Best In The World Series
October 13th, 2018 LIVE! In From The Fumin Kyosai Super ARENA IN OSAKA, Japan!
(The camera fades into The Fumin Kyosai Super Arena with the view turning all around the arena to the number of people that are in attendance before we are brought back towards the signature commentators of Mark Stephens and Daniel Wilson sitting at ringside.)
Mark Stephens: Live from The Fumin Kyosai Super Arena in Osaka, Japan!… WE ARE STRONG STYLE WRESTLING! The fifth round of The Best In The World Series has started right here with our main event being one that everyone will be paying close attention to with the two frontrunners in this tournament that has remained undefeated throughout the entire competition!
Daniel Wilson: The Queen of Strong Style Wrestling stands in the ring once more to show the entire world just what she can do within those ropes! Aria Jaxon competes against Steven Cassidy for who will be known as the definitive leader of A Block in the tournament! However, there are more fights that are bound to happen on this show with The Phantom Troupe dominating one of the outings!
Mark Stephens: The former reigning SSW Heritage Champion in Khmaoch Sangkat goes up against the man that has replaced Masanori Kawada in the tournament, CM Nas! This would have been a match that everyone would have been looking forward to, but tonight, we look forward to seeing two major forces of The Phantom Troupe collide for the very first time!
Daniel Wilson: This tournament is what everyone has been looking forward to and now, we’re going to see the lines drawn of who will be making their way towards the finals at Clash of the Dragons!
(The camera turns away from the announce table and over towards the ring where Saya Takada has taken center stage in the middle of the ring.)
Saya Takada: The following contest is scheduled for one fall… AND IS A BEST IN THE WORLD SERIES A BLOCK MATCH!!!
(The camera turns into the ring to see that April Song and Falke Halstenberg have both already made their way into the ring while the commentary introductions were happening.)
Saya Takada: Introducing first, he is from Hamburg, Germany… weighing in at 235 pounds… representing The Phantom Troupe… “THE RING MASTERMIND”... FAALLLKKKKEEEEE HAALLLSSSTTTEEENNNBBBEEERRRRGGGGG!!!
Daniel Wilson: One of the smartest men that have set foot in the wrestling ring, Falke Halstenberg is a technical savant when it comes to the abilities that he is able to showcase inside of those ropes! Tonight, he could very well prove those talents once more!
(After Falke Halstenberg steps forward into the ring to taunt and make note of his introduction, Saya turns her attention towards his opponent.)
Saya Takada: Introducing his opponent, she is from Colorado Springs, Colorado… she weighed in tonight at 120 pounds… representing Ronin… “THE PROFESSIONAL”... APPRRRIIIILLLLL SOONNNGGGGG!!!
Mark Stephens: After what was a disappointing defeat a-- WAIT A MINUTE! MATIAS NAVARRO IS OUT HERE! MATIAS HASN’T BEEN SEEN IN MONTHS AND HE HAS JUST BLASTED APRIL SONG FROM BEHIND WITH A DISCUS BACK ELBOW! April drops down with Matias lifting her to her feet with a smile on his face DROPPING HER WITH BLOOD MONEY! THE HAMMERLOCK DDT HAS SPIKED THE HEAD OF APRIL INTO THE CANVAS BEFORE HE ROLLS UP AND STARES DIRECTLY TOWARDS FALKE STANDING ACROSS FROM THEM!
Daniel Wilson: Falke Halstenberg is holding up his hands as he doesn’t have any qualms with Matias Navarro BUT THE MAESTRO STILL SPRINTS IN AND LANDS A RUNNING DROPKICK INTO HIS CHEST THAT SENDS HIM BACK INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! Falke collides into the turnbuckle and slumps down to the floor when Matias stands up to his feet and points towards The Phantom Troupe member! He smiles as he sprints in LEAPING IN THE AIR FOR THE BENJAMIN’S BULLSEYE! THE RUNNING DOUBLE KNEE STRIKE RIGHT INTO FALKE THAT KNOCKS HIM RIGHT OUT! MATIAS IS MAKING A STRONG RETURN HERE IN STRONG STYLE WRESTLING AS HE LOOKS OUT WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE! Matias walks over towards Saya Takada and snatches the microphone away from her before making his way to the center of the ring!
Matias Navarro: For those of you who have forgotten who I am, let me remind you of exactly who I am. My name is Matias Navarro and what you have just witnessed, it has been what Tres Comas Club has brought me into the faction to do. I have been sitting on the sidelines since my failed attempt to be known as the number one contender to the SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship, training and preparing myself for when I would make my return to The Land of the Rising Sun, and I have decided that now will be the time when I make my statement known to the world. The SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship belongs to Tres Comas Club… but not to Andre Virgo. The championship belongs to me and I’m declaring my name in the hat for who should have the opportunity to be the challenger for that championship. Why now? Because I can.
(Matias Navarro drops the microphone and exits the ring to leave the ring with a smile on his face. The audience looks with surprise and shock as the Young Lions at ringside assist April Song and Falke Halstenberg out of the arena. Once the ring has been cleared, the camera fades backstage to see Miles Taylor watching this with a nodding reaction before he turns towards the camera that was pointed on him.)
Miles Taylor: Do you see that? You saw that, right? Not only does this man have the audacity to assault one of the members of The Phantom Troupe, but he makes the bold statement that he deserves to be the next contender to the SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship. This guy? The same guy that failed against the very Queen herself in a fight for the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship? The same guy that lost to a failure of a leader to challenge for that championship? Matias Navarro, you have made a very disappointing mistake. I have toiled in this company for too long fighting against unworthy opponent after unworthy opponent for the opportunity to challenge for that championship. The only reason that I am not standing here right now as the number one contender instead of that ingrate known as The Apparition, it is because when he pinned Penance to win that match, he stole that victory FROM ME! No one in this company has been able to defeat me in a legit fight, no one has been able to outperform me in this ring and right now, I find it an injustice that Matias Navarro dares to speak in such a manner in regards to that title. I will have my moment in the sun and be known as one of the top talents in this tournament if it is the last thing that I do!
(Miles Taylor marches away from the camera as he makes his way through the halls of the arena as the camera turns back towards the ring where Saya Takada stands in the center.)
Saya Takada: The following contest is scheduled for one fall… AND IS A BEST IN THE WORLD SERIES A BLOCK MATCH!
(The camera turns to show Shinati Mizarki already in the ring with a smile upon his face as he stands by his turnbuckle.)
Saya Takada: Already in the ring, he is from Ginza, Tokyo, Japan… he weighed in tonight at 205 pounds… representing Shoot Nation… “THE JAPANESE ARCHITECT”... SHHIIINNNAAATTTTIIIII MIIZZZAAARRRKKKKIIIII!!!
Mark Stephens: Shinati Mizarki has been doing his best to represent Shoot Nation throughout not only this tournament, but in the tag team championship division with Steven Cassidy, as they gave a war in that tag team match! However, could a victory tonight put him and Cassidy on the map for a future championship opportunity?
(“Grip!" by Every Little Thing blasts from the speakers with Sakura Corleone walking out onto the stage with her kimono on, donning a mask along with the SSW Freebird Tag Team Championship on her shoulder, all while she is followed by Cassius Corleone with the other set of tag team titles.)
Saya Takada: Introducing first, she is from Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 137 pounds… accompanied to the ring by Cassius Corleone… she is one-half of the SSW Freebird Tag Team Champions… representing Tres Comas Club and The One True Pairing… “THE YANDERE GODDESS”... SAAKKKUUURRRRAAAAA COORRRLLLEEEOOONNNNEEEEE!!!
