Then Let's go by Trick Daddy, Lil Jon & Twista plays over the speakers and then a dozen Las Vegas showgirls come out on stage and then six line up on each side and then hype the crowd up as the lights in the arena start to flicker and then goes dark a spotlight falls down on stage and then Denzel Porter appears on stage wearing a stylish all-black blazer with a cigar in his mouth.
Announcer: PLEASE GIVE A WARM WELCOME TO YOUR HOST DENZEL PORTER!!!!!!!
As he starts heading down the ramp the crowd goes nuts chanting DPI loudly throughout the arena. Denzel can't do anything but smile and take a bow in front of the fans as he continues down the ramp and even shakes some hands and give fans a high five before making his way up the steel steps and gets a microphone from a staff member nearby.
As he entered the ring he takes a moment to admire the people in the arena before lifting the microphone up towards his lips.

Match one
Interstellar Gemini Tag Title
Tag Team Match
Jonna Austin and Lluvia Cane vs The Fenix Sisters
"In God We Trust" hits and Lluvia comes out to the stage in her gear. She does a little shimmy then seductively sways her hips as she does a slow 360, showing off her body as she does so. Lluvia then heads down to the ring and slides in under the 3rd rope, doing another little sashay once she stands up. She holds a smirk on her face as she waits for things to get going.
Skylar Rayner: Lluvia Salvatore is the first one to enter the ring, waiting now for her partner, Jonna Austin, to come down as they are going to challenge The Fenix Sisters for the Interstellar Gemini titles!
Jazmin Davis: This is going to be a tough match, a tough defense for The Fenix Sisters. These two look ready to go, and are determined to make the run of The Fenix Sisters a short one.
"Your Sweet Six Six Six" begins to play as dark pink, purple, and silver lights wave all around the arena and audience as Jonna makes her way from backstage with Harper by her side, a slight smirk on their faces as Jonna bounces around along with the guitar riff. She stretches a little then the pair begin jogging down the ramp, high fiving the fans as she does. Jonna slides in under the bottom rope then pops up quickly, a smirk still on her face as Harper claps for her from the middle of the ring. She jumps onto the bottom rope, grabbing the top rope as she leans over it, the smirk never leaving her face while she blows a few kisses to the fans before hugging her friend who then exits the ring.
Jazmin Davis: And now here’s Jonna Austin. These two look like they’re going to be on the same page.
Skylar Rayner: You have to wonder who the crowd is going to back in this one. I think the crowd is just the overall winner here tonight.
Hail, hail the black sheep
We are blood, we are family
The introduction of “Black Sheep” by Dorothy hits the sound waves, and the crowd is going wild before The Fenix Sisters emerge from behind the curtains. The camera surveys the crowd where a number of signs are held up in support of the sisters. Two spotlights encircle the arena before finally landing on the curtains; Jennie is the first to burst out from behind the curtains, with Tara just a step behind her. Jennie rallies the crowd up and calls for them to get louder. Meanwhile, Tara just stands atop center stage and does her own survey of the crowd. Jennie hops off the stage and mingles with the crowd in the front row for several seconds, and Tara starts making her way down the ramp; she raises the “devil horns” up for the fans, and about halfway down, Jennie joins her back on the ramp and puts an arm around her shoulder while the two sisters now walk side by side down to the end of the ramp. Tara walks straight for the steel steps, while Jennie circles the other side of the ring and slides under the bottom rope; she gets up to her knees and points out to the crowd. Tara remains on the ring apron for several seconds, and hooks both of her arms over the top rope while looking out at the crowd.
Jennie springs to her feet, and rushes to the nearest turnbuckle; she climbs to the second rope, and blows several kisses out to the audience. Tara walks to the far side, and blows a single kiss for the audience until she gets to their ring corner, where Jennie finally joins her. The two talk strategy with one another while waiting for the match to start.
Skylar Rayner: And the champions are here, this crowd went crazy at their appearance!
Jazmin Davis: You got that right! You can see the determination from both teams, though, both of them want to kick off the Denzel Porter Invitational with a victory and to walk out with the titles!
Skylar Rayner: They both have their work cut out for each other here!
DING!
Jennie and Jonna are the first ones to start the match; Salvatore goes to her respective corner, however, Tara drops down to the outside of the ring and is circling around the ring to the confusion of the audience and her opponents… The referee is pointing Tara toward the corner, and Tara waves him off.
Skylar Rayner: What’s going on? Wait… is she coming here?
Jennie and Jonna circle the center of the ring for a couple of seconds… Jonna looks over her own shoulder to ensure that Tara is not going to try to blindside her before ultimately trusting her partner to have her back. Tara sits with the commentators at the table, and puts a headset on.
Jazmin Davis: Umm! Well, hello!
Tara Fenix: Hi!
Jazmin Davis: I’ll be honest, I really don’t know HOW you’re here! We saw you put Stephen Terrella through an electrical box last night at IWF, and you were caught in it!
Tara Fenix: I’ve been through a lot in my career, so that’s not even the roughest thing I’ve walked out of.
Skylar Rayner: Surely you're still feeling some of those effects?
Tara Fenix: Absolutely. Absolutely! That’s why I decided to let Jennie start this one off, and honestly, I don’t think she’ll need me.
Skylar Rayner: That’s some confidence you have in your sister.
Tara Fenix: I trained her.
Jennie and Jonna lock up in the middle of the ring! Jonna is able to get the advantage by getting Jennie into a side headlock, and starts wrenching against her neck… Jennie tries to alleviate some of the pressure, and is able to get herself loosened far enough to shove Jonna toward the ropes!
Jonna rebounds back, and takes Jennie down with a shoulder block.
Tara Fenix: It… It’s just a little bit of a rough start.
Skylar Rayner: Maybe you should get in her corner?
Tara Fenix: What’s the rush? If I get in there, this would be over before they could blink.
Jonna rushes the ropes, and Jennie rolls over onto her stomach; Jonna goes over, and Jennie now springs to her feet and on the rebound, leapfrogs over. Jennie continues forward when Jonna rebounds yet again, and Jennie springs off the middle rope to go for a crossbody! Jonna goes down, and Jennie rolls her up.
Tara Fenix: Do you see what I’m talking about?
Skylar Rayner: It was a good counter, but doesn’t look like it’s near enough. Jonna kicks out before the count of two. Jennie is a bit quicker to her feet, but Jonna right behind her, and Jennie with a stiff kick forward…but wait! Jonna caught it!
Jennie hobbles inside of the ring when Jonna holds her leg and is trying to keep her off balance; Jennie counters with an enzuigiri! Jonna goes down to one knee. Jennie springs back up, and rushes the ropes to come back for a shining wizard!
Jonna avoids contact!
Jazmin Davis: That knee looked like it was coming in with some authority! I do have to say, I like the confidence you have in your sister, Tara.
Tara Fenix: Thank you! The match is just getting started, and Jennie has a lot of fight in her.
Both legal combatants scramble to their feet, but Jonna is faster this time; just as Jennie is turning toward her, Jonna flies in with a forearm smash that connects! Jonna looks over Jennie momentarily toward Tara, and begins challenging her to get in the ring.
Tara Fenix: You couldn’t handle me, darling.
Jonna rains down with several forearm strikes, but Jennie persists in staying on her feet; Jonna drives a knee against her midsection, and then grabs her by the head and charges her to their corner and smashes her head against the turnbuckle! Jonna tags in Lluvia, and Lluvia comes in to deliver a couple of swift kicks against Jennie.
Skylar Rayner: It took one mistake from Jennie, and she’s looking like she’s in trouble.
Tara Fenix: A little dazed. She’ll shake it off.
Lluvia snags Jennie’s arm, and pulls her in for a short-arm clothesline! She quickly goes down for the cover, but Jennie kicks out at two.
Lluvia keeps control over the arm and pulls Jennie back to a standing position, then connects with an uppercut and takes her over with a snapmare, and then rushes forward to rebound off the ropes and come back with a front dropkick to her seated opponent! Lluvia goes for another quick cover, but Jennie, again, kicks out at two.
Jonna Austin glances over at Tara and shakes her head discerningly.
Back inside of the ring, Lluvia still has a bit of control over Jennie when she pulls her back to her feet and calls for the EMPRESS OF THUNDER! She has Jennie in position, and lifts her for the first of three suplexes.
Jennie is able to shift her weight, and land behind Lluvia! She gets Lluvia into a waist lock, and Lluvia scrambles forward to keep Jennie from fully countering, and Jonna tags herself in… Lluvia still gets a hard impact against the corner, and Jennie, having not seen the tag, fires in with a few elbows against her back.
Jonna gets into the ring and delivers an overhand forearm strike to Jennie, and then pulls her up and hits her with a headbutt! The move staggers both of them. Lluvia goes back to the ring apron, and stretches out her back while Jonna maintains the pressure on Jennie; she gets her into a front headlock and drags her away from the ropes.
Skylar Rayner: Jonna wisely tagged herself in at that moment, and Jennie didn’t see it happening. It kind of stumped the momentum that she was building, and–
Tara Fenix: Oh! There she goes!
Jennie charges Jonna backwards into the respective corner of The Fenix Sisters, where Tara would be if she were not commentating, and begins driving in several shoulder thrusts! One! Two! Three! Four times! Jennie then flips backward to create some separation and comes in for a FIFTH!
Tara Fenix: There’s the spark!
Skylar Rayner: But she’s fighting against two!
Jennie gets Jonna into a side headlock and points out to the crowd to get them rallied; she charges forward for a bulldog!
Jonna is able to get out, narrowly, and shoves Jennie forward! Jennie lands on her back but immediately rolls over as Jonna charges in for a clothesline bringing her back into their own corner! Jonna starts to deliver several kicks to Jennie’s midsection until she gets to a seated position in the corner and has no choice but to defend herself, and then she starts with the mudhole stomping!
Jonna tags in Lluvia after several stomps, and then Lluvia comes in and continues the attack.
Tara Fenix: Alright, I’ve seen enough.
Outside of the ring, Tara takes off the headset and is rushing back to her corner.
Lluvia tags Jonna back in, and Jonna continues with the stomps to continue wearing Jennie down. Jonna pulls Jennie up, and connects with a DDT that has Jennie in perfect position; Jonna tags Lluvia back in, and Lluvia then climbs to the top rope and comes off with TRUTH AND GRIEF! Lluvia reaches back to hook the leg.
One! Two! Jennie is able to get a foot on the rope! Lluvia looks a little surprised, and flustered with herself for not creating more separation; she persists.
Across the ring, Tara is pounding the corner to try to get the crowd to rally behind her sister and get her into the match.
Jazmin Davis: Tara may have just waited too long, and now they just have Jennie exactly where they want her.
Skylar Rayner: It’s a numbers game. So long as they continue with quick tags, I think we’re going to see some new champions here tonight to kick off the Denzel Porter Invitational!
Lluvia pulls Jennie back to her feet and forces her back into the corner; she rains in with several chops to continue wearing her down and makes a quick tag to Jonna; Jonna comes back in and starts to deliver kicks to Jennie’s midsection. Jonna goes in for a knife edge chop of her own, and a sudden surge of energy comes to Jennie!
Jennie counters!
Jazmin Davis: Jennie starting to fight back!
Jennie delivers a back elbow against Lluvia on the apron, and then comes forward with an elbow to Jonna; the alternating shots between both of her opponents comes in rapid succession as Jennie starts to gain some ground and get out of the corner! Jonna delivers an uppercut to stump the momentum…Jonna sends her off the ropes and on the return, goes for a Lou Thesz Press!
Jennie counters with a dropkick hitting Jonna in midair, and the crowd goes wild!
Skylar Rayner: Impeccable timing! Jennie is in the driver seat now, but she’s going to have to desperately make that tag!
Tara is still at the corner and calling for the tag, and Jennie crawls her way towards her… Jonna is able to beat her to the tag by bringing Lluvia in, and just before Jennie can get to Tara, Lluvia gets her hands on her.
Jazmin Davis: So close, and I’m wondering how much longer Jennie can keep this going.
Skylar Rayner: It’s not looking good for her if Lluvia pulls off something big.
Lluvia gets Jennie in position and goes for a suplex! Jennie is able to counter it, and take Lluvia down with a back cracker!
Jennie doesn’t hesitate with going the rest of the way and getting Tara into the ring! Jennie rolls under the bottom rope to rest on the ring apron, and Tara bursts into the ring as the freshest person in the match; Lluvia, to her feet, is taken right back down with a clothesline! Tara continues forward, and Jonna moves off the apron before any impact occurs!
Lluvia gets right back up, and Tara is there to meet her; she delivers an uppercut, followed by a knee strike to her midsection but something is wrong…Tara is off-balance, hobbling; Lluvia caught her around the knee and takes her down with a double leg takedown! Lluvia flips over her and rolls her up for a quick cover:
One! Two! Tara kicks out!
Skylar Rayner: Lluvia almost stole that one away!
Jazmin Davis: A terrific counter, and she is stopping the fire rather quickly that Tara came in with!
Lluvia is the first one to her feet this time, and is able to move forward to make the quick tag to Jonna… Tara gets up to her knees just as Jonna is entering the ring, and Jonna catches her with a shining wizard! Jonna does cringe a little from how hard she hit the move, doing damage to her own knee in the process, but still goes for the cover.
Jazmin Davis: That looks like it did just as much damage against Jonna as it did to Tara, but all she has to do is take her down for three seconds!
Skylar Rayner: Jennie can see her sister in trouble early on, and–
Jennie makes it inside the ring to break the cover before the count of three!
Skylar Rayner: Just in the nick of time!
Tara looks dazed while getting to her feet, and the referee is distracted with trying to get Jennie back out of the ring. Jonna maintains the pressure on Tara, and delivers a few weak strikes, alternating with fists, elbows, and an occasional knee to keep her dazed; Jonna takes Tara back down with a headlock driver and looks to go for another quick cover, but Tara is moving too much…Jonna opts to pull Tara back to her feet, and send her back into the corner before making the tag to Lluvia.
Jonna stays inside the ring this time, and they both take Tara across the ring with a double Irish whip; on the return, they take her down with a double spinebuster, and Lluvia rolls her up into a cover as Jonna escapes the ring!
One! TWO! Jennie makes another save!
Skylar Rayner: Tara is struggling out there, and when she was so confident, it seems like she has to get Jennie back into the ring, and soon!
Jazmin Davis: This crowd is still trying to rally behind the champions!
Lluvia controls Tara while getting them both back to a vertical base, and Lluvia connects with a suplex! Lluvia swivels to get back up, and a second– and a third! EMPRESS OF THUNDER!
Jazmin Davis: Lluvia is in control here.
Jennie is now pounding the turnbuckle to get the crowd to rally further behind Tara, and get her back into this match, but to no avail. Lluvia makes the tag to Jonna, and Jonna gets back into the ring…Lluvia and Jonna share a few words to telegraph their next sequence, and Jonna drags Tara to their corner; Jonna hits the RETURNED FATE!
Jonna reaches over to tag in Lluvia, and within the blink of an eye, she ascends to the top rope and comes off with YOUR HORIZON!
Jazmin Davis: We’re going to be looking at new champions here!
Jazmin hooks the leg, ensuring that she’s between Tara and the ropes.
Jennie is already springing into the ring, but Jonna is there to cut her off!
Skylar Rayner: New champions!
ONE! TWO! THRE—NOOOO!!!!!!
The crowd is going into a frenzy, as Lluvia is inquiring from the referee if he’s certain it wasn’t a three count…the referee holds the two fingers at her, as Tara lies down with her arm thrown up to keep her shoulder off of the mat. Lluvia is trying to get Jonna’s attention, but Jonna and Jennie are continuing to battle, and the referee is now trying to get them back into their corners.
Lluvia stands at her corner, watching some of the action between Jennie and Jonna but waits for Tara to get back to her feet…and then fires for the ANGELIC REBELLION!
Skylar Rayner: This kick is gonna take her head– NO!
TARA DUCKS!
Jazmin Davis: I don’t even know if she knew it was coming!
Skylar Rayner: As if by a sixth sense!
Tara fires in for a GENOCIDE KICK!
LLUVIA DUCKS!
Jazmin Davis: Tara nearly took her head off with that counter, and she’s ended many, many people with that superkick!
Skylar Rayner: It looks like the referee has finally gotten control on the outside of the ring, as Jennie and Jonna are returning to their respective corners.
Tara and Lluvia are both off-balance following the sequence…Jennie is calling for the tag, as Tara connects with an elbow strike against Lluvia! Lluvia fires for her own, and the two alternate shots with one another until Tara counters! Tara pulls Lluvia for a short-arm whip toward her, and pulls her onto her shoulders! Lluvia fights for a moment, but Tara flings her up and brings her down with BURN TO ASHES!
Jazmin Davis: Get that cover!
Skylar Rayner: Lluvia looks to be out of it, but Tara is scrambling for a tag!
Lluvia shakes out the cobwebs and is looking to see Tara escaping to the corner where a desperate Jennie is stretching her arm out as far as she can… Lluvia knows that she’s too far to stop her, and goes to tag in Jonna.
Jonna and Jennie get tagged in at the same time!
Jennie comes in with a spinning headscissors! Jonna rolls through, as Lluvia looks to help squelch the momentum, but is met with OUT OF WISHES! Lluvia goes tumbling to the outside of the ring, and Jonna goes for an attack on the unsuspecting Jennie, but Jennie hits her with a knee to the midsection then sets her up perfectly for the trifecta of northern lights suplexes! THREE WISHES!
Jennie keeps the bridge held on the last one to get the cover:
Skylar Rayner: This is it! Still champions!
ONE! TWO! THRE– JONNA ROLLS HER SHOULDER OFF THE MAT!
Skylar Rayner: Unbelievable!
Jazmin Davis: With this much on the line, neither team wants to give it up so easily!
Jennie is the first one to her feet, but Jonna comes up swinging! A wild haymaker sends Jennie back a step, and Jonna grabs Jennie to send her toward the corner; Jennie springs to the top rope while Jonna is charging in, and back flips over her, landing back on her feet! Jennie uses a front dropkick to send her forward and she hits the second turnbuckle, dazed by the impact…Jennie rushes forward and does a handstand on the turnbuckle, gaining some momentum as she comes down driving her knees into Jonna’s back! Jonna turns into a seated position, arching her back in pain…Jennie does another handstand to build momentum as she comes down now with another dropkick!
