(The show comes on air to the crowd on their feet, the show has just come live and already the arena is on their feet. The camera pan over to the commentary team as they stand ringside with fans behind them holding up their signs.)
JR Freeman: Welcome to Sydney Australia and the first stop on the very first Apex tour overseas.
Alfonso Banks: The crowd was already on their feet when the cameras came on and we are here live in the hometown of the PWS Apex World Champion Alexis Markarios, who unfortunately isn’t scheduled to compete here tonight.
JR: that however doesn't mean we don't have a great show here for you tonight.
Alf: That is very true but we are going to start things off with a message of PWS co-owner David Shane.
(The cameras cut to the video package, where we see David Shane sitting outside his home in Orlando, Florida. He has a soft brace around his neck, as he looks at the camera trying to smile, as he takes off the sunglasses looking into the camera.
“Hello Boys and Girls…”
(the crowd popped with a “Hello, David.”)
“Unfortunately, I am not there live in Sydney. Due to some health issues involving my neck, which I will be getting surgeries for in the coming weeks. Which will cause me to take a step back from my duties here in PWS Apex. I have taken the past few days and discussed the future of the company with Star Stormz and have come to the conclusion that I will be promoting Star to the CEO and have made the moves to make her a Co-Owner of the company.”
(Cheers could be heard, David took a drink from a bottle of water off camera before continuing)
“I will be taking over as the Chairman of the Board, and taking over the Main office duties for the future development of the company. My Wife, Maria, has agreed to take over as the Head of Talent Acquisition and Development. As She and I will be taking a focus here in Orlando at the home offices for PWS Apex, and the development center in Tampa, Florida.”
“While this isn’t the last you will see of me, it will be some time before I return. Thank you all for everything, and enjoy the show”
(The scene goes black, as the crowd breaks into a “Thank you, David” chant. The camera has focused once again to the commentary table.)
Alf: This is a shocker, but I think it's for the best
JR: Star has been given the power, and has a huge support team now in the Main Offices. this could only mean things are going to get better…
Alf: It's just a shame that David won’t be here for the tour he set up…
JR: We still have a show here tonight and that includes the evaluation of the current General Manager of Friday Night Riot, Manny Martinez
Alf: But first we have a one on one contest between Dillon Crowe and Max Johnson to kick off the action.
DILLON CROWE V MAX JOHNSON
(The match starts with Max Johnson on the offense as the bell rang. He drives Crowe into the corner before he starts to ram his shoulder into the gut of Crowe. However, that outburst of offense didn’t last long with Max. When the ref peeled him away, Crowe rammed his thumb into the eyes of Max for a good while, as if he wanted to rip them out. Crowe starts to show domination of this match as it moves forward. He doesn’t seem to let the attack go either. He has Max up in the corner, driving his shoulder into his stomach, time and time again. The ref pulls Crowe away from him. This gives Johnson some time to recover and drill Crowe in the back of the head. Johnson goes for a quick pin, but it wasn’t very successful. Crowe kicked out at the count of 1. After the pin, Crowe got to a point where he’s done playing games. He starts to dominate the match when he does he doesn’t look back either. The match starts to turn ugly for Johnson, to a point where he can’t keep up anymore. Crowe finally finishes him off with his finisher, and pins him for the count of 2.)
JR Freeman: Johnson tried to fight but….
Alf: But Crowe was too much for him. Like Johnson put in a good effort but Crowe was too dominate for him to wrestle.
Jr Freeman: Hopefully he can go back to the PC and figure out what went wrong.
Alf: Honestly? Everything went wrong. Crowe was just a buzzsaw this match.
WINNER= DILLON CROW
(The cameras open up to show former PWSi Vixxxen Miss Puppies working inside a 7-11 as a cashier. On the bottom of the screen it said "EARLIER THIS WEEK")
Customer: Can I get a pepperoni pizza, please?
Miss Puppies: Sure... go down the street and go to fucking Pizza Hut and get a pepperoni pizza.
Customer: You can't talk to me like that.
Miss Puppies: I just did. What you gonna do about it?
Customer: I wanna speak to your manager.
(She turns around and yells towards the back)
Miss Puppies: TODD! WE GOT ANOTHER ONE!!!
(she turns back towards the customer with a smirk on her face as some skinny young kid, no older than 19 years old, walks out from the back.)
Todd: Yes?
Customer: Your cashier here is unfreindly, rude, and swore at me.
Todd: I'm so sorry ma'am. This behavior is completely uncalled for and she WILL be reprimanded properly. In the mean time, for the trouble, let me get some one to make that pizza you asked for, on the house.
(He motioned down towards the other side of the store and she went with another employee. Todd turned his attention towards Miss Puppies)
Todd: It's bad enough that we have to call you Miss Puppies... you CANT treat customers like that! The cost of that pizza is coming out of your paycheck.
(While he was in the middle of leturing her, her phone rang. She pulled it out from her cleavage.)
Miss Puppies: This is important... gotta take it...
(She answered the phone.)
Miss Puppies: Hello? YES! ....... You don't gotta ask me twice! I'll see ya on Friday!
(She hung up and put the phone back in her cleavage. She ripped off her nametag and threw it at Todd)
Miss Puppies: I QUIT!
(She jumped over the counter and headed towards the door)
Todd: Where are you going?
Miss Puppies: IM GOING TO RIOT! PEACE OUT, BITCHES!
(She grabs a beer out of the cooler and opens it, looks right at Todd)
Miss Puppies: TAKE IT OUT OF MY CHECK.
(on that note she walked out the door adn the cameras cut back to ringside)
(The cameras come back from a commercial to show an empty ring. Meg Reynolds climbed in the ring and held her mic up.)
Meg: Please, allow me to introduce to you, the new Co-Owner and CEO of PWS APEX ... MISS STAR STORMZ!!!
(The fans cheered as Star Stormz came out from the back and stood at the top of the ramp. She waited a moment for the fans to die down.)
Star: Thank you all so much. I am truly honored to get this promotion to Co-Owner and CEO of PWS APEX. This place means the world to me, it's home. And I promise that I am going to do everything in my power to keep it running smoothly, and to provide you guys with the best possible entertainment we can offer! Now, to do that, I have to find some one to replace me in the positions of President and COO. Now, that's a lot for one person to handle, and some days I am not sure how I managed to do it all on my own. Which is why I have decided to hire 2 people to fill these positions.
(She stepped off to the side a little bit.)
Star: I spent countless hours going through resumes, and contacting people, and I am happy with the two people I have chosen. They know not only this business, but this company, inside out. I am very confident in their abilities to lead and help me to bring this company to heights that I could never take it alone. So first, let me introduce the new Chief of Operations for PWS APEX ... EDDIE LOPEZ!!
(The crowd erupts in cheers as “Last day under the sun” By Volbeat starts to blare throughout the arena and out comes the PWS legend and Hall of Famer, Eddie Lopez! He’s wearing jeans and a black sports coat.)
Eddie: Whoever thought that I would be a COO of a company....and look! There's a new sheriff in town and unlike the other guy in power. I won't abuse it. If you have something to say, or need a match done, knock on my door, it'll be open for anyone.
Star: That's what we like to hear. And now, allow me to introduce my selection for PWS APEX President... MARCUS CAGE!
(Hail to the Chief begins to play and red, white, and blue confetti/streamers/and balloons fall from the ceiling. Marcus comes out from the back and stands on the opposite side of Star wearing a red, white, and blue suit. Following him were 4 men dressed in black, posing as "secret service". He had a huge grin over his face as she waved to the fans, and they were chanting his name.)
Marcus: Thank you, my fellow Americans and worldwide audience. Your voices have been heard, and will continue to be heard. MY first act as your president is going to be NO NEW TAXES! I will scour the nation, the world even, to make the best cabinet possible...
(Star leaned over to him.)
Star: Marcus... not that kind of president...
Marcus: Don't make me label you a threat to national security.
(She shook her head with a little bit of a chuckle as she stood back up straight)
Marcus: But in all seriousness, I thank you for this opportunity, Star. I know hiring a wildcard like me can be a risk... but I assure you that I am a risk worth taking! PWS is my home too, and I will work side by side with Eddie to make it the best it can be. You, this company, and most of all these fans deserve nothing less than 100%!
Star: And on that note... let's not keep you fans from seeing your next match!
(The cameras cut to a quick promo for the international tour.)
CYNTHIA HELLSING V MORGAN BAKER V TRINA ROBERTS
(The triple threat match between Trina, Cynthia and Morgan start off fast. Trina and Cynthia double team Morgan at first, but then they focus on each other once Stacy is out of the ring. Trina and Cynthia square off in the ring. Both of the trade the momentum as the match moves forward. Cynthia gets the advantage but as soon as she does, Trina fights back in the match. It’s a back and forth battle between the two of them before Morgan gets back into the match. Morgan does what she can to fight them off but as quick as she’s in the match, she’s back out of it again. Morgan drives her own shoulder into the ring post when Trina sidestepped her. Cynthia, like a shark smelling blood, goes to the outside and finishes off Morgan. Cynthia goes back into the ring and takes down Trina with a double leg takedown. It doesn’t take Cynthia long before she has a handle on this match. She starts to dominate Trina. Trina starts to fight back in the closing moments of the match, even Morgan tries to get back into the ring but Cynthia kicks Morgan out of the ring before she hits her finisher on Trina. Cynthia stands tall in the end, after a successful pin attempt.)
