Cutting Backstage, We Spot Razzles Mars Seated On A Production Crate. Gently Kicking Her Legs, Her Heels Hitting The Metal Box. The Text At The Bottom Of The Screen Reads "Earlier Today." Razzles Further Exemplifies This By Being Dressed In "Street Wear," Which Featured A Chaz Holiday Tee Tied Off At The Navel, And A Pair Of White Skinny Cut Jeans And Pink Tennis Shoes, And The White Stick Of A Lollipop Protruding From Her Mouth. She Pops It Out, Idle Hands Giving It A Twirl At The Stick. Her Tongue Is A Vibrant Shade Of Green, Matching The Sweet.
Razzles Mars: Absolute Crackerjack Of A Night One Of Youtube Invasion, Right? I Couldn't Be More Chuffed To Be In The Opening Match Of Night Two, Setting The Tone For Such A Difficult Night To Follow.
She Smiles, Though It Is Apparent There's A Touch Of Nervousness To It. A Free Hand Raking Through Her Pink Curls.
Razzles Mars: But It's Hard To Ignore The Elephant In The Room Here. The Last Chance Triple Threat On Fusion Hadn't Gone As Ideally As I'd Hoped. Thalia Absolutely Was In The Right Place, At The Right Time. She Made An Absolute Gif-Worthy Moment Of Kicking Out Of The Air Which Is Just As Crazy Being The One Who Was Kicked As It Looked On Telly, And In Doing So, She Secured The Best Possible Spot Remaining In The Gauntlet. This Leaves Daria To Enter At Number One... And Yours Truly To Take The Spot Of The Second Entrant.
Pensive, She Pauses. Collecting Herself As A Bout Of Nerves Rattles Her. Exhaling Deep, She Continues.
Razzles Mars: As I'm Certain You've Guessed... This Is Going To Make The Mountain That I Need To Climb To Obtain The Chance Briefcase That Much Taller Of A Hurdle. Now, Normally... I'm The Type To Let My Ring Work Speak For Itself. I've Seen Too Many Sourballs Hype Themselves Up And Fall Flat On Their Faces. But, This Match Really Feels Like The Culmination... The Apex, Of What I Signed A Zion Wrestling Contract For. Nights Like Last Night Were, And Nights Like Tonight Will Be... Are What I Am A Professional Wrestler FOR. And A Misstep Like Fusion's Main Event Won't Change That.
She Finds A Small, Albeit Anxious Smile.
Razzles Mars: But I Think That It Also Has Made People A Bit Forgetful About Me. Thalia Is A Spectacular Talent, But When I See People Who Make Their Wagers Of Who's Going To Walk Away With The Briefcase, My Name Isn't One That Comes Up Often In The Conversation. I Hear A Lot Of 'Thalia Knows How To Take Advantage Of Prime Opportunities,' And 'Quinn Is An Absolute Unit, She's A Hoss,' Or People Saying That This Is The Chance Tanya Needs To Elevate Herself Or That Daria Is Battle Tested And Has What It Takes To Win It All From Number One... And Yeah. Absolutely. All Of These Things Can Be, And Are, True. But, I've Been Here A Few Weeks Now. I've Never Been Pinned. I've Never Been Made To Submit. The Only Blemishes On My Record Are From Disqualifications Or Being The Uninvolved In A Triple Threat. That, Alone, Would Be Motivation To Bring All That I Have To Keep The Ball Moving... But It's Not All That There Is To Me.
Razzles Said, Her Expression Tensing Some. Not In A Nervous Way, But A Determined One, With Her Jaw Clenching And Her Nostrils Giving A Flare.
Razzles Mars: I Came To Zion Off The Heels Of One Of The Worst Events Of My Life. Not Only Was I Being Cheated On In A Very Public Way, But He Thought I Was Thick Enough To Believe The Lies About His Discretions. Discretions Which Were So Obvious The Blind Could See Them. It Really Made Me Realize That People... They Tend To Underestimate Me. They Underestimate What I Know, What I Can Do, What I Am Capable Of Achieving. They Think I Don't Have A Thought In My Head Beyond What Sweet I'm Going To Have Next. But, Please Believe Me, I'm Not Daft Enough To Believe That This Match Opening Up Night Two Would Be Easy From Position One, Two, Three, Four, Or Even Five! There Are Some Hungry Girls In This Gauntlet!
Chomp. She Takes A Bite Out Of Her Lollipop. Giving The Confection A Few Solid Crunches Between Her Teeth.
Razzles Mars: But I'm Hungrier!
She Giggled, Her Full Gob Of Course Distorting Those Words. The Jagged, Remaining Lollipop At Her Side As She Slipped Off Of The Production Crate, Landing On Both Feet.
Razzles Mars: All I Have Is Wrestling Now. They Don't Need It The Same Way That I Do. Tanya's Got Her... What Is It? Her Simps? Thalia's Got A Lucrative Career In Cosplay And She'll Have Plenty Of Other Nights But Not This One. Daria And I Are On The Same Page As Far As Odds Go, But She Can't Want This More Than Me - No One Does. Quinn's The Favourite Beyond Doubt, But I'd Endure Anything From Anyone To Prove That I Belong Here! We've Got A Tough Show To Follow, But I'm Ready To Make History. And I'm Ready To Show Everyone Who Thinks Me To Be Some Weak Little Thing That They're Wrong... I'm Goin' From Two To Five And I'm Going To Give It Ll That I've Got To Earn That Briefcase!
The Broken Lollipop Returned Into Her Mouth, As We Transition Away.
And NOW! Zion Wrestling Presents...YouTube Invasion: New York!
The cold open cuts out as we see a wall of pyro explode from an extremely tall set! The wall is lined with an enormous LED titantron with a cylindrical mini-tron set underneath! Each side of the stage is adorned with two giant, lit up, triangular entryways, each one with the third point of the triangle sinking into the stage below! The fans in a sold out Barclays Center are on their feet as the commentary team greets the fans at home!
Tripp Bennett: An amazing night of Zion action in the books...and we're not even halfway done! Welcome everyone...to YouTube Invasion: New York NIGHT TWO! I'm Tripp Bennett, joined as always by my broadcast colleague, Alivia Takasoto!
Alivia Takasoto: To say that last night was amazing is an understatement is an understatement, Tripp! We saw two new champions being crowned, a blood-soaked battle for the ages, and the Zion debut of the SuperNova! But tonight, we've got a hell of a lot in store for you as well, so let's get to it!
Alex Lawson: The following contest...is a Gauntlet Eliminator Match...and it is for the Chance Briefcase!
We pan out to the Barclays center, as the opening match was set to take place while the crowd was anticipating the second night of the Zion Invasion. "Still" by Geto Boys would play, signaling Daria Dorsey's entrace, though she didn't enter from the opening ramp.
The tron would go to an outside view, as we see a black hang glider being filmed landing on the roof. We see Daria Dorsey wearing camouflage tights and a black top with an eyepatch, resembling Snake Plissken from Escape from New York. She opened a hatch and repelled down to the ring below for the roaring hometown crowd extremely nervous for the match, and knowing she had a long fight ahead of her.
Alex Lawson: Introducing the competitor at #1...from Rochester, New York...weighing in at 152 lbs…”The Zenith of Zion”...Daria! Dorsey!
