Zion Wrestling Presents: Friday Night Fusion Episode 5

[Intern]

We come in to see a sold out Denver Coliseum! The pyro goes off and fans all cheer!

Tripp Bennett: We’re coming off a huge Summer Bash, but there’s no rest for the wicked! Welcome everyone...to Friday Night Fusion! I’m Tripp Bennett, joined as always by my broadcast colleague, Alivia Takasoto!

Alivia Takasoto: Well Tripp when you say Summer Bash was huge that is an understatement! We crowned two new champions this past weekend and saw the debuts of so many new stars in Zion! I can’t wait to see how that shapes up the action tonight!

The lights shut off. The crowd is left waiting, but after roughly a minute the initials RWK appear on the screen.One lone spotlight comes over the arena as “Winter”by Our Last Night plays loudly through the PA System.

Robert William Kendricks walks out to the sold out crowd with a smirk on his face. As the crowd chants his initials, he throws his arms up causing a blue pyro to go off behind him. As the music calms, slowly fading to a close, RWK makes his way to the ring where he is handed a microphone by a random employee of Zion.

“Oh that felt good, that felt energizing. That’s why I came back to wrestling, and that is why I chose Zion of all places.”

As Robert finishes his sentence the crowd interrupts with a loud burst of cheers. As they calm down quickly, he continues on.

“Now mind you, it wasn’t an easy decision, but easy decisions don’t exist when you’re in the same talks as some of Zion’s Young exciting talents. Talent like Solomon Graham.”

The crowd cheers again, chanting Solomon Graham’s name while doing so. As they die down, the chants echo in the back of the arena before RWK continues speaking.

“Talent like Legion and her Hive.”

The crowd loudly boos until Robert holds his hand up for them to stop so he may continue.

“Talent like Addison Rayne, who I still have a score to settle before it’s all said and done.”

The crowd erupts in cheers, chanting “Zion” followed by “book the match”.

“But NONE of them are me. None of them push themselves like I push myself, and for that, I know what I got myself into when I signed up for this song and dance.”

The crowd falls silent as Robert chuckles a bit, catching his breath as he does so.

The fact of the matter is, I belong in the big picture. I should be the face that is on the posters. I should be the captain at the helm before this ship turns into the Titanic. But of course I’m not, because Solomon Graham lost Saturday at Summer Bash, and now Legion is running this ship.”

The crowd chants “she’s no captain” as RWK continues on.

“Now, it’s not all Solomon’s fault. He was attacked, and that was very wrong. Oh wait, it shouldn’t matter.”

The crowd boos loudly, which allows for RWK to hold his thought for a moment before exploding in a loud shout.

“Man up, and punch the world in the face when it throws adversity your way. I know I do, and hell, I’d rather not have an Angel Kash makeup malfunction breakdown every time something doesn’t go my way.”

The crowd boos as Robert goes to continue speaking.

“We’ve done a lot of-“

“Hold on a second…”

RWK’s head shoots in the direction of the stage… and only a few seconds after he does, Solomon Graham comes out to the cheering and applause of the fans. He has a water bottle and a microphone in his left and right hands respectively. He opens his water bottle and takes a sip before putting the lid back on, meanwhile walking down to the ring.

“Adversity? Really? You wanna talk about adversity, my guy, you haven’t faced adversity! You talk about me like I’m young, but I’m almost 30 years old. There are people who are younger and hungrier than I am and they’re vying for the spot and the status that I have. You wanna talk about punching adversity in the face?

He continues to walk down the ring, scoffing audibly as he does and slapping a few hands of the adoring crowd as he does.

“My guy… you may not know this about me, or you’ve probably chosen to forget… but I have autism and that comes with a slew of baggage, including severe anxiety and depression. To deal with all of the things that go with that territory, not being able to stand loud noise… I love these fans, but it grates on my nerves every single time they cheer for me, because the noise is too loud… and yet, every time I come out here, I encourage them to cheer as loud as they can, because I want their voices to be heard! So, yeah. I push past every single thing. All of it. I don’t let it distract me and I overcome it. That?”

At this point, he’s reached the ring. He quickly climbs the ring stairs, wipes his feet on the apron and enters the ring. He circles RWK as he speaks.

“...is facing adversity, THAT is me pushing myself and being the absolute best I can be. Sure, you did beat a World champion caliber competitor. That’s an impressive feat. And you’re right… I lost at Summer Bash. You’re putting words in my mouth if you think I’ll try to make excuses for my losses, Rob. What do I do instead, or rather, what am I doing in this case? Coming out here to earn my chance at redemption!”

The fans cheer loudly as Graham says that.

“Now… with all that outta the way… get a ref out here! It’s time to throw down!!!”



The bell rings and the two competitors rush to the center of the ring. Then begin throwing swings, clubbing each other with blows in unison! A super live right hand catches RWK in the temple, sending him staggering back! He stops for a moment to press a hand against it and check for damages, before rushing Graham again in a slight rage! He goes for a Lariat, but Graham ducks underneath, catching him with a kick to the knee that sends him doubling over! Graham runs the ropes, before hitting the ropes and hitting a Running Knee Lift! Graham covers!

