SSW: Domination (2018)

(Once the intro has closed, a video starts with the image of a Japanese temple being shown on the video. After that, we’re shown highlights of some of the premier talent of the promotion including Andre Virgo, Khmaoch Sangkat, Tarah Nova, Jaydayne Pendragon, and Aria Jaxon. After that, the camera showcases the city of Shizouka and the Shizouka Stadium with the narrator beginning to speak.)

Narrator: From The Land of The Rising Sun, Strong Style Wrestling brings to you one of our biggest PPV events of the year!

(More highlights of events that have led towards this event are shown with more of the impressive talent from Strong Style Wrestling in Kai Stevens, The One True Pairing, The Apparition, CM Nas, and Saul Omen.)

Narrator: Championships shall be contended for, rivalries shall be ended tonight, and the entire direction of Strong Style Wrestling shall be fought for with the stakes raised high as the seat of Chairman has been put on the line… in Three Stages of Hell!

(The video shows a bold text of the renown stipulation with scenes of the actions that had led to this moment from Stark and Jacob Senn are shown on the video. Finally, the video starts to glitch out a bit right before The Phantom Troupe logo takes over the screen with highlights of SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship defenses from Aria Jaxon leading to her taking over the screen smiling into the camera.)

Aria Jaxon: Tonight, The Queen reminds the world that hope is for the weak. The world will know that their hero won’t be able to conquer the evils that he fights. The only praise that needs to be had is the praise for your SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion and after tonight… I will still be wearing the crown.

(The video cuts out to the banner of Shoot Nation with a roaring reaction from the crowd in attendance with Jaydayne Pendragon being shown on the camera with The Heaven’s Arena Cup standing beside him.)

Jaydayne Pendragon: This night has been everything that I have been fighting towards. At Exodus, I had my chance to be the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship taken away from me. I scratched and clawed through The Heaven’s Arena Cup to be earn this opportunity and tonight, there is no room for error. Tonight, I take what belongs to me and end this war once and for all!

(The video ends with scenes of the struggle that The Phantom Troupe and Shoot Nation has been going through before the scene finally closes with the bold title of the event covering the screen.)

Narrator: The war has reached the fateful moment that everyone has hoped for and only one faction can leave… WITH DOMINATION IN THEIR WAKE!

(The video ends with the camera panning back inside of the ring with the crowd erupting in celebration to the event! The camera turns over towards Mark Stephens and Daniel Wilson at ringside with the excitement palpable for the event!)

Mark Stephens: People from around the world watching us live from SSW World, we are broadcasting LIVE from Shizouka Stadium and it is the event that you all have been waiting for! THIS IS DOMINATION! There’s so much talent that has been jam-packed into this event and one of the matches that everyone has been talking about is the return of BANG to Strong Style Wrestling to face Andre Virgo for the coveted SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship and what many consider to be the battle of the true leader of Tres Comas Club!

Daniel Wilson: The one true leader of Tres Comas Club has been GREED! I don’t care what anyone says, he’s the one that has been doing his best to keep the faction together, not tear it apart! However, one of the matches that I am most excited for IS THE THREE STAGES OF HELL! The current Chairman of SSW in Jacob Senn hopes to finally put things to rest against the man that has been on a rise since his inclusion into SSW, Stark! One thing is for sure, someone will be leaving here tonight for the last time after a match like this!

Mark Stephens: Not only that, but what about the match that everyone has been hoping will put to rest the biggest war of Strong Style Wrestling: The Phantom Troupe vs. Shoot Nation! The SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship will be defended in the main event with Aria Jaxon being put against The Heaven’s Arena Cup victor himself, Jaydayne Pendragon! That match is going to be one that we’re not going to want to miss!

Daniel Wilson: Most certainly, I never get tired of seeing Aria Jaxon wipe the floor with her challengers and tonight will be no different! However, I’m getting a call that we’re about to start the action and our first match of the night is starting RIGHT NOW!

(The camera turns away from the titantron and towards Saya Takada that stands in the ring with a red dress and a smile on her face.)

Saya Takada: The following contest is a triple threat match scheduled for ONE FALL and is to decide the NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE SSW JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

(“Hysteria” by Muse hits the speakers as golden bills start to flutter down onto the stage. A flamboyantly dressed Greed enters the stage and poses. He soaks up the atmosphere, clenching his hands as if grabbing something right in front of him before making his way down the ramp.)

Saya Takada: Introducing first, from Azabu, Japan and weighing it at 236 pounds… He is “The Devil of Avarice”... GREED!!!

Mark Stephens: Last chance saloon. That is where we are at for the three men in this match. The Tres Comas Club civil war over leadership and the SSW Jr Heavyweight Championship nears its climax as we are told that the winner of this match will be the last Tres Comas Club member to have a shot at that title for quite a while. Greed is a favourite for some in this match. He has heaps of talent but he isn’t alone there. The question will be whether, as his name might suggest, Greed simply wants this more than anyone else in this match.

(“King’s Dead” by Kendrick Lamar erupts from the sound system as Miltiades enters holding his head high and proud. He locks eyes with Greed for a moment before sneering in disgust as he kicks aside some of the gold bills littering the ramp.)

Saya Takada: Next, his opponent from Rome, Italy and weighing in at 235 pounds...He is “Augustus”... MILITIADES!!!

Daniel Wilson: Everybody wants this championship, Mark. But only Miltiades believes he has been literally born to stand on top. He claims an impressive lineage but don’t let that distract you from his equally impressive skills and the self-confidence he has in them.

(“Me Acostumbre” by Arcangel ft. Bad Bunny as Matias Navarro hops out on the stage. He looks to be extremely relaxed and in good spirits as he hypes himself up and taunts his opponents from the stage.)

Saya Takada: Finally, from Gomez Palacio, Durango, Mexico and weighing in at 210 pounds. He is “The Maestro”... MATIAS NAVARRO!!!

Mark Stephens: Speaking of self-confidence… Can you believe how relaxed Matias is right now as we prepare for such a huge match?

Daniel Wilson: Matias is always relaxed, we know this. Sometimes too relaxed and you can never tell which Matias Navarro you are getting. But here is the thing. At his best Matias is man who can be thought of as Puroresu Heavyweight contender. At his worst? Matias doesn’t give a damn in hell about the pressure here and he isn’t going to be paranoid because of the third man. That’s a psychological advantage that could make all the difference. Honestly, he’d be my pick.

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephens: MILTIADES FLIES STRAIGHT AT GREED IMMEDIATELY ON THE BELL! HE CLOCKS GREED WITH A HEAVY FOREARM AND KEEPS SWINGING FOR A VICIOUSLY TARGETED COMBINATION! Here is Navarro from behind… GERMAN SUPLEX! BUT MILTIADES LANDS FIRMLY ON HIS FEET!! NAVARRO IS CAUGHT IN NO MAN’S LAND AS BOTH OPPONENTS PINCER HIM FROM BOTH SIDES! YAKUZA KICK!!! KNEE LIFT!!! EACH LANDS IN TANDEM AND NAVARRO COLLAPSES IN A HEAP BEFORE ROLLING OUT TO THE APRON!

Wilson: ONE DOWN AND GREED WASTES NO TIME IN LOOKING TO PUT AWAY THE OTHER! He catches the wrist… SEVENTH SIN!!! THE SHORT-ARM LARIAT IS DUCKED BY MILTIADES WHO SLIPS BEHIND THE BACK. ET TU BRUTE! MILTIADES REALIGNS THE SPINE OF GREED WITH THAT DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER AND SENDS HIM WHEELING AWAY IN AGONY! MILTIADES CATCHES HIM WITH A SHARP JAB! ANOTHER! A HEAVY STRAIGHT - DISCUS PUNCH!!! ATTEMPTED ANYWAY! GREED CLINCHES WELL AND GETS THE BETTER OF THE GRAPPLING ENGAGEMENT, PULLING MILTIADES IN FOR THE REVERSE NECKBREAKER!

Stephens: But there is no rest for the wicked it seems as Navarro appears to have recovered and is standing on the apron. MATIAS SPRINGBOARDS INTO THE HURRICANRANA SENDING GREED ACROSS THE RING! GREED ROLLS UP TO HIS FEET QUICKLY BUT HERE’S NAVARRO - ENZUIGIRI!!! NAVARRO GETS THE BETTER OF GREED HERE AND LANDS FLUSH UPON THE JAW! Matias pulls Greed to a vertical base before scooping him up and slinging him over his shoulder. He eyes the corner, perhaps plotting a lawn dart throw… MILTIADES POUNCES UP FOR A DROPKICK! NAVARRO AND GREED ARE SENT TUMBLING BACKWARDS BUT GREED’S FEET HIT THE FLOOR FIRST! HE PULLS NAVARRO UP INTO POSITION - TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!!!

Wilson: MATIAS NAVARRO IS SPIKED ON TOP OF HIS HEAD AND MILTIADES SENSES AN OPENING ON GREED! HE SPRINTS IN FOR A LARIAT BUT GREED TURNS HIM INTO THE CORNER AND DRIVES A SHARP BACK ELBOW INTO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! AND ANOTHER! ANOTHER! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN BACK ELBOWS!!! ONE FOR EACH DEADLY SIN I’VE SEEN YOUR MOMMA COMMIT AT CRACKER BARREL, MARK STEPHENS!!!

Stephens: You said we’d never speak of this…

Wilson: Greed pulls out, stepping over Matias Navarro as he makes his way to the opposite side of the ring. Greed lines himself up… AND HE RACES BACK THE WAY HE CAME! GREED SPRINGS OFF THE BACK OF NAVARRO TO CATCH SOME AIRTIME WITH A HUGE CORNER SPLASH ON MILTIADES! MIL IS BOUNCED OUT OF THE CORNER BY THE FORCE OF IMPACT AS GREED FINDS HIS PERCH ON THE TOP ROPES… BUT NAVARRO!!! MATIAS LUNGES AT THE ROPE AND SHAKES IT SO THAT GREED LANDS CROTCH FIRST ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! MATIAS HEADS OVER AND YANKS GREED AROUND, LETTING HIM HANG IN THE TREE OF WOE. AND NOW IT’S NAVARRO UP TOP… TIDE OF TERROR!!! HE HITS THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO GREED’S SOLAR PLEXUS AND THAT MIGHT HAVE STOPPED HIS HEARTBEAT LET ALONE THE MATCH. NAVARRO HOOKS THE LEG!!!

Referee: ONE!... TWO!...

Stephens: MILTIADES BARRELS IN TO BREAK IT UP! MILTIADES AND NAVARRO TIE UP AS THEY GET BACK TO THEIR FEET BUT MILTIADES SEEMS TO BE GETTING THE BETTER OF IT! YOU CAN SEE THAT HE HAS THAT OUNCE MORE AGGRESSION AND STRIKE AFTER STRIKE IS COMING IN! MATIAS IS COVERING UP BUT THE PUNCHES ARE COMING FROM EVERY WHICH WAY AND FINDING GAPS IN THE GUARD! NAVARRO IS FORCED BACK INTO THE ROPES - AND MILTIADES CHOPS HIM RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST! THAT SENT A SICKENING THWACK THROUGHOUT THE ARENA AND DRAWS A WINCE FROM NAVARRO’S FACE!

Wilson: IRISH WHIP FROM MILTIADES, TURNED AROUND BY NAVARRO! MIL REBOUNDS FOR THE LAST SUNSET LARIAT BUT NAVARRO DUCKS IT AND SPEEDS PAST! HE SPRINGS ONTO THE ROPES - SILVER SPOONSAULT!!! NAVARRO LANDS IT AND DROPS MILTIADES BEFORE IMMEDIATELY ROLLING THROUGH… AND HE HOISTS MILTIADES UP INTO THE FIREMAN’S CARRY! HERE IT IS… KILLSHOT!!! BUT IT IS COUNTERED!!! MILTIADES SHIFTS HIS WEIGHT AT THE RIGHT TIME AND CINCHES IN CALIGULA’S REIGN!!! THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE IS LOCKED IN TIGHT AND MATIAS NAVARRO IS FADING FAST!!! MATIAS IS IN DIRE STRAIGHTS NOW! HE IS DESPERATE TO BREAK FREE OF THE HOLD, BUT HOW DOES HE GO ABOUT THIS?!... NAVARRO TAKES A STEP FORWARD… AND SOME MORE… HE PICKS UP SPEED AND POWERS HEADLONG INTO THE CORNER, CRUSHING MILTIADES AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE PAD AND FORCING THE RELEASE!!!

Stephens: SPINNING HEEL KICK!!! GREED CATCHES MATIAS IN THE BACK OF THE SKULL AND WATCHES NAVARRO FALL RIGHT INTO HIS GRASP! GREED WITH THE FULL NELSON… OH MY WORD! A FLIPPING RELEASE DRAGON SUPLEX SENDS NAVARRO THE FULL DIAGONAL LENGTH OF THE RING! NAVARRO MANAGES TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET USING THE ROPES AS LEVERAGE BUT GREED HAS TO TURN HIS ATTENTION AWAY TO MILTIADES WHO IS UP ON THE TOP… AUGUSTUS HITS THE MISSILE DROPKICK TO GREED WHO LIKEWISE IS PROPELLED TOWARDS THE OTHER CORNER WITH NAVARRO! THE SON OF ROME KIPS TO HIS FEET AND CATCHES THE PAIR IN HIS SIGHTS… MILTIADES RUNS IN THEIR DIRECTION! HE CRUSHES THEM BOTH WITH A CORNER SPLASH BEFORE DRAGGING EACH MAN OUT WITH THEIR HEAD UNDER HIS ARM TO HIT A DOUBLE BULLDOG AND PLACE HIMSELF FIRMLY IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT!

Wilson: What is he planning? Miltiades, deep in thought, runs his hand through his beard contemplatively. He starts to drag Navarro across the canvas but I don’t know what he’s… Wait… Is he? HE IS! MILTIADES STACKS NAVARRO UP ON THE BACK OF GREED BEFORE TAKING A FEW STEPS BACK TO LINE HIMSELF UP!... MIL ATTEMPTS A DOUBLE NERO’S LAST CALL BUT MATIAS ROLLS CLEAR TO THE OUTSIDE LEAVING GREED TO CATCH ALL OF THAT ALONE! BUT MILTIADES IS STILL IN HOT PURSUIT OF NAVARRO! HE STOMPS TOWARDS THE EDGE OF THE RING… AND SLINGSHOTS OVER THE ROPES FOR A CROSSBODY!!! BUT NAVARRO CATCHES HIM! INCREDIBLE DISPLAY OF STRENGTH FROM MATIAS NAVARRO AND HE HAS MILTIADES RIGHT WHERE HE WANTS HIM!!! KILLSHOT!!! THE FIREMAN’S CARRY DROPPED KICK CONNECTS FLUSH AND NOW NAVARRO HAS HIS CHOICE OF MEN TO PIN! HE ROLLS INTO THE RING AND COVERS GREED!!!

Referee: ONE!... TWO!... THREE-

Stephens: GREED POPS THE SHOULDER UP! HE SAVES THIS MATCH BY THE FINEST MARGINS AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS JUST TOO MUCH OF A DELAY BETWEEN THAT NERO’S LAST CALL AND THE PIN! A FRUSTRATED MATIAS NAVARRO FINDS AMPLE RELIEF IN CONTINUING TO LET OUT HIS AGGRESSION ON GREED! NAVARRO CIRCLES HIM, STOMPING AWAY AT WHICHEVER EXPOSED LIMB HE BELIEVES HE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OFF TO DISH OUT THE MOST PAIN! GREED SEEMS AT HIS MERCY AS NAVARRO LIFTS HIM TO HIS FEET AND PULLS HIM, APPLYING THE HAMMERLOCK! LOOKING FOR BLOOD MONEY!!! BUT GREED FINDS THE STRENGTH TO RESIST FROM SOMEWHERE!!!

Wilson: GREED HITS A PUNCH TO THE LIVER WITH HIS FREE ARM! NAVARRO FAILS TO DEFEND AGAINST IT SO GREED SHOOTS ANOTHER SHOT AND ANOTHER! NAVARRO FLINCHES AND KEELS OVER A MOMENT GIVING GREED THE ADVANTAGE TO FORCE MATIAS BACKWARDS INTO THE CORNER! GREED GOES FOR A SHOULDER THRUST TO THE MIDSECTION - BUT NAVARRO PULLS HIMSELF UP OVER IT! MATIAS INTO THE SUNSET FLIP BUT GREED ROLLS STRAIGHT THROUGH AND UP ONTO HIS FEET… HE COMES BACK WITH A DEVASTATING HIGH KNEE AND NOW IT’S GREED TRAPPING NAVARRO’S ARM AS HE LOOKS TO LIFT HIM INTO THE TOMBSTONE!

Stephens: HANG ON! MILTIADES SLOWLY CLIMBING UP ONTO THE APRON CATCHES GREED’S EYE AS HE PUT NAVARRO BACK DOWN! GREED DRAGS MATIAS ACROSS THE RING AND TOSSES HIM HEAD AND SHOULDERS THROUGH THE ROPES TO TRY AND KNOCK MILTIADES DOWN BUT MIL SIDESTEPS IT! ENZUIGIRI OVER THE ROPE LANDS ON THE BUTTON FROM MILTIADES AND HE TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO NAVARRO! WOAH!!! MILTIADES SPRINGS OFF THE BACK OF NAVARRO’S NECK AND SHOULDERS AS HE ENTERS THE RING TO FACE GREED! LAST SUNSET!!! GREED DUCKS THE DISCUS LARIAT BEFORE REBOUNDING KNOCK DOWN MILTIADES WITH A LEAPING LARIAT OF HIS OWN!

Wilson: WITH MILTIADES DOWN, GREED SPRAWLS TO TAKE CONTROL OF HIM LIKE A TRUE GRAPPLER! GREED MANIPULATES HIS OPPONENT’S BODY WELL AND - YES - THE SEAL OF THE SEVEN SINS!!! GREED HAS THE SUBMISSION LOCKED IN AND AT THIS STAGE IT COULD BE A MATCH WINNER! MILTIADES CALLS OUT IN PAIN BUT IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE HE IS ABLE TO DO ANYTHING USEFUL IN REGARDS TO BREAKING THE HOLD HIMSELF! THANKFULLY HE HAS JUST GOT TO HOLD ON HERE A LITTLE MORE AS MATIAS NAVARRO IS REALISING WHAT IS HAPPENING AND HITTING THE RING… AND HE DOES IT! MATIAS BREAKS IT UP WITH LOW DROPKICK TO GREED!!!

Stephens: Miltiades take the opportunity to roll out of the way and pull himself up to his feet with the aid of the ropes. Meanwhile, it looks like Greed and Navarro are keeping themselves preoccupied with each other… BOTH MEN LOCK UP IN A COLLAR AND ELBOW TIE! NAVARRO GETS THE BETTER OF IT! HE FORCES GREED BACK AGAINST THE ROPES AND DELIVERS A SEARING KNIFE-EDGED CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST! AS GREED GRIMACES, NAVARRO KNOCKS THE AIR OUT OF HIM WITH A KNEE TO THE GUT AND FORCES HIS HEAD BETWEEN HIS LEGS! NAVARRO GETS HIM UP… AND LAUNCHES HIM FOR A BUCKLE BOMB!!! GREED IS LEFT ROLLING AROUND IN AGONY!!!

Wilson: BUT MATIAS CAN’T AFFORD TO WASTE TIME ENJOYING HIS HANDIWORK! MILTIADES CHARGES IN! NAVARRO LEANS IN FOR THE BACK BODY DROP BUT MILTIADES ROLLS OVER - NERO’S LAST CALL!!! HOLY MOLY! MILTIADES JUST STOMPED GREED INTO THE CANVAS COMING OFF NAVARRO’S BACK BODY DROP ATTEMPT! AND NOW THERE IS TWO!!! MILTIADES AND NAVARRO STARE DOWN WITH AN INTENSITY YOU CAN CUT WITH A KNIFE! MILTIADES MAKES THE FIRST MOVE, RUNNING IN FOR THE LARIAT! BUT NAVARRO REVERSES IT! HE CATCHES THE ARM, LOCKING IT BEHIND MILTIADES BACK AS HE PULLS HIM IN CLOSE FOR THE BLOOD MONEY!!! BUT MILTIADES WON’T ALLOW HIMSELF TO GO DOWN LIKE THAT! HE FINDS SOME STRENGTH INSIDE HIMSELF AND LIFTS NAVARRO INTO A KIND OF NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! HE CANNOT KEEP A HOLD OF HIM, THOUGH! NAVARRO ROLLS AND GETS AROUND MILTIADES AS HE RIS-

Stephens: NAVARRO WITH A LOW BLOW!!! HE WENT FOR THE CHEAP TACTIC THERE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BACKFIRED ANYWAY! MILTIADES CATCHES THE HAND IN BETWEEN HIS KNEES AND STARTS SHAKING HIS FINGER! HE SCOOTS AROUND MANIPULATING THE ARM AND TURNING THIS UNIQUE POSITION INTO A LA MAGISTRAL CRADLE!

Referee: ONE!... TWO!...

Wilson: KICK OUT BY NAVARRO! HE AND MILTIADES BOTH RACE TO THEIR FEET - AND MIL POPS HIM UP IN THE AIR! UPROOT!!! THE VERY EUROPEAN UPPERCUT SNAPS NAVARRO’S HEAD ALL THE WAY BACK AND THE WHIPLASH THERE ALONE MIGHT HAVE HIM OUT FOR THE COUNT! MILTIADES EMERGING INTO AN ENVIABLE POSITION IN THIS MATCH BUT HAS GOT TO KEEP HIS WITS ABOUT HIM! GREED IS STARTING TO STIR AND MILTIADES LOOKS NONE THE WISER… GREED CATCHES THE WRIST FROM BEHIND! HE SPINS MILTIADES OUT FOR THE SEVENTH SIN!!! BUT MILTIADES BATS HIS HAND AWAY!!! KING’S DEAD!!! KING’S DEAD!!! MILTIADES HITS THE SPINNING HEEL KICK WITH APLOMB AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS FOR THE COVER!!!

Referee: ONE!... TWO!...

Stephens: MATIAS ON ALL FOURS FOR THE SAVE…

Referee: THREEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“King’s Dead” by Kendrick Lamar erupts from the sound system as Matias Navarro is too late to break up the pin. Miltiades rolls out of the ring to celebrate, barely acknowledging the stablemates he defeated to claim this victory.)

Saya Takada: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner and the next contender for SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship… MILTIADES!!!.

