We open up on Hollywood BLVD to a aerial drone shot moving through the crowd. Large metal trusts have been built on the boulevard and the wrestling ring is set up in the center of an intersection at Hollywood Boulevard and Highland. Fans have seating engulfed by the L.A. County Police cruisers and barriers set in place to keep them feeling safe from any traffic and available to view the show without an issues. For the next four blocks in any direction the streets are blocked off, causing enormous amounts of traffic throughout the city. CWD does not care about all that, as the fans are all wearing CWD Merchandise and screaming at the top of their lungs. We move to the announce position where Kelsi Minx and Ethan Roerich are dressed in casual garbs and wearing headsets at the best seat in the house, ringside.
MINX: IT'S TRUE! IT'S TRUE! INDUBITABLY... IT IS TRUE.
ASTIN: Yes folks, the bash on the boulevard is infact on the boulevard and the city of Los Angeles is pissed! But we at CWD don't give a damn about that because tonight, we have a blockbuster event set to end around one in the morning and the fans are going to get their moneys worth for sure!
MINX: We have three championships on the line this evening, one of them being the final round of the Hollywood Honors Cup!
ASTIN: Deathwish, Britney Anders, and Troy Maddox will battle in a sudden death triple threat match where the first to pick up a pinfall or submission will be crowned the first ever Hollywood Honors Champion.
MINX: Tonight's card is one of our more competitive cards in my opinion. We have Team A.T.A.R.I. and this new team of Aiden Deimos and Viduus Morta, and we will also witness a battle royal to discover who will be the first to get a shot at the first Hollywood Honors Champion this evening.
ASTIN: I think Britney takes home the prize.
MINX: Anders? Yuck!
ASTIN: What? She's on a red hot trail right now.
MINX: Yeah. If that's what you would like to call it.
ASTIN: What else would you call it?
MINX: Anyways, we also have Melody Marshall returning as the special guest referee for tonight's Last Man Standing match that will feature Kendrick Kross and Equinox finally, settling the score they have had lately and the winner will have to defend that championship against Melody Marshall!
ASTIN: Why is she such a big deal?
MINX: Seriously Nigel?
ASTIN: She is no Britney Anders that's for sure.
MINX: Anyways. We will also witness the Titaness and the Demoness settle a score that began shortly after Maki claimed the California Pride Championship. Tonight one of these ladies will walk out with the gold and my pick is Melissa Aki.
ASTIN: The Titaness is a force. I'd like to see how our champion pulls off this one.
Johnny Bonecrusher takes a seat at ringside before the heavy bassline and the EDM sounds of AFK begin to blast over the loud speakers and the fans give a mixed reaction to the arrival of Mr. Roerich and Jack Callahan. The two walk down the velvet carpet used to create an aisle way leading from the bottom of the three step staircase attached to the front of the stage all the way to the ring. They enter and ask for a microphone immediately.
ASTIN: The chairman is here Minx! What did we do to earn this treat?!
MINX: It's not that much of a treat you know.
MR. ROERICH: Good evening fans of the CWD and welcome to the Bash on the Boulevard!
The fans roar with excitement.

MR. ROERICH: Thank you. Thank you. We are greatful for all the support and love and we have given everyone a bundle basket with free merchandise and I can see just about everyone is wearing a bash on the boulevard t-shirt and I couldn't be more thankful for you, the fans. You keep us going. You keep is thriving strong and without you we would be nothing, so we are happy to give back to the world. All money received from tonight's proceedings will go to the CWD Charity launching in a matter of days and we will be helping the community on Skid Row by providing them with hygiene products and food. This could not be possible without the help and dedication of you.
The fans applaud Mr. Roerich and themselves all at once.
MR. ROERICH: Now, tonight, we will be birthing our California Republic Division and we will also be crowning our first ever Hollywood Honors Champion! We've waited almost a month now to see who takes home this beautiful belt and tonight we will find out. We will also, hold a number one contender's over the top rope battle royal where the winner will go on to face either Hide "Deathwish" Yamazaki, Troy Maddox or Britney Anders.
The boos rain down at the sound of the name, Britney Anders. Roerich smirks.
MR. ROERICH: And speaking of Britney Anders, let's not forget that there is still twenty thousand dollars hanging over her head. A bounty that has nearly been cashed in but one man, a hired gun, Shoju Kota has been going against the grain. Kota, as dumb as you are for taking money from Kendrick Kross, it'll only be a matter of time before you realize it. The CWD is MY house. I make the rules and if you show up tonight and get involved in the Hollywood Honors Championship match you will be suspended indefinitely and fined $85,000. That my friend is a promise.
MINX: The boss is laying down the law.
ASTIN: He has to every once in a while.
MR. ROERICH: And that goes for any one, actually! I'm cleaning things up around here. On the advice of the very wise, Jack Callahan, Cee...Dubya..is in need of a little more authority and we can consider Jack Callahan as CWD's Chief Advisor of Operations, of the C.A.O.
ASTIN: Oh hell no!
MINX: There goes your promotion.
ASTIN: This is bullshit.
MINX: Wait.
Mr. Roerich raises the microphone to his lips once again but lowers it as he sees Nigel Astin stomping up the ring steps and entering the ring.
MINX: Literal smoke is coming from Nigel's ears right now. I'm weak.
Kelsi's laughter is heard as Nigel steps in Callahan's face and Mr. Roerich places an arm between the two.
MR. ROERICH: Calm down Nigel. Folks it's a serious battle of competition in every aspect of the California Wrestling Division. These two have been in the runnings for this job and in my opinion they both are great choices but for now, Nigel, you're the voice of CWD not the brains. So for now, get back to the announce table and call the matches like you have no other option.
Nigel Astin steps back and leaves the ring, never taking his eyes off of Jack Callahan.
MR. ROERICH: Tonight... is a night of changes. I will fine and suspend ANY ONE who interferes in a championship match, of any kind. There is a lack of respect in the CWD and we are going to fix that. There will be 20 second count outs. These are just a few of the changes that are happening, starting tonight. Callahan and myself will be watching closely because the Immortal Kingdom Crown is only around the corner and we will be looking to make selections.
Mr. Roerich drops the microphone and the music begins to play once again as he and Callahan make their way up the aisle toward the stage.
MINX: I don't even know what to say.
ASTIN: We don't say anything. We just riot.
MINX: Oh poor baby. Are you upset?
ASTIN: No. I am livid. Callahan is an idiot!
MINX: Sounds like Nigel needs a gatorade and a commercial break.

The setting is dark, dreary and unfamiliar. We hear crickets chirp and rodents scurry along in the bushes. A man can be seen in a dark black cloak off in the distance, kneeling before two other men. Finally catching up to them after seeing the stars littered amongst the skies and that these three men are in some sort of open field, it is revealed that the two men standing upright are CWD newcomers Aiden Deimos and Viduus Morta. The man in the cloak has his head down while a long, thick knife visibly glistens in Viduus' right hand.
AIDEN DEIMOS: Raise your head infidel.
The man raises his head, revealing it to be the recently defeated Dax Beckett as the man before them.
VIDUUS MORTA: It is time.
Viduus hands the knife to Dax who takes it and begins cutting open his left palm. He then takes the freshly cut hand and smears a bloody handprint right, dead smack in the middle of his face.
VIDUUS MORTA: You are no longer the mortal known as Dax Beckett. You are now nothing but a Disciple to the cause. You now walk the path to Salvation serving us…serving him!
The wind whips and swirls up around Dax. Embers begin to form in the wind surrounding him causing a small, tornado-like fire to twirl around Dax and then it disappears as quickly as it came. Aiden and Viduus stand there, both not phased in the slightest by what they've just witnessed. Zooming into Dax’s face, he looks back up towards them, the bloody handprint has now dried up on his face due to the heat from the flames and his eyes are now completely whited out, no pupils or color in the what so ever.
Disciple of Salvation: I live to walk the path.
Cut to static.