Jonna rolls to the outside of the ring, and Lluvia, still dazed, re-enters the ring; the referee calls for the legal changing of partners and Jennie looks to come in with a second OUT OF WISHES!
LLUVIA ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!
Skylar Rayner: Jennie has been hot, but Lluvia, now the legal partner, is able to avoid it the second time!
Tara is calling for the tag again on the corner.
Jonna gets into the ring while Jennie is still recovering, and tries to blindside Jennie! Tara is there to counter her and take her back to the outside with a clothesline!
Lluvia spins Tara around, and Tara counters with a FALLEN PHOENIX! Jennie was able to recover; the move doesn’t take Lluvia down, but in a daze, she turns around, and Jennie connects with OUT OF WISHES for a second time! Tara rolls out of the ring to hold Jonna out of the equation, and Jennie hooks the leg:
ONE! TWO! THREE!!!!!
Announcer: Your winners! BY WAY OF PINFALL! JENNIE AND TARA FENIX! THE! FENIX! SISTEEEERRRRRRSSSSS!!!!!
“Black Sheep” by Dorothy blasts over the PA as Jennie and Tara raise their arms in unison; the referee retrieves the titles and hands them to the sisters as they celebrate in the center of the ring.
Skylar Rayner: That’s putting Tara at 1-0 for this years Denzel Porter Invitational, because remember, she is going one-on-one with JAMES RAVEN tomorrow night!
Jazmin Davis: That has to build some of her momentum going to that match! Jonna and Jazmin put up a good effort, but it just wasn’t enough to thwart the sisters this evening!

Sunday March 26th, Live from AT&T Stadium in Dallas Texas.
Match Two
Standard Singles Match
Shane Donovan vs Marcus Ka’Derrion
Four Weeks Ago, CCPE Vs. The World:
We see the label from CCPE Vs. The World displayed on the screen. It drops away, as we see Shane Donovan about to leave the locker room of Xavier Lux, when he runs into a foe he's faced before: Marcus Ka'Derrion.
MARCUS KA'DERRION: Shane Donovan? Is that really you? What the hell are you doing here?
SHANE DONOVAN: Making a point, or will be. I heard you were done.
The two men talk, with Marcus more interested in prepping Xavier for the match later. Donovan nods to him.
MARCUS KA'DERRION: Got me ringside tickets for this match with Jack Jr. You’ve done great with that kid, you should feel proud. Anyway, I’ll see ya.
SHANE DONOVAN: Thanks. I’ll see you later I’m sure.
Shane watches as Marcus goes into the locker room, glaring at the closed door.
SHANE DONOVAN: I’ll definitely be seeing you both later.
Donovan then walks off, as we cinematically cut to the match between Jack Sullivan and Xavier Lux, showing off some of the big moments of the match, with Marcus focused on at ringside, cheering them on. We see Jack get the victory with a German Bridge pin, and Xavier raising Jack's hand afterwards. The shot then focuses on a fuming Shane Donovan, who jumps the barricade and attacks both wrestlers, laying them out before grabbing a chair. But he doesn't use it on either of them; instead... he nails Marcus in the chest!! Shane then drops the chair, grabbing the man and hauling him over the barricade and tossing him into the ring steps. Shane then moves to shove the top stair away before laying Marcus across the bottom stair on his stomach.
SHANE DONOVAN: You all just had to steal my moment, didn’t you? Especially you, Marcus. You took my glory, and you didn’t even $&@!ing want it!
Picking up the chair, Shane brings it down across Ka’Derrion’s back before he places it onto Marcus’ head. Shane then climbs up onto the apron, leaping off and stomping the chair down onto the laid out man’s head!
DENZEL PORTER: Oh my God! What a brutal attack by Shane! And why? What is the reason Tyler?!
TYLER CAGE: I have no idea Denzel, I get him coming after Lux and Sullivan, but this attack on Ka’Derrion is completely unwarranted.
Shane stands over the badly injured Marcus, still furious, blaming him. We cut away to shots of Marcus recovering in the hospital, even as Xavier Lux and Paco watch on. Shane's voice can be heard, echoing over it.
SHANE DONOVAN: I bet you didn’t miss it, did you Marcus? That coppery tang in your mouth as you choke on your own blood? ... A little taste of the life you consider yourself too good for these days.[/color]
We see Marcus suddenly awaken, his body shaking in anger and his almost bloodshot eyes full of rage, shouting Donovan's name...
SHANE DONOVAN: You certainly always thought yourself better than me. You, the legacy, the man GCWA bent over backwards to accommodate and sign because of who your sperm donor was.[/color]
The image shifts to show Donovan glaring at the camera, filled with scorn for his opponent.
SHANE DONOVAN: Then you have me, the malcontent. The guy no one has ever wanted in their promotion but signed anyways because I make everyone around me better. You’re all on your toes when I’m desecrating the sanctity of the locker room with my very presence. I’m the villain for the hero to vanquish.
Shane leans forward, scowling.
SHANE DONOVAN: The monster.
The shot switches to Marcus sitting in a wheelchair outdoors, as he focuses towards the camera.
MARCUS KA'DERRION: Shane, Shane, Shane… Now-a-days you call yourself the ‘man-made-monster’ but all I see after the stunt you pulled a few weeks ago is a ‘self-made-coward’.
Thanks to the XWF library, we see some footage from the one and only time these wrestlers have met before, in a GCWA ring, showing some of the athleticism that was displayed in their Iron Man match for the World Heavyweight Championship.
MARCUS KA'DERRION: You said I stole your moment? No, I took it from you by being the better wrestler that night… For sixty minutes you and I wrestled, and I showed the world that I belonged.
After several harrowing moments, we see Ka'Derrion's last-minute pinfall victory, winning 4-3 over Shane.
MARCUS KA'DERRION: You also said I took your glory? No, I earned it. That night, after it was all said and done and my arm was raised in victory, I was no longer in my father’s shadow… I was no longer Punisher’s kid riding his father’s coattails but my own man.
Marcus celebrates in the ring, hoisting up the World Title. The shot shifts to modern-day Marcus, who has the GCWA World Title out of storage, placing it onto his shoulder. We shift back to Shane, who is shaking his head.
SHANE DONOVAN: You need to understand that you have squandered your gift. You could’ve easily been the man your daddy wanted you to be. You could’ve been a legend in this business, not just in the GCWA but across the entire landscape.
Donovan raises his arms, then slowly lowers them, looking straight at the camera.
SHANE DONOVAN: Instead, you spit in everyone’s face. You said no thanks. You let that God-given talent rot. You forgot one very important thing though, didn’t you Marcus? This business has TEETH.
A few flashes of Shane's beating on Marcus flash by again.
MARCUS KA'DERRION: Oh I get it, you saw a man you haven’t seen in over a decade wearing a suit and thought: "look at this pencil neck geek, I’ll make quick work of him, watch." Well, like the expression goes Shane, never judge a book by its cover.
Marcus is shown getting out of the wheelchair and showing off his physique, still maintained after all these years. He looks ready to rumble. Both men are shown in a split-screen.
SHANE DONOVAN: There’s no escaping this, Marcus. You made sure of that yourself with this stipulation.
A bull-rope is shown in-between the two men, coiled up and ready to do a great deal of damage. Marcus can be seen, raising up the doctor's letter in his hand.
MARCUS KA'DERRION: There is nothing stopping me now from making Shane Donovan feel my pain...[/color]
Shane smiles darkly, as both men seem to turn and stare at each other through a nice bit of editing.
SHANE DONOVAN: I’m already trapped in my prison. Always have been, always will be, but now you’re trapped in it with me. It’ll be fun.
For a second, it almost appears that both men start to swing... but the picture cracks apart before this happens, taking us back to the arena. The crowd is cheering, excited after that intro, as they await the combatants in this one.
"I wanna be… a messiah… a king… a God in extension!"
The words blare over the PA system before the opening riffs of "God in Extension" by Jack Daw kick in and Shane Donovan steps onto the entrance ramp. He is clad in black tights with "MANMADEMONSTER" written down his left leg and "SOCIETY" written down the right, with a heavy knee brace over his tights on that leg as well as a black and white coat with a hood that is over his head.
Shane makes his way down the ramp as the song continues to play, taunting fans as he reaches the ring, circling it until he comes to the ring stairs and climbs up them, stepping between the top and middle ropes to enter. Once inside, he removes his jacket, handing it off to a ringside worker before he turns his focus to the center of the ring to prepare for his match to begin.
Denzel Porter: Donovan is well-known as a great veteran of our sport, a man who has won numerous championships in the business.
Tyler Cage: He's also a ruthless individual who has shown in the past he's been willing to do anything to win. He also holds a hell of a grudge, as these two last fought back in 2009!
Mister Big Ticket: Some losses stick with you harder than others, Tyler. Clearly, Donovan never forgot...
The song “No More Sorrow” by Linkin Park begins to play, causing the fans to turn towards the entrance. “Prince of Pain” is displayed on the big screen and the crowd, who by now has gotten to their feet, cheer loudly as Paco "The Drinking Time Bomb" Perez comes out carrying in his hands a bull rope complete with cowbell.
Shortly after Marcus Ka’Derrion follows, causing the crowd to cheer even louder. His face looks completely healed, and his look is a focused and determined one. He is decked out on some new wrestling gear and a "TPW" t-shirt with the sleeves ripped off. Paco puts the bull rope around his neck and Marcus looks at it and smiles, clearly nothing but bad intensions in his mind. He shakes hands with Paco who leaves to the back, not before waving to the crowd and taking a beer from a fan who happily gives it up. Marcus hangs on to the cowbell as he makes his way to the ring, slapping the hands of a fan or two. The video package on the big screen shows highlights of his matches in GCWA from a couple of years ago as well as his latest match, though over a year ago, a steel cage match vs. his tag team partner, Xavier Lux in TPW.
Once Marcus gets to the ring area, he goes up the steel steps, gets inside the ring, and walks over to a corner where he lays the bull rope on. He then climbs to the second turnbuckle and throws his arms to the side getting more cheers from the crowd. He then takes off his t-shirt to reveal he is still in amazing shape, but more importantly, showing no bruises from the attack he suffered at the hands of Shane Donovan almost a month ago. He then tosses the t-shirt to a lucky fan before hopping down and awaiting the start of the match.
Denzel Porter: Ka'Derrion took a massive beating from Shane Donovan last month, but it appears that he has recovered from those injuries in record fashion.
Tyler Cage: The scars may not show on his skin, Denzel, but you know that assault could have done more damage than we can see. At the very least, Marcus is probably replaying that event in his mind right now, with Shane standing across the ring from him.
Mister Big Ticket: You also have to wonder about any ring rust Ka'Derrion might be dealing with. While he looks in excellent shape, he hasn't wrestled near as much as Donovan has as of late. That could definitely play a factor in tonight's contest.
The referee signals for both men to come together. They do, both seemingly wary of the other, even as the ref begins to attach the bull rope that Ka'Derrion brought onto the wrists of both men.
Denzel Porter: We're going to see a brutal contest here tonight. Both men are going to be fashioned together, giving them nowhere to run when things aren't going their way.
Tyler Cage: There's no winning by 'touching the corners' here tonight. No, the goal is to beat the other man unconscious or make him submit! There's no other way to end this, and that's just how these two want it!
The referee makes sure both men are secured tightly, then steps back. He appears nervous, knowing that he's putting his own livelihood on the line by working this contest. But the man is brave enough to signal for the bell, getting this one started!
Both men begin to pull in the slack of the bull rope, preparing themselves. Donovan nods to Ka'Derrion, wanting a tug of war, with Ka'Derrion seeming to agree to it. Donovan counts down from three, but seems to start yanking at 1... only for Ka'Derrion to immediately charge him, tackling Donovan to the ground!!! Ka'Derrion swings away, letting out some of his fury at Donovan's sneak attack from last month, as Donovan tries to fight back!
Mister Big Ticket: Marcus isn't playing tonight!
Denzel Porter: Shane may have thought he could pull a trick on Marcus early, but Marcus is looking for some payback.
Tyler Cage: Hey, it's only natural when someone puts you in the hospital, you want to return the favor.
Ka'Derrion has pulled Donovan up now, bringing him over to the corner. He says a few choice words to his foe, before climbing up on the turnbuckle and punching away at him. The crowd chants along, even as Donovan struggles to pull the rope in towards him... getting hold of the cowbell portion! As Ka'Derrion finishes his strikes, Donovan lashes out himself... hitting Ka'Derrion low with the cowbell!!! Ka'Derrion falls back to the mat, groaning, as Donovan rubs at his jaw from the strikes he took. He then glares at Ka'Derrion, stepping over him... and hammering down on his back with the cowbell!!
Tyler Cage: It didn't take Donovan long to utilize that bell.
Mister Big Ticket: He probably focused on it as soon as Marcus walked in with the bullrope. You knew it was going to be a factor, just not this early!
Donovan has pulled Ka'Derrion up now, insulting him for the 'size' of the bell he brought, before he shoots Ka'Derrion towards the ropes. However, with the bullrope, it's only a short journey, as Ka'Derrion gets yanked backwards and crashes to the ground! Donovan smirks, hearing the boos from the crowd, as he heads over to Ka'Derrion, kicking at him a few times to get him over into the corner. Donovan then backs up as far as he can, directing a few hand signals to the crowd to say what's coming next. He runs forward for a Cannonball... but Ka'Derrion slides under the ropes, with Donovan hitting nothing but turnbuckle!!
Denzel Porter: A picture-perfect avoidance from Mr. Ka'Derrion there!
Tyler Cage: Sometimes the best move you can make is to simply not be there when your opponents makes his move...
Mister Big Ticket: And now it looks like we're not going to stay in the ring, boys!
Using the bullrope, Ka'Derrion has dragged a struggling Donovan to the apron, dropping a quick forearm to Donovan's throat to slow him down. He then pulls Donovan out, throwing him to the side. Ka'Derrion waits for Donovan to waste energy getting up before running forward. He strikes at Donovan with the cowbell, smashing it right into Donovan's lower back!! Donovan collapses forward to his knees, hurting, as Ka'Derrion quickly comes in with a running kick to the back, knocking Donovan onto his stomach! The crowd is loving it, cheering on the increase in violence, as Ka'Derrion prepares his next move.
Tyler Cage: Neither of these men are going to be sleeping well tonight, not with the condition that their spines are going to be in.
Denzel Porter: I disagree. No matter the pain, the winner will still get a better night's sleep than the loser, even if it's in traction at the hospital.
Mister Big Ticket: Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but with these two, you never know.
Ka'Derrion has Donovan back up now, looking to deliver a backbreaker on the outside. But Donovan fights free, dropping to a sitting position behind Ka'Derrion, who tries to turn around. Donovan, however, rolls around him, then twists around a second time, and suddenly Ka'Derrion finds his legs ensnared in the bullrope! He tries to pull himself free, but it's too late, as Donovan does one more roll, causing Ka'Derrion's legs to be pulled out from under him, slamming Ka'Derrion into the outside floor! Donovan gets up, jumping forward onto Ka'Derrion... and quickly applies a crossface submission, using part of the bullrope to pull Ka'Derrion's head back!!
Denzel Porter: A violent yet effective version of the crossface!
Tyler Cage: And pinfalls and submissions can happen anywhere, so this is completely legal!
The referee has slid out of the ring, checking on Ka'Derrion, who is refusing to submit. He works to push the bullrope away from his face, struggling against it enough that Donovan opts to drop it, instead punching Ka'Derrion a few times in the back of the head. He then gets up, annoyed, before wrapping the bullrope around Ka'Derrion's neck! He pulls Ka'Derrion up, bringing the coughing man to his feet, holding onto him from behind as he again tells Ka'Derrion that there's no escape. He then starts hammering at Donovan from behind with shots from his knee brace, causing Ka'Derrion's legs to buckle, only to be kept upright by the choke!
Mister Big Ticket: So far, it seems like Shane is getting more use out of the bullrope in this one.
Denzel Porter: You can bet both men studied dozens of matches, trying to learn the best secrets to winning a match like this.
Tyler Cage: Well, at this point, Donovan's proving to be the more violent student...
With Ka'Derrion incapacitated, Donovan drags him back to the ring, rolling him back inside. Donovan follows, making sure not to get the bullrope tangled, as he gets to his feet. He walks over to Ka'Derrion, taunting him, yelling about Ka'Derrion's legendary father as he wraps the bullrope around one of Ka'Derrion's feet. He starts to turn Ka'Derrion over, seemingly going for a Cloverleaf variation!! But Ka'Derrion blocks it, managing to knock Donovan away! As Donovan comes back, trying for it again, Ka'Derrion uses the leverage from the bullrope to trip Donovan up... then twists him down, applying a cross kneelock submission!! Donovan now fights for the ropes, trying to get free, as the referee circles both men.
Denzel Porter: Shane is relying on his wrestling instincts, but the ring ropes won't help him here.
Mister Big Ticket: Nope, there are no disqualifications, so there are no rope breaks unless they involve that bullrope!
Tyler Cage: It looks like Marcus would love to take Donovan's legs away from him, a sound strategy for a Bullrope match.
Mister Big Ticket: Hell, it's a sound strategy for ANY match.
Donovan struggles to get free, pushing away with his free leg, and Ka'Derrion breaks the hold, rolling away. On instinct, Donovan rolls out of the ring, getting a breather. But Ka'Derrion immediately pulls the bullrope taut, dragging Donovan back into the ring! As Donovan gets up, Ka'Derrion charges at him, swinging the cowbell portion, but Donovan ducks under it! Ka'Derrion spins around, but Donovan kicks him in the gut, then pulls him in, landing The Millennial Descent (Double Underhook Implant DDT)!! Ka'Derrion's down, as Donovan makes the first cover of the contest...
ONE!!
TWO!!
And Ka'Derrion kicks out! Donovan looks at the ref, wanting a little more speed next time, before stepping in to haul Ka'Derrion back up to do more damage.