ONE…!

TW-

Kick out by RWK! Graham smacks the mat in frustration. He gets up and immediately heads for the ropes before attempting a Leg Drop, but RWK dodges! He leaves Graham seated, hitting him with a Sliding Forearm that brings him down! He sees an opportunity and runs for the ropes, bouncing off of them with a Moonsault! RWK pins!

ONE…!

TW-

Kick out by Graham! RWK is back on the attack, putting Graham in a headlock before running for the corner! He jumps up the ropes and jumps off with Graham in tow, before transitioning the hold into a DDT in mid-air! The force of the move spikes Graham’s head to the mat, causing him to fall onto his back! RWK flips over with him, lifting Graham up for a Falcon Arrow! But Graham reverses with a Stunner! RWK stumbles into the corner and Graham capitalizes with a Lariat! He rolls RWK out of the corner before hitting him with a knee to the side of the head! Graham covers!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out by RWK! Graham gets him, going for the Court of Miracles! He hits his nine elbow strikes before spinning for a tenth, but RWK ducks it! Graham spins all the way around before eventually catching RWK with a Spinning Back Fist, doubling him over! He gets RWK in position for Shattered Neck Brilliance and attempts to lift him up! But suddenly Graham is thrown off. He clutches his head, the pain of his match last weekend and the attack by Minka Carter starting to catch up with him. The momentary distraction gives RWK a chance! He reverses the piledriver with a back body drop! He climbs to the top rope before hitting Graham with the LA PRESS! He goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!



Alex Lawson: The winner of this match...your #1 Contender...R! W! K!

Tripp Bennett: RWK gets the win here tonight, and will be facing Legion next week for the title!

Alivia Takasoto: RWK beat Legion on the debut episode of Fusion with nothing but pride on the line! Will he be able to make history repeat itself and become the new champion?

RWK celebrates his win with a bunch of belt gestures around the ring. He spots Graham sulking on the corner, before giving him a smirk and celebrating on the top rope as we fade out.



Victoria Salinas is seen backstage walking through the hallway. She’s in a confident state of mind for the moment as she gathers her thoughts about her upcoming match. She takes a deep breath, seeming like she’s in good spirits. However, when she comes across a room that has some ladders stacked up on them, a sullen, slightly sad expression comes on her face. She takes a bit of a sigh as she sits on one of the ladders and begins to express her thoughts.

Victoria Salinas: I was incredibly psyched to make my surprise debut here in ZION Wrestling. I had the perfect debut all lined up. Show up and shock the world, make so many people happy and ultimately become the YouTube Champion in my debut and add yet another accolade to my long, decorated resume. Well, I did achieve the first part. I’m questioning whether I even accomplished the second part considering the disappointment I may have brought upon some of my fans. And yet, I know that I didn’t accomplish the third part. I am not the YouTube Champion. It hurts like hell to say that because that’s how bad I wanted it. Nothing in this business hurts more to me than losing a title match, I will be the first to admit that. Most wrestlers in the same situation I am in would make excuses, but there are no excuses from me. It just wasn’t my night. Most wrestlers would sit here and mope about things and some may even complain about how ‘unfair’ the whole situation is. Or, they would talk about how they’re still bitter about the experience. That’s not me. That’s not how I handle defeat. That’s not how I handle adversity. Hell, I recently had to push and bust my ass just to even break through and get a title shot and that’s precisely what I did and I wound up winning that.

I’m as tenacious and as persistent as they come. You may bruise my spirit, but you can never shatter it. You can never break it. And hell, despite all that I’ve accomplished in my career, I know that I’m truly just getting started with the very best chapter of my career. That’s what brings me to you, Eddie Williams. You want to consider yourself “flawless”, huh?

Victoria sighs and rolls her eyes, clearly showing her annoyance with his nickname.

Victoria Salinas: Yeah, call me when you aren’t carrying such a dime a dozen personality. You walk around here presenting yourself as someone that can wrestle circles around anyone. Yo9u think you can outwrestle just about every opponent you can without having to put in the extra effort and THAT is where your flaw is. You think you’re too damn good to be better than you already are. That’s the thing, Eddie. I have faced guys like you many times over the years. I used to know someone a decade ago that was just like you who thought he was absolute hot shit and who thought he was better than everyone. This guy… god, he had an obsession with being better than me. You know how many times he ever beat me in a one on one match? Zero. You know how many world titles that guy won? Zero. You know the last time he actually wrestled? 2012. My point is, guys like you are just like that idiot that had an obsession with being better than me a decade ago: guys that belong in what I call the NFL club… Not For Long…

You don’t have the heart to be a long time player in this business. The ability? Sure. But here you are carrying this attitude that you’ve already got it figured out and it makes me sick! I’ve known so many wrestlers that are skilled like you, but have five times as much heart as you do and yet they can’t buy an opportunity to be in the spot that you’re in. You? You just take it all for granted. You’re in that dime a dozen category of wrestlers that don’t succeed to what their talent dictates they succeed at because you don’t have the heart nor the passion to get to where your talent can get you. But me? I’ve ALWAYS wanted this! I’ve NEVER taken this for granted. I’ve lasted as long as I have because through good and bad, through the best and the worst, I LOVE what I do and I LOVE the inspiration to the masses that I bring that just may create the next small town success story in this business the way I’ve been for nearly 12 years. I know in my heart that I can match your abilities in that ring. I know in my spirit that there’s nothing a guy like you can do to bring me down. I know in my SOUL that I’ve got your miniscule heart and passion for this beaten in SPADES and THAT will be the difference tonight!

