We open up the show backstage, Tom Matheny stands alongside one Seymour Almasy. The Judge Magister of EXODUS is resplendent in his suit and tie, though he wears a concerned look on his face. Tom Matheny: I’m here alongside Seymour Almasy. Mr. Almasy, welcome to Revo. I know you’ve asked for this time, so I’m going to sit back and let you say what you need to. Seymour Almasy: Thank you very much, Mr. Matheny. I’m here tonight to make a decision. But before I make that decision, I’d like to take a little bit of time to address something that a gentleman by the name of Justin Brooks told me on Twitter, because it’s been in my head ever since. The former Final Fantasy hesitates a moment, taking a deep, deep breath, and blowing it out. Seymour Almasy: It’s not a secret that this job is a lot harder than I thought it’d be - those of you who follow me on Twitter see me tweet something to that effect every week. Sometimes twice a week. I make decisions that affect the lives of the competitors who come out every week to entertain you all. Whether I like them or hate them, I owe each and every one of those men and women the best job that I can do. Now, I’m not blind or deaf. I know there are those who are critical of me out there. There are those who think I’m making the wrong decisions. And you know what? While you’re all entitled to your opinion, I’m equally entitled to say, right now, to each and every one of you - go fuck yourselves. The Monster’s right. I’m going to make decisions, and I’m going to stand by them. No more worrying. No more hiding. Matheny looks a bit shocked, but the conviction in Almasy’s eyes remains there, and he continues on. Seymour Almasy: With that out of the way - and thank you all for indulging an old man for a couple of minutes - onto the subject of Simon Raines, and his continued participation in this company. I will take this opportunity to remind everyone that Damon Alexander insisted to me that Simon was a danger to his peers here. And that is the standard I am using to determine whether or not he belongs here. By that standard? Wins and losses are fairly irrelevant. Anna Giovanna’s of comparable experience level to Mr. Raines. She appears to be walking around okay. Chris Strike? Other than his pride, a bit, I don’t think he’s much the worse for wear. I DO want to address something in particular, because I’m pretty sure Damon thought he was sitting pretty after Raines’ shocking upset. Tom Matheny: That being? Seymour Almasy: Simply put? Simon Raines beating Chris Strike isn’t indicative of Simon being some sort of danger to his fellow students. What Simon Raines beating Chris Strike IS, however, is a clear statement that Revolution Wrestling is full of talent, from top to bottom, that would not just compete, but DOMINATE in any other promotion on the face of the planet. These students went toe to toe with the best Four Islands Pro Wrestling had to offer, and acquitted themselves more than favorably. To me? The surprise isn’t that an RW student beat a former EXODUS World Champion. The surprise is only that Raines is one of our less experienced competitors, because, honestly? This place has a locker room full of people who could duplicate Simon’s feat. Tom Matheny: Mr. Almasy, do you truly bel-- Seymour Almasy: Would you put it past someone with Carey Dean’s drive and will to beat Strike, Tom? What about a healthy Anastasia Starling, with an arsenal of aerial and speed based tactics that may be the best in Revo OR EXODUS? What about the technical marvel that is Sydney Christensen...the list goes on and on. The fact is simple - thus far, the records of those students promoted from RW to EXODUS speak for themselves. Black Jones has won two titles. UNCENSORED became the tag team champions, defeating one of the greatest tandems EXODUS has ever seen. Shinji Uchikawa has a chance to become a champion in a week from now. Devan Whitmore and Shozo Arino have faced many of the best we have to offer and acquitted themselves very, very well. We are sitting on the future of professional wrestling. It’s that damned simple. Seymour nods his head, firmly. Seymour Almasy: And because of that? Simon Raines is just fine where he is - provided, of course, he doesn’t take the decision out of my hands on pay per view. And he’s not the only one who can do that. Jackie Fowler - “the Lad,” whatever you want to call him, he’s got the same chance. If either of those kids becomes the first Pacific Coast Champion? I can’t deny them their rightful spot on the main roster. There. Decision made. And now? I’m gonna get out of here, because you’re going to be hearing from the kids in the Orange County tournament tonight, and they’re a lot more important than I am at this stage of the game. Without further ado, Almasy walks off screen, leaving Tom Matheny to stand there alone, slightly awkwardly, before the scene went elsewhere. CLANN LIR vs. CARLTON WINSLOW & DINA BRYCE Our opening match was an exhibition in great tag team wrestling, it was just unfortunate it wasn’t from resident (R)Evolution Wrestling punching bags Carlton Winslow and Dina Bryce. Brendan and Ciaran Samuels, Clann Lir, were out to prove they were more than a pair of sailors, and man did they prove it. Brendan opened up against Carlton, using his power to effectively limit the (R)Evo veteran’s speed and agility, throwing the smaller man around the ring with Suplex after Suplex, hitting Fishermans, Northern Lights, Germans and Tigers left, right and centre. It was at this point where Brendan, in a surprising show of generosity, allowed Carlton to get the tag out to Dina. Unfortunately, the hot tag was quickly extinguished, as Brendan quickly cut her off with a series of backbreakers, armbreakers and shoulderbreakers, wearing down the poor woman quickly and efficiently. Finishing off with an Immram Buster, spiking Dina’s head into the mat, before tagging in Ciaran. The older Samuels brother gave his younger sibling a few words of advice, and then the leash was off, the faster, more aggressive wrestler of the two descending upon Dina like a seagull at a feeding frenzy. Already having had her joints worked over by the older brother, Ciaran quickly showed off his catch wrestling skills, whirling around the young woman like a dervish, applying locks, hooks and holds allow over, effectively breaking her down. Only a lucky grab of the ropes managed to save her from a Dead In The Water, causing Brendan to shout to his brother to finish the journey. With a nod, Ciaran picked her up, and whipped her to the ringpost, tagging in his brother, before sprinting across the ring and sending Winslow flying off the apron with a Running Dropkick. As Brendan entered the ring, he hooked up Dina as if for a suplex, lifting her up and holding her there as his brother sprinted back past him, leaping to the top turnbuckle in a massive leap, before he spun around and dived off as Brendan began to drop, spiking Brendan’s huge Brainbuster in a move the brothers call the Gáe Bolg. Ciaran leapt aside as Brendan floated over for the pin, and the subsequent 3 count. Post match, the brothers celebrated, seemingly not even noticing when network representative Genevieve Tate came to the entranceway to applaud their victorious debut. WINNER: CLANN LIR