Denzel Porter: These two are definitely showing why they've been two of the best in the game!
Tyler Cage: But Donovan's experience edge might be beginning to show here, as he's starting to take control...
With Ka'Derrion appearing dazed, Donovan takes full advantage, delivering a wrist clutch exploder suplex to toss Ka'Derrion away from him! Ka'Derrion rolls in pain, but only as far as the bullrope will let him. Donovan laughs as he approaches his foe, wrapping up some of the bullrope around his arm to allow him to deliver a stiffer punishment. He then gets behind Ka'Derrion, pulling him up into a rear chinlock variation, while rubbing the bullrope over and over across Ka'Derrion's forehead!! Ka'Derrion yells out, feeling some skin cells getting scraped off, as Donovan continues with murderous intensity!
Mister Big Ticket: This is getting brutal!
Denzel Porter: I think, yes, Marcus Ka'Derrion has been busted open!
Tyler Cage: We've got blood, and I think it's only going to get worse!
Donovan seems to enjoy the sight of Ka'Derrion's blood on the bullrope, as he pulls himself away from the hurting wrestler. He swings the bullrope piece around, sending a few flecks of blood flying in all directions. Donovan then signals that he's wanting to punish Ka'Derrion some more, wanting the Paradigm Shift!! He pulls Donovan up, locking him into the pumphandle position... no, Ka'Derrion yanks free, instead lifting a startled Donovan up and catching him with a kneebreaker, sending Donovan violently to the canvas clutching at his leg! Ka'Derrion drops to a knee, wiping some blood from his eyes, while Donovan struggles to recover from the jolt.
Denzel Porter: A picture-perfect reversal by Marcus Ka'Derrion there, showing that he hasn't lost that killer instinct that took him to the top of the business!
Mister Big Ticket: Yeah, but is he going to be able to utilize that instinct when he's having trouble seeing?
Tyler Cage: I think that's where the bullrope comes in handy!
As Donovan gets up, Ka'Derrion pulls from behind with the bullrope, quickly traversing it to get behind Donovan and get a chop block to the back of the knee, doing further damage! Donovan rolls, hurting badly from the strikes to his leg, as Ka'Derrion again swipes at his eyes to clear his vision. Donovan struggles to get up, limping, as Ka'Derrion comes in again. Donovan swings wildly, missing over a ducking Ka'Derrion, who steps in and locks him up, getting a snap cradle brainbuster!! Ka'Derrion stays on top, hanging on for the cover...
ONE!!
TWO!!
And Donovan is able to kick out in time!
Tyler Cage: What will it take to keep one of these men down for the count?
Denzel Porter: Someone will have to find a way, as this match can't go all night.
Mister Big Ticket: Hell no, we've got too many other matches to go!
With Donovan still down, Ka'Derrion opts to take this to another level. He heads for the turnbuckle, going outside of his usual comfort zone. He's readjusted the cowbell to have it in hand, as he braces himself to jump off the top onto Donovan... but Donovan suddenly yanks on the rope, throwing Ka'Derrion off-balance and causing him to fall onto the ropes!! As Ka'Derrion bounces there painfully, Donovan limps over, reaching up to lift Ka'Derrion off the turnbuckle to deliver a twisting brainbuster!! The crowd gasps, even as Donovan makes the cover...
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR- No! Ka'Derrion pushes a shoulder off the mat! Donovan shakes his head, as the crowd cheers, showing who they're favoring in this one.
Denzel Porter: Another near fall!
Tyler Cage: We're seeing some big maneuvers from both men, as well as their tremendous fighting spirits! Both want this win badly!
Mister Big Ticket: But only one gets to walk out of here with the win... if either one CAN walk out of here once this is said and done!
With Ka'Derrion trying to recover, Donovan is just looking annoyed behind him. He pushes Ka'Derrion upwards for a second... then begins applying the Clincher, his submission finisher!!! Ka'Derrion desperately tries to fight it, as Donovan works his way into the body scissors portion, while clinging to Ka'Derrion's head, wanting to cut off his air supply. But Ka'Derrion still has one ace up his sleeve, as he's still holding onto the cowbell!! He swings upward, crashing the bell straight between Donovan's eyes!!! Donovan slumps backwards, knocked senseless, as Ka'Derrion takes a moment to get his breath back, freeing himself from the hold!
Tyler Cage: What a strike to the head!!
Denzel Porter: And now it looks like Shane Donovan is bleeding as well!
Mister Big Ticket: We have a replacement pad to bring out for the ring after this one, right?
Denzel Porter: Thankfully, we are prepared for an eventuality like this.
Both men are struggling to get to their feet, with Donovan suddenly realizing that he's bleeding. He angrily brushes off some blood, then confronts Ka'Derrion, yelling at him for what he's done. Ka'Derrion answers with a right hand, and the two warriors begin slugging it out, each trying to get the upper hand as the audience cheers in delight! Ka'Derrion manages it, knocking Donovan back towards the ropes. Ka'Derrion then jumps OVER the ropes, dropping to the outside, as he uses the bullrope to yank Donovan downwards throat-first onto the top rope!! Donovan springs backwards, as Ka'Derrion pulls himself back onto the apron, then hops back into the ring, repositioning himself.
Denzel Porter: Marcus might have him just where he wants him here!
Tyler Cage: You've got to strike when your opponent is off-balance, and that's certainly the cage here!
As Donovan struggles to get up, Ka'Derrion moves behind him, grabbing Donovan by the arms. He begins to lift him up into a crucifix position, getting Donovan ready for the His Legacy powerbomb!! In desperation, Donovan kicks at the nearby ring ropes, throwing Ka'Derrion's balance off. Donovan's then able to get free, dropping behind Ka'Derrion, as he quickly wraps the bullrope around Ka'Derrion's throat!! Ka'Derrion fights against it, but Donovan now has the leverage, working to choke his opponent out in the most violent way possible!!
Mister Big Ticket: That rope has to feel like a saw against Marcus' throat!
Denzel Porter: I'd like to remind our medical personnel to please be standing by.
Tyler Cage: This is like out of a horror movie, the way Donovan seems to be enjoying it!
The camera focuses on Donovan's bloody face as he chokes away at Ka'Derrion, leaning in with a grin to whisper to the man as he slowly chokes him down to his knees. The ref moves in, wondering if it's over, and begins to check Ka'Derrion's arm.
Once up, it falls.
Twice up, it falls again.
The third and final time... it bounces back up, staying in the air!!! The crowd cheers wildly, chanting for Ka'Derrion, as he starts to work his way back to his feet, even as Donovan's eyes go wide. He tries to apply more pressure, wanting to fully choke the man out, but Ka'Derrion throws all his weight forward, flipping Donovan over him!! Donovan hits hard, stunned, as Ka'Derrion gets the rope off of his throat, gasping heavily for air.
Mister Big Ticket: Wow, I really thought that was going to be it!
Tyler Cage: Something tells me Marcus isn't going to be able to give an interview after this one...
Denzel Porter: Talking certainly won't be easy for him...
Donovan's back to his feet first, stepping in and grabbing at the wounded Ka'Derrion... but Ka'Derrion twists him down into a small package, hanging on tightly! The ref's right there...
ONE!!
TWO!!
And Donovan escapes! He gets up, angrily swinging at Ka'Derrion, only to have Ka'Derrion duck under the swing and come back, getting a Switchblade variation using the bullrope!! Donovan's down, clutching at his throat, as a weary Ka'Derrion pulls himself up. He stumbles over, grabbing at Donovan's legs... working to get him over into The Punisher!!! The elevated Cloverleaf begins to get locked in, as Donovan is immediately in dire straits!! The ref comes over, checking to see if Donovan is going to submit... and Donovan grabs the referee by the shirt, using him as leverage to rise up, then yanking the ref forwards to send him crashing into the back of Ka'Derrion, breaking up the hold!!
Tyler Cage: Uh oh, the referee is down!
Denzel Porter: Not to worry, we planned for this eventuality as well...
With one referee laying on the canvas, we already see a second referee coming from the side and sliding in to take over the duties. Meanwhile, Donovan has the bell again, bringing it down onto the back of Ka'Derrion's neck, smashing him to the canvas!! The fans are booing as Donovan hovers over Ka'Derrion, mocking him, saying that Donovan's legacy is the one that matters. He clobbers Ka'Derrion once more, leaving him slumped on the mat, before Donovan rolls out of the ring, just about as far as he can go due to the bullrope.
Mister Big Ticket: Wait, where is Donovan going? Is he going to disconnect himself?
Tyler Cage: I don't think so. It looks more like he wants to finish what he started!
Denzel Porter: Oh no...
Having already thrown a chair into the ring, Donovan has gotten the top half of the ring steps free, tossing them in as well. He then climbs back into the ring, positioning the steps, before grabbing the barely conscious Ka'Derrion and dragging him onto them! With Ka'Derrion positioned, Donovan adds in the steel chair on top of his head, before turning and going to the turnbuckle, stretching out the rope. He gets ready, signaling that this is the end of a "legacy", as the crowd is reacting, not wanting to see this. He leaps off, aiming straight at Ka'Derrion's head...
And Ka'Derrion twists out of the way, causing Donovan to land on the steps instead!!!
As Donovan reels in agony, grabbing at his leg, Ka'Derrion hauls himself up, staggering over to him. He pulls Donovan up, locking him in place behind him, and lifts him up. Donovan struggles, trying to get free, but he's lost his leverage, as Ka'Derrion turns and jettisons him with The Punisher... onto the steel steps!!!
*CRASH*
The crowd is losing it, chanting "Holy Shit!!", as Donovan just lays on the steps, not moving. Ka'Derrion crawls over to him, shoving him to the mat, then makes the cover, clutching at both legs, as the second referee makes the count...
ONE!!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
Denzel Porter: He's done it!! Marcus Ka'Derrion has done it!!
Tyler Cage: What a match! And what an ending!!
Mister Big Ticket: Both men really showed us an incredible contest, giving up blood, sweat, & tears. You have to appreciate what they just both went through! But tonight, Ka'Derrion landed the final blow!
As Donovan is disconnected and helped to the outside, Ka'Derrion stays slumped over in the corner, still breathing heavily. He's basically wearing a crimson mask at this point, as his features are pretty obscured. The ref checks on him, seeing if they need to get medical in for him as well, but the crowd is already cheering as they see two individuals entering the ring behind the ref.
Denzel Porter: We've got some surprise visitors!
Tyler Cage: We've got Xavier Lux and Jack Sullivan in the building, the two who fought at CCPE Vs. The World!
Lux and Sullivan move in past the referee, checking on Ka'Derrion, with both lending him a hand to get to his feet. Ka'Derrion looks at both of them, nodding wearily to them, as Lux and Sullivan both congratulate him on the victory. The three wrestlers then embrace, as the crowd gives a roar of appreciation for all they've just seen. Lux and Sullivan then step to either side, each holding up an arm of Ka'Derrion, as the cheers continue.
SEGMENT
Switching backstage, the camera comes into focus, zoomed in on a gorgeously adorable booty! The cheeks lifting as a pair of jeans are pulled up and the squeeze is real as the cheeks bounce and jiggle before slipping into their position within the pants.
Jason Cashe: "What's going on here?!"
Quickly, the camera shifts and places the recording on Jason Cashe as he enters the locker room. Moving from Cashe to Josslynn, it was obvious the booty belonged to her. She hadn't even noticed the camera.
Josslynn Spencer: "They must be here for you.."
Shrugging, Josslynn leans up, kisses Cashe and skips towards the door to leave him to it so he can do what cameras come backstage during shows to do. Record.
Jason Cashe: "Hey! Eyes over here!!"
The camera was following Josslynn as she left the room, again, the zoom was being used as she closed the door behind her.
Jason Cashe: "That's not for you.. That's for me. Don't even comment on it you perv.."
As the camera settles in on Cashe, he begins to pull off his hoodie. The shirt he was wearing would cause a few eyes to widen. It was a throwback 4CW Shirt. Looking down at it, his eyes lift and stare into the camera with a grin forming on his face.
Jason Cashe: "Penny for your thoughts, Jace? You wanted the 'me' from 2016 didn't you? You wanted that top billing, loud mouth! That hit em up boooshit seeking version of me? I presented that to you! Where are you at? Where have you been?![/b][/color]
His arms shootout at his sides as if he were about to hug someone.
Jason Cashe: "You've double downed on opponents from Uprising, taking pride in bullying some to leave promotions. It's even in your twitter bio! Yet this match you BEGGED for? You've gone and created a safe space for yourself! You have ignored me.. You have treated me like we don't have a match and I am someone you have on mute and no longer want anything to do with but it was YOU who asked for this.. All of this!"
Pulling the 4CW Shirt off, Cashe crumbles it into a ball and chucks it off screen to the right. Now shirtless, you can see where his right nipple used to be, where now just some old scar tissue resides.
Jason Cashe: "So now you'll HAVE to see me.. If not on twitter then inside this match. Out there when the time for talking is over and the time to lump up your upstairs begins! You like to talk and yet you have gone silent because that's what people like you do.. You drive big trucks, you pound your chest and pick on those beneath you but when someone swings back and lands flush, you lose your confidence. You play victim better than any bitch made that came from 4CW and there were plenty.. I knew what you would do and you did exactly that! You're predictable. Pathetic. A fabrication of someone worth their weight in salt.."
Letting himself get antsy, Cashe doesn't want to get all worked up before it is time to open up the vents and let the aggression flow freely. Nodding, he sucks in some air through his teeth before coming to a conclusion.
[color=#df740]Jason Cashe:[/color] "Now I'm sure your bitch ass will have something to say here tonight.. You're backstage right now working your lines in a mirror, using expressions that you think help you look badass. I can't wait to hear it because it's the only time you will talk big to me. When I'm not there in your face to respond. So let's hear it.. I'd offer a penny for your thoughts but your punk ass would owe me some change.. See you out there Mr. King of Everything. I hope you're ready for everything and more that WILL come your way.. Like you said asking for this match, it's LONG overdue.."
Moving to the door. Cashe opens it and motions for the cameraman to leave.
Match Three
Fall Count Anywhere Match
Jacki O Lantern vs Finn Kuhn
Denzel Porter: This one is going to be a real treat for the hardcore and deathmatch fans as Jacki O'Lantern a Queen of extreme as some say is signed to XWF, Uprising, and OCW and will be taking on XWF Finn Kuhn in a Falls count anywhere match.
Tyler Cage: This was going to be a thriller in Vegas
Mister Big Ticket: We are about to find out, just how violent these two can get.
Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett plays and out comes Jacki O'Lantern from behind the curtain to thunderous cheers from the crowd.
Announcer: Making her way to the ring, from San Diego, CA, I give you Jacki O'Lantern!!!!!!
She walks down the ramp and looks toward them, noticing some signs in support of her, as she points to them and gives them a nod before ascending up the stairs and underneath the bottom rope where she enters the ring. She taunts the crowd, which generates more of a reaction from them, before focusing her eyes on the stage as her music dies and her opponent's music begins to play next.
The strong beat of Art of Blade begins to reverberate throughout the arena as the fans begin to get on their feet and cheer for who's about to come out. Before long, the sight of the King in Rags, Finn Kühn, comes out to a strong ovation. He looks out amidst the area, his kingdom for tonight as he smiles and then makes his way down the ramp.
Announcer: Making his way to the ring from New York City, New York by way of Frankfurt, Germany, I give you Finn Kuhn!!!!!
Finn steps inside the ring and walks to his corner and waits for the match to begin.
Denzel Porter: Both these competitors look ready to go to war and tear each other and this place apart.
Tyler Cage: Finn and Jackie about to take things to the extreme!!!
Mister Big Ticket: Buckle up folks it's going to be violence meets no mercy.
*Bell Rings*
Finn comes out the gate out as he knocks Jacki off the top rope with a hellacious close line. He then jumps to the top turnbuckle and waits for Jacki to get back to her feet and then launches off the top turnbuckle and nails Jacki with a crossbody and then hammers her with punches.
Denzel Porter: Finn came ready to bring it tonight as he is going strong with an offensive move set to keep Jacki defending.
Tyler Cage: Great details analysis big dawg but I’m going to keep it simple. The pumpkin princess is in trouble.
Mister Big Ticket: Don't worry Tyler this one is far from over.
Finn then hits a stiff chop across her chest and throws her into the rope and meets her with an European uppercut and then gets her out of the corner with a bulldog. He then walks around the ring as he stalks her, waiting for her to get up. As she gets up on both knees he lays into her with some stiff kicks across the chest and then Finn backs up and delivers a devastating roundhouse kick to the head and then proceeds to roll out the ring and looks under then starts tossing weapons inside the ring like a steel trash can lid, steel chair and then a barbed wire bat.
Denzel Porter: Things are about to get bowling shoe ugly.
Finn rolls back inside the ring but as he does Jackie strikes Finn KING IN THE FACE! WITH A BARBED WIRE BAT!
Tyler Cage: HOLY SHIT! Jackie just fucked his grill up.
Mister Big Ticket: Talk about facial reconstruction!
Finn falls back into the turnbuckle, holding his face. Jackie then took the bat and swung it again, striking Finn in the back with it! The crowd looks stunned for a moment and then lets out cheers. She soon finds herself discarding the bat and instead picks up a bag of thumbtacks and began making a trail of it all around the ring. It took a while for her to make it around the ring. She then catches up to Finn and hits a boot into his back, dropping him down onto the ground. Jackie then reached down and grabbed Finn, locking him into a Camel Clutch! "She increases the pressure on the hold and talk some trash to him as well but soon the strength of Finns resilience would start to show as he powers up and then
FINN FALLS BACK INTO THE THUMBTACKS!
WITH JACKIE STILL ON HIS BACK!
Tyler Cage: Finn just turned Jackie into a voodoo doll!
Mister Big Ticket: The horror on all these folks faces tells you the story.
Jackie begins screaming out in pain, all the tacks piercing her skin! The audience lived for it, continuously pumping the arena with energy. Finn gets back up and starts coughinga bit, fell back into the barricade, and gathered his breath while adorned by the audience. A few slapped his chest, another even offered him a can of beer. He accepted, popped it open, and began drinking it before busting it upside a rising Jackies head! Finn then sends Jackie right into the ring! Finn followed right after, still wiping the blood away from his face. Once in, he heads right for a trash can that housed many weapons of its own.