It’s time to show ZION what Victoria Salinas is truly about…

Victoria takes a bit of a breath before she sits up from the ladder. She looks at it for a bit, breathes calmly indicating that she’s past the disappointment of the YouTube title match she was in, then turns around and leaves the scene ready to make her one on one ZION debut.

OCW Presents: The Margarita Mix
Starting Wednesday, August 4th

Match #2: Victoria Salinas vs. Eddie Williams (w/ Owie Sharp)

Alex Lawson: The following match is scheduled for one fall..

Introducing first...from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada...weighing in at 132 lbs...Victoria! Salinas!

And her opponent...being accompanied to the ring by Owie Sharp...from Toronto, Canada...weighing in at 220 lbs…”Flawless”! Eddie! Williams!

Tripp Bennett: Last Saturday, Victoria Salinas shocked the world when she made her Zion Wrestling debut as a surprise entrant in the YOUTUBE! Championship ladder match! She was very close to claiming the title for her own, but came up short against eventual winner Anthony Cross!

Alivia Takasoto: She also came to heavy blows with her opponent tonight in that match! You have to imagine a win for either of them will go a long way in getting them back on the horse!



Salinas and Williams circle each other in the middle of the ring before going for a collar and elbow tie up! They struggle for control until Salinas eventually starts to push back and gain the upper hand. Seeing this, Eddie sneaks a stomp at Salinas’ shin, the underhanded tactic sending her to a knee! He grabs the head of Salinas before going for a DDT! He goes for a bit

ONE…!

T-

Kick out by Salinas, and Williams doesn’t hesitate. He flips Salinas onto her stomach and starts to rain down on her with a series of Elbow Drops to her back! He jumps up in the air to deal out a final super devastating elbow drop, but Salinas rolls out of the way! Williams returns to his feets clutching his arm, but before he can get back into the match, a still grounded Salinas gets a drop toe hold him! He hits the mat, right before Salinas gets him in position for an Elevated Boston Crab!

She has the hold locked in tight as Williams tries to make it to the ropes! He inches closer and closer before landing a single pinkie on the bottom rope. The ref counts it as a rope break and demands that Salinas relieves the hold, which she does. She starts to see Williams slowly making it back to his feet and darts towards the ropes, she comes back and immediately greets a turning Williams with a stiff Running Knee to the side of his jaw! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TW-

Kick out from Williams! Salinas gets up and immediately stomps the head of Williams to keep him at bay! She scales the top rope, standing on it backwards. She looks behind her to check if Williams is still there and goes for a Top Rope Moonsault! William’s gets the feet up, though, leaving Salinas standing and staggering! Before she can completely topple over, Williams hooks the leg and gets her in position for the Calf Killer! It’s locked in tight! Salinas is in a lot of trouble here!

Salinas starts to throw wild elbows in the direction of Williams, just hoping one will land! She swings until one particularly stiff elbow eventually catches Williams in the back of the head! He lets go of the hold and the two competitors start to slowly make it back to their feet. Salinas is the first to make a move going for a Jumping Yakuza Kick, but Eddie dodges it! With her back still turned to Williams, Victoria is blindsided as he lifts her up for his signature Sidewalk Slam! But she shifts the weight before he has a chance to drive her to the mat, bringing up her legs to hit him with a Headscissor!

Eddie rolls back to his feet, but Salinas is already up, hitting her with her signature Standing Roundhouse Kick! The force to the kick turns Eddie around, but Victoria isn’t done. She gets a hold on Williams and hits him with the VANITY BREAKER!! Salinas with the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!



Alex Lawson: Here is your winner...Victoria! Salinas!

Tripp Bennett: A huge singles debut win from Victoria Salinas!

Alivia Takasoto: She said she was gonna show Zion what she can do, and that’s what she just did right here tonight! The only question is what’s next for The Unbreakable One?

Salinas hops out of the ring and celebrates with the fans at ringside as we cut to backstage!



Backstage, we see Daria Dorsey ready to throw down against the YouTube Champion, as she sports an emerald green and white version of her usual attire while speaking about her opponent.

Daria Dorsey "And here Zion is, at Denver, Colorado. Now, this may be the Mile High City, but it's nowhere near the Zenith..."

She gets some boos, as it was the Denver Divas who lost out to the New York Firebirds in the 2019 Wondercup that Daria was victorious.