Wilson: THE KING HAS ARRIVED! A superlative performance by the most august “Augustus” Miltiades and I have got to say this victory was well earned. The great thing about Tres Comas Club is that you know they aren’t going to let friendships or faction loyalty get in the way of individual success. Far from it. These guys are competing with each other for their investors’ favor each and every week and that always spurs them on to throw their buddies under the bus to prove they are the best. Don’t you love the free market, Stephens?

Stephens: It’s hard to argue that this match wasn’t that bit more heated than perhaps it might have been if none of these guys were in the same faction. Tres Comas Club is nothing if not cut throat and it takes a lot to rise to the top. But it takes even more to stay there to see how Miltiades does from here on out. As for the other two, back to the drawing board for now but it must only be a matter of time before we see one of them back in with a chance at gold!

(Miltiades continues to march his way up the ramp with a smile on his face, continuing to celebrate the opportunity he has just secured for himself, as he raises his hand once more before making his exit. Matias Navarro has been beating himself up for not being able to prevent the pin from being made, following up the ramp himself with a disappointed look on his face, as he makes his way backstage also. GREED has to be helped to roll out of the ring and escorted by The Young Lions, unable to keep himself up on his feet for a while, as they bring him backstage to clear out the ring. Once the ring area has been cleared, the camera points towards the titantron to showcase the next match… )

Saya Takada: The following Tag Team Contest is scheduled for one fall!

('Dancing Mad' by the Black Mages hits the PA System as the lights dim down. The fans have their phones out for their favorite as Shinati Mizarki steps through the curtains to a huge ovation. He is decked out in his traditional attire with a golden tiger at the centre. He waits a the stage for his partner.)

Saya Takada: Introducing first, representing the Shoot Nation… he is from Ginza, Tokyo, Japan... weighing in at 205lbs… he is “THE JAPANESE ARCHITECT”... SHINAAAATTIIIIIIIIII MIZZZZZAAAAARRRKIIII!!!!

("All My Life" by Foo Fighters now echoes throughout the arena as Steven Cassidy enters the frame and shakes hands with Mizarki. The crowd cheer for Cassidy as both men make their way to the ring now, playing to the fans.)

Saya Takada: And his tag team partner! Representing Shoot Nation, from Lawrence, Kansas… weighing in at 190lbs… he is “RAIONHATO”... STEEEVEEENNNNN CASSSSIDDYYYY!!!!

Mark Stephens: What a way to start the night, here at The Shizouka Stadium. We have a faction warfare between The Shoot Nation and The Phantom Troupe! Mizarki and Cassidy are some of the fan favorites of the SSW Crowd, which is highly evident by their reception tonight!

Daniel Wilson: Jaydayne Pendragon will be fighting Aria Jaxon in the Main Event for the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship in yet another Phantom Troupe vs Shoot nation matchup. So, maybe this match will have some implantations for what is to come later on tonight!

(“Awaken” by Deathklok is played out next to a chorus of boos. An imposing figure steps through the curtains in the form of Maelstrom. He has a sadistic look in his face as he glares down at his opponents in the ring. He slowly walks down the ramp looking disgruntled as he climbs up on the apron)

Saya Takada: And their opponents! Introducing first, representing The Phantom Troupe… From Parts Unknown, weighing in tonight at 240lbs… He is “THE VIOLENT SEA OF DESTRUCTION”, MAAAAELLLLSTOOORMMMM!!!!

(“Du Hast” by Rammstein hits the PA System as Falke Halstenberg steps through the curtains with a Germany and Phantom troupe flag to a chorus of boos. He plants the flag on the mast and twirls his moustache. He smirks at the crowd reception he is getting as he walks down the ramp towards the ring.)

Saya Takada: And his tag team partner, from Hamburg, Germany! Representing The Phantom Troupe, weighing in at 235lbs… He is “THE EXAMPLE OF PURE GERMAN ENGINEERING”, FAAAALKEEEE HAAALSTEEENNNNBERGGG!!

Mark Stephens: Falke Halstenberg, a proud German and a proud Phantom Troupe member, makes his way to the ring. Last week, he scored a win over Mizarki and he plans on continuing that tonight in this tag team matchup.

Daniel Wilson: These two certainly have what it takes to dominate the tag division. Maelstrom isn’t someone to forget about either. Hell bent on spreading destruction and chaos down upon his enemies, Maelstrom is on a quest of creating his own “Distortion World” as he calls it. Unlike Falke, Maelstrom was caught off guard by Steven Cassidy only to be blindsided by Falke. He was saved by his tag team partner and fellow Shoot Nation Member leading to this match tonight. With the scores tied individually, what will the tag team match hold for the participants… We are about to find out.

(DING! DING! DING!)

Mark Stephens: The referee signals for the bell as Cassidy and Falke start this matchup for their respective teams. Both men lockup in the middle of the ring as Falke gets the upper hand early on in this match. Falke gets a headlock and transitions smooth behind Cassidy. BELLY-TO BACK SUPLEX! BEAUTIFUL TRANSITION BY THE CATCH SPECIALIST. He picks up Cassidy and yanks his arm! He twists his arm into an arm wrench. HE FOLLOWS THAT WITH A LARIAT! COVER!

Referee: ONEE!! TWOO!! T-

Daniel Wilson: Cassidy gets his shoulder up at two. Falke continues with the arm control as he picks up Cassidy and drags him to his corner. TAG! Here comes Maelstrom as he punches Cassidy right in the gut dropping him on his knees. A STIFF KNEE BY MAELSTROM FLOORS CASSIDY. COVER!

Referee: ONEE! TWOO!! T-

Mark Stephens: Cassidy kicks out yet again at two. Maelstrom now drops his knees onto Cassidy’s chest! That looked brutal. Followed by another one! He picks up Cassidy and whips him to the ropes…. Maelstrom WITH A DISCUS LARIAT!! CASSIDY WAS TURNED INSIDE OUT!

Daniel Wilson: Phantom Troupe getting the advantage over the Shoot Nation members as both Falke and Maelstrom concentrate on the smaller Steven Cassidy. Mizarki looks on from the apron desperate for a tag but these two are not letting Cassidy get back to his corner. Maelstrom with the tag to Falke. Falke runs in with a German Uppercut!

Mark Stephens: Steven Cassidy desperately needs to make the tag as Falke now stomps on Cassidy’s ankle and leg. He is targeting his leg possibly softening him up for the Berlin Wall. Falke now… He picks up Cassidy and grabs a hold of his leg for A DRAGON SCREW! He drags Cassidy by the leg to his corner and tags Maelstrom. TAG!

Daniel Wilson: Maelstrom comes in and lands an elbow onto Cassidy’s leg. Both these men are targeting Cassidy’s leg for a submission victory. Maelstrom now picks up Cassidy.

Mark Stephens: Maelstrom PICKS CASSIDY UP TO A VERTICAL BASE. HE IS LOOKING FOR THE DELAYED VERTICAL SUPLEX! LOOK AT THE STRENGTH OF Maelstrom! HE HOLDS ONTO CASSIDY BUT WAIT!! CASSIDY WITH A KNEE ONTO Maelstrom’S FOREHEAD! He lands on his feet looking to tag Mizarki but NO! Maelstrom RUSHES IN WITH A CHOPBLOCK CUTTING CASSIDY DOWN BACK TO THE GROUND. He picks him up again and whips him to the opposite corner. Maelstrom RUSHES IN WITH A RUNNING DOUBLE KNEE STRIKE ON CASSIDY WHO CRASHES TO THE MAT! Cover!

Referee: ONEEE!! TWOO!!! THRE-

Daniel Wilson: Steven Cassidy manages to get his shoulder up! Maelstrom now taunting Cassidy… He slaps Cassidy right in the face. Wow! BUT CASSIDY WITH A SLAP OF HIS OWN! Maelstrom IS ANGRY. HE KICKS CASSIDY IN THE GUT! HE LOOKS TO BE SETTING UP FOR A POWERBOMB. HE PICKS CASSIDY UP TO HIS SHOULDERS BUT WAIT! CASSIDY SHIFTS HIS WAIT AND CHANGES DIRECTION FOR THE REVERSED FRANKENSTEINER! HE PLANTED Maelstrom ON TOP OF HIS HEAD!!

Mark Stephens: Maelstrom crumples to the matt like a sack of potatoes! This is the opening Cassidy needed. He crawls towards Mizarki and leaps in for the tag! Maelstrom tags in Falke as he rolls out of the ring! Mizarki runs in with a forearm smash to Falke. He follows that with another forearm smash. Mizarki has been waiting for so long for the tag and he is finally getting his chance. He strikes Falke with jabs and hooks as Falke tries to block it with his hands. He follows that with a kick to the side of the head of Falke! Falke is staggering! He hooks Falke’s arm for A SNAP SUPLEX. BUT MIZARKI HOLDS ON WITH HIS GRIP. HE ROLLS OVER AND PICKS HIMSELF AND FALKE UP AGAIN. THIS TIME HE HOOKS BOTH THE ARMS AND GOES FOR THE TIGER SUPLEX! MIZARKI IS ON FIRE!

Daniel Wilson: Maelstrom rushes in to help his partner but MIZARKI CATCHES HIM WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!

Mark Stephens: Both Falke and Maelstrom roll out of the ring to catch their breath. But Mizarki is quick to climb the top rope. A BEAUTIFUL MOONSAULT BY MIZARKI TO BOTH THE MEN OUTSIDE AS ALL THREE MEN ARE ON THE FLOOR. Mizarki screams at Cassidy who has somewhat regained his breath after resting outside to do something. Cassidy now steps into the ring and stalks both the men outside. Falke and Maelstrom slowly get up to their feet as Cassidy rebounds of the ropes and HITS THE TOPE SUICIDA!

Daniel Wilson: The referee now signals Mizarki to bring himself and Falke back to the ring being the two legal men. Mizarki follows through rolling Falke back into the ring. Mizarki now steps through the ring but wait! Falke kicked the middle rope right as Mizarki was stepping through catching him in the groin! The referee missed that as he was signalling Cassidy to go back to his corner. Falke now catches Mizarki with the small package.

Referee: ONEEE!! TWOOO!!! THR-

Mark Stephens: Shinati Mizarki stays in the match and the crowd take a collective sigh of relief! Nobody wanted the match to end like that. Falke gets Mizarki in a seated position. He runs in WITH THE PENALTY KICK ON MIZARKI! GOOAAALL! COVER!

Referee: ONEE! TWOO!! THR-

Daniel Wilson: Mizarki kicks out yet again. Falke is getting a little frustrated now. Maelstrom gets back to the apron and Falke makes the tag. Maelstrom now picks up Mizarki in a powerbomb position. HE HITS THE SITOUT POWERBOMB! QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER!

Referee: ONEEEE!! TWOOO!!! THREE-

Mark Stephens: Mizarki rolls his shoulder off the mat! Maelstrom taunts the audience with the throat slit. He is signalling for the end! He is looking for the Psycho Crusher on Mizarki as Falke looks in confidently. BUT MIZARKI CATCHES Maelstrom WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! HE PICKS UP Maelstrom AND WHIPS HIM TO THE ROPES. MIZARKI HITS THE ROPES ADJACENT TO THAT AND CONNECTS WITH THE DISCUS ELBOW SMASH!! Fantajī Mezamemasu! Cover!

Referee: ONEE!! TWOO!!

Daniel Wilson: Falke steps in and breaks the count. Mizarki isn’t happy about that but Falke catches Mizarki with a FOURTH REICH OUT OF NOWHERE! CASSIDY RUSHES IN WITH A HUGE DROPKICK! HE PICKS UP FALKE AND HITS THE KISS THE RING!!

Mark Stephens: Pumphandle Reverse STO!! Falke rolls out of the ring as Cassidy rushes back to his corner and urges Mizarki to make the tag. Mizarki now slowly crawling towards Cassidy and he tags him! Maelstrom has nobody to tag in as Cassidy rushes in towards Maelstrom with a flurry of kicks. He follows that with a roundhouse kick which has Maelstrom staggering! CASSIDY ISN’T DONE! HE HITS A SUPERKICK!!!! Maelstrom CRASHES DOWN TO THE MAT! CASSIDY WASTING NO TIME! HE PICKS UP Maelstrom AND HITS THE KISS THE RING ONCE AGAIN! A MOVE ADOPTED BY HIM FROM HIS MENTOR, KOJI SENJU! COVER!

Referee: ONEEEEE!!! TWOOOOO!!!! THREEEEEE!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

("All My Life" by Foo Fighters hits the arena again to a loud cheer by the audience. Mizarki comes in and hugs Cassidy as the referee reaches out to them and raises their hand in victory! Mizarki and Cassidy celebrate in the ring as the crowd cheer them on. Falke helps Maelstrom out of the ring as they head back.)

Saya Takada: Here are your winners… SHINATI MIZARKI AND STEVEN CASSIDY!!!

Daniel Wilson: What a start to the show tonight! Steven Cassidy and Shinati Mizarki from the Shoot Nation pick up a big victory over The Phantom troupe members in Maelstrom and Falke Halstenberg. Falke and Maelstrom had the upper hand throughout most of the match but the quick paced offense of Mizarki and Cassidy caught these two off-guard. But what a performance by the victors tonight!

Mark Stephens: Absolutely! These two kept on fighting till the end and it payed off as they come of with a victory. A great start for the Shoot Nation tonight and is this a hint for the things to come later on?

Daniel Wilson: I won’t count the Phantom Troupe out yet. The night has just begun and we have a long way to go before we figure out which faction was the most dominant of the night.

(Once The Phantom Troupe makes their exit, Mizarki and Cassidy leap onto the turnbuckles and rejoice their victory that has been achieved tonight! They drop down and embrace once more before rolling out of the ring and celebrating with the fans while walking up the ramp. They reach the stage and celebrate once more before making their exit backstage. Once the ring has been cleared, the camera points up to the titantron to reveal the next match… )

Saya Takada: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL and is for the SSW FREEBIRD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!

(“Carnage” by contRoVersy erupts from the speakers as CM Nas, Saul Omen with Rick Walton in tow holding Nas’ Omega Heavyweight Championship above his head for everyone to see. For the first time in… Forever, the usually cocky CM Nas looks as solemn as Saul Omen as he seems to understand the weight of the coming match.)

Saya Takada: Introducing first, the challengers… Representing The Phantom Troupe and weighing in at a combined 414 pounds… SAUL OMEN AND C. M. NAS!!!

Stephens: When the Phantom Troupe set their eyes on something, it can be hell trying to stop them. They have been a constant thorn in the side of management, the locker room, and innocent bystanders alike in their pursuit of chaos and domination here at Strong Style Wrestling. But by hook or by crook they very often get what they want. The stark exception has been these two men and their chase for the SSW Freebird Tag Team Titles. Now coming off the big momentum booster of their defeat of Brian Daniels and Stark, these two finally get another shot at the gold, two-on-two with the champs. Now it is up to them to prove that they are the best tag team in the game here.

(“The One True Theme” by contRoVersy begins to play as The One True Pairing, Cassius and Sakura Corleone, enter wearing their “Lovebird Champions” t-shirts and with the SSW Freebird Tag Team Championships slung over their shoulders. They lean together and kiss at the top of the ramp, then make the titles kiss, then head down the ramp holding hands.)

Announcer: And their opponents… Representing Tres Comas Club and weighing in at a combined 357 pounds… They are your SSW FREEBIRD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS...CASSIUS AND SAKURA CORLEONE. THE. ONE. TRUE. PAIRING!!!

Wilson: The Phantom Troupe don’t often care about something so petty as proving a point, but in this case… They might make an exception. CM Nas will have a monkey on his back after taking the pin in the four corners match that first crowned the One True Pairing as champions. Aside from that, OTP are just as guileful, intelligent and malicious as just about any members of the Phantom Troupe so we’re on pretty even ground here. In fact, OTP will claim the advantage is all theirs. No pairing has as much chemistry as a pair of star-crossed lovers after all, and this connection could well be the difference-maker once again.

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephens: That is the bell. It looks like we shall have Saul Omen and Cassius Corleone kick us off for their respective tag teams. The two men begin to circle, taking their time and looking for an opening… SAUL OMEN SHOOTS IN LOW FOR A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN! CASSIUS CORLEONE SPRAWLS MANAGING TO STAY UP, LOCK OMEN IN CLOSE AND START TO FORCE HIM BACKWARDS TOWARDS THE ROPES! THE KNIFE EDGED CHOP TO OMEN’S CHEST ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE STADIUM AS A BRIGHT RED WELT STARTS TO FORM WHERE CASH’S HAND HAD BEEN! Omen puts on a brave face… BUT CASSIUS HACKS AT HIS CHEST AGAIN! SAUL ALMOST DROPS TO HIS KNEES HERE BUT CASSIUS CATCHES HIM WITH A HAND AROUND THE JAW AND FORCES HIM BACK AGAIN! CORLEONE LOOPS OMEN’S ARMS BACK UNDER THE ROPES TO TIE HIM UP AND KEEP HIM STEADY… AND THERE’S ANOTHER KNIFE-EDGED CHOP! THIS TIME RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE!!!

Wilson: That ain’t just a little slap for disrespect. Cash busted this boy’s lip right open and has him groggy as if it were a punch. Cash whips Omen across the ring. AND CORLEONE SWINGS A LARIAT AT THE REBOUNDING OMEN, BUT SAUL DUCKS IT AND HITS THE ROPES AGAIN! THE HEAT-SEEKING LARIAT COMES BACK FOR SAUL ONCE MORE BUT OMEN FLOATS OVER IT! HE PULLS CASH IN AND UNDERHOOKS AN ARM, LOOKING TO PUT A NAIL IN THE COFFIN RIGHT HERE! BUT CASH FORCES HIS WAY OUT!!! HE’S GOT THE WRIST!!! SHORT! ARM! LARIATOOO!!! THE HEAT-SEEKING LARIAT LIVES UP TO ITS REPUTATION AND FINALLY TURNS SAUL OMEN INSIDE OUT!

Stephens: Cassius drags Saul to his feet and taxis him over to the One True Corner. He tosses Omen up against the turnbuckle pad AND UNLEASHES WITH THE CORNER CLOTHESLINES! I COUNT FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! AND AFTER THAT LAST ONE, CASSIUS BACK OFF TO THE CENTRE WHILE SAKURA KEEPS SAUL FROM MOVING… AND HERE’S THE RETURN FLIGHT! CASSIUS HITS THE CORNER SPLASH AS SAKURA TAGS HERSELF IN!

Wilson: SAKURA UNLOADS HER ROUNDHOUSE KICKS TO THE MIDSECTION OF SAUL OMEN! ALL THESE SHOTS IN THE CORNER, THEY MUST BE TAKING THEIR TOLL ON HIS GAS TANK RIGHT NOW WHICH MEANS IT IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO KEEP UP FOR THE REST OF THE MATCH! THE OFFICIAL INFORMS SAKURA THAT IT IS TIME TO BACK OFF AND CASSIUS TAGS HIMSELF IN TO CONTINUE THE MURDER TRAIN AND STARTS DELIVERING SOME RAPID FIRE MACHINE GUN CHOPS TO THE CHEST OF SAUL OMEN! SAKURA TAG BACK IN AND THE ONE TRUE PAIRING GUIDE SAUL INTO THE CENTRE OF THE RING TOGETHER LIKE THE PERFECT COUPLE THEY ARE! THEY WHIP HIM INTO THE ROPES… DROP TOEHOLD BY CASH AND OMEN DROPS HEAD FIRST INTO THE AWAITING KNEE OF SAKURA CORLEONE!!! SHE HOOKS THE LEG!

Referee: ONE!... TWO!...

Stephens: CM Nas was about to rush in and break it up but it was not necessary as Saul Omen kicks out by his own volition. Sakura contorts her face into a fed-up frown but Cassius consoles her from the corner, blowing a kiss which she catches and holds to her bosom with a smile. Sakura gets back to work, targeting Saul Omen’s legs this time AND LOCKING HIM UP IN THE RAINBOW BRIDGE SUBMISSION HOLD!

Wilson: IT MAY BE A CUTESY NAME, BUT LET ME TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT SAUL OMEN IS FEELING ALL COLOURS OF PAIN RIGHT NOW! I MEAN IT! THE WHOLE DAMN SPECTRUM FROM BURNING TO PULLING TO TEARING TO DULL ACHES TO PINS AND NEEDLES WHERE IT IS MESSING WITH HIS CIRCULATION! SAUL OMEN IS OVERWHELMED RIGHT NOW AND CM NAS SEES IT! HE STEPS INTO THE RING BECAUSE HE HAS GOT TO BREAK IT UP HERE - BUT HERE’S CASH!!! CASSIUS CORLEONE TACKLES NAS AT SPEED FOR A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN! NAS CAN’T FIGHT THE MOMENTUM AND HE GETS TAKEN CLEAN OFF HIS FEET AS CASSIUS TAKES THE MOUNTS AND PUMMELS DOWN WITH SOME VICIOUS HAMMERFISTS!

Stephens: NAS MADE THE MISTAKE OF TARGETING SAKURA WITHOUT CHECKING THE OTHER LOVEBIRD FIRST! NOW BOTH OF THE TROUPE ARE IN TROUBLE! SAKURA CONTINUES TO TORQUE THE VERTEBRAE IN SAUL’S SPINE AS CASSIUS TRANSITIONS TO FIND THE CRUCIFIX ON NAS! HERE IT IS!!! NAS IS GETTING PASTED WITH A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE ELBOWS AND HE JUST HAS NO WAY TO COVER UP! THIS IS NOT HOW THE PHANTOM TROUPE MIGHT HAVE PICTURED THIS GOING!

Wilson: The official tries to separate Nas and Cassius and restore order to this match. All the while he is glancing over his shoulder to see if Omen taps. AND CASSIUS GRABS HIM BY THE COLLAR! CASSIUS CORLEONE IS GIVING THE OFFICIAL A LECTURE ON PROTECTING THE ONE YOU LOVE! AND THE TIMING COULDN’T BE MORE PERFECT… SAUL OMEN DRIVES FORWARD WITH A LAST GASP EFFORT TO CLUTCH THE BOTTOM ROPE! BUT IT IS MEANINGLESS! THE OFFICIAL TOO DISTRACTED TO FORCE THE BREAK AND SAKURA HAS FREE REIGN TO CONTORT OMEN UNTIL HE PHYSICALLY SNAPS!