Denzel Porter: Finn taking advantage of the weapons that we're already placed out for them.
Tyler Cage: Must didn't like those earlier.
Mister Big Ticket: I think Finn just wanted a barbed wire bat at first!
there were a few light fixtures, some barbed kendo, a crowbar, and a goddamn gasoline can! Hell, behind the trash can full of weapons were glass tables already set up! And off to the side, another bag of thumbtacks. Finn looked around at everyone in the audience and somehow got a cheer. He nodded his head and then looked at the bag thumaptacts. So he decided to grab the bag and followed in Jackies footprints! He began sprinkling the thumbtacks around the ring! As he did this though… HE WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND!
Denzel Porter: Finn took his eyes off his opponent too soon.
Tyler Cage: And Jackie made him pay for it.
Mister Big Ticket: Focus!
Finn falls knee-first into the tacks but didn't cry out in pain. Jackie moves to the trashcan full of weapons and reached in and she pulled out a light fixture and that's when she turns right into Finn! JACKIE BREAKS THE LIGHT FIXTURE!
RIGHT OVER THE HEAD OF DAVIS!
Mister Big Ticket: GOD DAMN
Tyler Cage: You can see the shards deep inside his skin. HOLY SHIT!!!
Denzel Porter: This is brutality!
Jackie feels like she's in her element now was absolutely loving it. She then goes to grab one of the glass tables now, pulling it in the middle of the ring. While Finnis beginning to get up off pure instinct. Jackie goes to grab him, lifting him up and pulling him toward the table. She nodded her head to the people now and pointed to her head again. Finn delivers a shot to the gut! Jackies eyes widen but Finn just shoots up quickly! He transitions around to the back of Jackie and locks around her waist. Before you know it, he's lifting her up back over again! GERMAN SUPLEX THROUGH THE GLASS TABLE!
"HOLY SHIT!"
"HOLY SHIT!"
"HOLY SHIT!"
Both competitors are down now for a very long time. The referee begins to check on both of them. Soon enough the competitors begin to recover. Up first is Finn, who's learned to take a weapon or two and keep it pushing. Coming up right after is Jackie who is utilizing the ring ropes into pulling herself up while she stares down Finn with so much hate as she gets into a stand. Both competitors come to a stand at the same time and are both breathing very heavily. They're looking out at the fans now who are applauding both of them for continuing to go on. That's when the both of them turn around to face one another and just paused. These two were at the DPI2. They were fighting over the bragging rights! Both competitors wanted to make this moment last forever. Jackie nodded her head and began talking trash and Finn followed up with the same. Both competitors simultaneously pushed off the ring ropes and walked forward to one another. They were in the middle of the ring trash-talking now. Their heads were touching one another! It was getting heated!
Denzel Porter: About to come down to who wants it more.
JACKIE THREW THE FIRST PUNCH!
FINN FOLLOWED UP WITH HIS OWN!
JACKIE IS BACK WITH ANOTHER!
Tyler Cage: Fight forever!!!!
Mister Big Ticket: And that they shall
Both begin going crazy at one another! It was an assault on the warriors! What started out simply Hardcore had now transformed into classic violence! Finn began getting the upper hand and soon forced Jackie back into the ring ropes. There, he forced her off with an IRISH WHIP! He followed up after her fast though! Catching Jackie with an elbow to the face! She hit the canvas and popped up almost instantly! Finn continued his assault with a DROPKICK TO THE FACE! Jackie hit the canvas again and this time rolled away to the outside apron. Jackie attempted to pull herself up but was forcibly helped up by Finn who lifted her up and over!
SUPLEX INTO THE THUMBTACKS AND GLASS!
Jackie began flailing like crazy all over the ring in pain and Finn attempted to keep her still when he covered him!
ONE!
TWO!!
KICK OUT!
An arm thrown up, Jackie wasn't ready to give this one up no matter how hurt she felt. Finn nodded and found himself rising to a knee. He smacked Jackie across the face, stood up, and then stomped him in the face! Finn went into the trashcan and retrieved a barbed kendo. He took the kendo and began whacking the hell out of Jackie before tossing it to the side. Still going off the adrenaline this match was giving, Finn began staring at the turnbuckle. He looked at the audience afterward, popping a thumb up, asking if should he go up. He was met with positive reviews before deciding to go climb the turnbuckle with a trash can in hand! It took more than a second but he did it and came to a stand on top of it! Jackie was lifeless in the middle of the ring and Finn began talking shit and was ready!
Top Rope Moonsault with the trash can close to his body!!!
IT CONN-
WAIT A MINUTE!
JACKIE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!
Finn lands directly into the trash can, thumbtacks and glass himself this time around! His chest, arms, and hands become riddled with both of them! Jackie is just hanging onto the bottom ring rope now, unaware of what's transpired. Though, after some time, she became aware and realized it was Finn who was laying now! He rolled over and that's when she took advantage. She shot up and ran toward the opposite ring ropes! She jumped off the middle, bouncing off, and performed her own moonsault… But then Finn gets the knees up and now both competitors are down!!!!
Denzel Porter: This match has been chaotic from the start and now we have nobody moving, both competitors down and out.
Tyler Cage: Who wants it more?
Big Mister Ticket: This going to be a photo finish.
Jackie and Finn now both drag themselves to the ropes and begin pulling themselves up as they both look exhausted from battle. They both look at each other and mouth there words BRING IT BITCH!!!!
Denzel Porter: What a moment!!!
Jackie and Finn charge each other and meet in the center where Jackie tries to deliver a suoerkick but Funn ducks and came delivers a devastating kick of his own to Jackie knee that brings her down to one knee and then Finn backs up and delivers Ｆａｔａｌｉｓｍ!!!
Tyler Cage: That running knee strike just caved in Jackie'sface.
Big Mister Ticket: You can see how brutal the impact is in slow motion.
Jackie crumbles to the mat and lands on top of the broken glass and thumbtacks while Finn wastes no time in hooking both legs as the referee gets in position!

Announcer: Here is your winner by pinfall Finn Kuhn!!!!
Denzel Porter: What a gruesome match these two fighters just put themselves through. My god this was as brutal and violent as advertised and neither one should be ashamed of their performance.
Tyler Cage: No doubt Denz, but the night belongs to Finn Kuhn.
Mister Big Ticket: A mona list masterpiece these competitors just displayed.
Medical staff checks on a bloody and bruised Jackie that's been roller out to the outside for better evaluation.
Finn pulls himself up by the ropes as he looks bloody and sites but also ecstatic at bot only surviving the match but getting the victory as he has the referee raise his hand in front of a sold-out crowd here in Las Vegas.
Match Four
Take it to the streets Last Man Standing Match
Jace Parker Davison vs Jason Cashe
Shifting back to ringside for the next match here in the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The crowd is hot and on their feet ready to see more action from the card here on Night One of the DPI 2. There are various signs and other merchandise waved around throughout the crowd as the cameras pan over. We finally come to rest at the announcer's table where Tyler Cage, Mister Big Ticket, and Denzel Porter himself are ready to call the action coming up in our next match.
Porter: It’s time for our next match of the evening. And I got a feeling that this one will not be for the faint of heart. This match is interesting because it will start inside the ring but can only end outside in the parking lot.
Cage: These two guys have absolutely been going at it on Twitter over the last week or so. I expect that once they’re both out here that all the talking will be done with their fists.
Ticket: This promises to be the most brutal match of the entire evening and I personally cannot wait! This is the Denzel Porter Invitational II and someone is going to end up leaving here and going straight to the emergency room! LET'S GET THIS STARTED!!!
Porter: This crowd is ready. The people watching at home are ready. I’m ready, so let's send it to the ring to get the introductions for this next match underway!
The camera shifts from the announcer’s table over to the center of the ring where the Ring Announcer can be seen standing with a microphone in hand. The Announcer raises the microphone up to their lips and begins to speak.
Ring Announcer: The following contest here on Night One of the Denzel Porter Invitational 2 is a Take it to the Streets match!
The crowd pops over the announcement as the Announcer continues.
Ring Announcer: The match will start inside the ring but can only be won out in the parking lot of the arena. It will be competed under Last Man Standing rules!
Another loud pop from the fans in attendance tonight.
Ticket: I’m so excited!
Ring Announcer: Introducing first…
The hymn-like hum of “READY OR NOT” by The Fugees vibrates through the arena before Lauren Hill soundfully brings in the chorus. Jason Cashe comes out from the back with Josslynn Spencer holding his hand. His eyes are covered by sunglasses. Looking around the arena at the live audience, his eyes stay hidden behind the shades. Taking a long drag off an air joint, Cashe howls up into the sky, a few fans howl with him. Josslynn gives him a 'good game' slap to the butt and they head down to the ring.
Ring Announcer: From Houston, Tejas by way of Decatur, Georgia... A truly Troubled One, they call DiOGee... Representing The XWF… Jaaaassoooon! CAAAASHE!!
Cage: Cashe and Joss are out here ready to wreck shop and light Night One up like it was freshly rolled. If the people at home expect to see some kind of wrestling clinic in this match you’re going to be sadly disappointed. However, if you’re tuning in just to see a dude get pooped on? Then you might be in the right place.
Stopping as the aisle turns to ringside, Cashe drags a foot creating an imaginary line. This is the line where when passed, the talking stops. Giving Josslynn a kiss, she heads around the ring as Cashe steps into a jog, leaping up on the apron onto his left knee.
Porter: Jason Cashe is the current XWF X-treme Champion and Josslyn is the XWF Madness Equatorial Champion. Both are highly successful and two of the most well-known wrestlers in our entire business. It’s a pleasure to have them both here tonight.
He stands, ducking under the top rope to enter the ring. Taking off the sunglasses as he enters, he rushes across the ring and launches them deep into the crowd. Growling a roar to the live audience, showing he was ready to scrap.
Ticket: When Jason Cashe enters the ring you know you’re going to get a hard-hitting match! You know that you’re going to see the unexpected! We’re in for a treat gentlemen!
Ring Announcer: And his opponent…
The lights in the arena go pitch black as the audience is lit up by thousands of lights from phones being held in the air. The big screen lights up as a large skull with a crown on its head appears. Followed by the sound of a voice.
“THE KING… IS HERE!”
The sound of “HAIL TO THE KING” by Avenged Sevenfold blasts from the speaker system. The crowd begins a chorus of boos as smoke begins to build up on stage. Jace Parker Davidson makes his way out through the smoke but he’s not wearing wrestling gear. This will be no wrestling match, this is going to be a fight. Jace soaks in the hatred from the fans while glaring down toward the ring.
Hail to the King
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the King
(Hail, hail, hail)
(The King)
Ring Announcer: From Denver, Colorado, weighing in tonight at 253 lbs. Representing High Octane Wrestling and UPRISING. He is the KING of EVERYTHING... Jaaaccce Paaarrrrkkkkeeer DAAAAVVVVIIIIDSSSSOOON!
There’s a taste of fear (hail, hail, hail)
When the henchmen call (hail, hail, hail)
Iron fist to tame them (hail, hail, hail)
Iron fist to claim it all
Cage: So, I’m just going to come out and say that I don’t know much about this guy at all. I know he owns an LFL team and my team has kicked his team’s ass twice so far. I also know that he has a bit of a shady reputation on Social Media but that’s about it.
Porter: Let me break it down for everyone. Jace Parker Davidson is a Hall of Famer in High Octane Wrestling. He’s the current LSD Champion in that company and the last-ever ICON Champion. He’s undefeated in UPRISING having defeated both Molly Hatchet and Justin York. The man’s resume is impressive but the reason he isn’t more well-known is that he had to retire from the sport for five long years due to a severe neck injury. Tonight could very possibly be his coming out party.
Jace hops around in place on stage before pounding his taped-up fists together. He rolls his neck around a bit before slowly making his way down to the ramp towards the ring. He stops midway down the ramp as Cashe paces around the canvas inside the ring. Jace raises both his arms high into the air but there is no pyro that explodes from the stage. However, something begins to fall from the rafters of the building into the crowd and inside the ring.
Hail to the King
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the King
Hail to the one
Kneel to the crown
Stand in the sun
Hail to the King
(Hail, hail, hail)
Ticket: Are those blue roses?!
Cage: That’s… different but I’m sure that there is some kind of meaning behind this and it seems to be acknowledged by Cashe.
Cashe looks to the rafters and sees the blue roses falling all over the arena. He shakes his head as he leans down and picks one up off of the canvas. Cashe looks down at the blue rose in his hand and then crushes it.
Porter: I don’t know if Cashe is angry about this or not. Indifferent seems to be a better word to use here. I know Davidson mentioned something about blue roses before but seems Cashe is just tired of the antics.
Ticket: Cashe is leaving the ring!
Cashe steps through the ropes and then races his way up to where Davidson is standing on the ramp. The crowd pops loudly as the fight on and both men begin trading clubbing blows back and forth. Josslyn kicks around some of the blue roses on the arena floor and then shouts encouragement toward Cashe. The exchange of fists continues until Cashe hits Davidson with an open chest slap that echoes throughout the building. Davidson recoils from the blow but Cashe grabs a hold of him and runs him spine-first into the barricade.
Cage: Cashe isn’t playing any games tonight! Let’s see how this dude handles the onslaught from a motivated DiOGee!
Davidson arches his back in pain but Cashe grabs a hold of him and runs him spine-first into the other side of the barricade. Davidson hits with a loud thud and then begins to roll his way toward the ring trying to create some space between him and Cashe. Jason gives chase to his opponent as he circles around the ringside area. Davidson goes to throw a punch but Cashe blocks it and gives him a boot to the midsection. Davidson doubles over in pain but Cashe grabs him and hits him with a Russian leg sweep that sends the back of his head bouncing back against the barricade. The move took its toll on both men but Josslyn claps her approval for Cashe’s efforts. Cashe pulls himself up to his feet and then plays to the crowd a bit before hopping up to the ring apron. Davidson begins to stir as Cashe begins to climb the turnbuckle.
Porter: It’s been all Jason Cashe to start this match!
Ticket: Cashe is going to the high-rent district! Could this be a finishing blow this early in the contest?!
Cage: The match can’t end unless they’re both in the parking lot!
Davidson regains a vertical base as Cashe perches himself on the top rope. As Davidson turns around Cashe leaps off the top rope for a cannonball senton but Davidson simply walks out of the danger zone. Cashe crashes and burns down to the arena floor as the crowd boos Davidson. Jace takes a moment to recover from the initial onslaught from Cashe before making his way over to his opponent. Davidson unleashes a series of vicious stomps on Cashe who is still on the arena floor. Davidson gathers Cashe up and then runs him shoulder-first into the steel ring steps. The sound of flesh on metal echoes throughout the building as the steps explode on contact. Davidson doesn’t give Cashe a chance to recover before he grabs him and rolls him into the ring. Davidson slides under the bottom rope and enters the ring behind Cashe.
DING DING!
Porter: We hear the bell because this match had to begin inside the ring. Now that both men have made it inside this thing has officially begun.
Cage: If it was me? While Cashe is down I’d roll him right back out of the ring and book it to that parking lot. That’s where this thing can be won. Anything else is just foreplay.
Cashe makes his way over to the nearest corner and lies against the turnbuckle while holding his shoulder. Davidson is on his feet in the opposite corner and then measures up his opponent. Davidson runs across at full speed and connects with double knees to the head and chest of Cashe in the corner. Cashe’s head snaps back violently as Josslyn starts to pound her hands on the ring apron. Davidson backs away from the corner and then grabs a hold of Cashe. Davidson pulls Cashe up to his knees and then shoves his head between his legs. Davidson grips the waste and then muscles Cashe up into the air. Davidson hits Cashe with a move he calls ‘Long Live The King.’
Ticket: My goodness! What a powerbomb in the corner!!!
Porter: It wasn’t just a powerbomb in the corner. Cashe’s head hit the top turnbuckle pad on the way down with the powerbomb. That was vicious. That was criminal right there.
Cage: Cashe might not be known for his brains but I wouldn’t doubt he has a concussion after that.
Cashe hits the canvas hard as Davidson places his boot on top of Cashe’s chest and poses. There is no referee to be found but the crowd begins counting.

THR--
Cashe rolls his shoulder off the canvas and knocks Davidson’s boot off of him as the crowd cheers.
Porter: A basic sign of disrespect right there and Jason Cashe wasn’t having it.
Ticket: Jason Cashe absorbs punishment like a sponge! You have to wonder if making this a Last Man Standing situation in this match was a bad call or not?!
Davidson gathers up Cashe and then tosses him through the ropes to the outside of the ring. Davidson slides out of the ring and Cashe crawls way over toward the barricade. Cashe grabs a hold of the barricade and begins to pull himself up to his feet as Davidson charges. Davidson hits Cashe with a superkick that sends him up and over the barricade into the crowd. Davidson hops the barricade as the fans begin to circle the two men. Davidson begins to kick at Cashe while talking trash to him. Cashe begins to stagger and make his way through the crowd. Davidson follows after him as Cashe begins to climb a flight of steps in the arena.
Porter: This one has spilled out into the audience and we’ll do our best to keep a cameraman nearby so that you won’t miss any of the action.
Cage: I think Cashe is just playing possum here and leading this guy out towards the parking lot. Whether that turns out to be a good thing or a bad thing is yet to be seen.
Davidson stops Cashe midway up the stairs and then grabs a hold of him. Davidson goes to slam Cashe head-first onto the metal railing on the stairs but Cashe counters with repeated back elbow shots. Davidson loses his grip on Cashe who grabs a hold of his opponent and slams him down head-first onto the metal railing. Davidson’s knees buckle from the impact of the shot as the crowd goes wild.
Ticket: Cashe has busted Davidson wide open!
Cage: And now it’s really a fight!