Tripp Bennett: WHOA!
Alivia Takasoto: Talk about making an entrance!
She would get on the turnbuckle and pose, pointing at some fans in the audience, before taking the patch off and tossing it to the crowd, anticipating Razzles Mars, the first of her many opponents.
A Pulsing Beat Of Light Flickers The Stage And The Fans In Hues Of Pink. It Flashes, Before The Howling Starting Notes Of "Strawberry Shake" By POP LEVI Reverberate Through The PA System.
AWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The Beat Increases, As "Strawberry Shake" Gets Into Its Energetic Beat. Razzles Mars Excitedly Rushes Out Past The Velvet Lined Curtains, A Lollipop's Stick Seen Prodding From Between Her Lips. She Bounces On The Stage, Hands Clapping In Time With The Beat, Hyping Up The Crowd.
Alex Lawson: On Her Way To The Ring, Hailing From The Candy Kingdom, Weighing In At...
He Pauses, Some Visible Confusion On His Face Leading To Razzles, Who Is Half-Way Down The Ramp Watching With Wide Eyes, Nodding And Encouraging Lawson.
Razzles Mars: You Got This, Mate! Out With It! You Can Do It!
Alex Lawson: 13,607.771 Sugar Packets... This Is Raaaaaazzzzzzzles Maaaaarrsss!
Razzles Mars: YOU DID IT!
She Calls Out Excitedly From Outside Of The Ring, Undoing The Attachments Of Her Entrance Jacket And Skirt.
Tripp Bennett: We kick off night two of YouTube Invasion: New York with what is sure to be an exciting match!
Alivia Takasoto: Exciting is an understatement, Tripp! By the time that second bell rings, one of these five competitors is gonna walk away with the opportunity of a lifetime!
Tripp Bennett: A World Heavyweight Championship match anytime and anywhere hangs in the balance here as we kick off this party in New York! And there’s no one who knows how to make these fans feel like it's a party like Razzles Mars!
She Collects A Few High Fives From The Fans In Attendance, Before Excitedly Climbing The Stairs. Taking A Moment To Pose For Pictures Before Bending Into The Ring Through The Ropes, Rebounding Herself Off The Bottom Rope To Catapult Herself Into The Center Of The Ring With A Very Flouncy Twirl. Striking A Pose With Her Arms Voguing, Her Chin Placed On Her Bridged Fingers Before "Strawberry Shake" Began To Fade In The Distance.
The bell rings as Mars and Dorsey stand across the ring from one another. The two are initially focused on one another, ready to grapple, but just then, the crowd whips into a frenzy, stopping the two in their tracks as their attention is pulled! They look around at the sold out Brooklyn crowd, every single member of which is cheering at the top of their lungs for these two amazing athletes. The two take it all in as the crowd begins going into dueling chants for them!
Half of the Crowd: LET’S! GO! DOR-SEY!
Other half of the Crowd: RA-ZZLES! MARS!
Half of the Crowd: LET’S! GO! DOR-SEY!
Other half of the Crowd: RA-ZZLES! MARS!
Tripp Bennett: Will you listen to the overswell of support from these Brooklyn fans?
Alivia Takasoto: This is set to be one of most game changing matches in Zion Wrestling history, and what a pair to kick it off with!
The significance of the moment dawns on these two as they begin to get caught up in it! Razzles’ eyes especially begin to well up as a quivering smile crosses her face! The already tangible energy between the two seemingly goes into overdrive, as they immediately and quickly go into a collar-and-elbow tie up! The two struggle for control for a bit, with both competitors hopped up on too much adrenaline to even think about letting the other gain control! Eventually, Dorsey is the one to take control, getting a Headlock in on her opponent! Mars tries to pry the arm from around her head, but Dorsey quickly cuts her off with a Takeover!
Tripp Bennett: Daria Dorsey’s athletic ability coming to play here!
Alivia Takasoto: You could pump yourself with an IV full of sugar, but the Zenith will always find a way of overpowering you!
It seems as though this may cause a bit of trouble for Mars, but it’s quite the opposite! Mars gets her legs up almost immediately after hitting the mat to get Headscissors in on Dorsey! Her shoulders touch the mat, but she immediately kicks out before the ref can even start a count! The two return to their feet and immediately go back to the collar-and-elbow! This time, Mars is the one to get control, snatching Dorsey's arm and applying a Wristlock! Dorsey is kneeling on the mat now in a struggle! But out of nowhere she feels a slight slap on her hand! Mars just gave her a high five! She slowly peers up to meet the gaze of Mars, who returns her narrow-eyed gaze with a wide toothy smile and a thumbs up! Dorsey now pushes up from the hold, catching the arm of Mars before wrenching it and smacking her with a Hook Kick to the stomach!
Tripp Bennett: OOF!
Alivia Takasoto: The fun and games are over it seems! Look at the look on Razzles' face!
Tripp Bennett: This match just kicked into a whole other level in short order!
The kick clearly takes a lot of the wind out of Mars’ sails, and also removes the sunny disposition from Mars’ face! She starts to get serious now, unloading a stiff Chop across the chest of Dorsey as she turns around! Dorsey’s face turns red as she recoils from the shot, now she’s ready to brawl! She turns to face Mars, who goes for a second chop, but Dorsey cuts her off with a Thrust Kick! The strike sends Mars to the mat, but Dorsey isn’t finished with her yet! She gets her up and in position for a Spike Piledriver, but when she goes to lift her up, Mars reverses with a Hurricanrana! Dorsey and Mars both get back up to a vertical base at the same time, but Dorsey is the first to charge! Mars has this scouted and cuts her off with a Double Foot Stomp! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Dorsey! Razzles looks down at Dorsey, then up in disappointment. You can see that she was hoping for way more than a two count! But she has no time to process that, as the countdown timer pops up on the titantron!
Tripp Bennett: Another competitor’s gonna be joining us here shortly!
Alivia Takasoto: As we found out the other night on Fusion, Thalia Starks is gonna be coming in now! Let’s see what she brings to this match!
FIVE…!
FOUR…!
THREE…!
TWO…!
ONE!
Tripp Bennett: Thalia Marks wasting no time as she enters here tonight!
Alivia Takasoto: And why would she? This is the opportunity of a lifetime! And given the physicality in the match so far, she’s got two easy pickings in Mars and Dorsey!
Thalia Starks rushes down the entrance ramp and slides into the ring under the bottom rope, which prompts Mars to get up and take advantage! She goes for a Big Boot, but Starks ducks underneath, hitting the ropes and catching Mars with a Running DDT! Mars head thumps against the mat, but she’s not down yet, making it up to her hands and knees! Starks decides to cut this off quickly, hitting a Standing Moonsault across the back of Mars, sending her collapsing to the mat! Starks rolls her over and goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Mars! Starks wants to go for another move, but just then Dorsey comes up from behind! She grabs Starks and attempts to throw her out of the ring though the middle rope! But instead of falling all the way to the floor at ringside, Starks swoops her way back into the ring Tiger Feint style! She catches Dorsey, who’s now turned her back to her, with a Running Bulldog! Dorsey’s head thumps off the mat now, with the move bouncing her back up to a knee! She’s facing the corner perfectly, allowing Starks to run to it to gear up, before running to Dorsey and smashing her with a Dropkick that sends her into the opposite corner! She follows it up with Running Body Splash in the corner! Before Starks can capitalize though, Mars is back up, hitting a running Meteora into the corner that clips both Starks and Dorsey on the head! She takes advantage, pinning Starks in an O’Connor Roll!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Starks that sends Mars stumbling forward, right into a Knee from Dorsey! Mars flops to mat from the brutal shot to the head, before rolling out of the ring! Just then, Dorsey looks up from Mars to see Thalia Starks with her eyes fixed on her! The two can’t take their eyes off of one another as Dorsey draws herself out of the corner and towards her adversary! The “ooo’s” and “aaa’s” of the crowd start to escalate!
