We open to an absolutely rabid crowd in the Dojo as “Revolution” by Authority Zero blares over the speakers. We sweep over all these excited fans before moving over to the announcer’s table, where we find Pond, Minoru, and a new addition. The Big L, Steve Lenton. Pond: Hello everyone, and welcome to (Я) to the Core II! We have an amazing show for you tonight, but first. IT’S THE BIG L! The crowd goes wilder as the Big L stands up briefly to receive it, a giant grin on Lenton’s face as he sits back down. The Big L: Thank you very much, Pond. Let me tell you, the Big L is so happy to be here. Big L has been a fan of (R)Evo since day one, and I’m so excited to be sitting here with you two, watching all of this up close. Minoru Asano: And we’re so happy to have you, friend! Pond: As is everyone out there watching. And you picked a great night to start off, Steve. Tonight is packed! We have the debut of Ethan Anima! We have what could be the final confrontation between Naiser King and Darius Reed! We have the clash of the brothers Samuels! We have the return of Anwar Saad against Gunnar Stahl! Eve meets Masato Kanemoto! Elizabeth Lannister takes on Sydney Christensen for a prize! The Orange County is on the line as Venus defends against Caleb Storm! There’s a 6-team elimination match for the number 1 contendership to the tag belts! And our main event, Carey Caldwell defends the RW title against NoVaK! Minoru Asano: There’s so much going on! The Big L: And I love it! Let’s get to it! Pond: Let’s! It’s time for the debut of Ethan Anima, take it away Zinkus! David Zinkus: The following is your opening match and it is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first… A blast of dissident sound hits the PA all at once, pounding into the eardrums of anyone who would listen. "Schema" by Circa Survive's rhythmic lyrics soon follow, the vocals piercing through the air. The anthem continued to croon, a haunting melody that caused the world to stop and stare at the man who slowly crept his way onto the stage with a stone faced expression across his stoic features. A few pockets in the crowd let out a mighty roar of approval, cheering for the man making his way to the ring with such a cold disposition that it chilled the arena, an indifference impossible to describe. David Zinkus: From Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 227lbs...KAIDEN HAWKE! His name was hardly remembered, however, Kaiden Hawke's intangible presence spoke volumes to anyone watching, his neck clicking to the side, an inaudible crack leaving his joint. The walking vessel's eyes swung to and fro across the arena landscape, examining every sight and every sound he could absorb. A faint smirk crossed his face as he approached the steps, the song still hungrily following him. Step by step, he climbed the steel steps, expression solid once again, and walked along the apron. Climbing into the ring with a business-like air to him, he kept his attention towards his corner of the ring, wasting no time at all beginning to cling to the two perpendicular adjacent top ropes by his elbows, arching his back slightly to relax with a measure of patience adorn his face. The music began to die down, just another day at the office, while Kaiden simply rested in his corner of the ring, eyes darting lazily back and forth between the referee and the stage to his right. Pond: Hawke’s not had the best of times here in RW. Minoru Asano: Not really! The Big L: The Big L’s seen that, he’s had some hard losses, but the kid has some real potential. Big L thinks he just needs to have that moment where it all just sparks, and then he’s gonna be big. David Zinkus: And his opponent… The lights in the arena dim slowly to complete black, and the crowd starts to stir before... And the angel of the lord led me Into the belly of the holy mother A chamber black as pitch But I felt no fear, only comfort, For I was as a child in the womb And she bade me "Peer through yonder portal Which looked upon the heavens, And behold! a mournin' angel" And the lights begin to come back up to normal, when standing at the entrance, holding a staff with a phoenix on top, is Ethan Anima! Anima wears a long white robe, complete with hood on top as he slowly begins to walk toward the ring as soon as the drums of "Sour Grapes" by Puscifer begin as he takes in the reaction. Stopping halfway to the ring, Ethan looks around the arena from his perch on the steps between sections on his way down to the ring before he slams his staff on the steps, the bird being illuminated from the top of the staff as he slowly starts to walk back down the remaining steps towards the ring. David Zinkus: From Sacramento, California, weighing in at 205lbs...ETHAN! ANIMA! She ascended slowly from far beyond the horizon, Her light like a heavenly finger pointing the way And on yonder wall she traced for me a path Which led me five directions, eight winters to east, As the man continues to preach over the groove riff, Ethan slowly starts to enter the ring and drop to his knees, holding his staff as he closes his eyes and begins to seemingly pray before he takes a deep breath and stands back up, slamming his staff down again as the lights go back to full brightness in time with his tap to the mat. Ethan slowly begins to take off his robe after leaning his staff against his respective corner before he waits for the match to begin. Pond: Not much we know about Anima yet. Minoru Asano: He helped put the Uroboros away! Pond: That he did. But that was his sister. I know she was a monster, but who does that to their own family? The Big L: There’s a lot of questions right now. But The Big L likes this guy’s attitude. Can’t wait to see what he brings to the ring. ETHAN ANIMA vs. KAIDEN HAWKE The crowd had some good reactions in this bout, Hawke having a small following against the debuting Ethan Anima. The two started the bout with something that was nothing more than a series of reversals and jockeying for true position in the match, the crowd applauding as both men seemed to be evenly matched. Kaiden made a mistake, which led to a European uppercut from Ethan as he slowly began taking control. Wearing down Kaiden with arm bars and submission attempts, Ethan began showing the crowd that he wasn't just some person with no skill, but he was an adequate wrestler! Kaiden began to take over the match and started hammering the upper body of Anima, working over his arms as well to keep him prepped and tender for Lazarus' Hook. Anima tried to recover with a leaping leg lariat, but Hawke caught him and grabbed him with a spin out powerbomb! Ethan seemed absolutely out of it, and Kaiden continued to try to keep his advantage over Ethan until a missed lariat gave Ethan an opportunity, nailing a Pele kick that left Hawke dazed before he grabbed him to nail a series of butterfly suplexes known as The Alpha! As soon as he finished the sequence of butterfly suplexes, he lifted up Hawke for a modified side shiranui called The Omega! Upon hitting that, he hooked the leg and got a three count for a successful debut! Anima had picked up the victory and earned the respect of the crowd in a hard fought debut win. WINNER: ETHAN ANIMA Pond: VERY impressive debut there. The Big L: The Big L agrees. Hawke looked great out there too, but that Ethan kid definitely made an impression. That finisher of his is a hell of a thing! Minoru Asano: It was so impressive I’ll drink to it! Pond: It’s an interesting future ahead of us with Ethan Anima here. Let’s head backstage, and hear from him! We come backstage following the victory from Ethan Anima, and Tom Matheny is already standing there as Anima walks back, still holding his staff. Tom Matheny: Ethan, you just went out there tonight and made a statement in your debut against Kaidan Hawke. What would you like to tell the public following that impressive match? Ethan smiles as he taps his staff to the floor before he looks at Tom. Ethan Anima: Tonight, we witnessed a dawn, Mr. Matheny. Tonight, we witnessed a thousand points of light exploding all around the dojo and all across the world! Those of you out there, I want you to listen. Listen to me. Ethan stops as his smile goes from a grin to something softer, more calm and collected. Ethan Anima: Tonight, we're starting something beautiful. I want you to breathe...and I want you to listen to me. To all of you who supported me tonight, to all of you that will support me on this march, I'm asking you to listen. Take this message to heart, because it will be our banner that we hold high above the remaining world. We are from all walks of life, this crowd. We are the lost, the frightened, the scared, the enlightened, the chosen, the frozen. We are all one in the light, in our battle, in our march to the end. It will not be an easy path. Some people won't understand. Some people will crucify you for your beliefs. Just stand up, my friends. Stand up and be free! You and I will make it through! We will stand on the edge of the earth at the end of the cycle and we...will... break the cycle. And each of my thousand points of lights will create stars. You will light the end of the cycle. Just take my hand and hold it until the end. Until we've cleansed those who would do harm and injustice to (R)Evolution. Together, with your support, I will purge (R)Evolution from the dark. And you will give me life. Ethan looks at Tom and nods, smiling as he pats him on the shoulder and walks off, leaving Matheny there stunned.

Pond: It’s time for our next match, and it’s a doozy. Issac Solo is in action! Minoru Asano: And boy he has an opponent that can feed you well! Pond: Very true. Next, Issac Solo steps into the ring with Takeru Yuusou. The Big L: This is going to be a hell of a clash of styles. The Big L is hyped! Let’s get to it. David Zinkus: The following is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first! As the beat of “Battlecry” by Nujabes ft. Shingo02 begins to play over the speakers, the crowd can be seen nodding along with the beat. On the stage steps Takeru Yuusou to a good amount of cheers, a brief smile coming to his face before he sets off down the ramp. David Zinkus: Introducing first, from Hiratsuka, Kanagawa, Japan, weighing in at 180lbs! TAKERU! YUUSOU! Yuusou, head also nodding along to the beat, hops up onto the apron before quickly vaulting himself over the ropes, quickly hopping up the turnbuckle to face the crowd, bowing to them once before dropping down to wait. Pond: Yuusou’s an impressive wrestler, but his record’s not been so good lately. The Big L: Another case of a guy that’s clearly got all the potential, and he just needs that one moment. The Big L knows his old partner Wulf is a fan of this guy, and that’s good enough for me. Minoru Asano: I just love his sushi! David Zinkus: And his opponent… A sample from the late, lamented TV show LAST RESORT sounds out... the voice of Andre Braugher asking... "Do you WANT a war?" David Zinkus: From Long Beach, California, weighing in at 290lbs, he is ISSAC SOLO! Immediately, "Nate" by Vince Staples kicks in. Out into the arena steps Issac Solo, dressed only in his ring gear, with a white towel draped over the back of his neck. He clutches to the towel with both hands, as he makes his way in, tossing the towel ringside as he prepares to fight.... The Big L: This might not come as a surprise, but the Big L is a HUGE fan of this man! He’s no-nonsense, he hits hard, and he is so well-rounded this early. Absolutely, without a doubt, one to watch. With him getting that RW title shot, the champ, whoever it may be, is gonna be sweating Solo. ISSAC SOLO vs. TAKERU YUUSOU Yuusou was in need of a win after how hard things have been for him lately. Unfortunately, Issac Solo has a date with the RW champion, and he came in ready to show why he’s the one to be the next champion. Yuusou however did do his best to make it a hard time for him. Yuusou came at Solo with his fast-paced offense, managing to rock the big man a few times! But once Solo got his hands on him that changed. He rocked Yuusou with some hard blows, taking him down and working his left arm, and that did a lot of damage. Yuusou managed a brief comeback, getting far enough that he was ready to hit the Wandering Blade, but Solo moved at the last moment! This left Yuusou smashing into the mat, giving Solo plenty of room to grab Yuusou and hit him with the Samoan Squash for the 3-count! WINNER: ISSAC SOLO Pond: Another notch on the belt for Mr. Solo. The Big L: The Big L continues to be very, very impressed. Minoru Asano: I’ll drink to that! Backstage, Ruby Tyler is seen with a Mr. Potato Head doll on a table. The plastic toy appears to be wobbling on its own, as if trying to make its way toward her. With a roll of her eyes, Ruby takes a baseball bat and smashes the thing, then reaches for her phone. Ruby Tyler: Hi, Darrin? Yeah, problem’s taken care of. I’ll burn the pieces later but I’m pretty sure you won’t be bothered by this again. She hangs up the call before Darrin gets a chance to respond, picking up the broken pieces of plastic and shoving them in a canvas tote bag. As she finishes this, she looks up to find two young, scarred Japanese men staring at her intently with light tubes in their hands. They start elbowing one another and pointing to Ruby excitedly, whispering to one another in Japanese. Ruby stares at them, bat in hand, until finally they notice that they have her attention. Hideki Kojima: WE VIOLENCE XX! Hiro Murayama: No, we VIOLENCE DG! Ruby Tyler: Uh… hi? I’m Ruby... Hiro Murayama: Ruby! You! Hideki Kojima: You most violent! You teach! Hiro Murayama: You match! Ruby Tyler: Match? Hiro Murayama: Match! Yes! You and me, match! Hideki Kojima: No! Me and you, match! Ruby Tyler: I… still don’t know what’s going on. The two men exchange looks, then argue for a minute or two before turning toward Ruby again. Hideki Kojima: You most violent lady! We like this! Hiro Murayama: You… give match? Ruby shakes her head in disbelief, rolling her eyes at the the two of them and then looking up at the ceiling. Ruby Tyler: Jesus Christ… okay. Fine. One of you gets to face me at Welcome Oblivion. You have match. I’ll call Darrin. The two members of VIOLENCE immediately start celebrating, smashing their light tubes over their heads in sheer joy at having been granted the match. Ruby backs slowly away from this display and reaches into her pocket for her phone. Ruby Tyler: Hi, Darrin? Yeah, Ruby again. Listen… the two Japanese deathmatch kids want a match against me at Welcome Oblivion. I promised I’d face one of them. Think you can swing it? Ruby mouths the words “please say no” over and over again, but after listening to Darrin, her face falls. Ruby Tyler: I… really wasn’t expecting you to say yes. Yeah. Okay. I’ll be ready for them, don’t worry. I’m making a pretty disturbing habit out of this kind of thing. Yeah. Okay. See you at the show. Taking a deep breath, Ruby grips her phone tightly in her hand as the call ends, raking her fingers back through her hair. Ruby Tyler: I’m bed, bath, and beyond f***ing done with this company. Son of a bitch. As her phone starts to ring with another call, Ruby glares at the screen and without warning, whips it against the wall as hard as she can, causing it to shatter. Ruby Tyler: Sorry, I’m not available right now. And with that she walks off screen, pushing the camera out of her way as she exits.