Daria Dorsey "Likewise, the faux champion, Anthony Cross, is nowhere near my credentials. He won the belt in a six person match that was destined to be a cluster fuck by simply being in the right place, and at the right time. Everyone with a pair of eyes knows that he shouldn't be the champion, and tonight, I'm going to prove it in a traditional wrestling match. My bread and butter, something that bodybuilder meathead will be gassed out in under ten minutes. So hold onto the title while you can, Anthony Cross. It's going to a much more deserving owner, soon." 


She said with a confident glare, folding her arms over her chest as we fade to the next scene.



ZION’s broadcast fades to a familiar, dimly lit locker room with a chair that is in a spotlight. Some footsteps are heard and Minka Carter walks into the scene, of course holding the lead pipe that she had used so liberally on Solomon Graham. She sits down on the chair with the pipe on her lap and she has quite an evil smirk on her face as she begins to express her thoughts.

Minka Carter: Surprise, bitches! Like I wasn’t going to be here today! Like I wasn’t going to take my shot that I did this past weekend. Solomon, it’s nothing personal against you. I just want you to know that. I just needed to send a message. I didn’t plan on coming to ZION, I will be the first to admit that but circumstances change and me personally? I got sick and tired of being a big fish in a small pond. I knew that I could achieve more! I knew that I could reach for a bigger star and become even more successful than I’ve already been. I knew that this would be the place where #MainEventMinka FINALLY becomes a reality. Speaking of reality, I’d like to get into that a little bit. Kai Morgan and I have never been the best of friends. It goes without saying. We had our battles in other places. We put each other through hell. So why the hell would he want to sign me and why the hell would I ever want to be someplace where he’s involved? Let’s just say that despite differences, we’re able to align on ONE thing: that we BOTH have a passion for what we do.

I needed a place where I know I am going to truly shine and Kai… let’s be honest, he was DYING for main event talent. I don’t blame him. Look at who the hell was in that tournament. Samantha Tolson? Seriously? Who the hell had a brain aneurysm and signed THAT waste of space? Robert Wlliam Kendricks? Isn’t that guy old news? Legion? WHO? And someone like HER is the world champion around these parts? ZION’s not off to a good start here. But then there is YOU, Solomon Graham. YOU were in this tournament too? It makes me SICK! It makes me sick to my stomach because the fact that someone like you is in a tournament like that is an INSULT to this business. You want to walk around acting like a righteous paragon of virtue or whatever the hell you’re all about and someone who couldn’t even beat Victoria Salinas for a second-tier title belt in another company suddenly fancies himself as a world title contender?

FUCK NO!

You’re NOT a main event contender, Solomon Graham!

I am a main event contender! I make EVERYONE in that locker room feel weak and insecure with themselves because I don’t hold back. I am not someone that minces words. I am not someone that sugar coats shit! Hell, my tongue is so venomous, you had people in the back trying to silence me because they couldn’t handle the truth I was spitting. I’ll be the first to admit that my words may offend people, but I don’t give a shit! I am here for one reason and one reason only and that’s to be a WORLD CHAMPION! I am here to put this fucking company, this fucking brand, on my shoulders and establish a REAL tradition in this business that EVERYONE gets to look up at and admire as the NEW standard of this business! I am here to finally FINISH the “Main Event Minka” mission that has gone on for too damn long!. I am LONG overdue to be a world champion and if people like YOU are running around this place calling themselves main eventers, then I don’t think it’s going to be too difficult to finally achieve what I am destined for.

But don’t worry, I am not going to sit here week after week to DEMAND ANYTHING because I know that demanding anything with my ACTIONS is FAR more effective than demanding anything with my words and that’s something you would know all about Solomon. You’re in for a world of hurt now: you and this entire company. If you were smart, you wouldn’t even bother trying to get revenge on me. You’d stand aside and you’d know your place. So I am giving you one chance Solomon, to do just that. Stand aside. I’m sure the YouTube title division will be waiting for you to dominate that because that’s your ceiling here, FUCKBOY! Stand aside and let a REAL main event player reach the top where she deserves to be!

Main. Event. Minka. 2021. BITCHES!

Minka remains seated and she has an evil chuckle to herself before the spotlight ultimately fades out. Some laughter from her is heard as the scene cuts out.

Match #3: Greta Nyx vs. Angel Kash (w/ Steele Matthews)

Superficial by Hiedi Montag hits, as the fans greet the sound of the Trillion Dollar Princess’s theme music with loud boos after how she won her SummerBash match. The lights dim and a red carpet rolls with paparazzi appearing at the ramp as Steele Matthews steps out along with the corrupt referee as they both point to the back. Out with her arms high in the air and dressed to compete is none other than Angel Kash. She is extra smug as she moves toward Steele Matthews allowing him to hold her as they embrace and share a kiss. They give the camera a matching pair of Cheshire grins, before holding hands and telling the referee to follow behind them.

The Trillion Dollar Princess taunts the fans, keeping herself far away from them and not letting their hands come close to her. She then gives them a “talk-to-the-hand” motion before flipping her blonde hair at them and walking up the steel steps with Matthews. The referee holds the ropes for them as Angel enters under the bottom rope followed by Steele over the middle rope. As Steele and Angel pose together, they once again embrace with a kiss. The flashbulbs go off from the paparazzi and the fans boo loudly as Angel takes the time to pose some more blowing kisses to her adoring public.

