Singles Match
Daniel Prophet vs. Ryuji Kamigawa
Dick Morosi: A newcomer up next; Ryuji Kamigawa, the hired gun from Japan!
Seth Ericson: I've been waiting to see this guy! I want to see what he's capable of; I could pay a pretty penny and have you taken out, Dick! Get a new partner!
Dick Morosi: I see...wonder if I can pay him more...
Seth Ericson: You shut right up!
The lights dim, almost to total darkness. A loud static plays over the loudspeaker. It's dense and hypnotic, but somehow off. The static gets louder. A cacophony of images, all black and white, flashes on the big screen. A dark street. A puff of smoke. A man in shadows getting closer and closer and closer.
WELCOME TO MY WORLD
"War" hits as Daniel Prophet enters, with trenchcoat, fedora and a look in his eyes that is hungry for blood. He stands int he center of the ring, looks down and raises one fist on the air. This is is is ground; this is his territory. He takes off his coat, leans against the turnbuckle and lights a cigarette.
Dick Morosi: Daniel Prophet hasn't had the best few weeks, on a bit of a losing streak lately.
Seth Ericson: He's no chump, though. Prophet's a tough customer, I like his style...doesn't take any crap.
"Cry For The Dark" by Galneryus hits the speakers of the RIMAC Arena, heralding the arrival of EXODUS Pro's hired gun, Ryuji Kamigawa. As per usual, he marches out from the back down the aisle in his signature white tuxedo and black bowtie, dark sunglasses on his face. He pays no attention to the mixed reaction of the crowd, nor, for that matter, even his own ring introduction, opting to simply slide underneath the bottom ring rope and pop up in a neutral corner, cracking his knuckles to prepare for the task at hand.
Dick Morosi: Ryuji Kamigawa, wearing those sunglasses...all the time, apparently.
Seth Ericson: Would you want to look at these people without a filter? Hell, Dick, you already do! Poor bastard.
Dick Morosi: Would you take those off!?
The bell rings, and the two men circle; Prophet approaches, but Kamigawa stuns him with a palm strike, then immediately goes on the attack! Before Daniel knows what's hit him, he's caught and thrown with a belly-to-belly suplex; Ryuji is up quick and strikes with a jumping leg drop to follow up!
Dick Morosi: Kamigawa with the quick start here, and Daniel Prophet is already in trouble!
Prophet is picked up, and shoved into the corner, where Kamigawa take a moment to hit a Mongolian chop before irish whipping him across to the opposite corner! Prophet stumbles back toward the center of the ring, where he's met with a big standing headbutt from his Japanese foe! Back down on the mat, Prophet clutches his head as Ryuji steps back to the ropes, coming off and jumping into the air with a pump splash!
Seth Ericson: I love this guy already, shows no mercy at all!
Kamigawa stands back up, waiting for a moment as Prophet tries to pull himself to his feet. The crowd is still unsure how to react to the hitman, who hasn't played to or taunted them as of yet. As Prophet gets to one knee, Kamigawa takes off to the ropes, coming back and absolutely LEVELING the stunned Daniel with his arm!
Dick Morosi: The Aya-Chan Bomber! Daniel Prophet looked out on his feet, now he looks out on his back! Kamigawa positioning him for...oh my...
Seth Ericson: HAH! He's heading up top, Kamigawa's gonna squash him like a bug!
Indeed, Ryuji Kamigawa has now steadily worked his way up to the top, before...somewhat...gracefully flipping backwards onto the prone detective!
Dick Morosi: TEN KARA – FROM HEAVEN! Stays on top...one...two...AND THREE!
The bell rings, as Kamigawa hops to his feet, taking a moment to adjust his sunglasses before the referee raises his hand. “Cry For The Dark” starts back up, and the hired gun heads back over to his corner, grabbing his bottle of champagne, and taking a swig as he exits the ring.
Dick Morosi: Absolutely impressive win here by Ryuji Kamigawa in his debut! Definitely one to look out for in the future, Seth.
Seth Ericson: Hey! Come over here! I've got an offer for ya!
Dick Morosi: STOP THAT!
WINNER: Ryuji Kamigawa

Backstage, in the medical room, one of the trainers is attending to Jafreese Frazier. But that's not that important. On the table next to him, recovering from taking an Angel Arm, is EXODUS Pro owner Rufus Frost. The door opens, and in comes Jonathan Collins. Collins, with a bit of a look of worry on his face seeing the wounded already piling up, nods to his protege before walking over to Rufus' side. Jonathan Collins: How're you doing, boss? Rufus, still shaken up, is cognizant enough to look at his Director. Rufus Frost: I've been better, but I'll survive. I think this has gone quite far enough, Jon. This LEGION is overstepping their boundaries, and I'm not sure how much more of this you, me, or EXODUS can take. Jon gets a quizzical look on his face as he sits in a chair that happens to be next to the bed Rufus is laying on. Jonathan Collins: I'm not sure I understand, Rufus. What do you have in mind? Rufus Frost: Before I took that shot, I had a lot of things in mind...but one came to me laying here. You've got some things you need to deal with, and I'm not sure running off to Fiji, or signing with Frontier Grappling Arts is going to do it. So here's my offer, only once, you take it or leave it...the leash comes off. There's a moment where even Collins doesn't quite understand what's being said to him...but as soon as it clicks, his eyes light up. Jonathan Collins: If you're sure about this- Rufus Frost: I'm not saying your EXODUS army can't take care of this, Jon...but sometimes you have to handle things yourself. I feel this might be one of them. Jonathan nods. Jonathan Collins: Consider your offer accepted. I have some work to do. Rufus offers up a half-smile. Rufus Frost: It's not forever...but it's long enough to get this job done. You don't worry about me, I'll be fine here. Jonathan gets up, offering his hand to his boss. Jonathan Collins: You won't regret it, Rufus. Rufus Frost: I never do. The two shake, and Jon almost runs out of the trainer's room. Backstage, Tom Matheny stands in the interview area, his expression a little apprehensive as he moves closer to Katherine Reynolds. His nervousness isn't due to her, however, but the blond man sitting on the edge of the equipment case directly behind her. His fingers are running through her long auburn curls, tugging a few and getting her to smile as she faces Tom. Tom Matheny: I... I'm backstage here tonight with Katherine Reynolds who has a big tag match tonight with Magnus Gunner as her partner from LEGION, against the team of Heather Halliwell and Dom Harter. Tom swallows nervously as Daisuke looks up from his play and tilts his head just slightly to the right. Tom Matheny: Also with us is one half of the EXODUS Pro Tag Team Champions The Ninth Gate, Daisuke Iwakuma. Katherine giggles softly as Tom remains uncomfortable, then she leans back against Daisuke's chest and lifts a hand to let her fingertips trail along his handsome jawline. Then she leans out a bit, toward the microphone. Katherine Reynolds: Yes I do, but I wouldn't call this a big tag match, Tom. This is what happens when people disrespect LEGION, yes. Tag match, not so much. Daisuke smirked just a little and then moved his lips next to Katherine's ear, whispering to her. Her sharp keen expression faded to one of stillness and calm, almost blank. Her voice became eerily level and clear. Katherine Reynolds: EXODUS Assemble. Two small words, for small minded people to rally around, people who are to afraid to embrace the truth that LEGION reveals. Why stand up against us when you know, deep down in your hearts that Daisuke is the way to salvation from the mediocrity that infests your lives and wrestling careers? You, Dom Harter. What reason do you have to stand behind Jonathan Collins, the man that keeps what is rightfully yours away from you? You, Heather Halliwell. You want the spotlight, you want to be a hero? Opposing LEGION is not your path to glory, trying to call any one of us a weak link is the stupidest thing that could come out of your mouth. Shut up and listen closely. You want Dom to be successful and happy, right? Then why do you stand with the man that would hold him back and step on him, take away what he earned? Katherine paused, turning just slightly to nuzzle Daisuke's face, then back to the camera. His hand was woven tightly in her hair, tugging just enough to make her nod. Katherine Reynolds: Come talk to Daisuke, Dom. Listen to his words for yourself, and make an informed decision. Tom Matheny: But what about the despicable actions of LEGION and what happened to... Daisuke held a hand up to Tom, effectively shutting him up as Katherine reached up to pluck the microphone from his hand and hold it up like a prize to him. Daisuke Iwakuma: You will all see, the truth that I speak as the future of EXODUS Pro unfolds. We are LEGION, and we are many. Katherine dropped the microphone and they both walk away, Daisuke's hand still firmly wrapped in her auburn curls. "Hot Stuff" by Donna Summers begins to play over the PA system and out from the back steps an unknown Caucasian man with a bronze tan, brown spiky hair, and Oakley sunglasses perched upon his face. He's wearing a grey button up shirt (with the top two buttons unbuttoned), dark jeans with rhinestones along the back pockets, and black boots with small studs on them.