"Voices" by Motionless In White begins playing as Jack Clarke makes his way out. He runs towards the ring and slides through the bottom rope then popping up to his feet. He signals to the crowd to hush. As the crowd returns the hush sign.. he removes his sweatshirt and tosses to the corner was the music fades.
ASTIN: One of these four will leave with an opportunity to fight for the Hollywood Honors Championship.
MINX: I'm betting big on Jazmin Davis. She's got a lot of promise.
"Nice for What" by Drake begins to play and Jazmin Davis appears at the top of the ramp. She tosses her arms up in the air, catching a positive reaction in return. Jaz smiles, the warm welcome seeming to grow on her. She begins to make her way down to the ring, stretching an arm out to slap hands with the fans as she passes. Trotting up the steps, she winks cockily to the crowd before climbing in to prepare for the match.
Smoke fills the stage and a single neon green spotlight shoots up from underneath it. Within that light is Kota, standing with his back to the ring. Shoju turns around and the smoke is blown away from the stage as the arena lights turn into the same green as the one Kota was standing in. Kota walks down the ramp, stopping halfway down to lift both hands above his head, his wrists overlapping each other as he points with both forefingers to the sky. He proceeds to head down the ring and leap onto the apron, the camera positions right next to him, looking up at him from the floor. Kota looks down at the camera and winks before flipping over the top rope and landing in the centre of the ring, dropping to a knee and cracking his neck.
MINX: This match is holding one half of the Fempire, we can expect some heavy team work from these two ladies.
"Till The World Ends" by Britney Spears is heard on the sound system. Talia comes out from behind the curtain. When she gets to the ramp, shower fireworks reign down on her. She walks down the ramp with her hips moving back and forth and she is swinging her arms. She gets on the apron and enters the ring between the ropes. After that she walks over to the ropes on the right side and stands on the first rope. She then bends over and looks at the fans with a smile on her face. She then gets off the ropes and walks to one side of the ring and waits for the officials to start the match.
We begin with Talia Areano and Jazmin Davis basically teaming up against Jack Clarke and Shoju Kota. Areano brings Clarke down quickly with a smaller takeover. Davis flies in and hits Clarke with a dropkick meanwhile Areano and Kota battle in the corner. Kota tries tossing Areano over the top rope but is having a tough time. Davis arrives and clovers Kota with an ax handle smash before slamming him via a Russian legsweep. Areano climbs to the top rope.
MINX: Talia Areano taking some high risk.
ASTIN: That's dangerous in this match for sure.
Jazmin Davis blocks a duplex attempt by Clarke before executing a suplex of her own. Talia Areano leaps high into the air landing a frog splash on Jack Clarke moments after.
MINX: She lands it!
ASTIN: The camera flashes were intense and so was the moment itself.
MINX: If there were pinfalls in this match she would surely pick up a three count.
Talia and Jazmin connect with superkicks at the same time, sending Shoju Kota flying backwards into the corner. They focus on Jack Clarke and as a team they toss him out of the ring, eliminating him from the battle royal.
MINX: Clarke is gone and we are down to three!
ASTIN: Originally this match up was set for five competitors and we are now down to only three in a short amount of time.
Shoju Kota creeps in behind Jazmin Davis and dumps her over the rope, along with Areano as well but both ladies land on the ring apron and Shoju Kota never notices as his back is turned.
MINX: Turn around!
Shoju turns around and is hit by a springboard crossbody from Jazmin Davis and she quickly rolls out of the way and Talia Areano flies in, landing a springboard double foot stomp to the sternum of Shoju Kota. Talia Areano pops up to her feet again and signals for help from her stablemate. The two ladies get a running start and they go to throw Kota over the top rope but in some odd moment Jazmin Davis flies out with Shoju Kota and both are dangling from the top rope and their legs kicking around in mid air.
MINX: What is their plan from here?!
ASTIN: Chicken fight!
MINX: What?
Jazmin and Kota begin kicking at one another while hanging onto the ring rope. Areano watches as Davis kicks Kota in the face just before he falls down to the ground outside, and seconds later Talia Areano kicks Jazmin Davis' hand and Davis fall to the outside next, eliminating both competitors.
DING! DING! DING!
ASTIN: Talia Areano is the number one contender!
MINX: She will move on to get her shot at the next Wrestling Clinic.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =The green logo for Anaquin Adams begins to play as "Thought Contagion" by Muse begins to play across the arena. As the globe on the logo spins, Anaquin Adams steps out onto the stage. She is most definitely not dressed as she was during the last show, wearing a Muse t-shirt, jeans and boots. Her hair has been dyed green and pulled back into a ponytail. She grins towards the fans as she makes her way down to the ring, however most definitely not dressed to compete. She's wearing a sling on her arm as she steps up the ringsteps and walks the apron, raising her good hand into the air before stepping into the ring.
LYOTO SILVA: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to California Wrestling Division, "The Universal Superstar" Anaquin Adams!
She walks over and takes a microphone from the ring announcer as the music fades out and she glances to the fans who have filled the hall into overflowing.
ANAQUIN ADAMS: It's great to be back in California!
The fans cheer.
ANAQUIN ADAMS: The last time I was here, I was dressed a little differently. Acted a little differently and was most certainly a little different. You see, a few months ago I went through a traumatic experience at my previous employment and make no bones about it, I hold them no ill will for what happened to me, but the incident changed me and not for the best. And no, it wasn't drugs or alcohol or anything like that. I found myself addicted to revenge. Even after I beat the man who cheap shotted me, rubbed my face into the concrete floor and cut my hair – I wanted more.
The crowd is quieting down some as she seems to be speaking from the heart.
ANAQUIN ADAMS: Eventually, I found myself on top of a cell, trying to retain my championship a couple of weeks ago. After being given a move, the momentum of that move rolled me to the side of the cage and off I fell, crashing to the floor below. It could have been worse, but I'm lucky. I separated my shoulder and obtained a concussion. It was my last match with the promotion and I went in seeking revenge for something I shouldn't have. I see that now and I realize that the monster that I thought I was, I most certainly was not.
She pauses for a moment, collecting her thoughts before she continues.
ANAQUIN ADAMS: So, when I arrived for my first time here in CWD, I took it upon myself in an ill-conceived rage to attack someone who had done nothing to me. To make a statement where no statement needed to be made. And I want to make amends for that tonight. I would like Troy Maddox to come to the ring so I can offer him a sincere apology. I know he has a match later tonight and I'm not trying to mess with that, I just would like to get this off my chest so
I can start here in CWD with a clean slate. So please come on down.
"Devil's Angel " by Twista began to play as Troy Maddox walks out from the back. He motions for his music to be cut. It stops as he stands at the top of the ramp looking at Anaquin. The fans cheered Maddox on as he walked toward the ring. His speed picked up as he rolled into the ring and stood face to face with the person who attacked him. He backed up getting a mic and pointed at Anaquin.
TROY MADDOX: This some type trick ain't it. I know you're not the crazy bitch that painted my face in blood. I want to know what's going on around here. And I want to right now. Why am I out here?
Anaquin seems to understand his trepidation as he isn’t sure what to make of all of this.
ANAUQIN ADAMS: Let me put your mind at ease. The Anaquin Adams you saw last time just wasn’t quite the Anaquin Adams you see before you today. I could go into the entire elaborate story but I’ve spent more than my share of time in the last few months inside an insane asylum so how about we just say that I’m feeling much more myself as of late and I wanted to issue you a sincere apology for my actions last week.
She holds up her arm, still in a sling.
ANAQUIN ADAMS: As you can see, I’m not in any condition to wrestle or I’d be out here tonight fighting the good fight. But the docs won’t clear me to compete but next show, if it’ll make you feel better I’ll be more than happy to give you a shot at me to make up for what happened.
Troy stood there watching her. He didn't take his eyes off her the entire time she spoke. Once she finished the crowd started up for him to do something. He looked her up and down seeing the sling on her arm.
TROY MADDOX: I know everyone in here wants to see me do something. I'm a lot of things but knocking out someone that can't defend themselves isn't one of them. Troy dropped the mic as a chorus of boos kicked up from the CWD faithful. He made sure to keep an eye on Anaquin as he exited the ring and walked up the ramp to the back.
Anaquin watches him curiously as he walks to the back and she turns to the crowd and gives them a nod.
ANAQUIN ADAMS: I guess he doesn’t know me very well. I guess I’ll see him in a couple of weeks.
Muse plays again as Anaquin exits the ring and heads up the ramp herself.
MINX: Well that was rather... odd.
ASTIN: I hate to interrupt you, but I’m being told that - oh, yup, here he comes! Sullivan Aimes is on his way to once again have a chat with The #1 Hit-Maker Johnny Bonecrusher!

