We go backstage, and we find EXODUS Pro Director Jonathan Collins. In private, the man dubbed "The Saint of Violence" prepares for his match alone, knowing everyone that he loves and trusts has things to prepare for tonight. Wrapping his left fist and preparing it for the war ahead, this time he finds a shadow casting over him as he sits on the floor of the RIMAC, looking up, his calm face curling into a smile.
Jonathan Collins: You know...isn't this how we normally find you?
Fiona slowly steps out from the darkness of the back, having been caught. She gave him a small smile, her shoulders shrugging before she moves to sit on the floor across from him. Her eyes staring into his face, she decided to stretch with him.
Fiona Rourke: It is but tonight I guess the tables turned. Besides, I needed to see you before.....
Jonathan Collins: ...before you think I send myself to slaughter.
Fiona Rourke: Can you blame me, Jonathan? I just get back from Japan and now....this.
Jonathan Collins: It's for you. It's for Jimmy. It's for everyone who thinks LEGION is going to consume this company. I had to join the fight, Fiona. I had to do this to give you guys a glimmer of hope. I wouldn't ask anyone that works for this company to do something I wouldn't. That's why I'm here tonight.
Collins reaches over, holding the facemask he'll eventually put on before going to the ring.
Jonathan Collins: Because if I can win, so can you.
Fiona sighs softly, her eyes not meeting his as she stares down at her hands. She knows he's right but she doesn't want to have to watch what will inevitably go down: a fight to the death between two bitter enemies.
Fiona Rourke: I know, I know. I just.....I'm afraid and I don't want to lose you.
She looks up at him now, real fear written in her eyes and on her face.
Jonathan Collins: You won't. I love you, and no matter where we are, our hearts will bring us together. Someone amazing told me that once.
Fiona Rourke: Oh really? Who told you that?
She looks at him, a small smile growing across her lips as she scoots closer, still facing him in their secluded world it seemed.
Jonathan Collins: Just a ghost from my past. You would've loved her, I swear. She thinks the world of you, but God...I sound crazy talking like this.
Fiona Rourke: No, you don't sound crazy. Go on, tell me. She sounds interesting already, I promise.
Jonathan Collins: Just...my late wife. And she told me it was time to let her go. She knows I need this. She knows I need you.
Fiona's eyes widen as she realizes what he had said. He had talked to his late wife? While she would have said he did sound crazy, Fiona just smiles softly, feeling incredibly touched.
Fiona Rourke: Really?
Jonathan Collins: Honest.
Fiona Rourke: I always wish I could have met her. The way you've talked about her some and what Madison has said, she sounded like a really wonderful woman.
Jonathan Collins: Madison knows what I told her, she was really young, just...now's not the time. You win, I win, and we’ll have a while to talk about it. The war will be over.
Fiona nods, knowing she shouldn't have the conversation going that direction. But there were other things to talk about and discuss.
Fiona Rourke: Of course. Now, what about this stipulation though.....
Jonathan Collins: Don't worry about it. When I win, that's one less person who can call you out.
Her jaw tightens as she scoots as close as she can without being up on top of him.
Fiona Rourke: No, Jonathan. You can't tell me don't worry about it anymore because it's a little too late for that. This is happening right now and I'm worried. Don't do this to me right now.
Jonathan Collins: You don't need to be worrying about this match. You have your title to defend, but trust me...all will be well.
Without hesitation, Collins gets back to his feet and offers his hand to Fiona, giving her a small smile.
Fiona frowns, wishing he would just talk to her instead of avoiding it everytime she tried to bring it up. But, he was right about focusing on her match. Sighing, she places her hand into his and stands up with his help.
Fiona Rourke: Fine. All will be well.
Jonathan smiles, wrapping his arms around her, kissing the top of her head as he closes his eyes. Without a thought, he just holds her, letting her sink in and enjoy the moment with him before he takes a breath and sighs contently.
Jonathan Collins: My number's up. Time for me to go do this.
Her arms wrap around his body, holding him tightly and not yet wanting to let him go. She needed this moment and she savored it, making sure it was burnt into her memory. She smiles softly then, looking up at him before pulling him down and kissing him with everything she felt for him inside of her.
Fiona Rourke: I love you, Captain. You can do this.
Jonathan Collins: You got it. Now lemme go do my thing and smack my ass so this has some sort of symmetry.
He grins, laughing a little as he starts to put the face mask on the lower half of his face to prepare for his entrance.
Fiona laughs, watching him silently and getting chills as she stares in his eyes through the mask. She waits till he turns to leave then reaches out, smacking her hand against his ass.
Fiona Rourke: Go get'em champ.
Elsewhere backstage the cameras caught the form of Katherine Reynolds as she moves down the hall, freshly showered and changed after her tag match with Katherine Stryfe. She was going to the catering area to get a treat for Kat, and some bottled water to share, the LEGION 'arm candy' as she often was called seems like nothing in the world is bothering her. She entered the area and started gathering up a few things, humming under her breath.
Katherine Reynolds: Ah that should do the trick..
The catering room has another inhabitant, though, and he is unmistakeable. The white tuxedo that he wears and the dark black sunglasses that cover his eyes practically identify him as EXODUS Pro's mercenary for hire, Ryuji Kamigawa. He has no food, but is sipping away at a cup of coffee, the small styrofoam cup dwarfed by his hand. As he realizes he isn't alone, he nods in the direction of LEGION's femme fatale.
Ryuji Kamigawa: Good evening, Miss Reynolds.
A man of few words, this one is. Katherine delicately shakes her head making her auburn curls bounce and whether it's a trick of the light or something else, for a moment those big eyes of hers seem golden. She pauses, a hint of a smile on her lips.
Katherine Reynolds: Good evening to you, ... Kamigawa, is that right?
A certain inquisitive lilt to her voice as if she were double checking either the name or the pronounciation. He nods his head, taking in the sight of her, expression impassive -- though with his eyes hidden, it's impossible to tell what he truly thinks of Katherine save any hints in his words and action.
Ryuji Kamigawa: Indeed. Ryuji Kamigawa, mercenary for hire, at your service.
He sketches a shallow, half-formal bow, before smiling thinly.
Ryuji Kamigawa: Good work out there earlier tonight. It...pleases me to see the strength of my potential clients.
A hint of a smile comes to her lips and she opens one of the water bottles she picks up, taking a sip as she is obviously considering her words.
Katherine Reynolds: Thank you, it was a rare match that I was just pleased to be in, since I got to wrestle with Katherine Stryfe at my side. I do certainly hope you are entertaining the idea seriously. LEGION could use a man with your.. skill set.
Ryuji Kamigawa If Iwakuma-san wants to hire me for any...business he wishes done, my ears and office are open. Otherwise, I am a neutral in this war. Such is my lot in life as a mercenary, Miss Reynolds. Though, I am not...unsympathetic to your cause.
Kamigawa nods, and takes another swig from his coffee.
Ryuji Kamigawa: I owe Jonathan Collins a favor. The sooner LEGION forces his hand, the sooner he will use it, and the sooner I do not have the threat of it hanging over my head.
Katherine paused, seemingly reflecting on his words.
Katherine Reynolds: I can understand that. It is ...mortifying I suppose to be beholden, and moreso when you are used to being in charge of where you go and what you do. I don't know if it will bring you any relief, but rest assured, LEGION is not a group to just... sit on its hands.
Ryuji Kamigawa[/b}: Collins is no fool. I had hoped he would use the favor early...but alas. I am hopeful that a good showing tonight will change his mind. I have high hopes for Magnus Gunner, I must admit. I do hope that he doesn't disappoint me...
The smile on the face of the potential next International Champion probably does not bode good things for one Jonathan Collins.
Ryuji Kamigawa: I am not a fan of Daisuke's tactics, but I will readily admit he has assembled an excellent fighting force. From top to bottom, the ranks of LEGION are filled with true warriors, yourself included. Do not allow the words of others to sway you, Katherine.
He nods, looking into the woman's eyes from behind his dark glasses.
Katherine Reynolds: Why Kamigawa... I believe I like how perceptive you are. You're not blinded by others preconceived notions of what LEGION is, and trust when I say that the words of others do little to affect me one way or the other save to serve to give me more to use against them in the end.
A small smile touched her lips and they parted, showing a delicate hint of her white teeth, which seemed almost predatory and yet, still quite feminine.
Katherine Reynolds: I will.. if you don't mind that is, speak to Daisuke about what we've...shared.
Ryuji Kamigawa: There is no need, Katherine...though if you insist, I would not reject your wishes. Speak to Iwakuma-san if you wish. Do not alter your plans for me, though...one could say that if I am aided in this endeavor, I would owe you all a favor, as well...
His smile mirrors hers, though it's nowhere near as pleasant to the eye for the average male EXODUS fan. It is reasonably toothy, though, and he seems pleased with Katherine.
Ryuji Kamigawa: For now, though, I fear I must bid my leave. Harter and Halliwell must be dealt with for me to walk out of here with my title belt, and they will not defeat themselves -- even if it would make my life much easier.
Katherine gave him a slightly wider smile, and nodded as she too turns to leave.
Katherine Reynolds: Oh I do understand. I would wish you luck... but a man like you needs only skill out in that ring.
He's almost out of earshot, but he catches her words just before disappearing around the corner. Kamigawa spins around with a grin, and utters one final word before leaving to prepare for combat.
Ryuji Kamigawa: Flatterer.

Singles Match
Gouken Haroshi (w/ Kanna) vs. Jimmy Riley
The arena goes dark as smoke billows out from atop of the ramp. Lights flicker between total darkness and a dark red. From the back emerges Gouken clad in a robe and hood, at his side stands his sister Kanna, barbwire baseball bat in her hands. Kanna says something and points to the ring, and Gouken obeys.