Stephens: SAKURA KEEP TURNS UP THE STRAIN, ARCHING BACK TO MORE AND MORE ACUTE ANGLES HERE - BUT MAYBE SHE HAS GONE TOO FAR!!! SHE LEANS FAR BACK ENOUGH THAT SAUL MANAGES TO REACH AROUND HER FACE AND HE GOUGES AT HER EYES! Sakura is forced to release the hold and she reels away giving Saul the space to drag himself up with the assistance of the ropes. Sakura snaps back into the game. SHE RACES OFF THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING… AND FLIES BACK WITH A HIP ATTACK ON OMEN!!! NO! SAUL DIVES OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST MOMENT AND SAKURA LANDS CAUGHT IN THE ROPES WITH HER BOTTOM HANGING OUT OVER THE APRON!

Wilson: HERE’S OMEN’S OPENING! IT’S HIS TURN TO REBOUND OFF THE ROPES AND HE DOESN’T MISS WITH A FRONT DROPKICK THAT SENDS SAKURA TUMBLING RIGHT TO THE OUTSIDE! CASSIUS FLIES INTO A RAGE AT THE SIGHT OF IT! CASH LEAVES NAS WHERE HE IS TO TAKE A LUNGE AT SAUL BUT THE OFFICIAL THROWS HIMSELF BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM! THE REFEREE IS **ACTUALLY** MAKING HIMSELF USEFUL HERE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE CASSIUS IS READY TO HAND HIM A CLUMP FOR HIS TROUBLES!

Stephens: WATCH OUT! CM NAS BLITZES AROUND THE RING, RIGHT ON COURSE FOR SAKURA… RASENGAN!!! HE KNOCKS HER BACK DOWN WITH A FANTASTIC STRIKE JUST AS SHE WAS STAGGERING TO HER FEET! NAS PULLS SAKURA IN… PLA KET-KET-KET!!! THE SUPLEX STUNNER CONNECTS! CASSIUS LOOKS HORRIFIED AT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO SAKURA UNDER HIS WATCH! HE’S STUNNED! OMEN SPINS HIM AROUND FOR A NAIL IT THE COFFIN!!! THIS TIME IT CONNECTS! SAUL ROLLS THE BODY OF CASH OUT OF THE RING AS NAS SWAPS WITH HIM, HANDING OVER SAKURA. OMEN MAKES THE PIN!

Referee: ONE!... TWO!...

Wilson: KICKOUT by Sakura! Saul punishes her for it with couple of heavy stomps to the gut before rolling her over onto her hands and knees! Omen backs off, impatiently waiting for Sakura to lift her head from the canvas… AND HE RACES BACK WITH A THE DEATH’S VOW TO THE HEAD!!! NO! SAKURA PULLS HERSELF JUST CENTIMETERS CLEAR OF THE BICYCLE KNEE! SHE GETS BEHIND HIM AND LEAPS FOR A CRUCIFIX DRIVER! BUT SAUL STEADIES HIMSELF! HE STAYS ON HIS FEET AND STARTS TO TAKE CONTROL BACK AGAIN! ETERNAL SCHISM!!! SAUL FOLDS SAKURA’S NECK OVER HIS KNEE!!!

Stephens: CM Nas gives his partner an ovation from the corner and then holds his hand out to receive the tag. Cassius climbs back up in the and does the same, crying out for his love to come to him. BUT THE TROUPE TAG FIRST! SAUL HIGHTAILS ACROSS THE RING, SPRINGING OFF THE ROPES TO KNOCK CASSIUS BACK DOWN THE WITH TRIANGLE DROPKICK!!! The Phantom Troupe have taken complete control of this match as CM Nas underhooks and Saul Omen clambers up to the top rope… NAS FLIPS SAKURA UP - AND SLAMS HER BACK DOWN FOR A TIGER BOMB! OMEN FOLLOWS WITH A SANGUINE STAR FROM UP HIGH THEN QUICKLY GETS OUT OF THE WAY SO THAT NAS CAN MAKE THE COVER!

Referee: ONE!... TWO!...

Wilson: SAKURA POPS THE SHOULDER UP! AFTER ALL THE PUNISHMENT SHE HAS JUST TAKEN, YOU MIGHT FORGIVE THE PHANTOM TROUPE FOR THINKING THAT WAS THE END OF THAT BUT THIS MATCH CONTINUES! NAS, GRINDING HIS TEETH IN FRUSTRATION PLOTS HIS NEXT MOVE. HE SEATS SAKURA UP AND LINES UP HIS SHOT… MASENKO!!! THE ROUNDHOUSE COMES IN FAST BUT IT IS A FRACTION TOO HIGH AS SAKURA DUCKS IT SUSTAINING LITTLE MORE THAN A GLANCING BLOW! NAS’ MISS SENDS HIM OFF BALANCE AND GIFTS SAKURA HIS BACK - AND THERE’S THE LUNGBLOWER!!!

Stephens: SAKURA BUYS SOME MUCH NEEDED TIME WITH THAT REVERSAL BUT SHE CANNOT AFFORD TO DALLY HERE! BOTH SCRAMBLE TO THEIR FEET AND SAKURA AHEAD WITH A SINGLE LEG DROPKICK! NAS REMAINS UNDETERRED AS HE ROLLS TO HIS FEET AND HE SHOOT A SCYTHING KICK TO SAKURA’S LEG! SHE BACKS AWAY OUT OF THAT WITH A VISIBLE LIMP AND IT LOOKS LIKE CM NAS IS TASTING THE BLOOD IN THE WATER!!! LIKE A PREDATOR ON THE HUNT, HE TARGETS THE WEAKENED LIMP WITH ANOTHER SHARP KICK FOLLOWED BY THE TEEP TO THE KNEE! SAKURA BUCKLES OVER EXPOSING HER BACK…

Wilson: PELÉ KICK!!! SHE LOOPS RIGHT OVER THE BACK OF NAS’ SKULL WITH THE OVERHEAD KICK AND I GUESS THAT IS HOW YOU CATCH A PREDATOR, FOLKS!!! NAS IS ROCKED! HE BACKS AWAY AS BEST HE CAN WHILE COVERING UP BUT SAKURA CORLEONE HITS THE VOID TO WIPE HIM OUT!! CASH APPEARS BACK ON THE APRON AND SAKURA TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY TO FORCE NAS INTO THE CORNER! Cassius tags his life partner out AND SMACKS THE TASTE OUT OF CM NAS’ MOUTH WITH A KNIFE EDGED CHOP!!! NAS IS SPUN FOR A LOOP BUT IT HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN AS CASH STARTS TO UNLOAD A FULL CLIP OF MACHINEGUN CHOPS!

Stephens: The moment that Cash stops firing, CM Nas almost collapses where he stands. But Cassius steadies him and drags Nas back out to a more central position. Corleone executes a FORCEFUL whip AND WATCHES NAS REBOUND BACK INTO THE MONEYMAKER!!! NO!!! NAS HOOKS THE ARM AND SPINS AROUND INTO THE BUTTERFLY! HE TIGHTENS THE HOLD, PARALYSING CASSIUS AND QUASHING HIUS RESISTANCE THROUGH EXCRUCIATING PAIN. NAS TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION… LIFTING CASH OVER FOR THE BUTTERFLY SUPLEX!!! AND HE ROLLS THROUGH! NAS IS BACK TO HIS FEET AND HE FOLLOWS UP WITH A FALCON ARROW!!!

Wilson: With Nas now back near the Phantom Troupe corner, Omen tags in to give his team mate a breather. Cassius is back to just a knee as Saul steps in and grabs a handful of his hair. AND CASSIUS FIGHTS BACK! HE PASTES THIS UNSEASONED PASTY WHITE BASEMENT DWELLER WITH SOME VICIOUS HOOKS TO THE LIVER! BUT SAUL SOAKS UP ALL THE SHOTS! HE MANHANDLES CASSIUS UP AND DRAGS HIM IN, LIFTING HIGH FOR A VERTICAL BRAINBUSTER! MALEFIC EMBRACE… BUT CORLEONE STOPS HIM DEAD WITH A KNEE TO THE HEAD! HE DROPS BACK DOWN TO HIS FEET AND TURNS IT AROUND, LIFTING OMEN UP HIGH BEFORE HITTING A VERTICAL SUPLEX POWERSLAM THAT SHAKES THAT ACROSS THROUGHOUT THE ARENA!!!

Stephens: Nas invades the ring to turn the tables back again BUT RUNS RIGHT INTO A MONEYMAKER ELBOW TO THE THROAT FOR HIS TROUBLES!!! NAS ROLLS OUT OF THE RING, HIS WINDPIPE CRUSHED AS HE STRUGGLES TO BREATHE! AND BACK BETWEEN THE ROPES, CASSIUS CORLEONE IS POINTING UP TO THE HIGH RENT DISTRICT! WITH NAS DISPOSED OF AND FREE TO FINISH OFF THE DOWNED SAUL OMEN, CASSIUS LOOKS TO END THIS MATCH IN SPECTACULAR FASHION AS HE ASCENDS TO THE TOP ROPE! LOOKING DOWN WITH DISGUST AND HATRED AT HIS FOE, CASSIUS PREPARES TO LEAP… FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH!!!

Wilson: BUT OMEN GETS THE KNEES UP! THIS IS A DISASTER!!! CASSIUS CORLEONE CRASHES AND BURNS! SAUL OMEN PRESSES THE ADVANTAGE, GETTING THE BACK AND TRYING TO DRAG CASSIUS DOWN TO THE MATT INTO A REAR NAKED CHOKE! CASH RELIEVES THE DANGER WITH A SNAPMARE. OMEN ROLLS STRAIGHT THROUGH AND FLINGS HIMSELF INTO THE PELÉ KICK ON A DIME! CASH SIDESTEPS IT AND NOW HE’S GOT OMEN FROM BEHIND… HALF AND HALF SUPLEX!!! BUT OMEN LANDS ON HIS FEET! DEATH’S VOW!!! THE DEATH’S VOW!!! CASSIUS IS SENT OFF HIS FEET AND COLLAPSES INTO THE ROPES! HE IS PROPELLED BACK AND REBOUNDS WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE SIDE OF OMEN’S HEAD!

Stephens: Both men are still somehow on their feet but are looking more than a bit groggy. OMEN THROWS ALL OF HIS WEIGHT INTO A FOREARM THAT RATTLES CASSIUS’ JAW! CORLEONE STAGGERS A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK BUT STEADIES HIMSELF - AND SWINGS WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN! OMEN IS ON WOBBLY LEGS AS HE STUMBLES ALL OF THE WAY ACROSS THE RING! THE ROPES ARE THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS HIM FROM GOING DOWN AS CASSIUS CORLEONE MOVE SIN FOR THE KILL. OMEN LEAPS FORWARD AND TRIES TO PUNISH HIM WITH A THRUST KICK BUT CASSIUS CATCHES THE ANKLE AND START TO EXERT HIS CONTROL ON THE ONE-LEGGED SAUL OMEN!

Wilson: BEAUTIFUL!!! CLASSIC CASH CATCHES CATCH AS CASH CAN CATCH WRESTLING AT IT’S FINEST!!! OMEN LOOKS READY TO GO TO GROUND BUT HE COUNTERS LAST MOMENT WITH A SPIN MULE KICK! SAUL KIPS UP AND CLOSES THE DISTAN-CASSIUS SCOOPS HIM UP AND PLANTS HIM IN THE CENTRE OF THE RING WITH A SPINNING SPINEBUSTER!!! SAUL OMEN ISN’T IN A HURRY TO GET BACK UP AFTER THAT!

Stephens: It looks like he’ll be a taking a trip up anyway. Cash gives a nod to Sakura. He hoists Saul Omen up into the electric chair, turning back to his lover as she mounts the top rope. Cash blows a heartfelt kiss which Sakura catches and transforms into two EMPHATIC thumbs up. THIS IS IT! THE VERY MOVE THAT THE ONE TRUE PAIRING HIT ON CM NAS TO CLAIM THE FREEBIRD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! HERE COMES THE JUDAS CRADLE TO END IT ALL…

Wilson: WAIT!!! THERE’S NAS!!! BAH GAWD! CM NAS POPS UP OUT OF NOWHERE, CLIMBING THE APRON AND PUSHING SAKURA OFF THE TOP ROPE AND DOWN TO RINGSIDE!!! SAUL TAKES ADVANTAGE OF CASH’S CONFUSION TO SLIP OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND PUSH HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE OUTSTRETCHED BOOT OF CM NAS! CORLEONE STUMBLES AWAY, BUT NAS LEAPS AFTER HIM TO HIT A BLOCKBUSTER AND I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! THIS MIGHT BE IT!!! THE PHANTOM TROUPE DRAG CASH BACK UP TO A VERTICAL BASE AND NAS HOLDS HIM THERE AS SAUL LINES UP HIS NEXT SHOT… MEMENTO MORI!!! IT COULD NOT HAVE LANDED CLEANER AND SAUL DROPS TO PIN THE NOW CATATONIC CASSIUS CORLEONE!!!

Referee: ONE!...

Stephens: SAKURA!...

Referee: TWO!...

Wilson: NAS!...

Referee: THREEEEE!!!

Stephens: JUST ENOUGH!!!

Wilson: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(CM Nas just about holds down Sakura Corleone long enough to prevent her from breaking up the pin. “Carnage” by contRoVersy begins to play as the elated Phantom Troupe members roll outside of the ring, snatch the SSW Freebird Tag Team Championships from a pair of Young Boys and start to celebrate. Saul smiles for the first time in over a decade before realising that he’s on camera and reverting back to usual solemn demeanor. Meanwhile, a tearful Sakura Corleone cradle’s Cassius’ head in the centre of the ring.)

Saya Takada: Ladies and gentlemen, your winners AND NEW SSW FREEBIRD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… CM NAS & SAUL OMEN… THE PHANTOM TROUPE!!!

Stephens: WE HAVE NEW CHAMPIONS! Saul Omen and CM Nas snatch victory from the jowls of defeat to bring yet more glory to the Phantom Troupe. Even with John Doe gone, the landscape has shifted even further the way many feared the most.

Wilson: Oh who even cares about that kind of politics, Stephens? Don’t you understand what is really important here?

Stephens: What are you even talking about.

Wilson: What am I even talking about? What are you… What are you, Mark Stephens? What are YOU because you don’t seem to be a baseline human being with actual emotions.

Stephens: What?

Wilson: Can’t you see? The dream is over. True love really didn’t conquer all. I’m truly heartbroken. If the One True Pairing’s love isn’t unbreakable, then what hope have the rest of us in our substandard relationships? I’m jaded, and sad and mostly disappointed for those two left in the ring.My only solace is knowing that they still have each other.

Stephens: Right…

(CM Nas and Saul Omen both make their exit from the ring with the SSW Freebird Tag Team Championships in their possession. Both men smiling with pride as they raise the championship belts in the air, flaunting them at the crowd with CM Nas teasing at Sakura Corleone with a wave, as the tearful face she wore was quickly replaced with fury, as she continued to hold Cassius in her arms. Once The Phantom Troupe left the stage, Sakura calls The Young Lions over towards the ring to help her get Cassius out of the ring, escorting him backstage with Sakura worried behind him and following them. Once the ring has been cleared, the camera points up towards the titantron… )

(https://i.imgur.com/2UPKz3Q.png)

Saya Takada: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

(“Come Together" by Godsmack hits the arena as an irate Gronk walks through the curtain. He roars at the crowd, taunting the audience as he raises his hands in the air. He looks intimidating as ever, as he strolls down the ramp looking menacing.)

Saya Takada: Introducing First! Representing the Phantom Troupe, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Weighing in at 370lbs… He is “THE MAD TITAN” GROOONNKKKKKKKK!!!!!

Mark Stephens: They call him the mad titan for a reason. Gronk comes out here tonight looking confident as ever. And with his size, why wouldn’t you be?

Daniel Wilson: That’s right. He is the enforcer, per say of the Phantom Troupe who are all involved in important matches tonight. Gronk has an opportunity to start it strong for the Phantom Troupe if he can overpower this man.

Mark Stephens: Look at that! That’s Jasmine Peyton! Scott Oasis’s gorgeous wife. She walks up to Saya and takes the microphone away from her.

(“The Wreckoning” by Nonpoint takes over the arena now, as Scott Oasis makes his way to the stage. He showcases his striking ability before he starts walking towards the ring with a smirk on his face. He looks at Gronk who gives him a mean look but he is not fazed by it. He climbs up the apron and poses.)

Jasmine Peyton: And his opponent! From Baltimore, Maryland…. Weighing at 270lbs! HE IS “THE ICE MAN”, “THE GATEKEEPER!”, “THE BACKBONE OF PRO WRESTLING”, SCCCCCOOTTTTTTTTTTT OAAAAAASSIIIIIIISSSSSS!!!!

Mark Stephens: If anybody can stand up to Gronk, it is this man. He has a busy weekend ahead of him, but he is here at the wonderful Shizuoka Stadium tonight.

Daniel Wilson: I don’t think Scott Oasis is used to having a size disadvantage though. That man is built like a tank but Gronk certainly the bigger man here tonight. These two titans clash against each other in an exciting matchup here at Domination.

(DING! DING! DING!)

Mark Stephens: The referee has signalled for the bell to be rung but these two haven’t locked up yet. They both close up towards each other and look at the size of Gronk. Scott Oasis realizes what he is dealing with here tonight. Oasis starts with a barrage of punches! Left hook! Jab! And Gronk has his hands up as he blocks the punches to minimize damage.

Daniel Wilson: Gronk is been pushed to the corner! That’s not something we see that often. Oasis with the shoulder tackles to Gronk!

Mark Stephens: Scott Oasis with the early advantage against the big man. Oasis runs to the opposite corner. He rushes back in BUT GRONK WITH THE BIG BOOT. Gronk picks up Oasis and SCOOP SLAMS HIM ONTO THE MAT! Gronk puts his boot over Oasis and WALKS OVER HIM. OH MY GOD. THAT’S 370 POUNDS DIGGING INTO YOUR CHEST! Cover!

Referee: ONEEEE! TWOO!! T-

Daniel Wilson: Kickout by Oasis. Gronk’s offense is certainly destructive, but he needs to do more than that to get the win.

Mark Stephens: Gronk picks up Oasis now and he whips him to the opposite corner. GRONK RUNS IN WITH A SPLASH CRUSHING OASIS WITH HIS WEIGHT. Scott Oasis is a tough guy but Gronk’s size advantage might be too much for him to overcome. Oasis now seated at the corner against the bottom turnbuckle. Gronk runs in looking for a knee strike but Oasis moves out of the way at the last second! Gronk hits his knees hard into the turnbuckle!

Daniel Wilson: This might be the opening Scott Oasis needed. Oasis now with the chopblock and Gronk is on his knees! Oasis grabs Gronk’s head AND SPIKES HIM WITH A DDT! Cover!

Referee: ONEE!! TWOO!! TH-

Mark Stephens: Gronk powers out at two and a half! Oasis smartly hooking the other leg making Gronk use his bad leg to kick out adding to the strain. OASIS QUICKLY GRABBING HOLD OF GRONK’S LEG AND TURNING HIM AROUND FOR THE ONE-LEGGED BOSTON CRAB! Gronk is in pain!

Daniel Wilson: Will we see a monster like Gronk tap out tonight?!

Mark Stephens: Gronk uses all of his strength and size to grab the ropes as the referee begins to count for the break.

Referee: Come on, Scott! Break the hold… ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI-

Daniel Wilson: Scott Oasis fully utilizing the five count to his advantage as Gronk is using the ropes to stand up again.

Mark Stephens: LOOK AT SCOTT OASIS! HE GETS BEHIND GRONK AND CATCHES HIM WITH A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX! WHAT A DISPLAY OF POWER!

Daniel Wilson: Gronk landed right on top of his neck! Oasis looks pumped up. It’s not usual for Scott Oasis to not have the power advantage but he is methodically taking down Gronk tonight. Something Gronk is probably incapable of doing himself.

Mark Stephens: That is true. Gronk may be a force of nature but when it comes to the brain department, he is a bit lacking. And Scott Oasis is taking full advantage of that.

Daniel Wilson: Oasis now picks Gronk’s leg and kicks him hard behind the knee. He then drops an elbow on the knee as Gronk clutches his knee from pain.

Mark Stephens: Oasis now taunting Gronk… Not everybody can get away with that, but if there is a man. It has to be Scott Oasis. He hasn’t aligned with any of the factions himself, but the damage he has been doing being a free agent is commendable. Scott Oasis letting Gronk get back to his feet slowly as he GETS A HOLD OF HIM AGAIN, LOOKING FOR ANOTHER GERMAN BUT NO. GRONK CLUTCHES ON TO THE GRIP OF SCOTT OASIS AND BREAKS IT UP. GRONK FOLLOWS THAT WITH A VICIOUS ELBOW THAT ROCKS OASIS! HE PICKS OASIS UP ON HIS SHOULDERS AND HITS THE RUNNING POWERSLAM! COVER!

Referee: ONEE!! TWOO!! TH-

Daniel Wilson: And Oasis kicks out! Gronk is not happy with the way Oasis has been disrespecting him tonight and he is ready to turn the tide around in his favor.

Mark Stephens: But we can see him limping a little. Scott Oasis has done considerable damage to Gronk and his left knee. Oasis is now back to his feet but Gronk runs in with a BODY BLOCK!! OASIS JUST GOT FLATTENED. Gronk leds out a loud roar! He walks over and picks up Oasis BUT OASIS HITS HIM WITH A VICIOUS HEADBUTT! BUT WHAT IS THIS! GRONK RECOVERS FROM IT ALMOST INSTANTLY AND LANDS ONE OF HIS OWN! NOT JUST ONE! GRONK NOW WITH A FLURRY OF HEADBUTTS.

Daniel Wilson: Scott Oasis might be busted open! Someone check on him.

Mark Stephens: He picks up Scott Oasis to a vertical base. VERTICAL DROP BRAINBUSTERRR!!!! COVER!

Referee: ONEEE!! TWOOO!!! THRE-

Daniel Wilson: Scott Oasis rolls his shoulder off the mat and Gronk cannot believe it. How did Oasis kick out of that!

Mark Stephens: Oasis is a tough SOB and Gronk is finding that out first hand. But Gronk believes that he has Oasis in the bag. Gronk looks to be going for the GRONK SMASHHH!!! HE LIFTS SCOTT OASIS UP TO HIS SHOULDERS! BUT SCOTT OASIS FIGHTS TO GET OUT OF THE GRIP. HE REPEATEDLY PUNCHES GRONK AND HE FINALLY ESCAPES GRONK’S GRIP! OASIS FOLLOWS THAT WITH A FOREARM STRIKE THAT CATCHES GRONK OFF GUARD. HE KICKS HIM IN THE GUT AND LOCKS IN THE PUMPHANDLE AND PICKS GRONK UP!! WOW! SUCH POWER! OASIS HITS THE RELAPSE! COVER!