Cashe pulls Davidson up to his feet as the blood begins to trickle down his face. Cashe gets Davidson in a half nelson hold. He lifts Davidson into the air and then hits him with a half nelson side slam down onto the concrete. Davidson’s body contorts on impact with the concrete as he howls in pain. Cashe pulls himself up to his feet and vibes with the crowd cheering him on before he turns his attention back towards Davidson. Cashe pulls Davidson back up to a vertical base and then begins to slap box the man all the way up to the concourse area of the arena. A cameraman follows behind them so that the fans and the commentators can continue to view the action. Davidson stumbles onto the concourse after a running big boot to the face from Cashe.
Porter: Both men are on the concourse now and the fans out there buying merchandise are getting an up close and personal view of this fight.
Ticket: The longer this thing goes the more blood Davidson is going to lose! Cashe just needs to ride this out to victory!
Cashe walks around the concourse with a bit of swagger and looks over some of the merchandise stands. Cashe finds a merchandise stand that is selling Jace Parker Davidson t-shirts. Cashe holds one into the air and then spits on it. The crowd on the concourse cheer wildly as Cashe begins to wipe his ass with the shirt. Cashe throws the shirt to the ground and then begins to destroy the merchandise stand. The fans begin chanting and cheering Cashe but then Davidson flies in out of nowhere and hits Cashe with a spear that just about cuts him in half.
Cage: Cashe got caught up in the theatrics and that gave Davidson time to get back up and nail him with that spear. A bit of a desperation move if you ask me but it was damn effective!
Porter: I’m telling you this Davidson guy is tough. He’s showing that he can go toe to toe with Jason Cashe here in a match tailor-made for Cashe. I’m not saying we’re about to witness a star in the making but we’re witnessing a star in the making!
Both men are down as the crowd on the concourse continues to hoot and holler. Both Davidson and Cashe stagger back up to their feet at relatively the same time. Cashe charges towards Davidson with a left-armed clothesline but Davidson ducks under it. Davidson grabs a hold of Cashe from behind and then muscles him up and over with a release German suplex. Cashe hits the floor hard on his neck and shoulder but rolls through and staggers up on unsteady legs. Davidson pulls himself up to a vertical base and then charges toward Cashe. Davidson leaps into the air and levels Cashe with a V-Trigger knee strike to the face that sends both men crashing into and through the door of the men’s bathroom.
Ticket: What a sick-looking knee strike to the face! Cashe exploded through that bathroom door!
Porter: Both men went through the door and imagine if you’re in there? Imagine if you’re in one of those stalls trying to handle your business. Hearing that impact would certainly scare the mess out of you!
Davidson gets up to his feet inside the bathroom and then grabs a hold of Cashe off of the floor. Davidson shoves Cashe’s head between his legs and then signals to the cameraman that he’s going to hit Cashe with a Canadian Destroyer. Davidson grips Cashe by the waist but before he can hit the move, Cashe counters with a big back body drop slamming Davidson down onto the bathroom floor. Davidson arches his back in pain on impact and then tries to fight his way back up to his feet. Davidson wobbles onto his feet but Cashe grabs a hold of him from behind. Cashe lifts Davidson up and then brings him back down with a Windmill Backbreaker (Olympic Slam) onto the bathroom floor. Davidson flops around in pain and then begins to crawl on his hands and knees on the bathroom floor. Cashe gets back up to his feet then runs up and gives Davidson a vicious kick to the side of the head.
Cage: I was always told that Jason Cashe did some of his best work in the bathroom but now we’re seeing the proof before our very eyes.
Cashe mounts himself on top of Davidson and begins to hit him with repeated headbutts to the face. The cut on Davidson’s head begins to split open wider until Cashe’s head is covered in Davidson’s blood also. Cashe sits up a little dizzy from all the headbutts but then reaches into a nearby urinal. Cashe takes the urinal cake and shoves it into Davidson’s mouth.
Ticket: That’s just dirty tactics by Jason Cashe!
Porter: Clearly, Jason Cashe just doesn’t give a damn! I mean to shove a urinal cake into another man’s mouth during a match?! They don’t make mouthwash strong enough to kill those types of germs!
Davidson gags, chokes, and then pushes Cashe off of him. Davidson gets up to his hands and knees and spits out the urinal cake onto the floor. Davidson begins to dry heave as Cashe begins laughing out loud. Davidson begins to pull himself up but Cashe comes up from behind and hits him with Bell Clap (Double Ear Slap) that takes him back down to the bathroom floor. Cashe kicks Davidson to the side and then makes his way into one of the stalls inside the bathroom. Cashe reaches down and begins to reach down and relieve himself into the toilet.
Cage: I’ve heard of piss-break matches but never a piss-break during a match.
Ticket: Cashe feels confident that he has this match won and when nature comes calling, Jason Cashe always answers.
Cashe finishes urinating then shakes twice and makes show everything is put back into it’s proper place. Before he can turn around Davidson explodes into the stall and hits Cashe with a chop block to the back of the knee. Cashe crumples down to the bathroom floor holding his knee in pain. Davidson gets up to his knees then grabs a hold of Cashe and repeatedly smashes his skull into the side of the toilet.
Porter: Davidson is trying to murder Jason Cashe with a public restroom toilet!
Cashe is busted open from the repeated shots to the head using the toilet. Davidson pulls himself up to his feet and then looks down at Cashe who flips him the middle finger. Davidson looks down into the used toilet and then grabs a hold of Cashe. Davidson dunks Cashe’s head into the toilet and holds it under the water. Cashe begins to kick his legs and flail his arms as Davidson keeps his head submerged. Cashe begins to fight back with elbows to the ribs of Davidson but JPD hits Cashe with a couple of clubbing blows to the back of the neck. Davidson places his boot down on the back of Cashe’s head and neck keeping his head submerged and looking to drown his opponent.
Cage: Does drowning your opponent in his own piss count as a disqualification in a match with no disqualifications?!
Ticket: Jason Cashe will have a hard time answering a ten count if he’s not alive anymore! It’s a criminal act by Davidson but also a sound strategy, given the situation!
Davidson continues to hold Cashe’s head under the toilet water but in desperation, Cashe punches Davidson below the belt which causes him to hit the bathroom like a sack of potatoes. Cashe raises his head out of the toilet choking and gasping for air as both men take a moment to try and recover. Both Davidson and Cashe come out of the stall and make their way back up to their feet. Cashe charges with another left clothesline but Davidson ducks under it. Cashe’s momentum takes him out of the bathroom as Davidson follows. Cashe turns and charges again but Davidson catches him and hits him with a spinebuster down onto the floor.
Porter: I don’t know how much more either one of these men can take. They might not even make it to the parking lot before this match is over. They are leaving it all out there tonight here in the DPI 2!
Cashe begins to crawl on his hands in and knees on the floor away from Davidson. JPD grabs a hold of Cashe’s bad leg and then lifts it high into the air before slamming it down onto the floor. Cashe screams in agony as he grabs the knee in pain. Davidson begins to stomp away at the knee before cutting the line over where the adult beverages are being served. Davidson snatches a beer away from a fan and uses it to try and wash the taste of urinal cake out of his mouth. Davidson spits out the beer and then tosses the cup away as the fans boo. Davidson turns around but doesn’t realize that Cashe has made his way up to the top of the concession stand. Cashe leaps off and hits Davidson with a front dropkick that sends him sprawling across the concourse floor. Davidson staggers up to his feet and heads out of the double doors to the outside of the arena. Cashe gives chase to Davidson as a cameraman struggles to keep up with the two men.
Ticket: It looks like both men are finally headed out to the parking lot!
Cage: Unless one of them decides to throw the other into oncoming traffic!
Porter: We have a cameraman set up in the parking lot. If that is indeed where they are headed then we’ll have a live feed for everyone to see what goes down!
After a few moments, a bloody Davidson staggers his way onto the parking lot. The entire lot is lit up and a large circle of vehicles is formed. A referee stands in the center of the vehicles as Davidson takes a moment to catch his breath. After a few moments, Davidson wipes the blood from his eyes and straightens up. However, Cashe comes racing in and levels Davidson with a shot to the face.
Cage: Mark Of JASON connects!
Ticket: And just like that the match is over!
Davidson collapses down to the asphalt as the referee steps up and starts a ten count.

Davidson makes it back up to his feet and then stumbles forward to slap the joint out of Cashe’s mouth! The joint goes flying and Cashe is vivid.
Cage: He done fucked up now! You should have just fucking stayed down!
Cashe hits Davidson with a lifting knee to the face that staggers him and then begins biting Davidson on the forehead. Davidson screams in pain as Cashe’s teeth dig into his open wound but out of desperation, Davidson kicks Cashe below the belt. Cashe’s knees buckle as he falls to the asphalt before Davidson grabs a hold of him and slams him head-first onto the hood of one of the cars. Davidson backs away a few steps and then charges forward. Davidson leaps into the air and hits Cashe with a second V-Trigger knee strike that smashes Cashe’s skull into the grill of the car.
Ticket: The sound that Cashe’s skill just made colliding with the grill of that car was absolutely disgusting! But for all the right reasons!
Porter: Davidson is dead set to try and cave in Cashe’s skull here tonight! If his plan was to put his name on the map in this sport then he can consider this mission accomplished! But now can’t he actually beat Jason Cashe in this match?!
Cashe crawls around on his hands and knees absolutely refusing to go down. Davidson gets behind Cashe and measures him up. Davidson charges forward and then levels Cashe with a shot to the back of the head.
Cage: HOLY FUCK CASHE MIGHT BE DEAD!
Porter: He calls that move ‘Off With His Head’ and he just destroyed a prone Jason Cashe!

Davidson grabs a hold of Cashe and then spins him around. Davidson plants a boot to the midsection and then grabs a hold of Cashe. Davidson hooks up Cashe and then tries to lift him into the air for a muscle buster but Cashe fights it. Davidson tries to muscle Cashe up into the air a second time but once again Cashe fights it. Cashe rakes Davidson across the eyes causing him to stagger. Cashe grabs hold of one of the hoods on one of the cars and then lifts it up. Cashe grabs a hold of Davidson and then slams him head-first onto the engine block of the car. Cashe grabs a hold of the hood and begins to slam it down repeatedly on Davidson’s head and neck. After about ten or so shots, Cashe gets tired and then staggers further out into the parking lot.
Ticket: Just where is Cashe going?!
Cage: Knowing Jason Cashe?! He probably has a tank hidden somewhere in that parking lot!
The referee stands there but doesn’t count because Davidson still has his head stuck under the hood of the car. So, technically he’s still upright. After a few moments, the sound of an engine revving can be heard throughout the parking lot. The fans inside the arena cheer wildly as Cashe rides back into the circle of vehicles on a motorcycle.
Porter: Is that a Harley-Davidson motorcycle?!
Ticket: What irony! Cashe brought a Harley-Davidson into this match to take out Davidson!
Cashe stops the motorcycle but continues to rev the engine but Davidson remains under the hood. Cashe gets off the bike and then begins to flip it upside down. Cashe reaches into his pocket and begins to MacGyver to keep the bike running even though it’s flipped upside down. Cashe succeeds and the back wheel continues to spin at a rapid pace. Cashe walks over and retrieves Davidson from under the hood of the car. Cashe begins to talk trash in the face of Davidson and smacks him a few times. Cashe walks Davidson over and begins to try and grind his feet into the spinning back wheel of the bike. Davidson senses the danger and begins to fight for his very life to prevent that from happening.
Cage: The dude’s face is about to be sandblasted off if he’s not careful!
Cashe continues to try and force Davidson’s face down towards the spinning wheel. With the last bit of fight he has left Davidson manages to use his slight strength advantage to tackle Cashe down to the asphalt. Davidson lays in some stiff forearm shots to Cashe then pulls him back up to his feet. Davidson lifts Cashe up to his shoulders and then hits him with a vicious knee shot.
Porter: That move is called ‘Final Judgement’ and Cashe has got to be out cold right now!
The GTS Ura connects and the knee shot to the back of Cashe’s skull connects before he falls down to the asphalt. Davidson, however, doesn’t give the referee a chance to start counting. He grabs a hold of Cashe and then pulls him back up his feet. Davidson under hooks Cashe’s arms and goes for one of his finishers called Unscripted Violence. Cashe blocks it by wrapping his legs around one of Davidson’s. Cashe runs Davidson into the side of one of the cars which makes him lose his grip. Davidson staggers away from the car as Cashe charges with a left-armed clothesline. Davidson ducks it as Cashe stumbles forward. Cashe turns around as Davidson charges and goes for a third V-Trigger knee strike. However, Cashe sidesteps the move and Davidson crashes through the driver’s side window of one of the vehicles knee-first. Cashe runs up behind Davidson and then grabs a hold of him.
Ticket: U.T.I!

The crowd inside the arena explodes with approval as a ‘THIS IS AWESOME!’ chant echoes throughout the building. Davidson and Cashe begin to exchange punches while barely begin able to stand on their feet. Both men get rocked by each blow but continue to fire away. Davidson fires off a haymaker but Cashe ducks it. Davidson staggers forward but Cashe gives him a Wet Willy that causes Davidson to convulse in disgust. Cashe grabs a hold of Davidson and throws him up onto the hood of one of the cars. Cashe climbs up onto the hood of the car before tossing Davidson up onto the roof of the vehicle. Cashe grabs a hold of Davidson and tries to hit him with a tiger suplex off the roof of the vehicle but Davidson counters with elbow shots to the side of the head. Davidson plants a boot to the midsection and then grabs a hold of Cashe.
Porter: UNSCRIPTED VIOLENCE ONTO THE HOOD OF THAT CAR!
The elevated double-arm DDT spikes Cashe head-first down onto the hood of the vehicle leaving a huge dent.
Cashe rolls down the windshield and onto the hood of the car. Davidson gets to his feet and then hops down onto the hood of the vehicle as Cashe tries to pull himself up. Davidson leaps into the air and then.
Porter: BEND THE KNEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD OF THE VEHICLE!
Davidson’s boot drives Cashe face-first through the windshield of the vehicle in a sickening fashion. Cashe’s body twitches involuntarily before going limp.
Cage: I would be mad pissed if that was my whip they just did that to just for the hell of it!
Davidson pulls his boot out of the giant hole in the windshield before grabbing a hold of Cashe. Davidson pulls Cashe out of the mess of the broken windshield and then rolls him off of the hood of the vehicle down onto the asphalt. Davidson slides down and sits down on the end of the hood as the referee begins counting.

DING DING DING!!!
The Bell inside the arena rings as the crowd blows the roof off of the building with boos. Josslyn comes racing out onto the parking lot and falls to her knees to try and check on Cashe who still isn’t moving. The referee raises Davidson’s hand into the air as EMTs rush out onto the parking lot to check on Cashe.
Cage: We didn’t know a lot about Davidson heading into this match but we learned a lot tonight. He did what he said he was going to do. He called out one of the biggest names in our sport and he took him down in a match that favored Cashe from the start.
Ticket: After that performance, I think we all need to start to hail the KING of EVERYTHING! Jace Parker Davidson is a name that should strike fear with all the other top names in this sport!
Davidson slides off of the hood of the vehicle and sits on the ground near Cashe. Davidson reaches into his pocket as Cashe finally begins to move. Davidson pulls out a joint and tosses it over to Cashe. It lands on his chest and Cashe grabs it and places it between his lips. He coughs a bit as Davidson pulls out a lighter. He flicks the flame to life and lights the joint for Cashe before tossing the lighter at him too. Cashe happily smokes his pain away as the EMTs continue to work on him. Davidson pulls himself up to his feet and then staggers off to the entrance of the arena.
Match Five
Standard Singles Match
Lissie Hope vs English
Ring Announcer: The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is brought to you by CU:LT Wrestling!
The thumping synths of “Her” by Megan Thee Stallion reverberates through the arena, as Megan’s voiceover comes over the speakers and the booming bass shakes the seats underneath each audience member. They rise to their feet in anticipation of the arrival of the Action Wrestling and CULT superstar, Lissie Hope!
“I don't care if these bitches don't like me
'Cause, like, I'm pretty as fuck, hahahaha”
The crowd jumps out of their seats as Megan raps the first verse, and the anticipation is growing, and the cheers start to crescendo as it remixes into the chorus.
Finally, the curtains spread and Lissie Hope emerges at the top of the entrance stage, standing for a moment and appreciating all of the cheers from the Las Vegas fans being levied in her direction! But her face is all business, curving into a snarl as she begins her march towards the ring.
Denzel Porter: Here she is, everyone! She graced the DPI last year with a victory over Druscilla White, and though there was a lot of mutual respect between them, this year is a MUCH different story!
Tyler Cage: She looks angrier than she did last year. Someone needs to tell her to smile more.
Denzel Porter: That’s – going to get us a fine. Jesus Christ, Tyler.
Tyler Cage: What? Leave the RBC at home. This is a night of celebration.
Harvey Marx: Do you know her story coming into this, Tyler?
Tyler Cage: None. No idea.
Harvey Marx: There’s so much more to this woman than appealing to your eye, Tyler.
Tyler Cage: Well, good – because she’s not doing a good job of it.
“I ain't scared of shit, man or bitch
To everybody hating, y'all can suck this clit”
She notices signs of support in the front rows, and she acknowledges those young fans with high-fives. She sprints down the ramp, sliding under the bottom rope. She bounces to her feet and raises her arms to the crowd.
Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen... standing 5'5" and weighing 147 pounds… SHE IS “THE DREAMER”… SHE IS "THE HUMAN HIT STICK"... SHE IS THE HEROINE OF ACTION WRESTLING… A CULT WRESTLING ICON… SHE IS… "HER"!
The fans roar with the introduction!
Ring Announcer: SHE IS LISSSSSSIEEEE HOOOOOOPE!
Tyler Cage: Did she pay her for that introduction? Jesus Christ.
Denzel Porter: Lissie Hope is a huge draw, one of the most recognizable faces that travels across the world for these interpromotional showcases. She deserves a load of respect.
Harvey Marx: She’s got a lot going on in her personal life too and could’ve easily backed out of this appearance, but she wanted to give these Las Vegas fans a show. But I know Lissie, I’ve worked with Lissie. She’s my friend. And I know what this match means to her. And Casanova English might have just unleashed a pit bull who’s ready to attack!