Tripp Bennett: These two former LFL players look as though they’re seeing each other for the first time here!
Alivia Takasoto: This right here is what the blue brand is all about, Tripp! This history, this is chemistry, this is raw energy coming out from these two! And it’s about to explode all over this ring now!
The two are done staring and quickly start throwing right hands to each other! The two are evenly matched at first, but Dorsey’s strikes become too much for Starks as she stumbles back! Taking advantage, Dorsey goes for a Thrust Kick to Starks! But Starks dodges it, attempting to capitalize with a Dropkick to Dorsey, but NO! Dorsey sidesteps the move, allowing Starks to fall to the mat! She gets to her hands and knees as she attempts to get up, but Dorsey once again gets the upper hand, catching her with a La Majistral pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Starks, who’s able to get up faster than Dorsey! Stark slips behind her as she reaches a seated position and puts her into a Crucifix pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Dorsey! The two now reach their feet at the same time at the opposite sides of the ring! They charge towards one another, neither one wanting to give the other the upper hand! They meet in the center of the ring, hitting each other with stiff Lariats and sending each other to the mat simultaneously as well! And then, just like clockwork, the countdown timer pops up on the titantron again!
Tripp Bennett: You talked about easy pickings earlier, Alivia! I don’t think the pickings get easier than this!
Alivia Takasoto: Tonya Marks is about to have a field day here! All three competitors currently in this match are down!
Crowd: FIVE…!
FOUR…!
THREE…!
TWO…!
ONE!
Tripp Bennett: Out comes “Totally” Tonya Marks, who has to be feeling confident in their chances here tonight!
Alivia Takasoto: Talk about easy pickings, Tripp, Tonya Marks has the chance to wipe three competitors out in one go here!
Tonya Marks struts out onto the stage, immediately seeing the pile of corpses occupying the ring! They rush down to the ring, immediately going for a pin on Thalia Starks!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Starks! Marks doesn’t waste any time, though, rushing over to a still prone Daria Dorsey to do the same!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Dorsey! Marks is now livid at the amount of effort they seemingly have to exert to put these two away! They get to their feet, ready to take the fight to Starks and Dorsey! But the moment they get to a vertical base, they’re immediately cut down by a Running Dropkick from a returning Razzles Mars! Marks falls back seated in the corner, leaving an opening for Mars to attack with a Cannonball! She rolls back to her feet before backing into the other corner of the ring and rushing to Marks to hit a Sliding D!
Tripp Bennett: These Brooklyn fans are going rabid for Razzles Mars here!
Alivia Takasoto: You can’t say she doesn’t make it easy for them! Look at that girl go!
Mars gets up and stands in the center of the ring, letting out a huge yell to hype up the crowd considerably! She starts to dance a little as the crowd breaks into their familiar chant!
“RAZZLES, RAZZLES MARS! RAZZLES MARS! RAZZLES, RAZZLES MARS!”
The sing-along is cut off however, as Mars is brought to the mat with a Chop Block by a recovered Dorsey! She keeps a hold on Mars’ leg, putting a foot on her thigh before flipping over with it in tow, tweaking the knee! Mars is in agony now as Dorsey gets up, only to be met with a Dropkick by a returning Thalia Starks that sends her to the mat! She takes advantage of the prone Dorsey, hitting her with a Standing Moonsault! She goes for a pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
T-
Kick out by Dorsey! Starks gets up to her knees from the pin, just in time to see Tonya Marks rushing straight towards her to hit a Hip Attack! They cover for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Starks! Marks isn’t done dealing out punishment, though, lifting their adversary up to her feet by her hair! Before Marks can make a move, though, Razzles Mars sails above a hunched over Starks to hit Tonya Marks with a Dropkick! She rolls off the bending back of Starks, before using the leverage to catch her into another O’Connor Roll!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Starks escapes, rolling Mars into a pin of her own!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Mars! Meanwhile, Dorsey and Marks trade blows on the other side of the ring! Marks goes for a Big Boot, but Dorsey ducks underneath before running towards the ropes! She bounces off the ropes, going for a Springboard Uppercut, but NO! Marks snatches her out of mid-air, getting her in a Ripcord position before pushing her out and pulling her back into Knee Strike! They pull Dorsey in again, this time going for a Headbutt! Dorsey is in real trouble now, as Marks gets her in position for Adjustments! Meanwhile, Starks has Mars in position for the Skeleton Key!
Tripp Bennett: These four competitors have been going wild since the opening bell!
Alivia Takasoto: Any one of these four could make a case for walking out of here the winner...and we don’t even have everyone out here yet!
Marks and Starks look as though they’re about to hit their respective Signatures, but just then, the countdown timer displays itself on the screen once more!
Crowd: TEN…!
NINE…!
Starks and Marks have their eyes fixed up the rampway now. They relieve their grips of Dorsey and Mars as the timer draws closer to zero.
EIGHT…!
SEVEN…!
SIX…!
Tripp Bennett: I think the competitors in this match just realized that too, Alivia!
FIVE…!
FOUR…!
Alivia Takasoto: I think they realized that they have a hell of a lot more to deal with than just another competitor!
Dorsey and Mars are up now as all four competitors have their eyes fixed up the rampway, ready for what’s coming next!
THREE…!
TWO…!
ONE…!
Tripp Bennett: Here comes Quinn Costa!!
Alivia Takasoto: Trust me, Tripp, everyone is well aware!
Quinn Costa rushes down to the ring with all four competitors ready for a fight from her! She slides in the ring under the bottom rope and the four immediately jump on top of her, raining on her with strikes in order to eliminate the dominant competitor! They seem to have her incapacitated, but she suddenly let’s out a huge burst of energy, pushing back all four of her adversaries with a giant shove! Costa makes it to her feet, just in time to see Thalia Starks charging at her! She catches Starks with a Running Lariat, before snatching Razzle Mars out of an attempted Running Crossbody! She turns around with Mars in hand, just in time to throw her into a charging Tonya Marks! Daria Dorsey takes advantage of Costa while her back is turned, clubbing her with a forearm to the back! Costa turns around, and before Dorsey can go for another strike, she grabs her and throws her with a Belly to Belly Suplex!
Tripp Bennett: Quinn Costa is cleaning house right now!
Alivia Takasoto: This is exactly what everyone else in this gauntlet was afraid of! Why do you think they jumped her from the word go?