ASTIN: Yes, he does indeed work here, but who knows what goes on in the mind of the veteran of nearly two decades.
MINX: So… he works here… but what does he do?
ASTIN: I- uhhh, no time for that, we’re going to Sullivan now!
And sure enough, Sullivan Aimes stands on the other side of the barricade and next to Johnny Bonecrusher, who’s surrounded by fans holding up signs such as “JBC + CWD = ratings” and “One more match, Johnny!”
SULLIVAN AIMES: Now Johnny, the fans are getting impatient and are excited to know if you’ve finally come to a decision as to who in the California Wrestling Division are you teaming up with!
JOHNNY BONECRUSHER: Well hey, Sullivan, I’m excited too! Tonight could very well be the night all is revealed!
The fans pop, and even Sullivan seems stoked!

Date: Not today (Aka Recorded Earlier)
Place: International Center for the History of Electronic Games (It’s a thing, google it)
Time: Now.
Team ATARI is on assignment, a side mission by The Powers That Be and with that mission signed, sealed, delivered and in the bag, The group looks to blow off some steam and what else is there to do is Western NY?
Flashback 2 while commanding the MCC found this little hole in the wall and decided that it would be a good spot for her boys to let loose and relax some before their match at Bash on the Boulevard and their battle against Viduus Morta and Aiden Deimos. A duo that has had 2600 up at night, flipping and flopping in his bunk on how just evil this group is.
2600: I think they kill cats.
FLASHBACK 2: They do not silly.
As they tour the International Center for the History of Electronic Games 2600 can’t help but keep talking about the upcoming battle with Flashback 2 while the 2 are holding hands. 7800 meanwhile is so nerding it up, taking pictures with his Hasselblad SWC/M M 5930 camera of rare games, platforms and everything that is on display. 2600 caught him taking a selfie with a game……..
2600: I read the file that was sent to us Flashback 2. These two Yamauchi’s are just pure evil no gooders. If not cats, then dogs. They are definitely killing dogs.
FLASHBACK 2: 2600….
Flashback 2 looks around quickly to make no one's ears dropping.
FLASHBACK 2: Sweetie, they are not Satan in sheep's clothing. They are not killing dogs, or gerbils, birds, sheep, cows, or even mice. I heard you last night in your bunk. They put their pants on like you and me. Well, maybe not like us, but most likely like Babsy. It’s just a thing….
2600: I don’t know Flashback 2. I really do believe that they have come from hell. I would not put it past Yamauchi to recruit in the deepest darkest depths of hell. Yamauchi will stop at nothing to defeat us, and to make sure he gets his hands on the Energon Device before we do.
Flashback 2 looks at 2600 with a look on her face that says “Come on now, you can’t believe that.” and before she can say thing, 7800 comes up behind them, throws his arms over their shoulders and looks at both of them.
7800: Dilly dilly!
2600: What’s this? The answers are in a book?
7800 nods and smirks.
7800: Dilly!
2600: Really? Where is this book? We have to get it!
7800 holds his hand up.
7800: Dilly Dilly Dilly dilly dilly, dilly.
2600: GET OUT! YOU HAVE HAD IT ALL ALONG!
7800 slides the backpack off of his shoulder and taps on it.
7800: Dilly dilly! Dilly.
2600: 7800! Flashback 2! Emergency Mission Meeting!
7800 points over at a conference room.
7800: Dilly dilly.
2600: This will work!
A Couple of Minutes Later…….
Flashback 2 and 2600 are seated in the front row as 7800 is up at the podium as he unzips his backpack and pulls out the book, The book on how to defeat pure evil in CWD….
He sets the book down in front of him on the podium and slides white gloves on, to keep the oils from his skin from staining the pages. He removes his reading glasses and slides them on his nose. 2600 looks like a kid on Christmas morning sitting in front of the tree looking at all of the presents wondering what is in them as mom and dad get their cup of coffee…..
7800: Dilly dilly! Dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly, dilly dilly dilly dilly . Dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly, dilly dilly, dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly!
2600 slides to the edge of his seat. 7800 places his hand on his forehead as if he’s forgetting something.
7800: Dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly. Dilly dilly. Dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly, dilly dilly dilly dilly, dilly dilly, dilly dilly? Dilly dilly!
Holding his hand out as if he just remembered what he was thinking.
7800: Dilly.
7800 nods. 2600 is wide eyed.
7800: Dilly. Dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly? Dilly! Dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly dilly, dilly dilly dilly dilly, dilly, dilly, dilly!
7800 says while slamming his fist on the podium.
2600 leaps to his feet!
7800: Dilly! Dilly! Dilly! Dilly! Dilly! Dilly! Dilly! Dilly! Dilly! Dilly! Dilly! Dilly!
2600: THAT’S FUCKING RIGHT 7800!!! WHY DIDN’T I EVER THINK OF THAT! LET’S GO GET THESE TURKEYS!
2600 and 7800 high five each other, they hug, which breaks a protocol or two but whatever. They storm out of the room, two men on a mission on how to defeat pure evil that has infected the CWD!
Flashback 2 stands up, confused and steps up to the podium. She picks up 7800’s book.
Flashback 2: What? The Princess Bride held all of the answers this whole time? Who knew.

Cameras take us to an alley nearby where we find a small office set up. A desk, a lamp, some book shelves, and a set of chairs. To the right of all thus garbage thrown out by someone but strategicly placed are Melody Marshall, Ethan Roerich and Jack Callahan.
MR. ROERICH: So can you do it?
MELODY MARSHALL: It's not exactly my style.
JACK CALLAHAN: We need you to be like an enforcer around here. Keep people like Shoju Kota from causing problems in our affairs.
MELODY MARSHALL: I'm not a hired gun.
MR. ROERICH: We aren't asking you to be. We are asking you to show up when it is necessary and to enforce the law. And we need you to do that tonight in the last man standing match.
JACK CALLAHAN: We also need for you to keep a close eye out for anything suspicious. Expect Britney or Shoju to arrive at any moment.
MR. ROERICH: You're being paid as if you competed tonight, and this is only an appearance, and that's because we know who you are and what you bring to the table. Tonight is going to be--
Roerich notices someone approaching off screen and Melody rolls her eyes immediately. This can only mean one thing. Britney Anders arrives with a disgusted look on her face.
BRITNEY ANDERS: Yuck! This is your choice for an office? It's atrocious in here.
Britney notices Melody Marshall like an elephant in the room.
BRITNEY ANDERS: What a surprise seeing, Melody in here. Was she helping you plan out ways to screw me and Kendrick out of being the greatest names to ever grace a CWD ring?
MELODY MARSHALL: I want to punch her.
MR. ROERICH: Not now.
JACK CALLAHAN: What so you want Britney?
BRITNEY ANDERS: The call time was 3 today correct?
JACK CALLAHAN: Yes. Why?
BRITNEY ANDERS: Well, Hide Yamazaki arrived at 3:03, I know because I was near the sign in room minding my business when he strolled in three minutes late.
JACK CALLAHAN: So, what's your point?
BRITNEY ANDERS: He should not be allowed to compete.
JACK CALLAHAN: Do you have any idea how bad traffic is--
BRITNEY ANDERS: So you're still going to allow him to compete? You guys are awful. Dirty scoundrels. Rotten to the core.
BRITNEY storms away still shouting names as she leaves. Melody Mr. Roerich and Callahan go back to their conversation. The cameras take us elsewhere.

