Zion Wrestling Presents: Wednesday Night Fusion Episode 1!!

[Intern]

We fade in to see Kai Morgan in a suit backstage leaning on the Producer’s Desk. The room is empty and completely silent, with Kai wielding a microphone to break the silence.

Kai Morgan: When Bethany Grace came to me and said she wanted me to be the new General Manager of Zion, I thought she was insane. I mean, here I was. Inexperienced. Unproven. Yet, somehow she saw the ability in me to run this ship.

Kai starts to walk as he continues to speak.

Kai Morgan: Now, doors like these? They don’t open often. Furthermore, they don’t open for just anyone. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned during my time in this business is that doors like these don’t stay open for long. So as you can imagine, I didn’t hesitate to say yes and I got to work. Because I saw an opportunity to open doors for other people just the same.

Kai backs up into the gorilla position and stands, holding the curtain.

Kai Morgan: So I got to work, putting forth every tool at my disposal to make Zion Wrestling THE place. THE place to watch, THE place to entertain, and THE place to WRESTLE! Which leads us to this!

Kai pulls back the curtain to reveal a packed Joe Louis Arena. The cheers of the crowd can finally be heard, the camera follows Kai onto the stage, the entire Zion Wrestling roster standing behind him.

Kai Morgan: This right here is the dawning of a new age! This right here is where we’re gonna make stars! This right here is where we are going to show you the very BEST that the world of professional wrestling has to offer! This...is ZION...WRESTLING!!!

The crowd let out a huge as the intro music begins

Match #1: Sara Cross vs. Kass (w/Danae)

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

Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Danae! From Athenas, Greece, weighing in at 145 lbs....Kass!

And her opponent! From Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 113 lbs...Sara! Cross!

Sara and Kass start to circle each other in the ring, gauging one another. Just as it looks as though the two are going to lock up, Sara pops up and offers a handshake to Kass. Kass looks over to Danae at ringside, scoffing at the show of respect. She steps up and looks as though she’s gonna accept the handshake, but then face mushes the shorter Cross. Cross comes to stand still with her head still turned, her face showing visible frustration at Kass’ disrespect. She returns to meet Kass’ gaze, only to see her making a pouty face to mock Cross. Cross has seen enough, and unloads a stiff knife edge chop to the chest of Kass, sending her reeling and screaming around the ring. Kass falls to her knees and looks up to see a now smiling Sara Cross offering her another handshake.

Kass looks up at Cross with an angry sneer as she returns to her feet. She takes Sara’s seemingly accepting this token of respect, before yanking the hand down, hyperextending the arm. Cross is brought to a knee below Kass, before Kass hyperextends the arm again! With the arm trapped, Kass steps over Cross and pins her arm to her back, breaking her down to the mat. Kneeling on Cross’ face, Kass calls for the ref, commanding him to ask if Cross submits. Cross continuously says no, slowly raising her head from beneath Kass’ kneepad and rolling to her back to free her arm from the restraint. With Kass’ arm still in hand, Sara pops up and hits Kass with an Arm Drag.

Kass is right back up, but gets met with a dropkick. Kass is back up again, only to be met with a Spinning Heel Kick! Kass takes the move super hard, stumbling back and falling out of the ring! Cross hits the mat after that move landing the damaged arm and immediately feeling the soreness. Cross returns to feet, favoring her arm. Danae helps Kass to her feet at ringside. Seeing this, Cross runs the ropes and hits a Suicide Dive! Danae and Kass are both down! Sara returns to her feet and uses her good arm to throw Kass back into the ring! She covers.

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kass kicks out! Sara is in disbelief! She goes to pick up Kass with her good arm, but seeing an opening, Kass swats Sara’s hand away and hits a forearm smash to Cross. Before Cross can give answer to it, Kass grabs Cross’ injured arm and brings them down the double knees! Sara’s reeling on the ground, grabbing her arm! She lies face down on the mat, but doesn’t get to rest for long as Kass picks her by her hair from behind. Kass brings Sara to her feet and immediately hits her with a Headbutt right on the back of the dome! Before Sara can even react, Kass brings the knees up, hitting a backstabber! Kass immediately goes for the pin.

ONE…!

TWO…!