With everyone down, Costa’s now the one pumping up the Brooklyn crowd! She turns around to see Dorsey recovering and getting to her feet, before picking her up and nailing her with a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!! She bridges for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
TH-
Kick out by Dorsey! But before Costa can get off of her back, Razzles Mars flies in from out of nowhere, hitting THE MARS ROVER on Costa! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Costa! Razzles kneels up before her opposition, leaving her open to be caught with a ROLLING WHEEL KICK by Thalia Starks! Before she can capitalize, though, Tonya Marks re-enters the fray, hitting Starks with a Knee! She goes backfirst to the mat, leaving her open for Marks to run the ropes and hit her with THIGH’S THE LIMIT!! Marks attempts to go for a pin, but is quickly stopped by something pulling them from behind! It’s Daria Dorsey, who pulls them into a Ripcord position before taking them down with the TRUCKSTOP! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE-
Kick out by Marks! Dorsey is in shock! She lifts Marks to their feet and tries getting them in position for the Phoenix Driver, but NO! Marks slips her grip, before pushing The Zenith of Zion out of the ring! As Marks follows her to the outside, we can also see Quinn Costa and Razzles Mars getting into it on the other side of the ring! The two trade blows, leveling each other with strikes back and forth!
Meanwhile, Marks catches up to Dorsey at ringside, grabbing her by the hair and ramming her head into the barricade! Dorsey staggers over to the other side of the ring, trying to gain some distance! But Marks still doesn’t let up, ramming her head into the ringpost now! Eventually the skirmish between the two catches up to Costa and Mars as the four continue to fight one another on the outside. Inside the ring and seeing her chance, however, Thalia Starks climbs to the top rope! The four competitors outside start to cluster more and more together, before Starks dives off, sending them all to the floor with a COFFIN DROP!!
Tripp Bennett: WHOA!
The crowd starts to break out into “HOLY SHIT!” chants!
Alivia Takasoto: Holy shit indeed! This match has been 100 miles an hour from the beginning, and we haven’t even gotten an elimination!
Tripp Bennett: I have a feeling that’s about to change!
Starks gets back up to her feet at ringside, before picking Tonya Marks out of the pile of corpses on the ground! She throws them back into the ring under the bottom rope, before following them in! Before she can do anything though, Marks is back up, going for one last swing at Starks, but NO! Starks gets them up before driving them into the mat with THE GAMBIT!! Starks goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!
Alex Lawson: Tonya Marks has been eliminated!
Marks rolls out of the ring as an out-of-breath Starks kneels on the mat! She slowly makes it back to her feet before attempting to return to the laid out bodies of her opponents at ringside. But as soon as she approaches the ropes, she gets caught out of nowhere with a Shoulder Block by Razzles Mars! Starks is hunched over now as Mars makes it to the apron! She hops over before driving Starks’ head to the mat with THE MARS-IPAN KABLAM!! She capitalizes, jumping onto the top rope and hitting Starks with the PEPPERMINT TWIST!! She stays on for the pin!!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!
Alex Lawson: Thalia Starks has been eliminated!
Tripp Bennett: And within a matter of minutes, we’re now down to three!
Alivia Takasoto: And what a three it is, Tripp! Any of these three women could easily walk out of here with the chance to become World Champion!
Mars sits up from the pin as Starks rolls out of the ring! A look of exasperation and exhaustion crosses her face as Dorsey and Costa rise from the ground at ringside! They both slide into the ring at the same time as Mars shuffles to her feet! The three start to circle around one another, each one waiting for the other to make a move! Eventually, Dorsey cuts through the tension, sending a stiff Right Hook across the jaw of Costa while she’s caught off guard! The fight is on as Dorsey and Mars start to trade strikes, they’re firing at will here!
The strikes continue to pick up steam, until Costa gets back into this, tackling both competitors! The impact sends Mars straight to the mat, but Dorsey instead falls out of the ring! Costa follows Dorsey out, being immediately met with a set of weaker strikes from The Zenith done in a bid to defend herself! None of them work, however, as Costa still gets her position before tossing her into the barricade with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Dorsey barely has a moment to register the pain to her back before Costa lifts her up again, this time getting her in position for a Vertical Suplex on the floor at ringside! She goes for the full lift, but Dorsey doesn’t budge, hooking a leg to keep herself vertical. Eventually, Dorsey summons the strength needed to get Costa off of her feet to hit a Suplex of her own!
Tripp Bennett: What a display of strength by Daria Dorsey!
Alivia Takasoto: Yeah, but was it the smartest move? Exerting all that strength and taking the concrete floor to the back can’t be great for endurance in a match like this!
Dorsey slowly starts to make it back to her feet, with Costa not far behind! She crawls up onto the apron, getting to a knee up there as she watches Costa slowly rise to a vertical base at ringside! Dorsey runs towards her, possibly looking for a Cannonball, but NO! Razzles Mars gets back in this now, driving Dorsey down to the apron with a Clothesline on the ropes! Dorsey slumps down to ringside with Costa, as Mars sees her chance! She runs the ropes to gain momentum, before diving out to hit both of her opponents with a Suicide Dive!! Dorsey and Costa are both out now! Mars takes advantage, rolling Costa back into the ring and going for a cover!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
Kick out by Costa! Mars isn’t giving up however! She scales the turnbuckles in the corner, making her way to the top rope! The crowd is in excitement now as Mars stands on the top turnbuckle! She dives off looking for The Peppermint Twist, but NO! Costa recovers and catches Mars out of mid-air with ease! She walks her around the ring for a bit, setting up for a possibly devastating move! But when she turns around once more, she’s met with a Thrust Kick by a returning Daria Dorsey! Costa drops Mars on the mat before staggering back! She tries to regain her wits about her, but she can’t do so in time to avoid a FIRESPIN DDT from Dorsey!
Tripp Bennett: Firespin by Dorsey! Costa’s out of this one!
Alivia Takasoto: Doesn’t look like Dorsey’s taking any chances though!
She’s not done yet however! She gets her up for the Phoenix Driver, but NO! Costa slips her grip! She gets behind Dorsey, pushing her into the corner, before rolling her up for the Quinn-Plex! She gets the first roll in, but as she pops up to hit the German, Razzles Mars catches her with a Double Foot Stomp to the head! The intervention causes Dorsey to break free as Costa hits the mat! She gets up, looking at Mars and Costa in a daze, before picking Costa up and nailing her with the PHOENIX DRIVER!! Dorsey goes for the pin, with Mars climbing on top!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!
Alex Lawson: Quinn Costa has been eliminated!
Tripp Bennett: We’re now down to our final two here in this match! These two athletes have outlasted the entire field to get to this moment!
Alivia Takasoto: This right here is what it all comes down to! These are the types of moments that can make a star out of anyone! Moments of survival like these are what can immortalize you! So these two better take in all the fan admiration while they can, because right now, they’re about to fight for their place in history!