WHO THE <BLEEP> ARE YOU?
WHO THE <BLEEP> ARE YOU?
David Zinkus: Ladies and gentlemen…please welcome…"HOT STUFF" JOHNNY BLAYZE.
Dick Morosi: Johnny Blayze, he's from FGA -- Frontier Grappling Arts -- they had a DVD taping last night...but I'm not sure what he's doing here!
Johnny Blayze makes his way down to the ring strutting to his music and blowing kisses at the female fans on both sides of the aisle.
Seth Ericson: Well he's definitely endearing himself to the ladies in the crowd tonight! Kind of a suck up, if you ask me.
Dick Morosi: Oh stop it.
Blayze climbs into the ring and shakes hands with Jonathan Collins who hands him the microphone.
Johnny Blayze: WHAT UP, SAN DIEGO!
The crowd pops cheaply at the sound of their hometown being mentioned.
Johnny Blayze: Now I know a lot of you may not know me since I've never graced this side of the country for a wrestling event but that's about to change.
Crowd pops somewhat slowly giving favor to this new face.
Johnny Blayze: Because when I heard that EXODUS Pro had a vacant title on it's hands, I knew opportunity was ripe for the taking. AND when I found out my main man, Dom Harter was looking at that same fifteen pounds of gold….
He throws his hands up in the air in excitement.
Johnny Blayze: WOO! I jumped on the private jet Johnny C had waiting for me and I hightailed it straight here….not even a stop at SeaWorld.. the USS Midway.. OR Petco Park.
Louder pop as the fans see this man knows where a good time is to be had in San Diego.
Johnny Blayze: So Dom Harter…if you think ANY EXODUS Pro title is coming home with you….
He pulls off the sunglasses.
Johnny Blayze: WOO! Then you're in La-La land. Because just like I did in FGA, I'm going to ruin your plans REAL quick.
He motions his hands around his waist.
Johnny Blayze: That belt you got your eyes set on…. it's might look real…real…REAL good along this slim, trim waist of mine.
BLAYZE!
BLAYZE!
BLAYZE!
He keeps motioning around his waist as the crowd chants for him.
Johnny Blayze: I'll see all of you on April 7th!
Blayze drops the mic as "Hot Hot Hot" starts up again, and he parades around the ring as we head to a commercial break. |

#1 Contender's Match
Harmonious Revolution vs the Knights of Anarchy
David Zinkus: The next match is scheduled for one fall, and is the number one contender's match for the EXODUS Pro Tag Team Championships. Introducing first, the team of Tiami Tyler and Jessica Robertson... the HARMONIOUS REVOLUTION!
"Innocence" by Royz hits the PA as the team of #HarmoniousRevolution walks out on stage. The pair smile, hi five and then head to the ring, talking with the fans and posing for the crowd. They get on the apron and smile, then head in the ring awaiting their opponents.
"Right Now" by Van Halen begins its slow build as the crowd leaps to their feet, wildly cheering. The lights stay dim, and then fade up slowly as an orange spotlight illuminates the ramp. Two figures walk out slowly, standing back to back with their heads down and then raise their arms slowly as the lights gradually get brighter. At the precise moment the singing begins, Gowan leaps in the air, doing a high kick before sprinting towards the ring. Soaking up the approval of the fans he makes his way to the ring, followed by the more sedate Chauncy, both slapping hands with fans as they pass.
(Right now) Hey! It's your tomorrow
(Right now) Come on, it's everything
(Right now) Catch your magic moment
Do it right here and now
It means everything!
Gowan jumps up on the apron and then springboards over the top rope while Chauncy takes his time with the steps, pausing to wipe his feet on the apron. Both scale the turnbuckles and thrust their fists in the air as the crowd gives a huge pop!
David Zinkus: And their opponents, hailing from sunny San Dimas, California, please welcome Chauncy Nottingham and Larry Gowan, together they are the KNIGHTS OF ANARCHY!
Dick Morosi: And here we have two strong teams, world renowned teams, looking to get the next crack at the Tag Team Championships.
Seth Ericson: And things are underway Dick!
Gowan and Tiami circle the ring for the initial tie up as the bell sounds. Double T quickly locks him into a headlock, only to be assaulted a series of elbows to the midsection that forces her to relinquish her grasp. Immediately taking a grasp of the arm, Gowan attempts to whip her across the ring. Demonstrating her athleticism, Tiami uses the momentum to maneuver into a cartwheel. As he returns to standing, Gowan charges straight at her, his aggression leading to him being pulled down into a small package. Before the referee can make the count, Gowan already breaks free.
Dick Morosi: I reckon we’ll see a lot of quick falls in this one Seth as these two teams try to earn that championship bid.
Seth Ericson: And if you’re the Harmonious Revolution, you have to bait these guys into lowering their guards.
The first to his feet, Gowan pulls Tiami up to a vertical base, only catching a series of punches to the solar plexus for his efforts. In retaliation he lays into her with a forearm that dizzies her, before Irish whipping her across the ring. Upon rebounding, she leaps into the air, grappling him around the head in an attempt to swing her down for the tornado DDT. Gowan latches his arms around her waist, preventing himself from being driven down. Shifting his grip, he places an arm around her head, locking her in a front facelock before leaning back, snapping her down with a quick Suplex.
Dick Morosi: Great counter from Gowan right there. The strength advantage the Knights have will be difficult for Tiami and Co. to overcome!
Seth Ericson: Yes because men are obviously superior to women in every way.
Dick Morosi: You do realize two women are competing in the main event for the EXODUS World Championship tonight Seth?
Seth Ericson: Yes but I pretend to forget.
Tiami crawls into the nearby corner, a hand gingerly tending to her lower back as she begins to pull herself up. Gowan charges right in, only to be driven into the ring post by Double T who deftly maneuvers out of the corner. Tending to his injured shoulder, Gowan slowly staggers out of the corner, spinning around to a thunderous forearm shot that knocks him down into the corner. Continuing her assault, Tiami commences to lay the boots to him, stomping a mudhole in the Californian’s chest. The referee quickly steps in, administering a five count, shouting at Tyler to retract from the corner.
“ONE”
“TWO”
“THREE”
“FOUR”
Tyler retreats from the corner, wiping sweat from her brow as Jessica cheers her on from the corner. Looking to maintain the advantage, Tiami charges straight at the corner, leaping end with extended legs, tattooing Gowan’s face with a picture perfect dropkick that rattles his brain.
Dick Morosi: Tiami is bringing it tonight! She’s leaving it all in the ring.