Daniel Wilson: Sakura Corleone seems to be in brighter spirits here tonight now that she ha-- WHAT NOW? HOW IS SECURITY THIS LAX HERE IN JAPAN? ANOTHER ASSAULT HAS COME OUT OF NOWHERE FROM A RAVEN-HAIRED WOMAN FROM OUT OF THE CROWD ONTO SAKURA! WHO THE HELL IS THIS? Cassius starts to try and save his fallen lover BUT HE IS STRUCK FROM BEHIND FROM ANOTHER MAN THAT HAS INVADED THROUGH THE CROWD!
Mark Stephens: We really need to improve our security around here because this is getting out of control as now this random duo that has come from the crowd grabs Sakura by her hair to hoist her up to her feet! The woman climbs onto the barricade with the man lifting Sakura onto his shoulders as he turns towards the woman WHO FLIES FOR THE BLOCKBUSTER WHILE HE DROPS SAKURA DOWN WITH THE ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP! I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT THESE TWO WERE ABLE TO TAKE DOWN THE ONE TRUE PAIRING LIKE THIS!
Daniel Wilson: I don’t know who these two are, but they seem more than ready to take the challenge to the tag team champions for those belts!
(The duo that assaulted The One True Pairing stands above them with smiles on their faces, turning around towards the stage with smiles upon their faces, leaving the champions lying on the ramp, with the show cutting to commercial break.)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(The show returns from commercial break back inside of the arena with Saya Takada taking to the center of the ring once more with that signature smile of hers.)
Saya Takada: The following contest is scheduled for one fall… AND IS A BEST IN THE WORLD SERIES A BLOCK MATCH!!!
(The camera turns over towards Kikyo Himura that is already standing inside of the ring as she made her entrance during the commercial break, carrying herself with that nonchalant attitude that she has been known for, as Saya makes the introduction.)
Saya Takada: Introducing first, she is from Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan… weighing in at 128 pounds… representing Ronin… “THE SCARLET FLAME OF STRONG STYLE WRESTLING”... KIIKKKYYYYOOOOO HIIMMMUUURRRRAAAAA!!!
Daniel Wilson: This woman has had the entire world against her in her fight to be known as the one to walk into Wrestle Spirit with the opportunity of a lifetime in being known as the challenger for the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship! However, she has not yet received a single victory in her pursuit and tonight, I doubt that will begin!
(“White Knuckles” by Alter Bridge blasts on the speakers with Kai Stevens making his way to the ring with a smile on his face, holding the SSW Heritage Championship in his hand, before raising it high in the air with pride! Brian Church pats him on his back as both men walk down the ramp to meet the champion’s opponent for the night!)
Saya Takada: Introducing first, he is from Long Island, New York… he weighed in tonight at 227 pounds… he is the leader of Ronin AND THE REIGNING SSW HERITAGE CHAMPION… “THE PRODIGY OF RONIN”... KAAAIIIII STTEEEVVVEEEENNNNSSSSS!!!
Mark Stephens: After an impressive victory be dethroning Khmaoch Sangkat from his historic reign as SSW Heritage Champion, there is a new man on top of the mountain that has the championship on his shoulder and his name is Kai Stevens! The man that has taken Ronin under his belt and has brought prestige to the name, he has made his mark and attempts to continue that desire in doing just that!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Mark Stephens: The match has begun between the two Ronin members with Kai Stevens and Kikyo Himura about to begin their match with Kikyo walking towards the champion to go for the clench BUT STEVENS DUCKS UNDER AND RUSHES TOWARDS THE ROPES TO GAIN MOMENTUM! Kikyo turns around to keep her eye on the champion RIGHT WHEN SHE IS MET WITH A COWBOY KILLER! RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE! KIKYO IS STUNNED FROM THE IMPACT AND THIS OPENS UP A CAN OF WORMS WITH KAI SLICING HIS THROAT FOR THE END! Kai pulls Kikyo in and lifts her up in the air DROPPING HER DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH THE FULL STOP! THE SIT-OUT SCOOP LIFT POWERBOMB RIGHT INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING! KAI HOLDS HER DOWN ON THE CANVAS WITH THE REFEREE SLIDING IN FOR THE PIN!
Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!... THHHRRREEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“White Knuckles” by Alter Bridge plays in the background before Kai Stevens waves it off and snatches the microphone from Saya Takada before she can even declare him the winner. Kikyo rolls out of the ring holding the back of her spine as Kai is handed the SSW Heritage Championship from the referee.)
Kai Stevens: None of you believed that this would happen! NONE OF YOU! No one thought that I would be the one that Ronin would come to in their desperate time of need to be known as their leader! No one thought that I would be the one to end the great and unstoppable reign of Khmaoch Sangkat! NO ONE THOUGHT I WOULD AMOUNT TO ANYTHING HERE IN JAPAN… but I proved all of you wrong! I proved that I’m the man that EVERYONE should be watching week in and week out in this ring and that goes for Omega Wrestling Alliance and the man that has become OWA Spartans Champion. That’s right, I’m calling out the man that is supposed to be on the same level of me here in Strong Style Wrestling with that championship that they have in America! You have a monstrous beast that could hold a candle in the ring with me on a technical level like Monolith and you have someone that has been gifted with opportunity after opportunity to claim that championship WHEN WE KNOW IT BELONGS TO ME, DON’T WE LAYNE? Everyone knows the facts are that when Strong Style Wrestling was in the picture, everyone thought that they would be able to have everything handed to them. They thought that this title that I wear would be passed around more than every woman in that Omega Wrestling Alliance locker room has been! The facts remain that at Civil War, I meet the person that holds that championship and I prove BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT that there’s no champion on this plant that equates to the excellence… the brilliance… and the perfection that Kai Stevens is as SSW Heritage Champion!
Daniel Wilson: THE SHOTS HAVE BEEN FIRED, MARK! KAI STEVENS HAS JUST CALLED OUT THE OWA SPARTANS CHAMPION AT CIVIL WAR! Whoever walks out of that steel cage at Kingdom with the OWA Spartans Championship, they will be meeting Kai Stevens at Madison Square Garden! Man, am I excited about that!
Mark Stephens: It’s definitely a match that is bound to turn some heads no matter who leaves with the OWA Spartans Championship in their possession, but Kai Stevens isn’t someone that you want to underestimate! He’s been someone that has taken Strong Style Wrestling by storm and definitely will be a challenge to overcome for either Monolith or Layne Kurobane!
(Kai Stevens exits through the middle rope and walks out of the ring with Brian Church by his side, holding the SSW Heritage Championship on his shoulder, as his face gives a smile of confidence and pride as they exit through the backstage.)
(The camera fades to a scene of the SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship match between Andre Virgo and Miltiades. A man sitting in a meditation position watches this on a television screen before the result hits, showing that Virgo retained his championship against all odds, with the screen being cut off. The man stands up to his feet and turns around to reveal the masked face of The Apparition.)
The Apparition: Congratulations, Virgo. You remain the SSW Junior Heavyweight Champion… for now. You have been able to overcome all the challenges that have been placed upon you with Tres Comas Club being against you at every step of the way. You’ve defeated names such as BANG, GREED, Miltiades, Racer Smiles, just to make it known to the world that you’re the real leader of the faction. We don’t have that problem in Shoot Nation as our fearless leader has proven himself completely through his struggle to be known as the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion. Standing here and watching how you kept that championship in adversity, looking back upon the reign you’ve had as the SSW Junior Heavyweight Champion, I’m not impressed with the man that I’m forced to share the ring with to be able to win that championship. However, my impression doesn’t matter at the end of the day. The impression of a masked figure that has failed in his numerous attempts to be known as a champion here wouldn’t concern a person of such prestige and talent as the magnanimous and captivating ANDRE… VIR… GO!!!