David Zinkus: Coming down the aisle, representing LEGION...from Tokyo, Japan, weighing 279 pounds, and accompanied by his sister, Kanna...THIS IS GOUKEN HAROSHIIIIIII!
The big man walks down, slowly, methodically before climbing into the ring followed by Kanna. Gouken stands in the middle of the ring as Kann approaches and pulls off the hood, revealing his masked face. She then pulls off the robe and whispers something into Gouken’s ear, causing the big man to let out an audible roar...ready for combat.
Dick Morosi: If Gouken thinks the boos for him were loud, wait until he hears the cheers for his opponent!
The wailing of Patrick Stump echoes throughout the building as fans rise to their feet, looking at the entrance way. As the first verse of “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark” breaks through the PA system, Jimmy Riley bursts through the curtain, walking out on the stage. His smiling face is looking out at the fans as he walks around the stage itself, motioning for the fans to get on their feet and get louder.
David Zinkus: AND HIS OPPONENT...from Cleveland, Ohio! He weighs in at 230 pounds and represents EXODUS PRO WRESTLING...JIMMY RILEY!
Upon coming back to the center of the stage, Riley takes off, heading for the ring. His hoodie is half-zipped up, and he makes sure to reach out and slap some fans' hands as he makes his way down the aisle.
Dick Morosi: This young man is coming out tonight with a serious purpose!
Seth Ericson: Maybe so, but who knows how it'll turn out for him?
Reaching the ring as the chorus hits, Jimmy hops up on the apron, spinning around and locking his arms around the top rope, bouncing off of it just a little bit as he looks out at the audience again. After a moment, he swings one leg up and his body carries under the top rope, bouncing to mid-ring where he throws his arms out to the side, soaking in the crowd reaction before he backs into his corner, removing his hoodie and preparing for the match at hand.
Dick Morosi: This is a huge match for both of them. Gouken is looking to get back on track after failing to win with Daisuke Iwakuma two weeks ago, and Jimmy Riley is looking to keep himself on the winning ways after beating Aiden Romero.
Seth Ericson: Yeah, but he still has to get over this incredible monster, who seemingly strikes at the command of Daisuke Iwakuma!
Gouken looks on at him, but he doesn't look long...because as soon as referee Dan Arnouil signals for the bell, Riley charges at Gouken, pounding him with elbows and fists! Riley continues to back Gouken into the corner, unleashing this all out assault before grabbing and whipping him into the opposite corner before charging in and leaping up with a massive elbow! Gouken stumbles out of the corner and remains against the ropes as he tries to shake off the cobwebs, but Riley quickly comes over and tosses a massive dropkick at him, sending him over the ropes, with the crowd going wild! Jimmy gives a nod toward the crowd and continues to psych them up before backing up towards some ropes and charging forward, diving out of the ring to land onto Gouken with a huge plancha! He goes to get up, looking to go after Gouken, but he turns his head just in time to see Kanna Haroshi try to interfere. Stopping her from doing so, he tries to get back into the ring, but as Arnouil is checking on Gouken, Kanna clubs him in the back with her barbed wire baseball bat! The ref manages to catch a glimpse of it and calls for the bell, but Kanna strikes Jimmy again! Rolling the bat into the ring for Gouken, he picks it up and jams it into Jimmy's ribs before picking him up and delivering a powerbomb to him. With Kanna still unsatisfied, she starts scavenging under the ring, pulling out a table and sliding it into the ring for Gouken to use.
Dick Morosi: This is an assault!
Seth Ericson: That's LEGION's way though, Dick! Would you expect anything less from them?
Gouken begins to set up the table looking to put Jimmy down with the Down from the Sky, but Jimmy starts to pound Gouken in the face with fists, and Gouken quickly lets him down! Jimmy gets a hold of the bat and starts swinging it around! Gouken and Kanna start heading for higher ground, but Riley looks enraged as he swings the bat, making sure they know he means business. "My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark" starts to play again, leaving Riley angry and looking for vengeance.
Dick Morosi: Jimmy Riley looks enraged, Seth.
Seth Ericson: Do you blame him? And something tells me it's not over between those two, not by a long shot.
Winner (via Disqualification): Jimmy Riley[/b][/b]

Elsewhere backstage, we go to the office of Rufus Frost. Watching the show from a monitor in his office, it's not long before his solitude is broken. Surprisingly, however, it's from the voice of a child...the voice of young Madison Collins.
Madison Collins: Uncle Rufus!
She dashes over, giving the man a hug as coming into view is the Director of EXODUS Pro himself, Jonathan Collins. In some track pants and a t-shirt, not fully ready for tonight yet, he smiles as he approaches his friend.
Jonathan Collins: She couldn't wait to see you, Rufus. Have you been spoiling her behind my back?
Rufus Frost: Oh, you know...not much. You'll, ah...need a garage to hold the car until she's old enough to drive it, but...
He chuckles, then pats Madison on the head.
Rufus Frost: Can you give me and your dad a minute?
She nods and takes off, and the mood becomes more than a little bit solemn.
You're aware I didn't exactly approve of this stipulation you've got.
Jonathan Collins: I know, but it needs to go down like this and you know it. Kliff has gone too far. After what he did to you a few weeks ago, I can't forgive myself for not stopping it in time.
Jonathan sighs, looking down for a second before he shakes his head.
Jonathan Collins: You know what to do if it swings the other way. Darrin's trained in everything. Dial all the numbers in the blue box, make sure Fiona gets the rest.
Rufus nods.
Rufus Frost: I hope it doesn't actually come to that...no matter how resigned you might be to your fate. Hopefully we'll get to the next show and all of this will be nothing more than a memory.
Rufus offers his hand out to Jon.
Rufus Frost: I'd wish you best of luck, but I know you don't need it.
Jonathan looks at Frost for a moment, reaching to take his hand, before bringing his long time promoter and mentor in for a hug.
Jonathan Collins: Thank you, Rufus. You've put food on the plate for my daughter and me for almost her whole life. I'm going to end this tonight for the both of us. You deserve the best out of me more than ever.
Rufus pats Jon on the back before letting the hug go. Almost instinctively, he brushes off his suit.
Rufus Frost: If you'll excuse me, I've got a call to take with Ishiyama-san. Finish up that planning.
He moves around to his desk; even with the cordial tone he'd used with Jon, Rufus' face was showing more concern than he ever truly intends to show.
The camera cuts to another part of the backstage area, catching a familiar face walking through the halls. Dan Stein, along with Molly, his assistant, walk with purpose. Stein wears a baby blue EXODUS Pro t-shirt, a pair of designer blue jeans and a pair of K-Swiss athletic shoes. Molly wears a nice business suit, ruby red lipstick and her fire orange hair in a business professional bun. Dan has the SHOOT Project World Tag Team Championship on his shoulder and a smile on his face as he walks into the lobby and directly into the path of Tom Matheny.
Tom Matheny: Dan Stein! There were rumors you would be here!
Matheny walks to Dan, stopping the SHOOT Project soldier in his tracks. Tom’s question is anchored by his curious look. Stein adjusts the belt on his shoulder.
Dan Stein: Word spreads fast when you’re a hot commodity, uh… Guy.
Stein taps Matheny softly on the chin with a fist, obviously upsetting the former professional wrestler. Matheny exhales through his nose before bringing the microphone back to himself.
Tom Matheny: They said your ego precedes you. It’s Tom. Tom Matheny. And just a few weeks ago we saw you scouting Alex Brooks in preparation for your tag team match with him at Revolution 108; now there are rumors that you are leaving SHOOT Project due to contractual disputes. Any truth to the rumor you’re looking to sign a contract with EXODUS Pro?
Stein smiles and adjusts the title on his shoulder once more. Taking a moment to look at the camera, Dan speaks to Tom.
Dan Stein: There are a lot of rumors out there about Dan Stein lately, Tony. Dan Stein is going to EXODUS Pro, Dan Stein is retiring, Dan Stein this, Dan Stein that. It’s quite…
Stein pauses, thinking to himself.
Molly the Assistant: Nauseating.
Stein rubs his chin, looking up at the ceiling.
Dan Stein: No, that’s not the word. ‘Refreshing’? ‘Flattering’? No, no, ‘Optimum’. That’s the word. See, Dan Stein should be the talk of the wrestling world. Dan Stein should be the talk of the ENTIRE world, and he should be the talk of EXODUS Pro.
Tom cuts Dan off.
Tom Matheny: So, you are joining EXODUS Pro!
Stein smirks.
Dan Stein: No, that’s not what I’m saying. As much as I would love to wrestle for the fans that pay their hard earned…pizza money for front row seats, right here in sunny San Diego, California.
Stein puts a hand to his ear to listen to the capacity crowd cheer. Stein nods, laughing to himself.
Dan Stein: Who knows what is going to happen when the dust settles? Me? You? Her?
Dan points at Molly with his thumb, catching her off guard. Molly throws up her hands, waving them because she honestly has no clue what’s going on.
Dan Stein: The fact of the matter, Tim, is that…I don’t know what’s going to happen when the dust settles. For all you know, I could end up in Hollywood, starring in the next summer blockbuster.
Tom’s chili is boiling at the complete disrespect shown by Stein by botching his name. Tom looks at Dan, and points at Molly.
Tom Matheny: You mean to tell me that you and your manager-
Molly the Assistant: Assistant. I take no responsibility for Dan Stein’s actions, ergo I am not his manager.
Molly leans in to the microphone, making sure her voice is heard. She flashes a smile, and then stands up straight. Tom clears his throat.