The Big L: The Big L detects that someone is indeed bed, bath and beyond done with things. Minoru Asano: I do feel sorry for Ruby sometimes. I take a shot in honor of her. And next match that is happening too, friends. Pond: Ah yeah, the next match...oh boy, Jackie’s wrestling. The Big L: Big L understands how you feel, Pond. But, while he does not agree with what he’s been spitting, Jackie does back it up. Pond: Unfortunately. Minoru Asano: Jackie is like a fine glass of wine. Pond: What, how? Minoru Asano: You drink it. Then you realize it’s actually cow pee. Then you spit it out. Pond: ...who pissed in a bottle of wine? Minoru Asano: No one did, it was a bottle of cow pee! Pond & The Big L: ...k. EXPLOSIVO vs. JACKIE FOWLER Jackie Fowler was already waiting in the ring, jawing with the referee as his random tradition (that will probably not end well) as Explosivo makes his entrance. As the music of the masked man begins to die down, the ref turns away for the merest of moments to call for the bell. This is when Jackie strikes, with ferocious lefts and rights to the ribcage of the unexpecting Explosivo. He is literally taken off of his feet with every body blow, his back smashing into the corner with every hammer shot. The ref, Chris Dawson, attempts to get Jackie to oull away, only to receive a middle finger to the face. Dawson pulls back on instinct, believing the Middle Finger Salute is coming and is ready to ring the bell for a DQ, but Jackie doesn’t follow it up. Instead, he sensibly continues the assault on his masked opponent. Explosivo’s ribs are showing the damage, bright red punch marks where Jackie’s violent blows have made contact. Fowler keeps it high tempo, whipping him to the turnbuckles for a series of stinging splashes and a near fall. Fowler, the ever hot tempered, argues with Dawson over the call, which gives the masked man an opportunity for a roll-up and an extremely close two count. Explosivo takes over from this point on, high tempoed offensive including Headscissors, various arm drags and a couple of well-timed Monkey Flips that leave The Ripper spinning. Even after the last flip, Jackie defiantly glares at his opponent, flips the bird then falls flat on his face much to the amusement of the crowd. A couple of harsh sounding soccer kicks follow this up, that bring Jackie to his feet, and running after that with soccer kicks to his backside. Fowler, trying to escape and obviously bruised, even runs straight into the turnbuckles and is rolled up for a near fall. Explosivo keeps up the high tempo with a Two Footed Tackle that makes Jackie’s head bounce off of the mat and his protective mask goes flying!!! Chris Dawson ensures the masked man keeps his distance for a moment whilst he checks on Fowler, who rolls around the mat like Cristiano Ronaldo hit by thin air. The Mexican pleads that Fowler is milking it for all it is worth, but Dawson won’t have any of it, keeping their distance. It is at this point that the Daughters of Janus make an appearance on the stage, taking the attention of both the referee and Explosivo away from Fowler. Dawson tries to get them to leave, ever though they have not directly interfered. With the ref distracted, it gives Jackie enough time to groggily stand up, and when Explosivo turns he suddenly drops. The crowd gasps as they witness Jackie doing the splits, and following it up with a straight right hand to the Mexican’s cajones! Fowler follows this up with a majestic springboard leg lariat that has the audience, at one point booing, on their feet in applause. He keeps up the crowd’s reaction with a wonderful ropewalk clothesline, followed by a Glock 17 for a near fall. Jackie, as per, ruins his momentum by informing the referee that he once fingered his mother, to receive a warning from the referee and a ¡Pelé! From the Mexican for a near fall. A standing moonsault caused another near fall, but the Caída de Dinamita kept him down, especially seeing as Fowler’s protective mask was off! Explosivo feels the energy of the crowd and begins to climb the top rope! And sets sail… …Into Jackie’s fist! Somehow The Ripper was able to kip up, launch a ferocious right hand, very much akin to the Lancaster Bomber, laugh, then flop onto his face, splattering crimson upon the mat. At this point, Athena distracts the referee, just like last week, as Minerva slides in a steel chair once more. Jackie is first to crawl up, picking up the chair to the misery of the crowd. He screams at the Daughters, throwing the chair away and sending several expletives in their direction. Explosivo is up and rolls him up out of the blue a very close two count. As Jackie kicks out though, he manages to yank on the Mexican’s prized mask, pulling it right off! Explosivo covers his face out of instinct, blocking all camera’s from view as Jackie rolls him up for the three count! The Bastard rolls out of the ring after his bastardly tactics, jumping into the crowd and avoiding the Daughters. The Mexican Masked Man grabs his mask promptly to cover his face, quickly putting it back on as “Out of the Black” hits the P.A system. He shakes his head in disappointed, mentioning what happened to the referee, but it is to no avail. The result stands. WINNER: JACKIE FOWLER Pond: Oh wow Jackie Fowler’s a piece of shit what a surprise. The Big L: ...The Big L ain’t happy with that. Not happy at all. Minoru Asano: Cow pee. The Big L: Damn right he is. Pond: But moving on right along, we got a big man clash incoming… The Big L: The Big L KNOWS these two men are going to swing for the fences and we should expect that much. Minoru Asano: Tall friends call for tall drinks! Everybody grab your beer glasses.

A MOUNTAINOUS CLASH DARIUS REED vs. NAISER KING Let’s be honest, no one expected this to be a wrestling match. They expected to see two giant hunks of meat beat the shit out of each other. And they REALLY got what they wanted. Before the bell could even ring the two behemoths had clashed together in the ring, becoming nothing but a blur of punches being thrown. The two brutalized each other, each trying to push the other back but both refusing to budge. Finally a particularly hard shot from Darius seemed to rock Naiser just enough, Darius beginning to throw some big rights into his head, forcing him into the corner, where he nails him with some hard body shots before taking a run at the opposing corner, quickly twisting around and taking a run back at Naiser, intent on splashing into him with all his weight! But Naiser suddenly surged forward, catching Darius as he came at him and belly to belly suplexing him into the turnbuckle! The crowd went wild at this, as Naiser immediately scrambles over on top of the stunned Darius, beginning to rain down blow after blow onto the back of his head, until the referee comes in and forces him off. This gives Darius time to get to his feet and, while he seems slightly woozy, he’s still able to move forward and throw a shot over the referee’s shoulder into the face of Naiser, which made him stumble back, letting Darius dart forward and grab the big man, quickly popping him up and powerbombing him to the mat. This led to a period of Darius in clear control, knocking and throwing the young man around, showing off his strength and his speed in always getting right back to Naiser no matter how far away he got. This continued until, as he was bending to pick Naiser back up, he suddenly found himself rolled up! It was only a 2 count, but it allowed Naiser to get away and get to his feet. Both men now were able to come at each other again, and they crashed together once more. But this time, Naiser didn’t go with fists, instead suddenly driving his knee up into the gut of Darius, doubling him over and taking the wind out of him before SMASHING both of his fists into the back of the elder Reed’s head with a double axe handle, sending Darius to the floor. He quickly grabs Darius by the head and lifts him up, nailing him with the All The King’s Horses! But an amazing sight follows, as Naiser keeps a hold on Darius’ legs as he pulls himself to his feet, picking Darius up like he’s nothing to hit him with the All The King’s Horses for the second time! This time he lets the referee drop down to count, and the 3 count follows! WINNER: NAISER KING The Big L: HE DID IT! THE BIG L KNEW HE HAD IT IN HIM! Pond: The Mountain God-King has finally, decisively, put away Darius Reed! Minoru Asano: And what a feat of strength he did it with! Naiser is amazing, I'm gonna drink to him! Pond: Me too! This can only be the start of bigger things for Naiser King.

As the static begins to fade to a plane of pitch black. It consumes everything for mere moments, until a flash of coloured words are seemingly typed out in the top left hand of the screen: "Hello World!"5 5 5 5 5 Spread The Word“I’m here now.” 4 4 4 4 4 About The Virus“Do not fear.” 3 3 3 3 3 The Virus Isn't A Plague“Do not cry.” 2 2 2 2 2 The Virus Is The Cure“It’s Time.” 1 1 1 1 1 I Am The Virus. I Am The Computer“Time Is All You Have.” “Time Is All We Are” “We… Are Time.” The lights suddenly fire up once more, the stage overcrowded by clocks. Analogs, digital, trational grandfather clocks and more and more and more. They are stacked up on one another, left and right they go, ticking and ticking and ticking. Their faces all in the image of eyes ever staring out towards the ring, the constant bong of their alarms ringing out in everybody’s ears. I pirouette in the dark I see the stars through a mirror Music plays out from the P.A system, the beautiful song of violins echoing out around the arena. Tired mechanical heart Beats 'til the song disappears The violins grow more and more violent, frantic in their pace as spotlights, in the shape of eyes, circle around the sold out crowd. They seem to be circling around a particular area, moving closer and closer to it. It is far at the back, to one of the private closed off areas at the back, often reserved for special guests invited by EXODUS management. The crowds parted, as if Moses was parting the red sea itself until only one figure was left, a deer in headlights. Somebody shine a light I'm frozen by the fear in me Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me The music continues on, lights flickering on and on faster than before. As the spotlights circle around the VIP area, they suddenly fixate on one single spot. The figure is seemingly blinded by the lights, covering their elfin face up with their hands. In an almost childlike movement, they attempt to block the piercing light as if it could cause actual bodily harm. So cut me from the line Dizzy, spinning endlessly Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me Her hair was jet black, finely curled into little ringlets that cascaded like a waterfall down her slender neck onto defined bare shoulders. Her skin was pale, almost an ethereal beauty taken from the pages of a fabled ghost story and brought to life by a necromancer of literature. Her breath was cold, launching little puffs of vapour into the air like a rocket of nature. A single, solitary tear hung beneath her right eye, clinging on for dear life as if it never wanted to leave its master, a child on the first day of school who simply refused to leave its loving parent. Shatter me! Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me Lady Magdalena is caught in headlights, her head turning left and right unsure what to think of the sudden attention and the thunderous beat of the music. It grows more and more intense, as the crowd around her gasps. A top hat appears behind her, adorned by a ticking time piece and a pair of blacked out goggles. The face of the figure is blurred by the UV paint upon them, representing the circuit board of a master computer as the crowd closes in once more. If only the clockwork could speak I wouldn't be so alone We'd burn every magnet and spring And spiral into the unknown We see a figure flip through the air above the gasping and roaring crowd, long limbs kicking in the air and the tail of a ruby red ringmaster’s cloak flapping as gravity takes it’s hold. There is a scream, a banshee like wail as the figure flips once more, a childish laughter echoing out over “Shatter Me” by Lindsey Stirling and Lzzy Hale. If I break the glass then I'll have to fly There's no one to catch me if I take a dive I'm scared of change and the days stay the same The world is spinning but only in gray As the exterior noise is seemingly blocked out, the seas part once more. Upon the floor, seemingly unconscious is the figure of Lady Magdalena. The crowd are looking around anxiously for who did this deed, the mysterious figure in the top hat, but to no avail. If I break the glass then I'll have to fly There's no one to catch me if I take a dive I'm scared of change and the days stay the same The world is spinning but only in gray (Only...) As the arena darkens once more, the screen lights up with the words: “Time Is All You Have… Time Is All We Are”. And then… a face… Me...! Shatter me! Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me! Minoru Asano: What? The Big L: What. Pond: WHAT! Minoru Asano: Well that certainly answers...uh… Pond: WHAT!? The Big L: The Big L is indeed confused, but The Big L also thinks it’s time for our next match. Brother vs. brother, something no one wants to see, but at the same time we can’t get enough of. The Big L is very excited to see this one. David Zinkus: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first… When Ye Dead Come Sailing Home starts to play over the PA, as Ciaran Samuels comes out from the back, escorted by Genevieve Tate, waiting by the entranceway a moment or two, surveying the crowd. He seems tense, possibly nervous, but visibly calms as she places a hand on his shoulder. He slowly walks to the ring, and up the ring steps, ignoring the crowd the whole while. He stops, and taking Genevieve by the hand, helps her up the steps, and onto the apron. He rests on the middle rope, allowing her into the ring, before wiping his boots off on the apron, and following her in. He paces around the ring, testing the ropes as he goes, before heading to his corner and stretching out, as Genevieve approaches David Zinkus, and takes the microphone from him. Genevieve Tate: Ladies and gentlemen... presenting to you, representing the Pantheon... he is your Poseidon... CIARAN SAMUELS! She forcefully thrusts the mic into Zinkus' chest, before sashaying over to Ciaran's corner, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before exiting the ring between the top and middle ropes. He turns, and faces the entrance, waiting anxiously, moving his weight from foot to foot. David Zinkus: And next, his opponent… Ghost Of The Navigator blasts over the PA, as Brendan Samuels paces out from the back, ignoring the crowd as he marches on down the ramp. He rolls into the ring, remaining on one knee as he utters a prayer under his breath before looking skywards. Using the ropes to help him up, he finally stands, pulling on the ropes to test them before waiting for the match to begin. Minoru Asano: Here it is! For as many weeks as I can remember with drinking, these brothers have been trying to kill each other. Pond: To be accurate, Brendan has been antagonising Ciaran since his return as an agent of the mysterious Computer, seemingly blaming his brother for something. These brothers were once close, but after they took an LOA, something happened, with Brendan going missing, and Ciaran returning, largely amnesiac. The Big L: The Big L is excited to see competition of this intensity flourishing in (R)Evolution Wrestling. BLOOD FEUD BRENDAN SAMUELS vs. CIARAN SAMUELS Oddly, considering their frenzied battle (R)Evolution Roulette, the two brothers remain in their respective corners, eyeing each other up cautiously as the bell is rung. After a moment or two, they both slowly step forward, Ciar with caution, Bren with menace, and slowly begin to circle one another, sizing one another up. After each man doing a complete circle, Bren moves forward, Ciar responding, as the pair hook up, collar and elbow. Bren quickly gets the advantage, forcing Ciar back, but Ciar quickly digs his heels in, using his lower centre of gravity to halt his brother, even managing to force Bren back a step or two. The pair begin to circle, before Bren angrily breaks the clasp, stepping back, obviously frustrated that his superior muscle and weight has proved ineffective. Ciar betrays nothing, but maybe a hint of relief, as Brendan begins to pace around his brother, sizing him up for another assault. Suddenly, Bren bursts forward, hooking up his brother once more, slowly forcing him back. Ciar, out of nowhere, stretches out with a leg, digging his heel in, and twists, bringing Brendan down over his leg. Minoru Asano: Brendan’s frustration getting the better of him there, as Ciaran brings him to the mat with a Judo inspired move there. Pond: Before his memory loss, Ciaran was known as an exponent of the European Catch-As-Catch-Can, and I think we’re seeing flashes of that here. His brother on the mat, Ciaran keeps a hold of one of Brendan’s wrists, and applies a sharp armwrench, however Brendan quickly rolls over and pushes himself