Jr Freeman: Trina tried her best here.
Alf: She did. Cynthia though, I think she’s angry she got left off the PPV card, so she came out and took everyone out. Who can blame her?
JR Freeman: Nobody really. Trina needs to start winning matches though.
Alf: Oh, no doubt. This match is a set back for her, in a long list of setbacks. Sooner or later she’s going to have to figure out how to win.
Jr Freeman:That she does.
WINNER= Cynthia Hellsing
(The Show returns from commercial break as the crowd is waiting for the next segment of the show, chanting and singing. The arena erupts when “Adrenaline” plays through the arena. David’s music brings the crowd to their feet. As his wife, Maria steps out from the back and onto the stage before heading to the ring holding a binder.)
Jr Freeman: Here comes Maria Angel. She’s going to get right down to business, no BS.
Alf: Good. I never thought I’d see Apex without David at the show...
(Maria climbs into the ring, and takes a microphone, as she smiles hearing the crowd chanting for David.)
Maria Angel-Shane: Seeing as my husband has already made his statement about us stepping back from an active role in this company. I am here tonight to finish something that he started back in Anaheim...and that is the performance review for the current...ly suspended General Manager of Riot. So Manny Martinez, I’m waiting…
(Maria lowered her microphone and stood waiting in the center of the ring. Manny walks out with a smug look on his face, no music this time. He has a bandage across his head from the match he was in. He’s wearing a white tux, and a red tie. Once down the ramp, he climbs into the ring, looking at Maria. He raises the mic to his face with the cockiest of attitudes)
Manny Martinez: Sup? Did you call?
(Maria smiled while biting her cheek, she looked at him raising her microphone.)
Maria Angel-Shane: Does this really seem like a time to be informal? I hold in my hand the full report by David on your performance. I have the power to throw all of it out the window and just wash our hands of you. I here because David wanted to give you a fair chance, despite everything.
Manny: informal? Yes, always a good time to wear suits. You know this. Besides, it’s not every day these filthy people get to see a person with style. I mean c’mon, they have rotting teeth here. I almost didn’t even want to come because the air outside smells so…. Garbage like. PLUS! There’s a beautiful woman in front of me.
Maria: a married woman, and your boss one way or the other. My husband finished your review at Center Stage before you placed your hands on him.
Manny: It was the other way around if I recall. HE put his hands on me. He had it out for since I got here him and that…..woman ever since I got here.
(Maria opened the binder, and held up her microphone.)
Maria: David did not have it out for you, and despite the altercation at Center Stage. David finished his review, and your letter of reinstatement as General Manager. however...
(The crowd booed, Maria shook her head. She closed the binder and looked at the crowd. Manny snatches the paper from Maria’s hand before he runs around the ring in excitement.)
Manny: I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU ALL THAT I’M TRUSTWORTHY. See, I would never do anything that I got accused of. And ALL you people need to bow down to me, RIGHT now.
(Manny turns to Maria for a second with a smirk across his face.)
Manny: You know…. If your husband can’t do his duties as a father. I can step in.
(Maria watched him run around and listened to his comments before she shook her head. Manny stood there with a grin on his face, looking Maria up and down.)
Maria: Now, now Manny...you should really listen to this before you celebrate anything.
(Maria took her binder back, she opened it back up.)
Maria: Because of your outstanding warrants in California for your assault on David Shane...this entire review is nulled and void. Your reinstatement to the general manager position is not happening…
Manny: Huh? That's bullshit.
Maria: It is isn’t it?
(Maria smiled walking in close…)
Maria: I issued a warrant for your arrest, Manny. Did you really think that you’d get away with breaking a contract in this company?
Manny: you little bitch…. Why i’d oughta…..
(At Least Ten undercover Police officers had emerged from the crowd surrounding the ring, three were now standing beside Maria.)
Maria: You knew that David wasn’t medically cleared, you knew the extent of his injuries and you took advantage of it. Even while you were suspended you still receive medical reports for all members of our roster...that included the agreement made between Star and David inorder for him to be within the arena that night. The company is also pressing charges against you on behalf of Amelia Emery for the forgery and modifications of her medical reports that cost her the United Title.
(The arena was on their feet celebrating, as the police placed handcuffs on Manny.)
Maria: Get him out of here.
Manny: fuck you and the Lopez family and Amelia. That dirty whore.
(He gets carried away by the cops, he tries to come back towards the ring and charge at Maria, but he gets dragged away aggressively.)
Jr Freeman: Good!
Alf: The bastard deserves this, ALL OF THIS!
(At the top of the ramp now, the cops are still pulling Manny away before…… Gracie comes charging out from the back like a bat out of hell! She knocks everyone over, including Manny. The crowd erupts in cheers! She goes off on Manny.)
Jr Freeman: good lord!
Alf: She did warn him, if he said the Lopez name again, she was going to hunt him down!
(Gracie leaps on him of manny, throwing left and rights onto his head, stiff shots at that. The police officers pull, Gracie back. Manny is pushing himself away from her up the ramp using his legs. He gets to the video boards and puts his back to the boards, as a police officer helps him to his feet. They get themselves settled as Maria has Gracie at ringside, the two of them talking.)
JR Freeman: God, I’ve never seen this much anger from Gracie before.
Alf: I have. Trust me, it’s not a pretty sight. She’s probably talking it over with Maria, and trying to cool down a bit.
(Manny is talking trash, as Star Stormz walked from the back. Manny pulls away from the police and falls to his knees at the feet of Star.)
Manny: Oh finally! Someone that will listen to me. Suspend that bitch at ringside, she deserves it! She hit a cop too! Fire her, suspend her, do anything to get her out of MY sight.
Star Stormz: Oh… I’ll do “anything” and I sure will get her out of your sight. Because you, Manny Rodriguez, are as of this moment, relieved of your status as Riot General Manager. PERMANENTLY. Not a suspension… or a leave of absence… YOU’RE FIRED!!!
(Manny started yelling and fighting back the cops that were holding him back)
Star Stormz: OH! And I have already hired your replacement. Why don’t you say hi?
(“HELL YEAH” by Rev Theory hits as the crowd goes crazy. Star smirks towards Manny)
JR: IS IT??
Alf: COULD IT BE??
(From behind the curtain walks PWS Legend, Laura Phoenix!)
JR: IT IS! IT IS!!!
Alf: THE LEGENDARY LAURA PHOENIX!!!
(She stand there wearing her business suit and a huge grin across her face. Manny was yelling and screaming as the cops took him backstage and Laura just waved at him with a grin across her face. Once Manny is backstage, Laura turns to Star and they shake hands.)
Laura Phoenix: Thank you for this opportunity, I assure you, I will do everything in my power to elevate Riot higher than you could ever imagine. I promise you one thing… I’ll do better than the last guy.
(She laughed a bit.)
Star Stormz: A chimp would do better than him… But I know this show is in good hands with you. Between you, Eddie, and Marcus… the future of PWS APEX is bright!
Laura Phoenix: Who better to run PWS than 3 PWS legends?
Star Stormz: My thoughts exactly. Welcome to the team.
(The cameras cut to commercial)
BELLA MADISON V STACY O'BRIEN
(The bell rings for the match, Stacy and Bella do some chain wrestling to start with. Stacy does pretty well with it. She throws Bella into the ropes but that was her downfall. Bella bounced off the ropes and hit her with a shoulder tackle, that rattled the insides of Stacy. Bella stays on the attack for a long good while. They fight to the outside of the ring for a few minutes before they go back into the ring. When they returned into the Stacy started to get back into the match. Stacy stays in the control of the match, but it starts to slowly turn into a back and forth match. This is when the match started to go towards Bella. Bella starts to dominate the match again, and it doesn’t take too long before Bella hooked Stacy into her finisher. Bella floored Stacy on the mat before she climbed on top of her. The ref got down as well and counted for the 3 count.)
JR Freeman: Bella picked up the win here.
Alf: She did. Stacy gave her the best effort that she could, but Bella was too strong at the end of the day. She can learn from this.
JR Freeman: She can, she’s still young.
Alf: She is, I’m sure once she figures it out, she’ll start to get on a roll.
WINNER= Bella Madison
(The show returns backstage, we see Manny being hauled out of the arena by the local cops to ship him back to California where has a warrant)
Manny: You better stop pushing me or else!
(The cops don’t say a word, they keep shoving Manny towards the exit of the area.)
Manny: You’re hurting meeeeee!!!
Jr Freeman: Seems like Manny is trying to get himself out of this.
Alf: Serves the bastard right. I can’t wait to be there with Maria in court when they arraign the bastard.
(Once outside the arena door, the parking lot. They shove Manny into an unmarked police car. At first, he tries to fight himself away from the cops and from trying to enter the police car but it doesn’t seem to work. Every time he tugs, the cuffs get tighter around his wrists, which are in the back. The cops walk away from the car for a moment, leaving him in there.)
JR Freeman: He looks sad.
Alf: GOOD!
(All of the sudden lights start to shine on the car. The camera turns back to see a semi-truck with it’s lights on, but we can’t see who’s in it.)
JR freeman: The hell?
Alf: Someone’s in that truck.
(The truck starts to rev up its engine a bit before it moves forward, very fast. The Cameraman jumps out of the way, but it catches the semi crash into the side of the unmarked police car, T bone style!)
Jr Freeman: What the hell is this!? Who the hell is behind that wheel??!