Tom Matheny: You and your assistant being backstage at an EXODUS Pro Supercard means nothing, and you’re just here for giggles? I’m not buying it, Dan.
Stein smiles, patting Tom on the shoulder.
Dan Stein: Listen, Tiny. There are a lot of rumors out there and a lot of places that Dan Stein is rumored to be heading. The fact that Dan Stein is backstage at an EXODUS Pro show? That can only mean good things for the company. It means there are eyes out there, eyes on the product – eyes that Dan Stein wants on him. So take that for what it is, Tina, and get back to worrying about the product that’s already confirmed to be signed to the roster.
Stein looks up to see a shadow walking across the hallway. Dan smiles as he turns to the interviewer.
Dan Stein: I have someone I need to say, ‘Hello,’ to. Have a nice night, Ted.
Stein puts a hand on Tom’s shoulder once more before passing and heading off camera. Tom sighs, putting the microphone to his mouth.
Tom Matheny: It’s Tom.
Stein’s voice is heard off camera, laughing.
Dan Stein: I really don’t care.
Resigned, Tom looks directly at the camera.
Tom Matheny: Let's head back to ringside.

The RIMAC arena plunges into darkness. The opening chords to Lux Aeterna (Requiem For a Dream) trigger one another another. The slow violin casts an eerie atmosphere over the crowd, who look amidst the blackness for any light they could find. As the song begins to pick up, the curtain along the entrance way withdraws, revealing a piercing, angelic white light. Slowly, a sillouetted figure emerges from the heavenly gateway; arms and hands held wide open... David Zinkus: Coming to the ring... From Japan! Weighing in at 237 pounds... Representing LEGION... THE DREEEEEEEEAM CATCHEEEEER!!! After finishing his introduction The Dream Catcher steps out, before thrusting his arms higher into the air, triggering an earth-shaking crash, causing the RIMAC lights to illuminate once more, revealing an endless release of white, angelic feathers from the ceiling! With a titular dreammaker hanging from his neck, The Dream Catcher stood with his arms reached towards the heavens as more and more white feathers flowed all over RIMAC. Coming out of his trance, The Dream Catcher begins walking to the ring, with "The Perfect Evil" Daisuke Iwakuma and Audrey Lloris closely behind. The Dream Catcher looked poised, and more importantly; capable of handling the task. Seth Ericson: We have seen very little from this... this... 'Dream Catcher,' but we're finally going to see what he's capable of! Dick Morosi: But surely, Daisuke Iwakuma wouldn't have brought him to EXODUS unless he was a top-notch talent. IWakuma almost looks like a proud father standing behind his 'Dream catcher.' Indeed, Iwakuma applauds proudly as The Dream Catcher climbs to the top rope, before gazing out to the crowd. After jumping down and walking towards the center of the ring, The Dream Catcher suddenly begins pointing at his mask... Dick Morosi: Now what's going on here? Is he... Is he trying to take off the mask? Seth Ericson: It looks like he is! We're about to find out who this man is...! With little grandstanding, the Dream Catcher slowly inserted his thumb under the chin strap of the mask, before pulling it off dramatically! Seth Ericson: ...Wait... WAIT, I KNOW WHO THAT IS! I know that face! That man is NORIHIRO AKASHI! Dick Morosi: ...Norihiro...Akashi? ...You mean the same Akashi that was trained by KAZUMA FUJITA? ...Are you sure!? Showing a new level of charisma and eccentricities not shown before, Akashi, or rather "The Dream Catcher" squated down into the corner to await the start of the match. David Zinkus: And introducing his opponent, weighing in at 240 pounds, from San Diego, California, accompanied to the ring by Jamie Essex, he is Harakiri! Dick Morosi: Harakiri was impressive two weeks ago when he made his debut against Anya Makarov! Seth Ericson: Yeah, he was. Even only he would beat you up like he did Anya, then this show’s ratings would boost! As they arrive near the ring while "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons plays, Harakiri brushes Essex out of the way and quickly slides into the ring beneath the bottom rope. Essex takes his place outside the ring while Harakiri simply stands in the center of the ring, head cocked to the side quizzically and waiting for the start of the match as his theme dies out. Dick Morosi: He really is rather strange, isn’t he? "Prayers" by In This Moment begins playing as the lights take on a dark shade of blue moments before Erin Daniels comes out through the entrance. Making her way down the small ramp towards the ring, she casually stretches her arms while casting appraising glances at the crowd around the arena, the crowd booing her as well. David Zinkus: And their opponent, weighing in at 130 pounds, from New York, New York, she is Erin Daniels! Seth Ericson: What is up with these fans? They shouldn’t be booing Erin! She’s a great wrestler and really sexy! Hell, if she wasn’t already taken, I’d ask her to marry me! Dick Morosi: Yeah, yeah, yeah. As Zinkus makes his way out of the ring, the ref looks at all three competitors and explains to them the rules as Erin’s theme begins to die out. After informing them of the rules, he calls for the bell and the match is underway, the crowd not pleased on one hand that they have to watch three possible future LEGION members fight, but pleased that they have to fight each other. Dick Morosi: The winner of this match may very well be the next LEGION member. Seth Ericson: And that group is already really strong. Adding one more member would just make them even stronger...though the addition of Akashi already makes them more dangerous than ever! The three competitors stare each other down, waiting for a move to be made by the others. Akashi makes the first move by running towards Erin Daniels and attempting a clothesline, but she ducks underneath. Once Akashi turns around, Daniels dropkicks him, sending him falling to the mat and rolling out of the ring. Dick Morosi: An attempt at a clothesline by Akashi to start the match, but Erin Daniels connects with a dropkick to send him out of the ring! Seth Ericson: This is the great thing about Erin Daniels. Her speed is unmatched by these other two men. As Daniels turns, Harakiri runs towards her and once near enough, he jumps and raises his left leg to connect to the side of Daniels’ head, knocking her down to the ground with a thud with an enziguri. Harakiri then drops to the ground as well, rolls Daniels over, and goes for a pin. Dick Morosi: What an enziguri by Harakiri! Seth Ericson: And here’s a cover by Harakiri himself! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Daniels just raises her right shoulder up and the fans don’t boo or cheer as Daniels kicks out. In fact, they smile as they now expect this match to go longer and possibly are praying that at least one of them, if not all of them, get hurt. Dick Morosi: And a kickout by Daniels to keep this match going! As Harakiri rises to his feet, Akashi sneaks back in, puts his arms around Harakiri’s waist as he faces him, then connects with a belly to belly suplex, sending Harakiri flying and falling to the mat, then rolling out of the ring, leaving Daniels and Catcher in the ring. Jamie Essex quickly makes his way around the ring to check on his client. Seth Ericson: Damn, that was a good belly to belly suplex! Dick Morosi: Harakiri may need a minute to catch his breath. Seth Ericson: I would need like five minutes to catch mine! Dick Morosi: That’s because you’re you and they’re ACTUAL wrestlers. Seth Ericson: ...go to hell, Dick. Akashi goes to grab Erin Daniels, who is already up to one knee, by the head, but as she gets up to both feet, she pushes him away. Daniels then runs towards Catcher, jumps up and wraps her legs around his head as she twists her body around to connect with a hurricarana. She then notices Harakiri getting up, runs towards the opposite ropes, slides down when she gets close enough, and with her right foot sends Harakiri crashing to the barricade.
Dick Morosi: A hurricarana to Akashi and a baseball slide to Harakiri by Erin Daniels!
Seth Ericson: This girl is hot! And she’s wrestling pretty well, too!
Dick Morosi: Keep it in your pants, Seth.
Seth Ericson: Just because nobody’s seen yours besides yourself…
As Daniels turns around, she sees Akashi has gotten back up. He runs towards her and attempts yet another clothesline, but she ducks it once more. Akashi quickly turns on his heel and is hit with a palm strike to the chest by Daniels, causing him to fall back towards the ropes. Daniels Irish whips him and when he bounces off the opposing ropes, Daniels turns her body around and connects with an elbow to the face of Akashi. Akashi clutches at his face as Daniels runs up at him from behind, grabs his head with her right hand, and connects with a one handed bulldog.
Dick Morosi: A palm strike, followed by an elbow to the face, followed by a one handed
bulldog.
Seth Ericson: I think Daniels is about to put this match away!
As Daniels gets back up to her feet, Harakiri enters the ring and connects with a bicycle kick to Daniels, sending her falling to the mat and rolling over to a nearby corner where she holds her face in pain from the kick. Akashi gets up to one knee and Harakiri runs up and connects with a Shining Wizard before going for the pin.
Dick Morosi: And Harakiri connects with a bicycle kick, followed by a Shining Wizard!
Seth Ericson: And now he’s going for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-KICKOUT!
Dick Morosi: Kickout by Norihiro Akashi!
Harakiri grabs Akashi and begins to pick him up to both feet. Once up to both feet, Harakiri kicks him in the midsection and puts him in a powerbomb position. He begins to aim for a nearby corner turnbuckle, but Erin Daniels comes back in to the match and makes her presence by kicking the right leg of Harakiri, causing him to waver and fall back first on to the ground and Akashi to land on top of him. Akashi quickly rolls out of the ring, half dazed.
Dick Morosi: And just like that, Daniels is back in this match!
Seth Ericson: I feel the end coming sooner rather than later, Dick!
Dick Morosi: Possibly, Seth. Possibly.
Daniels is quick to get up to her feet as she watches Harakiri clutch at his chest in pain from the landing Akashi had on it. As Harakiri slowly gets up, Daniels smacks her right leg, signaling for her finisher, “Blackout”. Essex is trying to yell at his client of the danger
behind him as he uses the ropes to get up to both his feet, but Harakiri doesn'tlisten.