Seth Ericson: A chance at the Tag Team Titles, and more importantly a chance to possibly take on the Ninth Gate hangs in the balance. She’s not going to leave anything in the tank Dick!
Tiami drags Gowan to his feet, quickly whipping him across the ring to the ropes. Instead of rebound he hooks his arms on the top cable, stopping his momentum and preventing Double T from following up. Refusing to let up, Tyler charges straight at Gowan, receiving a back elbow to the jaw the rocks her world. She staggers back in retreat, holding her down as she tries to shake the cobwebs. Unbeknownst to her, Chauncey Nottingham slides from his corner, tapping Gowan on the shoulder, the referee acknowledging the tag. Upon catching his breath Gowan charges at Tiami, quickly attempting a Clothesline which Tyler ducks; the tenacious spitfire quickly making a dash for the ropes, but as she leans in she’s caught by a well timed kick to the upper back. Nottingham’s blow forces her staggering forward, into Gowan’s waiting arms. He quickly lifts her into the air, before bringing her down with a stupendous Spinebomb Slam. By now Chauncey has ascended the top rope, motioning to the crowd who cheers loudly in response to the back and fourth action. From there, Nottingham leaps from the top rope, crashing down onto Tiami’s body with his full frame with a splash, followed by an immediate lateral press.
“ONE”
“TWO”
Tyler is able to roll a shoulder over, breaking up the pinfall.
Dick Morosi: Great teamwork from the Knights of Anarchy right there. They call that California Dreaming Seth, and any second later and the Revolution’s championship dreams would have been shattered.
Seth Ericson: And such an outcome would have been anything but harmonious for those two harlots.
Dick Morosi: I see what you did there Seth. Very clever.
Seth Ericson: I’m here til… well, whenever Frost stops writing my checks.
Chauncey quickly lifts Tiami up to her feet, before lifting her up for a Vertical Suplex. With an athletic, artful counter, she swings her nearest leg, blasting him in the face and forcing him to drop her down. Upon catching her footing, she charges and leaps forward with a Crossbody, only to be caught in mid air. Nottingham swings her to once side, before throwing her to the other, quickly slamming her into the canvas with an authoritative counter, Having flattened her with his trademark Grounded For Life, he goes for the cover.
“ONE”
“TWO”
Tiami manages to roll a shoulder up again to break the count. As Nottingham goes to lift her up, she fires off with a series of shots to the forehead, sending him reeling back. In desperate need of making a tag, she slowly crawls toward her corner. Chauncey grabs onto her, refusing to allow her to do such a thing. Tyler struggles to her feet, hopping on one leg before turning toward him. She quickly leaps up, planting her boot into his chest, the momentum freeing her and sending her rolling into her corner where she makes the tag. Jessica quickly leaps into the ring, immediately dodging a clothesline from a Nottingham before making a mad dash to the corner. She drives her forearms straight into Gowan, dropping the Canadian to a knee on the apron.
As she spins around, Nottingham comes charging in, only to have nobody home as quickly maneuvers out of the corner. Making another blind tag, Gowan climbs up and slaps him on the shoulder, just as Chauncey staggers out of the corner and catches a lightning quick Superkick.
Dick Morosi: She took his head off Seth! My god what a kick that was!
Seth Ericson: Yeah but I don’t think she saw the tag!
Jessica quickly goes for the cover, a futile pin attempt as the referee doesn’t make the count. She looks up in confusion, but by the time she’s come to realize what transpired, she’s receiving a stiff kick to the head from an incoming Gowan. She rolls off of Nottingham, and immediately goes limp on the canvas from the well placed kick. With haste Gowan goes for cover.
“ONE”
“TWO”
Jessica kicks out as the crowd explodes, complete captivated by the intense contest.
Seth Ericson: I thought that was over for sure Dick! I’ll give it to these girls. They’re made from more than sugar and spice!
Gowan quickly lays into Jessica with a series of forearms to the head, keeping her at bay. Looking to put the match away once and for all, he marches to the corner, slowly ascending the proverbial mountain. Once he reaches the summit, he is prevented from finishing her off as Tiami charges across the apron and grabs onto his leg. Having recovered, Jessica climbs back to her feet, repeatedly clubbing him across the back to soften him up. She motions to Double T, who climbs back inside the ring. Without a moment to waste they pull him off the turnbuckle with a Double Powerbomb that shakes the ring.
Dick Morosi: “ICY DREAMS!”
Jessica drapes an arm over Gowan’s shoulder, and this one is over.
“ONE”
“TWO”
“THREE”
David Zinkus: The winners of this match… the HARMONIOUS REVOLUTION!

It was an important night for Ryuji Kamigawa, with his EXODUS Pro debut on the cards later in the evening against Daniel Prophet. But EXODUS' white-tuxedo-clad hitman for hire hadn't yet made his way over to his lounge/office. Instead, upon his arrival at the RIMAC Arena, he'd made a beeline for one office in particular. It was the office of the man whom he owed his EXODUS contract to – and the office of a man that his chosen career path was likely to piss off at some point, sooner rather than later. As he arrived at the door to Jonathan Collins' office, Kamigawa rapped on the door – hard – once, twice, three times, before awaiting a response.
Jonathan Collins: It's open! Come on in.
Kamigawa-san indeed came in, three or four powerful strides bringing him within feet of Collins. Ryuji snapped off a crisp, clean bow, and then extended his hand for a more conventional, Western greeting. Ryuji Kamigawa: Good evening, Mr. Collins. I hope that all is well?
Collins instantly returned the bow and a smile, then taking his hand and shaking it.
Jonathan Collins: Naturally. So far, none of the chaos of last week, all of the athletic competition. Have you found EXODUS to your liking? Ryuji Kamigawa: I have, yes. Of course, I have yet to actually compete, but from what I have seen so far, there are many tremendous athletes here, and much...potential going forward. In truth, that is what I am here to discuss with you. We have spoken over Twitter in the past, but I want you to hear everything from my own mouth. Kamigawa's tone was serious, but cordial – he owed more to Jonathan Collins than he honestly wanted to admit, but business was business. Jonathan Collins: Absolutely. Come have a seat and we can talk about it. Collins made a sweeping motion with his hand, gesturing for Kamigawa to sit down as Jonathan himself went back to the other side of his desk, sitting down and waiting to continue the conversation. Kamigawa nodded his head, taking a seat in the chair for guests. It groaned a bit beneath his three-hundred plus pounds, but otherwise held firm. Ryuji Kamigawa: To put it simply, I am a mercenary. I informed you of this when I was hired. The statements that I made to you on Twitter are truthful – I do owe you, and I fully expect that you will cash in that favor when the time is right. Nonetheless, that does not mean that I will treat you differently than anyone else involved with EXODUS Pro. Beyond the freebie I promised you, if you want my services, we will negotiate for them. Contrary to Dom Harter's belief, the price for Kamigawa's services ran higher than a few bags of potato chips. Ryuji Kamigawa: Tonight, I will go to the ring, confront Daniel Prophet, and defeat him. Once that task is finished, I will head towards LEGION's locker room and introduce myself to Iwakuma-san and let him know that, for the right price, my services can be had. I have no intention of ever joining Iwakuma-san's cult of personality, but his money speaks as loudly as anyone else's in this company. I will challenge a member of LEGION to a contest in two weeks time and use that match to show him the value of my talents. Those are my plans for this evening. I do not wish you to see what happens later and be misled, or for Daisuke Iwakuma to attempt to use our meeting to confuse you or anyone else in this company. That is what I wished to tell you.
Jonathan Collins stops for a moment, thinking for a second as he rubs his chin, exhaling before speaking.
