LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS NEVADA
Fucking Awesome Wrestling Presents:
FUCKING AWESOME MONDAY NIGHTS
{A video begins to play of two cavemen fighting as a third starts a fire. As the fire grows larger, the two men stop and are transfixed by the light. The scene cuts quickly to the words ‘#TheFireStillBurns’ follows by the Inferno Network logo. Images amidst fire continue to flash across the screen, including shots of Tyson Gregory fighting Adrien Cochrane in #FSociety Wrestling, Ana Valentine standing in a F.A.W ring, the Proving Grounds Wrestling logo, Julian Savell atop a ladder holding the F.A.W Title, Chris Night standing in a luxury box looking down at the ring with Drayton MacPhereson in it, Noah Nakamura holding up the Showcase Championship, Josh Anderson mentoring some students at Anderson Fighting Systems, and then finally a shot of Anastasia Hayden being handed the #FSociety High Roller Championship. The fire overtakes the screen again before going completely black. The following words appear on the screen.}
~~The Inferno Network
Debuts March 15th~~
{One more image of the logo for the Inferno Network is shown before the scene switches again.}
SEGMENT:
{“I’m So Sorry” by Imagine Dragons blares over the PA system in the FAW arena and out walks Chris Night, the owner of #FSociety, who also shares a stake in FAW now as well. He stands at the top of the entrance way in a suit and tie with a smirk on his face as the fans who once loved him now boo him. Chris makes his way down the ramp before sliding into the ring. His music cuts and he waits for the fans boos to die down. Once they do, he raises the microphone up to his mouth and he begins to speak.}
Chris Night: I know you’re all wondering why I’m out here right now. Clearly, you all know by now that I’m invested into Fuckin’ Awesome Wrestling… Literally and figuratively. I want to see this place thrive and I am going to help with that, trust me. This place and #FSociety are going to be the pinnacle of wrestling. While I want to talk about that all day, that’s not why I’m here.
{He pauses to let that sink in as the fans boo him some more. He shrugs and rolls his eyes at the fans before continuing on.}
Chris Night: No, I’m here because there’s a man on this roster who’s posing as something that he’s not. He wants you all to think he’s a good person but he’s actually a selfish piece of shit. I’m talking about the guy who started his current relationship a day after breaking up with Stacy Sterling… And while that woman was still dating me.
{He pauses and shakes his head.}
Chris Night: Some might call me bitter or jealous, even. You can go ahead and say that all you want but none of it is true. No, what I want is the respect that I deserve. Noah Nakamura is a fucking slimeball and the way he did things? It’s something a BOY would do. Not once has he looked me in the eyes and said, ‘I’m sorry, no hard feelings.’ Nope, in fact, him and April have tried to act innocent the entire time, pretending that they’re in the right when I’m the one who was slighted… I’m the one who was disrespected.
{{Chris walks up to the ropes and leans on them, looking up towards the entrance way.}}
Chris Night: And then two weeks ago, after everything that Noah has done so far, he had the AUDACITY to attack me, an authority figure. What’s his punishment for that? He attacked not only a shareholder but someone who was acting as an official. But hey, I’m the bad guy, right? So, Noah, you want a fight? You want to challenge me to a match? Then fine… You’ve got your fucking match… So I can show you how a man gets the job done, BOY!
{{"Rush Rock Remix" by Kidd Russel starts to play as the FAW Showcase Champion, Noah Nakamura walks out onto the stage. Noah is in his ring attire, a black FAW shirt and the Showcase Championship around his waist.}}
Noah Nakamura: Really Chris? That’s the story you want to tell? You want to pretend that Sixx hasn’t apologized for hurting your feelings multiple times? You want to pretend that you didn’t superkick me out of the ring in the middle of the match? That’s fine Chris you can tell whatever story you want.
{{He shakes his head slightly.}}
Noah Nakamura: But all you want is an apology? You want me to say sorry what happened with Sixx? Sure, I’m sorry that she chose me over you. I’m sorry that between the two of us, she favored me so much that she wanted to be with me more than you. But I’m not sorry for what I am going to say next.
{{Noah smirks to Chris.}}
Noah Nakamura: I spoke with Ana Valentine… She chose to make our match? A Showcase Title match. You know what happens with the Showcase Championship matches right? The champion gets to pick the stipulation in the match. And since you just love having your clowns do your dirty work for you… We are going to settle this inside a steel cage.
{{Chris laughs and rolls his eyes.}}
Chris Night: I don't need anyone's help to take you out. It doesn't matter what match it is, I’m going to end you.
{{Chris drops his mic and points at Noah, yelling at him.}}
Singles Match:
Desmond Masters v Coby Quik
Kimberly Humphries: Our opening match tonight was between two young newcomers to Fucking Awesome Wrestling, Desmond Masters and Coby Quick.
Aaron Bass: I don’t like either one of these guys, any way possible they can both lose this match?
Kimberly Humphries: The action starts as both exchanged shots with Coby Quick getting the early advantage.
Aaron Bass: Masters must be some kind of weakling with how those strikes affected him since Quick hits like a bitch.
Kimberly Humphries: Quick stays on the offensive as he hit a big swinging neckbreaker but only gets a one count.
Aaron Bass: Stupid move to make the cover there instead of attacking more, but Quick can be known to get over confident.
Kimberly Humphries: That overconfidence lead to Quick playing to the crowd a bit and Masters nailed him with a Pele kick. But all that did was stagger Quick because as soon as Masters charged in, Quick was able flip Masters over and lock in a cross armbreaker for the submission victory.
Aaron Bass: Fine fine, I’ll admit the Quick had a pretty good showing his first time out but Desmond Masters is going to need to put more work in. It was like he didn’t even show up for this match.