to his feet with his free arm, as Ciaran transitions the hold into a Standing Armbar, wrenching at the socket. Brendan starts throwing punches with his free hand, trying to force Ciaran away, but his brother just stays out of arms reach, before dropping to the mat, twisting and bringing his brother over his with an Armdrag, quickly getting back upright as Bren rolls through onto his feet. Ciar bounces from foot to foot, letting a cocky smile slip through his façade, as Brendan stops a moment, seemingly taking some time to compose himself. Slowly Brendan steps forward, seemingly not reacting as Ciaran charges forward, but he sidesteps at the last moment, hooking his brothers’ arms as he passes, locking him in a Full Nelson. Before Ciar can react, Brendan pulls him up and over, landing the Sea Dragon Suplex in the middle of the ring, releasing Ciaran and letting him flop down to the mat. Pond: What a Full Nelson Suplex! One of Brendan’s bigger moves, he pulled it out from nowhere, planting his younger sibling square in the middle of the ring. His brother on the mat, Brendan quickly rolls him over, and applies a Hammerlock, pulling the arm high up the back, sitting on the square of his back to add further pressure. He pulls the arm harder, as Ciar starts trying to squirm free beneath his, twisting his arm out of the Hammerlock, but only managing to escape into an Armbar. As Ciaran manages to roll onto his back, he hooks the leg of Brendan and forces him down to the mat on his back, before taking a grip on his other leg, and pushing against the knees, forces his legs apart, stretching his hips, as Brendan roars as his less than supple body is contorted past it’s limits. He forces himself up to a seated position, and struggling for anything, applies a Stomach Claw to Ciar, his face pained as he does his best to resist the counter hold, and pushing back against the knees of Bren as hard as he can. Unable to remain seated with the pressure on his hips any longer, Bren falls back down to the mat, trying to relieve the strain, only for Ciaran to dart forward, placing his hands on Brendan’s shoulders, going for the pin! ONE Brendan twists, taking hold of one of Ciaran’s arms, twisting it round into an Armbar, quickly wrapping his legs around his younger sibling’s stomach in a Bodyscissors to exacerbate the hold. The Big L: Now from what I know, Brendan is the less technical of these brothers, but right now, he seems to be taking a leaf from Ciaran’s playbook. Wrenching the Armbar in one arm, Brendan rolls over his brother, releasing the Bodyscissors, but resting on Ciar’s head with his free arm, forcing his face down into the mat. Quickly dragging his brother up to his feet, hooking his arm up behind him and doubling him up, driving his knee into his brother’s ribs, followed by another, driving the air out of him as he drives him into the corner. Hooking Ciaran up, he lifts him up for a suplex, before slingshotting him off the ropes. Pond: Here it comes, Immram Buster! Brendan slingshots Ciaran upright, going for the Slingshot Brainbuster, before Ciaran manages to slip free of his brother, keeping a grip on one of his brother’s wrists as he slips out, falling down and bringing his brother smashing into the deck with a Pegasus! Minoru Asano: I SAW A PEGASUS! The Big L: Now that was one sweet Swinging DDT. Ciaran doesn’t miss a beat, grabbing one of Brendan’s legs, and locking on a Leg Grapevine, twisting the limb as much as he can. Lashing out, largely out of instinct, Bren lets rip with a boot to his brother’s face, causing his brother to release the holding, rolling back out of harms way as quickly as he can, clutching at his face. Quickly getting upright, Bren is on the attack, dragging his brother back up to his feet, and sending him sprinting to the opposite corner. Brendan follows up, but Ciar uses the ringpost to vault backwards, floating over Brendan’s head as he just stops himself from colliding with the ringpost. As Ciar’s feet kiss the mat, he charges forward, going for something, only to get a Back Elbow for his trouble, staggering him backwards. After only a moment or two to consolidate himself, Brendan charges forward, going for a Crooked Arm Lariat, only for Ciaran to drop to the mat, hitting a Drop Toe Hold, with Bren’s head colliding with the bottom turnbuckle on his way down. The Big L: That’s gotta hurt. You see Brendan’s head snap back there? That’s a sure way to get a concussion. Trust me, the Big L knows. Slowly, Brendan rolls out of the ring, shaking his head as he does so, looking to regroup. With a cheeky grin, Ciaran points to him, and sprints to the opposite ropes. As he rebounds, he builds up speed, before going for a Tope Con Hilo over the top rope… ONLY FOR BRENDAN TO CATCH HIM! With his brother seated across his shoulders, Ciaran looking down at his brother in disbelief, Brendan charges forward, before hitting a Release Powerbomb, driving the small of Ciaran’s back right into the corner of the apron. Pond: Oh. The Big L: My. Minoru Asano: TEQUILA! Pushing his brothers crumpled body under the bottom rope, Brendan follows him into the ring, before going for a pin! ONE! TWO! Shoulder up! Brendan, letting the frustration show for only a second, gets up, and backs into the ropes a moment, before coming back, and hitting a Stomp right into Ciaran’s face! As Ciaran recoils from the blow, Brendan gets straight back up, dragging Ciar up with him, before hooking him up and bringing him crashing down with a Snap Suplex. He quickly goes to the ropes, rebounding, and hitting Poseidon’s Trident, the Double Pointed Elbow Drop connecting hard with Ciaran’s ribs, before going for the pin! ONE! Shoulder up! Bren quickly drags his brother up, using one hand to painfully twist his brother’s ear as his other hand clutches his head, pulling him to his feet, before driving him hard into the corner, before pulling him out of the corner, lifting his brother by the head and ear, and sending him up and over with a Toss. As Ciaran arches his back, Brendan approaches, going for another Poseidon’s Trident, driving his elbows hard into Ciaran’s ribs, going for another pin! ONE! TW- Kickout! Brendan quickly sits Ciaran up, applying a Headlock, trying to wear his brother down. He quickly wrenches the neck, changing his grip, his bicep quickly clamping down on Ciar’s head. Once more, he grabs a hold of Ciar’s ear, twisting it painfully whilst keeping the Headlock on, causing Ciar to start kicking in pain. The pain driving him, Ciar twists onto his feet, getting upright, driving his elbow into Bren’s stomach, followed by another, and a third, the last finally breaking his brother’s hold, before running to the ropes. As he rebounds back, Brendan drops down, looking to take Ciaran over with a Back Body Drop, only for Ciar to vault over Brendan’s doubled up body, hooking the legs, and hitting a Sunset Flip, trying to get the quick pin! ONE! TWO! Kickout! The Big L: That was smart work by Ciaran, catching his brother off guard there. Ciaran rolls back to his feet, as Brendan springs back upright. Ciar charges forward, only for Bren to lash out with a massive Backhand Chop, catching his brother in the chest, and spinning him on his feet. He quickly follows up with a second, the force of the blow driving the air from Ciaran’s chest, and staggering into the ropes. Not missing a beat, Bren grabs hold of Ciar’s head, driving the ear he’s been attack into the top rope, grinding the attacked orifice against the coarse rope, before hooking him up, and sending him across the ring with an Irish Whip. As Ciar comes back, Brendan spins him round, before driving his knee to Ciar’s back with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker. He quickly follows up for the pin. ONE! Shoulder up! Pond: Brendan clearly has the upperhand here, but Ciaran will just not quit. Brendan quickly takes hold of his brother, pulling him upright, and straight up and over with a Bridging Northern Lights Suplex, holding on for the pin. ONE! TWO! Kickout! Shaking his head, Brendan is straight back on the mission, wrenching his brother’s ear, and pulling him upright. Before he gets him all the way up, however, Ciaran quickly drops to his knees, hooking his hand over Brendan’s head and placing his own head under Brendan’s chin, hitting a Jawbreaker and sending Brendan staggering back! Minoru Asano: Ciaran on the counter attack now! Like last night’s Vodka counter attacked me this morning! Ciaran runs the ropes, and coming back, spin dodges an attempted Kick to the midsection, backsweeping with one leg to Brendan’s standing leg, as he grabs his outstretched leg with his hands, throwing him over his outstretched leg and crashing hard into the mat. He quickly advances, trying to wrap Brendan’s legs around his, but Bren kicks back hard, catching Ciaran hard in the chest, and sending him flying back. Ciar quickly rolls onto his feet, and he charges, but Bren is back to his feet too, and bursts forward, turning Ciaran inside out with a huge Crooked Arm Lariat. He goes for the pin! ONE! TWO! Foot on the rope! The Big L: Ciaran’s got to be running on empty now. Great ring presence though. Once more taking hold of the ear, Brendan starts pulling his brother back up to his feet. Hooking him up, he lifts him up for a suplex, slingshots him into the rope, and lifting him back up, hits the Immram Buster! Pond: Brendan finally hitting that huge Slingshot Brainbuster! I think Ciar may be done. ONE TWO THR- Kickout! Ciar is dazed on the mat. Brendan is now clearly frustrated, seemingly unable to put his brother away. Venting a few words at the referee, he grabs his brother by the head, and starts pulling him upright once more, before clocking him with a Forearm Strike to the jaw, followed swiftly by a second. And a third! And a fourth, sending Ciar to his needs! Bren picks Ciar up, and winds up another massive Forearm, but Ciaran suddenly bursts forward, hitting a burst of fists, rattling into the side of Brendan’s head, landing blow after blow into his brother’s face and steering him into the corner! The Big L: Someone finally had to snap in this match, and the Big L is not surprised it’s the younger, more firey of the two. Now we’re beginning to see some of the heat we saw last week! Ciaran continues unloading fist after fist into Brendan’s skull, before pulling doubled over and hitting a drum roll of clubbing fists straight to the back of Bren’s head, before turning away with a massive roar to the crowd. He turns, and leaps at his brother, driving a huge Dropkick into his chest, causing him to stagger out of the corner. Ciar is quickly back to his feet, and hooks his brother with a Hammerlock, slipping in front of him and hooking the head before dropping him hard with Triton, driving his face hard into the mat. He hooks Bren up for the pinfall! ONE! TWO! Kickout! Pond: Ciaran surging back! He nearly had it with that Hammerlock Legsweep DDT, but Bren still had plenty in the tank. Ciaran is breathless, and Brendan dazed, cradling his head from what was clearly a heavy impact. Slowly, but surely, each man groggily gets back to his feet. Bren attacks first, hitting a huge European Uppercut, knocking Ciaran off balance. Bren quickly hooks him up, and hoists him up for a Vertical Suplex, stalling it. Unfortunately for him, he stalls a bit too long, and Ciar manages to bend over and drive a knee into Bren’s head, forcing him to drop his brother, with Ciar landing on his feet. Bren hoists him straight back up, and Ciar lets rip with another knee, quickly followed by a second, forcing Bren to drop him once more, and as he does so, Ciar quickly drops him to the mat with a Snap DDT, going for the pinfall. ONE! TWO! Kickout! Minoru Asano: Nobody here can believe how these two are still going! Like me when drinking! Never stops! Not missing a beat, Ciaran quickly ties up his brothers legs, and locks in the Despoina! Pond: Ciaran with that modified Figure Four Leglock! Brendan’s in a world of hurt right now. Brendan, doing his best to pull the weight of his brother behind him, drags himself painfully across the ring, as Ciar starts applying further pressure. He almost looks like he’ll tap, before finally reaching the ropes with outstretched fingers. Frustrated, Ciar smacks the mat, and gets himself back up to his feet, as Bren pulls himself up to the ropes. Ciar advances, looking to capitalise, but Brendan quickly catches him and strikes with a Pendulum Backbreaker, killing Ciaran’s momentum flat. Both are laid flat on the mat, struggling to move. Both are dazed, looking in their minds for whatever they need, as the referee starts the count. On five, Brendan finally gets to his feet, as Ciar is still struggling to put 2 and 2 together. Bren pulls Ciar aloft, only to be caught offguard as Ciar bursts forward with a headbutt, damn near breaking Brendan’s nose, before hooking up his brothers head, and running to the ropes, looking for a springboard. Pond: Ciaran going for Charybdis. If he hits it, this is over. Ciaran springboards off the ropes, but as he spins, Brendan pushes him off of him, and as he lands on the mat, Bren pounces like a tiger, hooking up a Crossface Chickenwing, before dragging Ciaran up and over with the Mac Lir! Minoru Asano: MAC LIR! MAC LIR! Ciaran take all of it to head! The Big L: That’s it. Done… Wait! Brendan, still holding onto his brother, pulls him up, reasserting the grip of his Crossface Chickenwing, before hitting a second Mac Lir! It’s not over! He starts to pull Ciar up, his brother clearly barely conscious. Genevieve is screaming from the apron, as Brendan hits yet another Mac Lir! The Big L: Damn! He wanted him dead, and he made him dead! Ciaran’s got to be done. Still, Brendan does not relinquish the Crossface Chickenwing, rolling his brother over, and hooking his legs up, locking in the Absolute Bearing. Ciaran is clearly already gone, and Genevieve screams at the ref to end it. The bell rings! David Zinkus: Ladies and Gentlemen… the winner of this match, by way of Knockout… BRENDAN SAMUELS! Brendan lifts his arms aloft, as the crowd cheers for the efforts of both men. Without any care for herself, Genie scrambles into the ring, crawling over and taking the head of the unconscious Ciaran into her lap. Brendan looks down at her, then to his brother. For a moment, there’s a look… almost of pity, before he turns on the ball of his foot, and leaving the ring. Pond: And there you have it. I think we can safely say that’s the first name off of Time’s Kill List. The Big L: Someone needs to get the EMTs here. Big L thinks this guy might have a concussion. And trust the Big L, he knows concussion. Minoru Asano: I’m going to refresh my drink. They’re going to get the EMTs in! And we’re going backstage now, where the cameras are with Caleb Storm. Bye! WINNER: BRENDAN SAMUELS We cut backstage, and standing backstage in his gear, along with his "Face Everything and RISE" shirt, cut up and sleeveless like a wrestler would, is Caleb Storm. Nothing special, nothing fancy, just a guy on one of the production crates, sitting and thinking as the camera catches up to him. Caleb Storm: Over the past year, I've had to figure out my place in the grand scheme of (R)Evolution Wrestling. I'm not arrogant like Elizabeth Lannister. I'm not angry and malicious like Carey Caldwell. I'm athletic, and I'd like to believe I'm talented. I've also had a bit of an identity crisis since I've arrived. I'm not saying that everything Christian Kane taught me was wrong, but it wasn't. Trying to be Christian Kane was wrong. Does this mean I'm gonna stop being the second coming of #STUDLIFE? Hell no! But it means I'm gonna do this on my terms. No more spouting off like a prick, but you're gonna know that I believe in myself. No more "aw shucks!" Caleb either, because I know who I am and how good I can be now! I know that when that music hits tonight and I step out into that ring, that I belong in the ring with the best and brightest of (R)Evolution Wrestling, and it starts tonight when I get into the ring with you, Venus. I know what we share. Christian Kane made it crystal clear that it wasn't going to be easy to cheer for me tonight because you and him have found your way back to one another, and I respect that. I also know that tonight? Tonight is my one chance to prove to the world that Japan wasn't a fluke. That it wasn't just something I lucked into. Tonight is my chance to get that one thing I wanted since I arrived in (R)Evolution Wrestling almost a year ago! It's my chance to have my Moment of Impact. I can't say you're a bad wrestler, because you're not. And I can't say you're a lucky champion, because luck can only take you so far. What I can say, however, is this...I'm not coming to lose tonight. Not in front of my family, not in front of the fans, not while my home town is watching and having a party in our local Culver's! TONIGHT, I GET MY ONE CHANCE AND I WILL MAKE IT COUNT! Tonight, Venus, a star shines bright. New Glarus has already been there, San Diego and all points in between get TAKEN BY STORM! And I'll get myself that moment of IMPACT. Caleb reaches his arm forward and reveals his #STUDLIFE arm sleeve as we cut back to the ring.