Jonathan Collins: Everything you've told me is fair. I understand, and respect, your feelings
However, he smiles now and leans in to look at Kamigawa-san. Jonathan Collins: Do what you need to do, friend. Just a word of advice for the future, however. Sometimes, the greatest battles come from ones that carry emotional weight. Find something to fight for, my friend, that doesn't just mean something to your wallet. Other than that, you do what you need. The big man chuckled wryly by way of response, rising from his seat, placing both meaty paws on Collins' desk to support himself as he stood. Ryuji Kamigawa: If I had a 100 yen note for every time I've heard that, Jonathan, I wouldn't need to be a mercenary, you know. With that statement, Ryuji turned to leave – but stopped halfway. Ryuji Kamigawa: Actually, Jonathan, there is something that I'm here for. Something that I am not after for the sake of a full wallet and evenings enjoying good food and drink. It's the ten or twelve pounds of gold that your lady friend wears around her waist. One day it will be mine. That day may soon, or it may be far off, but it will come. I promise you that. Now, having said his peace for the evening, the Man in White took his leave, headed back to his lounge for a pre-match whiskey and some last minute warmups.
We see a training facility that was almost empty, as a very young red-headed woman was training vigorously in there, delivering blow upon blow to a punching bag. Calming down, she notices the camera and says to it...
Anya Makarov: Hello my friends, this is Anya Makarov, Professional Russian. And today, I am going to show you all what I am capable of in a wrestling ring.
She takes a minor pause, before speaking out to the cameras, while there was a lone man lifting weights in the background behind her.
Anya Makarov: I am second generation starlet of famed Soviet wrestler Sergei Makarov, and am just as tough as he was in his prime. Unlike most of these "model" types, my childhood wasn't about being spoiled like fatty ding-dong American children of these days. No, I was trained diligently in the arts of Russian Systema, and Sambo to make me into a powerful fighter. Just watch...
The man behind her earlier was taking a break from his weightlifting. He was about 250 pounds, and had fairly large muscles, but was about as orange as an Oompa Loompa. She goes over and says to him, as the camera followed her...
Anya Makarov: Excuse me, sir, what is your name?
Nicky "The Predicament": My name? All the fine bitches in Cali know about The Predicament! My abs go for miles! Woo, woo, woo you know it!
The man fist pumped arrogantly, as Anya rolled her eyes. Idiocracy was becoming more believable day after day, with people like this existing on our planet. She decided to egg him on, to start a little fight for the cameras.
Anya Makarov: Oh, really now? Can't say I've ever heard of you. I only like the baddest of the bad. Guys that can handle themselves in a fight, you know.
Nicky “The Predicament”: Oh, you want it bad?
He then sends a lot of past punches in her direction, that don't hit, to demonstrate his speed to the woman, trying to saddle her in bed.
Nicky “The Predicament”: I'm bad! I'm f**kin' amazin'! I'm big, but I'm fast! I'm unbeatable!
Anya Makarov: That's impressive... do that again.
Anya crossed her arms, as "The Predicament" hesitated for a couple seconds. He then started to throw a punch, however, Anya catches it with ease, and pushes a pressure point to bend it backwards. She then stepped behind his knee forcing him downwards, bending his arm back. He submits in under three seconds, saying to her...
Nicky “The Predicament”: Aw, s**t! I give, I give!
Anya lets go, as he backed away from her, as if she was the second coming of Christ.
Nicky “The Predicament”: S**t! What the hell? That was some Red Army stuff, man!
Anya Makarov: Very good, now go try and learn something instead of trying to spread the stupid gene around.
Anya said, embarrassing the guy enough, he hides his face, before leaving the room in the gym, having being owned by a 105 pound girl.
Anya Makarov: Well, I hope you enjoyed the video, my friends. Be sure to see me on EXODUS soon, as my visa will hopefully be prepared properly this time. And as always.... have nice day. |

Dick Morosi: And look who we have in attendance tonight! Seth Ericson: Well, I'll be damned...it's Justin Brooks. The camera pans over to see Justin Brooks sitting ringside with a large smile on his face. In his arms, his four year old son Alistair and his beau Jennika Thomas sitting to his left. A few of the Exodus Pro faithful pat him on the back and cheers loudly as Justin just chuckles to himself and reaches into the front pocket of his shirt, showing off the purchased Exodus Pro ticket to the camera. Dick Morosi: And he's got a ticket for tonight's show! Seth Ericson: After his last stint here in Exodus, he's best just sitting in the stands. Dick Morosi: Oh com'n now...can't define a man's well-decorated career after a rather uneventful run here in Exodus...he's known here world wide... JUST-IN BROOKS!
JUST-IN BROOKS!
JUST-IN BROOKS!
JUST-IN BROOKS!
JUST-IN BROOKS! Dick Morosi: ...and it seems that the Exodus Pro fans haven't forgotten either! Just listen to them, they know who he is... Seth Ericson: Give me a break. Justin puts his ticket away and gives firm salute to the camera and acknowledges the crowd with a high raise of his hand, giving a nice solid pop from the crowd. Dick Morosi: We have to get Matheny down there to get a word from him! Seth Ericson: Do we really have to? 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. Green strobe lighting flashes around the arena in sync with the drums. Once the song kicks in, "The Final Star", Andrew Ashton, makes his way from behind the curtain. He wears a sleeveless black leather vest with the hood up, although his cocky smile is still clear to see. He reaches the top of the ramp and turns his back to the fans, showing the star on the back of his attire and holds one arm into the air. The fans get even louder as he turns around and makes his way down to the ring, his arms crossed. He slides under the bottom rope and makes his way towards the corner, stepping up onto the second turnbuckle, arms still crossed. He then reaches up and throws off his hood, the cocky expression for all to see. He throws his arm into the air once again as flashes come from the people in attendance trying to take pictures. Dick Morosi: Two weeks ago, the Silver Squid revealed he was this man; five-time New Era Wrestling World Champion Andrew Ashton! We've been waiting since then for...well, why? Why this new demeanor, why the secrecy, why the squid getup...and we're hoping to get an answer right now. Tom Matheny is in the ring with Andrew Ashton! In the ring is, indeed, Tom Matheny, with a microphone. Tom Matheny: Andrew Ashton...welcome officially to EXODUS Pro Wrestling. Andrew looks at Matheny, and sneers. He's offered the microphone, but simply walks slowly around the ring, looking out at the fans. Some of them, the old-school diehards, cheer, even a few small "AN-DREW ASH-TON" chants, but there's still a solid contingent booing him. Tom Matheny: Alright...let's get to the first question that I, and I think a lot of these fans, have for you; why hide yourself from everyone for months, until two weeks ago, when you laid Alex Brooks out with that steel chair? Andrew again approaches Matheny, this time leaning in to speak...only to pull away and again walk slowly around the ring! This time the boos are a bit louder than the cheers, and Matheny can do little but shrug. Tom Matheny: I suppose you'll have to answer that question here, later tonight, against Alex Brooks as you face off in a rematch! Ashton stops, mid-stride, and walks right up to Matheny, glaring at him as the crowd reaction builds. Slowly, Andrew Ashton reaches out, grabbing the microphone from Tom, and holds it up, finally going to speak... Andrew Ashton: ...I'm not facing Alex Brooks tonight, and I'm not explaining anything to you or these fans tonight. Andrew then unceremoniously drops the mic to the ground, and "Be Still and Know" starts playing again as Andrew simply hops out of the ring and walks back to the backstage area, leaving Matheny stunned as we head to break.

Singles Match
Jafreese Frazier vs. Gouken Haroshi
Lights start to flash when "On to the Next One" start to play. Out of the curtain walks Jafreese Frazier with a hoodie and his traditional wrestling clothes. Lights return to normal as the cameraman zooms on the face of Jafreese. He does his "mean mugging" and shows his mouthpiece with the word "Deathgrip" written in them. The camera zooms out and he starts walking towards the ring while not looking at anyone directly to their eyes.