Sara kicks out! Angered, Kass kneels besides Sara, landing strike after strike to the side of her head! However, she doesn’t notice Sara slipping her legs up. She catches Kass’ head and locks in the Triangle Choke! Kass is screaming in pain, not sure how she’s gonna get out of this hold! She slips an arm around the back Cross and starts to lift, but can’t get her up! She tries reaching for the rope, but can’t get any room to move! She gives the lift one last try! She makes it to one foot, then the other! Kass is up and she hits Cross with a Sit-Out Powerbomb to escape the hold!

Cross is on the ground and Kass backs into the corner, gesturing for her to get up! Kass goes to the second rope, possibly going for the Wolf Spike. Sara is up, Kass drops from the ropes and goes for that Canadian Destroyer...but no! Cross throws Kass on her back and stumbles into the corner turnbuckle! Sara turns around and sees Kass is still down. Cross slowly climbs to the top rope and is now gesturing for Kass to return to her feet. Kass is on her feet! Cross takes flight! LUNAT--WAIT!!!

Danae is in the ring now and she catches Cross with a big boot out of midair in full view of the referee! The ref has no choice but to call for the bell. This match is over.

Alex Lawson: Your winner as a result of a disqualification….Sara! Cross!

Danae and Kass are stomping on Cross’ prone body! The bell continues to ring as The Wolves continue the two on one assault! Danae picks up Cross and throws her into the arms of a waiting Kass! Kass Smash! Cross is laid out in the middle of the ring, as Danae and Kass leave under the bottom rope and walk up the ramp smuggly, taking in the crowd's boos as they make their exit.

We open inside of a bar with a gentleman who is wearing a beautiful black suit. This man is of the heftier sort and is wearing a pair of shades. He wears a conniving smile on his face.

“Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Owie Sharp. And I am the King Of Sportopia! This man, over here…”

He gestures to someone who is off screen. He walks into the shot and we see that it is none other than “Flawless” Eddie Williams. Eddie sports a sneer on his face, sweat on his brow and he is wearing a t-shirt with his name and image printed onto it, and a towel around his neck. It seems he’s just been for a work out session.

::OWIE SHARP::
...is the chosen hero of Sportopia! The one, the only… “FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS!!!! But… he doesn’t need me to tell you that. Right, Eddie?

:::”FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
That’s damn right, Owie! In case none of you fans watching at home, or in the audience have noticed, I am completely… Flawless. I am a Jack of all trades, and a natural master of them all! Just watch… I’m going to play a game of darts with this gentleman, right here!

He walks towards the dart board and puts his arm around a patron of the bar, who looks very uncomfortable with this situation. Eddie smiles.

:::”FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
My good friend, uhhhh… what’s your name, there, chief?

“Get away from me!”

:::”FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
Why? Can’t a guy play darts with his buddy?

“I DON’T KNOW YOU!!!”

:::”FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
Oh… well, in that case, sir, lemme pull you out from under that rock. My name is Eddie. “Flawless” Eddie. I’m a wrestler. And I wanna play a game of darts with you, to show these people…

He points to the camera as he says that.

:::”FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
Just how Flawless I really am!

“And why do you have to play with me?! Don’t you have friends of your own to play with, Mr. Flawless?!”

Eddie’s growing increasingly irritated with this guy.

:::”FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
No… that’s not the issue. I’ve… gathered… that you’re the best darts player this bar has to offer, and I wanna prove that I’m better!

“I don’t even play darts---”

:::”FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
Look! If you don’t play darts with me, you’re in for a world of hurt!! Alright?!

“OKAY, OKAY!!! I’ll play...”

Eddie smiles.

:::”FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
Excellent! Let’s play…

Eddie takes a dart and throws it at the board… and he gets it within the middle circle, but not quite a bullseye.

:::”FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
Ha! Beat that, chump!

The other guy then takes a dart. The sweat nervously drips from his brow as he lines up his shot. He then throws the dart… and it’s A PERFECT BULLSEYE!!!! Eddie can’t believe it, and neither can Owie! The guy celebrates like he’s just won the lottery, yelling out for the bar to hear…

“HEY!!! I JUST BEAT SOMEONE WHO’S COMPLETELY PERFECT!!!!”

Eddie gets an angered look on his face as he looks at the guy. The guy looks at Eddie.

“Hey, good game, guy. You win some, you lose some.”

Eddie’s angered look slowly starts to fade away… and soon it’s replaced with a smile. The smile looks genuine… almost too genuine. He reaches his hand out and shakes the guy’s hand, before raising it before the entire bar. Then, upon letting his hand go, he claps for the guy a little bit… before STRIKING him outta nowhere!!!

::OWIE SHARP::
YES!!!!! YES!!!!!