TAG TEAM MATCH
-vs- 
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
MINX: Up next folks we have a California Republic Divisional match between two of our most stand out teams. This promises to be an excellent showing. For the first time tonight we will see the clash of two of our best teams and most known teams.
ASTIN: Salvation is a small army of terror, I'm not sure the four figure duo, 2600 and 7800 will be able to make it past Salvation.
MINX: They give me the creeps.
ASTIN: I bet they...WHOA?!!
A black out happens on the entire street for a moment and then all power comes back on and Team Atari is fighting in the aisle with Viduus Morta and Aiden Deimos.
MINX: The fight has already begun!
ASTIN: What happened with the power though?
Aiden Deimos knees 7800 in the guy before throwing him into the guard rail. Deimos chokes 7800 with a boot meanwhile 2600 and Viduus take their battle into the ring. 2600 moves quickly and connects with a hand spring, springboard back elbow, knokking Viduus down to the canvas. 2600 runs to the corner, and steps up to the top turnbuckle before leaping to the outside and landing a corkscrew body plancha onto Aiden Deimos on the outside.
MINX: This match had an explosive start to it!
2600 and 7800 grab Deimos and throw him into the guard rail before sliding into the ring and going after Viduus Morta who is in the ring waiting. Viduus hits 2600 with a clothesline but is taken down quickly by 7800's german suplex.
ASTIN: Who is the legal participant in this match?
MINX: No clue.
The official orders 2600 to his corner and while he does this Aiden Deimos enters the ring and the two on one assault happens in Salvation's corner. Viduus chokes 7800 in the corner with his foot while Aiden stomps away at 7800's midsection. Viduus steps onto the ring apron and leaves Deimos to deal with 7800. The ref returns his focus to the action in the ring and Deimos goes for a tilt a whirl slam, but 7800 transitions the move into a head scissors out of nowhere. 7800 races toward his corner but is met by Deimos running strike! Aiden makes the cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...BREAK COUNT!...
2600 flies in and kicks Aiden Deimos in the head, breaking up the count. Viduus steps between the ropes and takes 2600's head off with a running yakuza kick.
ASTIN: Oh my good ness! He rattled his brains for sure.
MINX: 2600 may be saying dilly dilly after that one.
ASTIN: I wonder why one can talk and the other can not.
MINX: It's like the 3rd wonder of the world or something I believe.
The ref orders Viduus out of the ring and Viduus just shoves the referee to the side before pulling 2600 off the canvas and throwing him across the ring. Aiden Deimos and Morta focus on 2600 in the corner and 7800 takes the opportunity to creep up behind Deimos and pull him into a school boy. With Viduus distracted the ref counts the fall,
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
Aiden Deimos grabs 7800's arm immediately and clobbers him via the wristlock clothesline, turning him inside out in the process. Viduus spikes 2600 with a DDT!
MINX: Team Atari picks up the victory, but--OOOOOHH GOSH!
Aiden Deimos joins Viduus in the corner, stomping away at 2600 in the corner. A creepy looking clown sprints to ringside and Aiden and Viduus stop the assault. The clown tells them, "He's Here. He's waiting." and Viduus and Aiden leave the ring immediately and follow the clown.

Cameras take us to the trailer lot, set up for all talent to rest up before stepping into guerilla position to prepare for their match. We focus on the FEMPIRE trailer where Troy Maddox is stretching next to the always gorgeous, Mischa Killings.
MISCHA KILLINGS: You gotta silence that loud mouth bitch tonight Troy. We're counting on you. Plus I know you need twenty grand.
Troy sat in a chair stareing at the wall. He heard what Mischa said and nodded his head.
TROY MADDOX: Ay, truth be told Mischa. At this point Im so ready to kick this chick in the mouth and take the title. I can careless about that twenty grand. This will be done for fun.
MISCHA KILLINGS: Fun eh? You? I thought I'd never see the day. You're usually more business than fun. But I can see the fun in shoving a foot in Britney's mouth. What's your plan for Deathwish? Buddy is a legit threat.
TROY MADDOX: I admit Deathwish is a wild card. I dont know much about him but I know one thing neither of us want to see Brittany win. Enemy of my ememy and all that shit. For now I only see that Hollywood Honors Title sitting in front of me.
MISCHA KILLINGS: Bring it home.

The first few seconds of The Mob Rules begins to play, and once “Whoooooahh, come onnn!” is heard, Hide Yamazaki bursts through the curtains, swinging his chains and forcing out a sadistic-sounding laugh. The swinging of the chains continues as he makes his way down the aisle, showing no regard as to whether he might strike a fan or not. Yamazaki throws his chains into the ring with reckless abandon, inciting the referee to shout at him, which accomplishes nothing. He then enters the ring in that staggering way The Great Muta does.
The lights shut off as a flashing pink, green, and red spotlight hits the top of the entranceway.
"IT'S BRITNEY, BITCH!" then fades into 'No More Tears To Cry'.
The spotlight freezes on a life-sized doll box as Britney Anders steps out of it and marches to the ring confidently as the fans boo her. As she reaches the ring steps, she demands ringside crew members hold her hand and help her up the steps. As she reaches the ring apron, she shouts at he referee to hold the ropes for her as she enters the ring. She struts to the middle of the ring as the lights and music shut off simultaneously. When the lights come back on, Britney is posing in the middle of the ring with an ear to ear grin on her face, ready to compete.
ASTIN: I've been waiting for this one. Britney's crowning moment is about to come true.