Dorsey and Mars are laid out besides each other as Costa rolls out of the ring! Both of them worn down, both of them out of breath, yet both of them are still in this match! They turn their heads on the canvas to face each other at the same time! Both start slowly getting to their feet before beginning to exchange blows! They fire shot after shot at one another, neither one of them willing to give the other the upper hand! Eventually, Mars pushes Dorsey away to get some room! But Dorsey isn’t done yet, though, going for a Lariat to Mars, but NO! Mars slips underneath, catching the swinging arm of Dorsey to trap her into a Backslide Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
Dorsey kicks out, swiftly getting up as Mars remains on her hands and knees! She takes advantage, trapping Mars into an Oklahoma Roll Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
Kick out by Mars! Both competitors are up now! They run towards each other, with Mars getting the jump on Dorsey by slipping behind her with a Schoolboy Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
Kickout by Dorsey, to which Mars uses to her immediate advantage, keeping Dorsey’s right leg in hand as she goes for the Stretch Muffler! She has the move locked in tight as Dorsey screams in agony! She struggles to get any movement towards an escape going as all of her blood rushes to her head! Mars keeps wrenching the move in tighter and tighter, causing Dorsey to start kicking with her free leg out of desperation! She throws a few wild swings towards Mars, before one finally catches her on the side of the head, causing her to release the hold! Dorsey flips to her feet as Mars recovers. But before Dorsey can regain momentum, Mars catches her with the EVERLASTING GOBBSTOPPER!! RAZZLES MARS WITH THE PIN!! SHE COULD WIN IT RIGHT HERE!!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Shoulder up at the very last possible moment by Daria Dorsey! Mars is nearly in a panic now! She can’t believe this match is still going! She slowly crawls over to the corner of the ring, before slowly climbing up to her feet using the ropes! She starts to very slowly make her way up the turnbuckles, before positioning herself on the top rope! Mars is ready to cease her moment, soaking in all the admiration of the fans before going for one last Peppermint Twist…
BUT NO, DORSEY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!
Mars finds a way to land on her feet! She sees Dorsey starting to rise to hers as well and doesn’t hesitate, running the ropes and going for a Running Dropkick, but NO! Dorsey catches the legs, dropping Mars backfirst to the mat, before locking in DARIA’S INFERNO!!! Mars is in agony here, but still desperately trying to survive! She starts to scratch and claw her way towards the rope, each push forward giving her more and more hope! She makes it within inches of the bottom rope, she’s just fingertips away…
BUT NO!
Dorsey drags Mars back to the center of the ring, locking in the hold anew! The pain is further exacerbated now, and it becomes too much to ignore! Mars looks as though she’s thinking about how far she’s come in this match, that she can’t give up now! But the pain catches up to her...it’s too much...tears start to fill Mars’ eyes once more as she weakly taps out! This match is over!
Alex Lawson: The winner of this match...and the holder of the Chance Briefcase...Daria! Dorsey!
Tripp Bennett: Though career highs and lows! Through huge victories and crushing defeats, Daria Dorsey finally gets her day in the sun!
Alivia Takasoto: A hell of a victory by Daria Dorsey and a well-earned one at that!! Lasting from #1 all the way to the finish! The Zenith of Zion has every right to be full of herself after tonight!
Dorsey beside herself with excitement! She’s hardly able to believe that she’s won the match as the referee hands her the briefcase! She raises it up in the air, and the fans give a huge pop as we fade out!

And NOW! Zion Wrestling Presents...YouTube Invasion: New York!
The cold open cuts out as we see a wall of pyro explode from an extremely tall set! The wall is lined with an enormous LED titantron with a cylindrical mini-tron set underneath! Each side of the stage is adorned with two giant, lit up, triangular entryways, each one with the third point of the triangle sinking into the stage below! The fans in a sold out Barclays Center are on their feet as the commentary team greets the fans at home!
Tripp Bennett: An amazing night of Zion action in the books...and we're not even halfway done! Welcome everyone...to YouTube Invasion: New York NIGHT TWO! I'm Tripp Bennett, joined as always by my broadcast colleague, Alivia Takasoto!
Alivia Takasoto: To say that last night was amazing is an understatement is an understatement, Tripp! We saw two new champions being crowned, a blood-soaked battle for the ages, and the Zion debut of the SuperNova! But tonight, we've got a hell of a lot in store for you as well, so let's get to it!
Alex Lawson: The following contest...is a Gauntlet Eliminator Match...and it is for the Chance Briefcase!
We pan out to the Barclays center, as the opening match was set to take place while the crowd was anticipating the second night of the Zion Invasion. "Still" by Geto Boys would play, signaling Daria Dorsey's entrace, though she didn't enter from the opening ramp.
The tron would go to an outside view, as we see a black hang glider being filmed landing on the roof. We see Daria Dorsey wearing camouflage tights and a black top with an eyepatch, resembling Snake Plissken from Escape from New York. She opened a hatch and repelled down to the ring below for the roaring hometown crowd extremely nervous for the match, and knowing she had a long fight ahead of her.
Alex Lawson: Introducing the competitor at #1...from Rochester, New York...weighing in at 152 lbs…”The Zenith of Zion”...Daria! Dorsey!
Tripp Bennett: WHOA!
Alivia Takasoto: Talk about making an entrance!
She would get on the turnbuckle and pose, pointing at some fans in the audience, before taking the patch off and tossing it to the crowd, anticipating Razzles Mars, the first of her many opponents.
A Pulsing Beat Of Light Flickers The Stage And The Fans In Hues Of Pink. It Flashes, Before The Howling Starting Notes Of "Strawberry Shake" By POP LEVI Reverberate Through The PA System.
AWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The Beat Increases, As "Strawberry Shake" Gets Into Its Energetic Beat. Razzles Mars Excitedly Rushes Out Past The Velvet Lined Curtains, A Lollipop's Stick Seen Prodding From Between Her Lips. She Bounces On The Stage, Hands Clapping In Time With The Beat, Hyping Up The Crowd.
Alex Lawson: On Her Way To The Ring, Hailing From The Candy Kingdom, Weighing In At...
He Pauses, Some Visible Confusion On His Face Leading To Razzles, Who Is Half-Way Down The Ramp Watching With Wide Eyes, Nodding And Encouraging Lawson.
Razzles Mars: You Got This, Mate! Out With It! You Can Do It!
Alex Lawson: 13,607.771 Sugar Packets... This Is Raaaaaazzzzzzzles Maaaaarrsss!
Razzles Mars: YOU DID IT!
She Calls Out Excitedly From Outside Of The Ring, Undoing The Attachments Of Her Entrance Jacket And Skirt.
Tripp Bennett: We kick off night two of YouTube Invasion: New York with what is sure to be an exciting match!
Alivia Takasoto: Exciting is an understatement, Tripp! By the time that second bell rings, one of these five competitors is gonna walk away with the opportunity of a lifetime!
Tripp Bennett: A World Heavyweight Championship match anytime and anywhere hangs in the balance here as we kick off this party in New York! And there’s no one who knows how to make these fans feel like it's a party like Razzles Mars!
She Collects A Few High Fives From The Fans In Attendance, Before Excitedly Climbing The Stairs. Taking A Moment To Pose For Pictures Before Bending Into The Ring Through The Ropes, Rebounding Herself Off The Bottom Rope To Catapult Herself Into The Center Of The Ring With A Very Flouncy Twirl. Striking A Pose With Her Arms Voguing, Her Chin Placed On Her Bridged Fingers Before "Strawberry Shake" Began To Fade In The Distance.
The bell rings as Mars and Dorsey stand across the ring from one another. The two are initially focused on one another, ready to grapple, but just then, the crowd whips into a frenzy, stopping the two in their tracks as their attention is pulled! They look around at the sold out Brooklyn crowd, every single member of which is cheering at the top of their lungs for these two amazing athletes. The two take it all in as the crowd begins going into dueling chants for them!
Half of the Crowd: LET’S! GO! DOR-SEY!