SEGMENT
{Maravilla de Oro is standing by backstage with The Lady Jillian lounging in a chair behind him and his bodyguard Daisuke watching vigilantly in the background.}
Maravilla: The first job of the night is to dispose of Tristen Blake. I’m tired of fighting fact-free, ignorant people that don’t understand the true nature of what they are up against. Over and over, these are the disgraces thrown in my way. I’m not a political man… but it doesn’t shock me when all of the Americans I encounter here play in a make-believe land… and that they also bow to a man who does the same. Face the truth. I have made an impact here. I am someone to be feared. When people listen to me, they prosper. When they fail to earn my respect and try to put on an heir of righteousness, they lose out. Tristen Blake wishes that he was an important man. He looks up to some false idol cousin that means nothing to me. I will bring him back to reality tonight.
{Maravilla shakes his head a few times with disgust.}
Maravilla: Then the focus shifts to Ellie Stokes. Another young, know-nothing little child who embarrassed herself the last time she had anything to say to me. She stole a victory from me not too long ago. It is something I can not forget. I have asked before to have this match made. I stop asking now. I demand it. I take it. I will avenge not getting a victory over her and I will ascend back to the top where I belong.
Gold is coming. Ignorance and youth will not deter me. Nothing will.
{Maravilla steps forward and walks out of the picture as the scene cuts.}
Singles Match:
Maravilla De Oro v Tristen Blake
Kimberly Humphries: Coming up we have another new comer in Tristen Blake taking on the always controversial Maravilla De Oro.
Aaron Bass: This is one of the few times I wish Maravilla buying off his opponent worked since Tristen Blake should be Tristen Bland!
Kimberly Humphries: The bell rang and Maravilla starts off with dropkicking Blake in the knee. He then hit the ropes and leveled Blake with a shining wizard.
Aaron Bass: The most adorable and expensive shining wizard in the word!
Kimberly Humphries: Maravilla continued his attack with a big cannonball senton! De Oro makes the cover but can only get a two count on Blake.
Aaron Bass: Maravilla argued with the referee, I agree that was a slow count.
Kimberly Humphries: But that allowed time for Blake to come back and almost decapitate De Oro with a running big boot! Tristen pulls Maravilla to his feet and drives his small frame into the canvas with a spinebuster!
Aaron Bass: Blake showing that he might be smarter than the average newbie!
Kimberly Humphries: Blake hits a big running leg drop and covered Maravilla De Oro but somehow, De Oro got his foot on the bottom rope. Blake lifts De Oro to the top rope but Lady Jillian got on the apron and yells at the referee.
Aaron Bass: While this is happening, Daisuke, the muscle for Maravilla levels Blake with a double axehandle smash to the back of the head and pushes him towards Maravilla in the corner.
Kimberly Humphries: Maravilla then hooks Blake’s head and drives him down with The Gold Mine Tornado DDT! He makes the cover and gets the win!
Aaron Bass: Told you Tristen Bland should have sold out!
SEGMENT
{The Fucking Awesome camera finds Desmond Masters walking dejectedly in the back, shoulder slumped.}
?: Tough loss out there against Mister Quik. But you are hardly the first.
{Masters stops at the sound of the British accent and finds himself face to face with a small bundle of black and red puffery. Well, face to chest, anyway. Said bundle of red and black puffery seems to be only half of his size.}
Desmond Masters: What?
{The ball of puffery pulls back her hood to reveal platinum hair, black wings, and firedrop eyes that match her lips. Everyone's favorite Fucking Awesome albino herself, the Spoooooooky Vampire of Lacklanland.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: Just a shame to see you fail. That is all.
{Red eyes go wide in shock as she looks over Desmond's shoulder.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: Sweet Mother! Is that Salsa, the Wrestling Bear?!
{Desmond turns in confusion as Sarah points. But as he turns, Sarah leaps forward and drives a knee into his kidney. Without hesitating, Sarah wraps his head in her arm and throws her feet out from underneath her, driving the back of his head into the ground with a reverse DDT. Getting back to her feet, she smirks at the Fucking Awesome camera which is always mysteriously present.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: Hello, Fucking Awesome fans. My name is Sarah Selena Lacklan. And I am your Fucking Awesome Princess.
{She takes her skirts in her hands and delivers a perfect and well-practiced curtsy.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: I am here because I am, as you can imagine, Fucking Awesome. And because I have a need to set a person or two on fire. Miss Scion should consider herself on notice, as she has something I want. And as everyone watching knows, I get what I want.
{She reaches into the folds of a black and red dress lined with diamond dust and pulls out a single match stick. Bending down, she strikes it against Masters' boots and lights the flame. Standing, she holds it between the camera and her face.}
Sarah Selena Lacklan: I choose to ride the flames, dearies. I choose to raze the world. And Miss Scion? Or anyone standing in my way of the Hardcore Fucking Championship? Well...you had better learn to mind the flames.
{She brings those ruby lips together and blows out the match.}
Lilah Wood interviews #1 Contender: Paz Guevara
Lilah Wood sits in front of the FAW background on a high stool, dressed in a pair of black jeans and flowing white top, her long blonde hair loose around her shoulders, she is joined by her first interview of the night, Paz Guevara.
Lilah Wood: So, up first tonight in my interview schedule is Paz here... Since joining the company, would you say that you've made an impact? Do you think you changed people's perception of you from some obnoxious brat with a chip on her shoulder to a legitimate wrestler?
{Paz smiles as she regards Lilah with a shrug.}
Paz Guevara: Nah I'm pretty sure some people still regard me as such. Sort of puts us in the same boat, huh? I can't control what people think of me anymore than you can. So let them perceive whatever they'd like, I'm gonna look out for me regardless.