MINX: Could you get your lips any closer to her backside? Come on.
Troy Maddox makes his way to the ring as M.I.A. plays over the speakers.
The three competitors are keeping distance between each other as they all glare at one another. Troy grins before he charges towards Britney Anders, who screams before sliding under the bottom rope and out of the ring. Troy kicks at the bottom rope and shouts for her to get back into the ring, but behind him, Deathwish is stalking. Hide wraps both arms around the midsection of Troy Maddox and throws him backwards with an impactful release german suplex. Britney is laughing on the outside, pointing at the fallen Maddox with glee.
MINX: Britney the coward, are any of us really that surprised?
ASTIN: Coward? It's called being smart. How would you feel if you had an unfair bounty placed on your head throughout this entire Hollywood Honors competition? Would you not be calculated in your approach?
MINX: She has a boyfriend, you have no chance. You can stop kissing up to her now.
With Britney still on the outside, Hide drops a pair of elbow drops onto the chest of Troy Maddox. As he attempts a third, Troy moves out of the way. The fans come alive for Troy showing his resiliency early. Hide is able to make it to his feet quickly, but the Devil's Angel drops him with a spinning heel kick. Troy then looks to the outside of the ring where Anders is standing with her back to the ring apron while shouting at a fan. Maddox see's his opportunity and charges, hitting a baseball slide right to the back of her head that sends CWD's resident Doll down to the floor on the outside of the ring. The fans erupt as Maddox eats it up, shouting "Gotcha ass!" and pointing at her.
ASTIN: Speaking of calculated, that was a calculated move now on Troy's part. See? I'm an equal opportunity praise singer.
MINX: Will Britney fake another ankle injury now? She looks like she's crying!
The camera gets a close up of Anders as she holds the back of her head with her best 'cry face' on, but not a single tear is running down her face. Troy steps one leg through the middle rope to attempt to leave the ring to attack Britney, but Hide grabs him by the back of the head. Troy turns around and delivers a big time forearm smash to Hide's head which stumbles the big man. Troy then bounces off the middle rope and hits a springboard dropkick, sending Deathwish to the mat. Troy hurries over and makes a cover.
1...
...2...
KICKOUT!
MINX: It's going to take more than that to keep Deathwish down.
ASTIN: Of course, but look at this! Britney is courageously entering the ring! Troy better look out!
Britney Anders slides back into the ring with lightning quickness showing no signs of any lingering ankle injury and drops a double fist pound to the back of Troy's head as he tries to stand up. The fans begin booing their lungs out as Britney turns towards them and blows a kiss with a wide grin on her face. She turns back around and Troy is on his feet, towering over her. Britney stands on her tippy toes and unleashes a slap to his chin, which Troy shakes off before being attacked from behind again by Deathwish who nearly takes off Troy's head. The referee looks at the fallen Troy as Britney connects with a timely and perfectly executed kick below the belt that drops Hide to the mat. Britney's eyes shoot open as she senses the opportunity and goes for a cover with the ref confused on what happened as he missed the low blow.
1...
2...
KICKOUT!
Britney then spots a still fallen Troy. She hurries over and attempts to pin him.
1...
KICKOUT!
Britney pounds the mat in frustration, screaming out for the referee to count faster.
MINX: So she cheated, and now she's throwing a temper tantrum? And THIS is who we're supposed to wish for as our first ever Hollywood Honors champion?
ASTIN: Look at her, she embodies HOLLYWOOD. And she's the only competitor on her feet right now.
Britney slaps the back of Troy's head as he crawls towards his feet. She shouts at him that his 'second chance means nothing' and that he should bow at her Hollywood feet. Troy's face reddens as he grabs both of her legs out from under her, tripping her up. He them attempts to mount her and begins throwing wild punches which ignite the fans and bring them to their feet. Britney is able to scramble out from under him and under the bottom rope once again, saving herself from the onslaught that Troy was unleashing on her.
MINX: AND AGAIN she bails! Troy has been impressive tonight. I can't wait until he finally gets his hands on her.
ASTIN: But what about Yamazaki? He's back on his feet again.
Troy turns around and is grabbed for a belly to belly suplex, one that finishes matches regularly for Deathwish.
ASTIN: There it is! The Devil's Angel just got hit with what Deathwish calls THE DEVIL! This one could be over!
1...
...2..
WAIT A MINUTE!
Britney Anders comes from out of nowhere with a frog splash from the top turnbuckle, breaking the count at two!
ASTIN: Look at Britney! What a risky way to break up the pinfall.
MINX: Risky? It's the only thing she could have done.
Hide and Britney both make it to their feet and Hide begins walking towards Britney slowly, almost stalking her, as she walks backwards towards the corner. She stops when her back hits the turnbuckle, her eyes widening in fear. In a last ditch effort, she again throws a right foot forward for a low kick, but this time Deathwish catches it. Smirking he shakes his other finger no, as Britney then steps forward quickly and begins scratching and ripping at his face!
ASTIN: THERE IT IS! Checking for Plastic! She's using those perfect fingernails as a weapon!
MINX: And she's breaking the rules at the same time, great job ref.
Deathwish is able to pull away from Anders, falling to the mat and feeling at his face, but Troy is back on his feet. He kicks Britney in the stomach as the fans erupt. He sets her up and drops her with the Total Eclipse! All he has to do is crawl over and cover her but he can't! All three competitors are down in the middle of the ring with the Hollywood Honors championship sitting on a table at ringside, practically daring them to get up and continue fighting for it.
ASTIN: This is anyone's match at this point!
MINX: Any of these three can take home the belt right now. Somebody... anybody, make a cover.
Troy Maddox crawls over to Britney and drapes an arm over her body,
...1!...
...2!...
...BREAK COUNT!...
Hide Yamazaki arrives and stomps on Troy Maddox's lower back before lifting him off the mat and tossing him out of the ring. Yamazaki grabs Britney Anders by the hair and throws her across the ring, forcing her to tumble into the corner. Troy Maddox grabs Yamazaki by the foot but Yamazaki kicks through the ropes and forces his way to freedom before deciding to slide out of the ring anyways. Hide Yamazaki and Troy Maddox exchange blows but Yamazaki gets the upper hand with his strikes wielding more power behind them. Yamazaki connects with a powerful yakuza kick to the face that leaves Troy Maddox down on the outside. The fans go wild for this match and Bonecrusher looks on with a grin. Britney Anders comes flying between the ropes, landing a forearm into Yamazaki's face and her momentum forces him to smash into the guard rail. Britney Anders jumps up with tons of adrenaline.
BRITNEY ANDERS: IN HOLLYWOOD...THE HONOR IS MINE!
The fans boo Britney and she ignores it to focus on Troy Maddox is now risen to his feet. She marches forward and shoves him into the ring post before turning around and landing a standing dropkick to Deathwish.
ASTIN: Britney Anders is on a roll at the moment!
MINX: She has to keep this momentum. If any of these two are able to recoo--OH SCHUCKS!
Britney ducks under a lariat attempt from Yamazaki and Yamaki hits Troy Maddox instead, causing him to land a moonsault onto an invisible person. Britney stands in amazement, realizing that could of been her. Yamazaki charges toward Britney and Britney runs away, starting the chase around ring side.
MINX: What is this a game of tag?!
ASTIN: Britney is fast!
Britney, obviously more agile than Yamazaki takes a detour and slides under the ring. Yamazaki stops near the announce table confused, still trying to find out where Britney went. He shouts at the commentators, "Where is she?!" but the commentators do not respond. Yamazaki turns around and starts bullying fans, asking questions. He slaps pop corn out of a fans hand and shortly after he is met by a spinning heel kick from Troy Maddox!
ASTIN: Oh sheesh. This guy terrifies me. I don't know what to say.
MINX: You couldn't have just said she is under the ring?
ASTIN: We don't know that for sure. Is that really just a ring? Fucking creepy ass little midget goblins came sprinting out of there last event and I don't know how you were raised, but running midgets is something to fear.
Troy Maddox keeps the upper hand and moves the match back into the ring. Troy lands a punt kick to the side of the head and Yamazaki falls out cold on the canvas.
MINX: OH WOW! A random act of violence from Troy Maddox there!
ASTIN: Troy has this one in the bag now!
Maddox struggles to roll Yamazaki over, but when he does he makes the cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...BREAK COUNT!...
Britney Anders appears from under the ring and pulls the ref to the outside. When the ref lands, Britney drops down, favoring her ankle. The crowd erupt with boos.
MINX: Don't fall for it. Don't do it.
ASTIN: No this is real this time. She sprained it while running, which is why she decided to hide under the ring.
MINX: No, I don't believe that at all.
CWD FANS: BULL SHIT!.... BULL SHIT!.... BULL SHIT!... BRITNEY'S LYING!*CLAP, CLAP... CLAP, CLAP, CLAP* BULL SHIT!.... BULL SHIT!.... BULL SHIT!... BRITNEY'S LYING!*CLAP, CLAP...

Troy Maddox leans through the ropes and grabs a handful of Britney's hair and begins pulling her back into the ring. Britney shouts in fright at first, but quickly starts trying to fight back while complaining about her ankle. In a desperation moment Britney grabs a hold of Maddox's ears and drops down from the apron, forcing TM to releaser her after smashing his throat against the ring cable. Troy Maddox flies backward in pain clutching his throat. The ref slides in to check on Maddox, meanwhile Shoju Kota pops up in a sea of fans and hands Britney a pair of brass knuckles before disappearing.
MINX: WHAT THE HELL?!
Yamazaki catches Maddox and slams him via a high angle belly to belly suplex! Yamazaki makes the cover,
...1!...
...BREAK COUNT!...
MINX: ANDERS HAS THE BRASS KNUCKLES!
ASTIN: OUCH!
Britney punches Yamazaki in the balls with the brass knuckles and Yamazaki rolls away in pain. Britney makes the cover on Maddox,
...1!...
...2!....
ASTIN: BRITNEY IS GOING TO DO IT!
...3!...
LYOTO SILVA: Here is your winner... and the NEWWWWW! CWD HOLLYWOOD HONORS CHAMPION...BRITNEY ANDERS!!!!
MINX: I don't believe it.
ASTIN: Do you have any idea of what this means?!
MINX: We are going to be reminded of Britney's first ever reign as champion for years to come.
ASTIN: That too. But I was going to say, the Upper Echelon are running Hollywood legitimately at this point!
The referee raises Britney's hand in victory while Kendrick Kross slides into the ring with the Hollywood Honors Championship after snatching it away from the time keeper. While Kross puts the belt around Britney's waist, Britney notices the official glancing at her hand from time to time as the brass knuckles are still on her hand. Britney finally says something along the lines of, "What are you looking at?!" and the Official just steps away without causing any issues.
MINX: Well she's the champion, it took brass knuckles to do it.
ASTIN: What brass knuckles? That's a fashionable, trending thing that she does. It's apart of the attire.
MINX: Stop lying for her. We can clearly see what it is.
ASTIN: I bet it's a commitment ring between her and Kendrick.
MINX: Shut up.
Britney and Kendrick walk up the aisle while basking in the boos of the fans. Cameras cut elsewhere.