(The Apparition chuckles at the fact that he had mimicked the SSW Junior Heavyweight Champion’s primary catchphrase.)
The Apparition: Let’s be honest, this match will be the actual test of how you’ve been as a champion. You’re not going to have a Tres Comas Club member standing across the ring from you, but you will have a member of Shoot Nation that wants nothing more than to be known as a champion to give this company the prestige that it needs to survive! When we return from America and finish with our business in Omega Wrestling Alliance, I’m coming for that championship and I will finally be what I’ve desired to be in this business…. A champion.
(The Apparition leaves from the view of the camera as the camera fades away from the room and back into the arena. Once the camera pans towards the ring, they go inside with Saya Takada as she begins introductions to the next match.)
Saya Takada: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!!!
(“Charisma” by W.A.S.P. echoes throughout the arena before the crowd continues that trend of a mixed reaction before Christopher Sabertooth walks out with Jaywalker following behind him. Christopher taunts towards the crowd as he scoffs towards them as he walks down the ramp to meet his opponent in the ring.)
Saya Takada: Introducing his opponent, he is from Aberdeen, Washington… weighing in at 210 pounds… accompanied to the ring by Jaywalker… representing Tres Comas Club… CHHRRRIIISSSTTTOOOPPPHHHEEEERRRRR “HAVOC” SAABBBEEERRRTTTOOOTTTTHHHHH!!!
Daniel Wilson: THERE HE IS! THE MAN OF THE HOUR, CHRISTOPHER SABERTOOTH, HAS APPEARED AND HE’S REVELING IN THE FACT THAT HE HAD A TREMENDOUS VICTORY AT EVENT HORIZON! Sabertooth decimated Matthew within seconds of the match and now, he’s coming down to the ring in hopes of making sure that he inserts his name into the championship hunt!
Mark Stephens: Well, a victory tonight will certainly do just that, wouldn’t it? He’s already gotten the victory from Event Horizon underneath his belt and if he continues this spree of victories, I’m sure that Jacob Senn will have no choice but to place him in a championship match!
(“Party Girl” by McFly plays in the background with Belle Kingsley walking out towards the stage with a smile upon her face, looking out towards the audience as she holds her hand on her brow, right before she walks down the ramp and soaks in the adulation of the crowd towards her. She smiles before she rolls into the ring with a smile on her face before going to her own corner.)
Saya Takada: Introducing his opponent, she is from Newark, New Jersey… she weighed in tonight at 120 pounds… representing Shoot Nation… “THE BELLE OF THE BALL”... BEELLLLLLLEEEEE KIINNNGGGSSSLLLEEEEYYYYY!!!
Mark Stephens: I hate to see that she wasn’t able to be known as the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion, but tonight could be a night of redemption for her! She gave it everything she had at Event Horizon, but someone has to be the loser and it happened to be her.
Daniel Wilson: Oh, stop with this sob story for her, Mark! She failed and didn’t become champion! Get over it! She needs to move on and if she wants to do that and try to get another chance at the title, she needs to win tonight to make sure that her path to Wrestle Spirit isn’t deterred by it!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Mark Stephens: The bell has been called for this match to start and Christopher Sabertooth is just laughing with Jaywalker about having to face Belle Kingsley here tonight! Christopher walks up towards Belle SHOVING HER IN THE CHEST BEFORE SHE COLLAPSES AND FALLS DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Mocking her by calling her to get up to her feet and pouting towards her, Christopher watches Belle stand on her feet ONLY TO RESPOND WITH A SLAP RIGHT TO HER FACE! BELLE FIRES BACK WITH AN ELBOW STRIKE INTO THE JAW OF SABERTOOTH AS BOTH OF THESE FIGHTERS ARE GOING AT IT BETWEEN EACH OTHER! Both participants in this match want to get the victory for the momentum it would bring them BUT KINGSLEY TAKES ADVANTAGE WITH A SHARP KICK TO THE LEG BEFORE SPINNING AROUND FOR A KICK SQUARE IN THE STOMACH OF SABERTOOTH! Belle wraps her arm around the neck of Sabertooth now for the side-headlock as she has firm control of this match right now!
Daniel Wilson: Yeah, but that’s not lasting long with Christopher Sabertooth pushing Belle Kingsley into the ropes BOUNCING HER OFF THE ROPES AND THROWING HER ACROSS THE RING! Belle rebounds off the ropes and returns RIGHT INTO A SHOULDER TACKLE FROM SABERTOOTH THAT SENDS HER FLAT ON HER BACK ON THE CANVAS! Christopher uses this time to strut around the ring and wipe his hands in pride before he turns around LOOKING FOR THE CHOP BLOCK ON KINGSLEY WHEN SHE TRIES TO STAND UP! WHOA! BELLE FLIPS BACKWARDS TO HER FEET WITH SABERTOOTH MISSING THE CHOP BLOCK WHEN KINGSLEY MEETS HIM WITH THE SHOTGUN DROPKICK STRAIGHT TO THE CHEST! SABERTOOTH GOES ROLLING OUTSIDE OF THE RING WHILE BELLE IS INSIDE THE RING AS SHE SPRINTS BACK INTO THE ROPES TO GET A WHOLE HEAD OF STEAM! SUICIDE SOMERSAULT PLANCHA!
Mark Stephens: BELLE KINGSLEY FLIPS OVER THE TOP ROPE AND LANDS RIGHT ONTO CHRISTOPHER SABERTOOTH THAT WAS STANDING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! Belle rolls up her feet with a smile directed towards the crowd before she turns around to grab him by the head to throw Sabertooth back into the ring before the count can even start! Belle climbs up onto the apron and sees Sabertooth stirring to get back to his feet! She rushes over towards the turnbuckle and climbs onto the top rope as she waits for Sabertooth to turn around LEAPING INTO THE AIR FOR THE MISSILE DROPKICK! POWERBOMB! CHRISTOPHER DROPS BELLE ON HER BACK WITH THE POWERBOMB AS HE STUMBLES BACK A BIT TO RECOIL FROM THE PLANCHA FROM EARLIER! Holding his back from the impact he has suffered from the plancha, Christopher walks back towards the rising Kingsley WRAPPING HIS ARMS AROUND HER WAIST FOR THE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Daniel Wilson: BACK ELBOW STRIKE! BELLE KINGSLEY FIRES WITH THE BACK ELBOW STRIKE AND CONTINUES TO FIRE A COUPLE MORE BEFORE SHE GETS OUT OF THE GRAPPLE AND RUSHES TOWARDS THE CORNER! SHE CLIMBS THE TURNBUCKLE AND FLIPS BACK FOR THE CORKSCREW SENTON! SHE LANDS THE SENTON ONTO SABERTOOTH BEFORE HE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND CRAWLS TOWARDS THE COMMENTARY TABLE! Jaywalker walks over towards Sabertooth to try and console him, but Belle slides out of the ring and walks over towards the barricade! Belle hops onto the barricade as she looks over towards Sabertooth while she scales across it RUSHING OVER TO LOOKING FOR THE LARIAT OFF OF THE BARRICADE!