The man who appears next to introduce himself isn’t familiar to most fans of Revo, but that’s understandable - considering he hasn’t yet wrestled for the company. He’s huge, that much is for sure, and dressed down in a Duke basketball jersey and a pair of jeans. Propped on a tiny bed in a hotel room much too small for him, the big guy nonetheless grins. Jamar Williams: Hey. The name’s Jamar Williams. What I do? I pick things up. Heavy things. Been doing it for a while, but you know what? It doesn’t pay the bills so well, so I decided it was time to pick up people instead of stones, cars, or whatever the Hell else. That’s why I’m here, a couple thousand miles away from my native North Carolina, learning how to wrestle. How to take the raw power that I’ve got rippling through these muscles and convert it into the sort of machine that makes people tremble. He flexes, hitting a double-bicep pose to show just how much of that muscle he has rippling. Jamar Williams: I’ve got nothing to lose. Hell, I wasn’t supposed to be wrestling yet - but since we’ve been in Japan a lot longer than anticipated, I’ve got enough time under my belt that I’m making my debut on this very night. Ain’t nobody thinking I’ve got a shot - and that’s fine with me. It’s March right now, and for me? That means watching my beloved Blue Devils make a run in the NCAA Tournament. In the Orange County tournament, I ain’t Duke. I’m Florida-Gulf Coast. I’m Georgia State. I’m the underdog you’ve never heard of who’s gonna make a big statement, right quick. By the time this night’s over? You’re gonna know that I’m not just blowing smoke. And with that, the man of (relatively) few words is out, and we're back to Minoru and Pond, with Pond raising an eyebrow. Pond: ...did anyone think to tell him that he's...y'know, NOT in the tournament? Minoru Asano: I wanted to, but he's just so nice I couldn't bring myself to do it! Pond: ...siiiiiiiigh...moving on. Let's hear from GOTHRA, the giant monster girl. What the *BLEEP* does that even mean. Minoru Asano: Language! Pond: I'LL SHOW YOU SOME LANGUAGE YOU- The feed thankfully cuts elsewhere. We go to a certain piece of footage filmed earlier today inside of the backstage area for (R)Evo as we see the mighty GOTHRA~! take up most of the room in her massive, gargantuan form...her Cosmos Fairies also happen to be there too. Y’know, like at her side. Like always. Emi Watanabe is looming around outside of the cameras in case somebody tries to get stupid and mess with the GOTHRA. Cosmos Fairy #1: Ladies and gentlemen, salutations. We are the Cosmos Fairies and we are here with the purpose of spreading the message of the mighty GOTHRA-sama! Cosmos Fairy #2: That is correct. Today, the splendid GOTHRA-sama has been presented with an illustrious opportunity here in our home as the quest for the Orange County championship begins on this night. Cosmos Fairy #1: The beginning of this task starts with taking on young, newcomer Jamar Williams. Cosmos Fairy #2: A very talented young man. Very strong. GOTHRA-sama is very impressed with your raw strength and talent. Cosmos Fairy #1: However, strength alone will not be enough to defeat the all-powerful GOTHRA-sama, whose speed is beyond your imagination. Cosmos Fairy #2: GOTHRA-sama has been waiting for an opportunity to make her mark on this stage and the Orange County championship tournament is the right place to do it in. Cosmos Fairy #1: We wish you luck, Mr. Williams... Cosmos Fairy #2: ...and we hope that you do not take it personally when GOTHRA-sama flattens you. For that is the difference between man and kaiju… The cameras close up on GOTHRA and the expression on the kaiju’s face? But for once, we get something that follows such a shot. A voice… GOTHRA: Man proposes...GOTHRA disposes! And we return to your regularly scheduled broadcast. ORANGE COUNTY TOURNAMENT PREVIEW MATCH GOTHRA vs. JAMAR WILLIAMS Jamar Williams is a big man. He is, indeed, an intimidating man. And the crowd seemed excited to see this weight lifter make his RW debut. And they were especially eager to see this massive man take on a 15,000 ton KAIJU! Once again the mighty GOTHRA stomps into an arena, ready to engage in a large-scale battle in a toy-scale city! Or a ring. One of those, it doesn't matter. SHE WAS READY TO FACE DOWN THIS NEWEST MONSTER! AND JAMAR WILLIAMS WAS...SO NOT READY FOR THIS. The strong young man seemed PARALYZED WITH FEAR at the sight of the MASSIVE KAIJU READY TO FIGHT HIM. Though apparently bodybuilding makes your emotions switch on your face, as fear on Jamar seemed a lot like "massive paralyzing confusion." And the fear did not seem to leave him. The bell rung, and Jamar continued his very confusion-looking fear. GOTHRA approached him and poked him with one of her wings, and got only a more bewildered look from the bodybuilder. GOTHRA shrugged, grabbed him, and nailed the Dark Echo for a quick 3 count! The very bewildered Jamar came up the same time as GOTHRA, and continued to look like he didn't understand just what the fuck he'd walked into. GOTHRA tried to offer him a fist bump, and Jamar just stared at it. GOTHRA finally gave up, and went to celebrate as Jamar Williams questions all of his choices. WINNER: GOTHRA