She then takes a bow for them which only gets them to boo louder. She then asks Steele to hand her a microphone which he gets the referee to do. He wipes it off and disinfects it before handing it to the Princess. She takes it smirking as she motions for her music to be cut. Angel Kash waits for the fans to quiet down, placing one hand on her hip. She looks out with a smirk as she holds the microphone up to her lips and lets out a loud laugh.

Angel Kash: Hahhaha! I love it when a plan comes together? What, you thought Carson Cain would beat me a second time?! You thought without the element of surprise at hand he would pin me again? You morons bet against me an unwise move but that’s why you’re all poor pathetic losers, and me I am worth far more than you’re teeny tiny little brains can understand. I mean my ring gear alone cost more than you morons could ever afford. It’s made with real Cashmere leather. Can you idiots spell that word? Didn’t think so.

The fans boo even louder as Steele takes the time to twirl her showing her off for the paparazzi. As she then continues on speaking.

Angel Kash: Shut up! No one cares what you poor working-class losers think! See, you morons don’t deserve a say in anything that goes on in this ring, to what goes on in this country it’s better left to your social betters like myself. So I righted the wrong that took place when Kai Morgan thought it would be funny to give me a surprise opponent and take away my chance at becoming the first Zion World Champion. And trust me that title would look so much better around my waist. And soon gold will be around my waist.

Angel motions around her waist, as the fans boo loudly.

Angel Kash: And, I always get what I want. Now, let me introduce the man who will be my official referee for all of my matches. See, I have friends in very high places unlike most of those in the back. But this is Donald Jensen, and he works for me and is my ace in the hole.

The fans boo loudly as Donald waves who just shakes his head as Angel then shoos him out of her spotlight. Before speaking again.

Angel Kash: So Greta, you are probably back there thinking “How can I beat Angel Kash? And how is it fair that she has her own referee?” Well here is something you should know: I am going to walk out the winner of this match, because life, as well as this business, isn’t fair. It's all about who has the money and who has the power...and Angel Kash has both! So, you all get to learn life’s harshest lesson once again: What Angel Kash wants Angel Kash gets!

Angel drops the microphone and poses proudly as the fans boo loudly as Superficial once again plays over the PA system. As she then embraces her soon-to-be husband Steele Matthews and plants a small kiss on him. She then goes to lay nonchalantly on the top turnbuckle as the ref holds the mirror for her and Steele talks with the princess about the match. Suddenly, Angel’s music is cut off with the opening chords to INNOCENCE by HEALTH.

Alex Lawson: And introducing her opponent...from Santa Clara, California...weighing in at 99 lbs...Greta! Nyx!

Tripp Bennett: Greta Nyx making her official debut as a member of the Zion roster!

Alivia Takasoto: Last Saturday, she scored Azurine Vebbins in Zion’s first ever Superstar Showcase Match! Shortly afterwards, Zion offered her a contract! Apparently the higher ups see a whole lot in her!

Tripp Bennett: Let’s see if she can live up to those expectations tonight!



The bell rings and referee Donald Jensen immediately stops to check Nyx for weapons unnecessarily. Nyx looks down confused as the referee pats her down, blindsiding her long enough for Kash to run up and hit her with a right hook to the face! The ref backs off and let’s Angel continue to attack a downed Nyx. Kash starts to stomp on Nyx in the corner before pressing her boot into Nyx’s chest, using the ropes for leverage! She stands Nyx up against the turnbuckles and runs across the ring, rushing towards her to hit a Running Big Boot in the corner. Nyx dodges the move, leaving Kash’s leg hanging on the top rope! She slips behind Kash and hooks the hung leg before hitting her with an Inverted Exploder Suplex! Nyx goes for the pin! Jensen makes a slow count.

ONE…!




T-

Kick out by Kash! Nyx gets up and immediately berates the referee for his actions! Jensen backs away from Nyx as Kash recovers and goes for a Schoolboy Rollup!

ONE!
TWO!
THR-

Kick out by Nyx! She rolls to her feet, running up to a still lying Angel Kash and smacking her with a Soccer Kick to the side of the head! The kick sends Kash rolling onto her back! Seeing this, Nyx goes for a Standing Senton! But Kash gets the knees up, driving them into Nyx’s back! Kash returns to her feet and grabs Nyx up by the hair and throws her head onto the bottom rope! She kneels on Nyx’s back and pulls her hair, forcing her head against the middle rope in a painful stretch! She calls for Steele Matthews and tells him to ready the Benevolence spray.

Steele comes up to Nyx’s face and goes to spray the perfume right into her eyes, but just then Carson Cain shows up! He shoves Matthews to the ground and takes the perfume from him! Kash releases her hold of Nyx in shock as Cain uncorks the perfume bottle and empties the liquid onto Steele Matthews! Kash is furious now as Cain rushes the ring! He ducks under a Lariat from Kash that accidentally catches Donald Jensen instead!