Alf: THE BASTARD DESERVES THIS!
(The truck comes to a stop with it crashed into the car. It takes a moment before the person behind the wheel of the truck gets out of the car. Once the person does, it turns out to be Gracie Lopez! The crowd cheers for it, loudly. Some holy shit chants start breaking out as well. She has an almost sinister smirk on her face after doing that.)
Gracie Lopez: I told you, keep my family's name out of your mouth you bitch! You deserve everything you got coming for you!
JR Freeman: Oh my god!
Alf: YEAH! I saw Maria and Gracie whispering in the ring earlier, maybe this was it. I LOVE IT
(The camera turns back to the car for a second to see the damage the truck did to it. But when it turns back to the truck, Gracie is already gone, it’s like she vanished in thin air.)
Jr Freeman: If being fired wasn’t bad enough…..
Alf: Stop. Just stop, will you? Stop trying to make people feel sorry for him. You did that at the PPV as well. He deserves this. ALL of it!
(The show fades to commercial break with the camera looking at the wreckage of the car, and medical officials start rushing in to get Manny out of that mess.)
(The show comes back from commercial. The camera is facing JR Freeman and Alf who are seated at ringside.)
Jr Freeman: Tonight has been eventful, to say the least.
Alf: You got that right. Manny Martinez got his ass fired tonight and Oh MAN! Was that an amazing sight to see. Plus Gracie got her hands on him too after he went after her family.
JR Freeman: In a very violent fashion to say the least.
Alf: Violent? Have you paid attention to Gracie’s career? She threw someone through a car window before. She has this mean streak to her, we all know this. Manny got what was coming!
JR Freeman: We also some good matches too.
Alf: Yeah we have, this crowd is going to go home happy I think. Even though they haven’t seen their hometown hero’s yet.
JR But that’s about to change! I’m told it is time for the Aussie Showcase!
(“MZ Hyde” plays and the fans go wild! Hometown hero, and PWS:APEX World Heavyweight Champion, Alexis Makarios comes out from behind the curtain with a huge grin on her face. She soaks in the fans admiration as she walks down to the ring.)
Alf: It’s deafening how loud these fans are right now.
JR: I’m not surprised! She’s the champion… she’s from here… what did you expect?
(She gets into the ring and hoists the belt over her shoulder as she is handed a mic. She motions for the crowd to quiet down a bit so she can speak.)
Alexis: Thank you, Sydney, for the amazing and warm welcome. I am so honored to stand here before you guys, in my hometown, as the World Champion. It makes my heart feel such joy to be able to represent the good people of Australia in this business the way I have. Too bad I wasn’t booked for a regular match here tonight… right?
(The fans boo’d. She chuckled a little)
Alexis: But what we got in store for you is much… much better. See, there’s a local talent that I am sure many of you have seen wrestle through the indy circuit. And she’s just ready and waiting for her chance in the spotlight. But… I have something else in mind first. I was thinking the whole way here about how I am not the ONLY Aussie on the roster who is not booked on the show. And I was thinking that we should turn this one on one exhibition into a tag team exhibition! But first, Jenn, can you come out here and talk to me… please?
(She lowered her mic as the fans started to chant “JENN! JENN!”. Alexis smiled and chanted along with them. At first, nothing happens.)
JR Freeman: I guess we’re not going to have this?
(A moment goes by before "Up, Up, And Away" by Kid Cudi starts to blare in the arena. The crowd erupts in cheers for Jenn! Alexis smiled in the ring as she awaited Jenn. Jenn walks out from Gorilla in her street clothes with a smile and yet a confused look on her face. Her hair is tied in a ponytail as well. She walks down the ramp. She climbs the steps but stands on the apron before getting into the ring.)
Alexis: I understand your hesitation, but I promise you this is not a trick or a joke, or anything of the sort. You deserve to be shown off in this showcase just as much as I do, if not more.
(Jenn sticks one of her legs into the ropes. Soon her whole body goes into the ring, but she nods at everything that Alexis had to say.)
Alexis: I’m really glad you decided to come out here. I’ve really missed having you around. Things just arent the same. So tonight, you and I are gonna go head to head with 2 upcoming hometown talents… that is… IF you’ll have me as your tag team partner?
(Jenn grabs a mic from the stagehand from ringside.)
Jenn: Well, I did say, if you wanted to talk, let me know. And you did just that. Honestly, I didn’t think you would, but you proved me wrong. Between our spat and finding out my sister is real, and having to deal with that stuff, which I still haven’t gotten to talk to her, it just felt…. Like my world was caving in on me and the most trusted person…. Didn’t care.
Alexis: You know that’s not true… I do care. You and I are like 2 peas in a pod. We have always been there to keep each other on track. And look what happens when we are on different pages? We both fall apart. I’m sorry things went the way they did. You know what snapped me back to reality during that god awful time? Eddie gave me a video of all the things I had said to you. And I broke down. I’m not ashamed to say that I cried. I was awful to you, and I’m sorry. We need each other to keep ourselves sane. And I want to be there with you when you meet your sister. What do ya say?
Jenn: you know, I told Eddie not to get involved in this, but he’s already sticking his neck out with the sister drama.
(Jenn chuckles)
Jenn: Yeah, I want you there. I’m glad that we put this stuff behind us and we can get back on track.
(Alexis hugged Jenn, as the fans cheered.)
Alexis: So, what do ya say we show these two local talents how to properly have a tag match?
Jenn: Well, I’m not dressed to compete or I haven’t even stretched yet…. Butttttttt…. Let’s do it anyway!
(Jenn drops her mic, she rips the hair tie from the ponytail. Her hair falls into place, she’s ready to go. The two local talents come out to a local fan pop. The referee checks all 4 ladies for weapons before ringing the bell.)
DING DING DING
(The match starts with Jenn and Talent#1 in the ring. They fight back and forth for several minutes, with Jenn taking control after a while. She works over the local talent before tagging out to Alexis. Alexis comes in and works over the talent some until the talent is able to tag out. The second talent enters the ring and takes control of Alexis, preventing her from tagging out. Jenn gets the fans clapping to motivate Alexis. Alexis gets to her feet and gets a burst of energy , taking control back in the match. She hits the second talent with a Greetings From Australia (eclipse) but instead of going for the pin, she tags out to Jenn. Alexis turns around and takes the first talent off the apron while Jenn hits the second talent with an Aussie Nightmare (California Dream). The talent screams out in pain as she taps out.)
DING DING DING
Meg: Your winners by submission… ALEXIS MAKARIOS AND JENNIFER CARPENTER-LOPEZ!!!
(Alexis slides back in the ring and they hold each other’s hands up in victory before sharing a hug in the ring.)
Alf: I’m so glad these two are on the same page again.
JR: Jenn wanted Alexis to prove that she was sorry and Alexis did so.
Alf: By taking the time to call Jenn out, and share the spotlight with her, said more than any words could.
MAIN EVENT
MALACHI V RICHARD RIDER
(“I’m Sexy And I Know It” by LMFAO echoes through the arena.)
Meg Reynolds: It is time for our main event and it is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, hailing from Hollywood, Florida, weighing in at 221 pounds, “Hollywood” Richard Rider!
(Richard Rider appears slowly from the back as 3 people swarm around him taking pictures with small disposable cameras. He poses at the top of the ramp as his hair blows in the wind by a nearby wind machine. He makes his way past them and into the ring where they continue to take pictures until their cameras are full and they head backstage. He stands in the ring awaiting his opponent.)
JR Freeman: So I was informed that Rider was almost kicked out of the arena earlier tonight for some...less than reprehensible actions
Alfonso Banks: That was completely innocent, some of these girls will scream ‘rape’ at a simple hello.
JR: Oh sure, right! There was more than one! Sexual harassment suits are going to be flying because of this troll.
Meg Reynolds: And his opponent...
(The quiet beginning of “Blood//Water” begins playing through the speakers as Malachi enters the arena to a rousing chorus of boos with a smattering of cheers.)
Meg Reynolds: He hails from Waterford, Ireland, weighing in at 180 pounds, this is Malachi!
(He simply stares around at the crowd with a look of utter disdain as he walks down the ramp towards the ring, climbing the steps and entering through the ropes. He climbs the turnbuckle and throws his arms to the side while staring out at the crowd again as his music fades away.)
JR: The ever present chip on the shoulder of Malachi O’Connell and tonight he has shown up with one goal in mind....win.
Alf: And against the arrogant Richard Rider....the smugness level is at an all time high.
*DING DING*
(The two men face off in the middle of the ring and Rider starts to spout off at the mouth and Malachi just smuggly looks at him. Both men come to the center of the ring and look to gain an advantage. Malachi and Rider grab hands but before Rider and get the other one, Malachi kicks the other hand away and take a wrist lock.
Rider stands and looks at Malachi in disgust. Rider picks up Malachi and goes for a body slam but Malachi holds on to the wrist lock and Rider falls to the canvas. Rider then tries to go for a Lucha style takedown pulling Malachi across the ring but again Malachi still hangs on to the wrist lock.)
Alf: Malachi has that wrist lock in tight, Rider can’t really do much.
JR: You can flip around all you want, but with only one hand, you are limited. Malachi knows this.
(Rider looks at Malachi and tells him to let go of his wrist. Malachi just shakes his head with a smile on his face. Rider then picks up Malachi onto his shoulder for an airplane spin but Malachi wiggles his way out of the move and falls back on his feet still holding on to the wrist lock.)