Other half of the Crowd: RA-ZZLES! MARS!
Half of the Crowd: LET’S! GO! DOR-SEY!
Other half of the Crowd: RA-ZZLES! MARS!
Tripp Bennett: Will you listen to the overswell of support from these Brooklyn fans?
Alivia Takasoto: This is set to be one of most game changing matches in Zion Wrestling history, and what a pair to kick it off with!
The significance of the moment dawns on these two as they begin to get caught up in it! Razzles’ eyes especially begin to well up as a quivering smile crosses her face! The already tangible energy between the two seemingly goes into overdrive, as they immediately and quickly go into a collar-and-elbow tie up! The two struggle for control for a bit, with both competitors hopped up on too much adrenaline to even think about letting the other gain control! Eventually, Dorsey is the one to take control, getting a Headlock in on her opponent! Mars tries to pry the arm from around her head, but Dorsey quickly cuts her off with a Takeover!
Tripp Bennett: Daria Dorsey’s athletic ability coming to play here!
Alivia Takasoto: You could pump yourself with an IV full of sugar, but the Zenith will always find a way of overpowering you!
It seems as though this may cause a bit of trouble for Mars, but it’s quite the opposite! Mars gets her legs up almost immediately after hitting the mat to get Headscissors in on Dorsey! Her shoulders touch the mat, but she immediately kicks out before the ref can even start a count! The two return to their feet and immediately go back to the collar-and-elbow! This time, Mars is the one to get control, snatching Dorsey's arm and applying a Wristlock! Dorsey is kneeling on the mat now in a struggle! But out of nowhere she feels a slight slap on her hand! Mars just gave her a high five! She slowly peers up to meet the gaze of Mars, who returns her narrow-eyed gaze with a wide toothy smile and a thumbs up! Dorsey now pushes up from the hold, catching the arm of Mars before wrenching it and smacking her with a Hook Kick to the stomach!
Tripp Bennett: OOF!
Alivia Takasoto: The fun and games are over it seems! Look at the look on Razzles' face!
Tripp Bennett: This match just kicked into a whole other level in short order!
The kick clearly takes a lot of the wind out of Mars’ sails, and also removes the sunny disposition from Mars’ face! She starts to get serious now, unloading a stiff Chop across the chest of Dorsey as she turns around! Dorsey’s face turns red as she recoils from the shot, now she’s ready to brawl! She turns to face Mars, who goes for a second chop, but Dorsey cuts her off with a Thrust Kick! The strike sends Mars to the mat, but Dorsey isn’t finished with her yet! She gets her up and in position for a Spike Piledriver, but when she goes to lift her up, Mars reverses with a Hurricanrana! Dorsey and Mars both get back up to a vertical base at the same time, but Dorsey is the first to charge! Mars has this scouted and cuts her off with a Double Foot Stomp! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Dorsey! Razzles looks down at Dorsey, then up in disappointment. You can see that she was hoping for way more than a two count! But she has no time to process that, as the countdown timer pops up on the titantron!
Tripp Bennett: Another competitor’s gonna be joining us here shortly!
Alivia Takasoto: As we found out the other night on Fusion, Thalia Starks is gonna be coming in now! Let’s see what she brings to this match!
FIVE…!
FOUR…!
THREE…!
TWO…!
ONE!
Tripp Bennett: Thalia Marks wasting no time as she enters here tonight!
Alivia Takasoto: And why would she? This is the opportunity of a lifetime! And given the physicality in the match so far, she’s got two easy pickings in Mars and Dorsey!
Thalia Starks rushes down the entrance ramp and slides into the ring under the bottom rope, which prompts Mars to get up and take advantage! She goes for a Big Boot, but Starks ducks underneath, hitting the ropes and catching Mars with a Running DDT! Mars head thumps against the mat, but she’s not down yet, making it up to her hands and knees! Starks decides to cut this off quickly, hitting a Standing Moonsault across the back of Mars, sending her collapsing to the mat! Starks rolls her over and goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Mars! Starks wants to go for another move, but just then Dorsey comes up from behind! She grabs Starks and attempts to throw her out of the ring though the middle rope! But instead of falling all the way to the floor at ringside, Starks swoops her way back into the ring Tiger Feint style! She catches Dorsey, who’s now turned her back to her, with a Running Bulldog! Dorsey’s head thumps off the mat now, with the move bouncing her back up to a knee! She’s facing the corner perfectly, allowing Starks to run to it to gear up, before running to Dorsey and smashing her with a Dropkick that sends her into the opposite corner! She follows it up with Running Body Splash in the corner! Before Starks can capitalize though, Mars is back up, hitting a running Meteora into the corner that clips both Starks and Dorsey on the head! She takes advantage, pinning Starks in an O’Connor Roll!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Starks that sends Mars stumbling forward, right into a Knee from Dorsey! Mars flops to mat from the brutal shot to the head, before rolling out of the ring! Just then, Dorsey looks up from Mars to see Thalia Starks with her eyes fixed on her! The two can’t take their eyes off of one another as Dorsey draws herself out of the corner and towards her adversary! The “ooo’s” and “aaa’s” of the crowd start to escalate!
Tripp Bennett: These two former LFL players look as though they’re seeing each other for the first time here!
Alivia Takasoto: This right here is what the blue brand is all about, Tripp! This history, this is chemistry, this is raw energy coming out from these two! And it’s about to explode all over this ring now!
The two are done staring and quickly start throwing right hands to each other! The two are evenly matched at first, but Dorsey’s strikes become too much for Starks as she stumbles back! Taking advantage, Dorsey goes for a Thrust Kick to Starks! But Starks dodges it, attempting to capitalize with a Dropkick to Dorsey, but NO! Dorsey sidesteps the move, allowing Starks to fall to the mat! She gets to her hands and knees as she attempts to get up, but Dorsey once again gets the upper hand, catching her with a La Majistral pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Starks, who’s able to get up faster than Dorsey! Stark slips behind her as she reaches a seated position and puts her into a Crucifix pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Dorsey! The two now reach their feet at the same time at the opposite sides of the ring! They charge towards one another, neither one wanting to give the other the upper hand! They meet in the center of the ring, hitting each other with stiff Lariats and sending each other to the mat simultaneously as well! And then, just like clockwork, the countdown timer pops up on the titantron again!
Tripp Bennett: You talked about easy pickings earlier, Alivia! I don’t think the pickings get easier than this!
Alivia Takasoto: Tonya Marks is about to have a field day here! All three competitors currently in this match are down!
Crowd: FIVE…!
FOUR…!
THREE…!
TWO…!
ONE!
Tripp Bennett: Out comes “Totally” Tonya Marks, who has to be feeling confident in their chances here tonight!
Alivia Takasoto: Talk about easy pickings, Tripp, Tonya Marks has the chance to wipe three competitors out in one go here!
Tonya Marks struts out onto the stage, immediately seeing the pile of corpses occupying the ring! They rush down to the ring, immediately going for a pin on Thalia Starks!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Starks! Marks doesn’t waste any time, though, rushing over to a still prone Daria Dorsey to do the same!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Dorsey! Marks is now livid at the amount of effort they seemingly have to exert to put these two away! They get to their feet, ready to take the fight to Starks and Dorsey! But the moment they get to a vertical base, they’re immediately cut down by a Running Dropkick from a returning Razzles Mars! Marks falls back seated in the corner, leaving an opening for Mars to attack with a Cannonball! She rolls back to her feet before backing into the other corner of the ring and rushing to Marks to hit a Sliding D!