Eddie surveys the downed patron, slowly circling him while the entire bar is in shock and confusion. Eddie leans down.

:::”FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
You have some nerve, you stupid son of a bitch!!! How DARE you, embarrass me before MILLIONS!!!!

He once again points to the camera.

:::”FLAWLESS” EDDIE WILLIAMS:::
But since you wanted to cross us… I’m gonna use you, to show the entire Zion Wrestling Locker Room what they’re in for when they face me!!

::OWIE SHARP::
That’s right, Eddie!! TEACH ‘EM!!!

At that point, Eddie locks this poor patron in the Flawless Lock (Texas Cloverleaf), and upon applying it, the guy passes out within a matter of at most 20 seconds, due to the sheer amount of pain that Eddie’s put him in. All the while, Owie is berating the poor patron over what’s happened. After about 30 more seconds in the hold, Eddie lets him go, and Owie gives him a pat on the back.

::OWIE SHARP::
That’s right!! This is what happens when you cross the Sportopians! Let that sink in before you decide it’s a good idea to provoke the King Of Sportopia, and his chosen hero… but now, we gotta get outta here!

And at that point, Owie yanks Eddie by the collar of his shirt and the two of them run right outta the bar! From there, we go to the next segment.

After the previous segment…

The camera begins to go fuzzy, as if to be moving to a different place, a different time. The camera then refocuses on an area that does not seem to be part of the arena. There are three wolf howls in the distance, as the cameraman makes his way through the area. A lone shadow sits in the distance, as the moonlight shines on different points of the area, seeing hands and such popping up from the ground. The shadowy figure laughs to herself as the cameraman seemed disgusted with the area. The cameraman is then approached by the woman, who offers him a black rose, as he takes it then the woman turns away.

“the Queenslayer” Legion: You know when you don’t belong somewhere… then you find yourself with the groundskeeper of the area, well Mr. Cameraman you have stepped into the Black Garden once more. Don’t mind the decorum, those are the souls who thought they could defeat us too. People tend to learn the game with us, and trust us, it's fun to watch them try.

Legion then flips her hood down, motioning for him to follow her and to stay close, as the wolves with blue and Silver eyes appear through the bushes. She waves them away as they back off for now, but remain close as she leads the cameraman through the black gardens pathways.

“the Queenslayer” Legion: You have come from Zion yes?

He nodded as she watched the camera. She laughed a bit as she knew the things would come on her own time. She then picked up one of the roses she had collected, letting it sit in her hand she watched it bloom as the moon went from its pure white to its deep shade of red that it usually was in the garden.

“the Queenslayer” Legion: Then those that see this, this is your warning sign. We are coming, we stand for no one and nobody. The hive is a new animal, the Hive is your reckoning Zion. Robert William Kendricks, you think you are some demigod that needs to be worshipped because you have been everywhere. We are coming, let us in your minds, and your hearts will follow. Robert tonight, you experience the beast without her own equal, and soon enough you will face…

Mister J steps out of the shadows, then smirks. Legion puts her hand up standing beside him, looking into the camera as her eyes glow bright red. She snaps her fingers and her two wolves appear next to her sitting beside Legion, as she scratches the back of their necks. Then she looks into the camera.

“the Queenslayer” Legion: Run…

She snaps her fingers and the two wolves go for the cameraman, as the scene returns the cameraman back into the arena. A sinister cackle is heard throughout the back as the next match is about to begin

Match #2: Sermon Bundy vs. Skeleskreem

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

Introducing first, from Atlanta, Georgia...weighing in at 267 lbs...Sermon! Bundy!
And his opponent! From Morning Woodsboro...weighing in at 223 lbs...Skeleskreem!!

Bundy and Skeleskreem lock up in the center of the ring! It looks like it may be a competitive grapple, but the stronger Bundy immediately shoves Skeleskreem to the ground. Skeleskreem looks up at his opponent, who’s soaking in the “admiration” of the fans. Skeleskreem gets back up and takes the fight straight to Bundy, landing a forearm against his wide chest. Bundy turns around, looking angrily at Skeleskreem before landing a huge right across his jaw. Skeleskreem falls to the mat, followed by Bundy who mounts him with a series of stiff elbows. Skeleskreem looks to be in trouble. Bundy goes for the pin, a huge smile crossing his face.

ONE…!