Once he gets ringside he jumps over the third rope and walks towards the center of the ring. He takes his hoodie off and sits indian style in the center of the ring as his music fades.
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.
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: Two monsters here, one more literal than the other! Jafreese Frazier and Gouken Haroshi to do combat in our opening contest!
The bell rings, and Jafreese charges at Gouken, only to be met with a series of kicks to the chest! Gouken quickly slips behind the MMA fighter and hurls him backward with a German suplex, folding Frazier up like an accordion!
Seth Ericson: Gouken means business here! More than business, he wants to send a message, look at that!
Gouken has already hauled Frazier back up, and pulls him into position, lifting him again and running across the ring before dropping with the Fall From the Sky, as the ref slides into position to count three!
Dick Morosi: Gouken Haroshi picks up the win in dominating fashion, and he's on a roll, Seth!
Seth Ericson: You've got that right; who's going to stop this demon of LEGION?
WINNER: Gouken Haroshi

Singles MatchAnya Makarov vs. Ally EdwardsIt wasn't much of a fight for Anya Makarov; Edwards looked in over her head for the second show in a row. Anya led off quickly with a spinning headscissors and a pair of tilt-a-whirl backbreakers. After a couple of minutes working on Ally's back, Makarov locked on her trademark Stalingrad Stretch, securing the submission victory! WINNER: Anya MakarovSingles MatchAiden Romero vs. ZortalkThis match was a showcase for the AWA standout, as Aiden Romero (accompanied by new flame Jessica Robertson/Harmony) used his power style to neutralize the Space Pharaoh, who looked lost. It also only lasted a few minutes until Romero hit his Deliverance/Calming of the Storm combo to send Zortalk packing! WINNER: Aiden RomeroSingles MatchJerry Matthews vs. Matt SageMatthews rose a stir as he came to the ring in his suit, accompanied by a large black man, also dressed in a suit with sunglasses. Later we were told that this is Deacon Jeremiah, a main associate of Matthews. “The Evangelist” was more deliberate in his moves than Romero or Makarov before him, decimating Sage with move after move, stopping every so often to pray over his fallen victim. Before long, though, Matthews ended it with the Savior's Wrath to get the win! WINNER: Jerry MatthewsEXODUS PRO TV
EPISODE #6
SAN DIEGO, CA - MARCH 10, 2013 Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid... "Grounds for Divorce" by Elbow starts over the PA system, and the crowd cheers as they know what it means! Stepping out from the back, Jonathan Collins comes out, and he grins as the audience begins to bang on the security rails to the beat of his song as he steps down. The grin quickly fades as he stops and sighs, walking down the ramp to do what he told people he intended on doing. Dick Morosi: I don't envy the position Jonathan Collins is in right now. After our last episode of E-Pro Television, there's a lot more questions than answers. Seth Ericson: You really think he's gonna do anything? Rufus Frost is pulling the strings! Jonathan Collins had to stand by and idly watch as LEGION decimated his girlfriend, and then Rufus fired one of his best friends and our head Road Agent! Collins gets into the ring and takes a microphone. In a white dress shirt and some slacks, he instantly leans against a corner and looks towards the entrance way. Jonathan Collins: Rufus, let's just...let's get this over with please. It takes a few moments, but finally...the opening synth sounds of "We Can Make the World Stop" by The Glitch Mob begin to play and Rufus Frost comes out from the back to a mostly negative reaction! All business and ignoring fans, Jon looks emotionally distraught at what's happened. This was not what he had in mind when things went down, but as Rufus steps into the ring, both men know that this conversation is overdue. Jon steps out from the corner and looks at Rufus, putting a hand up so he doesn't get too close. Jonathan Collins: Rufus, I'm gonna shoot here, okay? About ten years ago, we crossed paths and you gave me work. I had just started my adult life really with my late wife Helena and my daughter. From the minute Madison could start talking, she called you Mr. Rufus or Uncle Rufus. Jon stops as a group of fans start an "UN-CLE RU-FUS!" chant, leading him to laugh and Rufus to even crack a small smile. Jonathan Collins: You believed in me. You gave me a million opportunities, and you put me in the ring against the best in the world. From the legendary White Phoenix... The crowd pops. Jonathan Collins: ...to Morgana... The crowd gets a little louder. Jonathan Collins: ...to even Andrew Ashton. You've given me a million opportunities, and I cannot thank you enough. You helped me start EXODUS Pro Wrestling, and I will always be in your debt for that. You went as far as to call me your "greatest achievement" two weeks ago. You went as far as to call me your "greatest investment." He stops for a moment, pausing to think. Jonathan Collins: Now Rufus, this is my problem. Every decision you made involving me was with your heart. When you signed me, it was a gut decision. When you put your faith in making me the face of New Era Wrestling...it was with your heart. When you decided to put yourself back into professional wrestling, it was because you trusted your heart that we could do this. Your heart has done the one thing you want in any business venture you've made, and that's make you money. Those decisions have also made a lot of people very happy. You're standing in the center of a ton of them. The crowd cheers, and another chant breaks out, this time "THANK YOU RU-FUS!" with the claps. Jonathan Collins: I don't know when it happened, Rufus, but you decided to take heart out of the equation. You made decisions strictly based on money. Now you might think that's good for certain things, and maybe you're right. However, the best business is done with a little bit of heart. Every person in that locker room back there... Jonathan points towards the entrance way and he nods as the crowd cheers again. Jonathan Collins: ...gives their heart and soul for you. Not their wallets, but their heart, soul, and body. Those people are lining up to save this company, because the darkest hour is coming, Rufus. LEGION showed us and the world how little we were prepared. That's my problem, Rufus. You ripped the heart out from the back two weeks ago when you fired Jimmy Riley. Because you wouldn't let me do anything, he took up for me, and you fired him for doing the right thing for me, for you, for the locker room, and for these fans, Rufus! The biggest loss two weeks ago wasn't what LEGION did, but what you did. Jon wipes his brow, the crowd starting to stir even more with the heartfelt speech he's given to Rufus all before he looks at him. Jonathan Collins: So now I'm asking you, Rufus. For this company, for every one of these fans...for me. Do the right thing. By this point, Rufus is looking down at his feet, microphone to his side. After a moment, he looks up and out to the audience. Slowly exhaling, Rufus brings the mic up to his mouth. Rufus Frost: I...I think you're right, Jon. Another round of cheers go up from the crowd, though a hand quickly comes up; Jonathan's, calming them back down. Rufus Frost: I've gone away from what I used to do...back in New Era Wrestling...and I've taken my heart out of making decisions. Now, I won't lie to you, Jon. It's done me a lot of good in the line of work I went into after leaving wrestling. But...I think you're right. Wrestling, for better...or for worse...is a business of heart. So I sat back for two weeks now, and I've heard the calls... The crowd begins to buzz once again. Rufus Frost: ...I've read the tweets, I read the emails...and I read what Jonathan Collins put across my desk before he left for Fiji... That buzz has grown into a dull roar, as anticipation is built by the owner. Rufus Frost: ...And I'm here to approve it. Jonathan Collins has made a great signing for EXODUS in bringing Jimmy Riley in as an active competitor! The roar goes almost instantly from dull noise to a full-blown pop, as fans stand and cheer the decision made by Rufus. Both Rufus and Jon affirm the decision with nods at each other, before Rufus holds his free hand up, slowly quieting the crowd. Rufus Frost: I think adding Jimmy to the roster adds to what you've created, Jon; a true army for EXODUS to fight this LEGION. Now...with that out of the way, I think we need to discuss something just as important, and that's the EXODUS Heavyweight Title, and our upcoming i-Pay-Per-View, Invincible. I can announce that the winner of tonight's match between Abby Park and Fiona Ro- The heavily distorted guitar riff opening Zero by The Smashing Pumpkins blared through the arena. The arena took in a deep breath and in a massive collective sigh booed the oncoming storm as he stepped through the curtain to greet the packed and excited crowd. Dick Morosi: If anyone was going to interject, it had to have been Kliff Ulysses. The man is so good at finding reasons to hate Jon Collins he could list it among his talents of Music and Wrestling. Seth Ericson: You said it right in its simplest form: He is GOOD. Whatever Kliff does, he's spectacular