Tripp Bennett: These Brooklyn fans are going rabid for Razzles Mars here!
Alivia Takasoto: You can’t say she doesn’t make it easy for them! Look at that girl go!
Mars gets up and stands in the center of the ring, letting out a huge yell to hype up the crowd considerably! She starts to dance a little as the crowd breaks into their familiar chant!
“RAZZLES, RAZZLES MARS! RAZZLES MARS! RAZZLES, RAZZLES MARS!”
The sing-along is cut off however, as Mars is brought to the mat with a Chop Block by a recovered Dorsey! She keeps a hold on Mars’ leg, putting a foot on her thigh before flipping over with it in tow, tweaking the knee! Mars is in agony now as Dorsey gets up, only to be met with a Dropkick by a returning Thalia Starks that sends her to the mat! She takes advantage of the prone Dorsey, hitting her with a Standing Moonsault! She goes for a pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
T-
Kick out by Dorsey! Starks gets up to her knees from the pin, just in time to see Tonya Marks rushing straight towards her to hit a Hip Attack! They cover for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Starks! Marks isn’t done dealing out punishment, though, lifting their adversary up to her feet by her hair! Before Marks can make a move, though, Razzles Mars sails above a hunched over Starks to hit Tonya Marks with a Dropkick! She rolls off the bending back of Starks, before using the leverage to catch her into another O’Connor Roll!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Starks escapes, rolling Mars into a pin of her own!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Mars! Meanwhile, Dorsey and Marks trade blows on the other side of the ring! Marks goes for a Big Boot, but Dorsey ducks underneath before running towards the ropes! She bounces off the ropes, going for a Springboard Uppercut, but NO! Marks snatches her out of mid-air, getting her in a Ripcord position before pushing her out and pulling her back into Knee Strike! They pull Dorsey in again, this time going for a Headbutt! Dorsey is in real trouble now, as Marks gets her in position for Adjustments! Meanwhile, Starks has Mars in position for the Skeleton Key!
Tripp Bennett: These four competitors have been going wild since the opening bell!
Alivia Takasoto: Any one of these four could make a case for walking out of here the winner...and we don’t even have everyone out here yet!
Marks and Starks look as though they’re about to hit their respective Signatures, but just then, the countdown timer displays itself on the screen once more!
Crowd: TEN…!
NINE…!
Starks and Marks have their eyes fixed up the rampway now. They relieve their grips of Dorsey and Mars as the timer draws closer to zero.
EIGHT…!
SEVEN…!
SIX…!
Tripp Bennett: I think the competitors in this match just realized that too, Alivia!
FIVE…!
FOUR…!
Alivia Takasoto: I think they realized that they have a hell of a lot more to deal with than just another competitor!
Dorsey and Mars are up now as all four competitors have their eyes fixed up the rampway, ready for what’s coming next!
THREE…!
TWO…!
ONE…!
Tripp Bennett: Here comes Quinn Costa!!
Alivia Takasoto: Trust me, Tripp, everyone is well aware!
Quinn Costa rushes down to the ring with all four competitors ready for a fight from her! She slides in the ring under the bottom rope and the four immediately jump on top of her, raining on her with strikes in order to eliminate the dominant competitor! They seem to have her incapacitated, but she suddenly let’s out a huge burst of energy, pushing back all four of her adversaries with a giant shove! Costa makes it to her feet, just in time to see Thalia Starks charging at her! She catches Starks with a Running Lariat, before snatching Razzle Mars out of an attempted Running Crossbody! She turns around with Mars in hand, just in time to throw her into a charging Tonya Marks! Daria Dorsey takes advantage of Costa while her back is turned, clubbing her with a forearm to the back! Costa turns around, and before Dorsey can go for another strike, she grabs her and throws her with a Belly to Belly Suplex!
Tripp Bennett: Quinn Costa is cleaning house right now!
Alivia Takasoto: This is exactly what everyone else in this gauntlet was afraid of! Why do you think they jumped her from the word go?
With everyone down, Costa’s now the one pumping up the Brooklyn crowd! She turns around to see Dorsey recovering and getting to her feet, before picking her up and nailing her with a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!! She bridges for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
TH-
Kick out by Dorsey! But before Costa can get off of her back, Razzles Mars flies in from out of nowhere, hitting THE MARS ROVER on Costa! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
Kick out by Costa! Razzles kneels up before her opposition, leaving her open to be caught with a ROLLING WHEEL KICK by Thalia Starks! Before she can capitalize, though, Tonya Marks re-enters the fray, hitting Starks with a Knee! She goes backfirst to the mat, leaving her open for Marks to run the ropes and hit her with THIGH’S THE LIMIT!! Marks attempts to go for a pin, but is quickly stopped by something pulling them from behind! It’s Daria Dorsey, who pulls them into a Ripcord position before taking them down with the TRUCKSTOP! She goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THRE-
Kick out by Marks! Dorsey is in shock! She lifts Marks to their feet and tries getting them in position for the Phoenix Driver, but NO! Marks slips her grip, before pushing The Zenith of Zion out of the ring! As Marks follows her to the outside, we can also see Quinn Costa and Razzles Mars getting into it on the other side of the ring! The two trade blows, leveling each other with strikes back and forth!
Meanwhile, Marks catches up to Dorsey at ringside, grabbing her by the hair and ramming her head into the barricade! Dorsey staggers over to the other side of the ring, trying to gain some distance! But Marks still doesn’t let up, ramming her head into the ringpost now! Eventually the skirmish between the two catches up to Costa and Mars as the four continue to fight one another on the outside. Inside the ring and seeing her chance, however, Thalia Starks climbs to the top rope! The four competitors outside start to cluster more and more together, before Starks dives off, sending them all to the floor with a COFFIN DROP!!
Tripp Bennett: WHOA!
The crowd starts to break out into “HOLY SHIT!” chants!
Alivia Takasoto: Holy shit indeed! This match has been 100 miles an hour from the beginning, and we haven’t even gotten an elimination!
Tripp Bennett: I have a feeling that’s about to change!
Starks gets back up to her feet at ringside, before picking Tonya Marks out of the pile of corpses on the ground! She throws them back into the ring under the bottom rope, before following them in! Before she can do anything though, Marks is back up, going for one last swing at Starks, but NO! Starks gets them up before driving them into the mat with THE GAMBIT!! Starks goes for the pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!
Alex Lawson: Tonya Marks has been eliminated!
Marks rolls out of the ring as an out-of-breath Starks kneels on the mat! She slowly makes it back to her feet before attempting to return to the laid out bodies of her opponents at ringside. But as soon as she approaches the ropes, she gets caught out of nowhere with a Shoulder Block by Razzles Mars! Starks is hunched over now as Mars makes it to the apron! She hops over before driving Starks’ head to the mat with THE MARS-IPAN KABLAM!! She capitalizes, jumping onto the top rope and hitting Starks with the PEPPERMINT TWIST!! She stays on for the pin!!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!
Alex Lawson: Thalia Starks has been eliminated!
Tripp Bennett: And within a matter of minutes, we’re now down to three!