T--

Skeleskreem kicks out! A look of anger in Bundy’s face transitions into a reserved smile. He picks Skeleskreem up and throws him to the ropes for an Irish Whip. It’s hard to tell what Sermon is going for here, but it doesn’t matter now! Skeleskreem gets back into it, returning to Bundy with a knee strike right between the eyes! Bundy goes to the mat and immediately returns to his feet. Seeing this, Skeleskreem stops in his tracks and sends a stiff slap across the face of Bundy in defiance. This sends Bundy over the edge. Before Skeleskreem can do anything to capitalize, Bundy grabs Skelskreem by the head and attempts to Biel him across the ring. Skeleskreem goes flying through the air, but miraculously manages to rotate a full 360 and just narrowly lands on his feet! Bundy, thinking he was successful in the throw, turns to see the still standing Skeleskreem. Bundy approaches his opponent who still has his back to him, only to be met with a stiff back fist by Skeleskreem! Bundy falls to one knee on the mat!

Skeleskreem capitalizes, trapping Bundy by the arms and hitting him with a knee strike to the head! Bundy leans back, feeling the effects of the attack! Skeleskreem hits another knee, and another! With each one, it’s easy to see that Bundy is getting more and more infuriated. Eventually, Bundy fights back, yanking Skeleskreem to him and smacking him with a huge headbutt to the temple. Skelskreem relieves Bundy from his grasp and falls back, sitting on the mat and favoring his head.

Bundy returns to his feet, his demeanor a complete 180 from the beginning of this match. He grabs Skeleskreem by the head again, hitting a second headbutt to the top of his head! Bundy lifts Skeleskreem to his feet by the head and immediately hits a belly to belly suplex, sending him flying across the ring. Bundy lets out a powerful scream as the crowd boos him more and more. Skeleskreem rolls to the ring apron, followed by Bundy on a hot pursuit. He lifts Skeleskreem to his feet on the apron with him facing the outside. Bundy rips open Skeleskreem’s bodysuit, exposing the chest, and lands a powerful chop across the now red chest of Skeleskreem! Bundy lifts his hand for another, but Skeleskreem is right back to action, dropping down on the apron with Bundy in tow, dropping his head against the ropes!

Bundy staggers back, but returns to Skeleskreem only to be caught in a Guillotine Choke over the ropes! The ref takes exception to this, starting the five count!

ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! F-

The lock is broken up, but not by Skeleskreem. Bundy finds the strength to escape the hold by throwing Skeleskreem over his shoulder and into the ring! Skeleskreem is right back up, through, running off the ropes on the opposite side to catch a turning Bundy with a Lariat! Bundy staggers, but doesn’t go down! Skeleskreem runs the ropes again and hits another Lariat, but it still fails to put Bundy down! Skeleskreem runs the ropes again, but this time he pops up on the second rope and attempts the Disaster Kick, but NO!

Bundy catches the right leg of Skeleskreem, with the left one just sailing over him! He grabs the left leg and gets Skeleskreem in a wheelbarrow position, then hits him with a Wheelbarrow German Suplex! Skeleskreem’s head smacks against the canvas! Bundy pops up, taunting Skeleskreem and telling him to get up! Skeleskreem returns to his feet, back facing Bundy. Skeleskreem turns around, into a One-Armed Spinebuster by Bundy! Skeelskreem’s head meeting that mat yet again. Bundy goes to the corner and assumes a quarterback’s stance! Skeleskreem’s up again, turning to face Bundy just in time to be hit by THE ALL AMERICAN TACKLE!!! SPEAR BY SERMON BUNDY!! The move turns Skeleskreem inside out, causing him to do a complete backflip! Sermon Bundy goes for the pin, his demeanor changing to one that’s a lot sunnier!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!

Alex Lawson: The winner of this match...SERMON! BUNDY!

Bundy returns to his feet, smiling and waving as he runs a victory lap! The crowd is raining boos on him as he takes his American flag from a producer at ringside and waves it around the ring for all to see!

Skeleskreem rolls out of the ring and walks up the rampway. He’s stumbling and still holding his head as we cut to the commercial break.

[Intern]

The scene opens up to what appears to be an ordinary arena locker room at first. However, after a moment of the camera panning around the room, it lands on something that isn’t quite so ordinary. Hanging from the ceiling is a swing. Seated on the swing is none other than Miss Sunshine herself, Addison Rayne! She has one of her bright, cheerful smiles firmly in place on her face. Even her eyes are bright and smiling. She is dressed in her ring gear and swinging back and forth at a slow but steady pace, just smiling at the camera.