Seth Ericson: Here we go!
Dick Morosi: Oh, boy.
Harakiri turns and Daniels raises her right foot to hit him with “Blackout”, but Harakiri is too quick. He grabs the foot of Daniels before she can connect, then pushes her foot backwards, sending Daniels down on the mat and rolling out of the ring. Then, as Harakiri watches Daniels rolls out of the ring, Norihiro Akashi sneaks back in.
Dick Morosi: “Blackout” denied by Harakiri!
Seth Ericson: I thought Daniels had it!
Dick Morosi: Oh, look at this! Akashi’s back in the ring!
Akashi gets up to two feet as he slides in, grabs the right shoulder of Harakiri and turns him around, before kicking him in the midsection. After doing that, he gets Harakiri in a vertical suplex lift which he has go into a high-impact STO, knocking Harakiri down to the ground, knocked out.
Seth Ericson: Ignition Crash!
Dick Morosi: Norihiro Akashi connected with his famous Ignition Crash!
Seth Ericson: He’s going for the pin! Can he win it?!
ONE!
Dick Morosi: This could be it!
TWO!
Seth Ericson: It’s done!
THREE!
DING! DING! DING!
Jamie Essex watches in horror as Akashi slowly rises to his feet, Harakiri now making small movement. The referee raises Harakiri’s hand as “Lux Aeterna” begins to play all throughout the arena, the crowd booing while Daisuke Iwakuma comes in to raise his hand in victory.
David Zinkus: The winner of this match, THE DREAM CATCHER...NORIHIRO AKASHIIIIII!
Dick Morosi: Norihiro Akashi with an impressive victory here tonight!
WINNER: Norihiro Akashi (The Dream Catcher) |

The lighting in the RIMAC arena shuts down, including the video screen. The opening riff to "Be Still and Know" by Machine Head begins to play, bringing an electric reaction of ecstatic cheering and angry booing from the fans in attendance as the video beings to play. Dick Morosi: Oh god, here we go. "The Final Star" steps out from behind the curtains with a cocky smile plastered on his face. He holds his arm high into the air as he makes his way down the ramp, decked out in a pair of black jeans and a "Big F'n Deal" T-shirt. He ignores the fans as he makes his way into the ring. Seth Ericson: The Final Star has been very vocal on Twitter recently, Dick. He said it's time for him to take what he wants. Dick Morosi: Maybe he'll actually start wrestling then. The music comes to an end as Andrew reaches in to his back pocket, pulling out a microphone with his green star logo on the side. Andrew Ashton: So, I’ve been told this week that I’ve been given time and I better make sure I talk. I can’t say the hollow threat from Rufus has prompted me to do this – what’s the worst he can do? Fine me some more to prove that I’m under his rule? Please, he knows money isn’t a problem to me. Announcing publicly is just his way of trying to show to you all that he’s in control of me, when really he knows I don’t give a shit about fines. Oops! There’s another one! Dick Morosi: He’s making a mockery of the disciplinary procedures here. Seth Ericson: He thinks he’s untouchable, Dick! I actually like this attitude that he has! If anyone deserves to have one, it’s him! Dick Morosi: You would. Andrew Ashton: So let’s get to the burning question. What is going on with Andrew Ashton? Let me give you a bit of a history lesson. Ten years ago, I gave every single thing I had, physically and mentally, in a company called New Era Wrestling. Andrew closes his eyes as he says the name, his love for his former company still evident. Quite a large section of the audience let out a cheer at the name of Andrews former employers. Andrew Ashton: Every single time that company opened and closed its doors, I was always there. I worked every show, got up after every bump and kept coming forward. Even when I hadn’t won a World title and didn’t think I was good enough, I carried on coming and giving my all to Rufus’ company. My intensity didn’t slow down once, I was always right there at the top because I cared about the company and the people I was working for. I didn’t want to let them down and it made me determined to be the best damn wrestler they ever had. I became the face of that company. Hell, I made New Era Wrestling what it was! A “Drew Ash” chant begins to break out but is quickly contested with boos from the newer wrestling crowd. Andrew nods in appreciation. Andrew Ashton: At 24 years old, New Era Wrestling closed its doors and I ended my career in its prime, all because I promised I wouldn’t work for anybody else. I have sat at home for ten years, content with everything I’d achieved in life, but I’d still always had the itch to come back. My promise to the Frosts made that not happen. I refused to work for anybody else. Andrew pauses and walks to the center of the ring. The cocky smirk leaves his face completely. Andrew Ashton: Then I hear about EXODUS Pro. He drops his hands and the microphone down to his side while the fans cheer. An “E-Pro” chant begins to break out which forces Drew to shake his head. He brings the microphone back up to his lips. Andrew Ashton: I hear Rufus is working with Jonathan Collins – a hair on the ass of what New Era Wrestling was but his ego makes him believe he was part of the foundation. Jon was part of a group called the Infinite with me. If it wasn’t for me, Jonathan Collins wouldn’t have received half of the recognition he had at the time! He wouldn’t be the world beating, mighty “one defense” champion we see today! In case you’re watching, hey Kyle Rayner! The mixed reaction from the fans grows even louder, with a "Collins" chant breaking out over the cheers. Andrew Ashton: I felt betrayed. My phone didn’t ring from neither of them. Yet they wonder why I’m pissed off? They wonder what my problem is with them. I’m here to show them how much they fucked up. Dick Morosi: This is starting to get ridiculous. Seth Ericson: Shut up and let the man talk! Andrew Ashton: I’m here to ruin whatever plans they have in place. Obviously it’s going to be difficult, with Jonathan Collins giving the shots to the person blowing him. I mean, on the very first show, the International title gets put on the line in a match that just so happens to have his girlfriend in it. Regardless of her having to come through that match, she still got an unwarranted shot and we’re supposed to just take it? Fiona Rourke wou— The fans explode at the mention of their World champion. Andrew Ashton: Fiona Rourke has had everything put on a plate for her. She just had to grab the knife and fork to eat it. Let’s break down a wall, shall we? IWC, this one is for you. A smirk forms across Andrews face as he prepares to shoot. He walks over to the turnbuckle and sits himself on top. Andrew Ashton: Let me take you back to a few weeks ago. Omar Wise gets put on the shelf and lo-and-behold, who does Jonathan Collins pick to come out here to go against him? Fiona Rourke. Why? Because she came second in the Winter Road tournament. If Abby Park came second, would she have got that chance to go against a 25% Omar Wise? Not a chance. Jon knew Omar was hurt before that match and sent him out there against his buffer. That’s the kind of company you’re watching, folks. If Abby Park would have come second, would she have been given that shot? No, she’d have been put in a match against Fiona for it, and you all know it’s true. Dick Morosi: This is completely unprofessional and Andrew knows it. Seth Ericson: He’s been unprofessional since he took off the mask, Seth. He’s had this planned the whole time. Andrew Ashton: Then look at a few weeks ago! Abby Park is against Rourke in her first defense and the match is interrupted. Abby was really taking it to Fiona in that match. Where is Abby’s rematch? Where is her chance to finish her World title match? No-where to be seen. Jonathan is keeping her protected. Instead she gets to go against Magnus, who came back after leaving for a while. Yet when I ask for a chance, even though I’ve been here from day one, I get told I’d be getting fast-tracked? I’m opening the curtain on this charade. The fans remain silent, stunned at what they’re hearing, stunned that Andrew is going completely off the record. Andrew Ashton: I’m here to put an end to this. I’m here to bring turmoil and make them sweat for how they treated me. Rufus and Jon can work everyone else like puppets, but they’re not going to do that with me. I’m not going to discriminate; everyone is in my crosshairs, from management to LEGION. Have me open cards, have me work dark matches, but there is only so much you can do to hold me back. I’m the Final Star. I’m the best you have! The old school fans let out a massive roar as Andrew gets down from the turnbuckle and walks to the center of the ring. Andrew Ashton: I’m here to make you regret not making that call, Rufus, and I’m here to show that I’m still a big fucking deal. Andrew drops the microphone with a thud. “Be Still and Know” begins playing over the sound system again as Andrew smiles and makes his way out of the ring. The camera cuts to a shocked Seth Ericson and Dick Morosi. Dick Morosi: I really don’t know what to say, Seth. Seth Ericson: We have to believe that there will be some repercussions for Andrew’s actions just now. Dick Morosi: Andrew Ashton has just shown that he honestly believes he is untouchable as an asset in this company. Seth Ericson: And you know what, Dick? He could just be right. Andrew sounds like he’s done playing and is ready to make his mark. We know just how good he is when he’s in that frame of mind. Dick Morosi: If, and right now I think it’s a big if, Andrew can do what he plans to and get to the top of this company, I think life in EXODUS Pro is going to become very difficult. Backstage, at the interview area, Tom Matheny is ready with Jimmy Riley standing next to him! Riley's already dressed for his match, wearing his lime green hoodie, and with an arm on Matheny's shoulder, grinning. Tom Matheny: Right now I'm joined by a man taking on "The Sword of LEGION," he's Jimmy Riley! Jimmy Riley: Hey, thanks for having me. Tom Matheny: Jimmy, two weeks ago, right here in the RIMAC, you were attacked from behind by Gouken, locked in his Jaws of Death submission hold. Tonight, you've got the chance for revenge. Jimmy nods, then stands up straight, looking at the camera. Jimmy Riley: Gouken, it's like I already laid out for you. Two weeks ago you got the advantage, you hit me from behind. Tonight? Tonight's a different story, and no matter what you, or Kanna, or Daisuke, or anyone else in LEGION thinks? Your sword is no match. Tonight in that ring, in front of those thousands of fans... They respond with the proper loud cheer. Jimmy Riley: Your sword meets my fire, and melts under pressure. Light 'em up, Gouken. Riley takes off to the left to finish preparing. Tom Matheny: That'll do it for me back here, let's head back to the ring for a triple threat! |