We cut backstage and we see Carey Dean walking up to a doorway that has a clear sign on it...a sign that reads "JACKIE THE LAD" to indicate who is in the dressing room. With that, Carey turns his head to the camera and smirks as he points at the sign. Carey Dean: You heard of this guy? That's my boy Jack-o. This heavy hitter here ain't the kinda guy to take anythin' from anyone, and he's in the Orange County Title tournament. Dude throws fists like the best of them and holds his booze like a mean mother trucker. In other words, whoever's facing him is S.O.L., and we all know what that means! Carey chuckles as he looks at the door again and nods. Carey Dean: I don't know who's in the tournament. Don't really care either. I just know that seven other chuckleheads are gonna have some problems with my dude right here. Don't care when, don't care how it's gonna go down, just know that when you least expect it, my dude Jackie's gonna lower the boom and knock you out. That's how us Booze Brothers roll, y'know? Because after all, the drinks are on us...but the blood's on you. See you suckers after Jacko KO's you knuckleheads. Carey smirks and pats the door, walking off as the camera focuses on the name plate. ORANGE COUNTY TOURNAMENT PREVIEW MATCH CANDACE ROCKERFELLER vs. JACKIE 'THE LAD' FOWLER Can someone stop letting Candace Rockerfeller in now? By this point, we're all worried the next time she steps in, someone will actually kill her and then we're all getting sued. So yeah, Jackie faced Candace. And by faced we mean "basically assaulted" and by basically we mean she was assaulted. And did the crowd ever love it. For some unknown reason, they loved to see Jackie punch her in the face. But they were disappointed if they expected to get many minutes of Jackie pounding her face in. Don't get us wrong, her face got wrecked, but not over a long period. Jackie came into this clearly focused as hell on the tournament ahead, and what it would mean to him, and he wanted to show every other competitor in it what they had to worry about. So, the bell rang, and Jackie immediately right hooked Candace in the jaw, and she was out. But he wasn't done, as he hefted her unconscious body up to be able to nail her with the Lancaster Bomber, and the latest assault against Candace was over. Jackie ascended the turnbuckle after to let out a roar as the crowd cheered him on, the Lad showing he was very much ready for any challenge put between him and the Orange County title. WINNER: JACKIE FOWLER

We cut backstage and again in her dressing room, looking at her custom designed vanity that she's forced RW to bring with them from the US is The Supermodel Submission Starlet, Venus! Coming into her dressing room, watching her makeup team get her face on, is her agent Scott Carlile. Scott Carlile: V, darling, great news! Darrin Stearns put you into this Orange County Title tournament, and he's put you in a showcase match tonight against Naiser King. You got this under control, V? Venus sits back with her eyes closed as her glam squad continues their work on doing her hair and her makeup. At the announcement however, she sits up straight and stares up at her agent. Venus: It's about time that loser decided to put me in something. And who the hell is this Naiser King? Please. The only royalty in this place is yours truly. She flips her long hair before smirking. Venus: I can handle this. Scott Carlile: The information I've gathered says that he's...involved with Mistress Vivi, V. I can only imagine that's going to give you more motivation. Scott continues to look at his iPad, trying to find her more information. Scott Carlile: Other than that, I can't find more information. I think he hasn't done much here. Venus sneers at the mention of the Bayou witch and rolls her eyes. Venus: If he's involved with that little bitch then I know for a fact this will be a piece of cake. He's nothing, clearly. Scott Carlile: We got this, V Now if you want, I'll get you your water and we'll make arrangements for a nice suite with you and Mr. Kane afterward. Do your thing, V, I'll be ready to walk you to the ring! Venus: Good. Make it's sparkling water too this time, Scott. You forgot the last time and I almost vomited from the taste. Next time you mess up like that again, I'm firing you. Now, be a dear and hurry up. I'm feeling parched. And yes, get that suite too. She shoos Scott away with her hand before she lets out a sigh, leaning back to let the team continue their work on getting her ready. ORANGE COUNTY TOURNAMENT PREVIEW MATCH NAISER KING vs. VENUS Needless to say, neither person in this match likes one another - given the fact that Naiser happens to be one of the subjects of a certain Voodoo Queen and Venus absolutely abhors that particular Queen, well, it was bound to break down into violent warfare. Violent warfare that shows very quickly that Venus isn’t going to outstrike or outpower Naiser, as he begins to toss her around and all over the place with heavy power moves and strikes as if she was one of Christian Kane’s old call girls and he was “2009-on-a-full-fledged-coke-binge-who-just-superkicked-Santa-Claus” Christian Kane. Needless to say, it looks fairly ugly, although Venus gets some semblance of her dignity back by countering a particular scoop powerslam attempt by Naiser where she falls down right behind him and chop blocks him below the knee ap...where she does begin to go to work with stomps to the left leg and some holds, including a particularly nasty looking “Venus Fly-Trap” after Naiser tried to run her down on the corner with a running splash mid-match and missed the mark. But eventually, he gets out of that hold and Naiser’s power creeps back into the picture. Through pure, sheer power, he gets himself out of a “Photo OP” attempt by Venus, connects with a massive spinebuster and then makes an attempt to connect with the “All The King’s Horses” but as he elevates Venus up in the air, the “Supermodel Submission Starlet” has other ideas...like, I dunno, screaming her head off at the referee about Naiser King feeling up her ass like a pervert and moving around as if her life depended on it to cause Naiser’s leg to give out momentarily...which allows Venus to sneak in a thumb right into the man’s eye before slipping away from him and landing behind. But y’know, for extra measures and because she REALLY wants to stick it to Vivi, Venus takes off on a run and nails Naiser King with Mistress Vivi’s own “Hurricane Vivienne” before getting the pinfall on the big man for the victory, post-match claiming you might as also call her “Hurricane Venus” because she’s coming to demolish this voodoo bitch if they ever meet inside the ring. WINNER: VENUS