Mark Stephens: OH MY GOODNESS! CHRISTOPHER SABERTOOTH CATCHES BELLE KINGSLEY IN MID-AIR AND TOSSES HER RIGHT INTO THE COMMENTARY TABLE HEAD-FIRST! Belle collapses at ringside before Sabertooth rolls back into the ring and orders the referee to make the count! He wants the count-out victory here tonight as he’s willing to do whatever it takes match sure he walks out with the victory! The referee starts his count under the duress of Sabertooth!
Referee: ONE!... TWO!... THREE!... FOUR!... FIVE!...
Daniel Wilson: Belle Kingsley starts to crawl her way over towards the ring to be able to beat the count, but Christopher Sabertooth leans onto the top turnbuckle as a manner of taunting the passionate Shoot Nation member!
Referee: SIX!... SEVEN!... EIGHT!... NINE!... TEN!...
Mark Stephens: BELLE KINGSLEY SHOOTS UP AND MAKES IT BACK INTO THE RING WITH PLENTY OF TIME! Christopher Sabertooth drops off of the turnbuckle and walks over towards Belle to lift her up to her feet DROPPING HER ON HIS KNEE WITH THE BACKBREAKER BEFORE HE GRABS HER BY THE CHIN TO LOCK HER INTO THE BACKBREAKER SUBMISSION! Christopher pushes down on the chin to bend Belle’s back on his knee as she reaches out to try and find a way out of this submission! Christopher plants his elbow right into the stomach of Belle to add onto the pressure of this submission BUT BELLE LANDS A STIFF KICK TO THE SKULL OF SABERTOOTH TO FORCE HIM TO RELEASE THE HOLD! Christopher stumbles back from the impact when Belle rolls up to her feet AS SHE SPRINTS IN FOR THE FEVER DREAM! ELBOW STRIKE! Christopher lands with a heavy elbow strike before he lands with a roundhouse kick to the jaw AS HE FINISHES THE COMBINATION WITH THE DISCUS LARIAT TO SEND HER RIGHT DOWN ON THE CANVAS! Belle has been laid out on the canvas before Sabertooth points towards the ropes where he rushes towards him LEAPING ONTO THE ROPES FOR THE SABERSAULT! THE SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT COLLIDES ONTO THE CHEST OF KINGSLEY BEFORE HE DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS HER LEG IN FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!...
Daniel Wilson: SHOULDER! BELLE KINGSLEY THROWS THE SHOULDER OFF OF THE CANVAS WITH CHRISTOPHER SABERTOOTH UNABLE TO PUT HER AWAY! Christopher stands up to his feet and grabs Kingsley by her ankles LOOKING TO GET HER INTO THE CRESCENT MOON! BOOT TO THE FACE! Belle lands with a boot to the face of Sabertooth BUT HE’S STILL TRYING TO GET HER TO TURN OVER FOR THE BOSTON CRAB! ANOTHER BOOT TO THE FACE! CHRISTOPHER IS FINALLY FORCED TO RELEASE THE SUBMISSION WITH BELLE ABLE TO PICK HERSELF UP TO HER FEET! Christopher stands back up CAUGHT BY BELLE FOR THE FEVER DREAM! THE FRONT-FLIP DDT SPIKES SABERTOOTH ON HIS HEAD, BUT KINGSLEY IS FAR FROM DONE FROM THERE! Kingsley stands on her feet and waits for Sabertooth to stand back to his feet as he rushes forward to the ropes REBOUNDING BACK FOR THE FATEFUL FALL!
Mark Stephens: WHOA! CHRISTOPHER SABERTOOTH CATCHES BELLE KINGSLEY IN MID-AIR AND THROWS HER BACK FOR THE GERMAN SUPLEX! NO! BELLE LANDS ON HER FEET WHEN SHE’S FLIPPED BACK AND RUNS BACK TOWARDS THE ROPE WITH SABERTOOTH BACK TOWARDS THE SHOOT NATION MEMBER! FATEFUL FALL! THE HANDSPRING CUTTER CONNECTS WITH SABERTOOTH BEING DROPPED RIGHT ON HIS FACE! BELLE RUSHES OVER TOWARDS THE RISING STAR OF TRES COMAS CLUB BEFORE SHE HOOKS HIS LEG IN FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
Referee: ONNEEE!!!... TWWOOO!!!...
Daniel Wilson: YES! YES! CHRISTOPHER SABERTOOTH KICKS OUT OF THE PIN AND NOW, BELLE KINGSLEY NEEDS TO FIND ANOTHER WAY TO PUT AWAY HER OPPONENT! Christopher stays laid out on the canvas however with Belle rushing to the apron to make her way to the turnbuckle! She climbs her way to the top as she starts to stand to her feet AS SHE HOPES TO GET THE BELLE CU-- WHAT? JAYWALKER RUSHES UP THE APRON AND GRABS HER BY THE ANKLE TO STOP HER FROM GOING FOR THE BELLE CURVE! Belle looks over towards Jaywalker and kicks him off of the apron BUT NOT BEFORE SABERTOOTH RUSHES UP TO THE TOP ROPE TO LEAP OFF FOR THE SUPER CLIMAX! CHRISTOPHER LEAPS OFF FOR THE TOP ROPE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF KINGSLEY BEFORE HE ROLLS HER ON HER BACK FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOO!!!... THHHRRREEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Charisma” by W.A.S.P. plays in the background with Christopher Sabertooth standing up to his feet to have the referee hold his hand in the air. He drops his hand and is met in the embrace with Jaywalker before they both exit the ring.)
Saya Takada: Here is your winner… CHHRRRIIISSSTTTOOOPPPHHHHEEEERRRRRR SAABBBEEERRRTTTOOOOOOTTTTHHHHH!!!
Mark Stephens: Christopher Sabertooth has defeated the former number one contender for the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship! If any victory has had to be able to put him in the conversation of being a contender for a championship, this definitely has to be the one to put him on the map!
Daniel Wilson: Christopher Sabertooth has made his point clear that he is more than ready to take the challenge of facing a champion around here in Strong Style Wrestling! The question remains on if Jacob Senn will allow him to compete for one of these prestigious championships!
(Christopher Sabertooth exits out of the ring with Jaywalker following behind him as they both make their exit towards the backstage area. Belle Kingsley lies in the middle of the ring out of it from what she endured in the match as she is helped out by The Young Lions in attendance. Once the ring is cleared, the camera pans backstage into the office of Jacob Senn. His fax machine has been buzzing in the background before finally the chairman slams his fist into the machine and turns back towards the camera.)
Jacob Senn: Sorry, that gets a little loud around here. However, after watching such a tremendous match between Christopher Sabertooth and Belle Kingsley, I have decided to make sure that he will be given an opportunity at an SSW championship… at the next television episode of Strong Style Wrestling! However, I have another announcement that needs to be made.in regards to Civil War. Omega Wrestling Alliance has made the challenge and right now, we’re calling out the shots and tonight, I hope to announce the first four members of Team Strong Style Wrestling to face against the team that Bob Taylor has decided to throw our way! With an army standing behind Strong Style Wrestling, ready to set foot inside the fortress of War Games, and invade with the ferocity and intensity that we have become known for in this great country of Japan, WarGames will be our victory to attain! However, right now I would like to announce the first member of this team that has already dealt with the trouble that OWA has cast upon him for being a champion of our promotion! A man that has been left out of various opportunities in America only because his name has been brought with prestige in Japan before OWA could even hope to establish it. It is… ANDRE… VIR… GO!!!