Alf: I think Malachi is having a little too much fun with this.
JR: I think so too
(Rider works his way back up to his feet and then delivers a poke right in the eye to break the hold. Rider begins to lay in some chops in the corner on Malachi and take him to the ropes to whip him off to the other side but Malachi ducks under and grabs hold of the wrist lock and takes down Rider again.)
Alf: Rider thought he was in the clear… but he wasn’t
JR: Rider needs to check his ego if he wants to win. He can’t win by strutting around like he normally does.
(Rider claws at Malachi’s hold on him, trying to wiggle free once more. Malachi shakes his head at Rider and pulls him in, dropping him to the mat with a DDT. Rider bounces on the mat. Instead of attempting a pinfall, Malachi gets to his feet and lifts Rider to his feet. Rider is kind of out of it, as Malachi ran towards the ropes, and jumped off, delivering a cutter to Rider.)
Alf: UH OH!
JR: Did he just… do the “Blast From The Past”?
Alf: He sure did!
JR: Oh boy, what a middle finger to the United Champion, Miles Kasey!
(Malachi goes for a pin, but Rider barely kicks out at 2. Malachi, rather annoyed, grabs Rider by the hair and pulls him up to his feet. Rider punches Malachi in the gut and hits the ropes going for a springboard moonsault but Malachi catches him on his shoulders and drops him immediately with the Emerald Flowsion)
JR: PURE MALICE!!!! That has got to be it!
1....
2....
3!!!!
*DING DING DING*
Meg Reynolds: Here is the winner of the match, MALACHI!!!!
Alf: This match was so beyond one sided, Rider never stood a chance!
JR: It was very much a cat and mouse game, Malachi at the end of the night, simply stronger, a lot faster and a lot smarter that good ole Dicky!
WINNER= MALACHI
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING MAY BE UNSUITABLE FOR YOUNGER VIEWERS! PARENTAL DIGRESSION IS ADVISED!!!!
(The scene opens to the blackened edge of the Darkest Carnivals fairground as the freaks suddenly jump to life cackling and hissing because completely stoic...ice in their veins...approaches Mack McKane twirling his knife excitedly and next to him with the most treacherous look of fierce defiance stands Jack Russow. It's not long before they're completely surrounded as Jack paces around the circle absolutely snarling and glaring daggers at the vacuous monstrosities that have plagued his life and ruined his family for far too long. It almost doesn't sound like his voice when he snarls…)
Jack Russow: FIND ME YOUR HANDLER, YOU CREEPY LITTLE COCK GOBLINS.
"A-HAAAAAAA!!!"
(The circle parts as the Reverend Synister dances, literally dances forward twirling with his arms outstretched.)
Reverend Synister: BABY "ICEMAN"!!! Oh this IS A happy day! O Happy Day, INDEED!!!
Jack Russow: Cut the bullshit, fat boy. You're gonna listen to every word I have to say.
Reverend Synister: Oh? AM I now? Pray tell, cur...why SHOULD I?
Jack Russow: Because your fucking grasp on all our lives has gone far enough you slimy sonuvabitch. You got what you wanted...we're here...what do I have to do to get you the FUCK out of all our lives?
Reverend Synister: AH-ah! YOU...are not the right misfit toy!!! Where is my little Princess? I do miss her...somethin' POWERFUL fierce!
Mack McKane: What IS it with you and the girl...you a pedo? Ya know she's legal now, innit? Surely that's slaked your thirst-
Reverend Synister: O-HO!!! MY PRODIGAL LAMB!!!
(Syn beams from ear to ear swaggering over to Mack as we see the hairs on the back of Macks neck literally stand on end.)
Reverend Synister: ...do they know?
Mack McKane: Yeah...they know...what's it to yas?
Reverend Synister: I know you, sniveling whelp! I know...the bloodstained little runt that fled for his life. And I know…
(Syn flies around Mack putting his lips right up to his ear absolutely growling...)
Reverend Synister: ...you wouldn't have the stones...to tell it all, boy…that's a lovely little strumpet you been spendin' time with...
Jack Russow: ENOUGH!
Reverend synister: I WILL TELL *YOU* WHEN IT IS ENOUGH, CUR!!! YOU ARE ON MY LAND NOW!!! I OWN YOU!!!
(Syn presses his forehead to an almost catatonic Mack's as he whispers…)
Reverend Synister: ...you have led them to my doorstep...tell me, child...should I reward you? Or punish you.
(Syn sways violently away from Mack laughing at all of his freaks who return the ruckus as Mack begins to visibly shake.)
Reverend Synister: To REWARD you...would give you a quick DEATH!!! But to punish...yeeeees...yes I think...you will know more pain...than you have ever felt.
(Suddenly we hear a cocking sound as Syn's face lights up and he whirls around happily to see Jack Russow has trained a .44 Magnum pointed directly at his head. Syn isn't afraid...he dances and claps happily.)
Reverend Synister: OHHHHH MY CHILD!!! YES!!! YES YES YES!!! *THERE* IT IS!!! THERE IS THE LAST DITCH EFFORT!!! THERE is the "Best Laid Plans"!!! Oh you ARE a treasure! Speak, child! You now have my ear!!!
Jack Russow: ...you're going to pack your little sideshow...you're gonna leave this country...you are NEVER going to write so much as a TEXT MESSAGE to Bella Madison...but before you do all THAT, you grungy motherfucker…
...you're gonna give me my Goddamn father back...
(Syn is absolutely elated swaying around before snapping his fingers...the hulking executioner flings Levi to his knees by the biker chains constricting his neck, hands, and feet. The hair is matted to Levi's face as he's caked in blood and filth. Jack gulps and almost loses his senses for a moment before pressing the gun...square to the forehead of the approaching Syn...this elated the Rabid Ringmaster again as Syn whispers…)
Reverend Synister: ...there he is...he's all yours boy...all you have to DO…
...is pull...the trigger…
(Levi spits blood and with all pained expression...raises his head to look at Jack who is looking at him with tears in his eyes until Jack cranes his neck and absolutely snarls in Syns face who snarls right back. Jack tenses and we see his finger start to squeeze…)
"STOP."
(Jack hesitates as he turns back to Levi who, as bloodied and battered as he is...staggers up breathing heavily.)
Levi Russow: Leave 'em alone...and I'll return to your side...for good.
Jack Russow: LIKE *HELL* YOU WILL!!!
(This actually gets a weary chuckle from Levi)
Levi Russow: ...I have been...shot, stabbed, impaled, bludgeoned, kidnapped, tortured, blown up, and embarrassed...and I did it ALL...to protect you from a life like this. After...EVERYTHING...I've done...I got eyes, kid. You're strong...stronger than I ever was. And there ain't no place for me in that world no more.
(Levi collects his thoughts as Syn looks back and forth between them curiously.)
Levi Russow: I was a terrible friend...a horrible husband...and the absolute worst father. But you...here...I got it now. You're gonna do great things without me...you've DONE great things without me...gimme this one last sacrifice.
Jack Russow: ...Shut th'fuck up.
(Levi looks confused as Jack snarls again.)
Jack Russow: WE DON'T. LEAVE ANYONE. BEHIND.
(Syn presses the gun barrel back to his head.)
Reverend Synister: ...well go ON then, pup! Save the world! Wait…
(Syn turns away and slinks up to Levi pressing their foreheads together.)
Reverend Synister: ...you wanna save your boy? You want your freedom? You can have both!!!
(Syn twirls around happily as he sways up to Jack.)
Reverend Synister: ...did you know Charlie is reading at a ninth grade level now? And little Rosie! The natural! She's just gotten the lead in her class play!
(Jack and Levi BOTH look absolutely terrified at this as Syn cackles happily)
Reverend Synister: SO! HERE...is what we're gonna DO!!! YOU two...will face each other...in one of THAT little cunts favorite playgrounds! Jack Russow...in his very first PWS match...against the LEGEND of Levi Russow...in a DEATHMATCH!!!
Levi Russow: NO!
Reverend Synister: MY...Deathmatch!!! If YOU win...Daddy Dearest goes free!!!
...but if you LOSE...you and your family...are MINE…
(Jack laughs at the notion, why wouldn't he? His dad could just lie down for him.)
Reverend Synister: ...but until then...Daddy stays with me...for…"conditioning".
(Jack pulls the hammer back down on the gun as he snarls in Syn's face.)
Jack Russow: Done.
(Jack holds out his hand…)
Levi Russow: JACK, NO
(Syn even slithers when he takes the young Russow's hand)
Reverend Synister: Done...oh my child...I HOPE you know what you're in for.
(Jack smiles as Syn cackles...and then VIOLENTLY headbutt the false prophet in the nose as hard as he can! Syn staggers back as blood begins to pour and the freaks lunge forward but Syn waves them off.)
Reverend Synister: Children!!! He's already a dead man walkin'. We will give them safe passage! PART!
(Jack snarls...but then kinda smirks with a defiant look on his face as he actually turns his back on Syn nodding his head to a still rattled Mack for them to go...Mack's eyes haven't left Syn's face as Syn realizes this and gets a wicked bloodied smile blowing him a kiss.)
Reverend Synister: ...I'll see YOU real soon too…
(Jack grabs Mack's arm and pulls him out of there as we end on a shot of Syn and the freaks laughing in Levi's face and the ever-determined look on Jack Russow's face as he and Mack disappear into the night.)