Cain looks down at the fallen referee, before shrugging and talking the referee’s shirt off of him. He puts it on himself, and Angel is now livid, screaming at Cain and throwing a tantrum. He encourages her to focus on the match at hand and points behind her. She turns around right into A REVERSE ROUNDHOUSE from Greta Nyx! She takes to the corner, taunting Kash until she gets up, before hitting her with THE BLOOD MOON! Greta goes for the pin and Cain makes the count!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!



Alex Lawson: Here is your winner...Greta! Nyx!

Tripp Bennett: Angel Kash thought she could steal a win away from Greta Nyx the same way she did last Saturday, but I don’t think she was expecting Carson Cain to be involved here!

Alivia Takasoto: Well, Cain made it very clear that things were not over between him and Angel Kash! It would make sense that he wouldn’t want history to repeat itself here tonight!

Tripp Bennett: But let’s not take anything away from that impressive win by Greta Nyx! Her time in Zion Wrestling is off to an amazing start!

Nyx and Cain both leave the ring as Kash, Matthews, and Jensen all peer at them. Cain raises the hand of a very excited Nyx as we cut to commercial!

New Frontier Wrestling Presents...
Sudden Death II
LIVE! Tommorow Night!

In the ring, Sterling Jamison White is in the middle of a rant, as he was condemning the people of Denver while cutting a promo.

SJW: "The people of Denver should be ashamed of themselves... as they were too busy toking up... injustice is on the streets, with riots all over. Probably not a one of you are educated about anything going on overseas... I am here to right your wrongs..."

His rant is cut short, as "Queendom" by Vinida would play, as Hayumi sported her geisha style umbrella whilst flanked by Cappadonna and Nari Chang as they approach the ring.

Hayumi Yamamoto: "While you aren't wrong, Sterling... there are injustices in the world. Taka Michinoku having been forced to speak in dubs by an out of touch old white man. James Carson Yun being forced into the role of a hillbilly to appease the humor of juvenile old men. Around the west, the Asian community has been seen as a joke to the American audience as some sort of racial punchline, or to force their agenda of patriotism..."

Hayumi said, as the trio would enter the ring, while Sterling nods, as there were people who finally get his message.

Hayumi Yamamoto: "But, unlike you... we are women of action." 


She said, lowering the microphone, as Cappadonna and Nari step forward, as the bigger Nari Chang would strike at him with clubbing blows. Cappadonna would then pull out some nunchaku from the back of her tights, getting a pop from the crowd, and commentary.

Tripp Bennett: The Satsujin Triad are dealing out a prison beating to SJW!

Alivia Takasoto: I mean...come on...it was only a matter of time before someone did...


She would then sling her weapon across his chest, torso and back, as he was forced to his knees. Nari would then tuck both of his arms back, as Hayumi would run to the ropes and level him with a big scissor kick to the back of the head, while all three would revel in their boos and some cheers on the violent beatdown.



The scene slowly opens to a black and white filter, in a apartment complex in Cleveland, Ohio. The skies are gray and the weather is gloomy. Some wind, some rain. We hear a woman's voice talking.

”The light that blinds us, could also be the light that guides us. The hand that feeds us can also be the one that bites us. And the family that raises us...Can also be the family that destroys us. Do we ever know what's coming our way? Do we always know what is going to happen next? We never do. It's up to us to decipher what is real and what's not.”

”But here's the thing. No matter what is “Right or Wrong”, just doesn't matter to me. What does is cashing checks. I'm here to make money. I'm here to make sure that no one can outwork me. And no one will. You see, I'm a second generation wrestler. I'm a second generation prodigy that can do anything she wants to. My dad is Nick Riot. He was a legend all around the industry. Do I have big shoes to fill? Absolutely. Do I care? Not at all. You see, my only legacy that I care about is mine. And nothing will change that.”

Throughout all of this, we don't see who this woman is at all. All we see is merely the door to her apartment. The camera shows a fan blowing off in the distance somewhat. Finally, the woman makes her presence known, but we still don't see her. The camera only focuses on her black boots, with the word “violence” across the seams.

”I've been through Hell and back. But I don't give a damn if you know it or not. I don't give a damn if you know that I am as vicious as they come. The only thing that I am worried about you knowing is the fear that I am about to instill in you. When I come off the top rope, or lock you in a deadly hold...I want you to feel every single ounce of it. Why? Because it make me smile. Because only then will you know that the end is near.”

”Your end is near. And my story is just beginning. The age of Fusion, Breakthrough or any other show is officially over. The supershows? Canceled. Nothing in life is guaranteed. And it never will be. Wins. Losses. None of it is ever guaranteed. Unless you are in the ring with me. A woman who is not afraid, and never intimidated.”

The camera then begins to slowly make its way from the ground up. We see a woman wearing black and white facepaint, just as the camera effect turns from black and white to normal color. With that, she's also sporting a black tanktop and black leather shorts with fishnets. Her crimson red hair is certainly the stand out in her appearance.