Mark Stephens: DID YOU HEAR THAT, DANIEL? ANDRE VIRGO IS GOING TO BE THE FIRST REPRESENTATIVE FOR TEAM STRONG STYLE WRESTLING!
Daniel Wilson: The SSW Junior Heavyweight Champion will definitely be a force to be reckoned with inside of that demonic structure known as WarGames and if anything, this could be the spotlight that he has been searching for his entire tenure in SSW!
Jacob Senn: I know that this entire crowd loves the idea of seeing someone like our reigning SSW Junior Heavyweight Champion starting the lineup of fighters that will partake in the challenge for promotion supremacy, but this next person might not be the face that Virgo would want to have by his side. However, I found that this man has been the most devoted member of this roster and should be rewarded with the dedication and respect that he has shown Strong Style Wrestling! With that, I say that the second member of Team Strong Style Wrestling… IS THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO THE SSW JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP… THE APPARITION!
Daniel Wilson: WHAT? The Apparition is the second man that Jacob Senn has chosen to be a member of Team Strong Style Wrestling? How in the world will these two men be able to coexist between one another when they are set to meet for the SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship in two weeks time?
Mark Stephens: Strong Style Wrestling, Daniel! That will be the bond that keeps these two from going to war with one another! These two are here to represent SSW and everything that it stands for in this match and once that is done, they will tear each other apart for the grand prize of that championship belt!
Jacob Senn: These two strange bedfellows will not be the only stranger that they will be forced to align with because I’ve chosen another person that will represent Strong Style Wrestling because of the success that she has shown in high-pressure situations. She is the first-ever SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion, the Queen of The Phantom Troupe, and the woman that has been scorned by all for her devious actions because of it. The one… the only… ARIA JAXON!
Mark Stephens: Oh no… Aria Jaxon is representing Strong Style Wrestling in this match? Why on Earth would Jacob Senn not only allow someone as deceptive and vicious as her in the match with the SSW Junior Heavyweight Champion, but to be in there with a Shoot Nation member that she could make a target out of?
Daniel Wilson: THE QUEEN IS HEADING INTO WARGAMES WITH THE FULL INTENTION OF DEFENDING THE KINGDOM THAT SHE HAS CREATED! Without Strong Style Wrestling around to survive at the end of this war, what would Aria have in Omega Wrestling Alliance? She’s been a pariah there since being known as the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion and now, she’s about to make sure that they regret that decision.
Jacob Senn: With these three members, the team already has a stacked roster of members that will be able to bring the victory to us in WarGames, but there needs to be another. One more member that could assist in bringing these forces together… a name that would be able to break the establish boundaries that have been placed by these people… and a name that I never thought I would utter again in this lifetime. This is a man that took me to my limit, a man who threatened to take this very company away from me, and someone who I said would never return under the SSW banner again. I break that promise now in this war between OWA and us because the fourth and final announced participant for Team SSW in WarGames is… STARK!
Daniel Wilson: YES! YES! I KNEW HE WOULD RETURN! THE LORD OF THE BONSAI GARDEN IS BACK TO REPRESENT STRONG STYLE WRESTLING IN THE WARGAMES MATCH! I never thought we would see the day that Stark would be allowed back entry into Strong Style Wrestling!
Mark Stephens: I guess that this is desperate times and Strong Style Wrestling needs the assistance of Stark and this match is a prime candidate of that!
Jacob Senn: However, there is a need for one final member to represent Team Strong Style Wrestling. With that said, I have decided to make this man a… special surprise for Omega Wrestling Alliance. There’s no need to expose him to the world and let him be known, but just know that the final man will be someone that will strike fear into the hearts of every person in the world while remaining to be no one at all. That is the team that I have announced for Team SSW, Taylor! Make sure that Madison Square Garden is ready for the invasion that has been planned in order to let the world not forget who is the brand of wrestling that keeps them glued to their screens! Who is the the promotion with premier talent that no one can doubt! When Team Strong Style Wrestling steps foot inside of the fortress you created to protect yourselves, you’ll realize that all of this has been planned to bring nothing but disappointment onto you. Civil War… we see who stands tall once and for all.
(Jacob Senn makes his way off of the stage to the backstage area with the crowd left to digest the announcement of the four members that will represent Team SSW and the final member that has been left anonymous for anyone to know. Once the ring has been cleared out and the only remaining person is Saya Takada in the ring, the camera pans over towards her with a smile on her face.)
Saya Takada: The following contest is scheduled for one fall… AND IS A BEST IN THE WORLD SERIES A BLOCK MATCH!!!
(“I’m The One” by Static X blasts from the speakers with the crowd met with disappointment upon the arrival of CM Nas as he takes to the stage with the Omega Heavyweight Championship around his waist. With a smile upon his face, CM Nas walks down the ramp with his arms extended before he starts to climb up the steels steps to enter into the ring. He sprints around the ring to make a few laps before he ends up in the center of the ring and crosses his legs to sit down as Saya Takada makes the introduction.)
Saya Takada: Introducing first, he is from Newark, New Jersey… he weighed in tonight at
222 pounds… representing The Phantom Troupe… he is the current Omega Heavyweight Champion… “THE BEST WRESTLER ALIVE”... C-M NAAASSSSS!!!
Daniel Wilson: One of the greatest performers to ever step into the ring, CM Nas has been one of the men that has been known as a top draw in the wrestling hemisphere! America, Japan, you name the country and this man has become a champion in that place! CM Nas is the real deal and this is a man that you want in your tournament, not someone like Masanori Kawada!
Mark Stephens: CM Nas doesn’t deserve to be in this tournament as he wasn’t even an original entry in this tournament! The only good thing that this means is that we might see some Phantom Troupe members battle between each other to do some infighting!
(CM Nas looks over towards the stage… but no music or anything has played to leave him to wonder what’s going on. Suddenly, Jacob Senn walks out to the stage with a single finger held up.)
Jacob Senn: Nas, Nas, Nas… I forgot to make a certain announcement. I know that we have our own personal issues to resolve at Civil War considering how you’re the reason that I have yet to be known as a world champion through the numerous attempts that I have fought for that right. However, I’m still the Chairman of SSW and I have a tournament to run… even if Khmaoch Sangkat miraculously has disappeared. No text, no email, and certainly no fax to let me know about his whereabouts. With that said, I have decided to do something similar to what I have done with you to where if someone doesn’t decide to show or put an effort into this tournament… they will be replaced. That’s why Khmaoch Sangkat has been officially replaced… with this man!
(“Make Me Feel” by Janelle Monáe plays on the sound system with the crowd erupting in cheers as CM Nas shoots up to his feet with a sense of worry on his face. Andre Virgo steps out with his arms extended beside him with the adulation of the crowd reaching a fever pitch before he stops at the stage, smirking to Jacob Senn, before he walks down the ramp to meet his opponent.)
Mark Stephens: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! Due to the lack of an appearance by the former SSW Heritage Champion, Jacob Senn has chosen to replace Khmaoch Sangkat with Ander Virgo in this Best In The World Series match! I’m naturally assuming that he will also inherit the record of Khmaoch similar to how CM Nas took the record of Kawada when he replaced him!