“Well hello there! I’m sure you all have some questions for me and I promise I have some answers. First, I want to say happy pride month to all of you beautiful people who are brave enough to be you no matter what! I’m proud of you all! If your family isn’t accepting of you for who you are, I’m your sister now! Welcome to the family!”

Addison giggles sweetly before she continues to speak, still swinging at that same slow but consistent pace, seemingly unbothered by anything.

“So…recently, after my debut match here at Zion, I was attacked. Some of you are probably wondering what I am thinking about that. Honestly, I don’t understand why anyone would feel the need to attack me. If they wanted a bit of the spotlight, I would have gladly shared with them. If they wanted my attention, there were plenty of nicer ways to get it. However, I don’t dislike them or hate them for attacking me. I’m sure they have their reasons and maybe they were just having a bad day and need a good friend. Whoever you are, I’d love to be your friend. I know it sounds silly and childish but the My Little Ponies are right. Friendship is magic!”

She stops swinging for a moment and grabs a nearby purple cup and takes a drink. After setting it down, she begins her previous swinging pace while smiling once again at the camera.

“Sorry about that. Hydration is very important for a champion or one who wishes to become one. Which brings me to the next thing I need to speak about. Next week, I have a huge opportunity! I am in a match to qualify for a spot in a championship match. This opportunity means the world to me. I was born to be a champion. I’ve missed being a champion. A champion is so much more than just the person that holds the gold. A champion is a role model, an example to other people. Champions pave the way for other people to realize that their goals can be attainable as well. I’m ready to rise once again and prove that I’ve always been and always will be a champion at heart. But the most important thing is that I am ready to show everyone out there that dreams do come true and can keep coming true! See you all out there in that ring! Remember to keep smiling! If you shoot for the moon, you will always land among the stars! Never stop being your beautiful selves! Only you can be good at being you!”

Addison stops swinging and blows a kiss at the camera before hopping off the swing and skipping out of the locker room happily.

We fade in to see Kai Morgan shuffling through the backstage area, looking through locker rooms frantically. He goes up to the production staff.

Kai Morgan: Guys, have you seen Solomon Graham anywhere?

The production crew shake their hands, and Kai scurries off with an eye roll. He goes up to the enhancement roster in catering.

Kai Morgan: Have any of you guys seen Solomon Graham back here?

The enhancement talent also shakes their heads, and Kai is getting visibly frustrated. He goes to the production area by Gorilla and addresses everyone.

Kai Morgan: Guys, Solomon Graham’s match is right now and he’s nowhere to be found. I need as many people on the search as possible! Go! Go!

A few production assistants run off to find Graham. Meanwhile, Kai directs his attention elsewhere.

Kai Morgan: Sam! Anthony!

Samantha Tolson and Anthony Cross approach Kai, who huddles with them.

Kai Morgan: All right, we’re still in the process of finding Sol, but we still need to give these people a show! Go out there and do what you do best, while I try to get this show back on track! Got it?

Sam and Anthony nod their heads in agreement and start making their way to the curtain.

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

Introducing first...from Jefferson City, Missouri...weighing in at 158 lbs...Samantha! Tolson!

And her opponent...from Brooklyn, New York...weighing in at 275 lbs...Anthony! Cross!



Tolson and Cross square off in the ring, before getting into a collar and elbow tie up! The two are pretty evenly matched here. But Cross gets a bit more of an edge, slowly pushing Tolson into the corner turnbuckles. The struggle continues in the corner as the ref makes his five count.

ONE! TWO! THREE! F--

Tolson starts to give a bit of a fight back though, and she slowly starts to push Cross into the opposite corner in response. The struggle again continues in the other corner, with Cross now in trouble. The ref counts again.

ONE! TWO! THREE! F-

Cross slips a leg behind Tolson and drops her to the mat. Tolson immediately bounces back up and hits a lariat to a still recovering Cross in the corner! Cross stumbles out of the corner as Tolson runs the ropes. She returns to Cross, but he’s already recovered, hitting a shoulder tackle to Tolson! Cross goes for the pin!

ONE…!

T-

Tolson kicks out! Cross is back up, with Tolson shortly following. Cross goes for a clothesline, but Tolson ducks it! She runs the ropes and bounces off the second rope with a moonsault, but NO! Cross catches Tolson! She has her on this shoulder and attempts a Powerslam, but NO! Tolson manages to grapple the head of Anthony Cross, hitting him with the Facebuster! Cross bounces off the mat and lands on his back. Tolson sees this and runs the ropes once again, bouncing from the second rope and hitting a moonsault. She covers.