”I am The Fallen Prophet...Serena Riot. And Zion Wrestling is about to expierence a different type of athlete all together. They are going to witness someone who is going to come in and make them regret every life choice they have ever made up until this point. And the best part? I get to watch it all unfold. And their time is now mine. Me? I'm just simply waiting until they go past their expiration date.”

She smiles. ”Tick. Tock."

MAIN EVENT: Daria Dorsey vs. Anthony Cross © (YOUTUBE! Championship Match)

Alex Lawson: The following match is scheduled for one fall...and is for The YOUTUBE! CHAMPIONSHIP!



The Iconic Hook Of "Still" Would Play, As Daria Has A Slow Strut Toward The Ring, Looking To Put The Hurt On Whoever She Shares A Ring With. She Enters Through The Middle Rope And Posed, Bowing To The Crowd And Looking Up With A Smirk. She Raised Her Arms Up In A Confident Pose To Allow The Crowds To Bow In Her Majesty, As She Awaits Her Opponent.



Natural Born Killaz By Ice Cube And Dr. Dre Starts Playing Throughout The Arena. Smoke Comes From The Entrance Way. As The Smoke Is Clearing, Anthony Walks Through The Smoke And Looks Out At The Crowd, YOUTUBE Title draped over his shoulder. Anthony Then Walks Down To The Ring. He Walks Up The Stairs Onto The Ring Apron, Looks Out At The Crowd And Lifts His Title up for all to see. Anthony Steps Through The Top And Middle Ropes. Anthony Walks Over To The Opposite Ring Ropes And Lifts the title once more.

Cross’ music fades as the two competitors meet in the center of the ring. The arena is plunged into darkness, with spotlights being placed on Dorsey and Cross.

Alex Lawson: Introducing the challenger...from Rochester, New York...weighing in at 152 lbs...DARIAAAAAA!! DORRRRSEYYYYY!!

And her opponent...from Brooklyn, New York...weighing in at 275 lbs...he is THE YOUTUBE CHAMPION….”ENFORCER”! ANTHONYYYY!! CROSSSSS!!

The referee takes the title from Cross before showing it off to both competitors. He lifts the title into the air before handing it off to the timekeeper! Cross and Dorsey take to separate corners as the ref calls for the bell and lights come back up!



Cross and Dorsey circle each other in the ring. Dorsey goes for a collar and elbow tie up, but gets immediately shoved down by the larger Cross! She makes her way to one knee, as Cross gives her a little smirk, to which she answers with a grimace. She returns to her feet and the two circle each other again. Dorsey goes for the collar and elbow again, but before Cross can shove her back down, she quickly twists the arm, hunching the big man over! He struggles to get out of the hold for a bit, before Dorsey lifts up and leg and gives him a kick to the gut, followed by a side Russian Leg Sweep!

Cross is the one scrambling to get to one knee now! She gives Cross a cocky stare as he meets her gaze! He gets up and immediately rushes Dorsey, but she has it scouted! She sidesteps Cross, throwing him into the ropes! He bounces off and Dorsey dodges him with Dropdown! He bounces from the other side, and Dorsey attempts Leapfrog, but NO! Cross catches her and plants her into the mat with Double Leg Takedown! He mounts Dorsey as she gets her hands up to defend herself! Cross starts to strike Dorsey with a bevy of forearms, the first two failing to get past her arms! But Cross comes down harder, breaking through her defenses and landing the next few strikes straight to her head! Cross feels confident enough to go for a pin!

ONE…!

TW-

Kick out from Dorsey! Cross lifts her back to her feet to give her more punishment, but before he can act, Dorsey swats away his hands and lands a mean right hook across his face as a receipt! He touches his hands to his nose and sees that it’s bleeding from the heavy shot! He becomes furious before beginning to rush Dorsey! But before he can get a shot in, Dorsey starts to bear down on him with an array of heavy and calculated punches, showing off her boxing skill! She pushes him back into the ropes before going for an Irish Whip. Cross reverses though, sending her to the opposite side of the ring instead! He awaits Dorsey’s return, not expecting her to jump onto the second rope! She dismounts with a huge Springboard Uppercut, driving Cross to the mat! Dorsey covers!

ONE…!

TW-

Cross kicks out! Dorsey immediately gets up and calls for Cross to do the same. She waits for Cross to make it to a knee before going for a Thrust Kick, but NO! Cross side steps it, grabbing for Dorsey’s waist and hitting a German Suplex! He keeps Dorsey trapped, transitioning the hold into another German Suplex! He gets her up and attempts a third, but Dorsey just manages to hook a leg, getting Cross into a Victory Roll pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kick out from Cross! Dorsey hopes back to her feet, running the ropes and hitting a leaping Meteora to a seated Cross! She gets Cross to his feet and attempts a Vertical Suplex, but Cross refuses to go up! He fights to plant his feet to the mat before eventually reversing the move into a suplex of his own! He lifts Dorsey off the ground and presses her over his head before going for Gorilla Press Slam! But Dorsey somehow lands on her feet, hitting a Thrust Kick to a turning Cross that sends him to a knee! She sees her chance and goes for the ropes, before hitting Cross with the FIRESPIN DDT!! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THRE-

Kick out from Cross! Dorsey is in shock! She argues with the ref over the legitimacy of the count for a bit, before deciding to slowly mount the top rope. She stands and waits for Cross to return to his feet, before jumping from the top rope knees out, looking for a Diving Meteora, but Cross catches her! He runs for the ropes, dumping her onto the apron and eventually onto the floor! The ref begins his count as Cross leaves the ring to retrieve his opponent. He lifts Dorsey to her feet before getting her in position for Powerbomb on the concrete, but she reverses with a Back Body Drop! She goes for the apron and waits for Cross to get up, then runs at him and hits a Cannonball!