Daniel Wilson: A replacement? This shouldn’t be happening! This match should have been forfeited unto CM Nas to be the one to be victorious in this match! However, this should be a match that will definitely fill the void that was left from that ill-timed departure!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Mark Stephens: The bell has been rung and this match has been called to start WITH CM NAS RUSHING IN AND BLASTS ANDRE VIRGO IN THE NECK WITH THE RUNNING LEG LARIAT! Andre drops down to the canvas from the kick when he rolls up to his feet MET WITH THE SPINNING BACKFIST FROM NAS RIGHT INTO HIS JAW! Andre is stunned from the punch BUT IS MET WITH A STIFF ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE JAW BEFORE NAS LIFTS THE CHAMPION ON HIS SHOULDERS FOR THE ETHER! HE’S GOING FOR IT RIGHT HERE IN THE START OF THE MATCH! NO! ANDRE DROPS BEHIND NAS AND SHOVES HIM INTO THE ROPES WHILE HE SHAKES THAT COMBINATION OF STRIKES OFF! Nas rebounds off the ropes before he returns RIGHT INTO THE BIG BOOT FROM VIRGO! Andre looks around to the crowd to start taunting before he sprints to the ropes and rebounds ONLY FOR NAS TO ROLL THROUGH TO KEEP VIRGO RUSHING INTO THE ROPES! Virgo bounces off the ropes and returns WITH NAS CATCHING HIM BY THE NECK FOR THE SPINNING NECKBREAKER TO DROP HIM ON HIS BACK!
Daniel Wilson: CM Nas kips right back up to his feet and looks over towards the ropes as he exits through the middle of the ropes, as he starts to make his climb towards the top of the turnbuckle, standing on the top AS HE HOPES TO LAND THE DIVING ELBOW DROP RIGHT HERE AND NOW! NO! ANDRE VIRGO ROLLS TO HIS FEET AND LANDS INTO THE ROPES TO SEND NAS DROPPING RIGHT INTO HIS GROIN FROM THAT! Virgo turns over towards Nas and climbs to the middle rope, grabbing Nas on his shoulders, before he lifts himself onto the top rope! Could he be looking for it? Virgo could be looking to end it right here AS HE LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH NAS FOR THE TOP ROPE CARTWHEEL DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! NAS LANDS RIGHT ON HIS BACK FROM THAT DEATH VALLEY DRIVER WITH VIRGO COLLAPSING ONTO THE CANVAS FROM THE IMPACT! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MOVE FROM THE SSW JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
Mark Stephens: Andre Virgo crawls his way over towards the ropes as he knows that he’s inches away from getting a victory right now before he pulls himself up to his feet! He turns to see CM Nas trying to get back to his BUT VIRGO WON’T LET HIM AS HE COMES IN FOR THE DRIVE-BY KICK! LARIAT! NAS RESURRECTS FROM THE DEAD LIKE THE GOD HE IS TO LAND A LARIAT TO DROP VIRGO WHERE HE STANDS TO THE CANVAS! Nas walks over towards the turnbuckle and mocks the disappointed crowd as he flips forward LEAPING UP IN THE AIR FOR THE MASENKO! THE ROLLING THUNDER FROG SPLASH RIGHT INTO THE CHEST OF VIRGO AS HE’S DOWN FOR NAS TO HOOK HIS LEG IN FOR THE THREE-COUNT!
Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!
Daniel Wilson: ANDRE VIRGO KICKS OUT OF THE PIN AND IF HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE PIN THERE, CM NAS COULD HAVE MADE A CLAIM TOWARDS BEING THE NEXT SSW JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! Nas grabs Virgo by the head and calls for the end as he lifts Virgo on his shoulders once more LOOKING TO END THINGS WITH THE ETHER! TORNADO DDT! VIRGO SPINS OUT OF THE ETHER AND SPIKES NAS ON HIS HEAD WITH THE DDT BEFORE KIPPING UP BACK TO HIS FEET HIMSELF! Virgo rushes towards the ropes once more before he comes back towards Nas BLASTING HIM IN THE FACE WITH THE DRIVE-BY KICK! NAS EATS THE BOOT OF VIRGO BEFORE COLLAPSING DOWN TO THE CANVAS, BUT VIRGO ISN’T ABOUT TO LET THAT BE THE END OF THIS MATCH! Andre exits through the middle rope and rushes over towards the turnbuckle to climb his way to his feet, standing on the top turnbuckle as he starts to taunt towards Nas, right before he jumps FLYING ACROSS THE RING FOR THE ANDRE’S COMET! THE DIVING ELBOW DROP LANDS RIGHT INTO THE HEART OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP HOARDER BEFORE VIRGO HOOKS HIS LEG IN FOR THE THREE COUNT!
Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!... THHHRRREEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Make Me Feel” by Janelle Monáe plays in the background with Andre Virgo standing on his feet with a smile on his face, being given the SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship from the referee, as he raises his hand in the air.)
Saya Takada: Here is your winner… ANNDDDRRRREEEEE VIIRRRGGGGOOOOO!!!
Mark Stephens: There you have it, Daniel! Andre Virgo has just won his match in The Best In The World Series on his path towards WarGames at Civil War! I’ve just gotten word that it has been confirmed that his replacement of Khmaoch Sangkat DOES gift him his record and thus, this will give him six points on his path towards being known as the next challenger for the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship!
Daniel Wilson: Can you imagine? Andre Virgo challenging for the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Spirit? That’s insane! Let’s hope that some of the other participants will be able to overtake him in the tournament so we don’t have to deal with it!
(Andre Virgo flexes as he flaunts the SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship before he exits through the middle rope and starts to make his way backstage. CM Nas sits up with a furious gaze upon his face as the show cuts to commercial break… )
(COMMERCIAL BREAK -- )
(The show returns from commercial break inside of a press conference room with the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion Jaydayne Pendragon dressed in a suit as he has been seated at the table. The championship belt is presented beside him as he looks around the room and the poster of Civil War sits on the other side of him.)
Jaydayne Pendragon: Strong Style Wrestling… Omega Wrestling Alliance…. Two mega powers in the vast universe of professional wrestling collide on one night to give everyone the greatest show that we could possibly bring to the world! During this insane event, I have been met with the task of challenging the OWA World Champion Finnegan Wakefield, in a champion vs. champion match to see who stands as the greatest wrestling champion standing today. I look at what Finnegan Wakefield has had to endure as a champion and I look with pride, because I know that I’m fighting someone that has went through wars to be able to hold that title. However, I have to respond with the fact that he didn’t have to endure the trials that I had to in order to be known as the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion. He didn’t have to win an entire tournament to just earn the chance to challenge for his championship, he didn’t have to slay giants and titans in this profession like Gronk or Scott Oasis to make sure that he didn’t lose that opportunity, and he hasn’t had an entire faction of wrestlers do whatever it takes to prevent him from holding this prestigious championship. No, he just fought. He fought every challenger that has stood in his path and that’s what makes him admirable and worth respect. Keelan Callihan, Maelstrom, Isaac Thornton, Scotty Adams, all of them have failed to remove that championship from your possession, but this is where everything changes.
(Jaydayne grabs the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship and places it on his shoulder. He looks with pride towards the championship belt and stares right towards the camera as if he was looking right into the eyes of Finnegan Wakefield himself.)
Jaydayne Pendragon: You represent OWA in the fact that you want Strong Style Wrestling to be secondary to everything that you do. You want this championship that I have scratched and clawed my way throughout my entire career trying to claim for my own personal achievement, but you want to discard it as a second-rate championship when it comes to you. You want everyone to scream your name in praise when really, these fans cheer me because of the struggle that I had to go through, while you fought. Fighting might be what has made you the champion that you are today, but fighting against adversity has made me into the champion that I am today. I hope that you’re prepared to take yourself to limits that you didn’t believe that you had within you, Finnegan, because a victory against you in America will prove to the world the fact that I have been hoping would be shown to them. The fact that Jaydayne Pendragon wasn’t a fluke champion that just happened to pick his spot at the right time, but that he’s the greatest champion ever to step foot in a wrestling ring. I apologize that you’ll have to be the one to fall in order for that realization to be taken place, but take solace in knowing that your martyrdom will be one of legend.