EXODUS PRO WRESTLINGPRESENTSINVINCIBLEAPRIL 7, 2013 - SAN DIEGO, CAThe camera opens live with a panning shot over the audience, who all rise to their feet. Some of them have signs, others simply stand and cheer as the shot changes to that of Dick Morosi and Seth Ericson! Tag Team MatchKatherine Reynolds and Katherine Stryfe vs. Iconic MayhemDick Morosi: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to EXODUS Pro’s April Supercard, Invincible! There’s a lot of action in store tonight, including the ever dangerous Gunner Magnus taking on EXODUS Pro Champion, Fiona Rourke, in a Chairshot Survival Match! Seth Ericson: And both the Intercontinental Championship and the Tag Team Championships will be on the line later in the show! Dick Morosi: But first, let’s get our first look at the tag team of Iconic Mayhem as they take on LEGION member Katherine Reynolds and her longtime friend, Katherine Stryfe! David Zinkus: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following tag team match is scheduled for one fall and is our opening match of the evening! The sounds of Tool’s “The Grudge” play over the PA system, signaling the entrance of LEGION’s own Katherine Reynolds. As the vocals kick in, both Katherines step out from the back, causing the arena to boo the two beautiful women. Stryfe steps out with a hooded duster, complete with a phoenix rising from the flames etched on the back, Reynolds is wearing her traditional booty shorts, crop top and jacket. The two women look at each other with a smile before heading down to the ring, completely ignoring the fans on their trip. David Zinkus: Making their way to the ring at this time, at a combined weight of two hundred and twenty six pounds, they are Katherine Reynolds and Katherine STRYYYFE! The boos pick up force at the mention of their names. The women feed off of the energy, each of them sliding into the ring seductively. Reynolds stands up in the middle of the ring with her index finger raised high in the air, while Stryfe takes in the atmosphere of the RIMAC Arena for the first time. Dick Morosi: Looks like the Katherines came to play tonight! Seth Ericson: I just wish they’d play with me, Dick! As Reynolds wiggles out of her jacket and “accidentally” drops it on the mat, “The Pride” by Five Finger Death Punch takes over the arena. Turning to look up at the entrance way, Katherine Reynolds watches Iconic Mayhem step out to the stage, immediately the fan favorite in the match. David Zinkus: And their opponents, weighing in at three hundred and thirty six pounds, they are Iconic MAYHEEEEEM! Donovan and Morganti make their way down to the ring, rubbing their wrists. Donovan’s lime green pants and matching dress-style attire of Ophelia show the conservative differences between them and their opponents. Anthony watches as his tag partner makes her way up the steel steps and into the ring before sauntering his way in behind her. Dick Morosi: Iconic Mayhem has had a lot to say heading in to their debut match, let’s see if that talk is all it’s quacked out to be! Morganti ushers Donovan into their corner, letting him know that she has this, as Reynolds assures Stryfe will have a short night if she stays out of the ring at the start! Morganti and Reynolds turn to each other as D’Artis Johnson calls for the bell! Katherine and Ophelia walk up to each other, jawing at each other. The taller Reynolds motions above Morganti’s head as if a ride operator, and Ophelia lays into Reynolds’ face with an elbow, dropping the LEGION member to the mat! Dick Morosi: Kitty trying to embarrass the newcomer, but Ophelia is having none of that! Katherine looks up at Morganti, holding her cheek. The fans cheer on Morganti as she begs for Reynolds to get up. Katherine pulls herself up by the ropes, never taking her eyes off of Ophelia, but still manages to get caught by a running knee lift! Morganti whips Reynolds across the ring, and Reynolds ducks the clothesline, bouncing off of the ropes once more and drops Morganti with a beautiful crossbody! Reynolds rolls through and hooks the legs for a quick cover! ONE! TW-KICKOUT! Seth Ericson: Close! Reynolds almost picks up the quick victory! Dick Morosi: That was only a one and a half count, Seth. Seth Ericson: Closer than you’ve ever gotten with her! Ophelia kicks out of the quick cover and Reynolds smirks to the fans as she crawls to Morganti. Stryfe stands on the outside of the ring, calling for Reynolds to tag her in. Kitty sees her tag partner and grabs Ophelia by the hair, pulling her across the ring and tagging in Stryfe! Reynolds throws Morganti into the corner as both women begin to kick their opponent in the gut! Donovan can’t stand to see his partner getting taken advantage of and starts to slap the top turnbuckle, hoping to get the fans behind them, if only for this match! D’Artis steps in and pushes Reynolds out of the ring as she holds up her hands like she hadn’t done anything wrong. Stryfe looks over her shoulder at the furious Anthony with a smirk, and brings Ophelia out of the corner of the ring and SNAPS her down to the mat with a snapmare! As Ophelia sits on the mat, Stryfe steps back and flips over Morganti, hitting a picture perfect neckbreaker! Ophelia lies out on the mat once more and Stryfe hooks her leg as she falls down on top of her, looking out at the fans. ONE! TWO! TH- Donovan in the ring to break up the pinfall! Dick Morosi: Desperation break up by Anthony Donovan. Seth Ericson: Stryfe took all of that attack on her back! How dare he hit that poor woman! Dick Morosi: I think Katherine can take care of herself there, White Knight. Stryfe grabs her back as she rolls off of Morganti. D’Artis steps right up into Anthony’s face and SHOVES him out of the ring! Morganti rolls over and away from Stryfe, crawling slowly over to her ring corner. Stryfe sees Ophelia moving away and scrambles to her feet, still holding her back! Stryfe reaches for Morganti’s feet as she reaches out for Donovan to tag in…AND MAKES THE TAG! Dick Morosi: Hot tag to The Icon! The fans erupt as The Icon hits the ring like a bull and lays Katherine Stryfe down with a beautiful clothesline! Ophelia rolls out of the ring as Anthony races across the ring and bounces off of the ropes. Stryfe stands up just in time for Donovan to wrap his legs around her head and whip her to the mat with a Hurricanrana! Anthony rolls through to his feet, turning around and running a hand through his hair at the fans. He turns around again and drops down to cover Stryfe! ONE! TW-! Reynolds with the break up! Reynolds jumps on Donovan’s back, wrapping her arms around his head and latching on to him with her teeth! Ophelia jumps into the ring, but immediately gets stopped by D’Artis! Stryfe rolls out of the way in pain as Donovan drops to a knee! Dick Morosi: Total chaos in the ring now! Ophelia tries to get the referee’s attention on the action as Reynolds falls off of The Icon! Using the distraction, Reynolds swings her hand up, completely lifting Donovan off of the mat with a low blow! Morganti is obviously upset now and tries to duck on the ropes in time to have Johnson see the cheap shot, but Reynolds is already out of the ring with her hands in the air as if confused! Stryfe watches Donovan rolling around in pain and rolls him over for the cover! Johnson drops to the mat! ONE! TWO! THREE! The crowd is absolutely PISSED off as Reynolds rolls back into the ring to pick her tag partner up off of the mat! Anthony Donovan rolls out of the ring gingerly and collapses to the ground David Zinkus: Your winners The Beautiful Nightmare, Katherine Stryfe and Katherine Reynolds! Dick Morosi: Reynolds took advantage of her own distraction and CHEATED the newcomers out of a win! Seth Ericson: For a relative newcomer to the industry, Reynolds certainly has an eye for opening and took the shot she had! WINNERS: Katherine Reynolds & Katherine Stryfe |

She said:
"Robbed of my innocence, had no more time to play.

As the familiar opening cords to “My Little Phoenix” begins to play, the arena cuts to black before white strobe lights begin to dance around the arena. Snow begins to fall inside the ring as the shadow of Katherine Stryfe appears on the ramp draped in a hooded duster with a phoenix rising from the flames etched on the back; her head lowers as the music cuts to “Passive”.
[[Wake up and face me
Don't play dead 'cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way]]
Katherine walks slowly towards the ring, ignoring all the fans who are jeering her every movement, her head still lowered as she finally reaches the ring, walking slowly up the steps, Katherine touches the ropes with her fingertips before removing the hood, looking up at the rafters as a bit of the snow hits her face.
[[Leaning over you here
Cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
Of what you could and might have been
It's your RIGHT and your ability
To become my perfect enemy
Here she comes, here she comes.
I've been waiting for so long.
Here she comes
rose again from the flames
my little Phoenix]]
The song filters back and forth between the two of them as Katherine enters the ring and removes her duster, tossing it over the ropes and looks dead into the crowd, her eyes never blinking as a sick and twisted smile forms across her lips before finally letting out a primal scream.