The Big L: The Big L can see Caleb Storm’s focus here...and The Big L believes the young man is ready to take the world by Storm, pun not entirely intended. Minoru Asano: I love puns! Let’s drink to that, Big friend! Pond: ...Everybody focus for a second. Because we have the scum of the earth in Anwar Saad who’s hopefully going to get his ass kicked by the lost member of the Bash Bros in Gunnar Stahl. The Big L: Does The Big L detect a Mighty Ducks reference from you, young Pond? Pond: *groans and smacks head against the announcers’ table* ...Ow. ANWAR SAAD vs. GUNNAR STAHL Anwar Saad certainly hasn’t made friend in (R)Evolution Wrestling since his arrival, and after spending weeks bragging about 2KSaad, he had a chance to put his money where his mouth was as he took on one of the War Machines, Gunnar Stahl. Stahl had definitely won back the crowd after aligning himself with both Cleon Gray and Bryan Cade at the start of his career, and the former Tag Team Champion found himself in a position where he could start his singles run with a bang after dropping his match not long ago against Cassius Reed. The crowd was ready, and the minute the bell rang, it wasn’t just about the animosity that had built, it was an MMA fight! The two worked on trying to surprise the other with quick jabs and all around offense, Gunnar taking him by surprise when he went low and almost got Saad in the Gunnar Hook early! Saad was ready to use his own skills, but for the first time, Saad had to deal with the fact he was facing an equally talented MMA star. The two continued to eat punches and work on trying to keep each other grounded, and what looked to be a game of one upmanship for the advantage started to turn ugly. A few remarks and a cheap shot from Saad, and Stahl used his size to take down Saad and start hammering him! It was starting to look even more brutal, and as Saad tried to cover his face, Stahl kept hammering, starting to look to hit Saad with UCSS, only for Saad to kick Stahl in the groin! The whole thing started to turn ugly as the referee called for the bell. A no contest was declared, but the two continued to attack one another, and it was crystal clear that things were quite possibly far from over between the two MMA stars. NO CONTEST Pond: This thing has turned into pandemonium here and I’m hoping Stache breaks his damn nose. Minoru Asano: This match was full of hard shots from both men. I feel like I need to do a few of my own. The Big L: ...My God man, how much DO you drink?! We go backstage from the Saad/Stahl brawl and the cameras go to the so-called Prince of FIGHTING LOVE!, Kohei Obata, who is in his locker-room area, sitting, on a cell-phone. Somewhat... secretively... he looks around, seeing if anyone is near so as not to say anything... Kohei Obata: Yes... yes, of course... I greatly appreciate everything that you've told me, and shown me. ... No, no, I won't forget anything. I know what is at stake, and for what-- KLANG! Suddenly, the locker room area door swings open, hitting the wall, as Obata's cohort and teammate, Hajime Kon, enters, somewhat enthusiastically. Hajime Kon: 小幡!おはよう! Kon still can't speak English. Kohei Obata: I have to go! We shall talk! Obata quickly hangs up the call. Kon looks at him... suspiciously. Hajime Kon: 誰があなたに電話であったことでしたか? Kohei Obata: It was... nobody. Yamato. It was Yamato-senpai! Yes! Hajime Kon: なぜ大和先輩にそうすぐにハングアップする必要があるでしょうか? Kohei Obata: He... had to go, he said. He doesn't want to distract us before our big match tonight! Hajime Kon: お急ぎの方、小幡さんに行かなければならなかった1だったように思えます。 Kohei Obata: No, not at all! ... Kon. Hajime. This is our biggest match yet in our careers, since we went to Kingdom of Japan, and now here, to (r)Evolution. We need to be focused! Hajime Kon: はい! Kohei Obata: We need to be unified! Hajime Kon: はい! Kohei Obata: We need to be... Kohei Obata & Hajime Kon: KON-BAT!!! The two clasp hands as partners, fighters, and brothers... but Obata still looks.. on edge...as we head back to ringside. Pond: Not sure what’s going on with Obata. The Big L: The Big L thinks it’s just pressure. Boy’s living under plenty of it! Minoru Asano: It’s true! I once was under so much pressure I blew out my back! Pond: What? Minoru Asano: For real! I was bedridden for months! Pond: I had no idea Minoru, I’m so sorry. Minoru Asano: Don’t be! IT WAS GREAT! I GOT BOOZE FED TO ME THROUGH A TUUUUUUUUUUBE! Pond: ...jealous. Just a bit. Now it’s time for a match that’s been brewing for a while now. Masato Kanemoto’s a hunter of evil. Eve calls herself the Perfect Evil. This was inevitable. But still surprising how this started. Minoru Asano: Just walked up and busted her nose up! She couldn’t wrestle for, what was it, a month? Pond: About that. And it didn’t go over well with Eve, who’s been waiting for this chance just as much as Masato has. Now we’ll see who wins between good and evil. Or good and also good. Or bad that looks good and good that looks bad. I dunno, I’m drunk. The Big L: It’s endearing. Let’s get to it. David Zinkus: The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first! “Our Father, which art in heaven Hallowed be thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven And forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us...” As this concludes and the opening sounds of “The Lord’s Prayer” by E Nomine begins to play through the arena, the crowd begins to boo as, on the stage, the Hunter appears. Masato Kanemoto stands at the top of the stage, head bowed, waiting. "IN NOMINE PATRIS ET FILII ET SPIRITUS SANCTI!" This most holy of shouts not only kicks the song off proper, as the chanting of the song kicks in fully, it also sets Kanemoto off, his head snapping up to look forward as he begins to march down the ramp, sheathed sword clutched in his hand. David Zinkus: From the Hunting Grounds, weighing in at 190lbs...he is MASATO KANEMOTOOOOO! Kanemoto steps up the ring steps and quickly enters the ring, moving to the center of the ring. He unsheathes his sword and holds it up to the light, staring up at it as the camera catches his lips moving in some prayer. And then, with an “Amen!” he flips the blade in his hand and sheathes it, before gingerly handing it off to a waiting attendant for safe keeping. The Big L: There’s only one word for this guy, and it’s intense. Now The Big L doesn’t think much of his “hunting evil” thing or his busting up innocent ladies’ noses, but he also can’t deny that the kid’s got talent. Pond: He’s very well-trained, I’ll give him that. Minoru Asano: I bet he could open a bottle by cutting it open! And leaving it fit to drink from, not like when I try it and end up losing a finger! David Zinkus: And his opponent… "I've got this burning like my veins are filled with nothing but gasoline... And with a spark it's gonna be the biggest fire they've ever seen!" At this, "Light Up The Night" by The Protomen kicks in mid-song, bringing out The Perfect Evil, Eve. She stands on the stage, clapping along with the music, mouthing along, getting the crowd going. As it builds to the main line, she holds one finger up as the lights begin to dim, getting them ready for the moment, the crowd building along with her. "We can light up the night!" The lights explode back on, fireworks along the stage going off as Eve sets off on a run down the ring, visibly mouthing along with the song even as she slides under the ropes to enter the ring. Eve pops up to her feet, coming to face the camera. She raises an arm, to the crowd watching live and at home, mouthing along with the song to them. "Maybe you and I... We can still make it right. Maybe we can bring back the light..." The song fades at this, Eve flashing a smile before moving to her corner, waiting for the action to start. Pond: Eve’s been on a long road to redemption. And, honestly, I buy it, as I think many here now do. There’s just a few stragglers she has left to convince. Like Masato. The Big L: Even when she was with Daisuke and HATE, the Big L could see her talent. She has some crazy skills for someone who’s so young looking. Big L’s just happy she’s on the right side now. Pond: As am I. Though, uh...didn’t David forget to do something? The Big L: The Big L thought it was impolite to point it out. In the ring Masato raises an eyebrow at the lack of introduction given by Zinkus, as Eve quickly nods to David, who brings his microphone up. David Zinkus: There’s been a small change requested, that I will be keeping with going forward. Pond: What? David clears his throat before moving back into his “announcer” voice. David Zinkus: From Northern California, weighing in at 140lbs...she is the Perfect Evil! EVELYN! KULLERRRRRR! Most of the crowd, and Masato himself, seem surprised at this, as Eve..or Evelyn, just seems a bit embarrassed. Pond: Well then. I didn’t see that coming, but I understand. Kanemoto made a big deal about Eve’s name, and since Eve is related to Dr. Kuller...apparently. I guess she decided a new one fit her new self? Minoru Asano: DRINK TO THE NEW NAME! Evelyn still seems uncertain, until from the crowd comes a “KULL-ER, KULL-ER” chant, that makes her break out into a grin. Masato continues to look uncertain now, as the bell rings. THE HUNT'S CONCLUSION
EVE EVELYN KULLER vs. MASATO KANEMOTO The newly named Evelyn Kuller had a huge task ahead of her tonight in the form of the Righteous Warrior Masato Kanemoto. The two have seemed to find themselves on a collision course ever since Kanemoto broke Eve’s nose with his sword in a showdown backstage. The two started off showing the world how evenly matched they were, and Eve surprised Masato with a few tricks and all within the rules! There were clean breaks and several moves within the rules, and as Eve tried to even use a hit and run style offense, Masato finally found himself from mildly irritated to incredibly agitated. Flinging her toward the ropes as she charged in, Masato caught her and nailed a massive running boot that seemed to turn Eve inside out! Masato wasn’t afraid to capitalize at this point, starting to slam repeated knees into Eve’s face and midsection, the both of them doing heavy damage to Kuller. He looked to be attempting to break open her nose again, but the referee forced him away, and before he could go back and charge at Kuller, she came out of nowhere with a high impact spear! She quickly grabbed Masato...TRUE NORTH! Her own move with a name she shares with Carey Caldwell, and Evelyn is back on track! Masato refuses to say die though, and he gets up, only to be met with a huge springboard kick! And then some kicks to the chest! And then a massive Kenka kick to the face! Kanemoto is down and Eve tries to go for the Adverse Effects….BUT ONLY GETS A TWO! EVE CANNOT BELIEVE IT! She gets up and after a punch to the stomach from Masato...FINAL LIGHT! The two of them start to brawl, rolling around the ring, only for the referee to pull them apart! Eve tries to recover, but Masato gets up first and comes charging toward her, only for her to duck his attack and grab him...SHEER HEART ATTACK! SHE HOOKS THE LEG….THREE! EVELYN KULLER PICKS UP A HUGE VICTORY! The crowd erupted for Eve’s victory, with her responding to their adoration by smiling and waving to them, the crowd getting even louder before she turns to face the fallen Kanemoto. With her point proven, Eve offers her hand out to Masato, congratulating him on a job well done...only for him to spit at her feet and walk off angrily. Kanemoto’s exit brings a chorus of boos replaced by gradual cheers as Evelyn Kuller remains in the ring to celebrate her victory. WINNER: EVELYN KULLER The Big L: The Big L just saw one hell of a fight...and The Big L now also believes the “Sheer Heart Attack” may be one of the deadliest moves in pro wrestling today. Pond: Good for Evelyn. Huge victory for her tonight. Minoru Asano: I will drink to that, friends.