at! The grinning and anxious Ulysses stared from side to side of the crowd, before his eyes set on Collins who was keeping his wits about him, also keeping his eyes on the arena while fixing on Kliff. Kliff Ulysses: Well, well, well well well-well WELL! What an event this already is! He threw his free left hand out to the audience. Jonathan Collins: Yes it is, Kliff! What brings you out here? Kliff Ulysses: Actually. I was coming out here already- To bring light on this saccharine, disingenuous display we have before us. But now, we're talking about the title. And that leaves me with all the more reason to come out here and make a case! The Humanoid Typhoon declared as he marched down the aisle approaching the ring. Rufus and Jon eying each other as they stood back. Kliff Ulysses:Seeing as I'm certain that the next words out of your mouths won't be "Kliff Ulysses! The most deserving man to contend for the championship!" I think it's high time I come out and put some sense in your heads! Rufus Frost: Isn't that presumptuous of you, Kliff. What would lead you to that- Kliff Ulysses: I'm not stupid. I can see the strings and I can see the standings. Really? Why WOULD you give the shot to me? I'm a LEGION guy, that's counter intuitive strategy. Kliff explained to the pair as he climbed the steps to the ring. Rufus only gave a droll scoff before speaking again. Rufus Frost: That's a pretty reasonable assessment. But I can add a few bullet points to that theory. Namely, Kliff, that I just don't think your credentials are adequate just yet. Kliff Ulysses: Oh? Like I haven't proven a thing? You all saw last week, who really is the star of this show, who the top performer is. Rufus Frost: And before that you lost to the first, and second- and current champions. Consecutively. Kliff, what can you do for me? Rufus pointed out, getting a steady Ooooooh! building up in the crowd as Kliff rolled his eyes. Even Jon was slightly amused by how Rufus handled himself, watching Kliff patiently smirk as he stepped through the ropes and approaching Rufus. Kliff Ulysses: That's exactly it. Right there. He gestures to Rufus. Kliff Ulysses: That's exactly why I was originally coming out here. You proved it yourself just now. All that seeing the "Heart of the Business." And other nonsense. That's not you. Not the real you at least, that's the you you're putting up because it has a better value. You have no heart for wrestling, really, that's Jon's department. You have a heart for profit. Rufus stood still for a moment, before quietly nodded. Kliff Ulysses: Rufus, you truly believe in the one big sign. And you should see the profit in the man who can put on a classic match with your Prized Pig. Kliff raised his eyebrow at Collins, who stepped forward through the fog of a collective crowd gasp. Jonathan Collins: Be careful with your word choice Kliff. It's not doing you any favors in getting your ass kicked by Fiona again. Rufus Frost: And you be careful yourself, Jon. Take a breath and stand back before things get too heated and you make a poor decision. Rufus placed his hand on Jon's shoulder. Collins took a deep breath and retreated to his corner, biding as he watched over Kliff. Kliff Ulysses: My words are chosen with every bit of precision as they land. And despite what you say, your golden girl never beat me, Jonny. You did. Your games, your antics, your moves. Not Fionas. Youre what lead me to being shafted again. Without those things she'd be nowhere near this discussion, she wouldn't have gotten her first chance and she damn well wouldn't have gotten her second- Already dubious chance- Rufus Frost: Hey! Kliff! Eyes on me. We're talking business here. Kliff Ulysses: I say it again, Rufus. It's all about business with you. In this little fight you're the war profiteer. You look at LEGION- You don't see a threat. You see money! You've gotta be looking to put your best assets to their best use against each other! Let's hear it! Let's have me and Fiona go at it for the championship! The crowd stirred at the notion. Frost gave an amused sneer. Rufus Frost: You're right. I'm looking to best utilize the assets I have before me. And what's before me, hasn't got me convinced quite yet. He chuckled as he gently patted Kliff on the shoulder. Ulysses didn't respond well to that and Jon could tell as he began to leer into the own of the company. Rufus Frost: But I'm an open minded guy, Kliff. I'm willing to give everyone a chance. So I'm going to give you a chance to bring in those profits. But don't worry about that title, just yet. I want you to show off just how good you are before you get that shot you so deserve against every SINGLE wrestler EXODUS has to throw at you! So get ready to back up that claim, Kliff, and be ready to make me that money I so dearly love. Rufus opened up his arms, the crowd began to cheer and woo as Kliff stared right at him, eventually shaking it off and smiling. Kliff Ulysses: Clever... Clever. He nodded, approaching Rufus who stood firm. Kliff Ulysses: No matter who I face, I'll be sure to impress you. I'll be sure to bring in interest. And Rufus, you may not like my methods... But you'll appreciate the results. Kliff gave a wolfish grin as Jon Collins bolted up. Jonathan Collins: Kliff! Watch it!- Before he can finish speaking Ulysses had already kicked in Rufus' knee, propelling himself back with the force he put in. Dropping Rufus down. Before he could react, Kliff had already rebounded back forward and lunged in, delivering a critical elbow to Rufus' shoulder/neck/head area dropping him down. Before Jon could get to him he was sliding easily out of the ring. Before Jon could rush after him the ring was flooded with security. Dick Morosi: He just delivered a sick Angel Arm to the owner of the company! Seth Ericson: WE JUST WITNESSED A LEGION ASSASSINATION!

Character InfoName: Harakiri Height: 6’0” Weight: 240lbs Hometown: San Diego, CA Alignment: Harakiri (-5), Essex (-2) Entrance Music: Imagine Dragons - RadioactiveEntrance Description:“The arena lights slowly dim as a soft melody begins to play. Just as the base kicks in, the backstage curtain flies open and the Cheshire smile of Jamie Essex can be seen amidst the strobe like camera flashes. He’s followed closely by his masked monster and the two make their way slowly down toward the ring when 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.” Physical Appearance: Average height and build; while not a massive monster, he’s built like a true athlete should. His body suit is form fitting but moves with him, allowing him complete range of motion. Ring Attire: Blue body suit with black accents, black wrestling boots covered in blue kickpads up into kneepads which match his gloves and elbow pads. He wears a mask that completely obscures his head/face and has a skull printed on the face. Gimmick: Silent and unstoppable Personality: James ‘Jamie’ Essex is equal parts loathsome bastard and charmingly eccentric. Hailing from Liverpool, England he’ll win you over one minute with his James Bond swagger, and make you want to throw up in your mouth the next. Strengths:1. Has worked around the world in both small and large companies and, therefore, has acquired a large repertoire of technical skills that make him a formidable and adaptable opponent. 2. Will never tap out; quit is not in his vocabulary; Essex on the other hand … 3. No compassion for opponents therefore will not pull punches Weaknesses:1. Needs to use Essex as a mouthpiece 2. Mask can limit vision somewhat 3. Prone to snapping, making it hard for Essex to control him Biography: ‘It isn’t about who has the most guns, it’s about how you use the ones you’ve got!’ There isn’t much in Jamie Essex’s arsenal, but the one weapon he does have more than makes up for it. Very little is known about the man beneath the hood, partly because he doesn’t speak, but more so that even if he did he wouldn’t be able to get a word in edgewise. Essex is everything that Harakiri isn’t; dynamic and social he has a penitent for the spotlight that borders on narcissistic. Like modern day gypsies, roaming from company to company, wherever they’ve landed has had one thing in common … strife. Companies on the edge seem to call out to Essex who shows up with on offer, equal to both sides. For the right price, Harakiri will fight for you … ignore the offer and there’s a good chance he’ll be fighting against you, an error quickly realized. Wrestling Style: Very technically sound with a hybrid of lucha and strong style Puroresu Finishers1. Ba Sing Se – Uranage  2. Leafy Sea Dragon – Danielson Special  Signature Moves1. Lost in Translation - Standing Sliced Bread #2 into Scorpion Death Drop 2. Pepto-Bismol Red – Fireman’s Carry Double Knee Gutbuster Regular Moves1. Straight jacket northern lights bomb 2. Shining Wizard 3. European Uppercut 4. Asai Moonsault 5. Backbreakers (only attempted on smaller opponents) 6. Implant DDT 7. Belly to Belly Suplex 8. Spinning Neckbreaker 9. Turnbuckle Powerbomb 10. Fisherman Suplex 11. German Suplex 12. Running STO into a backbreaker 13. Double underhook backbreaker 14. DDT (snap, swing, tornado, reverse) 15. Straightjacket Camel Clutch 16. Standing Shooting Star Knee Drop 17. Roaring Elbow 18. Running Stalled Corner Dropkick 19. Running enzuguri 20. Swinging Reverse STO

Man, what a week, right? There’s a lot going on in EXODUS Pro.