She circles the ring wearing a long black leather overcoat. She removes it, revealing a black leather boustier with embedded diamond studs. She has on black leather shorts connected to leather stirrups around her thighs. Leather knee-high boots complete the look.
She stops at the front rows, seeing her boyfriend “Rascal King” Johnny Bacchus watching on. They share a tense moment, speaking low and inaudible to the cameras – Johnny reaches over to wipe the tear coming down her face, but she backs away instinctively and turns her head. Lissie mouths the words “I can’t have you here,” and Johnny says back “I’m not going anywhere.”
Tyler Cage: What’s that about??
Harvey Marx: Johnny is her long-time boyfriend – and from what I have heard, he has gone into some type of business partnership or relationship with the man she’s fighting tonight.
Tyler Cage: Oh that’s awkward.
Harvey Marx: Like I said, maybe you should know a little bit about what’s going on here first.
Tyler Cage: It’s funner this way.
Lissie Hope hands her overcoat to the timekeeper and rolls into the ring to ready herself for the match. Her music fades out.
Ring Announcer: And her opponent…
The lights go dim as the eerie voice of a former member of the notorious Manson Family rings through the arena.
"yeah, I
remember her saying:
I'm already dead... I'm already dead... I'm
already dead..."
Ring Announcer: And making his way to the ring… standing 5’11 and weighing 220 pounds…
The lights flicker revealing Casanova English on the stage as the voice continues.
"You're going to get up and scream. I'm
already dead... I'm already dead... I'm already dead..."
You're
going to get up and-
Burn an x in your head."
Ring Announcer: …from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada… he is the leader of CU:LT Wrestling… he is “THE UNPROFESSIONAL”... he is… CASANOVA ENGLISH!!!
The lights turn back on as Casanova English takes a long drag off his already lit cigarette, his leather jacket hung loosely over his shoulders. He scowls at the crowd before Bash Daddy slowly walks from behind the curtains to join him - the towering man shirtless, wearing black jeans and a leather mask.
Tyler Cage: Here comes Casanova, and he’s not coming alone!
Harvey Marx: Lissie is used to having her back against the wall. Having the entire deck stacked against her. And Casanova has made her life a living hell for an entire year!
Tyler Cage: How?? He gave her a job. He gave her opportunities. It’s not his fault she didn’t cash in on them!
Harvey Marx: It’s entirely his fault, Tyler! Casanova literally came into the ring and cost her the New World Championship!
Tyler Cage: Whatever man. Why are you so up her ass? She must be good on her knees.
Denzel Porter: Boys, boys. Leave it alone. There’s no reason for how vile you’re being.
Tyler Cage: I’m just tired of everyone coddling this girl. She victimizes herself so damn much when she needs to just accept that if everyone you work with can’t stand you… then maybe you’re the problem.
Harvey Marx: You are so out of line.
Tyler Cage: Seriously… what’s your deal? Why does everyone feel the need to protect her?
Harvey Marx: She’s my friend, Tyler. And right now, she might need one.
English and Bash Daddy look at one another and smirk before walking down the ramp slowly. English stops to blow smoke in the general direction of some fans. Bash Daddy walks over to the corner between the guard rails and the ring. English slowly struts up the steps onto the ring apron. He looks over at Johnny Bacchus sitting ringside, giving him a devilish smirk.
Harvey Marx: This is sick. He’s already starting to get in Lissie’s head now.
He hangs his jacket on the turnbuckle before stepping through the second rope. English smirks pulling the cigarette from his lips, he blows a cloud of smoke straight up into the air and tosses his coffin nail into the crowd. English laughs as people move trying to avoid the ember. Bash Daddy glares from the outside at Lissie’s boyfriend Johnny Bacchus seated at ringside, as if to play enforcer in the chance that he decides to come to her aid.
Denzel Porter: We can see how tense it is right now! These two can’t wait to get their hands on one another!
Tyler Cage: And that goof front row, that Johnny guy? What’s his deal? Is he gonna try to get involved here?
Harvey Marx: I know Lissie, and I can assure you that the last thing she wants is for Johnny to get involved. Casanova has already driven a wedge between them – these mind games. This manipulation. But Lissie’s strong enough and her head is clear enough to see through it.
Denzel Porter: Let’s get this going!
DING DING
DING
Lissie Hope stands in the center of the ring, but Casanova English crouches in the corner grinning, as if he’s taunting her to make a move. After a few moments of Hope yelling for Casanova to start the match, Casanova finally pulls himself up. He starts walking slowly to Lissie, but when he’s just within range he shoots in for a double leg takedown. Hope instinctively sprawls back and blocks any further advancement from Casanova. Casanova changes his grip, planting both hands behind one of Hope’s knees, and tries to trip her feet out from under her and looking for a knee lock, but Lissie spins out of it defensively.
Denzel Porter: I’m not sure what Casanova’s angle is here, but it looks like he’s just trying to keep her on the defensive, looking for a quick submission.
Tyler Cage: And now he’s got that festering in her mind, that he’s looking to target her limbs. That’s smart!
Harvey Marx: How is that smart?
Tyler Cage: Because we all know damn well Casanova English is going to switch this up!
Casanova walks slowly over to Lissie and says a few words before crouching back down in the middle of the ring.
Denzel Porter: I’m at a loss for words. I don’t know what’s going on here.
Tyler Cage: Mind games, DP!
Casanova yells a couple more words at Lissie and gets on his knees.
Tyler Cage: What is he saying??
The camera zooms in on his mouth and you can hear him say: “you wanted to play your game. Let’s play your game! But Lissie Hope stays at a distance, not really knowing what Casanova is implying.
Harvey Marx: CU:LT matches are all about brutality and devasation. Weapons and violence. Maybe that’s it?
The camera comes back to Casanova’s grin, and then he screams out: “GET ON YOUR KNEES THE WAY YOU LIKE IT, WHORE!”
Denzel Porter: This is disgusting.
A look of shock and hurt spreads on Lissie’s face as Casanova just heckles her from the ground. But then Lissie charges forward and delivers a bicycle kick right to his face!
Harvey Marx: There we go!
Lissie is like a tiger mauling it’s prey now, dropping right hand after right hand on Casanova’s face! Casanova barely puts up a defense, eating each fist and elbow until the referee finally intervenes, pulling Lissie back before she does something that will get her disqualified!
Harvey Marx: Oh no… I think I know what’s happening. Casanova agreed to a standard match with Lissie, knowing damn well that he can get under her skin enough to make her get angry enough to get herself disqualified.
Denzel Porter: I think you’re right, Harvey. Lissie challenged him to step into her world, and this is how he’s choosing to do it.
Tyler Cage: He’s always one step ahead!
Lissie is frustrated as the referee stands as a buffer, allowing Casanova the time to recover. She’s screaming in his face, telling the referee to move. Casanova spits out of a mouthful of blood, smiling as the frustration in Lissie begins to grow by the second. Lissie furiously charges at Casanova but the referee doesn’t move in time, and the distraction allows English to slip behind her and hit a diving shoulder to her tender knee!
Harvey Marx: That’s the knee she hurt last November! She might not be fully healed!
Casanova slams Lissie facefirst into the canvas, jumps up, and drops a boot stomp right on the back of Lissie’s knee! She immediately curls up on the mat, clutching at her knee, her cheeks flushed red in pain.
Denzel Porter: Oh COME ON!
Tyler Cage: Told you! This is chess!
Harvey MarxL He suckered her in!
Casanova kicks at Lissie and when he gets an opening he locks in a knee bar on the injured knee. Hope reaches desperately for the ropes but they’re too far away. Casanova stands over her, bending the knee across his every few seconds, just toying with her now!
Denzel Porter: This match could be over soon if he decides he wants to lock in his Sharpshooter!
Casanova sees Lissie reaching for the ropes and lets go of the hold. He allows her to crawl a little bit for safety, but then grabs her by the ankle, drags her closer and locks the knee bar in again. Hope immediately grabs the ropes and the ref tells Casanova to break it. Smiling the whole time, Casanova refuses, so the referee starts to count.
1!
2!
3!
4!
5!
But Casanova still won’t break it. The referee tells him he’s counted to five, but Casanova just yells for the referee to disqualify him.
Denzel Porter: Casanova English is just bending all of the rules until they break!
Tyler Cage: This referee won’t dare to rule a DQ now! He knows what’s at stake here!
Harvey Marx: But he was prepared to DQ Lissie for punching with a closed fist! Come on, ref… DO SOMETHING!
Lissie uses the rope to pull herself forward, continuing with the ring skirt until she’s halfway out of the ring, and throwing Casanova off balance enough for her to escape! She crawls towards the barrier, clutching at her knee. Casanova rolls to his feet and heads over to the center of the ring, kneeling down and waiting for Hope to get back in. Hope slowly stumbles to the ring, cautiously sliding in, staring daggers at Casanova. She limps over to him and as Casanova goes for a lariat, but Hope chops him in the chest and carries the momentum of the chop through into a back elbow that lands right in Casanova’ throat. Casanova gasps for air as Hope follows up with more chops. Casanova manages to land a kick in the side of Hope’s knee though, which stops her momentum dead in its tracks.
Denzel Porter: That’s the story right there! Her knee is a liability!
Hope drops to her knees and Casanova grabs a fist of her hair, but Lissie still throws fists at Casanova’s stomach. Casanova uses his clutch of her scalp and drives a knee to the side of the head. Casanova steps back and allows Lissie to pull herself up – but Casanova grabs her leg and drops an elbow down on her knee! Once again, he starts applying pressure with a modified knee bar! Lissie’s shoulders drop to the mat as she’s in agonizing pain! The referee drops beside her –
1-
But this seems to energize Lissie! She kicks out and pushes Casanova off of her. She pushes herself up and Casanova walks right into a short arm lariat that makes the crowd explode!
Harvey Marx: Lissie isn’t done yet! But she has to be careful and not take too much damage to that knee!
Hope goes for English as soon as he’s on his feet, but Casanova lands a powerslam and keeps hold of the leg. He twists her into an STF sort of hold, but instead of grabbing a facelock, Casanova just plants his forearms on Hope’s back, focusing on digging the point of his knee into hers! Hope manages to reverse it rather quickly, though, and locks in a standard STF on Casanova.
Denzel Porter: She’s trying to turn her fortunes quickly!
Harvey Marx: She’s so skilled on the mat!
Casanova starts to slip free of the facelock, so Lissie changes it into a rear naked choke!
Denzel Porter: Her strong biceps are tightening around his neck like a snake slithering around it’s prey!
Tyler Cage: Come on, ref! That’s an illegal choke!
As soon as the hold is cinched in, Casanova pushes up and drops a shoulder to the mat, rolling them both around and jostling himself free of the hold.
Tyler Cage: Since the referee won’t do his damn job, Casanova has to figure out how to get out of that crap himself! Those chokes have no place in this ring!
Harvey Marx: What the HELL are you talking about??
Denzel Porter: Lissie Hope is trying to send him a message now – probably one we can’t repeat on air! And also… you two really need to stop.
Both enemies make it to their feet and Casanova throws his head forward, clipping Lissie on the chin! Lissie is stunned for a split second, and Casanova headbutts her a few more times until Lissie stumbles sideways – and Casanova brutalizes her knee with a vicious cross kick at the joint! Lissie’s knee buckles, sending her off balance and Casanova clotheslines her down the rest of the way. He tries to follow up looking for a two handed choke, but Hope kicks him back, freeing herself. Every time he advances, Hope manages to kick up and block him, and finally Casanova retreats to allow Lissie to get to her feet. Casanova charges, but Hope ducks and sends him face first into the turnbuckle. Hope spins him around and lands a pair of elbows to the side of the head.
Denzel Porter: Lissie is beginning to gain the momentum now!
Lissie rears back and lands a STIFF knee to the midsection. She holds Casanova in place and lands a few more kicks and knees to Casanova’s stomach. Finally she stares him down and just keeps kicking and kneeing him in the stomach. Casanova blocks some of them but most of them land and land hard. The crowd slowly builds into frenzy as Lissie Hope hits a seemingly endless series of kicks and knee strikes to Casanova’s stomach and chest. Eventually there isn’t even a pause between strikes, Hope just wails on him, before finally pulling his head down at the same time she lifts her knee up, hitting him straight in the jaw! Lissie has to back off from exhaustion, and Casanova stays in place for a moment… he gives Lissie a big smile as the blood begins to pour from his mouth… and like a ton of bricks, he crumples to the mat!
Denzel Porter: He was knocked out on his feet! Lissie has to capitalize!
Tyler Cage: HOW WAS THAT NOT A DISQUALIFICATION!
Lissie Hope pulls his leg out of the ropes and practically dives on top of Casanova English to cover…
1!
2!
Casanova kicks out!
Harvey Marx: Close two count there!
Denzel Porter: Lissie needs to stay on him! That was an explosion of offense!
The second Casanova kicks out Lissie climbs on top in a full mount and starts driving fist after fist into his face. At first every punch lands, but after the first flurry Casanova gets his elbows up to block and Hope climbs off. Casanova is barely on his feet and on the move when Lissie Hope explodes with a soccer punt between his legs!
Denzel Porter: OH MY GOD!
Tyler Cage: WHAT THE HELL???
The referee looks absolutely shocked, hands on his head, unsure of what to do!
Harvey Marx: I… I don’t think there’s any rules anymore. I don’t see how the referee stops any of this.
Casanova is coughing and dry heaving while Hope moves in for the kill. She pushes the doubled-over Casanova’s head down in between her thighs and hooks his arms!
Denzel Porter: CROWN OF THORNS! SHE’S GOING FOR IT!
Harvey Marx: This could end it!
But finally, the referee gets his bearings again… and he starts lashing out at Lissie Hope! Reprimanding her for the low blow! He gets in Lissie’s face and starts screaming at her to cut her shit out! The fans respond with boos as Lissie is forced to release Casanova’s underhook!
Denzel Porter: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU CAN’T PICK AND CHOOSE WHEN TO APPLY THE RULES!
Lissie angrily shoulder checks the referee and approaches Casanova again, pulling him back into the Pedigree position one more time! She’s shouting at the referee as she prepares to deliver her finisher, but this distracts her JUST enough for Casanova to back body drop her out of it! Lissie bounces up to her feet and runs at Casanova who catches her and drops her with a spinning sidewalk slam… BUT NO! Lissie stays in control and buries Casanova with her lower body, maintaining a hold of his arm, and she locks on a brutal armbar!
Denzel Porter: Look at his elbow! It’s coming out of the socket!
Harvey Marx: Oh my god, that looks brutal!
Casanova tries to fight out but Lissie wraps her legs tight around his upper body to block it. She almost smirks a little, realizing the end is in sight! But they’re close to the ropes…. And Casanova saves himself by grabbing it! Lissie won’t break it! The referee is screaming at her to break it…. But Lissie is not listening! The referee begins to count for a disqualification!
1!
2!
BUT BASH DADDY JUMPS ON THE RING APRON TO DISTRACT THE REFEREE!
CASANOVA IS SLAPPING HIS HAND ON THE MAT TO TAP OUT, BUT THE REFEREE DOESN’T SEE IT!
JOHNNY BACCUS IS FIGHTING HARD NOT TO LAUNCH HIMSELF OVER THE BARRIER TO INTERJECT!
LISSIE RELEASES THE HOLD IN FRUSTRATION, BEFORE RUNNING AND KNOCKING BASH DADDY OFF THE APRON TO A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!
Lissie screams at Bash Daddy from inside the ring, allowing Casanova to recover! She turns to Casanova and RIGHT into a deep arm drag that he segues it into an armbar. Lissie tries to slip out, but English transitions into a wrist lock. Lissie manages to roll out of it, but right into position to get FLATTENED with the Fameasser!
Tyler Cage: “ENGLISH LESSON” AND A COVER!
1!
2!
Harvey Marx: …not like this.
3–
Denzel Porter: NO! KICK OUT!
Casanova English crawls to the corner and pulls himself up, breathing heavy, stretching out his elbow. Finally, he approaches Lissie who’s struggling to get to all fours. He pulls her head up by the hair and goes for a stiff punch across the cheek, but Lissie blocks it, and desperately shoots a punch to his stomach! It doesn’t land hard though. Casanova just pulls her up to her feet by the hair and keeps his arm extended, as she’s clawing at him from a distance!
Denzel Porter: This is disgusting.
And Casanova just uses Lissie’s own momentum to send her sprawling across the mat by the hair!
Harvey Marx: He’s just trying to humiliate her!
Denzel Porter: I’ve had enough of this.
Casanova English stares down a disheartened and embarrassed Lissie Hope, but Denzel Porter’s voice over the loudspeakers surprises everyone! He’s standing at his desk with a microphone in hand!
Denzel Porter: I’ve watched the fire and intensity of this match, and I don’t think the rules are being applied equally. So I think what I want to see – what these fans want to see – and what these competitors want to see is something different!
Harvey Marx: DP, what are you doing??
All attention is on Denzel Porter right now! Lissie looks at him confused, while Casanova is smiling at the interruption.
Denzel Porter: This is my show, and I’m officially calling an audible. This match… IS NOW NO DISQUALIFICATION!!!
The fans ERUPT with cheers as Denzel has his mic-drop moment! He takes a seat back down at the commentators booth, and Casanova looks at him from inside the ring, very pleased with the decision!
Harvey Marx: DP, was that the wisest choice??
Tyler Cage: These two want to kill each other, let them do it!
Denzel Porter: It was the only choice.
Harvey Marx: I hope you realize what you just did.
Casanova approaches Lissie with caution but Lissie DIVES at him with a burst of energy, tripping out his legs from underneath! She begins a flurry of kicks to Casanova’s neck and chest, stomps on his face and hands as he tries to push himself up! She’s going to town now on Casanova, not letting him have a chance to recover!
Denzel Porter: I know exactly what I was doing.
Harvey Marx: Wait a minute…
Behind the referees back, and unbeknownst to Lissie as she carries on her assault, Bash Daddy is removing the padding off the middle turnbuckle to no one’s knowledge! A big time roundhouse kick sends Casanova sprawling towards the corner with the exposed turnbuckle! Lissie is preparing herself to drive her shoulder into Casanova’s stomach with her Gore-style spear, the #HUMANHITSTICK!