{Lilah laughs and shakes her head.}
Lilah Wood: Aside from your crybaby boyfriend I don't have that problem, but sure... lets pretend we are in the same boat... you really think you can't control perception? You think that you're NOT responsible for your behavior and actions on your social media accounts? Is that your excuse?
{Paz laughs in response.}
Paz Guevara: No I'm plenty responsible. I just don't care what the public at large thinks of me. Aside from a select few people who are close to me, the rest are free to make assumptions. I own my moments of immaturity and if that's what people want to judge me on, so be it. I've got more important things to focus on.
{Lilah tilts her head slightly with a smirk.}
Lilah Wood: Like your match against Julian Savell for the Fucking Awesome Championship? Are you two actually going to fight or are you going to flirt your way through the match? Because from the casual observer standpoint it looks like you're taking that match as seriously as you do your "perception".
{She uses her hands to make the airquotes. Paz pauses and chews on her thumb, similar to the way Lilah does in most pictures she's taken.}
Paz Guevara: I think flirting would be ideal because I'd most definitely win that contest but I'm pretty sure Julian's been clear about wanting to separate my head from my shoulders. Here's the thing, I'm not going to match Julian when it comes brutality so I need to find a way to at least tilt the playing field a little bit in my direction. If him thinking I'm cute buys me a nano-second before he curb stomps my face then that be precisely the time I need to turn the tide in my favor. It's called, "strategy."
{Paz tosses up air quotes of her own before biting on her finger again. Lilah screws her face up slightly and points at her.}
Lilah Wood: Thats cute, but imitation is flattery so feel free to keep doing it. I'd probably wanna be just like me too if I were you...
{Lilah smiles widely before she clears her throat.}
Lilah Wood: So, you think you're going to walk out of Ides as the new FAW Champion?
{Paz lowers her finger with a smile.}
Paz Guevara: Imitation is flattery but mockery is just plain funny. As for becoming the new FAW Champion at Ides, yeah... I think I have a chance. A damn good one actually. Sure the odds are stacked against me but I'm a rookie who got thrust into the spotlight, might as well make the most of it... and that means walking out as the champ.
{Lilah smirks slightly.}
Lilah Wood: So you're perfectly okay with taking a title because the champ wants to Fuck you? You do know there's a word for that... right?
{Paz's brow furrows.}
Paz Guevara: Are you naturally retarded or do you have to work at it? Seriously, that's Julian Savell who's going to be standing across the ring from me. A recently engaged Julian Savell in fact, if you think for a second that him finding me cute translates to him giving me a win because he wants to sleep with me, then you've obviously been hired to be a tabloid reporter because you know very little about this sport. So why don't you stop wasting everyone's time?
{Lilah laughs softly and rolls her eyes.}
Lilah Wood: Awww was that a nerve? Well boohoo, the fact is you said that your in was him finding you cute, that translates you using your looks to get a win, I mean, that sounds like a whore...
{Paz rolls her eyes in response.}
Paz Guevara: It sounds nothing like being a whore. But you're basic so I can see where you'd make the association. If there's emotion involved in the match, emotion as in Julian actually gives a shit about me instead of seeing me as just another opponent, it may buy me a little wiggle room. Again, that's called strategy or mind games or taking advantage of a situation. There's more to this sport than just sex and violence it just that you're too dim to see what's below the surface. Why? Because you're superficial. Now do you have any intelligent questions that maybe someone else wrote, or are done here?
{Lilah waves a hand out in front of her.}
Lilah Wood: If you wanna run off like your boyfriend did, feel free. But otherwise, next question... Do you really think you're going to go out there and win tonight? Is your victory more important than the boys you claim to care so much for, gaining momentum for the PPV?
{Paz wrinkles her nose, clearing her throat as she turns away from Lilah while mumbling under her breath.}
Paz Guevara: Wasn't aware they served tuna in catering but you wanna brush those chompers. As for tonight, I never said I was walking away with a victory or momentum. I simply said we were going to put on a show for the fans and that maybe I'd plant a few more seeds to get Julian off his game. Stop putting words in my mouth and stop putting whatever it is you just ate in yours.
{Lilah rolls her eyes again and shrugs.}
Lilah Wood: Aw dear seems like little miss princess isn't getting the cowtowing she's used to, but oh well... If you're not going out to,win, what's the point? To make your boyfriend look good because he can't in his own.. To show up the Larouxs because they owned your ass, or prepping more excuses for when Liam and his brother walk away like the little bitches they are, in Liam's case... AGAIN?
{Paz sighs and rubs her temples.}
Paz Guevara: The endless loop of stupidity you're engaging in is tiring. I just told you the point; to put on a show for the fans. Because they're the ones who pay money to see us perform. Put on a show, come out of it in tact for Ides. That's my plan and that's the point because unlike you I'm capable of rational thought.
{Lilah wrinkles her nose up.}
Lilah Wood: Plan is to be an overwhelming disappointment... Got it.
{She smiles at her.}
Lilah Wood: So, when you lose to Julian at Ides, because as you said, you can't measure up... Will you still be such a fucking knowitall or are you planning on finally being humble now that Ana has really made you her win personal plaything?
{Paz traces her finger along Lilah's forehead.}
Paz Guevara: Don't wrinkle your brow like that, you're getting lines. As for being Ana's personal plaything; I've main evented two straight cards and I've got a title shot at Ides where I'll once again be main eventing. So who's playing who exactly?
{Lilah slaps her hand away and smiles.}
Lilah Wood: If I looked like you I wouldn't be giving anyone advice babe, pretty sure Noah Nakamuras leg weighs more than you, pretty pathetic for a wrestler actually... No wonder Liam is so grouchy given what he has to work with.