Kaiden Hawke, a buttoned-down black dress shirt covering his upper half while his arms crossed over his chest, leaned against the wall of the hallway backstage. He watched everyone who crossed his path - Issac Solo, Gunnar Stahl, and EXPLOSIVO each walking in different directions with a clear goal in their sights. The perpetual onlooker, Kaiden smirked at the sight. Kaiden Hawke: Isn't it interesting how everyone has someplace to be? And they all need help getting there, whether they admit it or not. They remain ever ignorant of the world around them, indifferent to the people who fly passed them like plastic bags in the wind. The mysterious man's neck stretched upward slightly, rising his nose at the entire thought of it. Kaiden Hawke: Once you pay attention to people's wants, people's needs, you start to get a feel for what they're all about. You start to peel the skin of their inner mind, start to comprehend what they'll do next on any given night given enough details. And the people of (R)evo are no different. His head relaxed, looking straight into the camera once again. Kaiden Hawke: You start to see patterns emerge, clear cut methods to their perceived 'madness'. Random acts of violence and indecency look to be strategic plays on a football field, a game of chess right there to see. Sometimes it's brutally unplanned, a spur of the moment assault on logic that can ruin the pattern, but ultimately, you can catch some semblance of tattered hints carried through their previous Shakespearean endeavors, their body language, the things they say, the actions they take all leading up to the inevitable. His hands plopped into his pockets, his head tilting quickly for only a second, a brief smile across his features. Kaiden Hawke: (Я) To The Core II. It's the grand finale, the brilliant spectacle we've all been waiting for. It's also inevitable, we all saw this coming. They've been advertising it for weeks on end, and it's a night we've all been waiting for. The people of (R)evo make their intentions oh so clear this time of year, and it makes it all the more easy to watch in anticipation while the rest of the roster works themselves to the bone to make sure their needs get met. And me? His tone changed, his facial expression much more intense. Kaiden Hawke: I've spent too much time watching. It's ought time I make sure the name Kaiden Hawke shan't soon be forgotten. He rises an e-cigarette to his dry lips and puffs the vapor towards the camera, his short and sweet message plain and simple, gone without a trace before the vapor could dissipate into the cold surrounding air. Just as soon as he arrived, he left the conscious of everyone who saw him, their minds centered on whatever would happen next. Pond: ...Somebody certainly has a high opinion of himself. The Big L: Let this be known, The Big L does not condone smoking of any kind although The Big L also respects the decision of those who do. Minoru Asano: I agree, friend. The concept of smoke is not pleasing. THIS IS WHY I DRINK INSTEAD! Pond: Anyways, we’ve got a big match coming up now between Elizabeth Lannister and Sydney Christensen that is about to go down. Minoru Asano: A lot of bragging rights on the line… The Big L: And from what The Big L understands, this talented ladies do not like one another very much either... Before the two can start the match, they're interrupted by the sounds "Zer0space" by The Kidneythieves! The crowd cheers as Darrin Stearns emerges from his office, looking more well dressed than he normally is for his job, and the crowd applauds as it's clear he has a microphone. Darrin Stearns: You know...I've been doing some thinking. The two of you needed a great opportunity and grand prize for this little rivalry you've both built up...so I came up with something. Tonight's winner will...well, they'll be up 1-0 in a best of three series! The two of you will compete in this series, and the winner will receive a future RW World Title shot! I don't know if it'll be at The Autumn Effect, I don't know if it will be after, but good luck to you both! ELIZABETH LANNISTER vs. SYDNEY CHRISTENSEN This was it. The confrontation between Sydney Christensen and Elizabeth Lannister was finally upon us! Syd was prepared to take the challenge head on, clad in her new ALPHA-16 hockey jersey (now available in the merch shop!), and Elizabeth had arrived with the RW Tag Team Champions in tow. Syd and Elizabeth started to square off, but Elizabeth was doing her best to control the pace of the match. With the knowledge that Darrin Stearns had upped the ante by declaring the winner would receive a future RW World Title match, both knew they had a lot to take care of in this match, especially as it both wanted to reign over RW. Though Elizabeth tried to play head games by slowing things down and avoiding an actual lock up, Sydney finally had enough of it and delivered a massive lariat that sent Lannister down screaming in agony! The North Star had finally delivered a brutal attack that gave her the opening to take the match in the direction she wanted, starting to bring down Elizabeth with rights, lefts, and a huge delayed suplex that sent the crowd into a frenzy as Syd held up Elizabeth for close to fifteen seconds! Syd tried to go for a cover, but a sneaky Damon threw Elizabeth's leg on the ropes. It was at that point that Syd knew the problems she was going to face in this match. Despite the antagonistic attitude that had come from Elizabeth's cohorts, she had to keep her head in the game, but the distraction was long enough for Elizabeth to take advantage of the match, delivering a wicked shot to the back of the head to take control of the match. From that point, Elizabeth did her best to show off, only earning the crowd's ire, and when she wasn't showing off, she was getting the attention of the referee, leading to Damon and Sue getting involved. And then the turning point came. After dropping Syd with the Lion's Roar, Lannister went for the pin, only for Damon to knock off Syd's foot from the ropes when she tried to get a foot on the rope...BUT THE REFEREE CAUGHT HIM! The ref realized the blatant advantage Damon and Sue tried to give Elizabeth, tossing them from ringside! Damon and Sue protested to no avail, Elizabeth starting to get angry as not only did she not want to see them leave! Toss that in with a "LET'S GO SYD-NEY!" chant erupting through the crowd and something happened: Elizabeth froze. Focusing on the fans and the chant, she began to scream at them, demanding they stop this moment and cheer for her, because she was the Queen! It was a total meltdown from Lannister, who couldn't focus...giving Sydney enough chance to get back in the game! Lannister tried to get over to Sydney to pick her up and attack her, but Syd grabbed her and applied the ALPHA-16.......FOR LANNISTER TO TAP OUT! SYDNEY TAKES A 1-0 LEAD IN THE BEST OF THREE, AND THE ACE OF (R)EVOLUTION HAS THE MOMENTUM! WINNER: SYDNEY CHRISTENSEN The Big L: What a match! Pond: Lannister took her eyes off the ball for a moment and Sydney capitalized with the ALPHA-16 for the victory! Minoru Asano: Sydney is a good friend. I drink to her victory! Pond: At the same time, we’ve got word that one of our people are with the (R)Evolution Wrestling World champion backstage, so let’s send the cameras back there.[/b][/b]

We go backstage once more, and pacing around with Siobhan Mahoney trying to calm him down before Betsy Granger approaches the pair. Betsy Granger: Carey...toni-- The World Champ just stops her, reaching his hand out and putting it up. Carey Caldwell: I'm gonna do some screaming now, Betsy. Ain't your fault, I just got a lot I need to get off my chest before I go out there. Betsy nods quietly and hands him the microphone before the two friends stare down, Carey letting Betsy give him a small hug before she steps aside. Carey Caldwell: I'm not a perfect human being. Never have been. And my relationship with my old man ain't ever been perfect. The fact is, blood is blood, and that's why I stand here with Irish...and why when I go out there tonight, I stand with my boy Tommy one last time! And even if my old man and I brawled and cussed one another out, I know... Carey stops and points his finger up to the sky. Carey Caldwell: ...I know he's looking out for me. NoVaK, you've made a mockery of my old man, you've made a mockery out of me, and you've tried to get into my head...and you know, maybe you were in there for a bit. Maybe, for that brief moment, Matthew Novak and Carey Caldwell were in each other's heads and we knew what the other one really was. You know me and you know where my head's at. And I know you, Matthew. And I know you're scared. See, you can't fool me, NoVaK. You can't fool me that the old spirit inside is gone. See, I started to figure out a lot about myself lately thanks to you...and maybe that it's not that I'm dead inside...I just didn't know how to let myself live. And that changes tonight, NoVaK...BECAUSE I AM GOING TO BEAT YOU ALL AROUND THE DOJO AND KEEP THIS WORLD TITLE! Carey rips the (R)Evolution Wrestling World Title from Siobhan's shoulder and he stares down the camera, long hair and beard seen up close as he looks on at the camera. Carey Caldwell: I said you were gonna have to kill me to beat me...and you can't kill me, NoVaK. You can't stop me. I am the Black Hole Sun. The Child of Light. AND YOU CAN EXPECT... Carey looks on at Siobhan, nodding as she places a hand behind Carey's neck, smiling as she brings their heads together to touch foreheads before she looks to the camera, fire in her eyes. Siobhan Mahoney: ...TO GET WRECKED. Let's get 'em, Rebel. She pats Carey on the shoulder, and the two walk off as we head back to ringside. Pond: Yup, our World champ is ready to go to war. The Big L: And The Big L believes NoVaK’s candy ass is about to ripped a new one tonight. Minoru Asano: Ripped a new one? Did somebody fart? You can’t fart before shots, friends! Pond: Okay, moving on! We’ve got an Orange County championship match incoming and this one has gotten personal lately...but it all comes to a clash here and now! The lights dim in the entire dojo, before… EVERY DAY IS A NEW DREAM! The lights around the arena light up through the smoke as “Eternity” by Gemini Syndrome starts, the crowd turning to the balcony of the steps to see who’s coming! We take for granted all the beauty in our lives It’s not supposed to be that way With all the torment and the struggle and strife It’s up to us to see the light of day! The lights burst up in unison as the crowd sees in a long hooded jacket that goes down to the ankles of the challenger for tonight, “The Next Impact” Caleb Storm! The crowd explodes as Caleb slowly starts to make his way down from the balcony while taking a small shuffle step toward the steps, his jacket zipped up showing only the claret and blue colors mixed in with the black tonight, along with his “#STUDLIFE” arm sleeve on his right arm. Slapping a few hands on his way down the stairs, Caleb starts to slap hands with fans showing off band new gloved hands that feature his logo on the palms. Doing a lap around the ring to shake hands with fans, Caleb finally leaps up onto the apron to step into the ring as he pulls down his hood. Going to a corner after stepping into the ring, Caleb unzips the hoodie, extending his arms out to cross his hands so the gloves put together his logo before he steps off the corner, twisting as he leaps to face the interior of the ring while he waits for his opponent. Pond: Caleb Storm is coming out clearly displaying the inspiration for two wrestlers that have helped him reach this point, Jonathan Collins and Christian Kane. Minoru Asano: If he pulls this off, tonight we’ll drink to the birth of a new star! The Big L: This kid has been nothing short of impressive since his arrival a year ago, and he’s got an opportunity now to pull off a career defining win! The Big L thinks there’s huge potential for this kid tonight! Pond: Here comes the champion though! The lights in the arena dim as the Imagine Dragons remix of "Rumble and Sway" by Jamie N Commons starts… One look, twice sold, three, four oh the way she looks at me Held up, let down, she sings me silent melodies Hair whipped, tight lipped, I’ve been calling out for you cold sweat, once met, can’t stand the way she looks at me
Don’t you tell me no truths, I want all of your lies Don’t you tell me no truths, just all of your lies Don’t you tell me no truths, I want all of your lies I’m wailing, so give me all of your lies Give me all of your lies Give me all of your lies Give me all of your lies... And as soon as the chorus ends...the lights start flashing around the entrance way, and the red carpet has been rolled out for the arrival of "The Magnificent" Venus! Strutting out with shades over her face and a designer jacket covering her upper body, she's accompanied by Scott Carlile, who happens to be on his cell phone, yelling for people to do their job when it comes to accommodating the young woman. Without hesitation, she brushes past her manager and struts down the aisle with a sway in her hips as she smirks, ignoring everyone else around her, all before making it to the ring. One look, twice bold, three, four, I’m on my knees for her Held up, let down, she sings me perfect harmonies She fakes heart breaks, I'd take just a part of you Those eyes, sweet lies, I’ve been drowning out for you... Without hesitation, she steps into the ring and takes her time, showing off a little for the men in the crowd before stepping in and instantly taking a spot on the top turnbuckle in her corner, taking a deep breath and stretching her legs out along the ropes as she waits patiently for the match to begin. Pond: And there’s our Orange County Champion! Minoru Asano: We really should toast to her success if she wasn’t such a horrible person! The Big L: The Big L thinks that as much that we give her credit for being lucky, Venus is also crafty. She’s proven to be a tough competitor and an incredible submission expert! Pond: Let’s go to the ring for this Orange County Title match! We go back to the ring, where David Zinkus stands in the middle of the ring. David Zinkus: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 60-minute time limit, and is for the (R)Evolution Wrestling Orange County Championship! Introducing first, the challenger! He is from New Glarus, Wisconsin, weighing in at 208 pounds...HE IS THE NEXT IMPACT, CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALEBBBBBB STORRRRRRRRM! Caleb shakes off his jacket, raising his covered arm to the sky as some claret and blue streamers have been tossed into the ring for him! Security tries to gather up all the streamers as Caleb waits, all before Zinkus goes to his next introduction. David Zinkus: And his opponent...she is the reigning and defending Orange County Champion...from Los Angeles, California...SHE IS THE SUPERMODEL SUBMISSION STAR...VENUSSSSSS! ORANGE COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH VENUS (r)W Orange County Champion) vs. CALEB STORM The crowd jeers and she dismisses them as she raises her arms and the Orange County Title, a few streamers being tossed for her as well. The two begin to meet in the middle of the ring as Venus and Caleb start to trade words back and forth before the bell rings and they’re on the way to begin! The two start to circle around before locking up, and the crowd is cheering as they’re set to go to battle! Caleb gets the leverage at first, starting to bend her back, making her arch her back as she pushes forward, getting on her tip toes. Caleb leaps up to try to bring her back down, but she tenses up to catch his knees, leaving Caleb to lean back and