It is, apparently, the time slot for one Anderson Cobalt to hype up his chances at becoming the first ever Orange County Champion. Considering Anderson loves microphones, well, not at all, it’s probably not surprising that he’s not there. Unfortunately for Anderson Cobalt, and, well, probably everyone else watching, someone has decided to, out of the kindness of her heart, offer up a substitute endorsement of the Ace’s chances. Of course, that means that one Jenny Smith, fanfic writer of EXODUS, is here to -- HAH YEAH RIGHT LIKE COBALT’S LIFE COULD EVER GO THAT WELL! YOU’RE GETTING A CRAZY CHICK WITH A PIPE-CHAN AND YOU’RE GONNA LIKE IT. Yukiko Hojo: Hi, everyone! Sorry I’ve been around so little, but Pipe-chan and I have been consulting our legal options to get mean Mister Stearns to let us be a tag team, so we haven’t been able to wrestle as much! But when my favoritest wrestler in the tournament got announced, I knew he wouldn’t want to talk about why he’s OBVIOUSLY going to win, so I decided to put together an hour long Powerpoint presentation on why Anderson Cobalt will be the next Orange County Champion! A voice, heard only to Yukiko (and seemingly coming from the lead pipe being clutched in her right hand) makes the young woman sigh heavily. Yukiko Hojo: What’s that, Pipe-chan? We only have less than a minute? B-but how could I possibly express just how amazing and dreamy Ace-kun is in that little time? Her lips begin to move a mile a minute, as if running through all the things she wants to say about the man who is the center of (and quite possibly, the only current reason for) her life. Yukiko Hojo: I mean, sure, he’s awesome in the ring - and he beat that creepy old RPG man who has a Darrin Stearns mask, but the best thing about Ace-kun is how kind and compassionate he is! He was so nice to me when I first started here in Revolution Wrestling, and he’s been nice to me so many more times...all night...over and over again… She shudders, mouth parted in a silent “O” that proooobably has FS1 censors looking at one another a little bit concernedly. Yukiko Hojo: He’s going to be the champion! And then, once he’s all happy and ready to celebrate, we’ll get really really drunk! Drunk enough that he’ll finally forget those stupid latex things and I’ll be able to feel his love flow into me through more than the tiny little holes I poke in them! Toooodlleeeesss~! On that slightly horrific note, we go somewhere else. ANYWHERE ELSE. PLEASE GOD. ORANGE COUNTY TOURNAMENT PREVIEW MATCH ANDERSON COBALT vs. PHILIPPE BERTRAND The crowd was silent as Anderson Cobalt stepped out. Cobalt looked to the side, at the screen set to the side so everyone can watch the segments. He stares at it. He slowly looks back at the crowd, who all stare at him. He somehow makes his way to the ring and enters, and comes face to face with Philippe. Who is also staring at him. He cocks his head and all Cobalt can do is briefly raise his hands in confused exasperation, shaking his head. The bell finally rings, and the two try to lock up. But neither one can seem to really get a hold on the other, due to the confusion of it all, and they let go. They look at each other exasperated, and lock up again. It's the same result, and now both are just frustrated. Finally Cobalt jams his foot into the gut of Bertrand, making him double over, Cobalt hitting the ropes and coming off to hit him with the Stage Ascender, and covering for the 3. There was no real crowd reaction, the whole crowd continuing to look entirely confused by the video that just played for them. Cobalt looked the same, looking back at the screen trying to make sense of what the fuck he just saw. Just like everyone else is. What. WINNER: ANDERSON COBALT

“Voodoo” by Godsmack starts playing as the camera fades in on Mistress Vivi, sitting in an old wingback chair in a peasant blouse and a colorful patterned skirt, with her black ball python LaCroix draped over her shoulders. As the music plays out, she smiles at the audience. Mistress Vivi: Say hello to your inaugural Orange County Champion, everybody! That's right, Mistress Vivienne Robichaud, Voodoo Queen of New Orleans and High Priestess of Baron Samedi, is going to be the one rising to the top of this tournament to claim that belt. There will be people out there who will say that I'm not ready and that I don't deserve this opportunity. You know what I say to them? Vivienne raises her middle fingers to the camera, smirking. Mistress Vivi: Sit and spin, bitches. Sit. And. Spin. Dropping her hands, Mistress Vivi turns and gently kisses LaCroix on the top of his head, then looks back. Mistress Vivi: Let Elizabeth Lannister call herself the true queen of Revo. She and Venus can fight over that title while I'm busy stepping over them and everyone else in this tournament on my way to the top. I know who I am. I don't need to interrupt a match to proclaim myself queen. I have been queen in New Orleans since I was eighteen years old. It is more than just some title for me to claim for a little ego boost in the ring. And that is what none of these people have ever understood about me. Since I've been here, I have been pushed aside, demeaned, and underestimated because I talk a big game and I apparently lack the focus of my other competitors. But even though I like to enjoy myself instead of spending all my free time training, I have proven time and time again that I am one of the brightest talents in this godforsaken company. It's not all about talent, though. It's about having the drive to do whatever it takes to get what I want. It's about having the killer instinct of a Monster. Combine those with beauty, brains, and confidence and you've got the full package. You've got me. I will not bow. I will not bend. I will not break. I will be your Orange County Champion, and when I relinquish that belt, it will be to start my run for the (R)Evolution World Championship. And after that? Well, after that I'll be climbing my way toward the main roster titles. Just sit back and watch, my darlings. I have ascended from Hell itself to conquer everything in my path. My star is on the rise and I will bathe in the blood of all those I have crushed on my path to glory. Bow to your Mistress, bitches. Or I will break you down until you do. ORANGE COUNTY TOURNAMENT PREVIEW MATCH ANGELINA FANTASTICA vs. MISTRESS VIVI Though Angelina Fantastica entered the ring with the kind of confidence usually seen in more experienced competitors, it was clear almost from the beginning that Mistress Vivi was the one in control of this match. She worked hard to keep her smaller opponent grounded, working her over with a series of maneuvers designed to prevent Angelina from having a chance at playing to her strengths. Angelina did what she could to fire back at Mistress Vivi, but once Vivi hit her with the Hurricane Vivienne, it was all over for Angelina Fantastica. Mistress Vivi went for the cover and picked up an impressive win as she moves to the tournament proper. WINNER: MISTRESS VIVI

