XPWEW LOCKDOWN 7 (5-23-2020)
XPWEW LOCKDOWN 7 Date: May 23rd, 2020 Location: Rashid Stadium in Dubai, United Arab Emirates Attendance: 38,444 Weather: Sunny near 100 degree temps with lows of 88 Network: FITE TV streaming media $39.99 Running Time: 3 hours & 40 minutes Theme Song(s): "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd, "Come And Get It" by I Prevail
The show starts with a video highlight package of the 6 previous Lockdown events. The footage is narrated by the gravy grizzled voice of Masato Tanaka Clips include: Jake vs Jacques at LD4, Slayer vs Chris Johnson at LD3, Ledge vs The Rock at LD1, Kanye West vs Xtreme Giant LD2, Jake winning the title at LD5, Bryce sitting at the ramp after his loss at LD6
Narration: voiced by Masato Tanaka: Tonight. Lockdown 7. Some rise. Some fall. Man is flawed, Humanity is in peril but when family is all you have. Do you have willpower? Do you have grit? Do you have the energy? How much energy can you tap into to? Make yourself famous. Go big. or Go home.
Shreya Ghoshal performs the “Ishy Bilady” ‘United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪 National Anthem to a chorus of huge fireworks of Red, Green and White embracing the colors of the UAE flag as they rain down majestically over Rashid Stadium gleaming in the orange sunset over the water. Huge pyro over the stadium and even fireworks burst at the tallest building in the world the Burj Khalifa as "Lockdown VII" paints the skyline
A video highlight package is played using the theme song “Blinding Lights by The Weekend” as it touches on Jake vs Slayer, Death Machines vs All Man & All Woman, McGraw vs GT, Jacques vs Jordan, Champagne vs Troy, Doxy vs Prisiclla vs Kiera and then lastly the music changes to serious symphony music as it recaps Ruckus vs Golden Bryce and how important this shot at Lockdown redemption is so important for Bryce and how Ruckus coming out of the trap house to the winning the 2020 Xtreme Rumble is just as important”
We are shown the Lockdown 7 stage and a huge pyrotechnic display is set off as we are introduced to our commentary team for tonight dressed ever so dapper. Kaitlyn Khaos and Nick Simmonds are joined by XPWEW Legend Joey Styles as they introduce us to Lockdown 7: The biggest event in XPWEW history!
Leonard McGraw enters (crowd cheers)
Leonard enters first to a great reaction from the Dubai crowd, Leonard aggressively walks out from the curtain to the huge stage and with a cold thousand mile stare peers with intensity looking through the camera at you at home as he makes thundering steps towards the ring. McGraw is all business avoiding contact from the fans reaching for a high five. McGraw steps in the ring and then runs the ropes hard as he waits for the match against GT that he's been salivating over since February when this rivalry began when Garrett and his partner Ethan Bedlam would attempt to break the arm of McGraw so after many games of cat and mouse it comes to a head tonight. Leonard made his Lockdown debut last year in a win over Jacques Dudley
Garrett Thompson enters (crowd boos) Garrett enters with pyro rain effect behind him as he stands still only to bust out with a burst of energy as he knocks the entrance coat off his shoulders to the ground as he makes a intense long walk to the ring for his 4th match in Lockdown history. It was in 2011 he lost a 3 way between Ruckus and Eddie Edwards, 2012 he would lose in the main event between Jake, Slayer & Chris Johnson and just last year him and Eddie Edwards came up short to the legendary team of Takanaka
Referee Johnathan Chambers has been assigned this match
<<Early on before the ring of the bell Garrett hesitates to even step in the ring because of how intense McGraw is acting jumping and running the ropes like a madman. Referee Johnathan Chambers tries to get McGraw to settle down but McGraw runs around him the GT runs around the ring which becomes a chase, they make 2 laps around the ring, McGraw changes direction and then they both run opposite directions in the ring to which McGraw hits Garrett with a classic Lou Thesz Press and gets some closed fists in as the bell rings. The opening contest is underway. Garrett slows the pace with a sleeper hold to which McGraw slams him into each corner turnbuckles which culminates in Thompson catching himself onto the final post and hitting a huge moonsault which McGraw catches the big man mid-air and hits a devastating pile driver that looked quite dangerous. McGraw stomps a mud hole of Garrett in the corner and gives the middle fingers as a huge tribute to someone familiar? Garrett mounts a comeback when he hits a fallaway slam on McGraw that sends him over the top rope. Garrett jumps off the top rope to the floor and connects a double axe handle and eagerness gets the best of him as he attempts it a second time but McGraw catches him with a devastating lariat-o in mid air that damn near takes Garrett's head off. McGraw gets behind GT and lifts him in a Doomsday Device/Electric Chair position, gets a run and go and hoists him into the front row to which Leonard backs up, and gets a run and go off all 3 commentary desks and goes for a Clothesline From Hell over the barricade onto GT standing dazed in the crowd but in a flash Garrett hits "THE GT!!!" Garrett hits the elbow finisher on a raging bull McGraw and is able to drag him over the guardrail and into the ring but it is only good for a 2 count. Garrett hits Wasteland once rolls him up Samoan Drop style by rolling him right up for another and connects against. Attempts a pin-fall but only gets a close 2 count. Garrett feeling desperate goes up top rope for a moonsault and McGraw lying down below moves away in the knick of time to grab both legs quickly and apply a Boston Crab. Garrett fights away the submission but ultimately after McGraw clenches it in for nearly a whole minute, unable to find the ropes Garrett submits>>
1 on 1 M1: Leonard McGraw defeats Garrett Thompson
Video package airs of Jake Awesome's new series "Captain Falcon" with Jaden Smith and Ron Pearlman now streaming on Netflix! Right now!