Troy Maddox crawls over to Britney and drapes an arm over her body,

Hide Yamazaki arrives and stomps on Troy Maddox's lower back before lifting him off the mat and tossing him out of the ring. Yamazaki grabs Britney Anders by the hair and throws her across the ring, forcing her to tumble into the corner. Troy Maddox grabs Yamazaki by the foot but Yamazaki kicks through the ropes and forces his way to freedom before deciding to slide out of the ring anyways. Hide Yamazaki and Troy Maddox exchange blows but Yamazaki gets the upper hand with his strikes wielding more power behind them. Yamazaki connects with a powerful yakuza kick to the face that leaves Troy Maddox down on the outside. The fans go wild for this match and Bonecrusher looks on with a grin. Britney Anders comes flying between the ropes, landing a forearm into Yamazaki's face and her momentum forces him to smash into the guard rail. Britney Anders jumps up with tons of adrenaline.
BRITNEY ANDERS: IN HOLLYWOOD...THE HONOR IS MINE!
The fans boo Britney and she ignores it to focus on Troy Maddox is now risen to his feet. She marches forward and shoves him into the ring post before turning around and landing a standing dropkick to Deathwish.
ASTIN: Britney Anders is on a roll at the moment!
MINX: She has to keep this momentum. If any of these two are able to recoo--OH SCHUCKS!
Britney ducks under a lariat attempt from Yamazaki and Yamaki hits Troy Maddox instead, causing him to land a moonsault onto an invisible person. Britney stands in amazement, realizing that could of been her. Yamazaki charges toward Britney and Britney runs away, starting the chase around ring side.
MINX: What is this a game of tag?!
ASTIN: Britney is fast!
Britney, obviously more agile than Yamazaki takes a detour and slides under the ring. Yamazaki stops near the announce table confused, still trying to find out where Britney went. He shouts at the commentators, "Where is she?!" but the commentators do not respond. Yamazaki turns around and starts bullying fans, asking questions. He slaps pop corn out of a fans hand and shortly after he is met by a spinning heel kick from Troy Maddox!
ASTIN: Oh sheesh. This guy terrifies me. I don't know what to say.
MINX: You couldn't have just said she is under the ring?
ASTIN: We don't know that for sure. Is that really just a ring? Fucking creepy ass little midget goblins came sprinting out of there last event and I don't know how you were raised, but running midgets is something to fear.
Troy Maddox keeps the upper hand and moves the match back into the ring. Troy lands a punt kick to the side of the head and Yamazaki falls out cold on the canvas.
MINX: OH WOW! A random act of violence from Troy Maddox there!
ASTIN: Troy has this one in the bag now!
Maddox struggles to roll Yamazaki over, but when he does he makes the cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...BREAK COUNT!...
Britney Anders appears from under the ring and pulls the ref to the outside. When the ref lands, Britney drops down, favoring her ankle. The crowd erupt with boos.
MINX: Don't fall for it. Don't do it.
ASTIN: No this is real this time. She sprained it while running, which is why she decided to hide under the ring.
MINX: No, I don't believe that at all.
CWD FANS: BULL SHIT!.... BULL SHIT!.... BULL SHIT!... BRITNEY'S LYING!*CLAP, CLAP... CLAP, CLAP, CLAP* BULL SHIT!.... BULL SHIT!.... BULL SHIT!... BRITNEY'S LYING!*CLAP, CLAP...

Troy Maddox leans through the ropes and grabs a handful of Britney's hair and begins pulling her back into the ring. Britney shouts in fright at first, but quickly starts trying to fight back while complaining about her ankle. In a desperation moment Britney grabs a hold of Maddox's ears and drops down from the apron, forcing TM to releaser her after smashing his throat against the ring cable. Troy Maddox flies backward in pain clutching his throat. The ref slides in to check on Maddox, meanwhile Shoju Kota pops up in a sea of fans and hands Britney a pair of brass knuckles before disappearing.
MINX: WHAT THE HELL?!
Yamazaki catches Maddox and slams him via a high angle belly to belly suplex! Yamazaki makes the cover,
...1!...
...BREAK COUNT!...
MINX: ANDERS HAS THE BRASS KNUCKLES!
ASTIN: OUCH!
Britney punches Yamazaki in the balls with the brass knuckles and Yamazaki rolls away in pain. Britney makes the cover on Maddox,

ASTIN: BRITNEY IS GOING TO DO IT!
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: Here is your winner... and the NEWWWWW! CWD HOLLYWOOD HONORS CHAMPION...BRITNEY ANDERS!!!!
MINX: I don't believe it.
ASTIN: Do you have any idea of what this means?!
MINX: We are going to be reminded of Britney's first ever reign as champion for years to come.
ASTIN: That too. But I was going to say, the Upper Echelon are running Hollywood legitimately at this point!
The referee raises Britney's hand in victory while Kendrick Kross slides into the ring with the Hollywood Honors Championship after snatching it away from the time keeper. While Kross puts the belt around Britney's waist, Britney notices the official glancing at her hand from time to time as the brass knuckles are still on her hand. Britney finally says something along the lines of, "What are you looking at?!" and the Official just steps away without causing any issues.
MINX: Well she's the champion, it took brass knuckles to do it.
ASTIN: What brass knuckles? That's a fashionable, trending thing that she does. It's apart of the attire.
MINX: Stop lying for her. We can clearly see what it is.