Harvey Marx: Lissie, wait!
Johnny Bacchus is up on his feet outside, trying to get her attention, but she can’t hear him! Lissie charges forward at full speed, somehow forgetting the pain in her knee, and she’s got Casanova in sight! But Casanova MOVES!
Tyler Cage: HEADFIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! FUCKING EL-OH-EL!
Harvey Marx: …I knew it.
Denzel Porter: Oh my God.
Casanova crouches over a nearly knocked out Lissie Hope! Blood begins to trickle down the bridge of her nose! He grabs Lissie’s hurt leg and starts undoing the laces of her boot!
Denzel Porter: What is is he doing??
He unlaces the boot halfway and ties a knot at the boot, tying the rest of the laces around the middle turnbuckle!
Denzel Porter: I do not like the look of this…
The crowd is absolutely shellshocked – you could hear a pin drop in the arena.
Harvey Marx: He’s got her trapped –
Casanova hauls back and kicks her HARD in the knee! Lissie Hope convulses in pain!
Denzel Porter: Dammit, English, stop it!
Casanova barely even pauses, he just slams another boot into her knee, hardly even casting a glance to watch its effect on Lissie!
Harvey Marx: This is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen.
Lissie has tears in her eyes as she claws at the knots, trying to minimize the pain coursing through her body. Casanova bends down to a crouch again, watching her hands shaking, unable to even grip the knots. He then pulls a cigarette and lighter out of his pocket, lighting it up in the middle of the ring. A madman watching his prisoner fight for her safety.
Denzel Porter: This is psychotic! How can he leisurely watch her fight for her freedom, and there he is, puffing smoke in her damn face!
Tyler Cage: You did this, Denzel! This is on you!
Harvey Marx: Don’t do that. Nobody expected this!
Johnny Bacchus is screaming for Lissie to free herself. He tries to jump over the barricade, but Lissie yells at him “NO!” Casanova watches this and smiles, before crouching behind Lissie, making eyes at Johnny in the front rows. Casanova kisses Lissie on the cheek… AND THEN STUBS HIS CIGARETTE ON HER ARM!
Denzel Porter: COME ON!
Lissie cries out in pain as the burn mark appears almost instantly on her flesh! Johnny is halfway over the barricade but Lissie still pleads with him to stay in the seats! Bash Daddy, with an eye on Johnny, takes a knife out of his pocket and cuts her bootlaces free!
Harvey Marx: Was this the plan all along?? Does he even want to win this match, or does he just want to punish her??
Denzel Porter: And he’s doing this in front of her boyfriend! This is sick on so many levels!
Lissie finally realizes she’s free and Casanova reacts just quick enough to catch the elbow Hope throws at him, but Lissie follows up with a modified enziguri that lands right in Casanova’s jaw! Casanova is on the mat and Lissie puts her boot back on, even if the shoelaces are shredded. She shakes out her burned arm, grimacing in pain, before turning her attention back to Casanova. But he’s already in pursuit, a jumping knee to the temple that sends Hope tumbling outside! Casanova watches as she lands just in front of Johnny Bacchus… he lifts her up, holding her head in his hands. Casanova watches as she’s absorbing everything he’s telling her – the camera catches “you’ve got this. You’ve got this.” Casanova smiles and exits the ring, and Lissie runs at Casanova, who sidesteps her and sends her crashing into the steel steps!
Harvey Marx: The beating Lissie is taking tonight… I don’t think she’ll ever be the same again!
Denzel Porter: How can Johnny just sit there and watch this??
Tyler Cage: He’s a coward! She’s a cripple! And Casanova is enjoying every minute of it!
Harvey Marx: Nobody knows Lissie better than Johnny. He knows what she’s capable of. He knows how much punishment she can take. He knows that she can get through this.
Tyler Cage: BS! He’s a LOSER!
Casanova stalks Lissie as she pulls herself up… and Johnny, from his seat, shoves his shoulder to turn them face to face! Johnny is showing a remarkable amount of discipline right now, the anger and intensity in his bones rising with every second. But he doesn’t say a word as Casanova backpedals away from him… AND HE TURNS RIGHT INTO A BIG #HUMANHITSTICK SPEAR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! THE ARENA EXPLODES WITH CHEERS!
Denzel Porter: LISSIE HOPE JUST RAN RIGHT THROUGH HIM!
Harvey Marx: BUT SHE’S COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED! HE’S OUT COLD, BUT SHE NEEDS TO MAKE A COVER!
After precious seconds go by, Lissie finally crawls over to him, draping her arm across his chest! The crowd screams along with each count!
1!
2!
Denzel Porter: THIS IS IT!
3–
Tyler Cage: KICK OUT!
Harvey Marx: SO CLOSE!
Lissie is absolutely exhausted and can barely apply any weight to her knee as she lifts herself up. It appears the adrenaline is gone and the pain is starting to take it’s toll. Lissie slides Casanova into the ring and takes a little too long to get in herself –
Tyler Cage: POWERSLAM!
Casanova catches Lissie through her own momentum and lifts her up into a powerslam, but he doesn’t drop her. Instead, he suddenly gets a grin that could only be described as disconcerting. He heads over to the corner with the exposed turnbuckle –
Denzel Porter: Wait…
Harvey Marx: DON’T DO IT!
He swings her like a ragdoll headfirst into the metal turnbuckle!
Denzel Porter: That’s enough! Just end this already!
Still with her in his arms, he swings her again, face first into the turnbuckle! He lets her go, placing her on her feet, but you can see that all of the lights are out in Lissie Hope. She doesn’t collapse as much as very slowly crumbles onto the mat. Casanova watches with deep satisfaction. He takes a moment to catch his breath before rolling Lissie over and draping an arm over him for the cover.
1.
The count is slow, and the crowd is starting to fade.
2.
Denzel Porter: I can’t believe it’s going to end this way.
3.
Tyler Cage: NO DOUBTER! GO BACK TO ACTION WRESTLING, YOU SCRUB–
Harvey Marx: NO! IT’S NOT OVER!
The referee at the last possible second waves that Lissie Hope got a shoulder up!
Tyler Cage: WHAT???
Denzel Porter: HOW DID SHE GET A SHOULDER UP??
Casanova is caught off guard himself. It’s clearly taking a good deal of effort to keep his surprise internal. The crowd goes insane the second the ref signals that the match isn’t over!
LISSIE!
LISSIE!
LISSIE!
LISSIE!
A grin almost of disbelief emerges on Casanova’s face as he rolls out of the ring. He marches over to the timekeeper and grabs a microphone.
Casanova English: Yeah! Cheer for her! LISSIE! LISSIE! That’s what she wants to hear!
He continues chanting with the crowd as he pulls a chair from the announcing area!
Casanova English: That’s the last thing she’s going to hear.
Mic and chair in hand, Casanova slides back into the ring and stands over the still-down Lissie Hope. He holds the chair up high…
Denzel Porter: That’s enough!
…and unfolds it. He sets it down right in front of Lissie Hope and takes a seat.
Casanova English: You’re a tough bitch, Hope. I’m impressed. I hired you for a reason.
As Hope starts to stir, Casanova lightly taps the microphone on her head.
Casanova English: …but I thought you wanted to kill me. I thought that was the whole point of this… charade. You avenging every bad thing I ever did to you in front of your own fans. I don’t think you ever expected… this to happen.
He takes the chair, still unfolded, and sticks it around Lissie’s hurt knee.
Casanova English: Finally.
Denzel Porter: Oh my god…
Casanova English: The end of Lissie Hope.
HE JUMPS IN THE AIR TO CRASH DOWN ON THE STEEL OF THE CHAIR!
HER KNEE IS IN BETWEEN THE FRAME!
Harvey Marx: Come on, Lissie –
AND SHE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY…
JUST IN TIME!
THE FANS ERUPT WITH CHEERS!
Denzel Porter: She’s free! She’s out of it!
English crashes and burns as he land shard on the steel chair while Lissie Hope recovers and stares daggers into the back of his head and then looks down at the steel chair, he just tried to use to end her with.
Tyler Cage: Hope about to return the favor to English.
She slides the steel chair in the middle of the ring and as English gets up and turns around towards her, Lissie hits up with a kick to the gut and follows up CROWN OF THORNS (Pedigree) RIGHT ON TOP OF THE STEEL CHAIR!!!!!
Mister Big Ticket: HOLY SHIT!!!
Tyler Cage: I think Hope just scrambled his brains!!
She quickly rolls him over and hooks both legs as the referee gets in position.
One….
Two….
Three!!!!
*Bell Rings*
Announcer: Here is your winner by pinfall, LISSIE HOPE!!!!!!
Denzel Porter: WHAT AN INCREDIBLE WIN BY LISSIE HOPE!!!
Tyler Cage: She was a total badass baddie throughout this match and earned this win but English deserves some praise as well for putting up one hell of a fight.
The fans give Lissie cheers as medical rolls English out of the ring. The referee raises Lissie Hope hand in the air as the fans chant her name.
HOPE!!! HOPE!!! HOPE!!!!
She takes a moment to appreciate the cheers and soak in the moment before stepping out of the ring and meeting her boyfriend Johnny by the steel steps, he gives her a big and then take her hand as they walk up the ramp to a standing ovation of cheers.
SEGMENT
Tyler Truex is in the parking lot exciting his car.
Tyler Truex looks into the camera.
Tyler Truex: First off, I am thankful for this opportunity to compete in the Denzel Porter Invitational, tonight. I get a chance to prove that I am a fighting champion all across this business. Tonight, I happen to be defending my 5BW World Championship against none other than, Casey Holliday.
Tyler Sighs..
Tyler Truex: I know she talks a lot of smack, but she has proven that she can back it up too. I am going to be honest here, I think she is my toughest defense yet. It is because I know how good she is. Hell, even she believes her own hype.
Tyler pauses.
Tyler Truex: I know that Casey is going to bring her little friend, Marisol with her to our match. She is going to be in for a rude awakening when she finds out that NOT even having her friend around will STOP me. She should damn well know that if she even bothered to watch me win the 5BW World Championship.
Tyler Truex: I have beaten the odds against Minka and Candice Carter, so, I am good enough to beat the odds again.This time against Casey and Marisol. I may not have anyone out there to have my back, but that has NEVER stopped me. That did not stop me when I won the World Championship. This proves that I do not need anyone “holding my hand”.
Tyler Truex: I NEVER needed the Carter Corporation to help me win the World Championship. I proved that MYSELF when I WON the big one. I did it ON MY OWN. Tonight, I will keep it ON MY OWN!
Tyler Truex: So, It will do her NO good to have Marisol out there holding her hand anyways. When the chips are down, I always find a way to get the job done.
Tyler Truex: Casey, You, on the other hand, are different. I know Marisol will be around. So yes, You have proven time and time again in your matches that you need Marisol to “hold your hand.”
Tyler stops to think about the Social Media talk from Casey.
Tyler Truex: Casey, I see your posts on Social Media. First of all, I have been a fighting champion, I have proven time and time again that I am WILLING to take on everyone who steps up. If you think I am so “fragile” then, why in the HELL am I still in this business? This business is not for the faint at heart, you know. I know that because I have been doing this for so long. If you even bother to take your blinders off for a second, you will see how long I have lasted in this business. I guess I cannot be all that “fragile” huh?. You will see that I am STILL here and STILL going on STRONG!. So Sweetheart, I am stronger than you think I am.
Tyler stops and thinks about how people think comments on Social Media “Bother” him.
Tyler Truex: You know what though? You may think every comment bothers me, but NO comment bothers me. If anything, every comment MOTIVATES me and each and every comment has lit a FIRE under my ass. Yes, I may address comments, that is because they are my reason I do NOT give up and WILL NOT give up.
Tyler Truex: So, Little Girl, If you think the pressure has gotten to me then, you are sadly mistaken. You better THINK again!
Tyler Truex: Casey, All you ever do is cut others down. 5BW does NOT deserve a champion that does nothing but bring others down. 5BW deserves a champion who is actually a good example of a champion. Honey, that is NOT you!
Tyler Truex: I know that I should not talk. I did my fair share of doing wrong Shit, but at least I became a MAN, NOT a “BOY” and OWNED up to my mistakes. I LEARNED from these experiences. I do not think for one second that you will ever learn. Sorry, not sorry, you just do not have it in you.
Tyler Truex: I am SICK of people like you underestimating me. Casey, You DON'T know SHIT about me. I have been through a lot, good and bad in my career. I have been a champion quite a few times, you may think you are better than me, but you really are NOT!
Tyler Truex: My brother and sister gave me a little history lesson about you. Well, before you came to 5BW, You did not make the shows. You are just bitter and angry about that. You brought that bitterness all the way to 5BW. I know for a fact when you got here, you whined and cried about being “screwed over” by the other companies that you were in. After finding out what kind of person you are, I do not blame those said companies for “screwing you over”. I know you brought that shit on yourself. It is not mine or anyone else’s fault that you did not make it in other companies. With your shitty attitude, you will NOT make it here in 5BW either.
Tyler Truex: Casey, I do not think you even know what hard work even is. You are one of those who expect to have shit “Handed to You”. Girl, if you want to beat me for the 5BW World Championship, then you will have to work a lot harder than you think. I am just NOT going to LIE down for you and HAND it over. This will be your first time you will NOT have shit just handed to you.
Tyler starts to show an angry tone in his voice.
Tyler Truex: Casey, You do not understand how HARD I WORKED to get to where I am today. Hell, I do not think you understand the value of hard work. You most likely do not understand what HARD WORK is!
Tyler is sounding more serious.
Tyler Truex: I busted my ass in CKP. I worked my ass off so much that I became the first two time CKP Sportsmanship Champion. I also busted my ass so I can become World Champion. I PAID my dues. Yes, there was a time when I was not wrestling, but I came back stronger and busted my ass more and more. Look at me now! You can say “CKP is dead” until you are blue in the face, but that place built me. To me, CKP Lives on.
Tyler Truex: I even busted my ass when I was a part of the Carter Corporation. In fact, I was at the lowest of lows before the Carter Corporation.. Before I joined The Carter Corporation, I was losing to people like Lacey Moreau, no disrespect there, then I worked so hard and I finally got noticed. That was the main reason I joined The Carter Corporation to begin with. My hard work was starting to pay off when I became the First 5BW Liberty Champion. I won the 2022 5B-Rumble at Night Of Glory. I do regret how I won it, but the fact of the matter is, I STILL WON! Tainted or Not, NO ONE can and will take that accomplishment away from me.
Tyler Truex: So yes, My HARD work PAID OFF, and it will continue to pay off when I beat your ass.
Tyler Truex: Which brings me to this: When I had my first championship match, the TLC match, I did something I regret to this day. I “gave up” what could have been my championship to someone who did not give a shit about me. Then I WOKE the HELL UP! Since then, I have become a DIFFERENT person.
Tyler Truex: So Casey, You are going to find out how much I bust my ass in a business that I love, when you step in the ring with me.
Tyler Truex: So, This “BOY” has BUSTED his ass to win this championship, and he damn well will BUST his ass again to beat you, and walk out of here, still 5BW World Champion. You can put your STOCK into that.
Tyler walks off.
SEGMENT
The show cuts backstage to Casey Holliday who more than anything, is amused as hell. She heard what Tyler Truex had to say a little while ago and it’s clear as day that she’s not letting this bother her at all. She soaks in the words for a bit before she expresses her thoughts.
Casey Holliday: After 15 boring minutes, thank GOD that’s over.
Casey scoffs before she continues.
Casey Holliday: That’s IT, Tyler? That’s ALL you got? I mean, on social media you had MILLIONS of words to type but NOTHING to say! During that interview we had last night, you got SO DESPERATE that you wanted to mudsling about my previous companies and my experiences when I’ve largely left yours alone. It’s so FLATTERING that you care SO MUCH about what I’ve done before 5BW because trust me, it’s quite a bit. I mean, it hasn’t ALWAYS been a smooth ride. Not every experience has been good for me. But, that’s the nature of this business. You know why you try to pour dirt from PRIOR to 5BW? That’s because as far as my 5BW career is concerned, you have NOTHING to pour dirt on because aside from a couple of hiccups, my 5BW career has been basically FLAWLESS! Have you EVER, for a SECOND, asked yourself WHY it’s ME getting this title shot against you? Think of the other possibilities here! Who else does 5BW have to challenge for the title? Luciana Verdoza? PFFT! That bitch is TOO AFRAID of EVER challenging for the title again. Jazmyn Rain? I think she’s too busy being obsessed with luxury shoe brands and ending Luciana’s career. Other possibilities like Amy and Mary Ellen Harrison? Cordelia Clark? Fiona Franklin? Brittani Helms? You’ve beaten them all!
And don’t get me wrong, that’s a FINE collection of names that you’ve beaten…
But they’re not ME!
None of those wrestlers have ever been considered a prodigy of their generation… but I HAVE! You want to pour dirt on my career? The fact of the matter is, you FUCKING IDIOT, I’ve only had ONE real flop of a tenure in a wrestling company. Since this IS the Denzel Porter Invitational, since we ARE open to MANY wrestling companies featuring MANY wrestlers from them, I’ll fucking FLAUNT what I’ve done! You want to be so NEGATIVE about my career, but you want to dismiss my accomplishments. Here, I’ll break them down for you.
Casey pauses as she clears her throat.
Casey Holliday: Supreme Championship Wrestling… OH HI SELENA FROST! How are you? Are you still doing the same old shit you were doing 7 years ago when I first broke into the mainstream with that company? ANYWAY, When I went mainstream for the first time, FIVE MATCHES IN, at the age of 20, I CARRIED an over the hill BITCH nobody remembers and a never-amounted-to-anything ASSHOLE to a Trios tournament victory! THAT is PRODIGIOUS! Nobody so young has accomplished so great in this business BEFORE me… and it hasn’t been done since!