{Paz closes, staring directly Lilah's eyes.}
Paz Guevara: Careful or may just find out how pathetic I really am. I'm already on Ana's shit list, what do I care if add beating your ass to my list of sins?
{ Lilah laughs and pokes Paz in the chest.}
Lilah Wood: Like you could,
{She flicks her finger against her chest and sits back.}
Lilah Wood: You're a gross example of looks over exceeding talent and an even worse representation of women in general.
{Suddenly Paz lunges forward, as she does Lilah pulls back, jumping off her stool which topples over, Paz is unable to actually grab at her and security floods the room before Paz can do anything, they pull Paz back and Lilah laughs, waving goodbye to Paz as she is dragged out of the room, yelling threats at Lilah; who is clearly a little shaken up, but hides it well.}
Triple Threat:
Ellie Stokes v Typhoid Mary v Cass Baumer
Kimberly Humphries: We now have triple threat action as Fucking Awesome mainstay, Ellie Stokes taking on two newcomers in Cass Baumer and Typhoid Mary LeFever.
Aaron Bass: Okay this is the match I’ve been waiting for Ellie is hot, Cass is sexy and Mary scares me but in the best way possible.
Kimberly Humphries: Baumer and Stokes work together as they double team LeFever and send her out of the ring with a double clothesline.
Aaron Bass: Smart move by them to limit the number of sexy bodies in that ring.
Kimberly Humphries: Cass Baumer shows a slight mean streak as she levels Ellie with a blindsiding elbow shot. Cass then pulls Ellie up and hooks her in a hammerlock she works Ellie in the hold for a moment before twisting it into a short-range lariat.
Aaron Bass: Excellent showing of aggression by Cass… Color me excited!
Kimberly Humphries: Baumer pulls Ellie to her hands and knees and connects with a stiff kick to the midsection of Stokes. Cass took a moment to taunt Ellie as she rolled out of the ring with her arms covering his stomach in pain.
Aaron Bass: But all that did was allow Typhoid Mary the chance to get in the ring and level Cass with a big release German suplex. Mary then shows that scary hot strength of hers by lifting Cass with the greatest of ease and slamming her flat with a big Samoan drop!
Kimberly Humphries: Mary continues the pressure with a series of big elbow drops to the chest of Baumer! LeFever makes the cover and only gets a two count as Ellie Stokes dives to make the break up. Ellie and Mary then exchange strikes as Baumer moves off into the far corner.
Aaron Bass: Love me a nice chick fight Ellie staggers Typhoid Mary with discus forearm and then shows a big amount of strength with an exploder suplex into the turnbuckle! I might need a moment.
Kimberly Humphries: Stokes holds her back for a moment before charging at Cass in the far corner and cannonballs into her. Stokes makes the cover but only gets a two count. She kept the pressure with a Samoan drop of her own. Stokes plays up to the fans for a moment as she made her way to the top rope looking for the Falling Star frog splash but Mary LeFever hits the ropes, leaving Stokes prone on the top turnbuckle.
Aaron Bass: To add insult to it, Typhoid Mary hooks Ellie in her Femme Fatality Muscle Buster and drops Ellie on top of Cass Baumer! I would love to be the meat in that sandwich baby!
Kimberly Humphries: As Baumer rolled out of the ring, LeFever makes the cover on Ellie Stokes and gains the impressive win. Her first in Fucking Awesome Wrestling.
SEGMENT
{The scene cuts to the back where the Fucking Awesome Showcase Champion, Noah Nakamura is stretching out before his match against Kendall Conners. The sounds of footsteps can be heard coming his way as he looks up he sees his girlfriend, April Sixx walking up to him. He smiles warmly as she approaches.}
Noah Nakamura: Here to wish me good luck in my match?
{Sixx hesitates for a moment, a sad smile on her face she lets out a sigh and shakes her head.}
April Sixx: I am so sorry Noah…
{She frowns slightly and folds her arms over her chest, looking down at the floor.}
April Sixx: I never meant for our personal lives to be dragged out in front of the cameras in this way, I am incredibly embarrassed it has come to this, social media is one thing but this is something else… The things that Chris said… I cannot begin to apologize for what has happened tonight.
{She lets out a small sigh, exhaling slowly with it as she keeps her eyes downcast.}
April Sixx: I would understand if you think it best that I do not come to the arena for the shows anymore… I do not want to be a hindrance to your career, or a source of embarrassment for you.
{He wraps her up in his arms and holds her close to him.}
Noah Nakamura: That’s not what I want at all, my love. You not coming to shows anymore means that Chris gets a little win over us. He wants to disrupt our lives as much as he can because he is a sad, small man.
{He brushes away a strand of hair from Sixx’s face.}
Noah Nakamura: You are my good luck charm and I need you here every single time. Sorry you're stuck with me.
{Noah makes a slightly silly face to Sixx. She laughs softly and kisses him quickly, a brief peck on the lips as she feels very aware of the camera on them.}
April Sixx: I am very gladly and willingly stuck. I just… This is not how I wanted these things to go, I do not understand why he feels he must make such a show of things, but I am incredibly grateful that I have my own personal hero right here.
{She smiles again and runs her hand up his back.}
April Sixx: Thank you, for being absolutely incredible through this entire ordeal and I am honored to be here to cheer you on.
{Noah smiles at her.}
Noah Nakamura: The funny thing is he is trying to use this to break us… But it’s only going to make us that much stronger as a couple.
{He kisses her forehead. She nods into his kiss with a small smile.}
April Sixx: This has only reaffirmed for me, that there is no one in this world I could ever even love half as much as I do you.