Personal Info Name: Al Galpin Email:alan.galpin@gmail.com Previous Experience: Current fed-head of Pro-Wrestling FRONTIER. I’ve been doing this on and off with various characters (Tim Worthington, “The People’s Choice” August Joyce & Veronique most commonly) since ’99 in feds like Real Roleplayer Wrestling (RRW), Virtual Championship Wrestling (VCW), American eXtreme Ewrestling (AXE), Simcoe County Championship Wrestling (SCCW), International Grappling Alliance (IGA), Premier Wrestling and the Millennium Wrestling Alliance (MWA). I also ran the European Wrestling Foundation (EWF), Extreme Continental Wrestling Federation (ECWF), British Wrestling Alliance (BWA) and United Kingdom Wrestling Alliance (UKWA) as a string of feds that shared history from 1999 to 2004 as well as running the MWA for a period in 2010/11. IM’s: alan.galpin (AIM), dynamiteal79 (Yahoo!), Albie1979 (Skype), alan_glapin@hotmail.com (MSN)
Character Info Name: Tim Worthington Nickname: Dynamite Height: 6’3” Weight: 239 lbs Professional Debut: 5th July 2001 Hometown: Southampton, UK Alignment: Face (4 - see gimmick/personality for clarification)
Entrance Music: ”Mama Said Knock You Out” by Street Sweeper Social Club, with Cry Me A River & Brian Blessed Intro (www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MgYu_w6wt8&feature=youtu.be)
Entrance Description:
The lights dim in the arena as the James Bond-esque intro to Michael Bublé's “Cry Me A River” begins to play throughout the arena. After a moment the booming voice of Brian Blessed echoes around.
[div align="center"][font size="5"]The game's afoot;
Follow your spirit: and upon this charge, Cry
God for Harry! England and Saint George![/font][/div]
Suddenly Street Sweeper Social Club’s version of “Mama Said Knock You Out” kicks in as Tim Worthington appears through the entrance curtain.
[div align="center"][font size="5"]Don't call it a comeback
I been here for years
Rockin my peers and puttin suckas in fear
Makin the tears rain down like a MON-soon
Listen to the bass go BOOM[/font][/div]
Worthington makes his way to the ring with a black EXODUS t-shirt over the top of his all white ring gear. He is all smiles as he high-fives fans in the crowd on his way to the ring. He climbs the steps and climbs into the ring between the middle and top ropes.
<b>]David Zinkus:</b> Making his way to the ring from Southampton, England and weighing in at 239 lbs, “Dynamite” Tim Worthington!
Worthington climbs the turnbuckle in the far corner and holds his arms up to the cheers of the fans. He repeats this on the next turnbuckle, taking off his EXODUS t-shirt and tossing it into the crowd before jumping back down from the turnbuckle as his music fades.
Physical Appearance: Bearing a likeness to Bobby Fish, Tim has short brown hair which is beginning to recede. He’s commonly unshaven, preferring some “designer” stubble to being clean shaven. Big brown eyes and very expressive eyebrows (ie he can raise them a fair amount). Tim is a little larger build than other wrestlers of his size, mainly due to the fact he’s been out of the game for a while. He is aiming to bring this down over the coming months. Out of the ring Tim will always be seen in a smart grey suit, complete with waistcoat. Usually with a crisp white shirt, light blue tie and smart black shoes.
Ring Attire: White trunks, knee pads and boots. The trunks with a light blue “rising sun” design on the back. And he wears a black elbow pad on his right elbow.
Gimmick: Clean Cut Gentleman Personality: Never takes a cheap shot to gain the advantage. Never uses weapons and abhors anyone who does. Will often remove weapons from the ring if they are present. Will never attack another, will often be the person who comes out to “make the save” for a fellow good guy. Through these traits he often befriends those he helps. Hates cage matches, mainly since being thrown off of one back in 2002. Is keen on becoming a champion to prove to himself that he still has what it takes.
Strengths: * Extremely resilient – Known to be tough to put away for the three count, will continue to fight on, even through injury etc. * Great friendships – Found a tag partner/manager in August Joyce who helped reinvigorate Tim’s career. Also has several friends who are all wrestlers who help him train etc. * Top research – Will go to great lengths to study upcoming opponents but also review previous matches.
Weaknesses: * Totally Clean: May not sound like a weakness, but Tim won’t end a match ‘cheaply’- can lead to more work or even a beat down. * Out of the game for a while – Ring rust has become a big problem for Tim. * Depressive history – After the death of his family in 2007 Tim has had problems with depression. His mood sometimes drops, even when in the ring, and then his judgement can be impaired. I.e. taking risks he wouldn’t usually.
Finisher: Atlantic 24 [Elevated Boston Crab] Can be applied from standing, starting with a trip, or more commonly when the opponent is already down. With the opponent laying on their back Tim grabs both legs and twists, turning the opponent over. Tim prefers to leave the opponent slightly twisted, rather than turning them completely. He then leans backwards putting strain on the opponents back.
Secondary Finisher: Hope ‘n Glory [Fame Asser] Can be performed from standing position, after doubling over his opponent with a boot to the gut, or while running towards his opponent in a similar position. Also occasionally performed from the top rope.
Signature Moves: - Tilt-a-whirl Backbreaker - Sidewinder Lariat (Running Lariat to side of seated opponent’s head) - Sleep it Off (kick to the head/European uppercut/forearm/superkick combo) - Swandive Headbutt - Shining Triangle
General Move List: - Suplex (Vertical, Snap, Stalling, Tiger, German, Exploder, T-Bone, Sleeper) - Backbreaker - Lariat (Regular, Diving, Discuss, Rebound) - Figure Four Leglock - Ankle Lock - Springboard Moonsault - DDT (Reverse, Jumping) - Gutwrench Powerbomb - Spinebuster - Russian Leg Sweep - European Uppercut - Standing Wrist lock - Dragon Screw
Biography: Timothy James Worthington was born on Christmas Day 1979, only child of Emma Worthington. At school he excelled at sports, and in his mid teens he decided to follow up on his dream to become a professional wrestler, signing up with a wrestling academy in his home town of Southampton, run by Matt Montell, much to the disapproval of his mother.
From there he embarked on several academy tours across Europe. It was during one tour in Cyprus when Tim was involved in a hit and run incident, injuring his back and putting him out of action for over a year. During this time his mother passed away, and with Tim never knowing his father Matt Montell became more of a parental figure than trainer.
Worthington made his professional debut in a tag-team match at a show for the British Wrestling Alliance (BWA) on 5th July 2001. The match pitted Worthington and Montell against the team of “The Man” Ed Sharples and Alan Galpin. Montell helped Tim to get the pin over Galpin, which saw Worthington pick up the American eXtreme E-wrestling (AXE) Inter-Continental Championship.
Having won a title in his debut match Tim headed to the US and had a brief stint with the AXE. His first title reign did not last long, but it was a great learning experience. The AXE soon closed and Montell took Worthington all over the US, training with some of the most respected coaches and Indy feds around, before returning to the UK. Worthington remained in the US along with Montell’s friend, Hannah Kendall, who became Worthington’s best friend and manager.
It later transpired that Montell is actually Tim’s father and, at around the same time, Tim and Hannah became romantically involved. Tim also became Commissioner of the BWA, doing a favour for Hannah’s brother, BWA President Dean Kendall.
Tim got himself a contract with the Millennium Wrestling Alliance (MWA), but was dogged by a man known simply as “you-know-who”. This man had some kind of contract, and control over Worthington’s life. Only a title win could remove Tim from this contract. Worthington came close on several occasions to getting an MWA Title shot, narrowly missing out in a Battle Royal to Ran Smith and losing a close match with Josh Swanson, both for a Title Shot. Then MWA World Champion, Jackie Sweets, agreed to Tim having a shot at the title, and Tim almost came away with the win.
Tim didn’t give up though, and was given a shot at the MWA Heritage Championship and its owner, Lifeless Joe at the MWA Blackout Pay-Per-View in September 2002. But before the event, Hannah was abducted by you-know-who and Tim’s torment was increased. Tim won the match, and the title, freeing himself from the mystery contract. But all of that was for nothing, as Worthington was still left hunting the man who had his girl. Eventually Hannah was released, as her abductor vanished, and she returned to the UK to take over from Tim as BWA Commissioner.
Tim lost his Heritage Title to Johnny Grrrrr on 3rd November 2002 in a match were Tim believes he was screwed by the match official and G5′s friend, Shark Seavers. Tim went for revenge and challenged Johnny to a rematch, a Hell in a Cell match at Rising Sons in Tokyo, Japan on December 1st. Hannah returned from the UK, along with her daughter Emily, to support Tim for the match. Grrrrr used Worthington’s paranoia of his girlfriend’s safety to distract him and throw him from the top of the cell. Johnny won the match, retained the title, and Tim disappeared from the MWA for over four months.
At around this time Tim and Hannah became engaged, and soon after they were married. The BWA closed and, after time off to fully recover from his injury, Tim returned to the ring. After a month or two on the Indy circuit Tim was recruited for a second spell in the MWA. The return started well, with a series of victories, and Hannah announcing her pregnancy. But things were about to sour. Tim came face to face with Stephen Clay, a former lover of Hannah’s and father to young Emily. A bitter custody battle ensued, often spilling into the ring.
Around this time, Tim also had a chance at a re-match with Johnny Grrrrr, who was now MWA World Champion. Tim relished the opportunity, and came away victorious, having won his first World Heavyweight Title.
The situation with Stephen Clay had not died down, however. Clay and Worthington did battle on several occasions, most notably in a Hellmouth Cage match, where Tim defended the MWA Title. Eventually Clay and the Worthington’s worked out their differences, and reached a visitation agreement for young Emily. As the years rolled on the two would actually become friends.
Then came the New School Army, a group causing chaos throughout the MWA. Their leader, Kevin Rollins, was set on becoming the next MWA Champion and, with a little NSA help, he defeated Worthington for the title. Worthington felt hard done by, and demanded a re-match. He eventually got what he wanted, and regained the Championship.
The New School Army went quiet but, being the Champion, there was always someone out to get Tim. And this time it was a very familiar name… Lifeless Joe. The man that Tim had defeated for the Heritage Title the previous year. Joe had been out seriously injured ever since and saw this as a chance for revenge. Joe picked up a couple of wins over Tim, and was granted a Title Shot.