Backstage, James Westerbeck interviews Ruckus w/ The Set behind him hyping him up and getting him loose and gassing him up for the biggest match of his career tonight. James: Ruckus, tonight is easily the biggest match of your career, How has your game plan altered since The Set will not be allowed at ringside? Ruckus: Are you serious? The Set grabs Westerbeck by the collar and shoves him out Lexoni: What a dumbass nigga Ruckus: I'm a man who stands ten toes down at all times. The Set is the squad but I can handle that pussy ass bitch myself tonight, thank you very much. drops mic

Referee Xavier Beckham has been assigned this next match
Jacques Dudley enters (crowd cheers) (Press box you see his protegĂŠ Alveno La Flare watching intently knowing this match could have been his spot however Jacques defeated him for this opportunity two week's ago on Friday Night Pyro)
XPWEW Juniorweight Champion Jordan Oliver enters (crowd boos) (accompanied by The Set: Myron Reed, Kotto Brazil & Chrissy Rivera)
James Westerbeck is set to announce both men's names while they stand across from one another in the ring...
Well. Well. Well. (crowd pops) Joel Gertner enters It is I. Joel, from Shanghai to Dubai the ladies unzip my fly to see my third eye. Last name Rivera. First name Chrissy. Missy do you speak carny? Gizzy on your Knizzys and Gargale Mizzy Lockdown Seven, Jordan Oliver how old are you? Eleven? Yo yo yo Kotto, No homo but you look like bozo had sex with hot cocoa. Joel, all these years later still HARDER than the tree that hit Sonny Bono. but Myron Reed, Can you read? I saw your child on I-G but if you ask me that looks more like Jordan Oliver's seed. The Set wants a rep? Bet? You guys aren't even a threat cause none of you can grow a set. Gertner!
<<bell rings. Jacques and Jordan both high rank skilled in the quick pace, catch-as-catch-can department. Oliver and Dudley is truly a game of the veteran and the young cocky kid as they trade holds, lots of monkey flips, hip tosses and under-throws as the match quickly becomes a game of speed which evolves into a sprint of "can you top this?" offensive display. Ultimately The Set's Myron Reed would make his presence known as he aborts a Jacques 630 splash that could have potentially won the match, moments later when Jacques would have the upper hand he instead opts to crash onto a prone Oliver in the ring, chooses to 630 splash onto all of Reed, Brazil and even Chrissy Rivera outside. Oliver hits a wicked buckle bomb on Jacques on the outside that hits the corner ring post. Oliver then hits a version of the 6-1-9 but Jacques moves and Jordan busts his kneecaps on the steel posts. Myron shoves Jacques's lifeless into the ring, then Myron and Chrissy help Oliver to his feet to avoid a countout, with ref Xavier Beckham distracted Kotto Brazil has possesion of the Juniorweight title and hits Jacques in the back of the head knocking him out but in the corner of his eye Beckham catches the illegal shot and then points his finger at Kotto, Kotto pleads for mercy, Myron and Chrissy jump on the apron also pleading with the ref. After the crowd gets sucked in to the moment, Oliver tries to plead as well. Xavier then rejects THE SET from ringside as they all sigh in anger and hopelessness. Jacques hits a big boot, hits a triangle dropkick on Oliver. Jacques teases going to the top rope. Jacques hits the 630 for the close 2 count. Jacques goes to the apron lunging towards Oliver who hits his finisher "The Clout Cutter" mid kip-up to an amazing pop from the crowd. Oliver hooks the leg with swift speed for the 1-2-3 and STILL the XPWEW Juniorweight Champion: Jordan Oliver because he's young, he's dumb and he reps The Set
XPWEW Juniorweight Championship 1 on 1 M2: Jordan Oliver (c) defeats Jacques Dudley
Myron, Kotto and Chrissy come back and help Oliver up the ramp as he retains. Jordan lifts the title triumphantly as he wins his Lockdown debut
Backstage, All Man and All Woman are doing pre-match workouts like jumping jacks and running in place.