try to do a modified monkey flip, but Venus flips over and lands to her feet! She charges toward Caleb, who rolls under her attack, Caleb running to the opposite ropes to leap up to the middle one to attempt a springboard kick, but Venus backflips away from his attempt, trying to pick his ankle once his feet touch the canvas again, but Caleb leaps up from the swipe and tries to flip over her to catch her with a cradle, but she scurries away, and the crowd cheers as it seems we're at an early standstill! Of course, someone from Section B has to shout out a traditional cheer for something like this... "WRESTLING!" The crowd cheers and applauds, leaving Caleb to lean against a corner and shrug innocently as Venus looks out at the crowd annoyed that they would get so loud to break her concentration. Caleb looks out at her before coming back to meet her in the center of the ring once more, prepared to lock up again. Again, the two stars meet with a collar-elbow tie up, Venus starting to try to move and leverage Caleb back into a corner, managing to do so. As she slowly backs away, she takes a slap at his face, leaving the crowd to ooh and ahh at her audacity. Caleb rubs his cheek for a moment before bursting out of the corner with a huge right hand, nailing her in the face as he backs her up to the ropes while on the offensive, whipping her to the ropes, before she reverses! Caleb dives over and rolls as she tries to go low, leading him to roll back to his feet and hit the ropes again, flipping forward and bouncing off to go for an early Chain Lightning, but Venus grabs him by the waist and tries to start reeling him back for a back suplex, but Caleb rolls over and lands on his feet, leaping up and grabbing her to drop her with a huge neckbreaker! The crowd is on their feet as Venus starts to roll out of the ring to slow the match down and catch a breather, but... Pond: The Next Impact is taking flight! Caleb runs towards Venus and looks to leap over the ropes, but Venus ducks in time, Caleb managing to stop himself by using his arms to hook the ropes until she gets up, smirking that she outsmarted him with her back to him...ONLY FOR CALEB TO LEAP UP...ARABIAN MOONSAULT SPRINGBOARDING OFF THE ROPES AND ONTO THE ORANGE COUNTY CHAMPION! Caleb pumps his fists as he gets up, grinning immensely as he throws Venus back into the ring near one of the corners before he gets up onto the apron and grabs the rope to springboard in, only for him to grab the opposite rope in the corner while leaping in before he uses all his strength to do a headstand on the top turnbuckle...TWISTING ON THE DESCENT FOR AN ELBOW DROP! Caleb rolls away from Venus and gets to one knee as he outstretches his arms and the crowd applauds him for his showmanship! Pond: Caleb Storm is unleashing a whole new bag of tricks tonight on Venus! Minoru Asano: The trip to Japan must have helped him learn a few new things, friend! The Big L: People knew that Caleb was agile going into this match, but he's starting to show just how he can not just use his own offense to his advantage, but the ring! Making the ring his weapon adds a whole new weapon to his arsenal! Caleb slowly comes over to Venus before he cinches her in an armbar while he holds the arm tight before he looks to start wrapping the arm in place as he goes for the ECHO-16, but Venus starts to roll him up and we've got our first cover! One! Two! TH---KICKOUT! Caleb seems surprised and Venus comes charging in, but he grabs for a huge arm drag. She lands on her feet and Caleb comes storming in...BUT SHE LANDS A MASSIVE SUPERKICK THAT FLOORS HIM TO A DEAD STOP! Caleb hits the mat and Venus quickly grabs his ankle and starts to go for an ankle lock, wringing his ankle as she drops to the mat while he writhes in pain. The champ starts screaming at Caleb to tap out, leaving him to try to pull himself to the ropes...and he does! The referee begins to start his five count, but Venus breaks at four, before she grabs both his ankles and pulls him up, dropping him with a rope assisted sit out powerbomb! Venus dusts off her hands and smirks as she tries to go for another pin! One! TWO! TH--KICKOUT! Caleb kicks out, and Venus instantly tries to start applying a crossface to get that portion of The Fame Monster! Caleb works to power out of it, and he keeps himself holding the ropes to get the ref to back Venus away. The Big L: That’s great ring awareness from Storm! He knew where he was, and he was able to get some time to recover. Pond: I don’t Venus will let him recover for long! Venus instantly comes charging in with a knee to the gut when he gets to a vertical base, quickly using her advantage to climb up and put him in a rope hung Boston crab, The Venus Fly Trap! Caleb is screaming, and the ref counts to force Venus to break the hold, and she keeps Caleb caught in the ropes as she starts to knee him in the back before letting him hit the mat. Venus steps back in before she grabs Caleb and starts to lift him...SLINGSHOT SUPLEX! She sneers down at Caleb before grabbing his arm...AND SHE LOCKS HIM IN HIS ECHO-16! THE SUPERMODEL SUBMISSION STARLET IS USING CALEB’S OWN SUBMISSION HOLD ON HIM! Pond: She’s adding insult to injury! The Big L: It’s one of the submissions everyone is taught in the (R)Evolution Dojo, and The Big L wonders if anyone’s been taught a counter! Caleb tries to reach for the ropes, but Venus starts to elbow at Caleb’s face, keeping him locked in the move as he still tries to get himself to the ropes, all before she breaks the move and quickly lifts him to get him in a rear waistlock. She leaps for the backcracke--CALEB HOLDS THE ROPES! He reaches for them and grabs them, stopping her from trying the Fame Monster again, and as she hits the mat, she rolls back before she comes charging in...SUPERKICK FROM CALEB, AND NOW SHE’S FLOORED! Caleb quickly grabs the ropes and springboards off with a quebr--SHE PUTS HER KNEES UP, and she tries to grab him for a small packa---he rolls through and grabs her...SMALL PACKAGE DRIVER! The two are down and out, and the referee is looking down at them as the crowd goes crazy for that sequence! Minoru Asano: THIS IS GOING DOWN SMOOTH LIKE A GOOD BRANDY! Pond: These two are leaving it all out here tonight for that Orange County Title! The Big L: These two want this in the worst way and it’s never been more obvious! The crowd watches as both Venus and Caleb slowly get to their feet, and Venus has that fire in her eyes, while Caleb watches as she comes charging in, but Caleb sidesteps and pushes her toward the corner, leaving her to hit turnbuckles! Caleb comes charging in, stepping up and nailing a huge kick as he backflips off her chest area before he lands and charges in again to hit a climbing shining wizard! Venus stumbles out as Caleb hits the ropes before...LEG LARIAT! Caleb hits the mat and starts to slam his hands against the mat to get the crowd behind him before he starts going toward the ropes again, bouncing off as he charges Venus...THUNDERBOLT! He goes for the cover! ONE! TWO! TH--VENUS WITH A FOOT ON THE ROPES! AND THE CROWD IS CHANTING! THIS IS AWE-SOME! *CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP* THIS IS AWE-SOME! *CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP* Caleb shakes his head in frustration, starting to get up on his feet as he starts to pick up Venus, looking to get her on his shoulders as he goes for the SuperstaRK--she floats over and rolls him up, grabbing his tights… ONE! TWO! THR--CALEB ROLLS IT INTO A CRADLE OF HIS OWN! ONE! TWO! TH--VENUS REVERSES! ONE! TWO! TH--CALEB BREAKS OUT AND RUNS TOWARDS THE ROPES! CHA--SHE LOCKS HIM IN A FULL NELSON...FULL NELSON FACEBUSTER! SHE ROLLS CALEB OVER AND QUICKLY WRAPS HIS LEGS IN A GRAPEVINE! IT’S THE DEMILO LOCK! THAT’S HER BREAD AND BUTTER SUBMISSION HOLD! SHE PULLS BACK AND CALEB IS STUCK! Pond: Folks, Caleb Storm gave it all he could! Now that Venus has that locked in, she looks almost sure to retain! The Big L: Don’t count him out, look at Caleb! Caleb, sure enough, is straining to force some momentum to swing forward and back! Forward and back! Forward….AND HE GETS HIMSELF CAUGHT IN THE ROPES! VENUS HAS TO BREAK THE HOLD AND AS SHE DOES AT FOUR, SHE’S OUTRAGED! She’s screaming at the referee how she didn’t check Caleb soon enough for tapping out, but she finally brushes him off in favor to grab Caleb! She starts to try to go back for the DeMilo Lock….BUT CALEB GRABS HER FOR A CRADLE AND ROLLS THROUGH! HE’S GOT HER ON HIS SHOULDERS! SUPERSTAR-KO! HE HOOKS THE LEG! ONE! TWO! THREE! “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy starts, and the crowd has blown the roof off the Dojo! David Zinkus: Here is your winner, AND THE NEW ORANGE COUNTY CHAMPION...CALEB STORM! The referee hands Caleb the title as he gets to his knees, a moment of awe and respect at it while he looks at the title before he holds it tight in his hands and kisses it! Caleb bursts up to hold the title in the air for the world to see, and it’s clear that he’s sobbing in happiness over what happened, leaving the world to take in this moment for him. Caleb slides out of the ring and walks over to an older man and woman in the front row, wrapping his arms around them, the trio joined by a familiar face to regular viewers of EXODUS and RW programming, tech Ginny Gerrard. Pond: That’s his mother and father, along with his wife! His mom and dad came all the way from their hometown in Wisconsin to see this for Caleb, and he delivered! Caleb Storm, a year after his debut, has finally made his Moment of Impact! Minoru Asano: These are moments we toast in celebration for, friends! I drink a lot, but this one’s special! Caleb Storm has delivered! Caleb turns his attention to Ginny, smiling as he and her touch foreheads. Without a second thought, Caleb puts the OC Title on Ginny’s shoulder and wraps his arms around her, hoisting her up as the crowd watches him carry her on his shoulder while she holds his prize. Meanwhile, Venus remains in the ring after coming to, sitting up and looking absolutely stunned. Looking back in the ring, Caleb puts down Ginny before he goes back into the ring, looking at the former champion...and the two trade a few words before Caleb extends his hand. Venus just looks at him for a moment, angry and scowling. Pond: She’s not gonna do it, she’s pissed. The Big L: But those two share someone important, and that may transcend this. Indeed Venus and Caleb trade a few more words, but after a moment, she reaches out and shakes his hand, the two hugging as Caleb raises her hand to salute her! Venus slowly walks off as Caleb invites Ginny into the ring, and the crowd cheers as Caleb hugs his wife one more time before taking the title and climbing a corner, holding it above his head, tears in his eyes. WINNER (AND *NEW* (R)W ORANGE COUNTY CHAMPION): CALEB STORM

Minoru Asano: THIS IS SUCH A HAPPY MOMENT, FRIENDS! DRINKS! DRINKS FOR EVERYONE! The Big L: You know what? The Big L will take a cold one to salute this match. Pond: Make mine stiff, sorta flexible and extremely fruity, Minoru. Just the way I like them. And while at it, folks, this next match is going to help us determine the number one contenders for the (R)W World Tag Team championshi- oh you’ve got to be kidding me. The crowd boos loudly as the current World Tag Team champs saunter down the ramp and stop by the announcers’ table, telling the current announce team to get their asses out, a few fighting words being exchanged on both sides before cooler heads - surprisingly, Minoru! - getting the announce team to step aside and join Zinkus near the timekeeper’s area as Damon and Sue take their seats, placing on the deserted headsets, placing their feet on the table and looking on towards the ring. Damon Alexander: Ladies and gentlemen, do not adjust your TV sets, for it is your (R)Evolution Wrestling World Tag Team champions who will fearlessly call the action in this match as we watch a bunch of losers compete for the right to be lesser loser...well, until they lose to us anyway. Sue: Way I see it partner, that’s about the only time each of these teams will be televised in a serious manner. Let’s get to it and let the fools get to the fighting...and oh, would you look at that? They’ve already filed in like a bunch of good soldiers after the fearless leaders of their tag division. Damon Alexander: What a nice thing of them to do. Sue: What a great thing indeed. 6-TEAM ELIMINATION MATCH FOR THE NUMBER 1 CONTENDERSHIP TO THE TAG TEAM TITLES DAMAGE INC. vs. IMPERIUM vs. KON-BAT vs. LOS FANTASMAS (HELL) vs. THE NAKED GUNS vs. VIOLENCE KX The bell rings and, predictably, VIOLENCE turned the match into immediate chaos, by charging at everyone at once. While initially everyone just threw blows back at the deathmatch junkies, in no time at all everyone has started to fight each other. Damage Inc brawls with KON-BAT, Los Fantasmas begin a high flying array against the Naked Guns, and the Imperium brawls with VIOLENCE. The referee tries to get control, but has to settle for waiting for the brawls to eject enough teams for this to start. Fantasmas and the Guns manage to deposit each other over the top ropes, while Damage Inc dual clothesline Kon and Obata out. Meanwhile, again predictably, Kojima managed to produce a light tube, which he swung at the head of Jolyne Dysart, busy punching up Murayama. Fortunately Stacey-X did notice this, and shoved Jolyne out of the way, and out of the ring, following her charge immediately. This left Damage Inc and VIOLENCE in the ring to start things off, as the other teams (unhappily) climbed onto the apron to wait. It went well. VIOLENCE charged both Shizuka and Yoshiko, and they crashed into two solid walls of meat. Both women were unamused, and began to throw punches at the hard heads of the violent kids, though that didn’t stop Hiro and Hideki from fighting back instead of something reasonable like retreating. They were rewarded for this refusal to back down in the face of overwhelming odds by Shizuka and Yoshiko grabbing one head each, and slamming their heads into each other. With the two sufficiently stunned, this allowed Shizuka and Yoshiko to grab Hiro and lift him up, hitting him with the Death From Above, Shizuka pinning after to cause the first elimination! ELIMINATED: VIOLENCE LWSue: What a shock. Damon Alexander: What a surprise. Sue: What a shame. Damon Alexander: What a laugh! Yoshiko, finally, heads to a corner and takes her spot, leaving Shizuka to take on the first team to manage to get in. Considering it was a speed test, it’s no surprise it was Jared Ramsey who first got in. Then, suddenly, he realized who he had just gotten in against. But, credit to him, no fear seemed to come to him, as he instead tried to make the best of it. He started to slowly approach Shizuka, who got into a ready stance..and the moment she did he suddenly went into turbo, speeding at her and past her, springing up onto the ropes and off onto her with a crossbody, taking her down for a 1 count! Jared tried to keep it up with his speed and agility, but unfortunately it didn’t take long for Shizuka to get her hands on him, and quickly take him down. She worked him over hard, really bringing the pain to him, hitting him hard in the ribs. And she continued to do so until suddenly something tiny flipped over her, grabbing her head and stunnering her as she came down. Angelina Fantastica seems intent on helping her bae no matter what, and quickly hops onto the ropes to do that. And that’s when Yoshiko comes rushing down the apron, nailing her with a blow to the face that sends her tottering off onto the ring floor outside. Jared quickly scrambles over to the ropes, gaping out at his hurting girlfriend. Until