We cut to a grainy picture, the surroundings seem to suggest that it is in the backstage area however it is utterly secluded. Crackling noises are heard as someone moves around the camera, clearly hitting the onboard microphone as they do so. The video is laggy and choppy, chunks of the screen staying still before moving again and in the top corner of the screen ‘UNSECURE CONNECTION’ is written in small green writing with an open lock next to it. The camera then spins around to reveal the uncomfortably close face of NoVaK, the Supernova. His breaths are heavy, a long continuous giggle slightly audible in between his breaths. He taps the lense before speaking. NoVaK: I...spoke to them! Ye..Yee...YeeEeeeeAaahhahahahHEheheheHAhahahah! The stars! Look up! Ah! Ahhh...? The Supernova flips the camera around for a few moments before focusing it back on himself. NoVaK: THEY! Told us EVERYTHING! That WE! Need to know. Never have I...SEEN...a place like THIS! Cast my gaze upon it with these...WINDOWS to my SOUL! It changed...me. In WAYS I can’t explain! Ah! It BURNS! ALL of YOU! Will...you’ll..and then...BURN! ACID IN MY VEINS! He pulls an uncomfortable face, one of anguish, before getting closer to the camera even more so than before. He begins to speak again in a sharp, hushed whisper. NoVaK: The squid! ...He ESCAPED from my net! MAYBE I should have asked the...SAILORS for HELP! I’ve been to the MOON...and back! But NOT your moon! Mine! My own! It’s mine! FINDERS KEEPERS! Rugggghhh...I gave it to Dave - SWEET DAVE. I showed her EVERYTHING! And she is better for it! DaVeAk! Oh! Sweet DaVeAk! She was SUPPOSED to be a connection...from someone like NoVaK...the SUUUUUUPERNOVA! To you! ...But you rejected her! Just like...you rejected me! I reached OUT THIS GLOVED HAND! You turned...me...down. Is it because of my family? They’re PLENTY NICE when you get to know them! BONES! SKELETONS ARE DANCING IN THE HALLWAYS! YaaaHeeeEeheehEHehhoooOooo! But that’s NOTTTTTT..why...I’m here! Today! ORANGE! What rhymes with ORANGE!? HM!? NOTHING! Do you cast oranges...ASIDE? YOU drink ORANGE JUICE EVERY DAY! Am I the DERANGED one!? YOU SqUeEeeEeeeZE the life out of the poor wittle owange! Ah! The squid! MANNEQUINS! Ah! CHAOS! Chaos? CHAOS! PANDAMONIUM! TWENTY THREE. Moving the camera up the screen is filled with the sun-esque image of NoVaK’s eye darting back and forth before the video suddenly distorts, with the image of NoVaK’s eye pixellating, before exploding over the screen, to be replaced by something else entirely. Long ginger hair frames a female face, painted gold with a black star over the centre. It’s quickly apparently this isn’t NoVaK, or even DaVeAk, as she starts to speak. JoDiEaK: YYYYYYYYyyeeeEEEEEEaaaAAAAaaahhhHHHH! She laughs, as she looks about at the audience. JoDiEaK: HeeeyYYYy! She coughs. Jodie: God, how do people talk like that? Sorry, couldn’t resist butting in. Don’t worry, I’ve not gone Lifer, thanks Ginny! She leans into the screen. Jodie: I think we’ve heard quite enough from The Family’s resident basket case tonight, so now you get the company of, well, me! She smiles. Jodie: You see, I’ve got a message to give. I don’t know if NoVaK thinks getting his ass handed him in a morgue meant Mister Jones was finished with him, because it really doesn’t. You see, someone like Mister Jones? They’re strictly business. But you had to go an make things personal, didn’t you? You had to show everyone you were the biggest... I don’t know what, freak? That’s fine. But you made a mistake. You crossed a line. And now He’s coming for you. She leans back, still smiling. Jodie: You know what your problem is? You’re too impulsive. You’re too eager. And you’ve no idea how to pace yourself. Mister Jones, though? Mister Jones has a lifetime’s experience in sitting back and observing. A lifetime’s experience in controlling himself. And a lifetime’s experience in sitting back and playing the long game. And trust me, no-one plays the long game quite like Mister Jones. So you run around, with your YYyyyeeEEEaaahHHHss and your stars. You weather the storm as people come after you for what you did to Dave. And just remember, in a little corner of your mind, that Mister Jones is there, watching, waiting. She leans right into the screen, filling it entirely with her face. Her face becomes deep, resonant, and slightly alien. Jodie: Because He Who Sleeps Shall Soon Awaken, And He Will Devour The Stars. She starts laughing, arguably a more disturbing laugh than NoVaK’s, and leans back as the screen cuts to static, before switching off. ORANGE COUNTY TOURNAMENT PREVIEW MATCH CHAOS vs. NoVaK Chaos wasn't ready. As soon as Chaos entered the ring the lights in the arena went out. When they came back on, Chaos was no longer alone in the ring as behind him stood the Supernova, NoVaK. And it could be easily assumed that what happened next was directly due to Jodie's interruption of his rantings. He MAULED Chaos, taking him to the mat and picking him apart. Literally, at points, as he BIT into Chaos! And finally, chose to end the man's suffering as he nailed him with And So The Sun Dies. NoVaK immediately hopped up after the 3 count and got into the camera's face, shouting at Jodie, Cthulhu Jones, and anyone else watching that the stars would wipe them out, and all that would be left was the SUPERNOVA. WINNER: NoVaK