Fans erupt. Inside the arena, the lights dim and the a blue hue takes over the stage / ramp area. Smoke fills the entrance way as emerging through it to the sounds of "Africa" By Weezer is Melody Marshall. She is introduced the ring announcer as she slaps the hands of some lucky fans ringside before sliding into the ring.
LYOTO SILVA: The following contest is the last man standing match for the CWD CALIFORNIA HERITAGE CHAMPIONSHIP! In the ring, our special guest referee and the competitor who will go on to face the winner of this match, MELLOODDYYYY MARRSSHHAALLL!!!
You gotta push through it all, if it’s what you want
Screaming THIS IS a call to the dreamers
Dig a little deeper, make ‘em believers
As the stage, as well as the ringside area, slowly begins to fill up with white smoke as the crowd watches in anticipation. Suddenly, something began to rise out of the stage, as if rising from the depths of the mist itself. The fans began to erupt as Equinox hidden underneath the smoke begins to rise out of the smoke as you can see parts his face paint revealing itself hidden under his mask. His arms outstretched to the High Fliers as if drawing in their strength before stepping into battle.
"RISE" by I Prevail go out as it hits over the PA System as the Titan trons begins to play the video highlighting Equinox who would be competing into one of the tonight's many events.
The fog still thick and envious as if to cloud him from their vision as he makes his way out. As the beat gets faster, Equinox walk faster as his feet trot along to the beat as he is shown in his white Assassin's creed overcoat, his conjoined white and black mask hiding his face, black tank top, and his customized arm covers over each arm in hues of black, charcoal gray, red. His face hidden behind a wild mask of face paint. The fans cheering as the ring announcer announces CWD's own High Spot Superhero.
LYOTO SILVA: From St. Louis, Missouri!!!! Weighing in at 235 Ibs....He is "The Human Highlight Reel", He is "The High Spot Hero" Equinox!!!!!!!
Equinox slowly makes his way down the rows and rows of fans on his right side til he goes full square around to each of the fans. Then heads to greet the ones he missed, before turning around before heading full throttle into the ring sliding under the bottom rope feet first as his body flies at full speed. Smiling big and wide, He gets up quickly playing to the crowd. Proceeding up to each turnbuckle pointing out to the fans for they are why he is here tonight before climbing to the top turnbuckle and somersaulting off the top landing on his feet in the ring. Once finished he take off his overcoat as well as his mask and hands both of them to Melody.
Under and Over It hits the PA system as the arena goes dark. A few seconds later Kendrick walks out from the back with Amaya by his side. When the lyrics start red pyro shoots out from either side of the stage and the lights flash white and red as Kendrick slowly starts walking down towards the ring with his arm draped over Amayas shoulders. Kendrick slowly walking, wearing a leather jacket, white tank top, black jeans and red high top sneakers stops in the middle of the ramp head down. As the announcer introduces him.
LYOTO SILVA: From Chelsea, London....weighing in at 215 pounds.....Kendrick Kross!
Kendrick slowly continues walking down the ramp until getting to the end of the ramp where he turns left, goes up the step he presses down on the bottom rope and raises the middle one allowing Amaya to enter. He follows as they go over to his corner.
Marshall calls for the bell and watches as Kendrick Kross and Equinox begin with bare knuckle brawling. They exchange of punches goes in Equinox's favor and he backs the champion down before sending him across the ring via an irish whip. K2 catches the ring rope and then ducks down under the bottom rope and steps to the outside. He gives a smug grin and Equinox quickly flies to the outside using body plancha to take down K2. The crowd let's out a huge pop while Equinox tosses Kendrick Kros back in the ring.
Equinox knocks Kross off his feet with a takedown before leaping into the air and landing a big double leg drop to the crotch. The crowd pops with excitement for Equinox who feeds off the energy and Melody Marshall just sits on the top rope enjoying the fight. Kross fights back, landing a forearm to the midsection of Equinox that leaves him stunned briefly before Equinox retaliates with a forearm of his own. Equionx slingshots out of the ring cables and lands a dropkick that sends Kross tumbling out of the ring. Melody Marshall applauds this while leaping down to the outside and then stepping over the guard rail.
MINX: Where is.. hey! Where is our referee going?
ASTIN: It’s a free for all now.
MINX: Clearly.
Equinox flies to the outside, landing a corkscrew plancha that really gets the crowd going. He stomps on Kross a few times before stepping away to indulge in the love of the fans. He returns shortly after to continue to beat down but the California Heritage champion attacks first with a clothesline that leaves Equinox on his back, looking at the lights. Kendrick Kross grabs Equinox by the back of the head and throws him into the ring steps before grabbing him by the hair once again and this time throwing him into the guard rail.
ASTIN: We might see at least a count of four right now, where in the hell is Melody?
MINX: She’s been gone a long time.
ASTIN: Where do you suppose she went?
MINX: Bathroom?
Kendrick Kross looks around and realizes Melody is nowhere around. He shrugs and grabs the top section of the ring steps and waits patiently as the challenger rises unaware of K2’s intentions. The crowd pops and Kross loses focus for a moment as Melody Marshall returns to ringside, stepping over the guard rail with an ice cold IPA in her grasps.
ASTIN: She went for a beer! hahahaha.
MINX: You can't help but love her.
Kross sprints forward with the ring steps and at the last second Equinox drops out of the way and Kendrick Kross smashes the ring steps against the ring post, the vibration and impact forcing him to drop the stairs with the vibrations still ringing through his body. He turns around and walks into a roundhouse kick from Equinox! Kross drops to the ground and Equinox waits patiently for Melody to begin her count. Kros makes it back to his feet again and Equinox lifts him via a scoop and slams him down on the outside. Equinox steps onto the ring apron, gets a running start, and leaps off landing a front flip leg drop on the champion!
MINX: Ouch! Equinox is looking to send Kross to the hospital.
ASTIN: Imagine if this was an ambulance match right? Yeah, Kendrick Kross still walks out as the champion.
MINX: It's possible.
Equinox slides Kross back into the ring and follows in after him. Melody sips her beer and watches from the outside.
MINX: I like that Melody gives them the entire ring to themselves. She's not really officiating, she's just the counter.
ASTIN: Basically. She's being paid to count to ten. Smart move there Roerich.
MINX: So much hostility.
Equiniox throws Kross into the ring ropes and doubles over. Kendrick Kross returns and slams Equinox with the textbook gut wrench suplex. The Champion rolls away from Equinox before climbing to his feet slowly. The Champ hits Equinox with a few punches before running into the ring ropes himself. Kross is hit by a knee to the stomach from Equinox and Equinox attempts an irish whip on Kross but it is reversed and Kross pulls Equinox into his cltuches before executing a belly to belly suplex on Equinox!
MINX: This will be a battle of endurance for sure.
ASTIN: To keep these two from hurting each other in this match we may need bullet or tranqualizers.
Kendrick Kross continues to focus on Equinox' back and stomps on his lower back area. He leaps into the air and stomps on Equinox once again.
ASTIN: If you don't have a strong back you can't stand. It all makes sense.
Kendrick Kross pulls Equinox to his feet and slams him with a german suplex! Kross and Equinox roll to their feet again and Kross slams Equinox again with another german suplex, this time Kross releases him and demands Melody Marshall start to count. She sips her beer and begins counting,
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...
....4!...
...5!...
...6!...
Equinox climbs to his feet and Melody finishes her beer. The Champion grabs Equinox by the hair and rams him face first into the turnbuckle repeatedly before walking Equinox to the center of the ring and slamming him via a tiger suplex this time.
MINX: Kross is really focusing on the lower back of Equinox tonight.
ASTIN: It's quite a wise choice.
Kendrick Kross steps onto the ring apron and prepares for a springboard move but is hit in mid air by a superkick from Equinox! The crowd cheers and gets behind Equinox heavily. Nox feeds off the crowd and throws Kendrick Kross into the corner. He lands a few punches before lifitng the champion onto the top rope and executing a superplex, then floating over into a falcon arrow! The crowd cheers wildly and Equinox stumbles backward in pain, his lower back seeming to give out a little.
ASTIN: Uh oh. Kross may have the opening he needs.
MINX: He's been working at that area all match. He may have made an impact.
ASTIN: COME ON KENDRICK!
MINX: That's just gross.
ASTIN: He's the greatest California Heritage Champion this promotion has ever seen. Equinox already lost his shot at this title basically.
MINX: Oh no, shut up.
Equinox catches Kross off guard and slams him into the canvas via a very unorthodox running bulldog! The fans erupt with cheers for Equinox who waits in the corner while Melody Marshall counts.

The Champion grabs hold of the ring ropes and begins climbing to to his feet once again.

Equinox doesn't waste a moment and immediately springboards to the outside and comes crashing down, executing a DDT and forcing Kendrick Kross into an upright pencil formation before falling to the ground.
MINX: GOOD GOSH! DID YOU SEE THAT?!
ASTIN: The Champion just became an exclamation mark.
MINX: Oh wow, he may be down for the count this time.

Kendrick Kross makes it to his feet just before Melody reaches the count of ten and Equinox quickly spears Kendrick Kross through the guard rail, forcing the fans to move out of the way leaving both men down.
MINX: Both men are down. Who will get up!
ASTIN: Why is Melody counting? No one told her to count.
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...
....4!...
...5!...
...6!...
...7!...
In the midst of the rubble Equinox crawls away and Kendrick Kross tries crawling away but his foot is trapped by the guard railing that collapsed and he can't get free.
ASTIN: NO! THIS INS'T FAIR!
MINX: Kross can't move! His foot his caught.

ASTIN: NO!

ASTIN: NO! NOOOOO!!
Equinox hops up and climbs onto the ring apron.

With Equinox on the outside shaking off the pain of a hard fought battle, Melody Marshall hands him the championship and shakes his hand before allowing him his moment in the spotlight, hoisting the belt up above his head, the fans cheer Equinox.
ASTIN: This is awful.
MINX: This is amazing! Equinox has done it! He has claimed the prize they told him he wouldn't be able to claim.