PWS (c) 2019
JR Freeman: Welcome to Sydney Australia and the first stop on the very first Apex tour overseas.
Alfonso Banks: The crowd was already on their feet when the cameras came on and we are here live in the hometown of the PWS Apex World Champion Alexis Markarios, who unfortunately isn’t scheduled to compete here tonight.
JR: that however doesn't mean we don't have a great show here for you tonight.
Alf: That is very true but we are going to start things off with a message of PWS co-owner David Shane.
(The cameras cut to the video package, where we see David Shane sitting outside his home in Orlando, Florida. He has a soft brace around his neck, as he looks at the camera trying to smile, as he takes off the sunglasses looking into the camera.
“Hello Boys and Girls…”
(the crowd popped with a “Hello, David.”)
“Unfortunately, I am not there live in Sydney. Due to some health issues involving my neck, which I will be getting surgeries for in the coming weeks. Which will cause me to take a step back from my duties here in PWS Apex. I have taken the past few days and discussed the future of the company with Star Stormz and have come to the conclusion that I will be promoting Star to the CEO and have made the moves to make her a Co-Owner of the company.”
(Cheers could be heard, David took a drink from a bottle of water off camera before continuing)
“I will be taking over as the Chairman of the Board, and taking over the Main office duties for the future development of the company. My Wife, Maria, has agreed to take over as the Head of Talent Acquisition and Development. As She and I will be taking a focus here in Orlando at the home offices for PWS Apex, and the development center in Tampa, Florida.”
“While this isn’t the last you will see of me, it will be some time before I return. Thank you all for everything, and enjoy the show”
(The scene goes black, as the crowd breaks into a “Thank you, David” chant. The camera has focused once again to the commentary table.)
Alf: This is a shocker, but I think it's for the best
JR: Star has been given the power, and has a huge support team now in the Main Offices. this could only mean things are going to get better…
Alf: It's just a shame that David won’t be here for the tour he set up…
JR: We still have a show here tonight and that includes the evaluation of the current General Manager of Friday Night Riot, Manny Martinez
Alf: But first we have a one on one contest between Dillon Crowe and Max Johnson to kick off the action.
DILLON CROWE V MAX JOHNSON
(The match starts with Max Johnson on the offense as the bell rang. He drives Crowe into the corner before he starts to ram his shoulder into the gut of Crowe. However, that outburst of offense didn’t last long with Max. When the ref peeled him away, Crowe rammed his thumb into the eyes of Max for a good while, as if he wanted to rip them out. Crowe starts to show domination of this match as it moves forward. He doesn’t seem to let the attack go either. He has Max up in the corner, driving his shoulder into his stomach, time and time again. The ref pulls Crowe away from him. This gives Johnson some time to recover and drill Crowe in the back of the head. Johnson goes for a quick pin, but it wasn’t very successful. Crowe kicked out at the count of 1. After the pin, Crowe got to a point where he’s done playing games. He starts to dominate the match when he does he doesn’t look back either. The match starts to turn ugly for Johnson, to a point where he can’t keep up anymore. Crowe finally finishes him off with his finisher, and pins him for the count of 2.)
JR Freeman: Johnson tried to fight but….
Alf: But Crowe was too much for him. Like Johnson put in a good effort but Crowe was too dominate for him to wrestle.
Jr Freeman: Hopefully he can go back to the PC and figure out what went wrong.
Alf: Honestly? Everything went wrong. Crowe was just a buzzsaw this match.
WINNER= DILLON CROW
(The cameras open up to show former PWSi Vixxxen Miss Puppies working inside a 7-11 as a cashier. On the bottom of the screen it said "EARLIER THIS WEEK")
Customer: Can I get a pepperoni pizza, please?
Miss Puppies: Sure... go down the street and go to fucking Pizza Hut and get a pepperoni pizza.
Customer: You can't talk to me like that.
Miss Puppies: I just did. What you gonna do about it?
Customer: I wanna speak to your manager.
(She turns around and yells towards the back)
Miss Puppies: TODD! WE GOT ANOTHER ONE!!!
(she turns back towards the customer with a smirk on her face as some skinny young kid, no older than 19 years old, walks out from the back.)
Todd: Yes?
Customer: Your cashier here is unfreindly, rude, and swore at me.
Todd: I'm so sorry ma'am. This behavior is completely uncalled for and she WILL be reprimanded properly. In the mean time, for the trouble, let me get some one to make that pizza you asked for, on the house.
(He motioned down towards the other side of the store and she went with another employee. Todd turned his attention towards Miss Puppies)
Todd: It's bad enough that we have to call you Miss Puppies... you CANT treat customers like that! The cost of that pizza is coming out of your paycheck.
(While he was in the middle of leturing her, her phone rang. She pulled it out from her cleavage.)
Miss Puppies: This is important... gotta take it...
(She answered the phone.)
Miss Puppies: Hello? YES! ....... You don't gotta ask me twice! I'll see ya on Friday!
(She hung up and put the phone back in her cleavage. She ripped off her nametag and threw it at Todd)
Miss Puppies: I QUIT!
(She jumped over the counter and headed towards the door)
Todd: Where are you going?
Miss Puppies: IM GOING TO RIOT! PEACE OUT, BITCHES!
(She grabs a beer out of the cooler and opens it, looks right at Todd)
Miss Puppies: TAKE IT OUT OF MY CHECK.
(on that note she walked out the door adn the cameras cut back to ringside)
(The cameras come back from a commercial to show an empty ring. Meg Reynolds climbed in the ring and held her mic up.)
Meg: Please, allow me to introduce to you, the new Co-Owner and CEO of PWS APEX ... MISS STAR STORMZ!!!
(The fans cheered as Star Stormz came out from the back and stood at the top of the ramp. She waited a moment for the fans to die down.)
Star: Thank you all so much. I am truly honored to get this promotion to Co-Owner and CEO of PWS APEX. This place means the world to me, it's home. And I promise that I am going to do everything in my power to keep it running smoothly, and to provide you guys with the best possible entertainment we can offer! Now, to do that, I have to find some one to replace me in the positions of President and COO. Now, that's a lot for one person to handle, and some days I am not sure how I managed to do it all on my own. Which is why I have decided to hire 2 people to fill these positions.
(She stepped off to the side a little bit.)
Star: I spent countless hours going through resumes, and contacting people, and I am happy with the two people I have chosen. They know not only this business, but this company, inside out. I am very confident in their abilities to lead and help me to bring this company to heights that I could never take it alone. So first, let me introduce the new Chief of Operations for PWS APEX ... EDDIE LOPEZ!!
(The crowd erupts in cheers as “Last day under the sun” By Volbeat starts to blare throughout the arena and out comes the PWS legend and Hall of Famer, Eddie Lopez! He’s wearing jeans and a black sports coat.)
Eddie: Whoever thought that I would be a COO of a company....and look! There's a new sheriff in town and unlike the other guy in power. I won't abuse it. If you have something to say, or need a match done, knock on my door, it'll be open for anyone.
Star: That's what we like to hear. And now, allow me to introduce my selection for PWS APEX President... MARCUS CAGE!
(Hail to the Chief begins to play and red, white, and blue confetti/streamers/and balloons fall from the ceiling. Marcus comes out from the back and stands on the opposite side of Star wearing a red, white, and blue suit. Following him were 4 men dressed in black, posing as "secret service". He had a huge grin over his face as she waved to the fans, and they were chanting his name.)
Marcus: Thank you, my fellow Americans and worldwide audience. Your voices have been heard, and will continue to be heard. MY first act as your president is going to be NO NEW TAXES! I will scour the nation, the world even, to make the best cabinet possible...
(Star leaned over to him.)
Star: Marcus... not that kind of president...
Marcus: Don't make me label you a threat to national security.
(She shook her head with a little bit of a chuckle as she stood back up straight)
Marcus: But in all seriousness, I thank you for this opportunity, Star. I know hiring a wildcard like me can be a risk... but I assure you that I am a risk worth taking! PWS is my home too, and I will work side by side with Eddie to make it the best it can be. You, this company, and most of all these fans deserve nothing less than 100%!
Star: And on that note... let's not keep you fans from seeing your next match!
(The cameras cut to a quick promo for the international tour.)
CYNTHIA HELLSING V MORGAN BAKER V TRINA ROBERTS
(The triple threat match between Trina, Cynthia and Morgan start off fast. Trina and Cynthia double team Morgan at first, but then they focus on each other once Stacy is out of the ring. Trina and Cynthia square off in the ring. Both of the trade the momentum as the match moves forward. Cynthia gets the advantage but as soon as she does, Trina fights back in the match. It’s a back and forth battle between the two of them before Morgan gets back into the match. Morgan does what she can to fight them off but as quick as she’s in the match, she’s back out of it again. Morgan drives her own shoulder into the ring post when Trina sidestepped her. Cynthia, like a shark smelling blood, goes to the outside and finishes off Morgan. Cynthia goes back into the ring and takes down Trina with a double leg takedown. It doesn’t take Cynthia long before she has a handle on this match. She starts to dominate Trina. Trina starts to fight back in the closing moments of the match, even Morgan tries to get back into the ring but Cynthia kicks Morgan out of the ring before she hits her finisher on Trina. Cynthia stands tall in the end, after a successful pin attempt.)
Jr Freeman: Trina tried her best here.
