Wasting time
When we pull into Venus port, I don’t head to the hauler bar, and the rest of the crew don’t ask me to. Where they turn left, I turn right, and head off among the locals. The buse I take is new; they have different restraints now. The driver, too, probably. But the route is the same as it was when I left Venus for the first time, seven years ago.
I see her before she sees me. Natalie is almost thirteen now, and oh wow, she’s getting tall. She leans on the school fence, talking to a friend; both girls wear their school uniform belts at an odd angle, but it’s the same off angle, so it must be the latest teen fashion or something. There is laughter in her eyes and the ugliest paint I’ve ever seen on her nails and crystals threaded in her hair and I’m almost surprised that I can even recognise her on sight. It has, after all, been a full year since I’ve seen her.
Then she catches sight of me, and her eyes light up with joy, and without even pausing to say goodbye to her friend she runs over and throws her arms around my neck (not a strain at all, she’s getting so tall). “Mum!” she shrieks in delight, and pulls back a bit, smiling. “You look the same.”
I nod. It’s not surprising. It has, after all, only been a month since she’s seen me.
“Let’s get to the restaurant. We’ll meet your dad there.”
“Are you going to stay for my birthday?”
She always asks, and the answer is always the same. “Of course I’ll be here for your birthday.”
The restaurant is the same one that we always go to – my favourite, mostly because it never seems to update the décor – and unlike Natalie, I almost don’t recognise Samuel. There are new lines in his face, new grey in his hair, and he’s stopped bothering to wear clothes I’d remember; only his position at our usual table, and the way Natalie rushes right over to him, tips me off that this man is my husband. I sit down, and I smile at him, and he smiles back and there’s so much love there, but also tiredness. So much tiredness.
“The usual?” he asks.
“You know what I like.”
We order, and Natalie orders something with Neptunian prunes in it. I frown. “You hate Neptunian prunes.”
She rolls her eyes. “I love them, Mum.”
“I could have sworn…”
“I think what your mother means,” Samuel cut in, “is that you used to hate them when you were younger.”
“Well, yeah; when I was a kid,” Natalie says, and pops a prune into her mouth.
Throughout dinner, Natalie tells me about the latest fashions and the latest music and the latest drama with her friends, and I drink it all in as best I can. I’m in port for a week, and then I’m off, and by the time I get back next month this will all be a year out of date, but I try to keep up. It’s all I’ll have. Hair diamonds are in but hair rubies are out, if all you’ve got is rubies then you’re best to go ‘barehead’ without any jewels, and Venus Fog is the latest upcoming band and Natalie thinks she’ll get into acting and also I should tell dad how great it would be to get pet rats. Eventually she excuses herself to go to the bathroom, leaving Samuel and I over the scraps of our meals. I push some vegetables around my plate, not meeting his eyes, while he watches me.
“You look the same,” he says.
“You always say that.”
“It’s always true.”
“Next time I’ll get a tattoo or something.”
He tenses up at the phrase ‘next time’. I fall silent again.
After several long, awkward seconds, I ask, “How’s Valerie?”
“Fine,” he says. “Valerie’s doing fine.”
I bite my lip, not caring if I look jealous. I’m not; really, I’m not. It would be ridiculous for me to expect Sam to wait an entire year to see me, over and over, and not have someone else. He would never have even pursued Valerie if I hadn’t suggested it. It was a necessity of the situation.
And honestly, it’s not even just the long waits. Sam and I had been school sweethearts and gotten married when we were both nineteen. Now I’m twenty seven, and he’s… thirty five, I think? No amount of love in the world will change the fact that I am simply getting too young for him. And that’s the real problem with Valerie, I guess. She’s always been younger than him – two years younger. And me? Well.
“You’re staying for Natalie’s birthday, right?” he asks.
“Of course I’m here for Natalie’s birthday. I’m always here for Natalie’s birthday.”
“And not much else,” he mumbles under his breath, and I drop my fork and glare at him.
“What would you have me do, Sam? We have bills!”
“Everyone has bills. Everyone manages.”
“If we want to get Natalie into a tier one quarternary school – ”
“We both managed fine in a normal quarternary school.”
“ – then we need an income; a good income. Being an interstellar hauler makes me ten times the money I could make anywhere on Venus and you know it.”