(Jaydane Pendragon stares at the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship for a final time before he walks out of the press conference area with a multitude of flashing cameras taking over.)
(The camera returns back into the arena with Saya Takada standing in the middle of the ring with a smile donned upon her face.)
Saya Takada: The following contest IS YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING… AND IS A BEST IN THE WORLD SERIES A BLOCK MATCH!!!
(“Right Back At It Again” by A Day To Remember echoes throughout the arena with the crowd erupting when Steven Cassidy steps out onto the stage with a smile on his face. He walks down the ramp as he nods his head to the crowd before he rolls right into the ring before raising his hand in the air to taunt to the crowd.)
Saya Takada: Introducing first, he is from Lawrence, Kansas… weighing in at 190 pounds… representing Shoot Nation… “RAIONHATO”... STTEEEVVVEEEENNNNN CAASSSSSSIIIDDDDYYYYYY!!!
Mark Stephens: Undefeated. That’s what Steven Cassidy has been since his entry into this tournament and he doesn’t seem like he’s going to let the fact that he’s not walking into this match as the SSW Freebird Tag Team Champion deter him from keeping that undefeated streak!
Daniel Wilson: As he should, Mark! However, the question remains on how long he can keep this streak up and even though he has went through some impressive competitors, I think that this will be the night where it all ends and you know exactly what I say that!
(“Freedom” by Beyonce & Kendrick Lamar blasts from the speakers with Aria Jaxon strutting out towards the stage with all the confidence in the world underneath that smirk of hers. She peers from over her shades to walk down the ramp and join her opponent in the ring.)
Saya Takada: Introducing his opponent, she is from Los Angeles, California… she weighed in tonight at 114 pounds… she is the leader of The Phantom Troupe… “THE QUEEN OF STRONG STYLE WRESTLING”... ARRIIIAAAAA JAAXXXOOOONNNNN!!!
Daniel Wilson: This is why I’m a firm believer of Steven Cassidy’s undefeated streak is bound to come to an end BECAUSE HIS OPPONENT TONIGHT IS THE UNBREAKABLE QUEEN OF STRONG STYLE WRESTLING! Aria Jaxon has made her way throughout the Best In The World Series taking all challengers and letting the world know that she deserves a rematch and what better stage than at Wrestle Spirit?
Mark Stephens: It’s because she hasn’t been taking all the challengers, she’s just let The Phantom Troupe handle all of the problems that have become too much for her to handle! Aria Jaxon might actually pull off a miracle here tonight, but we’ll have to see what trickery The Queen has up her sleeve tonight!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Mark Stephens: The bell has been called for this main event match to be underway with Aria Jaxon and Steven Cassidy battling it out to see who will walk out of this match still undefeated and who will suffer their first loss in the Best In The World Series? Aria and Cassidy both start to walk towards one another BUT ARIA DUCKS UNDERNEATH WHEN CASSIDY LUNGES IN FOR THE CLENCH AND RUSHES TOWARDS THE ROPES! Aria leaps onto the middle rope FLYING ACROSS THE RING FOR WHAT COULD BE A SPRINGBOARD TORNADO DDT RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE! WHOA! STEVEN IS ABLE TO STAND HIS GROUND AS THE SIZE DIFFERENCE STARTS TO PLAY INTO EFFECT WITH CASSIDY LIFTING ARIA UP IN THE AIR FOR WHAT COULD BE A BRAINBUSTER RIGHT HERE! HOLD UP! ARIA FLIPS OUT OF THE BRAINBUSTER AND CATCHES CASSIDY FROM BEHIND FOR THE DRAGON SUPLEX! ARM DRAG! CASSIDY THROWS ARIA FORWARD WITH THE ARM DRAG AS BOTH FIGHTERS STARE AT ONE ANOTHER RIGHT BEFORE A SMILE ESCAPES ARIA WHILE A FACE OF DETERMINATION IS SHOWN FROM CASSIDY! What a start to this match that we have seen from these two already!
Daniel Wilson: This is a match to determine who will be the leader of the entire A Block and who will most likely be the determined victor of the block to advance to the finals at Clash of Dragons! Aria Jaxon and Steven Cassidy pace around the ring to be able to figure out the next move in this match BEFORE BOTH OF THEM LOCK EACH OTHER IN THE CLENCH AND START TO FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF THE MATCH! Aria spins out of the clench and twists with the arm wringer BUT CASSIDY IS VERY QUICK TO FLIP OUT OF THE HOLD AND PULL HER IN FOR THE SIDE-HEADLOCK! Steven wrenches down on the headlock, but Aria starts to push him into the ropes ONLY TO LAUNCH HIM ACROSS THE RING! Steven rebounds off the ropes and starts flying in WITH ARIA SPINNING FOR THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK INTO THE FACE OF CASSIDY! OH MY! CASSIDY ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY OF THE KICK AND CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE TOP ROPE! Aria turns around to see Cassidy standing up AS SHE RUNS IN FOR THE PUMP KICK RIGHT INTO HIS FACE! NO! CASSIDY GRABS HER BY THE BOOT TO PREVENT HER FROM LANDING THE BOOT!
Mark Stephens: OH! ARIA JAXON USES THAT EXPERIENCE TO LAND AN ENZIGURI RIGHT INTO THE SIDE OF STEVEN CASSIDY’S HEAD! Steven is hunched onto the ropes with Aria striking with stiff knees into the side of his head before dragging him up to his feet AS SHE GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER TORNADO DDT ONTO THE SHOOT NATION MEMBER! NO WAY! STEVEN LAUNCHES ARIA OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT ONTO THE FLOOR TO AVOID HER LANDING THAT BRUTAL TORNADO DDT SHE WAS GOING FOR! Steven shakes the cobwebs out with Aria trying to pick herself up to her feet after that hellacious landing she endured from him! Steven looks down to see Aria starting to stand up to her feet AS HE SPRINTS BACK TOWARDS THE ROPES BEFORE HE RUSHES BACK TOWARDS HER FOR THE SUICIDE DIVE! SUPERKICK! ARIA BLASTS CASSIDY IN THE FACE WITH THE SUPERKICK AS HE NOW LIES THERE HUNG ON THE MIDDLE ROPE FROM THE IMPACT! Aria climbs onto the middle rope and lines Cassidy up RUSHING IN WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD THAT THROWS THE POOR GUY BACK INTO THE RING! The Queen is being brutal tonight with the way that she’s taking care of business in the ring with Cassidy!
Daniel Wilson: She wants to be the headline attraction at Wrestle Spirit with the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship hanging in the balance! Aria Jaxon is willing to do whatever it takes to be known as the champion once more and that’s even taking it to the vicious nature that she’s bringing it! Aria walks up onto the ring apron and starts to make her climb to the top while she watches Steven Cassidy crawl his way up to his feet! She stands up on the top rope when Steven finally gets to his as he turns around RIGHT WHEN ARIA LEAPS FORWARD FOR THE SPARKS FLY! DROPKICK! STEVEN NAILS JAXON IN THE BACK OF HER NECK WITH THE DROPKICK THAT SENDS HER COLLAPSING RIGHT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING FROM THAT! SHE TRIED TO LAND THAT SOMERSAULT NECKBREAKER, BUT CASSIDY CALLED WHAT SHE WAS COMING WITH! Steven must have been studying that tape because to be honest with you, I thought Aria was about to land all of that right there!