Alf: She did. Cynthia though, I think she’s angry she got left off the PPV card, so she came out and took everyone out. Who can blame her?
JR Freeman: Nobody really. Trina needs to start winning matches though.
Alf: Oh, no doubt. This match is a set back for her, in a long list of setbacks. Sooner or later she’s going to have to figure out how to win.
Jr Freeman:That she does.
WINNER= Cynthia Hellsing
(The Show returns from commercial break as the crowd is waiting for the next segment of the show, chanting and singing. The arena erupts when “Adrenaline” plays through the arena. David’s music brings the crowd to their feet. As his wife, Maria steps out from the back and onto the stage before heading to the ring holding a binder.)
Jr Freeman: Here comes Maria Angel. She’s going to get right down to business, no BS.
Alf: Good. I never thought I’d see Apex without David at the show...
(Maria climbs into the ring, and takes a microphone, as she smiles hearing the crowd chanting for David.)
Maria Angel-Shane: Seeing as my husband has already made his statement about us stepping back from an active role in this company. I am here tonight to finish something that he started back in Anaheim...and that is the performance review for the current...ly suspended General Manager of Riot. So Manny Martinez, I’m waiting…
(Maria lowered her microphone and stood waiting in the center of the ring. Manny walks out with a smug look on his face, no music this time. He has a bandage across his head from the match he was in. He’s wearing a white tux, and a red tie. Once down the ramp, he climbs into the ring, looking at Maria. He raises the mic to his face with the cockiest of attitudes)
Manny Martinez: Sup? Did you call?
(Maria smiled while biting her cheek, she looked at him raising her microphone.)
Maria Angel-Shane: Does this really seem like a time to be informal? I hold in my hand the full report by David on your performance. I have the power to throw all of it out the window and just wash our hands of you. I here because David wanted to give you a fair chance, despite everything.
Manny: informal? Yes, always a good time to wear suits. You know this. Besides, it’s not every day these filthy people get to see a person with style. I mean c’mon, they have rotting teeth here. I almost didn’t even want to come because the air outside smells so…. Garbage like. PLUS! There’s a beautiful woman in front of me.
Maria: a married woman, and your boss one way or the other. My husband finished your review at Center Stage before you placed your hands on him.
Manny: It was the other way around if I recall. HE put his hands on me. He had it out for since I got here him and that…..woman ever since I got here.
(Maria opened the binder, and held up her microphone.)
Maria: David did not have it out for you, and despite the altercation at Center Stage. David finished his review, and your letter of reinstatement as General Manager. however...
(The crowd booed, Maria shook her head. She closed the binder and looked at the crowd. Manny snatches the paper from Maria’s hand before he runs around the ring in excitement.)
Manny: I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU ALL THAT I’M TRUSTWORTHY. See, I would never do anything that I got accused of. And ALL you people need to bow down to me, RIGHT now.
(Manny turns to Maria for a second with a smirk across his face.)
Manny: You know…. If your husband can’t do his duties as a father. I can step in.
(Maria watched him run around and listened to his comments before she shook her head. Manny stood there with a grin on his face, looking Maria up and down.)
Maria: Now, now Manny...you should really listen to this before you celebrate anything.
(Maria took her binder back, she opened it back up.)
Maria: Because of your outstanding warrants in California for your assault on David Shane...this entire review is nulled and void. Your reinstatement to the general manager position is not happening…
Manny: Huh? That's bullshit.
Maria: It is isn’t it?
(Maria smiled walking in close…)
Maria: I issued a warrant for your arrest, Manny. Did you really think that you’d get away with breaking a contract in this company?
Manny: you little bitch…. Why i’d oughta…..
(At Least Ten undercover Police officers had emerged from the crowd surrounding the ring, three were now standing beside Maria.)
Maria: You knew that David wasn’t medically cleared, you knew the extent of his injuries and you took advantage of it. Even while you were suspended you still receive medical reports for all members of our roster...that included the agreement made between Star and David inorder for him to be within the arena that night. The company is also pressing charges against you on behalf of Amelia Emery for the forgery and modifications of her medical reports that cost her the United Title.
(The arena was on their feet celebrating, as the police placed handcuffs on Manny.)
Maria: Get him out of here.
Manny: fuck you and the Lopez family and Amelia. That dirty whore.
(He gets carried away by the cops, he tries to come back towards the ring and charge at Maria, but he gets dragged away aggressively.)
Jr Freeman: Good!
Alf: The bastard deserves this, ALL OF THIS!
(At the top of the ramp now, the cops are still pulling Manny away before…… Gracie comes charging out from the back like a bat out of hell! She knocks everyone over, including Manny. The crowd erupts in cheers! She goes off on Manny.)
Jr Freeman: good lord!
Alf: She did warn him, if he said the Lopez name again, she was going to hunt him down!
(Gracie leaps on him of manny, throwing left and rights onto his head, stiff shots at that. The police officers pull, Gracie back. Manny is pushing himself away from her up the ramp using his legs. He gets to the video boards and puts his back to the boards, as a police officer helps him to his feet. They get themselves settled as Maria has Gracie at ringside, the two of them talking.)
JR Freeman: God, I’ve never seen this much anger from Gracie before.
Alf: I have. Trust me, it’s not a pretty sight. She’s probably talking it over with Maria, and trying to cool down a bit.
(Manny is talking trash, as Star Stormz walked from the back. Manny pulls away from the police and falls to his knees at the feet of Star.)
Manny: Oh finally! Someone that will listen to me. Suspend that bitch at ringside, she deserves it! She hit a cop too! Fire her, suspend her, do anything to get her out of MY sight.
Star Stormz: Oh… I’ll do “anything” and I sure will get her out of your sight. Because you, Manny Rodriguez, are as of this moment, relieved of your status as Riot General Manager. PERMANENTLY. Not a suspension… or a leave of absence… YOU’RE FIRED!!!
(Manny started yelling and fighting back the cops that were holding him back)
Star Stormz: OH! And I have already hired your replacement. Why don’t you say hi?
(“HELL YEAH” by Rev Theory hits as the crowd goes crazy. Star smirks towards Manny)
JR: IS IT??
Alf: COULD IT BE??
(From behind the curtain walks PWS Legend, Laura Phoenix!)
JR: IT IS! IT IS!!!
Alf: THE LEGENDARY LAURA PHOENIX!!!
(She stand there wearing her business suit and a huge grin across her face. Manny was yelling and screaming as the cops took him backstage and Laura just waved at him with a grin across her face. Once Manny is backstage, Laura turns to Star and they shake hands.)
Laura Phoenix: Thank you for this opportunity, I assure you, I will do everything in my power to elevate Riot higher than you could ever imagine. I promise you one thing… I’ll do better than the last guy.
(She laughed a bit.)
Star Stormz: A chimp would do better than him… But I know this show is in good hands with you. Between you, Eddie, and Marcus… the future of PWS APEX is bright!
Laura Phoenix: Who better to run PWS than 3 PWS legends?
Star Stormz: My thoughts exactly. Welcome to the team.
(The cameras cut to commercial)
BELLA MADISON V STACY O'BRIEN
(The bell rings for the match, Stacy and Bella do some chain wrestling to start with. Stacy does pretty well with it. She throws Bella into the ropes but that was her downfall. Bella bounced off the ropes and hit her with a shoulder tackle, that rattled the insides of Stacy. Bella stays on the attack for a long good while. They fight to the outside of the ring for a few minutes before they go back into the ring. When they returned into the Stacy started to get back into the match. Stacy stays in the control of the match, but it starts to slowly turn into a back and forth match. This is when the match started to go towards Bella. Bella starts to dominate the match again, and it doesn’t take too long before Bella hooked Stacy into her finisher. Bella floored Stacy on the mat before she climbed on top of her. The ref got down as well and counted for the 3 count.)
JR Freeman: Bella picked up the win here.
Alf: She did. Stacy gave her the best effort that she could, but Bella was too strong at the end of the day. She can learn from this.
JR Freeman: She can, she’s still young.
Alf: She is, I’m sure once she figures it out, she’ll start to get on a roll.
WINNER= Bella Madison
(The show returns backstage, we see Manny being hauled out of the arena by the local cops to ship him back to California where has a warrant)
Manny: You better stop pushing me or else!
(The cops don’t say a word, they keep shoving Manny towards the exit of the area.)
Manny: You’re hurting meeeeee!!!
Jr Freeman: Seems like Manny is trying to get himself out of this.
Alf: Serves the bastard right. I can’t wait to be there with Maria in court when they arraign the bastard.
(Once outside the arena door, the parking lot. They shove Manny into an unmarked police car. At first, he tries to fight himself away from the cops and from trying to enter the police car but it doesn’t seem to work. Every time he tugs, the cuffs get tighter around his wrists, which are in the back. The cops walk away from the car for a moment, leaving him in there.)
JR Freeman: He looks sad.
Alf: GOOD!
(All of the sudden lights start to shine on the car. The camera turns back to see a semi-truck with it’s lights on, but we can’t see who’s in it.)
JR freeman: The hell?
Alf: Someone’s in that truck.
(The truck starts to rev up its engine a bit before it moves forward, very fast. The Cameraman jumps out of the way, but it catches the semi crash into the side of the unmarked police car, T bone style!)
Jr Freeman: What the hell is this!? Who the hell is behind that wheel??!
Alf: THE BASTARD DESERVES THIS!