UCI… GOLDEN TICKET WINNER, Rising Stars Champion in my SECOND MATCH, the LONGEST REIGNING, MOST SUCCESSFUL Rising Stars Champion EVER…
Action Wrestling… OH HI LISSIE HOPE! Nice to see you’re on the card tonight in the PERFECT SPOT TOO… BENEATH ME! How’ve you been, bitch? Still running my name through your mouth 4 years later? HEY, why don’t you tell them how in THAT company, I was the most successful, longest reigning UCI champion ever? 245 days! 12 defenses! I RETIRED that title! The UCI LEGACY is MINE! Why don’t you take your shower after your match, sit the fuck down… actually, take several fucking seats, get some popcorn and watch me win my THIRD world title! Bitch…
UWL… anyone from there in this thing too? FIRST FEMALE WORLD CHAMPION… ENOUGH SAID!
I mean, only ONE of those things I just mentioned Tyler, is MORE THAN YOU’VE EVER DONE IN YOUR WHOLE FUCKING CAREER! Those companies I mentioned? You wouldn’t make it in ANY of them!
Yeah, you’ve beaten the odds a lot… but you can only do that SO MUCH! Hell, I think midnight is FINALLY about to strike on YOUR Cinderella ass! I’m NOT the Harrisons, I’m not Minka Carter, I’m not Brittani Helms, I’M BETTER! I don’t need ANYONE to hold my fucking hand. I mean who are YOU to talk? You couldn’t figure out ANYTHING to say about me until your siblings came around and said “hey, here’s some dirt on Casey”. Who’s holding WHOSE hand? How can you NOT be fragile when you were SO DESPERATE to come up with ANYTHING to say about me that you went to the non-5BW stuff? When ANYTHING I say about you, you take it up the ass and CRY about it on efedder? You’re FUCKING RIGHT I cut other people down because I HAVE THAT RIGHT! I mean… that’s still a better champion for 5BW then someone who is an AW SHUCKS COUNTRY BOY that gets offended over EVERY LITTLE THING! I understand that Minka was a hard act to follow, but you couldn’t have come CLOSE to her no matter what you did.
You know those GOOD OL BOY champions that Minka once rallied against? The title has gone BACK to that nonsense! The title has REGRESSED because of you! Well, it’s time to turn that around and make some FUCKING PROGRESS AGAIN! “YOU DON’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT ME”... but you’re shooting off at the mouth trying to use my non-5BW experiences against me when you could NEVER know the whole story. That’s how I know I’ve got you beat, because if you run out of things to say about me, then you’re going to run out of ways you think you can beat me. I mean… you’re so desperate that you bring up my last company and how I am so “BITTER” about that. Like…
When was the last time I even brought them up? Honestly? Like 10 months ago when I first arrived in 5BW? OLD NEWS, Tyler, just like your title reign. I mean, to FURTHER highlight your hypocrisy about how “I don’t know shit about you” yet you turn around and try to talk shit about shit you know NOTHING about, you’re even trying to say that I “DIDN’T MAKE IT IN THESE OTHER COMPANIES”
Casey just stops and has a huge laugh to herself.
Casey Holliday: Please rewind to earlier in this promo… I mean… the way I see it, if you’ve won ONE championship in that company, you made it in that company. There was only ONE where I can say it didn’t work out for me and I’m not about to give them any attention other than to say I turned around the SHIT that I went through there, when I came here, to put myself in THIS position! It’s funny because you don’t like people doubting you and talking down to you yet there you are saying I “didn’t make it in the other companies” and that I “won’t make it in 5BW”.
Pot. Calling. Kettle. Black.
And unlike you, I am using that idiom correctly! Oh and SPEAKING OF “you don’t know shit about me”... I have NEVER been handed ANYTHING in my career and yet, there you are saying that for the first time in my career, nobody will hand me anything. Hey fuck boy, nobody ever handed me the two world championships I already have under my name. Nobody handed me the Golden Ticket briefcase I had in UCI. Nobody handed me that Trios tournament contract I won in SCW… say it with me now… ONLY FIVE MATCHES INTO MY MAINSTREAM CAREER! I have the attitude that I have because I’ve EARNED IT! You are simply outclassed BOY! Don’t believe me? This “hype battle” we’ve had is a microcosm of what it’s going to be. Tyler, I am SHOCKED that for someone that is a world champion, especially someone who has been 5BW World Champion for the last four months, you clearly show TOTAL INEPTITUDE of the first rule of being a champion:
KNOW YOUR OPPONENT!
I mean HONESTLY…
You’re LUCKY I am not petty enough to have my lawyers sue you for defamation of character with all the lies, false assumptions and stretched truths you made about me.
Let me repeat the first rule of being a champion…
KNOW! YOUR! OPPONENT!
And it’s clear as fucking day that you DON’T…
I’m about to regain and realize my destiny as the prodigy of my generation, the wrestler of the 2020’s, THE reason why those remote controls that changed the channel during your title reign are going to be stopping on the Splat network when Warhandle and Festivus are on…
HATERS! GONNA! HATE!
Casey scoffs once more as she turns and heads out of the scene. Her confidence is clearly front and center as the scene ends.
Match Six
5BW Championship
Standard Singles Match
Tyler Truex vs Casey Holiday
Denzel Porter: Folks, we have a HUGE Championship match coming from Five Boroughs Wrestling and it’s for their WORLD Championship!
Mister Big Ticket: Let’s see how 5BW fairs tonight!
Tyler Cage: And see how they live up to their hype!
“The following contest is a Five Boroughs Wrestling Presentation and it’s for the Five Boroughs Wrestling World Championship!”
The fans are cheering for this as this is now the second time that the championship will be defended on a special show OUTSIDE of Five Boroughs Wrestling. The first time was last year when Minka Carter defeated Ariel Madden for the championship at Total Ambition.
Smackdown by Thousand Foot Krutch kicks in. The fans are booing for this as Casey Holliday comes out of the back and eyes the fans that are booing at her. She walks to the ring with a serious look on her face with everyone flipping her off. Casey barks at one of them and mentions that she’s going to defeat their beloved champion. Casey gets in and eyes the fans that are booing at her. She stands in the corner and waits for Tyler to come down.
Denzel Porter: Casey Holliday is looking very, and I mean VERY confident in this championship match! She has been on a roll since she debuted last May for the Ann Cup!
Tyler Cage: My Money is going to be on her! She WANTS to win this.
Mister Big Ticket: We are going to see how BADLY she wants this!
(71) The Ones That Like Me - YouTube
The ones that like Me by Brantley Gilbert play as the fans are cheering for this. We see Tyler Truex come out of the back with the 5BW World Championship around him. He takes it off and walks to the ring with the title in the air, still not taking his eye off the challenger. Tyler rolls into the ring, walks up to Casey and yells at her before the referee takes them apart as introductions are about to begin.
Tyler Cage: I personally, and I mean this when I say it, Tyler doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing!
Mister Big Ticket; I dom’t think he’s going to cut it tonight! Casey is too strong for him!
“Introducing first, from Bellevue, Washington, and weighing in at 125 Pounds, Casey Holliday!”
The fans are booing at her as she raises her arms in the air, yelling at the crowd as they are booing at her. Tyler props his belt on the shoulder and does not keep his eyes off of her.
“Her opponent, he is the reigning 5BW World Champion, and weighing in at 145 pounds, from Kannapolis, North Carolina, Tyler Tru-”
Denzel Porter: AND RIGHT AWAY, CASEY HOLLIDAY GOES FOR THE ATTACK!
Tyler Cage: I knew it! I knew this was going to happen!
Tyler does not get the full introduction as Casey Holliday attacks him from behind. The fans are booing for this as she begins to kick him down in the ring. The referee tells her to stop, but she does not want to let up. Casey picks him up and tosses him out of the ring. She comes up and throws him into the announcers table. She gets on top of it and yells to the fans that are booing at her. The match hasn’t even started yet and Tyler is already in trouble.
Mister Big Ticket: This match is not going to go Tyler’s way!
Tyler Cage: And that attack JUST proved it!
She grabs Tyler and tosses him back in the ring and goes in along with her. Finally, the bell gets called.
DING DING
Denzel Porter: AND HERE WE GO!
Casey kicks Tyler right in the side while yelling that she is going to defeat him and EMBARRASS the hell out of him, but Tyler gets back to his feet and takes her down with a wicked clothesline that nearly knocks her off. Tyler picks her up and throws her into the corner and starts letting off a series of chops. He lights her up like the Vegas night as the fans start getting behind him. Tyler takes a step back, darts at her for a Stinger Splash, but Casey moves out of the way, causing him to go chest first! Tyler holds his chest, but Casey comes up behind him with a missile drop kick and again, causes him to go into the turnbuckle and fall over. Casey stands over him and mocks him, stating that she is going to take EVERYTHING FROM HIM!
Tyler Cage: She means it! She’s going to take EVERYTHING away from him!
She picks him up from the ground and goes for a Front Russian Leg Sweep. Tyler blocks it and goes for a Russian Leg sweep of his own onto the ground. The fans are cheering as again, he picks her back up and throws her into the corner. He again goes to attempt the stinger splash and it connects this time. Casey comes out of the corner with Tyler going for a Spinning heel kick that knocks Casey right out of the ring. Casey falls onto the ground. He eyes the Vegas Crowd that is cheering for him and goes up top.
Denzel Porter: The champion is going up top!
Mr. Big Ticket: This might be risky for the champion!
He sees Casey standing up, and he is not afraid of risking it all. He jumps and lands on her for a crossbody! The fans cheer as it connects. Tyler stands up and grabs Casey again and puts him under her. He lifts her up and is about to throw her into the crowd. At Full Speed, he does it and Casey lands into the crowd!
Denzel Porter: The risk has paid off, Tyler is back in this AND the fight is in the crowd!
Tyler Cage: This is going to be VERY INTERESTING THIS FIGHT!
Tyler stands up and looks at the fans that are still cheering for him. He looks at Casey and sees her holding onto the chair. Tyler dives off the barricade with a missile drop kick and KICKS her, causing her to land into the chairs! Tyler takes a step back and goes to run at her, but she again, moves out of the way. Tyler, however puts the brakes on, turns, only to get kicked right in the face with a superkick from Casey!
Mister Big Ticket: WHAT a shot from the challenger!
Tyler falls down, causing Casey to grab him and bring him back into the ring. The fans are now booing as she tosses him over the railing and back into the ring. Tyler is crawling on his feet with Casey coming right after him and grabbing him for a release German Suplex! Tyler lands with Casey rolling him over and going for the three count.
Denzel Porter: First fall of this match up!
One….
Two..
Tyler kicks out of it!
Mister Big Ticket: The champion kicks out!
Casey steps back up, grabs him and mocks at him before going for a DDT! Tyler again lands on the ground and Casey again goes for another pin.
One….
Two…
Tyler again kicks out of it!
Tyler Cage: I am going to take back what I said before, he’s fighting to retain the championship!
Casey slams her and yells that he has a lot of nerve. She walks around before catching her breath, only for this time around, Tyler comes back up and CLIPS her with a HUGE spear!
Denzel Porter: SPEAR FROM TYLER TRUEX!
The fans are cheering for this as this just knocked the wind out of Casey Holliday! Tyler yells that he is about to end her off and RETAIN his championship from her! Tyler picks her up and goes for the Ty-Lock, but Casey is trying her best to get out of it! The fans are cheering for Tyler to break her in half! Casey is smart enough and goes to get out of it by rolling out of it! Tyler stops…..
CASEY GRABS HIM AND GOES FOR THE STOCK PLUNGE FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!
Tyler Cage: STOCK PLUNGE!
Mister Big Ticket: This could be over!
Tyler goes down as the fans are holding their heads. They want him to kick out Casey going for the cover….
One….
Two..
Tyler kicks out of it!
Denzel Porter: Tyler Truex is STILL IN THIS MATCH!
Casey is screaming at how she just had him where she wanted him! Tyler stands back to his feet with the referee still telling Casey he kicked out of it! Casey does not want to hear it, but Tyler comes out of nowhere with the Truex-DT! The fans are cheering as Casey goes down on the ground as. Tyler rolls her over in the ring and pins her…
Tyler Cage: Tyler came out of nowhere with that move!
Mister Big Ticket: Impressive with that!
One…
Two….
CASEY kicks out of it!
Tyler Cage: NOW CASEY KICKS OUT!
The fans are booing as Tyler is holding his face! What more does Tyler have to do to retain his championship? He eyes the top rope and goes up top. If he has to do something huge to end Casey then he will. Tyler is up top, but we see Casey Holiday coming up as well. The both of them are fighting on top of the ropes!
Denzel Porter: This is NOT GOING TO END WELL FOR SOMEONE!
Tyler is getting the best of her and grabs her as he is setting her up for the Truex-DDT! He looks, but Casey gets out of it, grabs him….
AND GOES FOR THE STOCK PLUNGE RIGHT OFF THE ROPES!
Mister Big Ticket: OH MY GOD!
Tyler Cage: It’s over for the champion, IT’s GOING TO BE!
The Las Vegas Crowd is in shock as the both of them are on the ground. Casey and Tyler are both down on the ground with the fans holding her heads. Everyone here doesn’t know what do say or do about this….
Casey is crawling over and lays right on top of Tyler Truex as the referee counts.
Denzel Porter: Casey is over the champion!
One…..
Two….
THREE!!
DING DING!
Tyler Cage: Casey Holliday just made history here in Las Vegas!
The fans are in shock with this as we have a NEW Five Boroughs Wrestling World Champion! Casey Holliday has won the World Championship as she is standing up and let’s out a victory scream.
“Here is your winner and NEW Five Boroughs Wrestling World Champion, Casey Holliday!”
The fans are booing as Smackdown by Thousand Foot Krutch is playing in the arena. She rolls out of the ring and raises the championship up in the air. THe fans are booing at her as she is walking up and yells at Tyler that maybe he wouldn’t be so stupid! Tyler Truex is getting up and looks very upset that his championship regain has come to an end in Las Vegas. He stands up, looks at the fans in disappointment and rolls out of the ring.
Denzel Porter: Folks, that match was very impressive from the Five Boroughs Wrestling promotion. I am in shock that Casey had to go through extreme lengths to win the championship, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Tyler Truex has nothing to be ashamed about with that match. However, Five Boroughs Wrestling is not done yet, Hayley Fien will be challenging for the Splat Multiuniversial Championship as she is looking to dethrone a familiar foe in Crystal Caldwell! Will she do it? We will find out soon enough!
SEGMENT
In the back, we see Hayley Fien standing in front of the Denzel Porter Invitational banner. She’s not smiling and ready for a fight.
Hayley Fien: The time for tweeting and the fighting is OVER! Crystal Caldwell, Hilton, Zndich, whatever name you want to call yourself, it’s finally time to put up or shut up!
She stands there, you can tell there is fury on her face.
Hayley Fien: Ever since you came to Total Ambition and decided to fuck with the wrong person, I couldn’t wait for this day to get here! You go on and on saying that you are going to do everything you can in your power to protect the belt!’
Hayley shakes your head
Hayley Fien: In this case? That’s not going to happen when we face off? I’ve been waiting to have your blood right on my hands for nearly TWO WEEKS! I have waited until this day would come to show how much I despise you! And most importantly, I have waited for this match to come to EMBARASS YOU like I did in the past!
She gets angry
Hayley Fien: Also, another thing, since you brought up Five Boroughs Wrestling’s roster, who had no business being brought up because MOST of them didn’t do anything, all of them want me to kick your ass in the middle of that ring and bring back the title to the company! You brought this all on yourself, Crystal!

Madoka Kawada: The following contest is one fall, and it is for the Splat Multiuniversal Championship! It will be contested under Splat Championship Rules of Engagement. Introducing first, the challenger!
We see Hayley Fien walk down to get ready for her SPLAT! Multiuniversal Championship match. Wearing her signature ring gear along with darker makeup then before, you can see a look of determination and anger on her face. The time for talk is over as she walks up the steps to head out for her championship match.
Bring it on by Memoremains kicks in as the fans let out loud cheers for the challenger. Out comes Hayley Fien, stopping at the top of the ramp to survey the crowd. There are a lot of emotions going into this match. From engagement, being fired, losing to her trainer that she loves and respects, being screwed out of the FIGHT Championship and now leading to this moment, there’s a lot going through the mind of Hayley Fien.
Madoka Kawada: Coming to the ring, hailing from Wildwood, New Jersey. This is Hayley Fien!
She walks down to the ring, not taking the time to acknowledge the fans that are cheering her on. This is personal for her. Hayley gets into the ring and stands in the middle of it, soaking everything in. Her dream could become a reality in a few short minutes. Hayley walks over to the side and waits for Crystal Caldwell.
Madoka Kawada: And her opponent.
The entire arena fades to black as we are left in nothing but darkness. All of a sudden Crystal’s voice can be heard all throughout the speaker systems.
“YOUR SMILE MAKES MY HEART EXPLODE... THANK YOU FOR WAKING ME UP!!!!”
As soon as that is said explosions can be heard going off as we are treated to some flame pyros.
Madoka Kawada: In her second championship defense, she is the reigning and defending Splat Champion of the Multiverse! This is Crystal Caldwell!
“Smile Bomb” by 17thekid plays across the speakers and it is at that moment when the crimson red haired “Burning Rose” Crystal Caldwell walks from the curtains. She slaps the outstretched hands of fans along the way. She runs up the stairs and walks to the middle of the apron. She flicks her hair before she drops down into a split that gains the pop of the entire crowd. She slides into the ring and as soon as she is inside she kips up to her feet. She removes her Shoto inspired hoodie, hands it off to ringside. She awaits the start of the match.

Skylar Rayner: Welcome to the main event of night one of the Denzel Porter Invitational! The Multiuniversal Championship is on the line tonight as Crystal Caldwell takes on Hayley Fien. Are you ready, Jazmin?
Jazmin Davis: I’m absolutely ready. These two have some history and have met before and Hayley was able to defeat Crystal in that Uprising encounter. Can Crystal get that win back or does Hayley have Crystal’s number?
Skylar Rayner: The referee has sent the two competitors to their corner and the referee is calling for the bell and this match is underway. As the referee reminded them of the rules of the match, they stared daggers at each other.
Jazmin Davis: Both of these wrestlers like to play it by the rules, but there’s something to prove here. Will one of them break?