Noah Nakamura: I love you… Thank you for choosing me.
April Sixx: I would choose you over and over and over again, until the end of time itself.
Singles Match:
Noah Nakamura v Kendall Johnson
Kimberly Humphries: Up next we had one half of Dropkicks and Donuts, Kendall Conners taking on the Fucking Awesome Spotlight Champion, Noah Nakamura in a non title match up.
Aaron Bass: It’s a shame that a sweet piece of tail like Kendall got married. Almost makes me feel bad for checking out that booty of hers… Almost.
Kimberly Humphries: Nakamura and Conners share a handshake to start the match, a great show of sportsmanship.
Aaron Bass: Noah Nakamura is going to need to ditch this whole respect thing if he wants to compete with Chris Night.
Kimberly Humphries: The match started with Nakamura and Conners locking up and Conners getting the early advantage with a side headlock taking Nakamura down, trying to take away his tremendous speed.
Aaron Bass: Smart move by Kendall, it's when Nakamura gets his momentum going that he’s most dangerous.
Kimberly Humphries: Noah was able to work his way back to his feet and break the grip of Conners. Nakamura picked up speed but Kendall Conners nails him with a beautiful dropkick.
Aaron Bass: Kendall Conners making use of some new moves. I have a few I’d like to show her too!
Kimberly Humphries: Kendall kept up her attack with a big DDT but only managed a two count.
Aaron Bass: If I was Noah, I would have let Kendall pin me as long as she wanted!
Kimberly Humphries: Kendall would pulls Nakamura up but he was able to slip behind her wild swing and drop her with a German suplex. Noah takes a step back and superkicks the kneeling Conners and makes the cover.
Aaron Bass: But Kendall shows incredible resolve as she was able to kick out at two!
Kimberly Humphries: Nakamura keeps on Conners though connecting with a roaring elbow laying out flat. Nakamura then went for his Air Nakamura double rotation Moonsault but Conners gets her knees up just in time.
Aaron Bass: That was some instant rejection by Kendall Conners leaving Noah winded!
Kimberly Humphries: Kendall then connected with a shining wizard but only got a two count for her troubles. Conners showed some frustration as she charged at Nakamura but it was for not as Noah just sidesteps her and hits his Front Flip DDT that he calls The Nakamura Special for the win.
Aaron Bass: At least Kendall looked sexy in defeat.
Kimberly Humphries: Nakamura offered a handshake post match that Kendall Conners fully accepted.
Aaron Bass: I would have leveled Nakamura if I were her. Oh well we can see Chris Night do it soon enough.
Lilah Wood Interviews Maddux Kingcade
{Lilah sits in front of the FAW backdrop on a high stool, she looks a little scruffier than before after her tumble with Paz. But she smiles and runs a hand through her long blonde hair as her second guest for the night walks in and takes a seat on the stool beside her.}
Lilah Wood: Thank you for joining me tonight, I'm honestly very honoured that I get to be the person who introduces you in your new role to the wrestling world at large.
{Sitting next to her in dress pants, a blue button down dress shirt and a black vest is Maddux Kingcade. He has his trademark smile on his face.}
Maddux Kingcade: It’s a pleasure being here, Lilah. Been looking forward to this all week.
{Lilah smiles broadly and bites her bottom lip slightly before taping her hands on her thighs.}
Lilah Wood: There's been some huge shake ups for FAW and FSW in general, obviously you're very aware of the Inferno Network and the umbrella we now all fall under, what do you think this is going to mean for the roster members here and for FAW as a whole?
{Maddux smiles.}
Maddux Kingcade: I think it means great things all together. More opportunities and chances for exposure as the two brands unite under the Inferno Network banner. As far as FAW it increases the company's exposure which is always a great thing for everyone involved.
{Lilah nods and smiles again.}
Lilah Wood: No mean questions, I swear, I had to promise I'd be on my best behavior!
{She laughs softly and bites her bottom lip again as Maddux chuckles.}
Lilah Wood: Now you've been some moves behind the scenes as far as the Inferno Network goes, maybe you'd like to reveal your new role under the network to everyone so we can discuss some of the ins and outs surrounding that?
{Maddux Kingcade: Of course, Lilah. I have been appointed as the general manager of what’s now called Proving Grounds Wrestling. Think of it as a development federation for both FAW and FSociety. This is where you will see the best and brightest superstars of tomorrow competing with some of the top stars of today to work their way up the rankings. With me at the helm, wrestling comes first. So, I am really excited to be in charge of that part of the Inferno Network.}
Lilah Wood: So, along with yourself as the General Manager at The Grounds… Congrats by the way.
{She holds out her hand for a high five with a grin, Maddux reaches over and high fives her hand.}
Lilah Wood: There are some new hires into the Inferno Network under The Grounds banner, the first hire being Jasmine Tahi, what exactly is she bringing to the table?
Maddux Kingcade: Well, Jasmine has had years in the social and public relations sector. She’s proven time and time again that she can get the job done despite tough circumstances and is an incredible asset to my team in Proving Grounds Wrestling.
Maddux Kingcade: Well, Jasmine has had years in the social and public relations sector. She’s proven time and time again that she can get the job done despite tough circumstances and is an incredible asset to my team in Proving Grounds Wrestling.
{Lilah smiles sweetly and nods.}
Lilah Wood: And… Vivianna Callaghan? What is she bringing to The Grounds?
{Kingcade chuckles.}
Maddux Kingcade: She brings a willingness to learn and the drive to get the job done. The hires I made were the kind to reflect how I will run Proving Grounds, with fresh faces ready to make an impact and give the fans the best wrestling product we can.