Referee Kevin Madrox is assigned this next match
Troy Clausen enters in a baby blue 2021 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Car to the song "Bugatti" by Future (smoke pyrotechnics. car drives slow)
Champagne Clausen enters on a camel being walked by two arabian females only wearing underwear and a hajib
Freight Train lags behind and gets a hug from said arabian girls from Champagne's entrance. Champagne rolls his eyes.
<<Troy tackles Champagne and rains down punches and applies a rare MMA-esque Rear Naked Choke on Champagne that clearly surprised him but Champagne is able to crawl to the turnbuckle and ram Troy's head into the bottom turnbuckle over and over, undoing the bottom turnbuckle exposing the metal and pressing Troy's face up against it. Champagne then searches for plunder underneath the ring and finds a bag of what is presumably thumb tacks, a cookie sheet, duct tape, a steel chair and a kendo stick. Champagne then whacks Troy over and over with the kendo stick as Freight Train winces outside. "This one is for you!" and Troy hits a low blow. Troy sets up the chair in a sitting position irish-whipping Champagne into it, sitting him on it proper in the corner. Troy then grabs the duct tape and wraps it around Champagne's torso taping him to the chair, Troy let's Freight Train continue to wrap the tape. Freight then grabs a long piece for Champagne's mouth but Troy says to wait and grabs the bag of thumb tacks, shoves the tacks down Champagne's mouth and then tapes over his mouth for a gruesome spot. Champagne then grabs the chair to the middle of the ring. Grabs the cookie sheet and nails him over the head knocking Champagne backwards. Troy then goes to the top rope and makes what appears to be a Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka tribute as he leaps and hits a diving crossbody onto Champagne still taped to the chair, with duct-taped tacks in his mouth. The big crossbody breaks the tape off. Champagne recovers first and yanks the tape off and then walks over the apron and spits the tacks in the face of Freight Train who is temporary blinded by that assault. Champagne whacks Freight Train with the kendo stick in the face that bloodies Train, Champagne punches Train over and over at the commentary table leaving blood all over the Indian announce table. Troy in the background quietly goes to the top rope and does another crossbody, this time from the top rope to the commentary table down below, Champagne runs out the scene quick and Troy crashes and burns and big splashes Freight Train through the table and Joey Styles is going crazy the 65 year old Troy Clausen just took that crazy bump from the top rope down to the Indian commentary desk. Champagne then looks under the ring and finds a table and shoves it in the ring and sets it up. Champagne drags life-less Troy from outside to the ring. and has Troy on his shoulders for The Chardonnay but from the back appears Regina Clausen who makes her first appearance since Champagne shoved her in the Clausen-Mobile back in December and pushed her off the Friday Night Pyro set. She comes in and uses mace and sprays it in Champagne's face, blinded but not downed Champagne snatches her up and hits a spinebuster on her through the table. Troy latches on a sleeper hold from behind, still blinded Champagne tries not to fade away, he blindly reaches for the nearby ropes once he finds them, he grabs a tight grip of the top rope and back kicks Troy right square in the groin. Wiping his eyes from the mace. Champagne does a cocky pin on Troy and gets the 1-2-3. Son outdoes Father in this hardcore war>>

The Death Machines enter Joe Gacy and Audrey Carbine walk at different paces because they aren't a well oiled machine of a team quite like they're opponents tonight for the Vacant XPWEW Tag Titles
All Man & All Woman enter in unison with quart cartoons of milk and matching red chain mails as they cheers together and we are introduced to "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner making his first public appearance since his hospitalization last February
<<"Loud" All Woman chants fill the stadium to capacity to start off. Carbine pie faces Woman during a face-off then a fired up and fed-up All Woman fires up which she's really yet to do and the crowd pops because they like seeing Carbine get her butt kicked by a female competitor for a change. All Man big back body drop on Gacy. Gacy tosses Man out of the ring with some help from Carbine. Gacy whips All Man into the steel steps then slams his head repetitively on the remains of the indian commentary desk that was destroyed in the previous match. Carbine sweeps the leg and sambo slams All Man, Woman tries to intervene but Referee Kevin Madrox stops her to keep order. Carbine double suplexes All Man and All Woman and shows off her super human former marine strength. Gacy hits a spinebuster on All Man on the apron and All Man sells