We’ve got a new EXODUS Pro Heavyweight Champion. That being said, congratulations, Fiona Rourke.
We’ve got a lot of things to address though, namely the International Title…so let’s get down to business.
Fiona Rourke, as of 2/25/13, is no longer International Champion. I can’t have her holding both titles. She has accepted this ruling and has vacated the title to defend the Heavyweight Title in two weeks against Abby Park.
That brings me to the bigger question…what do I do with this International Title?
Logic dictates that I have a decision match to fill the vacancy. In the words of my mentor, Rufus Frost, that’s good business.
However, there’s a lot of factors to take into consideration.
Dom Harter defeated five other people to win the Twitter Invitational, and secure a shot at Fiona Rourke. This is no difficult feat, and logically he has a claim to the International Title.
However, as I said on Twitter, I’ve never handed a belt to anyone in this company. If I won’t do it for Fiona Rourke (and I actually like her), why would I do that for someone I have no opinion of one way or the other?
Secondly…Dom’s not contracted to EXODUS Pro. It was an open Invitational match, true. However, it looks horribly bad if I let a freelancer walk around with our title like he owns it.
So I came to a decision, I think this should make our roster happy and Mr. Harter happy.
Dom, I will not ask you to sign an EXODUS Pro contract. Sort of.
Here’s what I’m going to do. On the next two episodes of E-Pro Television, I’m going to be doing some scouting. I’m going to take notes and see how the roster is doing. I’m going to be looking at promos, initiative, leadership skills, the whole nine yards. Basically, I’m looking for a young go-getter to prove they want this. I’ve given a lot of shots to people outside EXODUS, it’s time to give opportunities to those within EXODUS. You’re going to face this person in about six weeks at a little iPPV we’re holding called Invincible.
Also, I highly recommend you reconsider how you converse with a person who decides your fate. See, you won’t have to face just one person, but a second person. I decided I might outsource to find a second opponent, or I might keep it within EXODUS. All you know is that I guarantee one opponent is already on our roster. That means everyone who has been active from E-Pro TV #5 on is eligible to face you.
So that’s the final verdict, everyone. We’ll see what sort of behavior you’re on when you come back to the RIMAC for your match on against Magnus Gunner and Katherine Reynolds. Basically, I’m saying that if you’d like me to look a little more favorably on you, you might want to behave. Maybe even consider handing the belt back to me on the show. Let’s see what you do.
So there we go, guys. International Title problem solved. If you are the “tl;dr” type, I’ll sum it up - there is no champ, Invincible, Dom Harter will meet two people for the title, one of them is guaranteed to be an EXODUS roster member. The other may be anyone. ANYONE. Maybe even Malcolm Drake if he’s interested. What’s that? Pat Gordon Jr. might want in on this? I’ll take it ALL into consideration.
So that’s that, but there’s one more thing.
Rufus? I want you in the building in two weeks. You and I REALLY need to talk. Not in private, but in front of the RIMAC faithful. About a lot of things.
And by a lot, I think you know what I mean.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Collins

Here we go! We've got big news after the shocking events of E-Pro TV #5! - Tom Matheny was able to get a word with Johnny Cannon following the announcement of his title match alongside Stephen Lenton against the Ninth Gate. The British Brawler simply had this to say:
"Daisuke and Chase are going to get their bloody heads kicked off."
- The prognosis on Omar Wise is a broken ankle. Unfortunately, this means that "The Assault Breacher Vehicle" will be out indefinitely. No word yet on Donovan Torment.
- As reported on the lineup for E-Pro TV #6, Fiona Rourke will put up her newly won World Title up against Abby Park. Park took Rourke to the limit on E-Pro TV #3, but came up short. Can she overcome "The Strong Style Seraph" with EXODUS' biggest prize on the line?
- A strange man named Jamie Essex started tweeting at members of the EXODUS roster stating that his associate, a man named Harakiri, would turn the tide in the war between EXODUS and LEGION one way or the other. Though Director Jonathan Collins has denied either man is under EXODUS contract, both seem intent on making their way to the company.
- Following his unmasking, Andrew Ashton has been fined an undisclosed amount for cursing on television. Rumors suggest, but are unconfirmed, that Johnny Cannon was fined as well. |

This was an amazing show with huge results! After the mayhem, here's your top 10 rankings!
1) Fiona Rourke (Last show: 2)
Achievement Unlocked: WORLD CHAMPION. After a month of being beaten and kicked by the toughest and meanest EXODUS offers, Fiona Rourke can now call herself World Champion. Despite taped up ribs, Fiona unleashed an all-out assault on Omar Wise, using three of her brand new Shinigamis to finish off The Assault Breacher Vehicle and capture the belt that eluded her at March of War. With this, she also surrenders the now-stolen International Title, but that's the least of her problems...the gigantic target on her back is.
2) Andrew Ashton (Last show: NR)
The Final Star has returned with a vengeance. With a clear chip on his shoulder, Andrew Ashton revealed himself as being the ex-Silver Squid, and definitively shut the door on his time as the sea creature by nailing his legendary Eon Cutter and pinning Abby Park. Now unhindered by an Octopus and silly gimmicks, how soon will it take "DrewAsh" to ascend the mountain and claim a shot at World Champion Fiona Rourke?
3) Kliff Ulysses (Last show: 6)
It was a return to form for "Cruel Ulysses," as Kliff rebounded from a semifinal elimination at March of War to defeat Johnny Cannon. Though Ulysses was impressed with his opponent and offered him a chance to join LEGION, Cannon responded with a kick heard round the world, and potentially the first shot in a war against the man with the Angel Arm! Ulysses is no stranger to war though, and will do his best to not just put an end to Cannon, but climb his way back into contention for the World Title.
4) Magnus Gunner (Last show: 9)
There is nothing more dangerous than a man with direction. Now that Daisuke Iwakuma has given Magnus Gunner direction, he has never looked more dangerous or more focused. Taking that focus and defeating V on this week's show, Gunner now looks like he's more than prepared to take his shots at the World Title. Can he prove he's the rightful #1 contender to face "The Strong Style Seraph?" Only time will tell, but one thing is certain - nobody is safe the minute "The Loaded Pistol" picks up a chair. Don't believe us? Ask the now injured Omar Wise.