Mark Stephens: Steven Cassidy has the heart and passion that will drive him to exceed the limits that have been put before him and that includes someone that is expected to be out of his reach in Aria Jaxon! Steven stands up and walks over towards Aria as she sits up on her knees RIGHT WHEN CASSIDY FIRES WITH A STIFF SHOOT KICK INTO HER CHEST! He lands another shoot kick after another, landing each of them in succession of each other, before he finally takes a step back BEFORE HE FIRES WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO FINISH THE KICK FLURRY! NO! ARIA DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK AND SHOOTS UP TO GRAB CASSIDY BY HIS ARMS FOR THE DRAGON SUPLEX! Aria drops Cassidy on his neck with that suplex before she rolls back up to her feet and walks back towards the ropes CALLING FOR THE ABSOLUTE MONARCHY WHILE CASSIDY FIGHTS TO GET TO HIS FEET! Aria is itching to land this knee strike while Cassidy drags himself by the ropes to get to his feet before he turns RIGHT INTO THE STEP-UP JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! SUPERKICK! STEVEN LANDS RIGHT ON THE CHIN OF JAXON WITH THE SUPERKICK BEFORE THROWING HER UP ON HIS SHOULDERS! THIS COULD BE THE END OF THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE! Steven points Aria towards the turnbuckle WHERE HE SPRINTS TOWARDS IT FOR THE LAWN DART! STEVEN THROWS ARIA RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE AS HER FACE BOUNCES RIGHT OFF OF IT AS SHE COLLAPSES TO THE FLOOR! STEVEN ROLLS ARIA ONTO HER SHOULDERS AND HOOKS HER LEG IN FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!...
Daniel Wilson: YES! ARIA JAXON WAS ABLE TO KICK OUT OF THE PIN WHILE STEVEN CASSIDY LOOKS WITH A GLIMMER OF SURPRISE IN HIS EYES! Steven stands up to his feet and nods his head while dragging her up to her feet GRABBING HER HEAD FOR THE CHECKMATE! WATCH OUT! OH! ARIA JUST SHOVED CASSIDY RIGHT INTO THE REFEREE AS BOTH MEN ARE NOW LEANING BACK INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! Aria sees the opportunity as she rushes in LOOKING FOR A YAKUZA KICK TO LAND ONTO CASSIDY! OOF! STEVEN ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY OF THE KICK, BUT THE REFEREE EATS THE BOOT HIMSELF AND COLLAPSES TO THE FLOOR! Aria screams and exclaims about what the referee thinks that he’s doing BUT CASSIDY GRABS HER FROM BEHIND AND LIFTS HER UP IN THE AIR! KISS THE RING! THE PUMPHANDLE REVERSE STO LANDS ITS MARK IN THE CENTER OF THE RING BEFORE HE HOOKS HER LEG IN TO END THE MATCH!
Crowd: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!... THHHRRREEE!!!... FOOOUUURRR!!!... FIIIVVVEEEE!!!
Mark Stephens: STEVEN CASSIDY HAD THIS MATCH WON, BUT THE REFEREE IS KNOCKED OUT COLD FROM THE YAKUZA KICK THAT ARIA JAXON DELIVERED TO HIM! Stevens stands up and starts to walk over towards him to try and help him up to his feet! Once he spends a good amount of time doing that, he turns around RIGHT INTO A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! IT CAN’T BE! IT’S SAUL OMEN! SAUL HAS JUST INTERFERED INTO THE MATCH AS HE LOOKS WITH A FURIOUS WRATH TOWARDS THE FALLEN CASSIDY! Steven doesn’t know what just hit him as Saul grabs him by the head to lift him up in the air RIGHT AS HE SPIKES HIS HEAD INTO THE CANVAS WITH THE BRAINBUSTER BEFORE TURNING IT AROUND INTO A CROSSFACE CHICKENWING! THE MALEFIC EMBRACE! SAUL IS CHOKING OUT THE MAN THAT MIGHT AS WELL HAVE WON THIS MATCH IF THE REFEREE WASN’T KNOCKED OUT COLD! Saul continues to squeeze and choke Cassidy out, but Steven tries escape with everything he has left! However, it’s not enough as he eventually succumbs to the choke and passes out! Saul hops up to his feet and points towards Aria to finish the job before he exits through the middle rope with a devious smile coming onto the face of The Phantom Queen!
Daniel Wilson: DO IT! TAKE YOUR MOMENT! REMAIN UNDEFEATED RIGHT HERE, ARIA! Aria Jaxon lifts an unconscious Steven Cassidy up to his feet while she hooks her arm around his neck DROPPING BACK WITH THE REVERSE STO TO LOCK HIM INTO THE 187! THE KOJI CLUTCH IS APPLIED BY ARIA AND CASSIDY HAS ALREADY BEEN KNOCKED OUT FROM THE MALEFIC EMBRACE BY OMEN EARLIER! The referee is starting to wake up and notices that Aria has Steven knocked out cold before he crawls over to grab him by the wrist! He lifts it up for him to hit the canvas once…. the referee does it once more for it to land on the canvas twice… and finally the referee lifts it up… FOR THE THIRD TIME IT HITS THE CANVAS! THE REFEREE SIGNALS FOR THE BELL! IT’S OVER! THE QUEEN IS STILL UNDEFEATED IN THIS TOURNAMENT!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Freedom” by Beyonce & Kendrick Lamar plays in the background with the entire crowd furious about the result, but Aria Jaxon is just laughing as she is declared the victor of this match. Saul Omen enters the ring to assist her up to her feet, holding her hand high in the air to signal her victory, as he looks down with rage towards the fallen Steven Cassidy.)
Saya Takada: Here is your winner… ARRIIIAAAAA JAAXXXOOOONNNNNN!!!
Mark Stephens: THIS IS WHY I WILL NEVER RESPECT ANYTHING THAT ARIA JAXON HAS DONE IN STRONG STYLE WRESTLING! This is the second tournament match that she has ruined with outside interference from her fellow Phantom Troupe member! I’m disgusted at the fact that she stands here as the leader of the entire A Block in this tournament! I’m disappointed to see the undefeated streak of Steven Cassidy come to an end like this!
Daniel Wilson: Steven Cassidy deserves to be in this situation after what he did to Saul Omen at Event Horizon! Saul was a champion and because of Cassidy’s vendetta against him for what happened months ago to Koji, he took that from him, and I believe this is fair game that he took away the undefeated streak that he worked so hard for! However, long live The Queen, as she rules over the A Block and is set to make her way to Wrestle Spirit here soon!
Mark Stephens: Well, I’m going to go ahead and say that I speak for the rest of us when we say that we’re not very happy with this result. However, that’s all the time that we have for you tonight AND WE’LL SEE YOU AT CIVIL WAR WHERE STRONG STYLE WRESTLING WILL PROVE WHY WE’RE THE BEST PROMOTION IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! GOOD NIGHT!
(Aria Jaxon and Saul Omen both exit from the middle of the ropes, walking their way backstage with smiles on their faces, all while Steven Cassidy is shoving away The Young Lions that are helping him. Steven is screaming about how he’s not going to let this be the end as the camera fades to black… )