Referee: ONEE!! TWOO!!! TH-

Daniel Wilson: Gronk kicks out! Oasis immediately turns around Gronk for the ONE-LEGGED BOSTON CRAB ONCE AGAIN!! GRONK IS IN TROUBLE. Gronk somehow manages to turn the hold around and pushes Oasis away. Gronk gets back up to his feet and runs in BUT OASIS CATCHES HIM WITH A HEADBUTT! OASIS PICKS GRONK UP FOR A SEEK AND DESTROY! HE HITS IT!!! WOW!!

Mark Stephens: But Scott Oasis is out to make a statement. He forces Gronk back to his feet and lifts him up again. SEEK AND DESTROY!!!! COVER!!!!

Referee: ONEEEE!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOO!!!!

Referee: THREEEEEE!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“The Wreckoning” by Nonpoint hits the PA System again. The referee walks up to Oasis and raises his hand. Oasis rolls out of the ring and Jasmine Peyton joins up with her husband as they head to the ramp as Gronk slowly gets up and looks at Oasis from the ring in frustration and anger.)

Saya Takada: HERE IS YOUR WINNER... “THE ICE MAN”... SCCCOOTTTTTTT OAAAASIIIISSSS!!!!!

Mark Stephens: What a performance by Scott Oasis tonight! Who would have thought Gronk might be dominated in such fashion?

Daniel Wilson: I wouldn’t call it domination per say, but he certainly had a great showing against the big man. Scott Oasis is force to be reckoned with and he showed his dominance tonight. Scott Oasis leaving a dent in Phantom Troupe and they certainly haven’t been having the best of nights so far.

(Scott Oasis looks towards the victim of his dominance as he raises his hand up with Jasmine Peyton celebrating with her husband, right before he walks backstage with her by his side, as Gronk looks with fury towards his defeat. He rolls out of the ring and marches up the ramp in anger before he walks backstage with the ring having been cleared out.)

(“S.O.A.R.” by Devour The Day hits the speakers as Jacob Senn walks down the ramp with a smile on his face, wearing a black suit along with a red tie, as he makes his way down the ramp and enters the ring. He walks over towards Saya Takada to take the microphone from her hand as he makes his way to the center of the ring.)

Jacob Senn: SHIZOUKA STADIUM! Thank you for allowing us to have a spectacular event here in Shizouka and tonight, you have already seen some of the best wrestling that can be offered from the entire world. Places from America and England, all around the world, they have all been paying attention to this promotion and what we have to offer to the entire wrestling world. However, this has led some eyes to be watching very intently on the product that we have been in contract negotiations with over these past few weeks. Due to our partnership with Omega Wrestling Alliance in Budokai Tenkaichi, we have been introduced to one of the bright young talents of the promotion that has decided to sign a contract with Strong Style Wrestling! Right now, I would like to personally introduce this man to Strong Style Wrestling with the open arms of these fans. So, if you would please, join me in welcoming the newest member of the SSW roster…

(Jacob Senn motions his hand over towards the stage as he awaits the arrival of the newest signee… )

(“Charisma” by WASP plays with the crowd erupting in surprise upon the arrival of Christopher Sabertooth who steps out onto the stage with a smile on his face. He walks down the ramp and looks to make his entry into the ring as he walks towards the center to shake hands with Jacob Senn. Sabertooth takes the microphone from the chairman as he looks out to the stadium.)

Christopher Sabertooth: Jacob Senn, you’ve seen the light and have realized that the only REAL wrestler that you need on your roster is Christopher Sabertooth! I was denied the chance to be able to appear on Budokai Tenkaichi to see this firsthand and now that I am here, I know that this was meant to be. I know that I should have been in Strong Style Wrestling from day one because walking into this ring… I know that this is where I can be a champion. This is a place where the top wrestlers can prove who stands at the top and now, I know that a real wrestler shall rise to the top of this company. So, I want to thank Jacob Senn for personally welcoming me into the SSW roster and knowing that I’m the man that he needs to raise more stock into this company and bring more people into this federation!

Jacob Senn: You’ve been an impressive talent from what I’ve seen in Omega Wrestling Alliance, but the question that I have for you is one that I ask every roster member here in Strong Style Wrestling… what faction are you going to align with?

Christopher Sabertooth: A mighty fine question, Chairman. Who shall have the greatest example of what wrestling perfection is among their faction? Will it be The Phantom Troupe who has dominated in this company since its days of inception? How about the honorable Shoot Nation that stands for everything this company stands for? What about the all-inclusive Ronin that has made a recent rise as of late? What about the team with all the investors in Tres Comas Club? This is a very interesting choice, but I believe I have an ideal stable that will be just right for me.

Jacob Senn: Oh really?

Christopher Sabertooth: ABSOLUTELY! The faction I choose i--

Mark Stephens: HUH?! A ROGUE FAN HAS JUST RUSHED INTO THE RING AND ASSAULTED CHRIS SABERTOOTH FROM BEHIND WITH A STEEL CHAIR! Christopher collapses to the canvas with Jacob Senn shoving the stranger back, but he shoves Senn out of the way BEFORE RUSHING TOWARDS THE RISING SABERTOOTH! DOUBLE KNEE FACEBUSTER! THE STRANGER DROPS SABERTOOTH ON HIS KNEE WITH THE FACEBUSTER BEFORE ROLLING UP TO HIS KNEE! The random assailant walks over towards the microphone fallen on the canvas as he scoops the microphone up in his hand while he walks around the ring! He walks over squats down to where he bops him on the head before speaking!

???: The last real wrestler, huh? The man who believes in that big egotistical brain of his that he’s going to revitalize Strong Style Wrestling, right? That’s not going to happen, Sabertooth. All that pride and bluster that you have inside of you is nothing more than pride that shall be eradicated when I’m finished with you. You want to know who I am? Why I did this? Well, I’ll leave you with one of those things to ponder on. My name is Matthew and I represent Ronin in this large arena of fighters. This is a warning… don’t get in my way.

(Matthew stands up and taunts to the crowd before he exits through the middle rope, walking his way backstage with a smile on his face as Christopher Sabertooth is helped up by Jacob Senn, as Senn escorts Sabertooth out of the ring backstage. The ring area is vacated as the camera points towards the stage… )

Saya Takada: The following contest is scheduled for one fall AND IS A DEATHMATCH FOR THE SSW HERITAGE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

(“Big Bad Wolf” by In This Moment echoes throughout the arena as smoke spills out across the stage. Tarah Nova appears from the smoke with a sadistic smirk on her lips and her signature barbwired Baseball Bat resting on her shoulder. Tarah would look out at the crowd before lifting her bat off her shoulder to pointing it towards the crowd as she places her bat back on her shoulder. She would gracefully walk down the ramp as the crowd around her chants: ‘Arukushi ’ meaning the Walking Death. Slowly she walks off the steps in the left corner of the ring, and wipes her boots of on the side before entering the ring, Tarah leans in the corner of the ring, awaiting her opponent while Saya Takada makes the introduction.)

Saya Takada: Introducing the challenger, she is from Detroit, Michigan… she weighed in tonight at 118 pounds… she is the leader of the Ronin faction… “ARUKUSHI”... “THE SHOCKCOLLAR OF HARDCORE WRESTLING”... TAARRRAAAAHHHHH NOOVVVAAAAA!!!

Mark Stephens: Tarah Nova has been doing everything in her power to make it known that this night will be hers! She’s on her path towards being known as the next SSW Heritage Champion and now that’s it has been made a Deathmatch, Tarah can bring that violence that she has been known for to be able to claim the championship here tonight!

Daniel Wilson: The Phantom Troupe has already shown that their domination will not cease and here in this match, Tarah won’t have a chance to be able to stand up against the reigning champion because even though she might be a crazy woman, she doesn’t stand a chance!

(“Oculus Ex Inferni” by Symphony X blasts from the speakers with the entire Shizouka Stadium going dark with a sole spotlight being cast upon SSW Heritage Champion Khmaoch Sangkat standing out on the stage with the championship on his head. With a towel blanketed on the top of his head, Khmaoch starts pacing down the ramp towards the ring with a smile on his face as he climbs the steels steps and enters the ring while Saya Takada makes her introduction.)

Saya Takada: Introducing her opponent, he is from Prey Veng, Cambodia… he weighs in at 235 pounds… representing The Phantom Troupe… he is THE REIGNING SSW HERITAGE CHAMPION… “THE PHANTOM MENACE”... KHHMMMAAAOOOCCCCHHHHH SAANNNGGGGKKKAAAATTTT!!!

Daniel Wilson: The most domination champion of Strong Style Wrestling has made his way to Domination with 188 days reigning as the SSW Heritage Champion! He has defeated talents like Masanori Kawada and The Apparition to keep the championship in his possession for this long! With a match of these stipulations, I don’t believe that we will see Tarah Nova walking out of here tonight with the belt!

Mark Stephens: Don’t doubt what Tarah Nova can do in regards to a Deathmatch and with her lucky barbed-wire baseball bat in tow! This match could be one of the bloodiest battles that we have laid eyes upon, but there’s also a chance that The Phantom Menace himself runs right through the challenge that has been laid before him!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Mark Stephens: The bell has been sounded and this SSW Heritage Championship Deathmatch can begin WITH TARAH NOVA RUSHING IN AND DRIVING THE BASEBALL BAT RIGHT INTO THE STOMACH THAT SENDS THE CHAMPION COLLAPSING DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Tarah swings the bat around in her hand as she walks around to the fallen champion BLASTING THE BARBED-WIRE BASEBALL RIGHT ONTO THE LOWER SPINE OF KHMAOCH WITH HIS BACK ARCHED FROM THE PAIN! Tarah isn’t showing any mercy in this championship opportunity that has been gifted to her and she shows this by placing the baseball bat on the face of Khmaoch PULLING BACK AS SHE GRINDS THE BARBED-WIRE ON HIS FACE WHILE THE CHAMPION REACHES OUT IN PAIN FROM IT SLICING HIS FACE! ALREADY YOU COULD SEE BLOOD START TO TRICKLE DOWN THE FACE OF THE CHAMPION WHILE HE TRIES TO FIND A WAY OUT OF THIS! Khmaoch starts to push his way up to his feet while Tarah keeps the pressure of the baseball bat on him BUT KHMAOCH IS ON HIS FEET WITH TARAH ON HIS BACK! Khmaoch runs back SLAMMING TARAH INTO THE TURNBUCKLE BEFORE HE WALKS OUT OF THE CORNER TO GAIN HIS BEARINGS! The blood is smearing on his face as Khmaoch sits up looking around the ring BUT TARAH RUSHES FROM BEHIND TO GRAB HIM FOR THE KILLJOY BUZZER!

Daniel Wilson: OH MY! WHAT A SICKENING HEABUTT! Tarah Nova went for the wristlock into the open palm strike, but Khmaoch Sangkat responded with a brutal headbutt that could be heard throughout the entire arena! The blood from his forehead stains Tarah’s as he hooks her in by the neck LIFTING HER UP HIGH FOR THE BRAINBUSTER! THE CHAMPION HAS JUST SPIKED TARAH’S HEAD ON THE CANVAS BEFORE HE FINDS HIS WAY BACK ONTO HIS FEET! A scowl covered his entire face to join the blood that has painted it as he rolls outside of the ring! Tarah’s rolling around the ring as she’s feeling the effects of her head bouncing like a basketball from that brainbuster while Khmaoch looked under the ring PULLING OUT A TABLE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE BEFORE HE SLID IT BACK INTO THE RING WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE! Tarah starts pick herself up to her feet when Khmaoch slides into the ring RUNNING IN TO STRIKE WITH A PUNT KICK RIGHT TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD THAT SENDS HER SLUMPING DOWN TO CANVAS! Khmaoch returns over towards the table and lifts it off the canvas, setting up in the center of the ring, all while Tarah is recovering from that devastating punt kick! I don’t think that this match is going last much longer if Khmaoch does what he intends to do with that table! Khmaoch pulls the table over towards the turnbuckle before he returns to Tarah STOMPING HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD BEFORE HE BRINGS HER OVER TOWARDS THE TABLE!

Mark Stephens: Khmaoch Sangkat throws Tarah Nova into the corner before he starts wailing into her with chops before spinning her around and climbing up to the top of the turnbuckle! He hooks her between his legs as he looks down LEAPING OFF THE TURNBUCKLE TO PLANT THE KAPOK TREE WITH TARAH INTO THE TABLE! OH MY GOODNESS! THE TABLE HAS BEEN SHATTERED UNDERNEATH THE WEIGHT OF THOSE TO WITH TARAH’S HEAD SLAMMING INTO THE CANVAS ONCE MORE! THE CHAMPION ROLLS THE CHALLENGER ON HER SHOULDERS FOR THE PIN THAT COULD VERY WELL END THIS MATCH!

Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!... THHHRRREEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Oculus Ex Inferni” by Symphony X plays in the background with Khmaoch Sangkat lifting his hands high in the air as the referee hands him the SSW Heritage Championship.)

Saya Takada: Here is your winner… AND STILL THE SSW HERITAGE CHAMPION… KHHMMMAAAOOOCCCCHHHHH SAANNNGGGKKKAAAATTTTT!!!

Mark Stephens: THE DOMINANCE OF THE PHANTOM MENACE CONTINUES WITH KHMAOCH SANGKAT REMAINING YOUR SSW HERITAGE CHAMPION! Khmaoch had made short work of the leader of Ronin and I was of the belief that she would be walking out of here a proud champion!

Daniel Wilson: Well, like all the time, you were WRONG! Khmaoch Sangkat is an unstoppable force in The Phantom Troupe that will remain at the top of the mountain with no trouble whatsoever! I would say that Tarah gave her best shot, but let’s be honest, Khmaoch was just on another level here tonight!

(Khmaoch Sangkat throws the SSW Heritage Championship on his shoulder as he rolls out of the ring with pride on his face. He wipes his face from the blood that was made from that bat, laughing at the fact that he was made to bleed, as he walks towards the backstage area. Tarah Nova is helped out of the ring by The Young Lions, holding her neck from the piledriver into the table, carried backstage to possibly get some medical attention. Once the ring has been cleared, the camera points up to the titantron… )

Saya Takada: The following contest scheduled for one fall!!!

(“Party Girl” by McFly echoes throughout the arena with the crowd erupting in cheers upon the arrival of Belle Kingsley rushing out towards the stage with a smile on her face. She holds her hands up and points to the crowd with that smile, walking down the ramp and taking a moment with the fans in attendance, before climbing up the steel steps to the turnbuckle right before Saya Takada makes her introduction.)

Saya Takada: Introducing first, she is from Cardiff, Wales… she weighs in at 120 pounds… representing Shoot Nation… “THE BELLE OF THE BALL”... BEELLLLLLLEEEEE KIINNNGGGSSSLLLEEEEYYYYY!!!

Mark Stephens: Belle Kingsley has been doing everything in her power to make sure that she could be able to represent Shoot Nation to the best of her abilities, has completed multiple times for the prestigious SSW Freebird Tag Team Championships, but has found her way in the crosshairs of another bright star that has decided to make her a target! Belle has been insulted and disrespected long enough and now, has the opportunity for redemption!

Daniel Wilson: Belle Kingsley has been an enormous failure since she has been in Strong Style Wrestling! She has been handed opportunity after opportunity to prove herself to this place and what has she done? She failed to become champion, she has been on the receiving side of assaults, and now she’s about to get met with the bitter pill of humiliation and defeat that shall come from this match!

(“Boombayah” by BLACKPINK hits the speakers as Kikyo Himura walks down the ramp as a devious smiles takes hold upon her face. She looks out towards the crowd with an arrogant sneer to follow before she struts down the ramp, sticking her nose up towards everyone in attendance, as she enters the ring staring at her opponent.)

Saya Takada: Introducing her opponent, she is from Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan… weighing in at 128 pounds… representing Ronin… “THE SCARLET FLAME”... KIIKKKYYYYOOOOO HIIMMMUUURRRRAAAAA!!!

Daniel Wilson: You want to talk about a bright star in Belle Kingsley BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SEARING FLAME OF KIKYO HIMURA! Even through the defeat that she suffered at the hands of Vanessa Santiago, she has left her scorched mark upon Strong Style Wrestling with how she made sure to leave her broken and helpless by her hand! Kikyo is walking into this match with everything going her way and right now, I would be worried if I was Belle!

Mark Stephens: Kikyo has made it known that not only does she want to protect the family lineage that she comes from, but she wants to be able to exceed that inside of Strong Style Wrestling by creating her own legacy! With the way that she has been able to do that, I don’t know whether to be proud that she has been able to push forward in this company or to be disgusted with how she has done so!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Mark Stephens: This grudge match has been called to start with Belle Kingsley and Kikyo Himura both prepared to go to war with each other, Kikyo already showcasing that confidence with her brash trash talk directed towards Belle, who just stands there and takes it. Kikyo walks forward to her face with the talk as she starts pushing on her forehead about how dense Belle is for believing she stands a chance BUT BELLE FIRES WITH AN ELBOW STRIKE RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF KIKYO! Kikyo reels back from the blow with Belle rushing towards the ropes for the rebound RETURNING FOR A SLINGBLADE! KNEE STRIKE! KIKYO FIRES WITH A KNEE STRIKE THAT STUNS BELLE RIGHT BEFORE THE SCARLET FLAME PULLS HER IN FOR A SIDE-HEADLOCK! Kikyo starts to shake her head while wrenching down on the neck of Belle BUT BELLE HAS THE SPIRIT OF A FIGHTER AS SHE SHOVES KIKYO RIGHT INTO THE ROPES! Kikyo bounces off the ropes RETURNING WITH A BIG BOOT THAT DROPS BELLE STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE CANVAS AS SHE HOLDS HER CHIN FROM THE IMPACT! Kikyo starts walking around the ring MAKING TARGETED SHOTS WITH HER KICKS ONTO THE NECK AND BACK OF BELLE WHILE SCREAMING INSULTS TOWARDS HER! Kikyo rushes back into the ropes once more to gain momentum COMING IN WITH A LOW DROPKICK TO BELLE’S JAW! Kikyo has been in full control of this match and doesn’t look like she will be letting up anytime soon while she takes a moment to rile up the crowd in attendance here at Shizouka Stadium!

Daniel Wilson: She’s proving here in this match that her legacy merits the confidence that she has that she will become one of the top champions here in Strong Style Wrestling and with a victory tonight, she would make that statement closer to being legitimate! Kikyo Himura crouches down and starts taunting her about fighting RIGHT BEFORE SHE SLAPS HER IN THE FACE AND RUSHES BACK INTO THE ROPES! Kikyo rebounds off the ropes BUT BELLE LEAPS UP ON HER FEET AND HOOKS HER IN FOR AN ARM DRAG THAT THROWS HER CLEAR ACROSS THE RING! BELLE COULD HAVE SOMETHING HERE! Kikyo rolls up to her feet while Belle has already reached hers HOOKING HIMURA IN FOR THE JAPANESE ARM DRAG! Belle kips up as she’s fired up while waiting for Kikyo to get to her feet SPINNING AROUND FOR A ROLLING ENZIGURI RIGHT INTO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! KIKYO COLLAPSES TO THE CANVAS, BUT BELLE IS FAR FROM FINISHED WITH THE SCARLET FLAME! Belle stands over towards the turnbuckle and crouches down to await Kikyo to make her way to her feet LOOKING FOR WHAT COULD BE A FEVER DREAM! Kikyo pushes onto the canvas to attempt to find her footing before he turns around WITH BELLE SPRINTING IN FOR THE KILL! YES!

Mark Stephens: NO! BLOOD LETTER! KIKYO HIMURA CONNECTS WITH A ROLLING SOLE BUTT KICK TO THE STOMACH OF BELLE KINGSLEY ON HER PATH TOWARDS HER FOR THE FEVER DREAM! Kikyo quicky rolls behind Belle and hooks her around the waist THROWING HER BACK WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! BELLE LANDS RIGHT ON HER NECK AND BACK FROM THE SUPLEX WHILE KIKYO STANDS BACK TO HER FEET WITH GLEAMING PRIDE, BRUSHING HER HANDS OFF, ALL WHILE SHE STRUTS ACROSS THE RING! Belle rolls her way over towards the turnbuckle with Kikyo turning towards it waiting for her to stand AS HE SPRINTS IN FOR A CORNER DROPKICK! HOLD UP! BELLE DUCKS DOWN AND CATCHES KIKYO TO THROW HER OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ONTO THE FLOOR! NOPE! KIKYO CATCHES HERSELF ON THE TOP ROPE AND GRABS BELLE BY THE HAIR! The referee starts telling Kikyo to release her hair BUT SHE DRIVES BELLE’S HEAD INTO THE TURNBUCKLE RIGHT BEFORE SHE COLLAPSES TO THE CANVAS! Kikyo drops down to the floor and grabs Belle by the arm as she drapes it off the ring apron SLAMMING IT ONTO IT RIGHT BEFORE SHE DRIVES IT INTO THE RING POST! MY GOODNESS, THE VIOLENCE COMING FROM KIKYO IN THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE!

Daniel Wilson: She’s doing whatever it takes to make sure that she walks away here tonight with a victory to her name, Mark! Belle Kingsley cradles that arm as she crawls towards the center of the ring BUT KIKYO HIMURA SPRINTS BACK TO HER TO BE ABLE TO STOMP HER ON THE SPINE! Kikyo drops down and grabs the targeted arm LOCKING HER INTO THE INFINITE FLAME! THE ARM-TRAP CROSSFACE HAS BEEN APPLIED WITH BELLE NOW SCREAMING IN PAIN LIKE A BANSHEE! She’s reaching out with her free arm and her leg out towards the ropes, but it’s all to no avail right now with Kikyo stopping her at the perfect position for the submission, rearing back on the Infinite Flame submission as much as possible! Kikyo keeps this submission in tight WITH BELLE REACHING UP INTO THE AIR AS IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S ABOUT TO SUBMIT! SHE… SHE… SHE PUSHES DOWN ON THE CANVAS TO PUSH KIKYO DOWN ON HER SHOULDERS AS BELLE HOLDS HER DOWN FOR THE ROLL-UP!

Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!...