Alivia Takasoto: And what a three it is, Tripp! Any of these three women could easily walk out of here with the chance to become World Champion!
Mars sits up from the pin as Starks rolls out of the ring! A look of exasperation and exhaustion crosses her face as Dorsey and Costa rise from the ground at ringside! They both slide into the ring at the same time as Mars shuffles to her feet! The three start to circle around one another, each one waiting for the other to make a move! Eventually, Dorsey cuts through the tension, sending a stiff Right Hook across the jaw of Costa while she’s caught off guard! The fight is on as Dorsey and Mars start to trade strikes, they’re firing at will here!
The strikes continue to pick up steam, until Costa gets back into this, tackling both competitors! The impact sends Mars straight to the mat, but Dorsey instead falls out of the ring! Costa follows Dorsey out, being immediately met with a set of weaker strikes from The Zenith done in a bid to defend herself! None of them work, however, as Costa still gets her position before tossing her into the barricade with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Dorsey barely has a moment to register the pain to her back before Costa lifts her up again, this time getting her in position for a Vertical Suplex on the floor at ringside! She goes for the full lift, but Dorsey doesn’t budge, hooking a leg to keep herself vertical. Eventually, Dorsey summons the strength needed to get Costa off of her feet to hit a Suplex of her own!
Tripp Bennett: What a display of strength by Daria Dorsey!
Alivia Takasoto: Yeah, but was it the smartest move? Exerting all that strength and taking the concrete floor to the back can’t be great for endurance in a match like this!
Dorsey slowly starts to make it back to her feet, with Costa not far behind! She crawls up onto the apron, getting to a knee up there as she watches Costa slowly rise to a vertical base at ringside! Dorsey runs towards her, possibly looking for a Cannonball, but NO! Razzles Mars gets back in this now, driving Dorsey down to the apron with a Clothesline on the ropes! Dorsey slumps down to ringside with Costa, as Mars sees her chance! She runs the ropes to gain momentum, before diving out to hit both of her opponents with a Suicide Dive!! Dorsey and Costa are both out now! Mars takes advantage, rolling Costa back into the ring and going for a cover!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
Kick out by Costa! Mars isn’t giving up however! She scales the turnbuckles in the corner, making her way to the top rope! The crowd is in excitement now as Mars stands on the top turnbuckle! She dives off looking for The Peppermint Twist, but NO! Costa recovers and catches Mars out of mid-air with ease! She walks her around the ring for a bit, setting up for a possibly devastating move! But when she turns around once more, she’s met with a Thrust Kick by a returning Daria Dorsey! Costa drops Mars on the mat before staggering back! She tries to regain her wits about her, but she can’t do so in time to avoid a FIRESPIN DDT from Dorsey!
Tripp Bennett: Firespin by Dorsey! Costa’s out of this one!
Alivia Takasoto: Doesn’t look like Dorsey’s taking any chances though!
She’s not done yet however! She gets her up for the Phoenix Driver, but NO! Costa slips her grip! She gets behind Dorsey, pushing her into the corner, before rolling her up for the Quinn-Plex! She gets the first roll in, but as she pops up to hit the German, Razzles Mars catches her with a Double Foot Stomp to the head! The intervention causes Dorsey to break free as Costa hits the mat! She gets up, looking at Mars and Costa in a daze, before picking Costa up and nailing her with the PHOENIX DRIVER!! Dorsey goes for the pin, with Mars climbing on top!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE!
Alex Lawson: Quinn Costa has been eliminated!
Tripp Bennett: We’re now down to our final two here in this match! These two athletes have outlasted the entire field to get to this moment!
Alivia Takasoto: This right here is what it all comes down to! These are the types of moments that can make a star out of anyone! Moments of survival like these are what can immortalize you! So these two better take in all the fan admiration while they can, because right now, they’re about to fight for their place in history!
Dorsey and Mars are laid out besides each other as Costa rolls out of the ring! Both of them worn down, both of them out of breath, yet both of them are still in this match! They turn their heads on the canvas to face each other at the same time! Both start slowly getting to their feet before beginning to exchange blows! They fire shot after shot at one another, neither one of them willing to give the other the upper hand! Eventually, Mars pushes Dorsey away to get some room! But Dorsey isn’t done yet, though, going for a Lariat to Mars, but NO! Mars slips underneath, catching the swinging arm of Dorsey to trap her into a Backslide Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
Dorsey kicks out, swiftly getting up as Mars remains on her hands and knees! She takes advantage, trapping Mars into an Oklahoma Roll Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
Kick out by Mars! Both competitors are up now! They run towards each other, with Mars getting the jump on Dorsey by slipping behind her with a Schoolboy Pin!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THR-
Kickout by Dorsey, to which Mars uses to her immediate advantage, keeping Dorsey’s right leg in hand as she goes for the Stretch Muffler! She has the move locked in tight as Dorsey screams in agony! She struggles to get any movement towards an escape going as all of her blood rushes to her head! Mars keeps wrenching the move in tighter and tighter, causing Dorsey to start kicking with her free leg out of desperation! She throws a few wild swings towards Mars, before one finally catches her on the side of the head, causing her to release the hold! Dorsey flips to her feet as Mars recovers. But before Dorsey can regain momentum, Mars catches her with the EVERLASTING GOBBSTOPPER!! RAZZLES MARS WITH THE PIN!! SHE COULD WIN IT RIGHT HERE!!
ONE…!
TWO…!
THREE-
Shoulder up at the very last possible moment by Daria Dorsey! Mars is nearly in a panic now! She can’t believe this match is still going! She slowly crawls over to the corner of the ring, before slowly climbing up to her feet using the ropes! She starts to very slowly make her way up the turnbuckles, before positioning herself on the top rope! Mars is ready to cease her moment, soaking in all the admiration of the fans before going for one last Peppermint Twist…
BUT NO, DORSEY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!
Mars finds a way to land on her feet! She sees Dorsey starting to rise to hers as well and doesn’t hesitate, running the ropes and going for a Running Dropkick, but NO! Dorsey catches the legs, dropping Mars backfirst to the mat, before locking in DARIA’S INFERNO!!! Mars is in agony here, but still desperately trying to survive! She starts to scratch and claw her way towards the rope, each push forward giving her more and more hope! She makes it within inches of the bottom rope, she’s just fingertips away…
BUT NO!
Dorsey drags Mars back to the center of the ring, locking in the hold anew! The pain is further exacerbated now, and it becomes too much to ignore! Mars looks as though she’s thinking about how far she’s come in this match, that she can’t give up now! But the pain catches up to her...it’s too much...tears start to fill Mars’ eyes once more as she weakly taps out! This match is over!
Alex Lawson: The winner of this match...and the holder of the Chance Briefcase...Daria! Dorsey!
Tripp Bennett: Though career highs and lows! Through huge victories and crushing defeats, Daria Dorsey finally gets her day in the sun!
Alivia Takasoto: A hell of a victory by Daria Dorsey and a well-earned one at that!! Lasting from #1 all the way to the finish! The Zenith of Zion has every right to be full of herself after tonight!
Dorsey beside herself with excitement! She’s hardly able to believe that she’s won the match as the referee hands her the briefcase! She raises it up in the air, and the fans give a huge pop as we fade out!
WINNER: DARIA DORSEY