THE TITANESS VERSUS THE DEMONESS
-vs- 
©= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
ASTIN: It's California Pride Championship time!
MINX: I am too excited to sit for this. Yet, I am sitting.
LYOTO SILVA: The following match is our feature contest, the CWD CALIFORNIA PRIDE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH! Entering first, the challenger weighing in at 145 pounds...THE TITANESS...SAMANTHA HAMILTON!
As the actual lyrics begin playing, the Titaness saunters down the ramp. A sense of determination and resolve can always be found in her eyes. Despite wearing a more stern and serious expression, she's not one to ignore any fans or supporters. Every now and again, she'll give a wave or slight smirk. More often than not, however, the Titaness will stick to her more serious and stoic look.
When she finally gets in front of the ropes, the Titaness will usually slip through the middle and top ropes. From time to time, however, she will opt to simply step over the top ropes.
The lights go out, a loud sound like a giant heartbeat sounds every second, the lights flash around the arena, then a red spotlight hits the entrance way as Halestorms's Sick I individual hits. The light hits Maki with her back to the audience she is on her hands and knees, she slowly crawls her way the ring.
Well you think that you know what I am but you don't.
'Cause I say what you can't and I do what you won't.
I like it loud, wear it proud, like a crown upon my head
I'll always be this way 'till the day that I'm dead
"'Cause I'm a sick individual
And I'm doing this thing called whatever the fuck I want, want, want
I'm unusual"
Maki slowly crawls to the ring, with her hair down to her shoulders, her white face paint, with scribbles on her body of "Help".
LYOTO SILVA: And her opponent, weighing in at 135 pounds, the reigning.... defending... CWD CALIFORNIA PRIDE CHAMPION....MAAAAKKKKIIIIII!!
She crawls to the ring and slides under the bottom rope.
She sits in the ring with her head bent back, laughing manically, and then flips herself to her feet.
Her tongue is sticking out as she whispers Korean to herself.
The bell sounds and Samantha Hamilton wastes no time in attacking Maki, backing her into the corner with pwerful rights an lefts before grabbing hold of the top rope and delivering the boots of doom to Maki in the corner. Hamilton gets a handful of Maki's hair and pulls her away from the corner and shoves her head between her thighs before lifitng her up for a powerbomb attempt. Maki flips backward and attempts a head scissors, but Hamilton uses her strength to her advantage and instead locks Maki into a single leg boston crab! Maki fights the pain while crawling toward the ropes.
The Titaness allows Maki to rise to her feet before hitting her with a shoulder tackle to the back of the knee.
MINX: Samantha Hamilton is looking to create a weakness for herself to exploit.
ASTIN: She will be tough to beat. Her strategy is sound.
The Titaness pulls Maki to her feet and throws her into the ring ropes. Maki springs out and after attempting a head scissors, Hamilton only slams her to the canvas via a tilt a whirl slam! Hamilton stomps on Maki/s stomach when she arches her back in pain and then makes an arrogant cover,
...1!...
...KICKOUT!...
MINX: Something tell me's Maki kicked out that fast just to let Hamilton know she will have to do more to stop her.
Hamilton guides Maki to her feet before slamming her via a scoop slam and then picking up momentum by throwing her body into the ring cables. Samantha Hamilton shoots out and lands a vicious foot to the throat and collar bone region of Maki's body. The Titaness makes a cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
MINX: Near fall from Samantha Hamilton!
ASTIN: The Titaness has to be careful, if she is too aggressive, she might summon Daniela.
ASTIN: The Titaness has to be careful, if she is too aggressive, she might summon Daniela.
Samantha Hamilton connects with a chop before pulling Maki in close for a short arm lariat, but Maki ducks underneath it and instead plants the Titaness via a reverse ddt! Maki stays on the canvas in pain instead of crawling the few feet away to the make the cover.
MINX: How do you defeat an opponent that is going to get tougher if you truly unleash your skillset on her?
ASTIN: Easy, drive a stake through it's heart.
MINX: That works on vampires, not a demoness.
Both competitors make it to their feet and Maki shoots out of the ring ropes and runs right into Samantha Hamilton's clutches where Hamilton locks her in an octopus stretch. Maki shouts as Hamilton delivers an elbow to her rib cage before locking the octopus stretch in completely and applying pressure.
ASTIN: This looks so painful.
MINX: The Titaness plans on breaking out champion in every form.
ASTIN: With this move she will surly succeed. How is Maki going to get out of this?
MINX: I don't think she can.
Samantha Hamilton releases Maki and quickly slams her utilizing a gutbuster in her offensive attack! Hamilton makes another arrogant cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Samantha Hamilton taunts Maki before pulling her off the canvas and throwing her to the corner. The champion slides across the canvas, beneath the bottom turnbuckle pad and crashes her abdomen into the ring post making a loud thud upon impact. The crowd gasps.
MINX: Oh no.
ASTIN: The champ is in a bad spot.
The Titaness smirks before sprinting forward and connecting with a baseball slide, causing Maki to smash into the ring post once again.
ASTIN: Ouch!
MINX: Maki may have internal injuries after smacking into the ring post like that.
The Titanness slides out of the ring and drags Maki to the outside as well, allowing the champ to smack the mats outside hard. The fans boo heavily as Hamilton stomps on the rubs and abdomen of Maki.
MINX: Maki looks to be in a bad way.
Hamilton throws Maki against the guard rail and taunts her while approaching her. Maki favors her midsection keeping her forearm resting against her side.
ASTIN: That twenty count rule is really being utilized by Samantha Hamilton.
Sam Hamilton punches champion in the stomach before throwing her back into the ring. Hamilton is quick to continue to assault but landing a big stomp to the lower back of Maki before locking her in a surfboard stretch.

Samantha Hamilton stumbles away from ringside and exits near a barricade to a mostly vacant street. She lies on the concrete pavement of the boulevard, writhing in pain. The on looking fans attention is drawn from cheering for the match they just watched to something happening out on the street. Smoke has begun filling the streets and sidewalks, rising up from the manholes that are in the area. As fans cough, gasp and try to wave the smoke out of their face, Viduus Morta, Aiden Deimos & Lobo emerge, headed directly for Samantha Hamilton whose now trying to cope with the smoke along with her war wounds from the match.
VIDUUS MORTA: Get her…
Samantha tries to get up to her feet but Aiden and Lobo move in quickly with kicks to the side of her head and ribcage as she’s on all fours. Viduus walks up now and without hesitation lands a thunderous, swift knee across the front of Hamilton’s face as she looks up that sends her flying backwards, landing on her head. Lobo decides to go crazy and starts kicking away furiously while laughing manically until Viduus steps in, placing his hand on his shoulder, signaling Lobo to hold off. Lobo laughs and throws one more kick for good measure. Aiden walks over, bending down beside Samantha.
AIDEN DEIMOS: Hello Samantha. We are your worst nightmare.
Aiden laughs, standing back up while Viduus walks over, putting his boot across her throat causing Samantha to clutch and grab at it for air.
VIDUUS MORTA: This is their Number One Contender?
Aiden and Viduus laugh sarcastically as Lobo chimes in with another sinister laugh as well as a few more kicks cause he just can’t get enough. Viduus releases his boot from her throat but then reaches down to grab her by the throat and lifts her straight up, off the ground with ease. Viduus now tosses her with one hand into a car that is parked by the curb sending her crashing back down to the pavement.
VIDUUS MORTA: Pitiful.
Just then, the streetlights and the lights of every shop, business and store on the street go out causing a blackout. People begin using their flashlights equipped on their cell phones but you can hear concern and slight panic pick up along the street. Though cars drive by, they don’t do enough to light up the scene.
AIDEN DEIMOS: He has arrived.
As Aiden’s words somehow echo amongst the frantic crowd, the lights on the whole street come back on. Standing in front of Samantha Hamilton is the current Union Battleground Champion and leader of Salvation Nemesis! Samantha has a both concerned and confused look on her face while the panic from the crowd has now turned into booing, cheering and excitement at the fact that he too has now arrived in CWD. Viduus stands to his right while Aiden to his left and Lobo lurks amongst them all, side to side in a lunatic-like manner.
NEMESIS: It seems we have all bore witness to the fall of “The Titaness”.
Nemesis steps forward, not even giving her the luxury of bending down to be eye to eye. She’s hurting, badly and he knows it so he cockily nudges her in the head with his right boot in an outright disrespectful manner.
NEMESIS: It seems the seal on your fate has been broken, like your confidence and will was here today. You are weak. You represent all that is wrong with CWD. The inferior shall be purged and cast aside. Salvation has arrived and now, only the strong shall survive.
Nemesis signals towards Viduus who picks Hamilton back up to her feet. Viduus sets her up and manages to put her up in a powerbomb position facing the boulevard. Aiden goes to the right side and grabs a hold off her and Lobo does the same on the left. Nemesis hops up onto the hood of the car they had thrown Samantha into earlier and then leaps off. Nemesis flies through the air and drop kicks Samantha to add force sending her backwards as Viduus, Aiden and Lobo do a three-man powerbomb onto the concrete! Samantha lands with a sick thud and is out cold. The four men walk up to the unconscious Hamilton and each one of them rests a boot on her chest.
NEMESIS: California Wrestling Division. Your Champions will be dethroned. Your heroes will be obliterated. Salvation has come to cleanse CWD of the inadequate. Follow the path to Salvation or be damned to destruction.
With that, the four men don’t even laugh, blink or make a noise. They turn around and walk off as the smoke once again begins to rise in large amounts throughout the streets and sidewalks until finally they are engulfed by it and out of sight.