it like he just had all the wind knocked out of him when he comically falls off like a 2 x 4 board. Carbine locks in the Art of Ballistics armbar on All Man, Gacy goes to throw a punch, All Man ducks, but Gacy stops before accidentally hitting Carbine. All Man hulks up and hoists up the 300 pounder Gacy with a gordbuster. Carbine locks the figure four leg lock between the turbuckle on All Woman and Madrox tries to break the hold, even threatens to call a DQ. Carbine obliges then kicks All Woman violently in the head after. Carbine chest bumps Gacy as a sign of disrespect. Carbine lands body shots on All Woman and drops her with one to the gut. The crowd is going nuts for this match because they really like All Woman and really detest Carbine. All Woman powers back kicks Carbine and goes for an armbar on her for a change. Carbine knows her hold and how to block it but All Woman adjusts, Carbine then resorts to cheat tactics by raking her eyes to escape. All Woman recovers lands a knee and a DDT on Carbine. She goes for a pin, but only gets a one count. All Man yanks Carbine out of the ring hard. Gacy steps in and makes the save, Gacy and Carbine start to face off, Fans eat it up. Gacy hawks a lougie and spits nastily in Carbine's face and she lands combos beating up Gacy in the corner of the ringside, and then in one shove Gacy pushes her back but All Woman soars through the sky with a whipser in the wind taking out both Death Machines. Back in the ring, All Man lands three amigos on Gacy. Gacy lands a knee strike. All Man uses a trio of german suplexes, Gacy reverses the 4th one hitting his finisher "Chainsaw'd Off" All Man then gets up right after it essentially no selling it and gets Gacy for an ankle lock, Carbine makes the save, Carbine throws a kick All Man catches it and the crowd wants him to clobber her, He puts Carbine in an ankle lock. Gacy shoves All Man out, All Woman jumps on Gacy's back with wild punches and puts Gacy in the "EMMA LOCK!". Carbine goes to save Gacy but All Man dives and grabs her ankle and has her in the ankle lock, Carbine and Gacy reverse the submissions simultaneously and swing All Man and All Woman into each other bumping heads together. Gacy shoves All Man into the chair he wedged between the ropes before this match even started. Carbine irish-whips All Woman into the corner. All Man counters the "Chainsaw'd Off". All Woman counters Carbine's attempt at that finisher as well. Gacy spits the yellow liquid mist but ducking it All Man grabs hold and hits the Almond Joy on Joe Gacy then jumps to his feet to cactus clothesline Audrey Carbine out of the ring as they both tumble outside, All Woman covers Gacy for the 1-2-3 and the NEW XPWEW Tag Team Champions! ALL MAN and ALL WOMAN!!!!!!!! All Man grabs both belts and they both hold them high! All Woman and All Man share a kiss as fireworks display over the stadium>>

Video package of the history and career legacy between Jake Awesome and The Dragonslayer
Referee Johnathan Chambers is assigned this match
Jake Awesome enters (biggest pop of the night)
Slayer enters (huge pop) accompanied by Rosemary
<<During the introductions. Rosemary is setting up tables wildy outside each side of the ring. She sets up 4 tables. As soon as the word "Slayer" exits the lips of ring announcer James Westerbeck, Jake Awesome big boots the mush of Slayer and this bout is on! Bell rings! Awesome then hits the Awesome Bomb and goes for the pin and gets a 1 count! And in the first 3 seconds of the match Awesome has hit his finish on Slayer and after what Rosemary, Lotus and Slayer have put him through the last 3 weeks and really what Slayer has endured him with is a career of hell. Unsuccessful of the pin but Awesome doesn't waste any time grabbing Slayer by the hair and sling him with ease of the top rope and slings him dangerously right into a table Rosemary set up moments ago. Awesome goes outside the ring, shoves Slayer in and picks him for a gorilla press and turns him mid air and again Slayer crashes through a second table merely a minute into the contest. Awesome throws him back in the ring yet again lifting Slayer on the turnbuckle and hits a stalling suplex for 30 seconds holding Slayer for about 30 seconds then slowly falling back and Slayer flips on the Superplex with velocity. Awesome kips up and The Mammoth is unhinged but as soon as he turns around Slayer pops right up and gets right in his face because Slayer will not give up! Not when the lights shine bright. Jake presses a middle finger up to Slayer's forehad to which Slayer does the same right back, Slayer and Jake trade punches until Slayer backs up hitting the ropes, Jake goes for a clothesline, Slayer ducks, still running, Slayer ducks the elbow, Slayer hits the ropes again and head-scissors hurracanranna takes Jake down as he rolls outside, Slayer gets a run and go hits a dive through the ropes, goes back in dives to the oustide again, goes