She lets out a scream to the crowd, before rolling under the ropes to break the 10 count! She lifts Cross onto her feet, hoping to get him back into the ring to seal the deal. But Cross uses his remaining energy to drive Dorsey into the corner of the ring! The back of her head smacks against the ring post, and Dorsey’s eyes immediately go glassy! Cross gets up and rolls her back into the rind before noticing the blood on his nose once again. His face turns to an instant, glowing rage as he reaches under the ring and grabs two chairs to throw into the ring! He puts one under a lying Dorsey’s head and grabs hold of the other, preparing to smash her head between the two before the ref intervenes!

The ref takes the first chair from Cross as Dorsey makes it to her feet. The ref turns his back to throw the foreign object out of the ring, giving Cross a window to grab up Dorsey and hit her with the DEATH PENALTY DDT ON THE SECOND CHAIR!! He hurries to slide the chair under the bottom rope before the sound alerts the referee! He goes for the cover!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!



Alex Lawson: Here is your winner...and STILL your YOUTUBE! Champion….Anthony! Cross!

Tripp Bennett: Though it wasn't by the most savory of means, Anthony Cross gets the win here tonight!

Alivia Takasoto: That’s definitely no way for a champion to conduct himself in a fight! The ref needs to do his job and restart the match! Or better yet? Just award the title to Dorsey straight out!

Dorsey rolls out of the ring as Cross raises the YOUTUBE! Title in victory! Just then, Eddie Williams' music hits and Cross’ attention is directed down the ramp!

::OWIE SHARP::
Wow. What a DISGRACE!!! I cannot believe that the inevitable has been delayed… for THIS!!

The fans boo as Owie continues.

::OWIE SHARP::
Anthony Cross, you may have an impressive look to you… but it’s just that. Looks. My Flawless right hand man could out wrestle you AND your “contender”, there, ANY day of the week and twice on Sundays! My client should be the FLAWLESS, SPORTOPIAN YouTube champion right now… but instead, because of…

He uses his cane to point to the champion.

::OWIE SHARP::
...your brutishness, and...

And then, he turns the cane to Daria.

::OWIE SHARP::
...your ego… he is not. And that is a DAMN TRAVESTY!!!!

From there, he hands the microphone to Eddie. The look on Eddie’s face seems a mixture of both confusion and disgust at what he’s seeing in the ring.

:::“FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
Seriously?! THIS is some of the best that Zion has to offer?! NO WAY!!! There’s only one right answer, here… and that’s ME, kicking Anthony Cross’s teeth in, taking that YouTube title and giving it the starpower it so DESPERATELY needs!!! And then, afterwards, throwing Daria Dorsey away like the trash that she is.

The fans boo Eddie for his words. Eddie’s head darts around the arena, and a smile formulates on his face. He points upwards.

:::“FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
You hear that? Listen well. You hear it? That, right there, tells you that these fans, whether they wanna admit it or not, would PAY to see ME as YouTube champion! Sure, they politely give you your “OHHHS” and your “AHHHS” every time you do something explosive… but the rest of the time you’re in that ring, they fall asleep.

The booing only grows louder as the fans grow more restless with Eddie’s presence.

:::“FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
I, on the other hand? I CAPTIVATE them, I KEEP them entertained! Because I’m just too Goddamn good. These fans know it, Kai Morgan knows it, all the guys and gals in the back know it, and you two ESPECIALLY know it!!!

At this point, the energy and tension in that room are reaching a fever pitch. Eddie throws his hands up.

:::“FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
I won’t waste anymore time. Instead, I’ll state my business once more. That YouTube title rightly belongs around MY waist. Not yours, Anthony Cross, and ESPECIALLY not around YOURS, Daria!! Because I am… %100 FLAWLESS!!!!!!

Cross smirks and snickers before grabbing a microphone and answering.

Anthony Cross: Listen kid, as I just showed tonight, I can take on anyone, anywhere! In fact, we do have a little PPV coming up by the name of FallOut! So how about there, you take on me for this?

The two stand off and Cross raises his title in the air. It looks as though we’re about to cut to black but…

THWACK!

Dorsey just got a hold of one of the chairs at ringside! She just re-entered the ring and hit Anthony Cross across his back with it! Eddie tries to intervene, but he receives a chair shot for his troubles as well, causing Owie Sharp to scurry! She throws the chair to the mat, before shouting at the two about how the title is hers! She grabs the belt from the mat and raises it in the air as we fade to black.