(The truck comes to a stop with it crashed into the car. It takes a moment before the person behind the wheel of the truck gets out of the car. Once the person does, it turns out to be Gracie Lopez! The crowd cheers for it, loudly. Some holy shit chants start breaking out as well. She has an almost sinister smirk on her face after doing that.)
Gracie Lopez: I told you, keep my family's name out of your mouth you bitch! You deserve everything you got coming for you!
JR Freeman: Oh my god!
Alf: YEAH! I saw Maria and Gracie whispering in the ring earlier, maybe this was it. I LOVE IT
(The camera turns back to the car for a second to see the damage the truck did to it. But when it turns back to the truck, Gracie is already gone, it’s like she vanished in thin air.)
Jr Freeman: If being fired wasn’t bad enough…..
Alf: Stop. Just stop, will you? Stop trying to make people feel sorry for him. You did that at the PPV as well. He deserves this. ALL of it!
(The show fades to commercial break with the camera looking at the wreckage of the car, and medical officials start rushing in to get Manny out of that mess.)
(The show comes back from commercial. The camera is facing JR Freeman and Alf who are seated at ringside.)
Jr Freeman: Tonight has been eventful, to say the least.
Alf: You got that right. Manny Martinez got his ass fired tonight and Oh MAN! Was that an amazing sight to see. Plus Gracie got her hands on him too after he went after her family.
JR Freeman: In a very violent fashion to say the least.
Alf: Violent? Have you paid attention to Gracie’s career? She threw someone through a car window before. She has this mean streak to her, we all know this. Manny got what was coming!
JR Freeman: We also some good matches too.
Alf: Yeah we have, this crowd is going to go home happy I think. Even though they haven’t seen their hometown hero’s yet.
JR But that’s about to change! I’m told it is time for the Aussie Showcase!
(“MZ Hyde” plays and the fans go wild! Hometown hero, and PWS:APEX World Heavyweight Champion, Alexis Makarios comes out from behind the curtain with a huge grin on her face. She soaks in the fans admiration as she walks down to the ring.)
Alf: It’s deafening how loud these fans are right now.
JR: I’m not surprised! She’s the champion… she’s from here… what did you expect?
(She gets into the ring and hoists the belt over her shoulder as she is handed a mic. She motions for the crowd to quiet down a bit so she can speak.)
Alexis: Thank you, Sydney, for the amazing and warm welcome. I am so honored to stand here before you guys, in my hometown, as the World Champion. It makes my heart feel such joy to be able to represent the good people of Australia in this business the way I have. Too bad I wasn’t booked for a regular match here tonight… right?
(The fans boo’d. She chuckled a little)
Alexis: But what we got in store for you is much… much better. See, there’s a local talent that I am sure many of you have seen wrestle through the indy circuit. And she’s just ready and waiting for her chance in the spotlight. But… I have something else in mind first. I was thinking the whole way here about how I am not the ONLY Aussie on the roster who is not booked on the show. And I was thinking that we should turn this one on one exhibition into a tag team exhibition! But first, Jenn, can you come out here and talk to me… please?
(She lowered her mic as the fans started to chant “JENN! JENN!”. Alexis smiled and chanted along with them. At first, nothing happens.)
JR Freeman: I guess we’re not going to have this?
(A moment goes by before "Up, Up, And Away" by Kid Cudi starts to blare in the arena. The crowd erupts in cheers for Jenn! Alexis smiled in the ring as she awaited Jenn. Jenn walks out from Gorilla in her street clothes with a smile and yet a confused look on her face. Her hair is tied in a ponytail as well. She walks down the ramp. She climbs the steps but stands on the apron before getting into the ring.)
Alexis: I understand your hesitation, but I promise you this is not a trick or a joke, or anything of the sort. You deserve to be shown off in this showcase just as much as I do, if not more.
(Jenn sticks one of her legs into the ropes. Soon her whole body goes into the ring, but she nods at everything that Alexis had to say.)
Alexis: I’m really glad you decided to come out here. I’ve really missed having you around. Things just arent the same. So tonight, you and I are gonna go head to head with 2 upcoming hometown talents… that is… IF you’ll have me as your tag team partner?
(Jenn grabs a mic from the stagehand from ringside.)
Jenn: Well, I did say, if you wanted to talk, let me know. And you did just that. Honestly, I didn’t think you would, but you proved me wrong. Between our spat and finding out my sister is real, and having to deal with that stuff, which I still haven’t gotten to talk to her, it just felt…. Like my world was caving in on me and the most trusted person…. Didn’t care.
Alexis: You know that’s not true… I do care. You and I are like 2 peas in a pod. We have always been there to keep each other on track. And look what happens when we are on different pages? We both fall apart. I’m sorry things went the way they did. You know what snapped me back to reality during that god awful time? Eddie gave me a video of all the things I had said to you. And I broke down. I’m not ashamed to say that I cried. I was awful to you, and I’m sorry. We need each other to keep ourselves sane. And I want to be there with you when you meet your sister. What do ya say?
Jenn: you know, I told Eddie not to get involved in this, but he’s already sticking his neck out with the sister drama.
(Jenn chuckles)
Jenn: Yeah, I want you there. I’m glad that we put this stuff behind us and we can get back on track.
(Alexis hugged Jenn, as the fans cheered.)
Alexis: So, what do ya say we show these two local talents how to properly have a tag match?
Jenn: Well, I’m not dressed to compete or I haven’t even stretched yet…. Butttttttt…. Let’s do it anyway!
(Jenn drops her mic, she rips the hair tie from the ponytail. Her hair falls into place, she’s ready to go. The two local talents come out to a local fan pop. The referee checks all 4 ladies for weapons before ringing the bell.)
DING DING DING
(The match starts with Jenn and Talent#1 in the ring. They fight back and forth for several minutes, with Jenn taking control after a while. She works over the local talent before tagging out to Alexis. Alexis comes in and works over the talent some until the talent is able to tag out. The second talent enters the ring and takes control of Alexis, preventing her from tagging out. Jenn gets the fans clapping to motivate Alexis. Alexis gets to her feet and gets a burst of energy , taking control back in the match. She hits the second talent with a Greetings From Australia (eclipse) but instead of going for the pin, she tags out to Jenn. Alexis turns around and takes the first talent off the apron while Jenn hits the second talent with an Aussie Nightmare (California Dream). The talent screams out in pain as she taps out.)
DING DING DING
Meg: Your winners by submission… ALEXIS MAKARIOS AND JENNIFER CARPENTER-LOPEZ!!!
(Alexis slides back in the ring and they hold each other’s hands up in victory before sharing a hug in the ring.)
Alf: I’m so glad these two are on the same page again.
JR: Jenn wanted Alexis to prove that she was sorry and Alexis did so.
Alf: By taking the time to call Jenn out, and share the spotlight with her, said more than any words could.
MAIN EVENT
MALACHI V RICHARD RIDER
(“I’m Sexy And I Know It” by LMFAO echoes through the arena.)
Meg Reynolds: It is time for our main event and it is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, hailing from Hollywood, Florida, weighing in at 221 pounds, “Hollywood” Richard Rider!
(Richard Rider appears slowly from the back as 3 people swarm around him taking pictures with small disposable cameras. He poses at the top of the ramp as his hair blows in the wind by a nearby wind machine. He makes his way past them and into the ring where they continue to take pictures until their cameras are full and they head backstage. He stands in the ring awaiting his opponent.)
JR Freeman: So I was informed that Rider was almost kicked out of the arena earlier tonight for some...less than reprehensible actions
Alfonso Banks: That was completely innocent, some of these girls will scream ‘rape’ at a simple hello.
JR: Oh sure, right! There was more than one! Sexual harassment suits are going to be flying because of this troll.
Meg Reynolds: And his opponent...
(The quiet beginning of “Blood//Water” begins playing through the speakers as Malachi enters the arena to a rousing chorus of boos with a smattering of cheers.)
Meg Reynolds: He hails from Waterford, Ireland, weighing in at 180 pounds, this is Malachi!
(He simply stares around at the crowd with a look of utter disdain as he walks down the ramp towards the ring, climbing the steps and entering through the ropes. He climbs the turnbuckle and throws his arms to the side while staring out at the crowd again as his music fades away.)
JR: The ever present chip on the shoulder of Malachi O’Connell and tonight he has shown up with one goal in mind....win.
Alf: And against the arrogant Richard Rider....the smugness level is at an all time high.
*DING DING*
(The two men face off in the middle of the ring and Rider starts to spout off at the mouth and Malachi just smuggly looks at him. Both men come to the center of the ring and look to gain an advantage. Malachi and Rider grab hands but before Rider and get the other one, Malachi kicks the other hand away and take a wrist lock.
Rider stands and looks at Malachi in disgust. Rider picks up Malachi and goes for a body slam but Malachi holds on to the wrist lock and Rider falls to the canvas. Rider then tries to go for a Lucha style takedown pulling Malachi across the ring but again Malachi still hangs on to the wrist lock.)
Alf: Malachi has that wrist lock in tight, Rider can’t really do much.
JR: You can flip around all you want, but with only one hand, you are limited. Malachi knows this.
(Rider looks at Malachi and tells him to let go of his wrist. Malachi just shakes his head with a smile on his face. Rider then picks up Malachi onto his shoulder for an airplane spin but Malachi wiggles his way out of the move and falls back on his feet still holding on to the wrist lock.)