inside for another dive this time Awesome grabs him mid air in Bomb position but Slayer counters it with another hurracanranna. Slayer goes to the apron, climbs to the nearest top rope and a senton connects, Jake is laid out. Rosemary then pulls multiple chairs out from under the ring and throws chairs ontop of Jake until he is buried in lie 9 chairs. Slayer gets a running go and just flings himself over the ropes onto the chairs with Awesome underneath which really hurt Slayer more I guess. Slayer then grabs each chair one by one hitting awesome over the back eight times and then throws the chair Sabu style hitting Awesome it the face, Awesome falls back into the barricade, to which Rosemary come over and gets up in Awesome's face dripping her bloody lip on him to which Awesome shoves her from his face, Slayer grabs Awesome throws him on the apron. Slayer ascends the top rope and hits a 450 splash to Jake on the hardest part of the ring. Jake rolls to the middle of the ring, Slayer follows and applies the Indian Death lock, rare move but Jake is selling it as Slayer applies the pressure on the long legs of 'The Mammoth'. Jake eventually counters with his legs pushing Slayer "sparta" style kick into the turnbuckle and Slayer bounces back collapsing like a rap doll. Jake gets his hands on the rope to get back to his feet but Rosemary sneaks up and bites Jake's hand and will not let go, Jake's hand is now bloody from Rosemary's bite. Slayer goes to dropkick Jake's back, Jake dodges and the kick hits Rosemary and she falls flat back onto the floor of chairs from earlier. Jake kicks Slayer out the way, Jake gets a running go, then goes for a Suicide Dive onto Rosemary who moves and Jake lands crooked onto the pile of chairs and a "You Fucked Up" chant erupts. Rosemary then applies a camel clutch to Awesome who then carries Rosemary on his back as he gets up on the apron, Slayer off the top rope, flips over Awesome standing on the apron, yanks Rosemary off him now inadvertently Slayer is holding Rosemary in a standing power-bomb position, he turns around and Awesome runs off the apron and hits a doomsday device on Rosemary that Slayer was accidentally holding her up for, Awesome decks Rosemary clean off Slayer's shoulders. Crowd pops huge and we get a "This Is Awesome" chant. Slayer then goes to grab Jake, Jake then scoops up Slayer like a child, runs him to the ramp and chucks him onto the last glass panel of the ramp on the way to the ring and just chucks him and drops Slayer and the loud thud of Slayer's weight cracks the glass leaving it shattered and cracked but not broken through. Jake goes into the ring, awaiting Slayer to stand up. Awesome going for the patented Suicide Dive he connects and him and Slayer crash through the glass that was already weakened by that last spot. Awesome and Slayer fall into the cracking glass panel and now the are both drenched but the water at that spot of the ramp is probably only 1 foot deep at best. Just enough to wet the hair, Slayer has blood on his back, Awesome has a cut on his forehead and a trickle of blood running down his right arm. They both stagger into the ring. They both use each other as crutches to stand up. They trade punches. Jake wins that war after the 3rd blow. Jake then applies the Helm Sharpshooter on Slayer for the first time ever! Slayer is locked in his own hold. Slayer finds the rope and Jake breaks the hold. Lotus runs down the ramp. Lotus enters the ring but Jake sees her coming and picks her up and teases the Awesome Bomb, Rosemary jumps in and he sandwiches them together and hits the double awesome bomb. Slayer gets up and stumbles back into the scenario and Awesome kicks him and hits the Awesome Bomb for the 1-2-3 and the NEW XPWEW International Champion is 'The Mammoth' Jake Awesome!

XPWEW World Women's Champion Priscilla Kelly enters (turnbuckle pyro is very Kane-esque)
<<Priscilla spin kicks Kiera and Doxy, Kiera and Doxy get technical bridging each other for backside pins trading counters until Priscilla breaks it up with a rolling thunder. Priscilla grabs Doxy and Doxy turns it into and Undertaker old school attack, Kiera double sunset flip on both competitors neither pin works out, Priscilla throws Doxy to the outside, Kiera grabs hold of Priscilla with a "PTO". Doxy hits a superkick to Kiera right on the chin. then Doxy tunes up the band for Priscilla but Kelly twists the foot into an enzuguri spin kick counter taking Doxy to the outside, Priscilla gets a running start and hits a topae sucicida onto Priscilla and still lands on her feet because she's extremely agile. Kiera gets on the top rope and hits a Twisted Bliss from the top to the outside but crashes and burs landing on the hard ground. Brian Lee checks out her leg and knee that made a dangerous thud on the landing. Doxy and Priscilla battle in the ring, Doxy goes for the Mexican power bomb three times and gets a near two count.