We come backstage, and we find ourselves with Caleb Storm. Tom Matheny is standing by with him, and he smiles a little as he nods towards the interviewer. Tom Matheny: Caleb, you were announced as one of the lucky people in the Orange County Title tournament. How are you feeling about things? Caleb Storm: To be honest, part of me isn't sure I deserve the opportunity. Wins and losses matter in pro wrestling, everyone knows that. Everyone says that I have potential, that I can do great things. At some point, potential becomes just another word. You either live up to it and succeed, or you fail. Lately, no matter how great I've looked, the results are saying otherwise. I can look as awesome as I like, but if I'm not winning, I'm not effective. It's frustrating and a little disheartening, but all I can do is keep trying and hope for the best. Tom Matheny: Tonight, you get a chance to showcase yourself before you get into the tournament. How are you feeling about facing Explosivo, a guy you've noted on Twitter is one of your friends? Caleb Storm: I think it's going to be a huge test for me. I don't know how I'm going to do, but I'm going to go out there, do my best, and try to cont-- As he speaks, someone else approaches the frame and puts an arm around Caleb, leaving him a bit uneasy, even if...well, even if it's EXODUS Pro International Champion, Christian Kane. Christian Kane: I got this, kiddo. Kane tips the microphone over in his direction, diverting tom from Caleb. Christian Kane: See this kid right here? I just watched him go for two hours earlier. The kid's got talent, okay? This isn't some hyperbole, this kid is damn good, and that's truth. So if you wanna sell him short, by all means go ahead, I ain't gonna stop you. But be prepared to get disappointed because you're going to find out just how great he is. And if you think he's good now? Just wait until I'm done with him. This kid will be crapping excellence when he learns a thing or two from me. So Explosivo, or whatever the hell your name is, you masked cockroach...be ready to go back to mowing rich white people's lawns, Caleb Storm is about to steamroll you. Caleb Storm: Wow, that was kinda... Christian Kane: Excellent? Fantastic? Well said? Caleb Storm: Mean spirited, but I guess those also fit. Christian Kane: You got a lot to learn, kiddo. Now come on, let's get you prepared to take on this nobody. Kane walks off with Caleb, Storm looking back at Tom as he seems almost overwhelmed by Kane as he walks off with him, almost uneasy in following Kane. ORANGE COUNTY TOURNAMENT PREVIEW MATCH CALEB STORM vs. EXPLOSIVO This had to be one of the most interesting matches of the night. Both Explosivo and Storm have a similar style, so once the bell rang and a handshake happened, the match became a sprint! There was a flurry of dodges and reversals, putting on some of the finest junior heavyweight action Japan or North America have seen in quite some time, Caleb backflipping over a sweep attempt from Explosivo, Explosivo rolling under a clothesline attempt to roll back onto his feet, Caleb ducking a superkick and leaping up to catch the masked star in a crucifix! The two friends continued to test one another to go faster and fly higher, some amazingly fast paced action coming from the two high flyers. One of the most amazing moments came when Explosivo and Caleb were fighting as they were on the turnbuckles, only for Caleb to leap up to balance on the top rope before leaping up again and grabbing Explosivo to hit a huge hurricanrana! Caleb began to look ready to go for the finish, whipping Explosivo to the ropes, who in turn nailed a huge Caída de Dinamita on Storm! Caleb looked like he was about out of it, but it took Explosivo too long to set up the Bomba Atómica, which gave Caleb time to recover and put his knees up right as Explosivo made impact! With the High Speed Luchador reeling, Caleb was able to grab him and hit the Halo Smasher to pick up the pin. Following the match, Caleb and Explosivo shared a hug and a handshake, Storm raising his hand in victory to show respect to his opponent! WINNER: CALEB STORM

The cameras come into focus upon a lone figure sitting upon an elegant looking gray wrought iron chair with an intricate fan back to it. The figure is revealed to be that of Elizabeth Lannister. Dressed in a pair of black heeled sandals and a deep crimson dress with an intricate gold vine pattern on the bodice, her hair falls down around her shoulders as she leans back in her chair, looking confident as ever. Elizabeth Lannister: All talk and very little action. That is a pretty simple yet accurate description of the landscape that is rEvolution Wrestling. Such a sad state of affairs. If only there was someone out there who was able to strike a happy medium between getting the job done in and out of the ring. If only there was someone who was able to lead this company into a new era of prosperity. If only there was someone who could stand up to those false prophets with silver tongues who threaten the very existence of those who seek to make a name for themselves. She looks down for a second before looking back up with a wickedly confident smirk on her face. Elizabeth Lannister: Fortunately, I am such a person. With this Orange County championship tournament, everyone is going to bear witness to the ascension of the one, TRUE queen. Not some silver tongued harlot from the swamplands. If anyone on this roster has the credentials to make a legitimate claim to the title, you are looking at her. I have proven to be the crème de la crème of the rEvolution second class. Winning this championship? Icing on an already exemplary cake. She leans forward in her chair as her gaze goes from somewhat amused to downright serious. Elizabeth Lannister: Robichaud. Storm. Fowler. Cobalt. Those are just spokes on the company wheel. The wheel keeps on turning, one person on top, then another, one right after the other. Each turn of the wheel, it crushes the people on the bottom. What I plan on doing is not simply stopping the wheel. I am going to break the wheel. With that, Elizabeth gives a little wave as she leans back in her chair. ORANGE COUNTY TOURNAMENT PREVIEW MATCH ELIZABETH LANNISTER vs. TAKERU YUUSOU Elizabeth Lannister may have expected a cakewalk in her opening tournament match, but Takeru Yuusou had no intention of making it easy on her. Elizabeth dominated early on, fighting an intelligent battle against the hungry young man, making him do all the leg work, and keeping herself on top with some tactical counter work, culminating in an early Lion’s Roar that earned a two count. This apparently flipped a switch in the head of the Sushi Ronin, causing him to switch gear, and transition from a technical wrestling style to a speed based street fighting offence, unleashing a storm of kicks, slaps and elbows that took Elizabeth by surprise, unsettling her and throwing her off her game plan. A well timed Irish Whip from Lannister broke up the onslaught, however she was unable to capitalise as Yuusou used his speed to dodge everything she threw at him, finally ducking under an attempted Kingslayer, before rebounding off the ropes and connecting with a Lunchtime Rush to the obvious delight of the crowd. The Japanese star attempted to lock in the Wasabi Heat to end the match, only for Elizabeth to quickly spin out of the hold, tripping him up as she did so. Rattled, but not beaten, Lannister came back stronger than before, slowing down the faster Ronin with a series of moves to his legs, low calf kicks being followed up with a Shinbreaker and a Dragon Screw. A moment of taunting to the crowd almost proved fatal for the self declared Queen of (R)Evolution, as Yuusou suddenly pulled some energy out of the bag, and rolled her up with a California Roll, eliciting an extremely close two count, and the Queen’s ire, as she quickly recovered, and took down Yuusou with a Debt Fulfilled, before further sealing the deal by following up with The Red Wedding, leaving the Sushi Ronin no option but to tap out, much to the crowd’s disappointment. The chorus of boos that washed over Lannister as she gloried in her foe’s defeat were eventually replaced by applause as she left, for the surprising challenge the new star had given her. WINNER: ELIZABETH LANNISTER