Mark Stephens: KIKYO HIMURA SAVES HER CHANCES IN THIS MATCH WITH THE KICK OUT WHILE BELLE KINGSLEY CONTINUES TO HOLD THE ARM FROM THE ABUSE IT HAS SUSTAINED! Kikyo rolls herself back to her feet WITH BELLE TAKING THE CHANCE BY RUNNING THROUGH FOR THE SLINGBLADE! WAIT, KIKYO GRABS HER BY THE INJURED ARM AND SLAMS IT DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! BELLE IS WRITHING AROUND THE RING IN PAIN AS SHE ROLLS TOWARDS THE TURNBUCKLE WITH KIKYO LAUGHING AT KINGSLEY’S AGONY! Kikyo looks towards the Shizouka crowd as she starts to call for the end RUSHING IN FOR A LOW DROPKICK INTO BELLE THAT BOUNCES HER HEAD OFF OF THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE! Kikyo grabs Belle to drag her out of the corner LIFTING HER UP FOR WHAT COULD BE A SCARLET FLAME TO TAKE THIS VICTORY ALL THE WAY! OH MY! BELLE SPINS AROUND AND IS ABLE TO CAPTURE KIKYO INTO A TILT-A-WHIRL HURRICANRANA THAT SENDS HIMURA DOWN TO THE CANVAS! WHAT AN AMAZING COUNTER RIGHT THERE! Belle finds her way back to her feet with Kikyo rolling to be able to push herself up as she turns around RIGHT INTO A SLINGBLADE FROM BELLE! BELLE COULD BE LOOKING FOR A SECOND WIND IN THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE!

Daniel Wilson: I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT I’M SEEING RIGHT HERE FROM BELLE KINGSLEY! KIKYO HIMURA NEEDS TO SNAP OUT OF THIS IF SHE WANTS TO TAKE HER MOMENT IN HER HANDS HERE AT DOMINATION! Belle stands up and looks down upon Kikyo while she tries to get back to her feet RUSHING TOWARDS THE ROPES FOR THE HANDSPRING AS SHE BOUNCES BACK! FATEFUL FALL! KIKYO IS CAUGHT WITH THE HANDSPRING CUTTER FROM BELLE THAT DROPS HER DEAD INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING! BELLE DROPS DOWN AND ROLLS KIKYO ON HER SHOULDERS… BUT SHE’S NOT FINISHED YET? WHAT’S SHE DOING? She looks over towards the turnbuckle and looks down towards Kikyo STOMPING IN HER CHEST BEFORE SHE WALKS OVER TOWARDS THE TURNBUCKLE TO CLIMB TOWARDS THE TOP! The fans are rabid as she makes her way to the top as she looks down RIGHT BEFORE FLIPPING BACK FOR THE BELLE CURVE! THE DIVING MOONSAULT INTO THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP INTO THE CHEST OF KIKYO THAT COULD HAVE TAKEN THE BREATH OF ANY PERSON IN ATTENDANCE! BELLE INSTANTLY RUSHES BACK TOWARDS KIKYO TO DROP DOWN AND HOOK HER LEG IN FOR THE PIN!

Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!... THHHRRREEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Party Girl” by McFly plays in the background with Belle Kingsley raising her hand in the air in the victory, still holding her injured arm close to her chest, as the fans applaud her for her victory.)

Saya Takada: Here is your winner… BEELLLLLLLEEEEE KIINNNGGGSSSLLLEEEEYYYYY!!!

Mark Stephens: BELLE KINGSLEY HAS DONE IT! After all that Kikyo Himura had not only said, but done to her on the road to Domination, Belle has ended this match with a victory attached to her name at one of our biggest events of the year! If I have to say one thing about this, Belle has definitely proven that she has the fight to represent Shoot Nation proudly!

Daniel Wilson: Kikyo Himura brought a vicious fight here tonight against Belle Kingsley though, Mark! She was on the very cusp of being having that victory attached to her name, but at the end of the night, Belle was able to find a miraculous opening to secure victory here tonight on such a grand stage! Even though I was rooting for The Scarlet Flame, congratulations for her!

(Kikyo Himura rolls out of the ring, holding her head and stomach, screaming with a tantrum towards her defeat while Belle Kingsley celebrates on the turnbuckle! Kikyo makes her exit backstage with Belle rolling outside and celebrating with the fans over this victory! She finally makes it to the stage to give one more celebration before making her exit backstage… )

(https://i.imgur.com/78rmhrY.png)

(A video package recaps the Stark vs Jacob Senn feud, starting from their first encounter on SSW TV, to their brutal match at Supremacy. The video then transitions to Stark betraying and attacking Brian Daniels at Budokai Tenkaichi, before cutting to Jacob Senn’s return. The following weeks of build up for this Three Stages of Hell are recapped, before the video abruptly ends and the camera pans to the ring, where Saya Takada is standing by in front of a hyped up crowd.)

Saya Takada: The following contest is a THREE STAGES OF HELL MATCH!!!!... The first fall will be contested under First Blood rules! The second fall will be contested inside of a Steel Cage! And if both competitors manage to survive until the third round… THE CONTEST WILL BE SETTLED UNDER FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE RULES!!!!... AND THE LAST MAN STANDING WILL BE DECLARED THE CHAIRMAN OF SSW!!!!!!

(“S.O.A.R” by Devour the Day hits to a standing ovation from the crowd as Jacob Senn walks down to the ring, throwing up the Iconic gesture before entering the ring and taking in the crowd.)

Saya Takada: Introducing first, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 218 pounds… THE PUNISHER!!!!!!... JACOOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBBB SEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!

Stephens: I’m struggling to think of a single more heated feud in SSW! What started as a challenge to a friendly exhibition match from Stark has devolved into this utter deathmatch! From their egos to their bodies, everything is on the line here… but for this man Jacob Senn, who has lost and suffered on his quest back to the top, in his quest to make Strong Style Wrestling the greatest company on this planet… he stands ready to do battle with Stark, who is now trying to take that away from Senn too!

(“Blue Bird” by Ikimono Gakari hits to a downpour of boos causing an audible rumble throughout the crowd as Stark walks out through the curtain and walks down to the ring. Stark stares down Senn and starts to taunt him, causing Senn to move up to get in his face. The referee quickly separates the two and pushes them to their corners.)

Saya Takada: And his opponent, from New York City, weighing in at 210 pounds… THE PSYCHEDELIC ASSASSIN!!!!!…. STTTAAAAARRRRRRRRKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wilson: This is going to sound crazy coming from me considering how much I love the Phantom Troupe and all that but - good lord, I do NOT want this guy as Chairman. I’ve never seen someone like Stark fall off the deep end so far, but some men will show their true colors when it comes to their ego! I just have a feeling that whatever happens in this match, nobody's walking out of it the same…

(The camera pans to Stark and Senn staring down while the referee calls for the bell.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephens: THIS FIGHT IS UNDERWAY!!!! FIRST BLOOD RULES FOR THIS MATCH --- AND BOTH MEN HAVE ALREADY LEAPED ACROSS THE RING TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE!!!! STARK THROWS THE FIRST PUNCH WILDLY AT SENN’S FACE, BUT SENN SIDE STEPS FOR THE DODGE AND GRABS STARK’S ARM, PULLING HIM IN FOR AN ELBOW SMASH TO THE FACE!!!! SENN SHOVES STARK BACK AND LANDS A PUNCH STRAIGHT ON THE SIDE OF THE FACE BUT STARK SWINGS RIGHT BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN!!!!

Wilson: STARK JABS AT THE NOSE BUT SENN DROPS BACK WITH THE MATRIX EVASION BEFORE COMING BACK WITH THE UPPERCUT -- STARK BLOCKS IT AND JUMPS UP WITH THE KNEE AT SENN -- THAT IS ALSO BLOCKED BY SENN WHO THROWS ANOTHER PUNCH STARK’S WAY!!! STARK CATCHES THAT SHOT WITH BOTH HANDS BUT THAT JUST LEAVES HIM WIDE OPEN FOR SENN WHO FIRES WITH ANOTHER -- STARK GOES LOW AND HOLDS ONTO SENN’S ARM BEFORE THROWING HIM INTO THE ROPES!!!!

Stephens: HOLD ON!!!! THAT MIGHT HAVE JUST WORKED TO SENN’S ADVANTAGE THERE!!! SENN COMES OFF FAST FROM THE ROPES JUMPING UP HIGH… FOREARM SMASH!!!! STARK PICKS HIS ARM UP TO BLOCK THAT FOREARM FROM SMASHING INTO HIS NOSE, BUT THE FORCE OF THAT MOVE STILL SENDS HIM TO THE GROUND!!!! SENN GOES STRAIGHT FOR A KICK TO STARK’S FACE BUT STARK DROPS HIS BACK TO THE MAT AND KIPS UP TO HIS FEET NEXT TO SENN --- BACKHAND!!!!

Wilson: SENN SWINGS AND CATCHES STARK WITH THE BACKHAND ACROSS THE FACE!!!!! THAT SEEMS TO HAVE ONLY CAUGHT HIM UNDER THE EYE -- OH!!!! ANOTHER JAB TO THE JAW!!!! STARK STAGGERS BACK AND SENN COMES UP AGAIN -- STARK SWINGS FORWARD WITH THE HEADBUTT, BUT SENN SIDE STEPS IT AGAIN AND SLAPS STARK AWAY BEFORE SWINGING WITH ANOTHER PUNCH --- STARK TURNED BEFORE THAT SHOT LANDED AND CLIPS SENN ACROSS THE FACE WITH A BRUTAL PUNCH!!!! HE MIGHT HAVE JUST KNOCKED HIS LIGHTS OUT THERE AS SENN DAMN NEAR DROPS TO THE MAT!!!!!

Stephens: STARK ZOOMS ACROSS THE RING TO THE ROPES COMING OFF WITH SPEED FOR THE RASEN SHURIKEN --- SENN IS ON HIS FEET!!!! SENN LEAPS HIGH, CLEARING MORE THAN SIX FEET OF AIR AS STARK RUNS RIGHT UNDER HIM!!!! SENN LANDS ON HIS FEET AND LUNGES FORWARD TO GRAB STARK BY HIS HAIR, PULLING HIM BACK INTO A REVERSE EXPLODER SUPLEX!!!!! STARK GETS DROPPED --- NO!!!! STARK FLIPS BACK TO FIND HIS WAY TO HIS FEET WHILE SENN TURNS AROUND --- SUPERKICK!!!!!!! NO!!!! SENN’S GOT THE LEG, SPINNING STARK AROUND… AND SENN FINDS HIS OPENING!!!! SPINNING BACKFIST TO THE NOSE!!!! BLOOD JUST WENT FLYING OUT OF STARK’S NOSE AS HE FALLS TO THE MAT!!!! THE FIRST FALL GOES TO JACOB SENN!!!!!

Saya Takada: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THE FIRST FALL BY WAY OF FIRST BLOOD… JACOB SENN!!!!!!!

(The crowd pops huge as Jacob Senn stands tall. The referee goes down to check on Stark as the steel cage begins to lower.)

Wilson: WAIT!!!! STARK JUST SHOVED THAT REFEREE OUT OF THE WAY AND POPS UP WITH A HUGE UPPERCUT TO THE UNSUSPECTING JACOB SENN!!!! SENN GOES LOOPY AND STARK SUPERKICKS HIM INTO THE ROPES!!!!! SENN FALLS BACK AGAINST THE ROPES --- OH MY GOD!!!!! STARK IS HOLDING SENN IN PLACE WITH HIS NECK PUSHED OVER THE TOP ROPE RIGHT ABOVE THE APRON!!!!! THAT STEEL CAGE IS STILL SLOWLY COMING DOWN!!!!... IS STARK TRYING TO DECAPITATE THE CHAIRMAN HERE?!!!

Stephens: LOOKS LIKE IT!!!!! THAT CAGE IS JUST A FOOT… NOW INCHES… JUST BARELY CENTIMETERS ABOVE HIM!!!!... OH NO --- YES!!!! SENN COMES BACK TO LIFE!!!! A HUGE HEADBUTT TO THE ALREADY TENDERIZED NOSE OF STARK DROPS HIM BACK ON HIS ASS AND SENN GETS BACK TO SAFETY!!!!! You can see the look in Senn’s eyes, realizing that this means as much to Stark as it does to him… That fistfight at the start was clearly child’s play when compared to what’s bound to come next… BUT THAT’S EXACTLY WHY SENN CAN’T WASTE ANYMORE TIME!!!! SENN RUSHES FOR STARK --- STARK ROLLS THROUGH TOWARDS HIM WITH THE LEG SWEEP!!!! STARK KIPS UP -- BUT SO DOES SENN!!!!! BOTH MEN BACK ON THEIR FEET, FACE TO FACE -- STARK THROWS THE FIRST PUNCH CLIPPING SENN IN THE MOUTH BUT SENN TAKES A STEP BACK WIPING OFF THE BLOOD BEFORE SLAPPING STARK’S SOUL OUT OF HIS BODY!!!!!

Wilson: SENN COMES FORWARD WITH THE SOCCER KICK CATCHING STARK ON THE CHIN AND PUTTING HIM FLAT ON HIS BACK ON THE MAT!!!! SENN GOES DOWN TO PIN STARK’S NECK TO THE MAT BEFORE LAYING IN WITH STIFF PUNCH AFTER STIFF PUNCH, IT’S LOOKING LIKE STARK’S EYE IS ONE PUNCH AWAY FROM BEING SWOLLEN SHUT -- HE KNOWS THAT TOO!!!! STARK SWIFTLY SWINGS HIS HEAD TO THE SIDE AS SENN’S FIST DAMN NEAR GOES THROUGH THE CANVAS AFTER COLLIDING WITH THE MAT, BUT STARK FINDS HIS OPENING!!!! STARK ROLLS OVER TO THE CAGE WALLS WHILE SENN STANDS UP TO HIS FEET, VIOLENT INTENTIONS IN HIS EYES… AND SENN RUNS AT STARK!!!!

Stephens: Stark sees it coming and side steps to the right… SENN HAD IT CALCULATED!!!! SENN JUMPS UP TO THE TOP ROPE AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF AIMED RIGHT AT STARK… THE HIGH KNEE!!!!!! NO!!!! STARK DUCKS IT JUST IN TIME SENDING SENN CRASHING TO THE MAT!!!! Senn finds the ropes to pull himself up BUT STARK IS ALREADY UP ON THE TOP ROPE AND FLYING AT SENN NOW TRYING TO GIVE HIM A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE!!!! SENN LUNGES FORWARD ATTEMPTING A COUNTER BUT STARK EXECUTES A BEAUTIFUL TWIST IN THE AIR TO FIND A POSITION WHERE HE WRAPS HIS ARM AROUND SENN’S NECK… SPINNING AND TWISTING HIM BEFORE SPIKING HIS HEAD TO THE MAT WITH THE STARKNADOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Wilson: STARK ROLLS BACK UP TO HIS FEET BUT NEARLY FALLS BACK DOWN, BLOOD GUSHING OUT OF HIS NOSE!!!! The referee comes up to check on Stark who has now fallen to his knees, trying to power his way to his feet… BUT STARK GRABS THE REFEREE BY THE COLLAR AND THROWS HIM TOWARDS JACOB SENN, WHO CATCHES THE STUNNED REF --- BUT LOOK AT STARK!!!! HE’S ALREADY CLIMBED HALFWAY UP THE CAGE!!!!! STARK IS NEARLY HOME FREE AS HE JUST BARELY REACHES THE TOP…

Stephens: JACOB SENN IS RIGHT ON HIS TAIL!!!! SENN IS UP ON THE TOP ROPE GRABBING AT STARK’S LEG WITH BOTH HANDS… AND SENN JUMPS BACK PULLING STARK ALL THE WAY OFF THE TOP OF THE CAGE DROPPING HIM DAMN NEAR TWELVE FEET TO THE CANVAS!!!! STARK MANAGES TO TAKE THE BRUNT OF THE IMPACT ON HIS ARMS BUT THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY A FALL LIKE THAT ISN’T GOING TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE DEATH!!!! Stark tries to push himself up -- ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DENIED BY JACOB SENN WHO STOMPS DOWN STRAIGHT ON HIS CHEST, PRESSING HIS BOOT AS FAR DEEP INTO STARK’S SKIN AS HE CAN!!!! STARK IS SCREAMING FOR HELP STRUGGLING TO BREATHE BUT THERE’S NO WAY SENN CAN RELENT HERE!!!!

Wilson: HOW ARE YOU GOING TO JUSTIFY A CHAIRMAN TRYING TO MURDER ONE OF HIS OWN SUPERSTARS?!!!

Stephens: HOW MANY CHAIRMEN HAS THIS MAN TRIED TO MURDER HIMSELF? IT’S CALLED KARMA!!!! SENN FINALLY PICKS HIS BOOT UP ONLY TO BRING IT BACK DOWN ON STARK’S RIGHT ARM!!!! REMEMBER BACK AT SUPREMACY, STARK TANKED A SHADOW STEP ON THAT ELBOW OVER A CHAIR, AND ALTHOUGH HE DIDN’T DISCLOSE THE RESULTS OF THOSE INJURY, HIS VISCERAL SCREAMS ARE PAINTING THE WHOLE PICTURE RIGHT HERE. SENN GRABS STARK AROUND THE NECK AND YANKS HIM UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE THROWING HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE CAGE WALL, GRABBING HIM BY THE HAIR TO YANK HIM BACK INTO THE INVERTED DDT!!!! THE PUNISHER HAS TRULY BEEN UNLEASHED HERE TONIGHT!!!!

Wilson: STARK HAS NO IDEA WHERE HE IS - NOT A FOREIGN FEELING TO THE MAN BUT IT’S DIFFERENT WHEN YOU’RE GETTING YOUR HEAD PUMMELED IN!!! Senn sees Stark in this vulnerable state… AND MOVES FORWARD FOR THE SHADOW STEP!!!! STARK LUNGES WITH HIS LEFT ARM TO GRAB SENN’S ANKLE BUT THE PUNISHER SAW IT COMING, PLANTING HIS LEFT LEG ON THE MAT BEFORE JUMPING UP WITH THE RIGHT!!!! NO -- STARK HAS HIM EXACTLY WHERE HE WANTS HIM!!!!! STARK USES WHAT’S LEFT OF HIS RIGHT HAND TO GRAB SENN’S LEG AND DROP HIM TO THE MAT ON HIS BACK!!!! STARK ROLLS AWAY TO THE CELL WALL, SLOWLY PICKING HIMSELF UP, ROPE BY ROPE… BUT JACOB SENN IS ALREADY BACK UP ON HIS FEET!!!!!

Stephens: STARK DID THIS TO HIMSELF!!! THERE’S ONLY SO MANY TIMES YOU CAN MESS WITH A MAN’S LIFE’S WORK BEFORE HE SNAPS!!!! STARK IS UP ON AN EXTREMELY WOBBLY VERTICAL BASE AND SENN RUNS FORWARD --- IT WAS A FEINT!!!! STARK FELL FOR IT, DODGING OUT OF THE WAY BUT FALLING TO THE MAT!!!! SENN NOW RUSHES TO THE ROPES FOR MOMENTUM READY TO PERHAPS CATCH STARK… IN THE SHADOW STEP!!!! HOW??!?!?! STARK FINDS THE WHEREWITHAL TO ROLL JUST A FEW INCHES OUT OF THE WAY AND PUSH HIMSELF UP TO HIS KNEES!!!!

Wilson: HOLD ON!!!! SENN FINDS HIS FOOTING AND CONTINUES TO THE ROPES, SPRINGBOARDING OFF OF THE SECOND ONE… AND FLIPPING BACK FOR A BEAUTIFUL FUCKING PELE KICK!!!!! SENN CATCHES STARK ON THE TOP OF THE HEAD SENDING HIS HEAD CRASHING BACK DOWN TO THE MAT!!!!!! SENN FALLS ON TOP OF STARK AND HOOKS THE LEG!!!!!

Referee: ONE!!!!!!..... TWO!!!!!!!.... THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!.....

Stephens: STARK MANAGES TO JUST BARELY THROW HIS SHOULDER UP A MICROSECOND BEFORE THAT 3 COUNT, GOOD LORD!!! You can tell from the look in Senn’s eyes that he knows that wasn’t going to be enough, but still, forcing your opponent to kick off a weight more than 200 pounds after taking the kind of beating Stark just took is going to be VERY taxing. Stark is trying to find his way to the cage wall again… BUT SENN STOMPS DOWN ON THE BACK OF STARK’S LEG AND REACHES DOWN TO GRAB HIM -- BUT STARK USES HIS OTHER LEG TO KICK HIM AWAY AND CREATE SEPARATION!!!! STARK AGAIN CRAWLS FOR THE ROPES… BUT SENN IS BACK ON HIM -- THIS TIME STARK PULLS HIM UP -- ONLY FOR SENN TO NAIL STARK WITH A BACKHAND SO HARD THAT IT SENDS HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE CORNER!!!!!

Wilson: Stark has slumped down into a seated position in the corner as Senn backs up to his, measuring Stark up… AND SENN MOVES!!!! GOING UP HIGH… LOOK AT THE HANG TIME!!!! SENN LANDS THAT PERFECT HESITATION DROPKICK STRAIGHT ONTO STARK’S CHEST CAUSING HIS HEAD TO BOUNCE BACK OFF OF THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE!!!! SENN PICKS STARK UP TO HIS FEET NOW AND RAISES HIM UP HIGH IN VERTICAL SUPLEX POSITION… JESUS CHRIST!!!! STARK JUST RAKED THE EYES!!!! NOT ONLY THAT, HE JUST JAMMED HIS THUMB INTO SENN’S LEFT EYE!!!! SENN SCREAMS IN VISCERAL HORROR DROPPING STARK BEFORE FALLING TO THE MAT, CLUTCHING HIS EYE AS HE WRITHES IN PAIN!!!!!

Stephens: Stark on the other hand has fallen back to his knees on the mat, but he’s not looking so good either, struggling to get back on his feet while Senn fortunately looks like he didn’t sustain much damage from that shot, but that eye is shut closed from the shock, hopefully it recovers soon in the Chairman’s favor here… BUT HE IS TRULY A SOLDIER NONETHELESS, PUSHING HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE STARK CAN!!!! THIS IS WHERE TRUE RESOLVE OUTPOWERS CHEAP TRICKS, AND STARK IS LOOKING COMPLETELY OUTCLASSED HERE!!! Stark tries to push himself up to his feet -- SENN SWINGS STRAIGHT FOR THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD --- BUT STARK CATCHES THE WRIST!!!!!

Wilson: STARK PULLS SENN IN… HEADBUTT TO THE GUT!!!!! STARK MAINTAINS HIS HOLD ON THE WRIST AND POPS UP FOR THE UPPERCUT TO STUN SENN BEFORE PULLING HIM INTO THE RIPCORD HIGH KNEE!!!! STARK HOLDS ONTO THE WRIST AS HE FINALLY FINDS SENN IN A VULNERABLE POSITION -- ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE FACE!!!!! SENN GOES DOWN TO HIS KNEES AND STARK TAKES OFF FOR THE ROPES COMING BACK WITH EVERYTHING HE HAS!!!!!..... RASEN SHURIKEN!!!!!!!!!!!