Pans into a highlight package of Golden Bryce's quick rise to superstardom, becoming a grand-slam champion in under a year and ultimately losing last year at Lockdown Six to Jake Awesome and how tonight is a redemption story, Then a video package of Ruckus stealing Bryce's air jordan shoes and burning them, Bryce: I have to work, fight and claw for every breath and step here. Ruckus: You wouldn't last a day in my hood. I don't want that belt. I want the money that you are a making and I'm not
Eerie scary hymn music. plays
Jordan Oliver, Myron Reed, Kotto Brazil, Siaka Lexoni, Chrissy Rivera, and Ruckus' 7 kids ranging from ages 20-6 walk out all holding flaming wooden sticks. They stand 6 on each side.
The 4 Dancing Pallbearers enter with a casket perched on their shoulders and they spin around slowly to the music and then they stand still.
-They all throw their flaming sticks into a pile creating a large flame
Thunder bolt pyrotechnic explodes
(Bankroll by Lil Boosie blares) (crowd pops)
Dancing pallbearers flawlessly dance with the casket doing several dance moves with the coffin then gently place the casket on the ground and Ruckus' youngest son opens the casket and Ruckus hops out with all the swagger in the world and hypes himself up walking confidently to the ring.
Ruckus enters (huge pop) The Set and Ruckus' kids walk to the back

Referee Kevin Madrox has been assigned this contest
<<Golden Bryce holds the title up and Ruckus smirks at him and grabs the title and throws it on the floor. Bryce decks him and the bell rings. Bryce punches Ruckus with strikes in the corner and then hits the 10 punch spot but only gets to about 4 when Ruckus reverses it effortlessly into a Tarantula submission reminiscent of Tajiri. Ruckus breaks the hold to hit a classic drive-by dropkick that damn near took Bryce's head off. Ruckus runs back and goes for a Stinger Splash in the corner and Bryce reverses with the Book-End like Booker T slamming Ruckus down with authority. Bryce slaps his chest hyping himself up and steps on Ruckus' back showing a darker side that Masato Tanaka urged he needed to bring out to defeat a guy like Ruckus. Bryce scoops up Ruckus with ease and hangs him upside-down for the tree of woe. Bryce then gets a running start from the opposite corner runs steps on the bottom rope for elevation and drops a vicious elbow drop on Ruckus who is hung up in the corner. Bryce drags him over for the pin and Ruckus kicks out at one. Ruckus does a roll up of his own and Bryce kicks out quickly. Bryce head butts Ruckus and Ruckus knees Bryce in the groin. Joey Styles points out it was the very same kick in the groin move from Jake one year ago that costed Golden Bryce that Lockdown win, kept him from truly capturing that career defining Lockdown moment and three-hundred and sixty-five days later Bryce is looking to capture that moment. Bryce powders to the outside to regain composure and take a breath. Ruckus runs through the bottom rope and hits a tornado DDT on Bryce and capitalizes in his moment of leisure. Bryce gets up on the apron and attempts a heart attack but Ruckus connects a pin-point perfect drop kick knocking Bryce right back down to the outside. Ruckus hits a corkscrew over the ropes landing on Bryce on the outside and Ruckus is making this look easy. Ruckus kicks Bryce on the head mockingly then shoves him back inside. Ruckus took a little too much time getting up and Bryce on the inside grabs Ruckus on apron. Bryce jerks Ruckus up and over the ropes then picks him up for an T-Bone Suplex much like Shelton Benjamin! Bryce then foot chokes Ruckus in the corner and grabs both his feet and pulls him to the middle of the ring and applies the Golden Cloverleaf and Bryce has it cinched in and Ruckus is in the middle of the canvas. Ruckus can't out power Bryce but he eventually crawls the rope and Referee Kevin Madrox counts 1-2-3-4-5 and Bryce still doesn't break the hold so Referee Kevin Madrox grabs Golden Bryce and forcefully yanks the champion off of Ruckus thus giving him the use of this brief advantage to hit the bankroll out of seemingly no energy but Ruckus is slow to get the fall he gets a very close 2 count but Bryce gets his shoulder up. Bryce irish-whips Ruckus into the ropes, Ruckus stops himself, Bryce gets down thinking Ruckus is gonna jump over but where he stopped himself veteran instinct savviness from Ruckus pays off when he applies "The Gangsta Stretch" submission hold and Bryce is able to out-power him and kick Ruckus back knocking him back into the ropes: Ruckus does an Ambrose like rebound off the middle rope and comes right back with a laser sharp dropkick to a sitting Golden Bryce and goes for the pin and only gets a one count. Ruckus tries to get up, Bryce