Lilah Wood: Well, it certainly sounds like an amazingly fun and fresh perspective, what can we hope to see from you in the first few weeks as the proverbial doors open and the ball gets rolling?
Maddux Kingcade: I can't let all my plans out for free now can I?
{Maddux chuckles.}
Maddux Kingcade: But I will say that while we are designated as a developmental stage, we are still looking to outshine the “big two”. I'm not going to be happy to sit back and just collect a paycheck. The work we are doing in Proving Grounds, is the work that will make both FAW’s and FSociety’s futures great.
{Lilah smiles and bites her bottom lip.}
Lilah Wood: Well, all I can say is good luck with the opening of Proving Grounds annnnd I hope that when I complete my training you'll have a spot for me?
{She laughs with a shrug of her shoulders. Maddux reaches in his vest pocket and takes out a card and hands it to Lilah.}
Maddux Kingcade: What makes you think we haven't already been watching?
{Maddux smiles confidently to Lilah, as she takes the card and slides it into the pocket of her jeans.}
Hardcore Fucking Championship Match
Ash Scion v Kate Bass
Aaron Bass: And up next we have the Invitational match between our Hardcore Fucking Champion Ash Scion and the Challenger 'Cali' Kate Bass.
Kimberly Humphries: And this match certainly started with a bang, Scion exploded in the ring with a series of hard rights and lefts, obliterating Bass and driving her from the ring, but Kate showed some real ingenuity when she pulled Scion at the ankles and dragged her to the outside, Ash hit the apron hard during the act and all but tumbled to the outside. Both ladies caught their breath before Kate drove her shoulder into the gut of Scion against the rings edge, swinging her via her long red hair into the steel steps with a crash!
Aaron Bass: Kate made the mistake of giving Scion time to recoup when she went off looking for a weapon, as she returned with a chair, the chair was super kicked straight into Kate's face, busting open her lip as some drops of blood fell to the mats and Kate went to her knees, Scion scooped up the chair and brought it down to the back of Kate's neck with an impact heard around the arena.
Kimberly Humphries: And within accordance of the rules, Scion went for a pin right there on the outside, however she only managed a two count before Kate kicked out. Leaving her on the floor, Scion set up a table next to the ring post, dragging Kate over to lie her on it, she then climbed the ring-post and went for a leg crop, but Bass moved at the last moment leaving Scion to crash clean through the table herself!
Aaron Bass: The delectable Miss Bass then took to stomping on the face of Scion, after several hard drops of her boot, Scion's nose busted open with a flood of blood, Kate didn't seem impressed at the state of her boot, dragging it across the mats to clean it before retrieving her chair and swinging, catching Scion's shoulder between the chair and the ring-post as Ash got to her feet.
Kelly Humphries: And what a shot it was! Kate went for a pin of her own among the wreckage of the table but Scion kicked out just before the two count, Kate appeared frustrated as she got to her feet and looked around, allowing Ash time to get to her feet. With momentum out of Nowhere, Ash speared Kate into the security barriers that shook on the impact, she pulled back and dragged Kate back over to the steps, throwing her into them so the steps actually came apart falling in half.
Aaron Bass: But when Ash tried to stomp Kate off half the steps, Bass was ready for her and with a hook of the leg slammed her back first into the steps, going for another pin she barely got a two count before she was violently kicked off, rolling onto the mats and back to her feet, Kate immediately was on Scion now, picking up the other half of the steps and dropping them down onto the gut of Ash Scion!
Kelly Humphries: And it was all over when Kate hit 'Starstruck' onto a waiting chair, hooking the leg for the three count.
Aaron Bass: As Kate was handed the Hardcore Fucking Championship she rolled into the ring and thrust her arms in the air to a thunderous reaction of cheers. Ash Scion got to her feet on the outside and stared down the celebrating Kate, shaking her head slowly.
SEGMENT
Kimberly Humphries: And this match certainly started with a bang, Scion exploded in the ring with a series of hard rights and lefts, obliterating Bass and driving her from the ring, but Kate showed some real ingenuity when she pulled Scion at the ankles and dragged her to the outside, Ash hit the apron hard during the act and all but tumbled to the outside. Both ladies caught their breath before Kate drove her shoulder into the gut of Scion against the rings edge, swinging her via her long red hair into the steel steps with a crash!

{Ana sits in her office backstage at FAW. She runs her fingers through some papers as her office door opens and Chris Night walks in, she looks up at him with a smile. Waving her hand to the chair opposite inviting him to sit, he shakes his head, clearly irritated and Ana sighs, pushing her paperwork to the side she folds her arms over her chest.}
Chris Night: A Championship match… Really?
{Ana shrugs slightly as Chris frowns, a smile playing on her lips as she leans forward on her desk.}
Ana Valentine: Are you complaining about the opportunity I have afforded you Chris?
Chris Night: I'm complaining about you giving Nakamura a clear advantage in this.
Ana Valentine: Allow me to paraphrase you here, but were you not the one who said that wrestlers are what's wrong with wrestling? That it is so very important that we all take responsibility for our actions?
{He goes to interject but she holds up her hand, before continuing.}
Ana Valentine: When Drayton approached me about buying into the Inferno Network, I did so in spite of your involvement, not because of it. I pride myself on my business acumen and the deal was simply too good to pass up, most especially when he allowed me to bring Josh in on things with me…
{She sighs slightly and leans back in her chair.}
Ana Valentine: But, when I did so… I did so on the understanding that nothing between our companies would change, whilst we were previously sister companies, we now all fall under one big Inferno Network umbrella. I for one, understand that this only means growth for the both of us, but let me ask you something…
{Ana looks up at Chris with a wry smile as he folds his arms over his chest.}
Ana Valentine: Do you see me walking into FSociety and making demands? Attacking your wrestlers? Taking over officiating duties only to wreak havoc in your ring?