Stephens: YES!!!! SENN HOOKS STARK AROUND THE KNEE AND LIFTS HIM UP -- BUT AGAIN!!!! STARK GOES FOR THE EYES!!!! THIS TIME SENN DROPS HIM BEFORE STARK MAKES CONTACT BUT STARK THROWS A STRAIGHT FIST CATCHING SENN RIGHT ON THE ORBITAL!!!! STARK FIRES ANOTHER PUNCH THIS TIME LANDING FLAT OVER SENN’S LEFT EYE, THE SAME ONE THAT JUST HAD A THUMB IN IT THREE MINUTES AGO!!!! SENN IS STUNNED IN PLACE AND STARK COMES OFF OF THE ROPES ONE MORE TIME GOING HIGH!!!!... RASENGAN!!!!!! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH NAILS SENN AGAIN OVER THE LEFT EYE AND THE PUNISHER GOES DOWN TO THE MAT!!!!!

Wilson: STARK FALLS BACK INTO THE ROPES, NOT OPTING TO MAKE THE COVER… HE’S GOING FOR THE CLIMB!!!! STARK IS CLIMBING UP THE CAGE WALL RUNG BY RUNG WHILE JACOB SENN FINALLY STARTS TO COME TO… BUT STARK IS ALREADY HALFWAY UP THE CAGE!!!!! SENN IS UP TO HIS FEET NOW AS STARK DAMN NEAR REACHES THE TOP… SENN GOES RIGHT FOR THE TURNBUCKLES AND PULLS HIMSELF UP TO THE TOP OF THE CAGE IN ONE FLUID MOTION!!!!! STARK FINALLY REACHES THE TOP AND SEES JACOB SENN STANDING ATOP THE CAGE WITH A LOOK OF PURE MALICE ON HIS FACE….

Stephens: STARK ISN’T EVEN GOING TO BOTHER!!!! HE’S GOING FOR THE ESCAPE!!!! AND SENN LUNGES FOR HIM, TAKING CAUTIOUS YET HASTY STEPS ON THE TOP OF THE CAGE… BUT STARK IS GONE!!!!! -- NO!!!! SENN REACHES DOWN AND GRABS STARK BY THE ARM, PULLING HIM BACK UP!!!! STARK IS RESISTING AS MUCH AS HE CAN BUT SENN IS DRAGGING HIM BACK UP TO THE TOP OF THE CAGE… IT LOOKS LIKE STARK IS GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT!!!! STARK SWINGS AGAIN AT SENN’S EYE LOOKING TO PUT HIM AWAY FOR GOOD --- NO!!!!! SENN DUCKS IT!!!!! SENN KICKS STARK FLAT IN THE GUT AND PULLS HIM IN!!!!! WEAPON X!!!!! SENN NAILS THE STUNNER ON THE TOP OF THE CAGE!!!!!

Wilson: WAIT!!!!! STARK FELL OFF TO THE SIDE!!!!! STARK FALLS TO THE FLOOR DAMN NEAR FIFTEEN FEET OFF OF THAT CELL!!!!! THE SECOND FALL GOES TO STARK!!!!... BUT IS HE EVEN FUCKING ALIVE?!!!!

Saya Takada: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THE SECOND FALL BY WAY OF ESCAPE… STARK!!!!!!!

(The camera pans to Stark laid out on the floor as several medical officials run down to check on him. The Steel Cage begins to be lifted after Senn climbs back down to the ring.)

Stephens: The Steel Cage has finally been lifted but Stark is still getting medical attention here at ringside… BUT JACOB SENN IS TELLING THE OFFICIALS TO GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!! They look at a loss here… Senn won’t relent! The medical officials finally listen --- OH MY GOD!!!! SENN DOESN’T WASTE A SECOND CHARGING STRAIGHT FOR THE ROPES AS HE PROPS HIMSELF UP TO THE TOP ROPE BEFORE FLYING OVER TO STARK ON THE OUTSIDE WITH THE 450 SPLASH!!!!!!!!!!

Wilson: NO!!!!! STARK GETS THE KNEES UP!!!! SENN CRASHES GUT-FIRST INTO STARK’S KNEES AND CRASHES INTO THE FLOOR WITH ALL OF HIS MOMENTUM TURNING AGAINST HIM HERE!!!!! Stark starts crawling back towards the ring now, looking to find a controlled environment perhaps -- No?! STARK IS GOING UNDER THE RING!!!! STARK JUST PULLED OUT A KENDO STICK, USING IT AS A BRACE TO PICK HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET!!!! Jacob Senn is starting to stir here… BUT STARK LUNGES FORWARD AND CRACKS THAT KENDO STICK OVER HIS RIBS!!!! SENN TWISTS OVER IN PAIN BUT STARK TAKES A SHOT OVER HIS BACK NOW, BEFORE SWINGING AGAIN AT THE BACK OF HIS NECK!!!! STARK KICKS SENN JUST UNDER THE CHIN TO POP HIS HEAD UP BEFORE SWINGING AT HIS FACE NOW!!!!!

Stephens: SENN PUTS HIS ARMS UP JUST IN TIME TO TAKE THE IMPACT AGAINST THEM BUT STARK SPINS AROUND SENN AND SWINGS AGAIN --- THIS TIME SENN ROLLS BACK UP TO HIS FEET USING THE BARRICADE!!!!! STARK DOESN’T CARE, SWINGING INDISCRIMINATELY AGAIN --- AT A FAN!!!!! STARK IS AIMING AT THE FAN BEHIND JACOB SENN --- THE CHAIRMAN JUMPS IN THE WAY JUST IN TIME TAKING THE SHOT THE FACE!!!!! SENN’S EYE IS BLOODY AND SWOLLEN AND SO IS HIS NOSE NOW AFTER THAT VICIOUS CRACK FROM THE KENDO STICK!!!!! LOOK AT THAT FUCKED UP SADISTIC SMILE ON STARK’S FACE, USING SENN’S RESPONSIBILITIES AS A CHAIRMAN AND HIS PASSION AS A PERFORMER AGAINST HIM!!!! HOW DESPICABLE DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO TRY TO HARM SOMEONE WHO PAID TO WATCH YOU COMPETE?!!!

Wilson: THERE ARE NO LIMITS WHEN IT COMES TO THE CONTROL OF THE COMPANY!!!! THIS CROWD IS THROWING TRASH AT STARK NOW BUT HE’S JUST RAISING HIS ARMS AND TAKING IT ALL IN AS HE STANDS OVER JACOB SENN!!!! STARK PICKS SENN UP BY THE HAIR NOW AND SLAPS HIM STRAIGHT ACROSS THE FACE BEFORE THROWING HIM OVER THAT BARRICADE INTO THE CROWD!!!! THE FANS AT RINGSIDE HERE ARE TRYING TO CHECK ON SENN BUT STARK IS KEEPING THEM AT BAY WITH HIS KENDO STICK -- AND STARK CRACKS IT OVER SENN’S RIBS AGAIN!!!! EVER SINCE GETTING THROWN OFF THAT CAGE STARK HAS BEEN REBORN A DIFFERENT BEAST!!!!

Stephens: Stark starts to drag Senn by the legs towards the rafter above the barricade now, walking over to our table… OH GOD ---

(Stark grabs Mark Stephens and throws him into the group of fans behind him before picking up the English Announce Desk and carrying it over to underneath the rafter.)

Wilson: MARK!!! ARE YOU… OH NO!!!! STARK HAS THAT TABLE SET UP UNDER THAT RAFTER!!!! STARK PICKS JACOB SENN UP AND SLAPS THE TASTE OUT OF HIS MOUTH AGAIN BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP!!!! DRAGON SUPLEX -- NO!!! JACOB SENN GROUNDS HIMSELF AND STRUGGLES AS HARD AS HE CAN, THRASHING AND FLAILING UNTIL STARK’S GRIP ON HIM IS BROKEN!!!! SENN TURNS AROUND QUICK BUT STARK DROPKICKS HIM BACK TOWARDS THE WALL UNDERNEATH THE RAFTER!!!! STARK GOES LOW TO PICK UP HIS KENDO STICK BEFORE SWINGING AT SENN AGAIN --- SENN LUNGES FORWARD AND KICKS THE STICK OUT OF STARK’S HAND!!!! STARK JUMPS UP HOWEVER TO CONNECT THE BICYCLE KNEE TO SENN’S CHEST DRIVING HIM BACK INTO THAT WALL -- SENN IS FIGHTING BACK!!!! HEADBUTT!!!! NOW A STRAIGHT PUNCH, FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER ONE!!!!! SENN IS DRIVING STARK BACK TOWARDS THAT TABLE!!!!! SENN NAILS THE SHOOT KICK BEFORE SPINNING FOR THE BACKFIST!!!!!... AND SENN NAILS THE LARIAT!!!!! SENN HAS STARK SET UP OVER THE TABLE BUT STARK WISELY ROLLS OFF OF IT!!!!!

(The camera pans back to Daniel Wilson who stops to help Mark Stephens up to his foot.)

Wilson: You good?

Stephens: Yeah… yeah….

Wilson: Understandably you’re shaken up, but this match is still going on and we need to call it! Stark uses the table to start to pull himself up --- SENN SLIDES OVER THE TABLE TO CONNECT THE SLIDING FOREARM TO STARK’S FACE!!!! SENN PICKS STARK RIGHT UP BUT STARK STARTS FIGHTING BACK!!!! NEITHER MAN CAN FIND THE EDGE HERE NOW --- I MIGHT HAVE SPOKEN TOO SOON!!!! STARK NAILS THE TEEP KICK TO SEND SENN BACK A FEW FEET --- SUPERKICK!!!!! EXCELLENT FOLLOW UP FROM STARK TO DROP SENN BACK TOWARDS THE FLOOR -- BUT STARK PULLS HIM BACK UP!!!! BICYCLE KNEE AGAIN!!!! SENN GOES DOWN AND STARK PICKS HIM UP, DRAGGING HIM TOWARDS THE TABLE….

Stephens: YES!!!!!! SENN SEPARATES HIMSELF FROM STARK’S GRASP!!!!! SENN LUNGES WITH THE HEADBUTT!!!!... WEAPON X!!!!!!!!! THE STUNNER CONNECTS!!!!! THE RECOIL SENDS STARK FALLING BACK INTO THE TABLE, AND SENN LAYS HIM FLAT OVER IT!!!!! SENN LOOKS UP TO THE RAFTER… AND JUMPS UP TO PULL HIMSELF UP!!!! SENN IS NEARLY TEN FEET ABOVE STARK WHO IS AS STILL AS HE CAN BE FLAT ON THAT TABLE!!!!... AND SENN FLIES!!!!!!! VINDICATION!!!!!! SENN DRIVES STARK THROUGH THE TABLE WITH THE VINDICATION, CAUSING AN EXPLOSION OF WOOD AND DUST!!!!!! IN THE MIDST, SENN HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!!!!!!

Referee: ONE!!!!!!!!!!!..... TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....

Wilson: HOW??????!!!!!!!!!!! HOW DID STARK KICK OUT?!!!!!!!! SENN IS IN COMPLETE DISBELIEF!!!!!

Stephens: NO!!!!.... NO WAY!!!! NO FUCKING WAY!!!!! STARK IS PUSHING HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET LIKE NOTHING JUST HAPPENED DESPITE HAVING SEVERAL SPLINTERS STUCK ALL OVER HIS BLOODY BRUISED BODY!!!!! JACOB SENN LOOKS LIKE HE’S SEEING THE DEVIL IN THE FLESH… I THINK WE ALL ARE!!!!!

Wilson: LOOK AT THAT SADISTIC GRIN ON STARK’S FACE AS HE RUSHES AT SENN!!!!! RASEN SHURIKEN!!!!!!!! STARK CATCHES SENN IN THE JAW WITH THAT BRUTAL KNEE!!!!!! STARK STANDS OVER SENN AND PRESSES HIS BOOT INTO HIS FACE!!!!! STARK ISN’T GOING FOR JUST THE WIN HERE!!!! HE WANTS TO KILL JACOB SENN BEFORE DECLARING HIMSELF CHAIRMAN!!!!!

Stephens: STARK TAKES A FEW STEPS BACK, STILL GRINNING THAT EVIL GRIN…. AND STARK LUNGES FORWARD!!!!! THE CURB STOMP!!!!! STARK IS USING THE SHADOW STEP AGAINST JACOB SENN!!!! WAIT!!!! SENN CATCHES THE LEG AND PULLS STARK DOWN TO THE FLOOR!!!!! STARK IN A FRENZY STARTS THROWING FISTS AT SENN BUT SENN DODGES THEM ALL AND FINDS ONE GOOD OPENING TO THROW WITH ALL OF HIS REMAINING POWER ONE LAST PUNCH…. AND HE FINDS STARK OPEN RIGHT ON THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE, DAMN NEAR KNOCKING HIM OUT!!!!! SENN ROLLS BACK OVER STARK NOW GRABBING THE ARM!!!!... NO WAY!!!! YES!!! YES!!!! YES!!!!!! SENN HAS THE SCISSORED ARMBAR LOCKED IN!!!!! THE ILLUMINATION!!!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE HERE AS STARK IS STUCK WITH NOWHERE TO GO!!!!... AND SENN STARTS KICKING AWAY AT THE BACK OF STARK’S HEAD!!!!! STARK IS TRYING TO STAY ALIVE BUT EVERY KICK TO THE BACK OF HIS CRANIUM IS RATTLING HIS BRAIN FURTHER AND FURTHER… THE FIGHT IN STARK IS FADING WITH SENN SHOWING NO SIGNS OF LETTING UP ON THE ILLUMINATION!!!!!.... STARK TAPS!!!!!!! STARK TAPS!!!!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“S.O.A.R” by Devour The Day hits to a roaring pop that turns into a standing ovation as Jacob Senn stands up to his feet, throwing up the Iconic taunt over a fallen and defeated Stark.)

Saya Takada: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THE THIRD BY WAY OF SUBMISSION…. AND THE SURVIVOR OF THREE STAGES OF HELL!!!!.... JACCCOOOOOBBBBBBBBBB SEEENNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stephens: HE DID IT!!!! JACOB SENN DID IT!!!!! TWO MATCHES, SEVENTY MINUTES, BRUTALITY, CARNAGE, BLOODSHED - THAT’S WHAT THIS FEUD BETWEEN JACOB SENN AND STARK WAS!!!! WHAT WAS ONCE JUST A CHALLENGE FOR A FRIENDLY INVITATIONAL TURNED INTO A WAR THAT MIGHT HAVE JUST ENDED STARK’S CAREER TONIGHT!!!! STARK TOOK SENN’S PRIDE, HIS DIGNITY, HIS CLAIM TO HIS LEGENDARY STATUS AT SUPREMACY, BUT SENN TOOK THAT ALL BACK AND MORE TONIGHT!!!! LOOK AT HIM WALK THROUGH THE CROWD TAKING IN THE LOVE!!!!!

Wilson: Medical staff is over there checking on Stark… WHAT?!!! STARK IS UP ON HIS FEET AS WELL!!!! HIS ARM IS HANGING DEAD BY HIS SIDE AND HE CAN JUST BARELY LIMP, BUT HE’S DRAGGING HIMSELF OVER TO THE RING!

(The camera pans to a confused Jacob Senn on the stage watching Stark slowly drag himself to the ring. Stark grabs a microphone from the announcers area and rolls himself into the ring, using the ropes to pull himself up. Stark finds his footing in the center of the ring as “S.O.A.R” begins to fade out.)

Stephens: What could he possibly have to say after that war…?

Stark: It’s funny… But I guess this is what I deserve. If I can’t… If I can’t shape Strong Style Wrestling in my vision… Then you’d better do your damn best. Take this company to the stars. Don’t drop the ball… because if you do… You’re going to run into me again, bitch. I’ve had one hell of a decade in this industry… but now I think it’s time to go back to the Bonsai Garden for good.

(Stark drops the microphone and collapses to the mat while medical staff enter the ring to check on him. Jacob Senn nods on the stage before walking through the curtain to the back.)

Wilson: It looks like this hellacious feud has finally come to an end… Stark is putting an end to his ten year career and Jacob Senn now stands victorious, ready to take Strong Style Wrestling into the future!

(The medical staff helps Stark up to his feet and they help escort him out of the ring with disappointment in his eyes, being brought towards the backstage area, as the ring has been cleared. After that, the camera points up towards the next match… )

( https://i.imgur.com/hQXPcDR.png )

Saya Takada: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

(“Street Dreams” by Hollywood Undead begins to play as the lights begin to fade. The Apparition enters shadow boxing at the top of the ramp to a op from the crowd. Acknowledging their support, he raises his fist in a power pose before making his way down to the ring.)

Saya Takada: Introducing first, from Newfoundland, Canada and weighing in at 205 pounds… He is “The Forgotten One”... THE APPARITION!!!

Mark Stephens: Well he is something of an elder statesman here but The Apparition still has a lot to teach some of the next generation here at SSW. After a fine performance he looked to have had the match against Kikyo Himura won last week before being blindsided by his opponent tonight, Maybe he can teach young Kai Stevens some manners.

(“White Knuckles” by Alter Bridge hits the speakers as a thick fog forms on the entryway. Kai Stevens emerges through the smoke closely followed by Brian Church. Stevens throws his hands in the air, forming a delta shape with his thumbs and index fingers as blue pyrotechnics erupt around him. With the crowd’s boos spurring him on, Kai descends the ramp.)

Saya Takada: And his opponent, from Long Island, New York and weighing in at 227 pounds… accompanied to the ring by Brian Church… He is “The Inevitable”... KAI STEVENS!!!

Daniel Wilson: The Apparition can try, though I don’t know that it will do any good. I also don’t know why you had to specify “young”, Mark of the inferior Stephens clan. You do know that this is exactly the kind of thing that has set Kai off right? Age is just a number and not a particularly important one because the only thing that Kai Stevens is counting is the body count he leaves behind. Mark my words, we’ll all be calling him Kai Senpai soon enough.

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephens: There is the bell and Kai rushes headlong at The Apparition. The masked veteran slows the pace down, guiding Stevens into a collar and elbow tie to try and keep this match methodical. The Apparition maneuvers into a side headlock. Stevens slips out and behind with his arms around the waist. GERMAN SUPLEX! NO!!! The Apparition manages to keep his centre of gravity low and stuns Stevens with a couple of sharp back elbows to the side of the head. He peels back Kai’s thumb, pulling the arm out and twisting underneath it for the wristlock. Kai attempts to roll out of it but The Apparition keeps a close hold onto him. He pulls Stevens down with an arm wringer AND HE GOES FOR THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR! IT’S CINCHED IN!!!

Wilson: I can confirm the Apparition has the hold locked in tight, but if he thinks he can end it like that so early here then he really isn’t Kai Stevens the respect he deserves. Stevens shows that strength and fortitude by dragging himself along one-armed. Kai enjoys a 20 pound weight advantage here and as he easily makes to the bottom rope you can tell that is all functional muscle there. The Apparition is forced to back off as Kai hauls himself up. The Apparition charges back in BUT KAI CATCHES HIM WITH THE BACK ELBOW! HE HUNCHES THE APPARITION OVER WITH A BIG KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION BEFORE HAMMERING AWAY ON HIS SPINE WITH A SERIES OF DOUBLE AXE HANDLES!

Stephens: The Apparition drops down to his hands and knees from the force of those punishing blows. Kai Stevens races off the ropes… COWBOY KILLER! BUT THE APPARITION SIDESTEPS THE BICYCLE KNEE AND CATCHES KAI STEVENS IN AN INVERTED HEADLOCK! HE LIFTS FOR THE GALLERIA… BUT KAI FLIPS OVER AND LANDS ON HIS FEET APPLYING AN INVERTED HEADLOCK OF HIS OWN!!! HE TURNS IT INTO A BACKBREAKER AND THE APPARITION IS SENT WHEELING AWAY, ARCHING HIS SPINE IN PAIN! AND KAI DOESN’T LET HIM GO FAR - KNEE LIFT CONNECTS TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD AND STEVENS PULLS HIM IN… CLIFFHANGER!!! KAI STAY ON HIM FOR THE COVER!

Referee: ONE!... TWO!...

Wilson: The Apparition seats up with some forcefulness but Kai Stevens is not in the least impressed. BUZZSAW KICK! KAI STEVENS CLEANS THE OLD GEEZER’S GRANDFATHER CLOCK AND WATCHES THE APPARITION SLUMP FORWARD SLOWLY! BUT HE IS NOT DONE! STEVENS HITS A SERIES OF CLUBBING FOREARMS TO THE SKULL OF THE APPARITION! HE’S LOOKING TO GIVE A CONCUSSION TO THIS MAN’S CONCUSSION!!

Stephens: That doesn’t even make se-

Wilson: BAH GAWD! STEVENS!!! KAI STEVENS IS TUGGING AT THE MASK! HE IS TRYING TO UNMASK THE APPARITION’S WRINKLED FACE! THAT’S IT KAI!!! DO IT!!! HE ISN’T EVEN A REAL LUCHADOR, AND NOW THE WORLD IS STARTING TO SEE HIS TRUE SHAMEFUL FACE AS KAI STEVENS STARTS TO TEAR THE EYE HOLE OPEN WITH HIS BARE HANDS!!!

Stephens: NO! THE APPARITION WILL NOT ALLOW IT! HE'S FIGHTING HIS WAY BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND IS STABBING HIS ELBOW BACK INTO KAI STEVENS’ RIBS! APPARITION FLIPS STEVENS OVER WITH THE SNAPMARE AND CATCHES HIM FROM BEHIND! SNAP BELLY-TO-BACK SUPLEX!!! KAI STEVENS IS SENT TUMBLING ACROSS THE RING BUT STAGGERS STRAIGHT BACK TO HIS FEET! THE APPARITION RACES AT HIM FOR A LARIAT BUT IT IS DUCKED! KAI REBOUNDS AND APPARITION DROPS PRONE UNDERNEATH HIM! KAI COMES AROUND AGAIN - RIGHT INTO A SUNSHINE FALCON!!! KAI STEVENS SCRAMBLES BACK TO HIS FEET BUT THE APPARITION TAKES HIM DOWN WITH ANOTHER SUNSHINE FALCON SHOULDER BLOCK!