he’s grabbed and spun around, facing Shizuka for the briefest moment before he’s kicked in the gut and hit with the Genocide, being pinned just after. ELIMINATED: THE NAKED GUNSDamon Alexander: Damn she really flew. Sue: I’d give it an 8. Damon Alexander: Really? That’s pretty high. Sue: It’s just kind to her that something with her is high up. Damon Alexander: Poor midgets. Next into the ring is the headstrong Jolyne Dysart, who immediately goes at Shizuka, throwing some hard rights into the big woman’s head. Hard rights that only have, probably, half their normal effect. But Jolyne seems to have a flash of brilliance, grabbing Shizuka’s hand as she reaches for her throat, and managing to whip her into the corner where Los Fantasmas and KON-BAT stand waiting. Ikiryo’s hand immediately shoots out, slapping Shizuka on the shoulder before leaping into the ring. Shizuka fumes but leaves, while Jolyne just grins and taps the side of her head because she’s sooo smart. Ikiryo immediately speeds up, ready to take her down, but Jolyne drops down, letting him hop over her and hit the ropes, Jolyne springing up and speed at him before smashing a knee into his gut as he turns. This starts off a speed contest that manages to get the crowd pretty interested, the two of them trading moves, Jolyne working her hard blows into it to rock Ikiryo more than once, while the strong style ghost manages to speedily take her down more than once. The crowd even cheers them a bit as they come apart at one point, despite their respective unpopularities with the crowd. Indeed Jolyne so understands how well this is showing her off that she actually allows Ikiryo to walk to his corner and tag in Calavera. This, though, was a mistake, as both of the ghost-based luchadores charge at Dysart as one, surprising the Harbinger with a double dropkick that took her down, Calavera immediately jumps, dropping a leg across Jolyne’s throat, while Ikiryo hops onto the ropes and off, hitting her with a springboard moonsault just as Calavera moves away from her. The two luchadores continue, despite the referee’s attempts to push Calavera away, to double team the young Dysart, until she managed to roll under a double clothesline attempt, leaping to her corner and tagging in Stacey-X! Stacey comes in with a head of steam, immediately clotheslining Calavera down, before grabbing Ikiryo by his mask and driving her knee into his gut, before just throwing him over the top rope and out of the ring! She goes to Jolyne and grabs her, pulling her to her feet, clearly telling her something as they both look at Calavera, who’s just getting to his feet. Stacey runs first, running past him and hitting the ropes, coming back just as Jolyne charges at him, Jolyne going high while Stacey goes low, hitting him with the Blue Falcon! Stacey quickly covers him, and the 3-count follows. ELIMINATED: LOS FANTASMASSue: The Mexican ghosts got eliminated. Damon Alexander: Oh no what a shame, I was so scared of facing them. Sue: Shakin’ in my boots. The two laugh. Hajime Kon is the first one in, and Stacey is ready. The two lock up and quickly Stacey tries to work her experience over Kon, and it’s pretty effective to start with, Stacey taking Kon down before beginning to work over an arm for a bit before he managed to grab the rope. When they got up, Kon threw a boot out and managed to nail Stacey, before setting in to show her his strength, throwing the smaller woman around a few times, even putting her down for a 2 count at one point. But, eventually, Kon listened to his team mate’s pleas, and tagged in Obata. As they did this, Stacey managed to make her way to her own corner, and tag in Jolyne. And thus, two wrestlers that are both supposed to be the future went at it. And it was a very impressive thing to watch. Both of them traded moves, Obata using his size advantage to work Jolyne over, while Jolyne surprised him with several hard blows he wasn’t expecting. Unfortunately, it ended all too quickly, as they worked their way too close to one corner, and Obata was suddenly struck in the back of the head by Yoshiko. This unique tag was counted, and Yoshiko quickly entered, grabbing a briefly stunned Obata by the back of the neck and rolling him out of the ring before setting into Jolyne. She tries to regain her composure and fight, but Yoshiko is brutal, hitting her with some STIFF shots upside the head that rocks her before grabbing her by the throat and chokeslamming her to the mat! Stacey immediately enters the ring, Twilight Rising! The pin, and the 3-count, follows. ELIMINATED: THE IMPERIUMDamon Alexander: They’re really good at protecting this place, huh? Sue: Impeccable. They both laugh again. And with that, we’re left with two teams. Damage Inc. and KON-BAT. Kon gets in the ring first, with Yoshiko, and it’s an immediate power fight. Both of them are heavier fighters, and they crash together so well. Both of them hit each other with hard blows before quickly moving into throwing each other around, both of these big hunks of meat making for great sounds being thrown onto the mat. This continued for a while, until Kon seemed to be building a head of steam, picking Yoshiko up for a big powerbomb, only for her to grab his head and, seemingly, dig her nails near his eyes, taking his sight away! He dropped Yoshiko, who quickly smashed her body into his, knocking him down and sending him rolling away. Rolling, luckily, to his corner, where Obata managed to slap his partner’s flailing limbs before entering the fight! Obata is more careful, instead trying to play to Yoshiko’s tiredness. And indeed she does seem tired after all the exertion from this match, and it gives Obata his chance. He ducks in and out, trying to trick her and confuse her, before suddenly grabbing her and managing to take her down! The prince of FIGHTING LOVE~! begins to work her arms, but Yoshiko surprises him by hitting him with a blow suddenly that knocks him off of her. She comes up first and, despite being tired, immediately gets a hold of him and makes him regret things. She throws him around and around, but it seems her tiredness is affecting her strength, as things that should have put Obata away don’t quite manage to, and this just makes her more tired. By the time Yoshiko becomes aware of this enough to want to tag out, Obata is ready. He surprises her with a rollup, but this is only a feint, as the moment she kicks out he springs up and hits the ropes! He comes back just as Yoshiko is sitting up and he hops up at her, for Genji Yamato’s own Diamond Blue...except not! Instead of a kick straight to her face, Obata veers slightly away from her, instead hitting her with a clothesline as he comes down! The crowd, and indeed even Kon, are surprised by this move they haven’t seen before, as Obata covers Yoshiko, with the 1, 2, 3 being counted, and our new number 1 contenders declared! ELIMINATED: DAMAGE INCDavid Zinkus: Here are your winners, and your NEW number 1 contenders to the (R)Evolution Wrestling tag team titles! Kohei Obata & Hajime Kon, KONNNNN-BAT! Damon Alexander: Really? Sue: Them? Damon Alexander: What a shame! They wasted all their time for this! Poor bastards. Sue: Ain’t gonna be a good time for them soon. In the ring Obata is clearly grinning from ear-to-ear, absolutely overjoyed by what the team has managed to accomplish. Kon approaches his team mate, clearly happy but also confused. He says something to Obata, but Obata clearly brushes it off, instead grabbing his partner’s hand and raising it to cheers from the RW faithful. And then their cheers die off. KON-BAT look over at the announcer’s table, where both Damon and Sue have climbed up onto the table. The two hold their belts up high, and KON-BAT look at them with hunger in their eyes. It was going to be a hell of a confrontation coming soon. On this sight, we fade off… WINNERS (AND NEW #1 CONTENDERS FOR THE (R)W TAG TEAM TITLES: KON-BAT The screen goes to black. After a moment or two of still silence, there's an explosion in the middle of the screen. As the smoke clears, LAZERADE! is written across the screen in block letters. Underneath, a small circle of white is located, and a chibi cartoon of Cassius Reed suddenly pops up into it, holding a cartoon bottle of LAZERADE! Chibi Cassius: Starring Cassius Reed, bitches! The screen crossfades to outside the (R)Evolution Dojo, earlier today. Cassius Reed stands before the camera, a little way behind him we can see the queue for entry for tonights show. Cassius Reed: What up, (R)Evo? Cassius is here at the Dojo, today, to answer the big questions! No, Cassius isn't here to ask who the best wrestler here is. Or who gunna win the (R)Evo Championship. Today Cassius is here to answer two big, simple questions. Are you drinking LAZERADE!? And if not? WHY NOT? Cassius turns, and starts heading to the crowd of people behind him. As he turns and starts walking, it becomes apparent that he has a shopping trolley with him, covered loosely with a tarpaulin. The camera catches up him, trotting alongside him, causing him to look sideways as he walks. Cassius Reed: Do you cats know, that LAZERADE! is the only sports drink brewed using the scientific principle of lazers? No other beverage cuts to the source of dehydration quite like LAZERADE! That's why this shit so refreshin'! By using science, we made you a better drink. How? BECAUSE SCIENCE, BITCHES! But don't believe me, just ask this cracker! The camera wildly swings around, to look straight at an attendee for the night's show, uncomfortably close to the lens. Random: Hey, aren't yo- The camera swings back round. Cassius Reed: See! And not only that! LAZERADE! makes yo' smart! And the smart guys who invented it have drunk it fo' years. Which makes them double smart! An' yo' know what those double smart cats have figured out?! That to refresh all those thirsty turkeys, LAZERADE! needs to appeal to everyone. An' yo' know how we do that? VARIETY OF FLAVOR! Arriving at the queue, Cassius whips the tarpaulin off the trolley, revealing a wealth of bottles of LAZERADE! Cassius Reed: And yo' know what? There's hundred of flavors in the LAZERADE! rainbow. He picks up a pair of random bottles. Cassius Reed: Strawberry! Cherry! He throws the first two bottles into the crowd, straight at Section B members Hannah LaCroix and Isabelle Harding respectively. Cassius Reed: For a south of the border taste? Lime! He swings his arm behind his back, tossing this bottle straight to Rena Gonzalez. Cassius Reed: Now I hear yo'. These are standard flavors. What about Bacon? He grabs a bottle, tossing it high where it is snatched out of the air by Patrick Carson. Cassius Reed: Pumpkin Spice? This bottle is eagerly snatched out of the air by Isla Carson. Cassius Reed: Not to mention promotional flavors! Cassius Crush! Gunnar Grape! These two bottles are grabbed by Noah Eichmann and Elijah Kishibe. Cassius Reed: Salty Shozo! The crowd separates, desperately avoiding that particular bottle. Cassius Reed: Damn, that cat can't even quench thirst right. Cassius turns back to the camera, LAZERADE! bottle in hand. He untwists the lid as he speaks. Cassius Reed: Damn, all this advertising thirsty work. Cassius upends the bottle, downing the entire contents in front of the camera. He holds up a hand to the camera as he gulps it down, before finishing with an exaggerated sigh of relief. He waits a moment, then looks at the camera, shocked. Cassius Reed: What yo' waiting for, get out and buy it, bitches! The camera hangs on Cassius' smiling face a moment, before fading to black. A small disclaimer at the bottle of the screen states " LAZERADE! endorses the spirit of Cassius Reed's word, if not the language used. Remember, winners stay hydrated!", before that also fades away. Pond: ...And thankfully, we’ve got our spots in the announcers’ table again after nearly getting them hijacked by those jackasses in Damon Alexander and Sue. The Big L: You know, The Big L would have had no problem implanting his big boot straight up both their asses. Minoru Asano: But Big friend, we cannot let you be put in harm’s way. We promise management. We honor promises much like we take shots whenever Damon and Sue are within the vicinity to put up with them. ...Oh, while we do said shots, our good friend Betsy is backstage and she has something for us. So camera friends, send us there! We come backstage after that laser-iffic interlude, to find Betsy Granger waiting patiently for something. Unfortunately, whatever that something is never comes, as she’s surprised by someone suddenly appearing to her side. Jolyne Dysart, fresh from her loss in the tag title number 1 contenders match. The Imperium’s youngest member does not, to put it politely, seem happy. Betsy Granger: ...hi. Are you okay? Jolyne Dysart: No. She shakes her head for emphasis. Jolyne Dysart: I am not. I am NOT okay with this setback. Stacey and I should be a number 1 contender right now! Betsy Granger: Well, I mean, you lost… Jolyne Dysart: I am aware! Betsy takes one step to the side, just in case, as Jolyne continues. Jolyne Dysart: But that doesn’t change the fact that that shouldn’t have happened! I’m the future of this business, I was chosen for this! My training is impeccable, as am I! I want everyone to remember that this is only a tiny setback. I’m going to show you all why I’m the Harbinger of the future! Betsy Granger: ...so you want to be the Ace? Jolyne sneers at this. Jolyne Dysart: Who do you think I am, Cobalt? I’m going to be MORE than the Ace. I’m going to be the pillar wrestling companies are built on! The most essential part! So don’t insult me by thinking my goals are so low, thank you. Betsy starts to reply, only for her to go silent as the light in the hallway suddenly goes out, causing everything to go dark. Jolyne Dysart: What the fu- And the voice of Jolyne is interrupted by the loud sound of metal crashing into flesh, and the sound of something dropping to the floor. The lights suddenly come back on, finding the camera pointing at the floor. On the floor lays Jolyne, eyes half-open in a daze, a small string of blood coming down her forehead. In the frame with her body is the steel chair that clearly hit her, and the hand clutching it. The camera pans up to find the man responsible. Anderson Cobalt. The self-proclaimed Ace continues to look down at the out of it Dysart, while Betsy tries to compose herself from the shock. Betsy Granger: ...Cobalt? He doesn’t reply, merely continuing to look at the woman who took two months away from his career. He doesn’t, however, seem angry. His expression is just cold. Betsy Granger: Cobalt? Cobalt! This time he finally looks up, his expression unchanging. Anderson Cobalt: Protivnik. Betsy Granger: I’m sorry? Anderson Cobalt: You’re using the wrong name. He leans in slightly. Anderson Cobalt: It’s Protivnik. Jason. Anderson. Protivnik. Betsy Granger: I...I see. I’m sorry. In that case, Jason...what is this? I mean, I know it’s revenge, but- Jason Anderson Protivnik: Wrong. Betsy blinks in confusion. Jason Anderson Protivnik: It’s not revenge. It’s righting the scales. He holds the chair up over the prone Jolyne and drops it, letting it smack her in the face, eliciting a tiny moan of pain from the woman. Jason Anderson Protivnik: Because that’s what a Harbinger does. He rights the scales to make way for the future. It’s a strange smile that comes to Jason Protivnik’s face now. Like he knows more than the people watching him. Jason Anderson Protivnik: And there’s plenty of things that need to be done to fix the balance. And with that, he turns to walk away. As he turns, we can see what’s on the back of his jacket. There on his back is a constellation, shining. Libra.