Chris Night: No but…
Ana Valentine: But nothing. In this capacity, you are a wrestler, one for at least that night, works for me and as such, I expect the same respect from you that I expect from all roster members… Have you yourself not witnessed me punish others for their disrespect? Why should you be any different? You are headlining the FAW Pay Per View event, the first under Inferno Network and you walk in here to complain?
{Ana gets up from her desk, she walks around it and perches on the edge, her hand resting on her bump as she meets his eyes.}
Ana Valentine: You and I, we are going to have to work together. Regardless of any history between us, you're a smart man, surely you can see that a mutual respect and understanding of one another's authority it more important than ego or pomp?
{Chris nods his head slowly, he looks Ana up and down and frowns slightly.}
Chris Night: You’re right, mutual respect is important… and on that understanding, maybe you can tell me how exactly you plan to run this company given your current condition….
{Ana smiles and stands up, linking her arm with Chris she steers him towards the door.}
Ana Valentine: Why don't you and I take a little walk… and discuss this more privately?
MAIN EVENT
Six Person Tornado Tag-Team Match
Cause & Effect and Paz Guevara v Sean & Liam Callaghan and Julian Savell
Kimberly Humphries: Now it’s time for our long awaited main event.
Aaron Bass: You mean it’s time for Julian Savell to destroy Paz Guervara for her blatant disrespect two weeks ago when she pinned him!
Kimberly Humphries: You can’t really blame her for taking advantage of her situation.
Aaron Bass: I can blame her for whatever I want.
Kimberly Humphries: Okay then… Well, all competitors are in the ring… Let’s get this underway!
DING! DING! DING!
{The bell rings and the tornado tag match begins. Liam and Sean charge at Gabriel and Xavier and they all begin to brawl with each other while Julian and Paz stand in opposite corners staring each other down.}
Aaron Bass: Julian is waiting for Paz to attack. He’s possibly playing mindgames with her?
Kimberly Humphries: Or he’s scared of her!
Aaron Bass: Don’t be an idiot!
{Julian and Paz finally charge at each other and the fans go nuts. Julian goes to clothesline Paz but she ducks it and then rolls Julian up with a schoolboy pin and the referee begins the count. 1...2…}
Kimberly Humphries: NO! Kickout!
Aaron Bass: Paz trying to get over on Julian with another roll up! How pathetic!
{Paz and Julian get up and Julian nails Paz in the gut with a knee that takes the breath out of her. Gabriel and Sean, who are fighting on the other side of the ring, spill to the outside, while Liam and Xavier are trading blows before Xavier thumbs Liam in the eye and nails him with a DDT.}
Kimberly Humphries: This tornado tag match is all kinds of hectic!
Aaron Bass: I’m pretty sure that’s why it was booked!
{Julian lifts Paz up in the air and nails her with a suplex. On the outside of the ring, Gabriel whips Sean into the barricade, which Sean crashes into hard. Gabriel pulls a chair out from under the ring and he lines Sean up before swinging but Sean ducks under it and Gabriel slams the chair down on the barricade. Sean snatches the chair from Gabriel’s hands and then drives it into his gut, causing him to keel over. Sean then drives the chair down onto Gabriel’s back multiple times, knocking him down to the ground..}
Kimberly Humphries: And Gabriel looks like he’s out cold! He could be done for!
Aaron Bass: Sean Callaghan needs to turn around because he’s about to be out cold! Here comes Xavier.
{Xavier Laroux is charging at Sean, who turns around with the chair still in hand. Xavier delivers a big boot to the chair in Sean’s hand and it drives into Sean’s face, knocking him out to the ground.}
Aaron Bass: Later Sean! These Callaghan’s aren’t too bad but their love lives drive me nuts!
Kimberly Humphries: They’re just young! Don’t be so harsh! They fight really hard.
Aaron Bass: I guess.
{The action cuts back to the inside where Julian is having his way with Paz by having her in a sleeper hold. She looks like she’s fading but she begins to fight out of it as by throwing elbow shots into Julian’s chest. This allows her to get up and she shoves Julian off of her. Julian hits the ropes and comes back, leveling Paz with a clothesline.}
Aaron Bass: What a move by Julian!
Kimberly: He just took her head off.
{Julian waits for Paz to get up and once she’s up to her knees, he walks up to her and taunts her by doing the ‘suck it’ sign and the fans boo. Paz reacts and throws her arm up in between Julian’s legs, taking him down with a low blow. He holds onto his nuts and drops to his knees.}
Aaron Bass: What!? That’s cheating!
Kimberly Humphries: It’s a tornado tag match! Anything goes!
Aaron Bass: That’s stupid!
{As Julian sits on his knees, Paz lines him up before nailing him with a superkick.}
Aaron Bass: That’s a Gavin Grimes move! Just like that stupid roll up! Lame!
Kimberly Humphries: Clearly she’s a fan.
{Paz goes for the cover. 1...2…}
Aaron Bass: Nope! Kickout!
Kimberly Humphries: Paz looks tired.
{Meanwhile on the outside, Xavier has been trying to help his brother Gabriel up to his feet. And Liam Callaghan is now on the top turnbuckle looking down at Xavier, who’s still helping Gabriel up.}
Kimberly Humphries: Liam is going for something big here!
Aaron Bass: Look out Xavier!!!
{Xavier helps his brother, Gabriel, up off the ground and when the two turn around, Liam does a crossbody off of the top turnbuckle onto the outside and he takes Gabriel and Xavier out and the fans begin to go crazy, cheering “HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!” as the pair of brothers in the match are all down on the outside.}
Kimberly Humphries: Liam just took out the Laroux brothers and now the two teams of rival brothers are all lying out on the outside!