5) Abby Park (Last show: 4)
The young Abby Park has nothing to be ashamed of. Though she lost to "Silver Squid," Park did her best to take the legendary Andrew Ashton to the limit. However, Park saw opportunity, and she's got her biggest match in her young career to look forward to in two weeks, as Fiona Rourke will defend the EXODUS Pro World Title against the same woman who pushed her to new limits during the Winter Road!
6) Johnny Cannon (Last show: 7)
Do you hear that? It's the RIMAC crowd, and it's...different. No longer is Johnny Cannon being jeered and hated by the audience, but he has been embraced by the EXODUS faithful. Even in defeat, the Hollywood superstar had the crowd calling for him against Kliff Ulysses, losing a close encounter with the co-leader of LEGION. Cannon has proven to the world what he's made of, and now turns his attention toward proving to the world he's capable of holding any title he wants in the company...and you could get little argument from anyone.
7) Daisuke Iwakuma (Last show: 3)
A four spot drop in rankings isn't an indictment of failure in the case of "The Perfect Evil." Instead, Daisuke dominated The Nation of California with the help of his Ninth Gate partner, Kameron Chase. LEGION left its mark on EXODUS, destroying many of the top stars on t he roster, leaving a trail of bodies along the way. A contender for any belt when he wishes, Daisuke Iwakuma remains ready to dominate the tag team division with Kameron Chase.
8) V (Last show: NR)
Little is known about the mysterious and eccentric V other than his intense dislike for LEGION and his strange connection to Jonathan Collins. In his debut match against Magnus Gunner, we learned one more thing about him - he's damn competitive. V might have come up short against LEGION's "Loaded Pistol," but V put up an incredible fight and looks to be strong and ready for the fight.
9) Gouken (Last show: 5)
The monster Gouken continues to impress. Being faced with the young lion Alex Brooks, Gouken delivered pain like Alex Brooks has never known and finished him off (with a little help from Dan Stein from SHOOT). Say what you will about the man LEGION refers to as their "sword," but he's been dangerous and effective beyond a shadow of a doubt.
10) Tiami Tyler (Last show: NR)
Rounding out the Top 10 is "The Icy Princess" herself! Tiami Tyler has continued to show incredible fighting spirit week after week, and after having to face the Tag Team Gauntlet alone, Tyler won her match this week with some help from Heather Halliwell. Clearly on the offensive against LEGION, Tiami Tyler is looking to prove to them that she's equally capable of taking hardware from the dangerous group.
Just Missed: Alex Brooks, Steve Lenton, Kameron Chase

Segment Deadline: 24 Hours after RP Deadline Main Event: EXODUS Pro Heavyweight Title Match!EXODUS Pro Heavyweight Champion FIONA ROURKE vs. ABBY PARK -In the midst of all the chaos that was this last episode of E-Pro TV, Fiona Rourke got what she was after; one last shot at Omar Wise and the EXODUS Pro Heavyweight Title! After three kicks to the face, the title was hers...as was a target on her back the size of San Diego itself! Abby Park was quick to challenge the new champion, and being the fighter she is, Fiona was not hesitant to say yes! The next episode of E-Pro TV will see the first official, planned defense of the EXODUS Pro Heavyweight Championship! EXODUS Pro Tag Team Title Match!EXODUS PRO TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE NINTH GATE (DAISUKE IWAKUMA & KAMERON CHASE W/ AUDREY LIORIS)
vs.
JOHNNY CANNON & “THE BIG L” STEVE LENTON -Director Jonathan Collins jumped right on the opportunity that presented itself in the form of both Johnny Cannon and Steve Lenton showing their allegiance against LEGION. The two find themselves paired up with a chance to win tag team gold! Unfortunately, they don't have much in the form of team experience, while Iwakuma and Chase are constantly together, preparing for their title defenses! Will the fire of Cannon and Lenton prevail and bring them gold? Tag Team Title #1 Contenders Match!THE KNIGHTS OF ANARCHY (GOWAN & CHAUNCY NOTTINGHAM)
vs.
#HARMONIOUSREVOLUTION (TIAMI TYLER-JOHNSON & JESSICA ROBERTSON W/ JASMINE DESIREE) -The Knights made a statement in the 3TG back at March of War, reeling off three wins! One of those was over Tiami Tyler, who went on into the match without her sister, the missing Danielle Tyler! The result? Tiami found a new partner in an old one, reforming #HarmoniousRevolution with Jessica Robertson! The pair have already set their sights on LEGION, and if they can get a match against The Ninth Gate, that would set things up for the Revolution nicely! Deathgrip takes on The Demon!JAFREESE FRAZIER
vs.
GOUKEN HAROSHI (W/ KANNA HAROSHI) -”Deathgrip” found himself ousted by LEGION during their takeover of the RIMAC at E-Pro TV #5! Now the protege of Jonathan Collins finds himself across the ring from LEGION's silent demon, Gouken Haroshi! Gouken reeled off an impressive win over Alex Brooks, but not without the help of both sister Kanna, as well as SHOOT Project's Dan Stein! Couples Dance, EXODUS vs. LEGION Style!HEATHER HALLIWELL & DOM HARTER
vs.
MAGNUS GUNNER & KATHERINE REYNOLDS -So maybe Gunner and Reynolds aren't a couple; fact remains that the LEGION pair will have to face a formidable team! PDW/EXODUS talent Heather Halliwell is getting to team up with her new flame, and the current “holder” of the EXODUS Pro International Title belt, Dom Harter! Harter may not have a dog in the EXODUS vs. LEGION war, but Halliwell has made her intentions clear; she's 100% for EXODUS! The Hired Gun's In-Ring Debut!RYUJI KAMIGAWA
vs.
DANIEL PROPHET -Ryuji Kamigawa will leave the comfort of his personal bar and enter the EXODUS ring for the first time at E-Pro TV #6! Daniel Prophet didn't have much input on the outcome of his match, but he did come out with a win in the six-person tag! He'll have to do more work to beat the Japanese warrior! The Final Star vs. The Little Engine That Did!”THE FINAL STAR” ANDREW ASHTON
vs.
ALEX BROOKS -At the end of the last episode of E-Pro TV, the Silver Squid revealed that he was the same person that was being the videos warning of a coming “ghost” and stalking EXODUS personalities; four-time NEW World Champion and member of the world-famous Ashton wrestling family, Andrew Ashton! Now free from the Squid costume, Ashton is faced with one of the most persistent wrestlers in all of EXODUS; Alex Brooks! LEGION's Best against The Man Who Stands Alone!KLIFF ULYSSES
vs.
V -V, the competitor who stands against LEGION, but apart from EXODUS, came up short against “The Loaded Pistol” Magnus Gunner at E-Pro TV #5. That won't deter him from his mission against the terrorizing stable, though! At E-Pro TV #6, V steps into the ring against the charismatic figurehead of LEGION, Kliff Ulysses! Kliff is coming off a big win over Johnny Cannon, though his attempts to recruit him into LEGION fell short. PLUS: 3 Live Bonus Matches!AIDEN ROMERO
vs.
“THE SPACE PHARAOH” ZORTALK ”THE EVANGELIST” JERRY MATTHEWS
-As a special bonus to fans in attendance (and those who pick up the forthcoming “Fan Appreciation DVD” available soon for $0.99 at our website!), three big matches are slated! Aiden Romero came up short in his debut, and requested a shot at another EXODUS vet, “The Space Pharaoh” Zortalk! Plus the debuts of “The Evangelist” Jerry Matthews and Anya Makarov, two newcomers who could be making a splash very soon! ALL THIS PLUS: What's Andrew Ashton's reason for coming to EXODUS in a squid costume? What's to become of Jimmy Riley? And what else does LEGION have in store for EXODUS Pro Wrestling? |