Wilson: The Apparition pries back one of Kai Stevens’ arms. HE’S LOOKING FOR THE PHANTASM! BUT KAI ISN’T HAVING ANY OF IT! HE IS KEEPING HIS FEET FIRMLY PLANTED AND STRAINS AGAINST THE APPARITION’S PULL! HE GETS HIM UP!!! KAI STEVENS HAULS THE APPARITION UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS… SLAM POETRY!!! THE FIREMAN’S CARRY SLAM CONNECTS EMPHATICALLY! The Apparition has had enough, he’s rolling out of the ring and getting out of Dodge, he can’t win here.

Stephens: He isn’t going anywhere, Daniel. The Apparition is just creating some space so that he has the room to breathe and recover. But he has got to hurry.

Wilson: Not too quickly I hope. Wouldn’t want the old fart to snap his hip. In any case, Stevens’ excellent conditioning looks to be the difference here as he is exploding with energy here. Stevens’ hits the ropes...FOSBURY FLOP!!! BUT MY LORD! THE APPARITION! THE APPARITION WAS LYING IN WAIT AND HE GUIDES KAI STEVENS INTO THE BARRICADE!!! HE COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT HERE! HER MIGHT HAVE BROKEN HIS BACK BUT THAT ISN’T THE APPARITION’S CONCERN RIGHT NOW! HE JUST WANTS TO TAKE THIS OPENING AND RUN WITH IT AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING AS HE ROLLS STEVENS BACK INTO THE RING!

Stephens: Kai Stevens is still in a lot of pain here as he takes his time peeling himself up off the canvas. Meanwhile, The Apparition makes his own trip up to the high rent district with the crowd getting to their feet in anticipation. THE APPARITION LEAPS… AND HITS THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP RIGHT INTO KAI STEVENS’ UPPER BACK! KAI YELPS IN PAIN AS THE SPRY OLD FOX ROLLS TO HIS FEET! THE APPARITION COMES BACK AROUND FOR A RUNNING KNEE! BUT KAI AVOIDS IT AND DROPS HIM WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! THE APPARITION SWEEPS THE LEGS AND LOOKS TO GO FOR A SUBMISSION! HE’S TRIES FOR THE GROUNDED MANJI GATAME BUT STEVENS POWERS OUT OF HIS ATTEMPTS AND TAKES THE APPARITION OVER HIS SHOULDER! KAI ISOLATES AN ARM… LA MAGISTRAL!!! HE’S GOT THE APPARITION’S SHOULDER’S DOWN!!!

Referee: ONE!... TWO!...

Wilson: KICK OUT JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME! KAI STEVENS ALMOST TOOK THE SPOILS BY OUT WRESTLING THE APPARITION BUT NOW THEY BOTH RACE TO A VERTICAL BASE… IT’S A LOW DROPKICK BY STEVENS TO TAKE THE LEGS OUT FROM UNDER THE APPARITION! KAI LACES HIS ARMS AROUND THE WAIST… GERMAN SUPLEX!!! BUT WHAT THE HELL!?!? THE APPARITION LANDED RIGHT ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AND STILL ROLLS DIRECTLY TO HIS FEET RIGHT BEHIND KAI! THE APPARITION HOOKS BOTH ARMS FROM BEHIND - AND HITS THE TIGER SUPLEX!!! THE APPARITION HOLDS THROUGH AND - OH MY - HE STACKS KAI STEVENS UP IN THE PRAWN HOLD!!!

Referee: ONE!... TWO!... THREEEEE

Stephens: IT’S NOT ENOUGH! KAI STEVENS KICKS OUT BY THE SKIN OF HIS TEETH! BOTH MEN RISE TOGETHER AS THE TENSION BEGINS TO RISE IN THIS MATCH! THEY ARE BOTH READY TO COME AWAY WITH VICTORY HERE BUT WHO WILL WALK AWAY THE VICTOR?!? KAI STEVENS SNAPS A JAB AT THE APPARITION WHO REPLIES BY SWINGING A PUNCH OF HIS OWN! STEVENS WITH A HEAVY FOREARM FOLLOWS WITH THE UPPERCUT WHICH RATTLES THE APPARITION AND HAS HIM STAGGERING BACK A COUPLE OF STEPS! BUT THE APPARITION HITS BACK WITH A SIDEKICK TO THE MIDSECTION! IT KNOCKS THE WIND OUT OF KAI FOR A MOMENT AND THE APPARITION TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO THE LEGS, TARGETING STEVENS’ BALANCE WITH A TRIFECTA OF LOW ROUNDHOUSE KICKS! KAI LUNGES IN AND SWINGS CLOSE BUT IT’S DUCKED - SPINNING HEEL KICK FROM THE APPARITION!!!

Wilson: There was more than a little luck about it but that shot hits Stevens about as cleanly as you could imagine. Kai is turned around by the force of it and though he stays on his feet you can tell that he is severely rocked. The Apparition pulls up behind him… PELÉ KICK!!! STEVENS HITS BACK AND NOW IT’S THE APPARITION WHO IS SEEING STARS! KAI SCOOPS HIM UP LOOKING FOR THE FULL STOP POWERBOMB… BUT IT IS REVERSED AT THE LAST SECOND INTO A FRANKENSTEINER! KAI STEVENS IS SPUN FOR A LOOP AS HE SCRAMBLES TO HIS FEET IN THE CORNER! CORNER LARIAT BY THE APPARITION!!! HE REALLY IS NOT GIVING KAI A MOMENT TO BREATH AND NOW HE IS PULLING STEVENS BACK INTO THE INVERTED HEADLOCK!!!

Stephens: THIS MIGHT BE IT! A GALLARIA HERE WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY BE THE END OF THE MATCH! KAI STEVENS IS STRUGGLING INTENSELY BUT THE APPARITION JUST WILL NOT LET HIM GO! HE STARTS TO DRAG KAI OUT TO THE CENTRE! BUT KAI PULLS THE OTHER WAY! HE KEEPS CLOSE TO THE CORNER AND MANAGES TO KICK OFF THE TURNBUCKLE PAD - SHIRANUI!!! A DESPERATE BUT EXCELLENT COUNTER PLANTS THE APPARITION JUST IN FRONT OF THE CORNER! STEVENS BOUNDS UP TO THE TOP… KATABASIS!!! THE DIZZYING 630 SENTON CONNECTS AND THAT COULD BE ALL SHE WROTE! KAI STEVENS SPRAWLS FOR THE COVER!!!

Referee: ONE!... TWO!... THREEEE-

-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“White Knuckles” by Alter Bridge fills the arena as Kai Stevens has his arm raised. He snatches his hand back and starts to taunt the booing crowd.)

Saya Takada: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by way of pinfall… KAI STEVENS!!!

Wilson: HE’S DONE IT! Kai Stevens has just put the entire locker room on notice here with this victory. He isn’t just a kid. He isn’t a young boy. And he isn’t here to pay any dues. He’s here to win matches. The people out here don’t seem to like him just because he’s shown a little more ambition that all of them combined. But I think sooner rather than later all of the boys in the back are going to have to respect just how much of a threat Kai Stevens is.

Stephens: He got the result. You can’t fault him there and it is clear that Stevens is an exciting prospect at the very least, if not already ready to challenge for bigger things. As bad as I feel for The Apparition, Kai has earned some respect to-WHAT THE HELL!?!? STEVENS DRIVES THE BOOT DOWN ON THE BACK OF THE APPARITION’S HEAD!

Wilson: KAI ISN’T FINISHED HERE! HE’S SENDING OUT A MESSAGE IN THE WORST WAY! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU UNDERESTIMATE KAI STEVENS!!!

Stephens: KAI STEVENS DRAGS THE APPARITION ACROSS THE RING BY HIS MASK! HE PROPS THE VETERAN ATHLETE UP AGAINST THE ROPES, BUT WHAT IS HE THINKING!?!? KAI RACES OFF… AND REBOUNDS AT HIGH SPEED - COWBOY KILLER!!! HE DRIVES THE BICYCLE KNEE RIGHT THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE APPARITION’S SKULL AND THIS IS JUST GRATUITOUS NOW!STEVENS SOAKS UP THE HATRED OF THE CROWD A MOMENT BEFORE LEANING DOWN AND… WAIT… WHAT IS HE DOING!?!? NO!!! NOT THAT!!!

Wilson: HE’S TRYING TO REMOVE THE MASK OF THE APPARITION! WE SAW HIM HAVE A GO AT IT EARLIER IN THE MATCH BUT NOW HE IS AT IT FOR REAL AND THERE IS LITTLE RESISTANCE THAT THE APPARITION CAN MUSTER!!!

(“Forces” by Susumu Hirasawa hits the sound system to the huge cheer from the crowd! Masanori Kawada comes bolting from behind the curtain and hightails it down the ramp.)

Stephens: THANK GOD! HERE COMES THE CAVALRY!!! MASANORI HITS THE RING AND KAI STEVENS LEAVES THE APPARITION TO FACE HIM - SPEAR OF JUSTICE!!! KAWADA HITS A HUGE SPEAR OF JUSTICE ON STEVENS AND KAI STARTS TO ROLL FROM THE RING! HE DROPS WITH A THUD FROM THE APRON BEFORE CRAWLING AWAY WITH HIS TAIL BETWEEN HIS LEGS!!!

Wilson: Something tells me this won’t be the last we hear of this moment. Kawada has just shown Stevens up in front of thousands and there is no way that I see Kai letting this humiliation go lightly. He has too much pride for that.

(Kai Stevens is chased out of the ring with a smile on his face, pointing towards Kawada as if he was calling his next shot, with Masanori Kawada calling for him to get back into the ring. Kai makes his exit from the stadium with Kawada helping The Apparition to his feet, both men rolling out of the ring and making their exit, clearing the ring out. Once the ring has been cleared, the camera points up to the titantron… )

Saya Takada: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL and is for the SSW JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

(“Triggered” by contRoVersy blasts from the speakers as BANG emerges from behind the curtain with Minerva, his stalwart companion, under his arm. Bang waves the plush kitten’s paw at the SSW fans before descending the ramp, slowly bobbing his head side to side.)

Saya Takada: Introducing first, from Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan and weighing in at 194 pounds… He is “The Shootist”... BANG!!!

Stephens: Having sat a protracted time on the sidelines, the original Junior Heavyweight Champ and Tres Comas Club leader returns to take back both from the man who has filled his seat. Ring rust is a worry here, but this return to the ring is hotly anticipated for a reason. BANG is a phenomenal athlete and he forfeited that belt rather than being bested for it.

(“Screwed” by Joe Monáe ft. Zoe Kravitz starts to fill the arena as André Virgo swaggers out with the SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship strapped around his waist. He steps into the ring, opening the flip lens of his sunglasses to stare BANG down ahead of the match.)

Saya Takada: And his opponent, from Motown, Detroit, Michigan and weighing in at 230 pounds… He is your SSW JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION… ANDRÉ VIRGO!!!

Wilson: For some reason, some people still like to push this narrative that BANG is still the rightful leader and Champion. But even when he was those things, he was quick to give it up. Now this young man here, André Virgo, from where I have been sitting I’d say it looks like he’s done all the hard work. He’s the one who has been bodying the goons coming after that title. With all the turmoil happening Tres Comas Club’s free market haven, André is the one who has kept hold of his title, his status, and his paycheck and that means a hell of a lot more than BANG catching a nice big return here.

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephens: We are off and GUN STUN! BANG ATTEMPTS TO FIRE OFF THE BIG GUN RIGHT ON THE BELL BUT VIRGO JUST ALERT ENOUGH TO BLOCK IT THERE! BANG gets shoved off. He shoots a quick kick to the knee that takes André’s leg out from under him AND BANG LEADS IN WITH THE KNEE!!! HE HAS GOTTEN TRIGGER HAPPY HERE AS HE UNLOADS A SERIES OF RAPID FIRE KNEES TO THE FACE OF ANDRÉ VIRGO! THERE IS AN EXTREME CONCUSSION RISK FROM THIS AND BANG MIGHT JUST BE TAKING THIS ONE EARLY AS ANDRÉ STARTS TO SLUMP UNDER THE ASSAULT!

Wilson: BANG gets under him, heaving André Virgo right up onto his shoulders in the fireman’s carry. WE KNOW HE CAN FINISH FROM HERE - BUT VIRGO PULLS IT TOGETHER TO PRESENT SOME RESISTANCE! HE DRIVES THE THE POINT OF HIS ELBOW OVER AND OVER AGAIN INTO BANG’S TEMPLE BUT WHILE IT IS BOTHERING HIM, HE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE HE WANTS TO LET GO… BANG ROLLS INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY TAKEOVER SLAM, LEAPING UP INTO THE CORNER ON THE ROPE ROPE IN ONE SWIFT MOTION - MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!! BUT HANG ON! BANG HIT THE MOONSAULT RIGHT OVER THE RAISED KNEES OF ANDRÉ VIRGO!

BUT WHAT A COUNTER! BANG TIMES HIS MOVEMENTS JUST RIGHT AND REVERSES TStephens: BANG MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE CRACKED A RIB THERE BUT REGARDLESS IT IS AN OPENING THAT VIRGO POUNCES ON! HE BEATS BANG DOWN TO HIS KNEES WITH SOME OVERHAND RIGHTS TO THE BACK! VIRGO POSITIONS THE SHOOTIST BETWEEN HIS LEGS AND APPLIES THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK - HE TOSSES HIM UP FOR THE VIRGO BOMB!!! HE ATTACK INTO A HURRICANRANA! BANG HITS THE ROPES… DUCKS A LARIAT FROM VIRGO AND REBOUNDS AGAIN - SHOTGUN DROPKICK!!! VIRGO IS KNOCKED CLEAN OFF HIS FEET AND SENT ROLLING UNDER THE ROPES TO WHERE HE LANDS HARD AT RINGSIDE!

Wilson: BANG’s immense speed proves to be an asset as he outmaneuvers André Virgo in that exchange. But there is another thing that that speed can be used for… BANG eyes Virgo recuperating down at ringside. HE RACES OFF THE ROPES AND REBOUNDS WITH A FULL HEAD OF STEAM. TOPE SUICID-WHAAA?!? VIRGO SUCKERS HIM! HE CAUGHT BANG WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT RIGHT ON THE BUTTON AND NOW THE CHALLENGER IS STUNNED HANGING HALF IN AND HALF OUT OF THE RING! Virgo backs up along the length. It looks like he’s preparing for a run up… VIRGO HITS THE GAS! DRIVE BY!!! VIRGO EMBEDS BOTH BOOTS INTO THE SIDE OF BANG’S HEAD! HE REALLY WANTS TO PUT THIS BOY IN A TRES COMAS FUNDED PRIVATE CLINIC!!!

Stephens: I don’t know about that but we sure are witnessing a clinic in carefully orchestrated violence in the ring tonight.

Wilson: How does that mean anything different to what I just said?

Stephens: I’m just calling it how it is. BANG started strong but Virgo has done a number since and looks to continue as he repositions BANG out in front of the corner. VIRGO GOES TO THE TOP! THE CROWD RISE WITH HIM AS HE LOOKS DOWN ON HIS ADVERSARY WITH MALICIOUS INTENT… ANDRÉ’S COMET!!! NO! BANG GETS HIMSELF OUT OF THERE THOUGH VIRGO STILL LANDS SAFELY WITH A ROLL! HE BLITZES AT A CORNERED BANG FOR THE DEAD END LEAPING LARIAT! BUT BANG MANAGES TO DIP PAST HIM!!! ANDRÉ LANDS STERNUM FIRST INTO THE CORNER AND BANG WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND THE WAIST… SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX CONNECTS!!!

Wilson: VIRGO TOOK THAT RIGHT ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK BUT ROLLS STRAIGHT TO HIS FEET ANYWAY! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MAN EVEN MADE OF!?!?! BANG TURNS RIGHT INTO A BIG BOOT THAT HIM ON HIS ASS IN THE CORNER! AND NOW HE FINDS HIMSELF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROCK AND HARD NECK ANDRÉ VIRGO!! THE “STOLEN BREATH” IS STEALING THE BREATH OF BANG BY QUITE SIMPLY STOMPING IT OUT OF HIS CHEST! BANG COULD DO NOTHING STOP THE ASSAULT AN RELIES ON THE OFFICIAL TO PULL VIRGO AWAY!

Stephens: Virgo allows himself to be backed away as he holds his hands up in a non-threatening manner. André even gives his hips a bit of a wiggle as the official tries to have a couple of words so I think it is fair to say that he is feeling relaxed and confident in his performance at this moment in time. He eyes BANG starting to stir in the corner... AND ZIPS IN HIS DIRECTION! VIRGO’S RUNNING DOUBLE KNEES LAND, ANOTHER CRUSHING BLOW KEEPING BANG FROM GETTING BACK INTO THIS MATCH!

Wilson: See… **THIS** is a champ. SO DOMINANT! SO IN CONTROL! VIRGO IS LOOKING LIKE HE IS IN ANOTHER LEAGUE ENTIRELY RIGHT NOW! But I think he is done putting on an exhibition… He’s ready to put an end to this charade so he can hit up Bourbon Street with the other elite athletes like Lebron, Usain Bolt, and that hockey puck that burst Mia Khalifa’s breast.

Stephens: Excuse me?

Wilson: YOU ARE EXCUSED, STEPHENS! BUT ONLY BECAUSE OF HOW OVERJOYED I AM TO SEE ANDRÉ PULLING BANG IN FOR THE VIRGO BOMB! HE UNDERHOOKS ONE ARM!... HE LOOKS TO HOOK THE SECOND… BUT BANG WON’T LET HIM HAVE IT!? HE PUNCHES VIRGO IN THE KIDNEY! AND AGAIN! BANG IS DOING EVERYTHING HE POSSIBLY CAN TO FIGHT AGAINST THE INEVITABLE BUT VIRGO IS HOLDING ON! VIRGO IS GOING TO GET HIM… NO!!!

Stephens: VIRGO FLINCHES IN PAIN FROM THE SUSTAINED PUNCHES! BANG CATCHES THE WRIST AS HE SLIDES BEHIND VIRGO. HE SPINS HIM OUT… PEACEMAKER!!! HE TAKES ANDRÉ DOWN WITH THE WRIST-CLUTCH SLINGBLADE AND NOW HE TRANSITIONS TO THE CRUCIFIX! GATLING!!! BANG LETS OFF SOME VICIOUS ELBOW SHOOTING FOR THE UNPROTECTED SKULL OF ANDRÉ VIRGO! VIRGO’S FADING!!! BANG STRAIGHT SHOOTS UP, LEAVING A DAZED ANDRÉ VIRGO DOWN AT HIS FEET! HE STARTS TO SLOWLY CLIMB UP TO THE TOP ROPE, SOME OF VIRGO’S EARLIER SHOTS CLEARLY HAVING TAKEN A TOLL ON HIM! BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER! BANG IS UP ON TOP! HE’S READY TO END THIS WITH A BANG FROM THE REVOLVER…

Wilson: NOT SO FAST! ANDRÉ VIRGO SCRAMBLES UP SUDDENLY AND MEETS BANG UP IN THE CORNER! BANG IS TRYING DESPERATELY TO PUNCH OR KICK OR ELBOW OR DO SOMETHING TO KNOCK THIS MAN DOWN BUT VIRGO HOLDS FIRM! VIRGO PULLS HIM IN… HARD BUTTERFLY SUPERPLEX!!! BAH GAWD! BOTH MEN’S BODIES HIT THE CANVAS SO DAMN BUT SLOWLY IT IS ANDRÉ VIRGO WHO FIGHTS THROUGH THE PAIN AND FORCES HIMSELF UP ON SHAKY LEGS! HE HASN’T EVEN RELEASED THE UNDERHOOKS AFTER THAT! HE HAS PLANS FOR THEM! HE HAS PLANS FOR BANG AND THEY INVOLVE SHATTERING HIS BODY AGAINST THE CANVAS… VIRGO HOISTS HIM UP… **VIRGO BOMB**!!! AND NOW SURELY IT IS OVER! VIRGO HOOKS BOTH LEGS!!!

Referee: ONE!... TWO!... THREEEEE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Screwed” by Joe Monáe ft. Zoe Kravitz hits the speakers as André Virgo rises rubbing the back of his neck. He snatches the SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship from the official and raises it above his head in celebration.)

Saya Takada: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner… ANDRÉ VIRGO!!!

Stephens: AND IT’S OVER! Another pitched battle in the Tres Comas Club civil war comes to an end and André Virgo remains right where he had been./ Right at the very top as leader and champion.

Wilson: I like BANG! He’s like that weird cousin you have whom you suspect will either one day go down in history as a school shooter, or the man with largest, most valuable collection of Funk Pops. But in the free market capitalist paradise of Tres Comas Club the only handouts you can catch are ass whoopings. While BANG has been lounging about watching his animes and playing video games designed for five year olds, Virgo has been right here investing in himself. Good on him.

(Virgo looks down at BANG one last time, scoffs, the leaves the ring to head up the ramp with his title. The young boys come to help BANG to his feet but all he wants to do is kneel where he is and hold Minerva close. He gestures a gun to his own head then gets up and starts to storm away in frustration.)

(The camera fades into the video and showcases the logo for The Best in the World Series with the dates of the event scrolling beside him.)

(The camera turns towards the titantron with a video starting up from inside of The Saitama Super Arena cheering for the return of Strong Style Wrestling.)

Mark Stephens: WELCOME TO STRONG STYLE WRESTLING!

(Scenes of Exodus are played until we reach the main event with Aria Jaxon, CM Nas, and Jaydayne Pendragon fighting for the right to be known as the inaugural SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion.)

Mark Stephens: This marks the start of the war…

(Words never rang so true with all three parties going to war for the right to be known as the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion, but soon it would all turn sour with the inclusion of The Phantom Troupe to secure the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship for themselves in choosing Aria Jaxon to be the champion.)

Mark Stephens: I can’t believe this… The Phantom Troupe has stolen the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship… The Phantom Troupe rules the world and Aria Jaxon stands as the queen of it all!

(Aria Jaxon took the world by storm as the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion, defending the championship against talents like Matias Navarro and Drake Jaeger, while Jaydayne Pendragon pushed through the trials of The Heaven’s Arena Cup Tournament to earn his way back into contention by upsetting the titan of Gronk in the finals.)

Mark Stephens: UNBELIEVABLE! DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES, DANIEL? JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON HAS WENT THE DISTANCE AND HE HAS BECOME THE INAUGURAL WINNER OF THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP TOURNAMENT!

(Jaydayne Pendragon continues his road to redemption by fighting and slaying the monster in Scott Oasis before joining Aria Jaxon after her championship retention to set the stage for tonight’s main event.)