Aaron Bass: Liam is reckless! He just hurt himself doing that! So dumb!
Kimberly Humphries: He sacrificed himself to take out Xavier and Gabriel, I think it was a smart move.
{Back inside the ring, Paz is stalking Julian as he begins to get up. Once he’s up, Paz grabs him from behind and nails a backstabber. Paz then goes for the cover. 1...2...kickout!}
Aaron Bass: Another kickout by Julian!
Kimberly Humphries: Paz is looking great here tonight! She could definitely pick up more momentum here tonight heading into the Ides of March!
Aaron Bass: Don’t be foolish!
{Paz slaps the mat in frustration before stalking Julian again. Julian begins to reach into his tights and he seems to be pulling something out.}
Kimberly Humphries: What the!? Julian just pulled out a small bag from his tights!
Aaron Bass: I wonder how that got there!? So weird!
Kimberly Humphries: Probably because he put it there! He’s up to no good!
{Julian begins to open the bag and pour the contents of it in his hand. As Paz charges him, Julian throws the contents into her face, which is now some kind of white powder and it blinds her.}
Kimberly Humphries: He just blinded Paz with… I’m not sure! Maybe it’s baby powder!?
Aaron Bass: Knowing Julian, it was probably his stash of cocaine!
Kimberly Humphries: You’re probably right.
{Julian gets up as Paz is down on her knees trying to get the white powder out of her eyes. Julian taunts her with a ‘suck it’ chant again before lining her up and superkicking her like she did to him earlier. He then rolls out of the ring.}
Kimberly Humphries: Why isn’t he pinning her?
Aaron Bass: Who knows!
{Julian grabs a chair from under the ring and brings it inside. He then places the chair under Paz’s face as she lies down face down onto it. Julian steps into the corner and waits for her to stir.}
Aaron Bass: Oh I see! He’s going to Unsaved Stomp her down into the chair! I dig it!
Kimberly Humphries: That’s completely uncalled for and not neccessary!
{Before Julian can complete the task at hand, Sean Callaghan rolls into the ring. He takes his boot to the back of Julian’s head with a springboard from the top rope, as Julian goes down, Paz is just coming to and attacks without looking, believing it to be Julian who is still standing over her, she takes Sean down with an unprettier into the waiting chair!!}
Aaron Bass: Uh oh, that’s not exactly looking after your own now is it?
{As Paz rolls back to her feet she realizes what she has done, a look of horror crosses her face but before she can do anything, Julian grabs her by the hair and tosses her over the top rope and crashing onto the mats outside.
Liam scrambles to his feet to try and check on Paz but is immediately met with a hard double spear into the steps, Gabe then pulls him up by the hair and nails him with a belly to belly suplex, keeping him out of the way as Julian exits the ring. Paz is kneeling now on the outside and Julian laughs to himself before backing up a couple of steps, he drags her up, pulling her up onto his shoulders he powerbombs her down onto the barriers, the barrier breaks clean apart on impact and Paz is driven all the way to the hard concrete floor!}
Kelly Humphries: Good god, she is going to feel that in the morning!
Aaron Bass: The switch has flipped for Savell, he is on destroy mode!
{Suddenly the bell starts to ring, Julian straightens up and looks around, as he does so, the LaRouxs get to their feet and all three look up towards the ramp where Robb Hardy is standing at the top, running a hand under his chin clearly calling off the match. Julian and Xavier start to yell something up to Robb who just shrugs at them.}
Aaron Bass: Understandably, Julian and Cause & Effect were unimpressed by the decision to call off the match, but Julian seemed more upset that it was Robb Hardy who made the call…
{Julian snatches a mic from somewhere and walks to the bottom of the ramp, he points up at Robb and shakes his head, laughing slightly.}
Julian Savell: Are you fucking lost Hardy? This isn’t FSociety… Oh wait, you got fired there didn’t you?
{Julian laughs and Robb chuckles with a shake of his head.}
Julian Savell: What the fuck do you think gives you the right to come out here and interfere in our fun?!
{Robb holds up a finger as if telling Julian to wait, as he does the crowd erupts into boos as Ana Valentine steps out onto the ramp with a smirk on her face, she stands beside Robb and leans into him slightly, before turning her head to address Julian via the mic in her hand.}
Ana Valentine: I do.
{Julian looks confused as a smattering of cheers start in the fans, Liam and Sean are both now checking on Paz, who is slowly coming to, but even they look towards the ramp at these words.}
Ana Valentine: As from tonight, until further notice; Robb Hardy is the acting PRESIDENT of Fucking Awesome Wrestling…. The Inferno Network spells change, for all of you and that starts tonight.
{Ana hands the mic back to Robb with a warm smile, before turning her gaze back to the wrestlers and the fans before them.}
Robb Hardy: At Ides, The Callaghans WILL Face Cause & Effect for those Championships - And don’t go getting any ideas boys, because if you get yourselves disqualified again… Those belts will change hands on that disqualification. Kate Bass will defend her newly won Championship against ALL comers in the Hardcore Division in a Hardcore Massacre match!
{The crowd cheers, but Robb holds up a hand, clearly not finished.}
Robb Hardy: Paz, you and Julian will face off for the Fucking Awesome Championship in a Three Stages of Hell match!
{Paz is finally sitting up, looking a little dazed and out of it she stares at Julian who starts to laugh and turns to look at her, before anyone sees it coming, he takes her head off with a God Kick! And the security floods the area to break them up, the Callaghans pinned against what remains of the barrier as Julian back away still laughing and the screen fades out to the FAW and Inferno Network Logos.}