TRILOGY OF ATTRITION III - STEEL CAGE - NUMBER 1 CONTENDERSHIP TO THE (R)EVOLUTION WRESTLING WORLD TITLE CASSIDY CARTER vs. CAREY DEAN Pond: It's main event time, and all good things must come to an end. The Trilogy of Attrition started with Carey Dean defeating Cassidy Carter in a Falls Count Anywhere match, with Carter evening it up by defeating Dean in a Tables match. Now it's the final encounter in the match of her specific choosing, a steel cage match! It's the first steel cage match in (R)Evolution Wrestling history, and only the third in the history of EXODUS and RW combined. The winner won't just get the long awaited bragging rights, but they'll become the number one contender. Minoru Asano: Which will be a gift and a curse for them, friend! There's a chance they'll either be facing a heated rival or a close friend depending on who wins at Repetition of Hatred! Pond: Well, we'll see who's willing to kill someone they love or hate more. For now, let's hit the ring for our main event! The house lights go dark as "Can You Feel My Heart" by Bring Me the Horizon begins to blare through the speaker system. The lights remain dark for the first part of the intro, then white strobes flash to the beat as the intro repeats. The intro ends with a scream as a single spotlight illuminates the curtain as Cassidy Carter steps through. Her face shows no emotion as she pauses in front of the curtain before walking down the aisle. She doesn't acknowledge the fans as she passes, even as they reach out for her. She walks coldly to the ring, quickly climbing the stairs and ducking under the ropes. She moves to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle as the spotlight fades out and she is illuminated by white strobes again. She looks over the crowd with icy indifference before jumping down, just waiting for the match to start. David Zinkus: Introducing first...representing the Sisters of Sin...CASSIDY CARRRRTTERRRRRRRR! Pond: Cassidy is convinced Carey doesn't have the strength or fortitude to put her in the hospital or seriously injure her tonight. Minoru Asano: This is going to get real interesting tonight, friend! "People ask the question... what's a RocknRolla? And I tell 'em - it's not about drums, drugs, and hospital drips, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, other the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the f***ing lot." And as soon as the quote finishes, the heavy intro of a song starts, and the crowd turns toward the entrance at the sound of "Breaking Skin" by Nonpoint! I NEED MORE THAN JUST BLOOD AND AIR TO SURVIVE! THERE'S A HOLE SO DEEP AND COLD, IT WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY! UNTIL YOU...FEEL THE SKIN...BREAK! David Zinkus: And introducing next, from San Diego California And as soon as the chorus starts, the crowd erupts as the standing figure at the entrance way is Carey Dean! With a bandana over his face from the nose down, hood over his head from his sleeveless hoodie, wearing his War Machines t-shirt given to him by the original group. At his side is his manager Tom Higashikata, presenting him to the crowd as the two slowly start walking down to the ring, his eyes cold and focused on the ring in front of him before he steps away from Tom, looking over at the cage. With one more glance at the cage before shaking it to test it out before starting to climb the cage. Pond: What the hell is he doing? Carey starts climbing the cage, and the crowd starts watching as Cassidy starts charging the wall he's climbing, looking to start making her way up to meet him, only for him to leap off as soon as he gets up there, bringing her down with a cross body block! Carey pumps his fist and instantly picks up Cassidy, tossing her into one side of the cage! He waits for her to bounce back before he grabs her again and tosses her into the opposite side, her face hitting the metal! When she bounces back, he catches her again and tosses her into the next side! And then when she bounces back, he charges in and slams her into the fourth wall, starting to grind her face into the steel! Carey hammers her face into the cage again before leaving her stuck in the ropes, her face still toward the cage before he steps back and charges forward, nailing the Struck a Nerve to slam her into the cage! Carey leaves her there before he pulls her out of the ropes and quickly whips her to the ropes, dropping her with a snap powerslam on the rebound! Carey starts to get up before he drops her with an atomic drop, before backing up and coming in with a Thesz press! He starts to hammer her with shots to the face before the referee pries him off of Cassidy, Carey letting out a primal scream as he goes back to her...BUT CASSIDY LOW BLOWS HIM! Pond: Cassidy is showing Carey no mercy! Minoru Asano: He's going to need to a lot of alcohol to clean those wounds! She watches as he winces, and as soon as she can get up, she grabs him by the tank top and belt and whips him into the cage, starting to slam and grate him into the steel like he had done to her earlier. Cassidy tries to hammer her into the cage again, slamming his face against the steel. Both competitors are busted open, and Cassidy quickly grabs Carey and drops him with a DDT to the mat, his feet hung on the ropes as she does so. Leaping up on the ropes, she drops down with both her feet on his back, leaving him rolling on the mat and wincing. Cassidy tries to jam her boot into Carey's throat, and he struggles a bit while he slams his hand on the mat