Hannah was now very near giving birth, and Tim feared that his Title defence in Tokyo would mean him missing his child’s birth. Hannah sailed to Japan, to be with her husband. During his match with Lifeless Joe at the Rising Sons Pay-Per-View, Tim’s phone beeped… a message. Tim rolled out of the ring to read it, and then walked up the aisle. MWA staff came to meet him, but Tim walked passed them and out of the arena. Tim walked away from the MWA Title to be at his wife’s side, as his son was being born. Lifeless Joe refused to accept the Title, feeling that he had not deserved it, and so it was vacated.
Tim returned to the UK with his new family. He kept a low profile for some months before he began to accept bookings with Tokyo Pure Wrestling in Japan. TPW had been impressed with his performance at Rising Sons as well as his strong family values and had offered him a full time deal. Worthington rose to the top of TPW and in February 2003 he defeated The Great Sato in a classic contest for the TPW Heavyweight Championship. Worthington held the title for almost six months before Tim had to return to the UK for personal reasons in August 2003. It was the second time he had vacated a title in Tokyo.
Soon the Kendall family again turned to Tim to help them. Hannah had joined her fathers’ new company, the United Kingdom Wrestling Alliance, as a board member. Tim also joined, as Commissioner. But Tim couldn’t resist the lure of the ring, and joined the Champions League tournament to crown the first UKWA Champion. Ring rust got the better of Tim in his three matches, and he won just one of them. He failed to qualify for the semi-finals.
Shane Pinex chose this as a time to poke fun at Tim, saying he was washed up. Tim responded and offered to face Pinex in the ring. Shane agreed, with one stipulation, if Tim lost he would retire from British Wrestling. Tim agreed, but once in the ring, he wished that he hadn’t. Pinex picked up the win, and Worthington’s career was ended.
But the story didn’t end there. The UKWA got into trouble with the MWA, and a legal battle ensued. Eventually the two companies decided that things should not be settled in a court of law, but in a wrestling ring. When Tim appeared on MWA television to announce the show “The Fallen Angel” Dante decided to poke more fun at Tim. Tim revealed that while he was retired from wrestling in Britain, he was still free to wrestle in the US.
The entire UKWA roster flew to Wisconsin, and did battle on 4th July 2004. It was to be the UKWA’s Independence Day. Tim Worthington made an emotional return to the MWA as he went one-on-one with Dante, a man who had evaded him for his entire career. Worthington picked up the win, but it was not enough to help the UKWA to victory. The show was tied, five wins each, and due to a clause in the events contract the MWA took control of their UK counterparts.
Tim returned to compete in the MWA once more, but his return was not only short lived but also did not yield much success. Tim decided to step back from active competition and became partially retired, only appearing in exhibition matches and performing ceremonial roles for the MWA. In 2005, along with old time rivals Kevin Rollins and Johnny Grrrrr, Worthington was inducted into the MWA Hall of Fame.
One of those exhibition matches was a dream Tag-Team match which saw Tim team with old friend Jackie Sweets against Steve Pinex and Tommy Danger. Later that night came a shocking turn of events, as Tim was acting as referee for the MWA Legacy Title match between Andersen and Veronique. Veronique, also known as Marcie du Toit, had been a friend of Tim’s for many years. But, little known to anyone, Andersen had some dirt on her, and used it to turn Tim against her.
It was revealed that Marcie, who suffered with memory loss, was actually romantically linked with Andersen while they were on a wrestling tour of Cyprus. Andersen revealed to Tim that Marcie was the driver involved in his hit and run incident all those years before. Tim and Andersen, along with Joey Phoenix, decimated Marcie on Pay-Per-View and forced her to leave the MWA.
Tim then went through a lot of personal torment. During the summer of 2007 his family was involved in a horrific car accident which ended in the death of his wife Hannah as well as his children Emily and Matthew. Tim slipped into a deep depression, but long time friend Marcie du Toit was there to help him. During the time that had passed since her departure from the MWA they two had reconciled and now she was intent on getting his life back on track, as he had once done for her.
Tim made a return to the MWA for a guest appearance in early 2011 but suffered an attack at the hands of Dan Divine and after this Worthington vowed never to step back into the ring. But a chance meeting with August Joyce in late 2011 changed his mind. Joyce, a long time Worthington fan, persuaded the Hall of Famer to give his career a new twist by teaming up with each other and attempting a comeback. A series of mysterious promos popped up around the MWA and in January 2012, at Rising Sons, the two made their first appearance together.
Around the same time Tim also signed with PREMIER Wrestling, the UK regional promotion of the National Wrestling Alliance (NeWA). It had been eight years since Tim last competed in the UK, due to his career ending loss to Shane Pinex. But with the amount of time passed, as well as the passing of Pinex himself, Tim decided that it was time to step foot back in a British ring. He made his debut in a four person Battle Royal in Birmingham in March 2012 but didn’t return to a PREMIER ring due to differences of opinions with management.
Back in the MWA Rising Sons never did capture the Tag-Team Championships and eventually Tim decided that he needed to step away and let August continue his career solo. After a match of the year candidate against fellow Brit Kacy Knight, Tim’s last MWA contest was against Carolyn Baker in May 2012.
For the following twelve months Tim toured the world doing conventions, book signings and the occasional appearance for Pro-Wrestling FRONTIER and for Tokyo Pure Wrestling; including a tag match with old friend Ren Itou against the War Tigers on the last ever TPW show in November 2012.
Now (April 2013) Tim is gearing up for a return to the ring and is accepting bookings. In the MWA Tim was a hero, someone who had reached the very top. But outside the MWA Tim was a relative unknown. So Tim has vowed to join a new promotion, start at the bottom and make a name for himself all over again!

Also, if someone can step in and correct my mistake, we need a third judge for the tag title match.  |

Personal InformationName: Jonathan Email: abandonyourfriends@gmail.comPrevious E-Wrestling Experience: Don't ask, it's been a long time. Instant Messenger Names (MSN, AIM, Yahoo): my biggest fears (aim), revolution_man16@hotmail.com (MSN)Character InfoName: Jonathan Collins Height: 6'3 Weight: 212 lbs. Hometown: Anaheim, CA Alignment: +3 (Jonathan Collins works an in-ring style that can go into a moral gray area, but other than that, people genuinely love the guy and he loves them back. He's really a great guy.) Entrance Music: "Last Man Standing" by People In Planes Entrance Description:
The lights dim in the arena as the organ for the start of a song begins.
[div align="center"][font size="5"]I am the last man, stand, survivor
I am the last man home.
I'll be the last man, stand, survivor
I'll be the last man home...[/font][/div]
The lights in the arena are dark, save for a few at the entrance way as they start to illuminate for the silhouette of one man. As "Last Man Standing" by People In Planes continues to play, finally kicking in with drums and full band, they finally fully light up to show Jonathan Collins in his gear and ring jacket, his trademark sleeveless long hoodie! Walking down the ramp slowly, he looks completely focused as he slowly makes his way to the ring. Sliding into the ring, he climbs one corner's turnbuckles and looks out to the crowd, starting to flip his hood back as he stays in place while surveying the crowd.