Jaydayne Pendragon: Keep these brothers of your close beside you because when our day comes when we fight for the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship, Shoot Nation will make sure that they are far from that ring and I’ll make sure that your reign of tyranny… it’s over.

(The battle lines have been drawn for this main event for Domination for the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship. The Queen of Strong Style Wrestling and the leader of The Phantom Troupe finally meets the leader of Shoot Nation in what has been known as the climatic ending of The Phantom Troupe and Shoot Nation war. The video ends with Aria Jaxon and Jaydayne Pendragon staring towards one another with intensity before turning back into the ring area with Saya Takada in the middle of the ring.)

Saya Takada: The following contest IS YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING… AND IS FOR THE SSW PURORESU HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

(“Just Another Hero” by Yuki Hayashi begins to play around Shizouka Stadium as a masked Pendragon in seiza position is slowly elevated from beneath the stage platform. Donning a gold-and-red dragon mask upon his face with his attire matching with the colors, he remains in position to pay tribute to the arena and lifts his head to remove his mask to the crowd’s approval. He looks around the stadium with a smile on his face before running to the ring, sliding into the middle to greet the audience with a point and nod, right as he walks towards the corner for Saya Takada to make his introduction.)

Saya Takada: Introducing first, the challenger… he is from Westminster, England… he weighs in tonight at 220 pounds… he is the leader of Shoot Nation and the inaugural Heaven’s Arena Cup winner… “RED STRIFE”... JAAYYYDDDAAAYYYNNNNEEEEE PEENNNDDDRRRAAAGGGOOOONNNNN!!!

Mark Stephens: The moment of redemption that this man has been searching for since the inception of Strong Style Wrestling has finally come! After prevailing against fifteen other men to claim The Heaven’s Arena Cup, Jaydayne Pendragon has fought for this chance to redeem what happened at Exodus where he was robbed of the championship that he had won at the event! Tonight, it’s either he finds that redemption to win the belt here tonight at Domination, or he will have to deal with the fact that he won’t be SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion!

Daniel Wilson: The match is only won when the referee calls for it, Mark! Jaydayne failed as the spotlight was placed upon him and there was a plan in place by The Phantom Troupe that not only he could be able to prevent! Jaydayne has the perfect opportunity placed before him right now in this tournament, the perfect chance to be known as the top champion of Strong Style Wrestling, and it will be on him to win this championship match himself.

("Freedom" by Beyonce & Kendrick Lamar tears over the sound system, emphatic boos from the crowd kick up right on cue from it, as the logo of The Phantom Troupe appears proudly on the titantron. A smirking Aria Jaxon saunters out onto the stage, lowering her signature shades on the bridge of her nose to shoot condescending looks at members of the crowd. She has the Puroresu Heavyweight Championship slung over her shoulder. Standing at the top of the ramp, she turns around briefly in a cocky manner, her arms outstretched as she shows off The Phantom Troupe's logo on the back of her purple jacket before she makes her way down the aisle. She'll work the crowd as she makes her way to the ring, holding up her belt in the air, waving off members of the audience with a hand, or smiling in the most artificially sweet way possible. She hops up onto the ring apron, dropping her jacket and glasses at ringside before entering the ring and making a beeline for the center, holding her title up high with a big grin on her face with in a braggadocious manner.)

Saya Takada: Introducing his opponent, she is from Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 114 pounds… she is the leader of The Phantom Troupe… she is THE REIGNING AND DEFENDING SSW PURORESU HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION… “THE QUEEN OF STRONG STYLE WRESTLING”... ARRIIIAAAAA JAAXXXOOOONNNNN!!!

Daniel Wilson: DESCENDING FROM THE LOFTY HEIGHTS OF HER THRONE, THE QUEEN OF STRONG STYLE WRESTLING HAS ARRIVED IN SHIZOUKA TO DEFEND HER CROWN! Aria Jaxon has been one of the most dominant champions that we’ve had the pleasure of bearing witness to! She has defending against strong contenders such as Matias Navarro and Drake Jaeger in her reign, but this has to be the biggest challenge to date with this war between The Phantom Troupe and Shoot Nation!

Mark Stephens: Aria has been the epitome of what this company has lacked in a world champion that could hold that belt with pride and honor, but has shown that her reign has been plagued with The Phantom Troupe assisting her at every turn! I would not be surprised if we saw the lights go black and Phantom Troupe win this match for her once again!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Mark Stephens: This main event has been called to start with the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship and what many could call the fate of Strong Style Wrestling entirely hangs in the balance! The proud champion in Aria Jaxon hands the referee the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion with a smile on her face with Jaydayne Pendragon staring back with intensity towards The Phantom Troupe leader! Both fighters start to walk around the ring before they rush forward GOING RIGHT INTO THE CLENCH! Both are fighting for control of the match BUT ARIA STRIKES WITH A KNEE INTO THE STOMACH OF JAYDAYNE BEFORE WRAPPING HER ARM AROUND HIS NECK FOR THE SIDE-HEADLOCK! Aria has already begun speaking all sorts of trash towards Jaydayne about his failure to be champion INCITING A FURY FROM HIM THAT WE HAVEN’T SEEN BEFORE WITH HIM LAUNCHING ARIA STRAIGHT INTO THE ROPES! Aria rebounds off the ropes with Jaydayne sitting up for the pump kick right into her jaw BUT THE QUEEN INTERCEPTS HIM WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE RIGHT ONTO THE CHIN OF JAYDAYNE! Jaydayne collapses to the floor and once more, the confidence of the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion is displayed, as she crouches down and blows a kiss towards her challenger right before sprinting towards the ropes! Jaydayne goes to roll through to dodge Aria BUT ARIA SLOWS DOWN AND SIMPLY STEPS ONTO THE BACK OF HER OPPONENT’S BACK IN A CONDESCENDING AND REGAL MANNER AS SHE WAVES TO THE CROWD WHILE DOING IT! A scowl forms upon the face of Jaydayne from that humiliating display with Aria mocking the proud point of the leader of Shoot Nation with a smile on her face! Aria crouches down and watches Jaydayne attempt to get back to her feet WITH ARIA SLAPPING HIM IN THE FACE WHILE SCREAMING FOR HIM TO GET UP! Jaydayne starts pushing his way up to his feet while Aria places her foot underneath the chin of Jaydayne in the same manner that he would when attempting The Ren Razor!

Daniel Wilson: WHAT TH-- JAYDANE PENDRAGON JUST SHOT UP FROM THE CANVAS AND BLASTED ARIA JAXON IN THE FACE WITH A STIFF FOREARM SHOT! I know that this is a brutal fight for the right to be the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion, but don’t hit The Queen in the face! That’s the moneymaker! Jaydayne keeps the pressure onto the champion by firing sharp kicks to her shins and body to force Aria into the ropes, grabbing her by the wrist before tossing her into the ropes, however Aria spins out SHOVING JAYDAYNE INTO THE ROPES BEFORE SLIDING UNDERNEATH HIS LEGS TO KEEP THE MOMENTUM UP! WAIT! JAYDAYNE IS SHOWING SOME OF THAT SARCASTIC NATURE HIMSELF AS HE STEPS ONTO THE BACK OF ARIA WHILE STRUTTING OVER THE ROPES WHILE DOING A WAVE TOWARDS THE CROWD IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE CHAMPION! Jaydayne has usually been a serious competitor, but after some of the humiliation he has endured from Aria and The Phantom Troupe, he’s must have decided to give some of it back towards her! Aria lifts up with a bitter look on her face once more RUSHING TOWARDS HIM FOR WHAT COULD BE THE ABSOLUTE MO-- JAYDAYNE THROWS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE TO AVOID THE ABSOLUTE MONARCHY! Aria tumbles down to the floor as she starts to shake it off WITH JAYDAYNE SPRINTING BACK INTO THE ROPES AS HE LOOKS TO FLY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE ROPES FOR THE SUICIDE DIVE! ARIA SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING BEFORE JAYDAYNE FLIES THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, WITH THE CHALLENGER CATCHING HIMSELF ON THE ROPES, WHILE ARIA CONTINUES TO SPRINT TOWARDS THE ROPES! Jaydayne turns around WITH ARIA BLASTING HIM ACROSS THE FACE WITH A RUNNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK STRAIGHT TO HIS FACE THAT FLOORS HER! Aria walks over towards Jaydayne as she looks down towards him, dragging him up by his hair and chopping him on the back, grabbing under his arms AS SHE THROWS HIM BACK FOR THE SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX RIGHT DOWN INTO THE CANVAS! Aria lifts herself up to her feet and looks towards the ropes, sprinting into them to gain moment with Jaydayne sitting himself up from the canvas, as she returns BLASTING HIM INTO THE FACE WITH THE SLIDING KNEE STRIKE! THE CHAMPION DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS HIS LEG IN FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT TO POTENTIALLY RETAIN HER SSW PURORESU HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!

Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!

Daniel Wilson: JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON THROWS HIS SHOULDERS COMPLETELY OFF THE CANVAS WITH ARIA JAXON NODDING HER HEAD WHILE PUSHING HERSELF TO THEIR FEET! Aria looks down towards Jaydayne as he tries to pick himself up STRIKING WITH A KICK TO THE SPINE BEFORE HE FIRES WITH ANOTHER STIFF KICK TO THE BACK AGAIN! Aria grabs Jaydayne by the hair and drags him to his RUSHING TOWARDS THE TURNBUCKLE TO BASH HIS HEAD INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Aria keeps the pressure onto her challenger and spins her around, chopping him in the chest, as she lifts her boot up CHOKING HIM WITH HER BOOT! JAYDAYNE IS FIGHTING TO GET A BREATH OUT OF HIS LUNGS, BUT THERE’S NO WAY FROM HIM TO ESCAPE! Aria keeps choking her with her boot before he drops her boot down and hooking his head LOOKING FOR A TORNADO DDT AS SHE RUNS ACROSS THE TURNBUCKLE TO DROP HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! Aria retains control of his head before throwing a knee right into the top of his head as she climbs up to her feet with Jaydayne HOOKING HER ARMS FOR THE BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! JAYDAYNE HAS BEEN DROPPED INTO THE CANVAS BEFORE SHE FLOATS OVER AND CAPTURES HIS ARM INTO THE A CROSS ARMBREAKER! Jaydayne starts to lock his fingers together to keep Aria from locking in the submission BUT ARIA KEEP SNATCHING AND PULLING ON HIS ARM TO TRY AND BREAK HIS GRIP! Aria keeps doing the best that she can BUT SHE FINALLY BREAKS JAYDAYNE’S GRIP AND LOCKS THE CROSS ARMBREAKER IN! Aria keeps the pressure on the submission with Jaydayne reaching out to attempt to find a way out of the submission BUT JAYDAYNE STARTS TO PICK HIMSELF UP FOR THE ROLL-UP! NO! ARIA SWITCHES IT UP TO A TRIANGLE CHOKE AS SHE WRAPS HER LEGS AROUND THE THROAT OF JAYDAYNE IN AN ATTEMPT TO CHOKE HIM OUT! Aria is bringing the best into this title match as she has been attempting to submit the challenger with the triangle choke BUT JAYDAYNE PULLS HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET AS HE LOOKS TO FIGHT OUT OF THE SUBMISSION! Aria pulls back on her head to keep looking for the submission BUT LOOK AT THIS! JAYDAYNE THREW ARIA UP IN THE AIR ON HIS SHOULDERS FOR WHAT COULD BE A POWERBOMB! ARIA FLIPS DOWN BEHIND JAYDAYNE AND SPRINTS TOWARDS THE ROPES TO GAIN MOMENTUM FOR THE ABSOLUTE MONARCHY! PUMP KICK! JAYDAYNE LANDS WITH THE PUMP KICK TO THE FACE OF ARIA THAT SENDS HER RIGHT DOWN TO THE CANVAS!

Mark Stephens: JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON HAS FINALLY BE ABLE TO GAIN SOME MOMENTUM IN THIS FIGHT AS HE TURNS AROUND TO MEET ARIA JAXON TRYING TO PICK HERSELF UP! Jaydayne starts calling for her to stand back to her feet STRIKING WITH A SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST NEARLY CONCAVES HER BACK INTO HER CHEST! Aria starts to sit up in a kneeling position as Jaydayne walks around KICKING HER IN THE CHEST WITH A STIFF SHOOT KICK AGAIN! Jaydayne points down to his head before he sprints back into the ropes for the shining wizard BUT ARIA LEAPS UP WITH THE DROPKICK RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF HER CHALLENGER BEFORE ROLLING BACK UP TO HER FEET! Aria sprints back into the ropes herself CALLING FOR THE ABSOLUTE MONARCHY ONCE MORE UPON JAYDAYNE! JAPANESE ARM DRAG! JAYDAYNE DROPS ARIA WITH THE ARM DRAG BEFORE HE STANDS UP TO HIS FEET AND RUSHES IN FROM BEHIND HER! SHINING WIZARD! JAYDAYNE DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO THE BACK OF ARIA’S HEAD WITH THE SHINING WIZARD RIGHT THERE! CAN JAYDAYNE BE ABLE TO END THE MATCH RIGHT HERE AND HAVE HIS REDEMPTION IN THE SSW PURORESU HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH? HE HOOKS HER LEG IN FOR THE PIN!

Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!

Daniel Wilson: YES! ARIA JAXON THROWS HER SHOULDER OFF OF THE CANVAS WITH JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON SHAKING HIS HEAD FROM DISAPPOINTMENT IN NOT BEING ABLE TO PUT THEM AWAY! Jaydayne pushes himself up to her feet and walks over towards Aria as he places his foot under her chin, looking down with a scowl on her face, as he lifts her up to her feet AS HE LOOKS TO LAND THE REN RAZOR ONTO THE CHIN OF THE CHAMPION! ARIA CATCHES THE BOOT! ARIA CAUGHT JAYDAYNE BY THE BOOT BEFORE HE SHOVED HIM BACK INTO THE ROPES AS SHE LOOKS FOR THE SUPERKICK ON THE REBOUND! NOPE! JAYDAYNE ROLLS THROUGH UNDER THE KICK BEFORE HE SPRINTS BACK TO FIRE WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF ARIA BY SURPRISE! ARIA DROPS TO THE CANVAS WITH JAYDAYNE LIFTING HIMSELF WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE! Jaydayne has become determined that he will dethrone The Queen and if this continues, I hate to say it, but we might see that if he continues this stride that he has been on! Jaydayne starts to drag Aria up to her feet HOOKING HER IN FOR A BRAINBUSTER! NO! ARIA GOUGES JAYDAYNE BY THE EYE WITH HIM HOWLING IN PAIN FROM THE THUMB IN HIS EYE! Aria release him by the eye and leaps in the air JUMPING ON HIS SHOULDERS FOR THE ULTRAVIOLET! HOLD UP! JAYDAYNE KEEPS ARIA ON HER SHOULDERS BY THE LEG AND WALKS OVER TOWARDS THE TURNBUCKLE TO DROP HER ON HER FACE TO THE TURNBUCKLE WITH AN ELECTRIC CHAIR FACEBUSTER!

Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!...

Mark Stephens: NO! ARIA JAXON IS ABLE TO GET HER SHOULDER OFF OF THE CANVAS IN THE NICK OF TIME! JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON MIGHT HAVE FOOLED HIMSELF INTO BELIEVING THAT WAS IT, BUT ARIA HAS BEEN FIGHTING TO MAKE SURE THAT HER CHAMPIONSHIP HAS REMAINED ON HER SHOULDER AGAINST AMAZING COMPETITORS! Jaydayne pushes his way back to his feet as he looks down upon Aria STRIKING WITH A STOMP TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD TO FORCE HER TO SHOW SOME FIGHT TO STAND UP AS HE STEPS BACK TOWARDS THE ROPES!

JAYDAYNE FIRES WITH THE CRANE KICK TO INTERCEPT THE DIVING SOMERSAULT NECKBREAKER WITH ARIA COLLAPSING TO THE CANVAS! Aria rolls her way outside of the ring as she holds the back of her neck from the impact as she turns RIGHT INTO A SUICIDE DIVE FROM JAYDAYNE! JAYDAYNE SOARED TO THE OUTSIDE TO FLY RIGHT INTO ARIA TO SEND HER RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE! Jaydayne lands on his feet and starts wiping his hands before grabbing Aria by the neck as he hoists her up to her feet LAUNCHING HER ACROSS THE RING INTO THE BARRICADE! WAIT! ARIA JUMPS ONTO THE BARRICADE AND FLIPS BACK FOR A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT INTO JAYDAYNE! ARIA LANDS ON HER FEET, BUT WASN’T ABLE TO HIT JAYDAYNE WITH THE MOONSAULT AS HE LEAPT ONTO THE BARRICADE, FLYING BACK WITH A SPRINGBOARD ENZIGURI RIGHT INTO ARIA TO THE OUTSIDE! Aria collapses on the floor as the referee calls for them to get back into the ring while Jaydayne nods over towards the referee in acknowledgement of this! Jaydayne lifts Aria up and tosses her back into the ring before he climbs up onto the apron with Aria still reeling from the kick that she sustained on the outside! Jaydayne enters back in the ring and starts to stalk the champion once more LOOKING FOR THAT MASTER SWORD ONCE AGAIN TO PUT THIS MATCH TO REST! Aria stands up to her feet as she turns around WITH JAYDAYNE GOING FOR THAT ROARING ELBOW STRIKE ONCE MORE! ARIA AVOIDS THE MASTER SWORD ONCE AGAIN AND LEAPS INTO THE MIDDLE ROPE BEFORE FLYING BACK WITH THE SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG! SHE USED TO CALL THAT THE HOLLYWOOD HANGOVER AND MAN, JAYDAYNE WILL HAVE TO BE FEELING LIKE HE’S GOTTEN A HANGOVER AFTER BEING MET WITH THAT BULLDOG! Aria has been calling back to her old ways of being able to fight her challenger, as she rolls Jaydayne onto his shoulders, as she hooks him by the leg LOOKING TO END THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE AND RETURN TO THE PHANTOM TROUPE WITH ANOTHER DOMINANT RETENTION!

Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!...

Daniel Wilson: HOW? JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON THROWS HER SHOULDER UP FROM THE CANVAS WITH ENOUGH TIME TO SPARE WHILE THE REACTION FROM ARIA JAXON SHOWS THAT IT MIGHT BE GETTING TO HER! Aria decides that she has had enough from Jaydayne when she stands on her feet CALLING TO THE CROWD THAT SHE’S ABOUT TO GO FOR THE PURPLE REIGN! Jaydayne grabs the middle rope and tries to pick himself up WITH ARIA SPRINTING TOWARDS THE ROPES TO COME IN FOR THE BICYCLE SUPERKICK! JAYDAYNE LIVES! JAYDAYNE ROLLS THROUGH WITH ARIA HITTING THE ROPES BEFORE HE HOOKS HER BY THE WAIST FOR THE GERMAN SUPLEX! YEEESSSSSS!

Mark Stephens: JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON STILL HAS THE FIRE IN HIS BELLY! ARIA JAXON WASN’T ABLE TO SECURE THE VICTORY AND NOW, SHE STARTS TO BE LIVID WITH THE FACT THAT SHE WAS A SECOND AWAY FROM BEING ABLE TO PUT HIM AWAY IN THIS MATCH!

ARIA STARTS TO REAR BACK WITH THE DRAGON SLEEPER TO CHOKE THE LIFE OUT OF HER CHALLENGER AS HE ATTEMPTS TO REACH OUT WITH HIS ARM TOWARDS THE ROPES! Aria keeps squeezing around the neck with every intention of making sure that this is over and to be honest, I hate to say that this could be over! The referee starts to slide in and try to make sure that he has been knocked out! He… he…

Daniel Wilson: HOW? THERE’S NO WAY! JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON WAS ABLE TO REACH WITH HIS LEG TO THE BOTTOM ROPE OF THE RING AS ARIA JAXON IS ALMOST SERIOUSLY ABOUT TO BREAK DOWN FROM THIS! She can’t believe that someone was able to find a way to survive from The Midnight Zero!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Just Another Hero” by Yuki Hayashi plays in the background with Jaydayne Pendragon pulls himself to his feet, hobbling around from the broken state that he is in, with the referee handing him the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship.)

Saya Takada: Here is your winner… AND NNNNEEEEEWWWWWW SSW PUUURRRROOOORRRREESSSUUUUU HHHHEEAVVVYYYWEEEIIIGGGHHHTTT CHHHAAMMPPPIIIOOOONNNN… JAAAYYYYDDAAAAYYYYNNNNEEEE PPPEEEENNNDDRRAGGGOOOONNNNN!!!

Mark Stephens: CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I ALMOST THOUGHT IT WOULDN’T BE POSSIBLE, BUT JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON HAS BECOME THE NEW SSW PURORESU HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! HE DEFIED THE ODDS TO BECOME THE HEAVEN’S ARENA CUP WINNER, HE FOUGHT VALIANTLY AGAINST THE TITANS OF THIS BUSINESS THAT TRIED TO DERAIL HIM, AND NOW HE HAS DETHRONED THE QUEEN OF STRONG STYLE WRESTLING FROM HER SEAT OF POWER! PENDRAGON IS YOUR NEW CHAMPION!

Daniel Wilson: I can’t believe this… Aria Jaxon has lost the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship? What does this mean? How is Strong Style Wrestling going to survive without her reigning as our champion! She was the best of the company and now, she has been brought down by this man that I can assure you will be nothing more than a flop with that championship in his possession!

Mark Stephens: Be bitter about it all you want, Daniel… but there is a new champion that runs Strong Style Wrestling AND HIS NAME IS JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON! This is where our show ends for Domination and with a hopeful note for the future of the company! We hope that everyone has enjoyed this event and we will see you FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD SERIES!

(As soon as Jaydayne Pendragon is able to retrieve the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship from the referee, we see the flock of Shoot Nation members make their way down the ramp to join their leader. Vanessa Santiago, Shinati Mizarki, Steven Cassidy, The Apparition, Belle Kingsley, and finally… Masanori Kawada, they all enter the ring to join their leader with Kawada and Shinati both lifting Jaydayne on their shoulders allow him to celebrate! As he raises the championship high in the air with a smile on his face, a shower of the golden confetti starts to fall from the rafters like rain as the entire crowd claps in applause for the newly-crowned champion. Jaydayne places the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder and when he does, he looks out with a smile on his face towards the stage to see Aria Jaxon holding her head in anger. With The Phantom Troupe starting to come out in support of the fallen queen, she screams in frustration before leaving with them, Shoot Nation celebrating this tremendous victory as the camera fades to black… )