Steve Lenton: ...Well, The Big L definitely thinks that was something else. Minoru Asano: I am almost scared for Jolyne, friends. Pond: Well, sometimes? You live by the sword and you die by the sword...either way, it’s time folks. It’s our main event of the evening! After weeks of psychological warfare waged by the challenger, NoVaK finally gets his chance at the (R)Evolution Wrestling World Title when he meets Carey Caldwell. Minoru Asano: And his mind games are enough to make anyone drink! Steve Lenton: The time for mind games and threats are over. Carey Caldwell has to prove he hasn’t let NoVaK get into his head, and that time is right now! Pond: You said it, Big L...let’s hit the ring for our main event! Suddenly, the lights in the arena black out completely, the white noise of static flooding the speakers in a rather horrifying manner, when suddenly on RW's version of the EXOScreen... Suddenly, synthesizer and electronic noise comes through the speakers in place of the static as the picture never seems to get any clearer, the sounds of "Jacquard Causeway" by Boards of Canada kicking in as finally a single spotlight shows up at the entrance...in the form of a star. A familiar Danish accent is then heard as Steri steps out into the spotlight, a microphone in her hand. Steri: Please welcome...from the Superunknown....representing The Family....NoVaK...THE SUPERRRRRRNOVVVVAAAA! The same sample and sounds continue to the slow drum beat as NoVaK begins walking toward the entrance way with Steri following closely behind him. With a huge grin on the face of the Supernova it seems like the light follows him, small lights that look like stars lighting up over the ring, aisle, and entrance while he steps down, practically stalking something or someone on the way to the ring. As what seems to be the broken and hypnotic music track continues to play, the house lights start to flash in time with the drum beat, almost as if he's creating electrical feedback by being in the area. The Supernova starts to shiver in delight as he finally makes it into the ring, darkening the arena again, now making the "stars" burn brighter to the beat of the music instead of the house lights. This goes on as he looks out at the crowd, already booing him as he climbs the turnbuckle, spreading his arms wide whilst Steri makes her way to his corner. Pond: NoVaK has been quite in the head of Carey Caldwell lately, and if Carey isn’t careful, he might just walk out of tonight’s main event without his World Title. Minoru Asano: Rachel Lee Tatum claimed to help our friend Carey. May we toast if she’s right! Steve Lenton: You can’t understate a psychological advantage. If NoVaK has one, this match may be over before it begins. Caldwell’s got a big task ahead of him to balance that scale. As NoVaK and Steri wait around for the champ, the lights begin to dim. The crowd starts to get loud, knowing only one person can be coming out, before… “Well, you know, Doc, when something happens, it can leave a trace of itself behind. Say like, if someone burns toast. Well, maybe things that happen leave other kinds of traces behind. Not things that anyone can notice, but things that people who "shine" can see. Just like they can see things that haven't happened yet. Well, sometimes they can see things that happened a long time ago. I think a lot of things happened right here in this particular hotel over the years … and not all of 'em was good.” And then, the sound of rain as laughing and cackling come through the darkness as it seems like lightning is going off around the entrance! I see you looking at me Looking at me, so I ask Am I a psycho? Am I a psycho? Yeah I’m a psycho, I guess I’m a psycho… “Am I a Psycho?” by Tech N9ne, B.o.B., & Hopsin starts to play as the camera zooms up to the entrance of the new look of the (R)Evolution Dojo where a familiar body stands in matching NoVaK paint in his normal gear! The crowd erupts as David Zinkus is proud to announce him! David Zinkus: AND HIS OPPONENT! From San Diego, California...weighing in at 218 pounds...HE IS THE (R)EVOLUTION WRESTLING WORLD CHAMPION! HE IS THE SON OF DISASTER...THE LAST OF HIS KIND...CAREY CALDWELL! But Carey doesn’t move from his spot. Carey doesn’t even take the hood off his head. Instead Carey points at the stairway in the crowd, and up on the top level, there stands...CAREY CALDWELL?! Carey stands there, no face paint in a t-shirt that reads “I HOPE YOU SUFFER” as he slowly starts to make his way towards the stairs with Siobhan Mahoney and Tom Higashikata at his side. With the crowd reaching out for the World Champ, Carey starts to slap hands with a few people as he keeps the hood of his sleeveless hoodie underneath his War Machines kutte raised up and the bandana over his head as he and Siobhan make their way to the ring. Sliding into the ring, he goes to a corner and climbs to the middle turnbuckle before tapping the top turnbuckle with his fists before raising them to the air and holding the RW World Title high in the air! Carey finally steps down as he shrugs off his hoodie and vest before he removes the bandanna over his jaw to reveal face paint that is made up to look like jaw bone! Carey stays in his corner, eyes completely LOCKED on The Supernova as he lets the referee check him for foreign objects and anything else before the match begins! The two meet at the center of the ring, Carey already starting to talk as NoVaK just looks on with an evil smirk on his face. MAIN EVENT - (R)EVOLUTION WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH CAREY L. CALDWELL ((r)W CHAMPION) vs. NoVaK The two meet in the center of the ring, each of them trading verbal jabs right now as they wait for the bell to ring. Carey seems to be getting angrier as the bell rings and Carey begins to send fists into the face of the challenger! Carey starts to whip NoVaK to the ropes, but the challenger slides out of the ring and tries to slow the pace down, but Caldwell slides out of the ring and goes after NoVaK! Carey starts to hit The Supernova in the face before grabbing him by the hair and tossing him into the crowd! Carey starts to wave his arms up to get the crowd going, and he goes in and grabs NoVaK by the head to toss him back into the ring before getting in and covering! One! TWO! TH--Kickout! Carey seems frustrated already, but he grabs the challenger and picks him up, whipping him to the ropes, picking him up and looking for a spinebuster, but NoVaK rakes his eyes as he turns to drop him for the Anderson-style version, leaving Carey to stop mid-move before NoVaK recovers and hits him with a neckbreaker! The Supernova looks out at the crowd before dropping a knee into Caldwell’s back, all before he drops down to put The Son of Disaster in a side headlock. With a cackle, he wrenches in on Carey, who tries to power himself up, but as he tries to get some leverage, NoVaK wrenches in again, leaving Carey to drop a knee before NoVaK drives a fist into Carey’s head before breaking the headlock. With Carey dazed, NoVaK hits the ropes and charges forward to hit Carey with a dropkick, all before he goes for a cover of his own! One! Two! TH--KICKOUT! NoVaK glares at the referee before picking up Carey and wrenching in a rear headlock, almost trying to cinch in a sleeper hold. Carey tries to fight out of it, but NoVaK cinches tighter as Carey tries to struggle. Carey continues to try to move before getting to the ropes and the referee calls for the break. NoVaK breaks the hold at 4, leaving Carey gasping for air as he tries to get himself to the corner. The Supernova charges into the corner, nailing Caldwell with a huge knee before he pulls Caldwell out of the corner and whips him back into it with force before climbing the corner and starting to pummel Carey viciously before leaning down to bite Carey again. Pond: NoVaK really taking it to Carey Caldwell! Minoru Asano: Carey is starting to finally look a little less indestructible as he has in the past, friend. This doesn’t look good. Steve Lenton: Carey’s biggest strength is his pain tolerance, and if NoVaK is breaking through that, he may be the one who could nail down Carey. Carey finally stumbles out of the corner as NoVaK catches him in a choke hold...before transitioning into a spinning reverse STO! Carey just lays there again, and NoVaK goes for the cover! ONE! TWO! THR---KICKOUT! NoVaK gets enraged and hisses at the referee before he grabs Carey by the legs and pulls him out of the ring whips him to the corner, sending Carey into the ring post! Carey hits the ground with a sick thud, and The Supernova starts to take over the match more, starting to throw him around the ring and making sure that each throw connects with a ring post. He looks to grab Carey and throw him into the window of Darrin Stearns’ office, but Carey gets a foot up to stop the throw, before he tries to grab NoVaK for the Head On Collision, but NoVaK grabs him around the waist...BACK SUPLEX ONTO THE UNFORGIVING FLOOR! Pond: I THINK HE SNAPPED CAREY CALDWELL IN TWO! Minoru Asano: OUR FRIEND IS DEAD! Steve Lenton: THE BIG L IS IN SHOCK! NoVaK takes in the boos from the crowd before he begins to lift up the champ and brawl with him some, Carey starting to reel as he’s forcing Carey back up the stairs. Carey and NoVaK brawl to the balcony above the stairs as Carey tries to weakly swing back to save himself. The two finally brawl to a roof in the other corner opposite Darrin’s office. The two begin to trade punches, but NoVaK gets the advantage one more time before he grabs Carey in an inverted headlock...INVERTED SUPLEX CUTTER TO CALDWELL, PUTTING THEM BOTH THROUGH THE ROOF! The crowd starts to chant “HO-LY SHIT!” at what they’ve just seen, and the door of the storage room opens, NoVaK crawling out first on his knees before the crowd starts to worry as they see Carey barely moving on the floor. Pond: Carey Caldwell may have finally seen his luck run out! Carey gets out of the closet and starts to weakly crawl toward the ring, before NoVaK grabs Carey and pulls him into the ring, hoisting him on the top turnbuckle, all before he grabs Caldwell...CORE COLLAPSE! THAT TOP ROPE TIGER SUPLEX HAS TO BE THE ABSOLUTE NAIL IN THE COFFIN! NoVaK hooks the leg! ONE! TWO! THR---CALDWELL WITH HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES! CAREY CALDWELL SURVIVES BY THE SKIN OF HIS TEETH! Pond: How many lives does Carey have?! Minoru Asano: I’m not sure friend, but let’s drink to all of them! Steve Lenton: That is amazing ring awareness, guys! Carey had the mindset to put his foot on the ropes to save his title reign! NoVaK lifts up Carey and looks to go for And So the Sun Dies...but as NoVaK swings around, he puts Carey by the ropes, which lets Caldwell grab them so he can raise himself up...BEFORE HE GETS ENOUGH HEIGHT TO SWING AROUND AND DROP NoVaK WITH A STUNNING FLIP PILEDRIVER! Carey remains lifeless on the mat as NoVaK seems to try to be recovering himself! With that, NoVaK sends Steri off toward the back as he gets up and grabs Caldwell weakly...death valley driver! He starts to lock Carey into a full nelson while clutching him camel clutch style as Steri returns...wheeling out the skeleton with his father’s Marine uniform while Siobhan and Tom are trying to slam the mat to bring Carey back into this! Carey is screaming in pain as NoVaK starts to force Carey to look at what’s out there in front of him before he breaks the hold and brings Carey to the ropes, choking him on the middle rope as he gets him up close with the skeleton while he screams. NoVaK: YOU’RE DEAD! LOOK AT YOUR FUTURE, CHILD OF LIGHT! LOOK AT WHERE YOU ARE DESTINED TO BE! Carey starts to have problems breathing, and he begins going into convulsions as the crowd seems absolutely concerned over what’s going on. The crowd continues to worry as Carey looks to be going into a seizure as NoVaK pulls away, watching in dark amusement as it seems like Carey may not even pull through while NoVaK starts to walk around the ring, boasting and bragging in victory, shouting out as he looks to the crowd. And then Carey stands up. Pond: He’s been playing possum! Carey looks like he’s about to kill someone as he starts charging toward NoVaK, turning him around as he starts pounding him with forearms! He whips the Supernova into the ropes, but NoVaK reverses, and as he ducks down, Carey comes and grabs him...TRUE NORTH DDT! Carey gets to his feet and he starts pounding himself in the face to psych himself up, all before he extends his arm out to make a finger pistol before he mock shoots NoVaK! He grabs him and reaches to hoist him up onto his shoulders...SANGRE POR SANGRE! CAREY HOOKS THE LEG! ONE! TWO! THRE--KICKOUT! THE CHAMP CANNOT BELIEVE IT! Carey starts to slam his hands on the mat while he starts to get up, trying to keep control of the match. He starts to whip NoVaK to the ropes, but The Supernova reverses! NoVaK comes charging in, but Carey starts to grab the ropes and swing through for The Empire Strikes First! He quickly climbs the turnbuckle for the Honest Goodbye, but NoVaK catches him on his shoulders before repositioning Carey...AND SO THE SUN DIES! NoVaK once again tries to hook for a pin! ONE! TWO! THR-----CAREY HAS KICKED OUT! Pond: THERE IS STILL LIFE IN CAREY CALDWELL! Steve Lenton: HIS ENDURANCE IS STARTING TO SHOW AGAIN! Minoru Asano: LET US YELL AND DRINK THE REST OF THIS SHOW! NoVaK quickly tries to grab Carey, looking to put him in the Supernova Stretch, but Carey starts to fight him off, pushing him away, but NoVaK pushes Carey back toward the ropes before he falls back in between them and rebounds forward to nail a huge lariat! Carey starts to reach for the ropes as he looks out at his friends, and he waves for them before Siobhan reaches under the ring...AND SHE PRODUCES A LADDER! Pond: The referee has just thrown out the rulebook for this match! Steve Lenton: This is an important match, the last thing they need is to ruin this with a disqualification! Minoru Asano: THIS IS WAR, FRIENDS! Carey starts to set up the ladder, climbing up to the top slowly as he looks down at NoVaK with intentions of putting him away. He continues to climb toward the top, but NoVaK starts to climb up the other side! The crowd watches as the two of them start to brawl on top of the ladder, Carey beginning to get the advantage before NoVaK blocks a punch and slams Carey’s head into the top of the ladder. NoVaK looks to start hooking Carey’s arms for the Core Collapse, starting to lift him, but Carey blocks it as he slams NoVaK’s head on the top of the ladder repeatedly before he goes to hoist up The Supernova onto his shoulders….AND HE JUMPS OFF, HITTING NOVAK WITH BURYING THE PAST! THAT LAST DITCH EFFORT TO PUT DOWN THE CHALLENGER, AND CALDWELL GOES FOR THE PIN! ONE! TWO! THREE! The bell sounds, and Carey Caldwell has successfully fought back the challenge of NoVaK! “Take Out the Gunman” starts to play, and Carey is given his World Title back as he grabs his title and clutches it, kissing the face plate as Siobhan and Tom come in to check on their friend. Carey gets to a knee and wraps his arms around Siobhan for a moment before he looks over at Higashikata, getting up and handing Tom the (R)Evolution World Title. Tom objects briefly, but Carey won’t have any of it, letting his smaller friend hold the title before Carey lifts his friend up onto his shoulder to let his friend get a proper goodbye, complete with cheers from their Section B friends. “THANK YOU TOM-MY!” *clap clap clapclapclap* “THANK YOU TOM-MY!” *clap clap clapclapclap* Carey lets Tom down off his shoulder, and he hugs his friend to celebrate one of his last days in town before he goes back over to Siobhan, wrapping his arms around her as she holds him tight. As we go to copyright, the three are celebrating as we see one person slow clapping from the balcony, knowing he’s the next man up to meet Carey Caldwell. Issac Solo. WINNER (AND STILL (R)W WORLD CHAMPION): CAREY CALDWELL