grabs him by his overalls and hits the Dominator much like Bobby Lashley. A downed Ruckus swings at Bryce and misses wildly. Bryce yanks up Ruckus to his feet and hits The World's Strongest Slam for a two count. Bryce looks flustered that Ruckus keeps kicking out of these high powered maneuvers. Bryce hits a deep corner suplex on Ruckus and Ruckus' legs bounce off the bottom rope looks like a bad landing. Bryce goes for a belly-to-belly, Ruckus goes for a elbow shot, Bryce ducks it presses Ruckus forward into the ropes, Ruckus rolls backwards, Bryce counters the roll up with a heavy german suplex into a bridge pin that Ruckus counters with elusiveness sliding out of the ring avoiding Bryce's grip, Ruckus falls off the apron onto the floor like a sack of potatoes. both men endure a 7 count as they are both down on the mat, Bryce still down but Ruckus climbs to the top rope Bryce gets up to his feet quickly and hits the Goldrush Destroyer onto the top turnbuckle. Golden Bryce hits "Done Deal" on Ruckus and gets a 1-2- NO!!!!! Ruckus kicks out! Bryce then irish whips Ruckus and hits the Low Down courtesy of D'Lo and the pin combo only gets a two but Bryce isn't phased, he gets up quick and takes down both straps of his Black Panther singlet and lies in wait for the 6 Rings spear. Ruckus prone in the corner slowly gets up and Bryce goes for it, Ruckus leap frogs, Bryce misses but then Bryce turns around quick and goes for what appears to be an Awesome Bomb but Ruckus counters by hitting The Bankroll out of nowhere and Ruckus makes the cover for the 1-2 and Bryce kicks out. Ruckus hits the Razzle Dazzle and Bryce hulks up and Ruckus hits the Scissor Kick and does a sweet little break dance move to regain his upward mobility (not the spin-a-roonie though). Bryce rolls under the apron and tries to get up to his feet using the ropes, Ruckus gets a run and pushes Bryce and he goes diving onto the English commentary table and rolling all the way over it onto Kaitlyn, Nick and Joey but they all move safely in time, despite the big crash the table doesn't break. Ruckus goes outside, sits Bryce on the table flat. Ruckus then gets on the apron and without looking back hits a asai moonsault onto Bryce and the table DOES NOT BREAK, they just roll off to the back end. Ruckus and Bryce both crawl into the ring moments later after being sprawled out on the floor. Ruckus gets in first and crawls to the opposite end of the ring, Bryce slowly creeps behind him, Ruckus tries to do a quick Bankroll, he rolls off Bryce's sweaty back, Bryce looks for a samoan drop, Ruckus rolls right back off, bounces back off the second rope and hits a Bankroll off the 2nd rope, easily move of the night and pins Bryce but Bryce is able to get his arm on the bottom rope, If that rope was not there then Ruckus would have won this contest. Ruckus is tired and so is Bryce but Bryce uses the bottom rope and clings to it, pulling himself to the closest corner and Ruckus lays on him basically and when Bryce is in the corner Ruckus chops him slowly just once to the WOOOOOOOOs of the crowd. Bryce slowly slugs him back, Bryce slowly irish whips Ruckus hard into the opposing corner, Ruckus like Ric Flair hits the buckles upside down, brings himself right back up and Bryce picks up Ruckus for the Goldrush Destroyer, Ruckus lands on his feet then vaults up and over at an angle hits The Bankroll for the 1-2-3 and the NEW XPWEW World Heavyweight Champion is Ruckus!!!!
XPWEW World Heavyweight Title 1 on 1 M7: Ruckus defeats Golden Bryce (c)
Ruckus is so tired and Bryce is so worn out they both just lay there and they do until The Set run down to the ring and help Ruckus up and they put the world title around his waist and Ruckus can barely stand but they carry him up the ramp, Myron, Kotto, Jordan are so hype and Lexoni hugs Ruckus tight as Ruckus becomes a Grandslam champion here tonight at Lockdown. The camera then pans over to Golden Bryce who is staring up at the night Dubai sky as he slowly rolls out of the ring and walks up the ramp with his head down. The camera pans back to Ruckus holding up his first world title as The Set has him standing up right. Huge pyro explodes over Rashid Stadium as Ruckus now raises the belt high and he's being lifted up by his faction: The Set. We see Bryce emotionless walking up the ramp in disbelief. Show ends

Pushing boundaries: VISTA talks new record, tour, future
Tumblr media
Anthem-rock band VISTA releases their sophomore EP Long Live tomorrow, and it feels like a huge step forward for the band, an improvement on what their previous EP VERSUS did well. We caught up with the band for another interview and to get an idea of what went into the new EP and what’s being going on with them recently.