Physically similar to Milo Ventimiglia, Collins skin looks a little scarred from his time in the ring, in addition to laser surgery to remove serveral tattoos he no longer has interest in speaking about. With dark hair of fair length, Collins also prefers to have a little stubble on his face to none. Even if Collins has removed several tattoos, he keeps two tattoos on his body. One is the name "Madison" on his right wrist, and the other is a quote on the side of his ribcage which says "I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep." Ring Attire: Jonathan Collins wears baggy shorts similar to what other indy wrestlers (most notably Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) have been known for wearing. HIs typical colors are black, silver, and maroon, which is noted in all of his gear. One of his shorts legs will have his new "ZERO Hour" logo, and his black boots with silver and maroon kick pads are typically adorned with his initials. He also wears black elbow pads and tapes both fists in long style, similar to CM Punk. His left fist, the one he uses for his ZERO Hour finisher, also has a 0 with a line drawn through it, signifying that it's indeed the fist he uses for the move. His entrance costume is a long jacket without sleeves and with a hood in black and silver. Gimmick: Last of a dying breed meets grizzled veteran meets a Batman-esque archetype. No, seriously. You'll understand eventually. Personality: There's really two Jonathan Collins you can encounter. There's the in-ring and out of ring. And sometimes (most of the time), the two can be encountered at the opposite time. Outside of the ring, Jon is well-educated, charming, witty, and he's actually kind of pleasant to be around. He's well-spoken, soft spoken, and everything you'd expect from a guy with a college education and a former English teacher. In the ring, Jon can be cold and clinical. He's reached the point where he's aware that it's a business. Unless he's in a rivalry with you, nothing he does is personal, and every move is made as such. Oh, but then there's THIS issue. Jonathan Collins is...not so nice to those who would dare rain down harm on him and those who he loves. Though he is by no means a deathmatch junkie, Jon has competed in several of them, and none of them by choice. However, his success in these matches has also earned him the nickname "the King of Violence." This has transformed to "The Saint of Violence" since his return to the ring, all because Jonathan Collins will go to those darker, violent places if pushed to the limit. If someone would dare make the fight that personal or bring a clear and present danger to his world, he will return it in kind...and then some. List up to three strengths of your character; they can be in-ring related, personality related, whatever you think helps define your character:1. Unafraid to travel into the gray area. The places babyfaces more valiant than him won't go, he will. His knowledge of the rulebook makes it easy for him to push them to the farthest letter of the law without breaking them...though if nobody's looking, all bets are off. 2. Concise. Jonathan Collins wastes little movement. Every move is done with a purpose, designed to exploit weaknesses. 3. Smart. Really smart. The guy was not only an educator, but as a student of the game, he knows his stuff. Collins is the type of guy who knows how to work a few steps ahead and make everything work to his advantage. His brain is a cloud storage for professional wrestling, its styles, and how to work any and all of them. List up to three weaknesses of your character:1. Right knee. Years of his in-ring style have taken their toll on his knee, leaving it open for the right submissions. Carry him out long enough and it might be hard to use it, especially when it comes to hitting one of his biggest go-to moves, The Parallax Shock. 2. "The Button." Everyone's got one, it's just that his happens to be his friends and family. At his best, Jonathan is clinical in the ring, separating his emotions from his actions. Threaten his friends and family (like Jimmy Riley or Fiona Rourke, especially his daughter Madison), and all bets are off. 3. Time. Time is the great equalizer, and it's catching up on Jonathan Collins. In his mid-30's, Jonathan has already resigned himself to his fate that it's catching up on him, and a stronger and faster competitor can really get into his head and exploit that. Younger speedsters (like Alex Brooks or Fiona Rourke) would run circles around him, leaving him having to catch them to become the one who dictates the pace. Biography: What hasn't been said about Jonathan Collins through the course of sixteen years? Six-time World Champion. Multiple time secondary and tertiary champion, and eight-time tag team champion, along with countless accolades for being loved and hated. Throughout his sixteen years that have been touched by pro wrestling, Collins is haunted by some of his greatest achievements and worst mistakes. The protege of the malevolent Hal "ZERO" Snyder, Jonathan Collins was trained to be a cold hearted killer, a ruthless ring machine. Snyder had looked to Collins to be his successor, the heir apparent to his throne as "The Perfect Evil." If you ask some of his former opponents and friends, it looked like that was entirely justified as well. Collins was walking pestilence, having been a cancer in several places he had been until deciding to forge a new path after meeting Helena Benes. A woman so unselfish and so loving of Jonathan Collins, she began to send him down a path of redemption. Between her, the help of Jon's former best friend Michael Trey, his best friend Darrin Stearns, and the birth of his daughter, Jonathan Collins began forging a path where he became not just one of the best wrestlers in NEW history, but one of the most beloved wrestlers in the world. He was a good man, a family man, and he was Rufus Frost's future World Champion. Life has a funny way of changing sometimes. In late 2003, Helena Benes was a fatality in a car crash, leaving Jonathan Collins alone. With Trey and Stearns retired from the business, Jonathan became an island until he found a new friend to forge a path with, Andrew Ashton. Teaming with him and Trevor Wrath to form The Infinite, Collins continued down his path to be a good man, raising his daughter with the help of friends and his brother Robbie. Collins' dream was realized when he finally claimed his one and only NEW World Title, a dream turned into the nightmare by the betrayal of Drew. Shortly after, NEW folded and Jonathan decided that with its closing, he would end his career. Finishing his education, Jonathan became a high school teacher, teaching English and creative writing to the young minds in the world. Pro wrestling became an afterthought to him...at least for the first four years. The older Madison got, the more curious she became about her father's background, and it culminated in Jonathan becoming a temporary masked wrestler and working tiny shows on the weekends. It wasn't much though, and it was enough to sate the itch. When the itch became too much in July of 2012, Collins returned to action. And when he came back to pro wrestling, he found out just how hard it was to shake off ghosts. Wrestling Style: American Jr. Heavyweight Finishers1. OMEGA-16 (Jumping Complete Shot transitioned into a Koji Clutch. Innovated this, says he passed it on to "a friend.") 2. ZERO Hour (running spinning backfist. By running, he backs up and charges forward for it) 3. Endless Waltz (double jump phoenix splash, DESPERATION FINISH ONLY. If you're going to use it, treat it like a nuke, because that's basically what it is.) Signature Moves1. End of Silence (Rydeen Bomb) 2. Parallax Shock (Shining Wizard) 3.

Here's the final set of news going into Invincible! - Jonathan Collins just broke the news on Twitter! Should he lose to Kliff Ulysses, he will be exiled from EXODUS! However, should he win, Ulysses will be forbidden to receive any title matches as long as he is in the company!
- In other Invincible news, the main event is set! Champion Fiona Rourke makes her V3 defense of the Heavyweight Title (Her V2 is coming at a KJPW event, a date and opponent to be determined) against Magnus Gunner in a Chairshot Survival match! The rules are simple; similar to a Last Man Standing match, the shot to put down your opponent must contain a chair shot within the offensive move. With Gunner's obsession with the object and Fiona's willingness to use it in recent events, a steel chair will be the very item that determines the fate of the EXODUS Pro Heavyweight Title!
- In case you missed the news, EXODUS Pro will be sending Rourke, Gunner, Abby Park, and Steve Lenton on the next tour KJPW is holding! Because of the cultural differences in Japan, Park and Rourke will be confined to one another's matches, leading to an interesting situation with all their matches!
- Heather Halliwell was diagnosed with a mild concussion after the attack from Magnus Gunner on E-Pro Television #7. She will be fine and cleared for action at Invincible! |

1) Fiona Rourke (Last Show: 3)
It's hard to dispute that no wrestler in EXODUS has been on a roll quite like Fiona Rourke. After a temporary derailing at March of War, Rourke has come out swinging at everyone in her way, including the #1 contender, Magnus Gunner. If you didn't think she's firing on all cylinders, her decisive victory over Jerry Matthews on E-Pro Television helped her case. Now on a collision course with Magnus Gunner at Invincible, Rourke is ready to prove that she will not be Gunner's victim.
2) Magnus Gunner (Last Show: 4)
There's at least a reason to believe this set of rankings should have Gunner at the top slot. Though he didn't walk out victorious, Magnus Gunner may have done something nobody else in EXODUS Pro has managed to do - expose the dark side of Fiona Rourke. After breaking her down mentally, he finally managed to convince Fiona Rourke to swing a chair at him. Now with Invincible two weeks away, Magnus Gunner looks to use what seems to be a psychological edge on The Strong Style Seraph to take her down and claim the EXODUS Pro Heavyweight Title.
3) Heather Halliwell (Last Show: NR)
From a Twitter Invitational competitor to a big winner, Heather Halliwell came out victorious this weekend against Magnus Gunner. Though it probably wasn't the way she wanted, Halliwell still managed to pick up a victory and gain valuable momentum for her upcoming International Title match against Dom Harter and Ryuji Kamigawa.
4) Johnny Cannon (Last Show: 2)
Cannon slips two spots, but only because of the competiton being that good this week. Cannon managed to win over the EXODUS faithful by cutting a heartfelt promo in front of the crowd and picking up a huge victory over Kliff Ulysses and Kameron Chase with the help of Abby Park. Finishing his match standing tall with her and Director Jonathan Collins, Cannon can now look forward to claiming Tag gold with Abby Park in a TLC match at Invincible!
5) Abby Park (Last Show: 1)
Again, it's not a poor performance that knocked Abby Park down four spots this set of rankings. Park and Cannon did their best to unleash a fury of offense on Kameron Chase and Kliff Ulysses and stand tall with the EXODUS Director. Now, with the tag titles in sight, Abby Park looks to gain a measure of revenge on LEGION, the faction that cost her the chance to be EXODUS Pro Heavyweight Champion.
6) Steve Lenton (Last Show: 9)
Whose house? THE BIG L'S HOUSE! Steve Lenton had the crowd firmly behind him and Justin Brooks as they went to war against Daisuke Iwakuma and Gouken Haroshi. The two men stood firm and tall as they took themselves to the pay window in a most victorious manner. Invincible now stands only two weeks away, and with both Lenton and Brooks seemingly firing on all cylinders together as friends and teammates, it's entirely possible both he and Justin Brooks may exit Invincible the new Tag Team Champions.
7) Justin Brooks (Last Show: NR)
"The Big Bad Brooks" returned to EXODUS Pro in style, picking up a huge victory in tag team action! Fans all over the RIMAC put Brooks' stalled debut behind him, getting behind him and Steve Lenton. After their big victory, the two may have been attacked by LEGION and their newest masked man, but Brooks has still made it crystal clear...he's coming back to EXODUS and he's not leaving until he's as successful as he has been in the past.
8) Erin Daniels (Last Show: NR)
The wife of Kameron Chase made an impact in her E-Pro Television debut, taking out the mysterious V and seemingly ending his stay in the company. Daniels had an impressive victory over the man, and now sets her sight on Invincible, where she looks to be in a match against LEGION's masked man known as The Dream Catcher, in addition to another masked mercenary, Harakiri. Can she pull out all the stops, especially considering the loyalty both her opponents now seem to have toward Daisuke Iwakuma.
9) Jerry Matthews (Last Show: NR)
Breaking into the top 10 for the first time is Reverend Jerry Matthews! Though Matthews wasn't victorious against Heavyweight Champion Fiona Rourke, Matthews certainly put on a fine display in his match, proving that he has what it takes to compete with some of the best. Though he wasn't good enough to take down The Strong Style Seraph, Matthews has a chance to add the San Diego Bay title to his collection and become the title's first holder at Invincible!
10) Harakiri (Last Show: NR)
Rounding out the top 10 is Harakiri, who breaks in with a victory over Anya Makarov. The man who was promised by his handler, Jamie Essex, to tip the scales in favor of EXODUS or LEGION made his debut a victorious one, which was more than enough to attract the attention of Daisuke Iwakuma. Now on a collision course with Erin Daniels and The Dream Catcher at Invincible, Harakiri looks to continue making a huge statement on his road in EXODUS.