Alf: I think Malachi is having a little too much fun with this.
JR: I think so too
(Rider works his way back up to his feet and then delivers a poke right in the eye to break the hold. Rider begins to lay in some chops in the corner on Malachi and take him to the ropes to whip him off to the other side but Malachi ducks under and grabs hold of the wrist lock and takes down Rider again.)
Alf: Rider thought he was in the clear… but he wasn’t
JR: Rider needs to check his ego if he wants to win. He can’t win by strutting around like he normally does.
(Rider claws at Malachi’s hold on him, trying to wiggle free once more. Malachi shakes his head at Rider and pulls him in, dropping him to the mat with a DDT. Rider bounces on the mat. Instead of attempting a pinfall, Malachi gets to his feet and lifts Rider to his feet. Rider is kind of out of it, as Malachi ran towards the ropes, and jumped off, delivering a cutter to Rider.)
Alf: UH OH!
JR: Did he just… do the “Blast From The Past”?
Alf: He sure did!
JR: Oh boy, what a middle finger to the United Champion, Miles Kasey!
(Malachi goes for a pin, but Rider barely kicks out at 2. Malachi, rather annoyed, grabs Rider by the hair and pulls him up to his feet. Rider punches Malachi in the gut and hits the ropes going for a springboard moonsault but Malachi catches him on his shoulders and drops him immediately with the Emerald Flowsion)
JR: PURE MALICE!!!! That has got to be it!
1....
2....
3!!!!
*DING DING DING*
Meg Reynolds: Here is the winner of the match, MALACHI!!!!
Alf: This match was so beyond one sided, Rider never stood a chance!
JR: It was very much a cat and mouse game, Malachi at the end of the night, simply stronger, a lot faster and a lot smarter that good ole Dicky!
WINNER= MALACHI
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING MAY BE UNSUITABLE FOR YOUNGER VIEWERS! PARENTAL DIGRESSION IS ADVISED!!!!
(The scene opens to the blackened edge of the Darkest Carnivals fairground as the freaks suddenly jump to life cackling and hissing because completely stoic...ice in their veins...approaches Mack McKane twirling his knife excitedly and next to him with the most treacherous look of fierce defiance stands Jack Russow. It's not long before they're completely surrounded as Jack paces around the circle absolutely snarling and glaring daggers at the vacuous monstrosities that have plagued his life and ruined his family for far too long. It almost doesn't sound like his voice when he snarls…)
Jack Russow: FIND ME YOUR HANDLER, YOU CREEPY LITTLE COCK GOBLINS.
"A-HAAAAAAA!!!"
(The circle parts as the Reverend Synister dances, literally dances forward twirling with his arms outstretched.)
Reverend Synister: BABY "ICEMAN"!!! Oh this IS A happy day! O Happy Day, INDEED!!!
Jack Russow: Cut the bullshit, fat boy. You're gonna listen to every word I have to say.
Reverend Synister: Oh? AM I now? Pray tell, cur...why SHOULD I?
Jack Russow: Because your fucking grasp on all our lives has gone far enough you slimy sonuvabitch. You got what you wanted...we're here...what do I have to do to get you the FUCK out of all our lives?
Reverend Synister: AH-ah! YOU...are not the right misfit toy!!! Where is my little Princess? I do miss her...somethin' POWERFUL fierce!
Mack McKane: What IS it with you and the girl...you a pedo? Ya know she's legal now, innit? Surely that's slaked your thirst-
Reverend Synister: O-HO!!! MY PRODIGAL LAMB!!!
(Syn beams from ear to ear swaggering over to Mack as we see the hairs on the back of Macks neck literally stand on end.)
Reverend Synister: ...do they know?
Mack McKane: Yeah...they know...what's it to yas?
Reverend Synister: I know you, sniveling whelp! I know...the bloodstained little runt that fled for his life. And I know…
(Syn flies around Mack putting his lips right up to his ear absolutely growling...)
Reverend Synister: ...you wouldn't have the stones...to tell it all, boy…that's a lovely little strumpet you been spendin' time with...
Jack Russow: ENOUGH!
Reverend synister: I WILL TELL *YOU* WHEN IT IS ENOUGH, CUR!!! YOU ARE ON MY LAND NOW!!! I OWN YOU!!!
(Syn presses his forehead to an almost catatonic Mack's as he whispers…)
Reverend Synister: ...you have led them to my doorstep...tell me, child...should I reward you? Or punish you.
(Syn sways violently away from Mack laughing at all of his freaks who return the ruckus as Mack begins to visibly shake.)
Reverend Synister: To REWARD you...would give you a quick DEATH!!! But to punish...yeeeees...yes I think...you will know more pain...than you have ever felt.
(Suddenly we hear a cocking sound as Syn's face lights up and he whirls around happily to see Jack Russow has trained a .44 Magnum pointed directly at his head. Syn isn't afraid...he dances and claps happily.)
Reverend Synister: OHHHHH MY CHILD!!! YES!!! YES YES YES!!! *THERE* IT IS!!! THERE IS THE LAST DITCH EFFORT!!! THERE is the "Best Laid Plans"!!! Oh you ARE a treasure! Speak, child! You now have my ear!!!
Jack Russow: ...you're going to pack your little sideshow...you're gonna leave this country...you are NEVER going to write so much as a TEXT MESSAGE to Bella Madison...but before you do all THAT, you grungy motherfucker…
...you're gonna give me my Goddamn father back...
(Syn is absolutely elated swaying around before snapping his fingers...the hulking executioner flings Levi to his knees by the biker chains constricting his neck, hands, and feet. The hair is matted to Levi's face as he's caked in blood and filth. Jack gulps and almost loses his senses for a moment before pressing the gun...square to the forehead of the approaching Syn...this elated the Rabid Ringmaster again as Syn whispers…)
Reverend Synister: ...there he is...he's all yours boy...all you have to DO…
...is pull...the trigger…
(Levi spits blood and with all pained expression...raises his head to look at Jack who is looking at him with tears in his eyes until Jack cranes his neck and absolutely snarls in Syns face who snarls right back. Jack tenses and we see his finger start to squeeze…)
"STOP."
(Jack hesitates as he turns back to Levi who, as bloodied and battered as he is...staggers up breathing heavily.)
Levi Russow: Leave 'em alone...and I'll return to your side...for good.
Jack Russow: LIKE *HELL* YOU WILL!!!
(This actually gets a weary chuckle from Levi)
Levi Russow: ...I have been...shot, stabbed, impaled, bludgeoned, kidnapped, tortured, blown up, and embarrassed...and I did it ALL...to protect you from a life like this. After...EVERYTHING...I've done...I got eyes, kid. You're strong...stronger than I ever was. And there ain't no place for me in that world no more.
(Levi collects his thoughts as Syn looks back and forth between them curiously.)
Levi Russow: I was a terrible friend...a horrible husband...and the absolute worst father. But you...here...I got it now. You're gonna do great things without me...you've DONE great things without me...gimme this one last sacrifice.
Jack Russow: ...Shut th'fuck up.
(Levi looks confused as Jack snarls again.)
Jack Russow: WE DON'T. LEAVE ANYONE. BEHIND.
(Syn presses the gun barrel back to his head.)
Reverend Synister: ...well go ON then, pup! Save the world! Wait…
(Syn turns away and slinks up to Levi pressing their foreheads together.)
Reverend Synister: ...you wanna save your boy? You want your freedom? You can have both!!!
(Syn twirls around happily as he sways up to Jack.)
Reverend Synister: ...did you know Charlie is reading at a ninth grade level now? And little Rosie! The natural! She's just gotten the lead in her class play!
(Jack and Levi BOTH look absolutely terrified at this as Syn cackles happily)
Reverend Synister: SO! HERE...is what we're gonna DO!!! YOU two...will face each other...in one of THAT little cunts favorite playgrounds! Jack Russow...in his very first PWS match...against the LEGEND of Levi Russow...in a DEATHMATCH!!!
Levi Russow: NO!
Reverend Synister: MY...Deathmatch!!! If YOU win...Daddy Dearest goes free!!!
...but if you LOSE...you and your family...are MINE…
(Jack laughs at the notion, why wouldn't he? His dad could just lie down for him.)
Reverend Synister: ...but until then...Daddy stays with me...for…"conditioning".
(Jack pulls the hammer back down on the gun as he snarls in Syn's face.)
Jack Russow: Done.
(Jack holds out his hand…)
Levi Russow: JACK, NO
(Syn even slithers when he takes the young Russow's hand)
Reverend Synister: Done...oh my child...I HOPE you know what you're in for.
(Jack smiles as Syn cackles...and then VIOLENTLY headbutt the false prophet in the nose as hard as he can! Syn staggers back as blood begins to pour and the freaks lunge forward but Syn waves them off.)
Reverend Synister: Children!!! He's already a dead man walkin'. We will give them safe passage! PART!
(Jack snarls...but then kinda smirks with a defiant look on his face as he actually turns his back on Syn nodding his head to a still rattled Mack for them to go...Mack's eyes haven't left Syn's face as Syn realizes this and gets a wicked bloodied smile blowing him a kiss.)
Reverend Synister: ...I'll see YOU real soon too…
(Jack grabs Mack's arm and pulls him out of there as we end on a shot of Syn and the freaks laughing in Levi's face and the ever-determined look on Jack Russow's face as he and Mack disappear into the night.)