some, trying to keep himself hanging on, but Cassidy finally picks him up and whips him to a corner, coming in with huge double knees to his ribs! Cassidy finally starts to walk toward the door, the referee starting to open the door to let her out, but as she starts to step through the door, Carey grabs her by the feet, starting to pull her back in! Carey starts to hammer at her, but Cassidy fights him off and as soon as she gets him back to his feet, she slams him back into the cage, sending him reeling. Pond: Cassidy Carter is showing him no mercy! Minoru Asano: Both of these have a desire to finish this, friend! They'll fight until they have nothing left! Cassidy starts to tie Carey up in the ropes before she goes back toward the cage door. Instead of opening it and leaving, Carter reaches over and yanks the chain off the cage that the lock was on to keep the door shut. Coming over to Carey, he starts hammering him in the face with the chain, the restrained Carey defenseless as he takes the beating from the Sister of Sin as she starts hammering in his face with the chain. Carey remains slumped in the ropes as Cassidy seems satisfied before she starts wrapping the chain around his neck and pulling it, trying to choke the life out of him as he gets free from the ropes, trying to escape the chain. Finally, Carter has enough and she grabs him...PRETTY LITTLE CHAOS! Cassidy practically cackles as she realizes that she has practically crushed him now, all while she starts to climb the the cage in victory. Cassidy continues to climb, taking her time as she starts laughing and cackling at what she's done, even stopping to mock Tom Higashikata. She stops at the top of the cage, the crowd starting to jeer as Cassidy poses and gloats... ...and then he gets up. Pond: THERE IS LIFE IN CAREY DEAN! Carey starts to get up and stir, but Cassidy won't take any chances. She starts to look down at Carey and scream, telling him to stay down, but the man refuses to listen, leading her to turn her back to Carey, leaping off for a moonsault...ONLY TO MISS! SHE MISSES THE MOONSAULT AND BOTH OF THEM ARE ON THE MAT IN PAIN! Carey continues to slowly make his way up and as soon as he starts using the ropes to aid himself, all as he starts looking down at Cassidy with fire in his eyes. She slowly starts to get back up as best as he can, and Carey charges forward, starting to pound into her, reaching for the chain to start punching Cassidy as he begins to fire himself up again. Carey finally gets up though and grabs the chain as Cassidy rolls to her back AND CAREY STARTS WHIPPING HER WITH THE CHAIN! She starts rolling around the ring in pain, and he starts looking at her before he points a finger at her like he's got a gun in his hand before shooting and grabbing her...IN BLOOM! Cassidy is down and he's still not done! He lifts her up...AND HE TOSSES HER LIKE A LAWN DART INTO THE CAGE! CASSIDY AND CAREY ARE BOTH GUSHING BLOOD OVER THEIR FACES, AND CAREY PICKS HER UP AGAIN...AND HE SLAMS HER INTO THE CAGE WALL! AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND CASSIDY SEEMS TO HAVE GONE LIMP BUT HE KEEPS SLAMMING HER INTO THE CAGE WALL! Pond: Carey may live up to his promise to murder her in the ring tonight! Minoru Asano: This may be one of his biggest mistakes, friend! Cassidy remains limp and he grabs her by the hair and yanks her down to the mat as he grabs the chain and wraps it around her mouth twice, forcing her to bite down on the chain before he uses the ends to hold her up, his foot on the back of her head. Tom Higashikata, in what seems to be a surprise, starts screaming at Carey not to do it! The referee is looking on at Carey, who looks filled with rage, and he starts to bring his foot back for what's next! Pond: HE'S GOING TO SHATTER HER FACE! With a moment of hesitation, he brings his foot back...and just slams her face onto the mat! Cassidy seems absolutely lifeless and limp, and Carey looks at her, shaking his head and walking away, shaking his head. Going through the door of the cage with ease, the bell rings and the crowd seems stunned as he goes over to his pal, bleeding, and just wraps his arms around his buddy Tom in an embrace as "Breaking Skin" by Nonpoint starts to play! David Zinkus: Here is your winner, AND THE NEW NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO THE (R)EVOLUTION WORLD TITLE...CAREYYYYYY DEAN! Pond: He...he showed mercy. Minoru Asano: Carey may have finally grown up, friend! I don't know if that still held up well for Cassidy, she felt his rage tonight! Carey and Tom walk off quietly, and as the two start to walk to the back, the camera cuts back to the ring, where Cassidy Carter starts slowly sitting up and cackling, laughing about things as we finally fade to copyright. WINNER: CAREY DEAN

The feed glitches out as the show ends once again, taking us to the featureless room and the Seer of the Paths, Shinji Oshima. This time he is not alone, as now laying on his lap is a new belt. From the words printed on it, we know this to be the first time we're seeing the new Orange County championship. Oshima looks down at it for a moment, before grasping it in one hand and holding it up.
Shinji Oshima: Another prize. Another goal for you all to aim for. Another reason to fight. Another way to build you up into people that might survive. 8 of you have the chance to put your names down in the record books of EXODUS. The first person to hold the Orange County championship. Who will it be? The arrogant Ace? The loudmouth fighter? The giant monster? The doubting Storm? The self-obsessed model, or the voodoo queen? The painted madman? The REVOLUTION's Queen? One will rise.
Shinji Oshima: All of you have that chance now. Each and every one of you has an equal chance to rise up, to overcome 7 others to become legend. Because only one of you can be the first one to grasp this belt and be recorded in history for it. The rest? They'll have to settle for having failed. They'll have to pick themselves up, if they can, and try again. But for one of you, you'll have guaranteed you'll be remembered.
Shinji Oshima: So now is the time to strengthen yourselves. Where if you want to become champion then you must forge yourselves into something that can survive this trial. And maybe if you do that, you might be strong enough to survive what's coming. You all want a chance to prove yourselves? Here it is.
He leans forward, looking straight into the camera.
Shinji Oshima: So fight.
The feed cuts.