---
Andrew Friedgen: First off, let’s talk about some things leading up to the new EP. Early this year, you played a show with Against the Current. How was it? How were you received by their fans? Any particular memories stand out?
Hope Vista: It was sick! I was hella nervous that day. You never know how people are going to react to you, but we had a good reception and lead vocalist Chrissy [Costanza] was also super receptive, which was really cool. Super nice girl.
Greg Almeida: Yeah, I was very thankful for how that entire day turned out. I even got street parking around the block! It was great. Shouts out to Chrissy.
AF: And, you sold out your first headlining shows. Do you consider that a milestone for VISTA? What was the energy in the rooms like?
HV: Really, really weird. Like, super unexpected. Even on Long Island, where we both live, I was expecting like 10 people to be there. That was just my biggest fear. That show ended up being completely wild and kind of overwhelming. That particular show was the most energetic show I’ve ever played, and it kinda was just running through my veins like a shot of adrenaline. All I can ever ask for is our work to eventually show itself, and it did with those first few headliners. I was humbled.
GA: Yeah, for real. All the bands that played with us helped, too. Everyone stayed and got rowdy and hung out. That meant a lot to us. We just wanna play to energy-filled crowds all the time.
AF: Can you tell me more about what you’re calling ‘The Oasis’? What is it about? How will it manifest?
GA: Right now, it’s just a concept. It’s basically wherever THIS is. Wherever the “allegiance” is. It could be that show were playing; it could be on the Internet. It could be in your bedroom. Wherever you feel safe and free of all this negativity from the outside world, that’s what we want to create for you. Right now it’s just music, but who knows. It could be developed into a lot more one day.
HV: What he said. He’s the best at describing it.
Tumblr media
AF: What challenges or changes did you face recording Long Live compared to previous releases? How did you push the limit?
HV: A lot of the topics on these songs are delicate. That was probably my personal biggest challenge, along with learning and figuring out who Greg is as a writer and seeing how our styles mesh together to fit VISTA. We argued a lot, we were really stressed out, and I had days where I was just a nightmare because of how frustrated I was. We pushed until we found an even ground.
GA: Yeah I think we both pushed each others’ boundaries as writers with this and it was cool. We were able to find things we both liked, which at the same time were both really new to us.
AF: Tell me a bit about “Inside Anxious.” This is a song that deals with anxiety, which many musicians I talk to struggle with. Are artists more prone to something such as anxiety (or is art a result of the anxiety)? Do you have any tips to cope with anxiety?
HV: This is a hard one for me. “Inside Anxious” stemmed from a concept that I came up with and brought to our producer (Okan Kazdal) and Greg. I said that this concept has to be done right, it’s a delicate topic and the lyrics have to be completely on point. I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder when I was 8 years old, and it’s so normal to me now at almost 24 that it’s not something I just discuss openly with many people. But lately the conversation around anxiety, depression, and things of this nature in general has been much more prominent in the media and on social networks. So I thought this was important ground to cover, if done the right way. My biggest coping tips are exercise, cutting down on caffeine, and keeping busy. Primarily the last one.
AF: You launched a GoFundMe for Long Live and not only met your goal but surpassed it by a good amount. Did you expect this? How did this boost help the album? What did the funds go into?
HV: Yeah! I didn’t want to at first. I don’t like asking people for help, let alone money, when it’s something you’re choosing to do. We wanted to make it as fair as possible. I was really hesitant at first, but I can’t even believe we got over our goal. We actually asked for a lot less than what we needed, because it just didn’t feel right asking people to just donate for everything. But I just can’t believe people believe in us that much to give us money to help us pursue our passion, you know? That’s just unbelievable. All of the funds went into the remaining balance we had for recording costs and mastering.
GA: I straight up did not expect this at all. It blew my mind that anyone even gave that much of a hoot about us. It was super super humbling, I really want to do our fans right with this one now. They helped us in a hard time.
AF: With a tour on the horizon and a new album out, where do you see VISTA going? Where do you hope to go?
HV: We take it month by month - for the rest of the year we’re just going to be touring as much as we can to promote the record. I don’t think we’re recording any new music for a while. VISTA has put out two records in 14 months, so we’re just going to focus mainly on touring and other types of content.
GA: We hope to get more attention on us now that we are touring and have the EP coming out! Even if it’s 10 people or 1000, it means the world to us. We put a lot of work into this.
AF: Anything else you’d like to share with sonder readers?
HV: Thank you so much for opening up your ears to VISTA. Enjoy Long Live!
GA: Thanks for sonder-ing with us! Show love to your favorite local bands. Listen to their stuff. Buy their music. Buy their merch. Go to their shows. If one of those bands is us, well thank you for that. We appreciate it. \/ /\