ONE…!

T-

Kickout from Cross! We can see a bit of disappointment on the face of Tolson, as Cross begins to crawl towards the corner. Tolson returns to her feet as Cross sits in the corner, trying to gain his breath. Tolson lifts him to a standing position and goes for a corner Knife Edge Chop! Cross tries to put his hands up in defense, but the impact on the arms is too much to bear! The chop lights up both his arms, causing him to let out an agonizing groan while checking the damages to the limbs. However, before he can do that, Tolson goes for another chop, this one catching him full on the chest. She goes for another, and another, and another! The crowd chants along

5!

6!

7!

8!

9!

10!

She releases Cross from the corner and runs the ropes again. Dropkick from Tolson to Cross! It sends him out a ring! Tolson calls her shot and goes for the ropes! She dives over the ropes to the outside with a Tope Con Hilo, but WAIT! Cross catches her in midair! Her legs are wrapped around his head! He lifts her into a powerbomb position and rams her into the ring post at ringside! Tolson is laid out on the concrete! The ref is now at a count of 4, as Cross rolls under the ropes and rolls right back out, restarting the ref’s ten count.

Cross lifts Tolson to her feet and Irish Whips her towards the corner of the barricade! She crashes over the barricade spilling into the crowd. The ref reprimands this, calling for Cross to get Tolson back to the ring. Cross turns to shout down the ref, then rolls back into the ring and right back out to restart the count again. He reorients his focus on the fallen Tolson, going to the barricade and lifting her from the other side. However, she was playing possum! She hits Cross with a sidekick to head, showing off her flexibility. Cross is sent staggering back as Tolson gets an idea. She gets as far back as possible in the empty pit behind the barricade and waits for Cross to get up.She runs for it and hits a diving spear from over the barricade! Both competitors are down, and ref is now at a count of 5 again!

SIX…!

Both competitors start to stir

SEVEN…!

They crawl towards the ring apron

EIGHT…!

Tolson gets a hand on the apron, Cross is still trying to gain his bearings

NINE…!

Tolson just barely rolls into the ring and Cross uses seemingly the last of his energy to pounce under the bottom rope. The two are safe from the countout. Tolson’s the first to get back to her feet, picking up Cross from behind and hitting him NIGHTFALL!! SUPLEX TO CROSS! She goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THR--

Cross kicks out! Tolson is in shock! She lifts Anthony from behind again, positioning him for the Beautiful Rendezvous Oblivion, but Cross has it scouted. He drops to his knees, taking the leverage from Tolson, before using his strength to lift Tolson and throw her forward of his shoulders while still kneeling. Tolson lands on her feet, though, and runs the ropes to go for a move, but Cross lifts her up. He spins a full 360 degrees with her in his arms before landing a Spinning Spinebuster! He’s not done though! He lifts Tolson up and before she can find any way to retort, he drops her with the Death Penalty DDT! Cross goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE…!



Alex Lawson: The winner of this match...Anthony! Cross!

The referee lifts Cross’ hand, as he stares down at Tolson. He starts to make his exit from the ring, but stops in tracks and looks down at the still fallen Tolson. With an eye roll he returns to her and helps her to her feet, coming face to face with her. The two stare each other down, before Cross gives her a nod and rolls under the bottom rope to make his exit, leaving Tolson alone in the ring.

Cross’ music fades out as Samantha Tolson is the only visual we see. Still hurt, yet still standing, the crowd are frenzied with cheers for her, chanting her praises from this show of tenacity!

We cut backstage to Kai Morgan pacing nervously around the production area! Suddenly, a PA comes up to him with Solomon Graham in tow!

Kai Morgan: Oh thank fuck! Sol where the hell were you? You know you have a match tonight, right? Like, as in TONIGHT? As in, the World Premiere of the show I'm running? You can't just no-show matches and---

Kai stops laying into Graham as he starts to notice a bit of a glazed over look in his eyes. His expression starts to become that of worry.

Kai Morgan: Dude...are you okay? You don't look you're at 100%...

Solomon Graham: I'm fine...

Kai Morgan: Are you sure, man? I can call this match off. Or I can find another opponent for Angel. It's seriously no pro--

Solomon Graham: I said I'm FINE!

Graham shoves his way past Morgan and limps over to the Gorilla Position. He goes through to the curtain to start our next match.

Match #4: Solomon Graham vs. Angel Kash w/ Steele Matthews

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

Introducing first...from Scarborough, Ontario, Canada...weighing in at 223 lbs.... The Paragon of Professional Wrestling….Solomon! Graham!!

Graham makes it to the ring, not doing his usual grandstanding, or much of anything. Something’s...off about Graham. Almost as though he isn’t shuffling a full deck…

Alex Lawson: And his opponent...being accompanied to the ring by Steele Matthews...from Hamptons, New York...weighing in at 128 lbs...Angel! Kash!

Kash and Graham stand face to face and talk trash to one another. The conversation looks to be getting heated as Graham starts gesturing and taunting Matthews as well. Kash has had enough, and she cocks back her hand and sends a heavy-handed slap across the head of Graham! Graham stumbles back, the slap clearly ringing his bell. Now in fight or flight mode, Graham frantically locks up with Kash, immediately getting her into a headlock. Kash tries fighting out of it, but Graham flips her over for a takedown! Kash is down, and Graham has the head squeezed tight! She tries to stop struggling to relieve the pressure, but in doing so, her shoulders touch the mat. The referee counts the unintentional pin!

ONE…!

Kash gets the shoulder up! She struggles again to get out of the hold, this time being able to get to her knees. She throws a few wild elbows towards Graham’s head until one catches him right between the eyes. Graham is sent reeling back again, releasing Kash. Graham retreats to ropes, leaning over them to catch his breath. But Kash is right back on him, dragging his head against the ropes until they hit the corner. Kash then slams Graham’s head into the top turnbuckle. She pulls his head back to talk trash to him some more, but notices a glassy expression on Graham’s face. Seeing her new strategy, Kash pushes Graham’s face. Graham responds with a stiff elbow right to Angel’s face. She stumbles away, turning her back on Graham. Graham seizes the opportunity and hits a Running Bulldog! Graham goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

Kash kicks out, and Graham is right back on the offensive! He runs the ropes and hits a knee drop right between the eyes of Angel Kash! He runs the ropes again, but Kash gets up in avoidance, still reeling from the knee to the head. Kash leans over the ropes, and seeing an opportunity for revenge, Graham drags her head across the top rope. They reach the corner of the ring and Graham cocks Kash’s head back as if he’s about to bash it against the turnbuckle, the crowd prepares for the smack, but no! Graham plays with the crowd instead, switching hands and dragging Kash across the ropes in the other direction. The reaches the corner again, but this time Steele Matthews hops on the apron in front of him. Graham gets distracted and drops Kash, prompting the official to check for any injuries. With the ref distracted, Matthews pulls out a perfume spray bottle. The front it reads “Benevolence” and it has a handle in the shape of a pair of brass knuckles. He sprays it into the face of Graham! He’s sent staggering back, and looking to take advantage, Angel rolls up for the pin!

ONE...!

TWO…!

Graham kicks out! He gets to his knees, but Angel’s back on him! She hits a knee straight to the face of Graham! He falls face first to the mat! Angel covers!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THR---

No! Graham kicks out! Kash screams in annoyance at Graham’s perseverance in this match! She goes to her corner and asks Steele Matthews to hand her the “Benevolence” Spray, to which Matthews acquiesces. She turns, ready to spray Graham, but Graham’s back up! He gets a grasp of the spray bottle and the tug-of-war is one. The two are white knuckling the bottle, trying to wrestle it from each other’s grasp! All the while the ref is fuming behind Kash, reprimanding both competitors for the attempted weapons usage! Graham pulls the bottle back with all his might! It looks as though he may just get it, but no! His grip slips and the bottle slingshots in Kash’s hand, striking the referee. The bottle shatters on the mat, leaving the steel handle in its wake. The official is down!

Graham and Kash look down at the fallen official in awkward shock! They transition their look to one another. Then back at the ref. Then back at each other. Graham looks back at the referee, but Angel calls her shot, landing a closed right hook across the jaw of Graham! Graham stumbles, once again favoring the head! Kash picks up the spray bottle handle and strikes Graham’s head again! He’s still not down though, so in a last ditch effort, Kash hits THE KASH FLOW!! Graham goes down as another official hits the ring! Angel goes for the pin!

ONE…!

TWO…!

THREE!

Alex Lawson: The winner of this match...Angel! Kash!

Kash gets up and celebrates! Steele Matthews enters the ring and the couple hug in the ring!

Graham rolls out of the ring, still favoring the head! He slowly walks up the ramp as we fade out for a commercial break.

We come back as Kai Morgan's music hits! He comes down to ring, microphone in hand, and with the Zion Roster returning to stand in the ring with him. The the center of the ring stands a podium, with a tarp covering it! Kai enters the ring and claps for everyone in the ring!

Kai Morgan: Well, what that show awesome or what?!

The crowd cheer in approval, and Kai nods!

Kai Morgan: One day ago, I took to social media to tell you all that we were gonna show you something amazing! And well..I don't wanna get overconfident, but I'd like say we overdelivered! 
And if you're looking for some people to thank, then look no further than the people standing around me right now! They, as well as you, are gonna make Zion Wrestling THE place to be!

The crowd continue to cheer as Kai advances to the podium standing in front of him.

Kai: So how do you reward these fine men and women for their hard work, other than of course, the appreciation of the crowd, and they're extra large paychecks...lucky bastards...well we give em something to fight for of course!
That is why it is my honor to introduce to you all...The Zion Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship!!!

Kai rips the tarp from the podium, unveiling the new Championship Belt



The crowd cheers upon looking at the new creation! Everyone in the ring is eyeing the new title! Most notable of them all being Solomon Graham, who breaks his punch-drunkenness from the night to lock his gaze on the title!

Kai Morgan: Now, with such a special title, we're gonna need a hell of a way to ring in an inaugural champion! Which is why I have been contructing an 8-person tournament to crown that very person! I won't reveal much as of yet, but let's just say decisions for the brackets have been heavily influenced by tonight's show! And I'm sure it'll shift even more upon seeing our main event, so let's get down to it! Goodnight, everyone! And enjoy the last of the show!

Kai exits the ring with the title and the entire roster in tow. Eddie Williams walks to right, trying to talk him into giving him a tournament slot. Angel Kash follows on his left and proceeds to open her checkbook and write zero after zero on check in order to bribe Kai. Soon the ring is empty, all except for RWK and Legion, as we go to our main event!

Alex Lawson: The following match is your MAIN EVENT! And it is scheduled for one fall!

And introducing her opponent...from Los Angeles, California....weighing in at 237 lbs...Robert William Kendricks...R! W! K!!!

The two competitors stare each other down from opposite sides of the ring. Legion gives a cocky look to RWK, who gives a serious stare that cuts straight into her. The two start to slowly make their way to one another, before rushing towards each other! The two start trading strikes in unison! Eventually, RWK gets the upper hand, leveling Legion with quicker strikes than she’s able to keep up with! Legion’s down on one knee and RWK sees his shot! He runs the ropes and attempts to hit a sliding Lariat to Legion, but she was playing possum! Legion uses the extended arm of RWK to lug him over his shoulder for an Arm Drag! RWK is right back up, though, and tries running back after Legion! She has it well scouted, sailing over RWK’s head and trapping the arms for an impressive sunset flip powerbomb! She holds him for the pin!

Legion goes for a Clothesline attempt, but RWK catches it and reverses with a Swinging Neckbreaker to Legion! Legion uses the momentum to flip back to her feet, though, and goes for a dropkick on RWK as he returns to his feet! RWK doesn’t go all the way down, though, hitting a kip up! The two competitors return to their feet at the same time, and raise their arms at each other in defense simultaneously!

The crowd goes crazy for this outstanding show of athleticism! The two competitors concede to their battle and begin to circle each other again. This time they go for grapples in unison, with Legion going low and getting a waist lock takedown on RWK! She transitions him to a seated position, and RWK’s able to capitalize!

Wait! Legion rolls over and traps RWK’s arm! She has him in an Armbar! It’s cinched in! RWK is screaming in agony! He tries touching his foot to the ropes, but he’s just inches shy of it! He starts gaining a bit more energy now, making it onto his knees. He makes it to his feet now, managing to lift Legion up into the air, and sending her back down with a Sit-Out Powerbomb! RWK rolls out of it and leans into a corner of the ring. He starts to lower his knee pad and gesture for Legion, possibly going for The King’s Testament. But just as Legion starts to return to her feet, Mister J hops on the apron, catching RWK’s eye. The two get nose to nose, staring each other down and Legion pops back up to capitalize! She gets a rear naked choke on RWK! but before she can use her legs to trap him, RWK lifts himself up and kicks Mister J off the apron, using the momentum to fold Legion up for a pin!