“Ten times the money, for twelve times the time. You realise that, right? It comes out less on our end.”
“Do you need more? I can borrow from – ”
“No! This isn’t about needing more money; I work, Valerie works, it’s fine. It’s about your excuse for this job being oxshit! On our timeframe, you pull in less money this way, and you know it. You’re out there on the edge of lightspeed, for a year at a time, letting it do this to you, for – ”
“Do what to me? It isn’t doing anything to me; I’m fine. Just because I’m living slower than you doesn’t mean – ”
“It’s stealing time from you; time with your family! Do you see yourself? Hear yourself? To you, it’s a month-on, week-off job, but every time you go out to haul near lightspeed, it’s a year before we see you again.”
“I understand that. I – ”
“I don’t think you do! I don’t understand how you can – your daughter is turning thirteen! Half a year ago, she was six to you, right? In half a year for you, I raised a child into a budding teen. Six months more of this, and your daughter will be an adult. You realise that, right? In less than a year and a half, your time, your daughter will be older than you. And she’ll barely know you! She barely knows you now! This isn’t time you’ll get back, you know. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.”
“I know,” I say. “I know, I just… one more haul, maybe two. Then we’ll have enough for Natalie’s education, and I can come back and with that nest egg I’ll have time to actually spend with her, an so will you, since neither of us will have to work long hours any more. Just a couple more months, and we can – ”
Samuel reaches out and wraps his large, soft, gentle hands around mine. “Love. If you get back on that hauler ship, then when you get back, there will be divorce papers waiting for you.”
Natalie comes back then, so I’m forced to bite back my reply, and I think I manage to hide my rage through dinner. Afterwards, I decide to walk back to my dorms in port rather than take the bus; maybe I can walk off some of the anger.
He doesn’t understand, he really doesn’t understand, how good the money is for so little time. He’d really rather I stay on Venus and work for over a decade to make what I could in a single year on the ship. And he’s right, to an extent, about missing time with Natalie, but wouldn’t I me missing almost as much time working long hours here? This way, I have a full week off to see her every month. And once I’ve made enough, I’ll have as much time as I want with her.
Divorce. Ha. I should’ve known he’d fall more in love with Valerie in my absence. This is just an excuse.
I get to the dorms, and keep walking. Walk all the way to the hauler bar. It’s full of lightspeed haulers and basically no one else but waitstaff; we haulers tend to keep to our own kind, on the whole. My crew are there, of course, as are a few other crews, all mixed up and chatting with each other, because when you’ve spent a month cooped up with the same people you don’t want to hang out with just them on your downtime, too. We all share friendly, familiar nods and looks, friends and strangers alike. Lightspeed haulers intrinsically understand each other. There are experiences we all share that people like Samuel just don’t get.
My captain presses a drink into my hands. “So your little girl’s party is in three days, and then you’re free, right?” he asks without preamble.
“Not so little any more. But yeah.”
“You don’t mind if we head out a day early, then?”
I look out the window, up through the environmental dome and toward the stars that are completely hidden by Venus’ thick atmosphere. Already, I can feel the thrum of the ship’s engines in my bones.
“I can be ready a day early,” I say. “I don’t mind at all.”

family matters
stray kids 10th member au
Charlie x Valerie x Stray Kids
[for those don’t know, or have forgotten Valerie is Charlie’s step-sister (she’s the same age as minho) and she hates Charlie & Jacob (Charlie’s twin brother) she is very rude to them.]
important information: Charlie’s father and step mother are both unfit to work at the time after a incident so Valerie is looking after their companies (which are massive) because neither Charlie or Jacob are able to do it...and their recoveries could take months.
questions? thoughts? requests? send me an ask!
bold = english
(gif not mine! credit to owner!)
October 21st - unveil showcase
“we can eat now!!” Felix cheered, as they exited the stage and walked down the long corridor back to the dressing room. most of the boys laughed at his enthusiasm, agreeing with him. Charlie walked behind them all with her head down, deep in thought.
that couldn’t of been her in the crowd, why would she be in korea, why would she come to the showcase. why-
her little train of thought was cut if when someone slipped their hand into hers, tugging on it a little. she looked down at her hand then up at the person, it was Minho.
“what’s wrong with you? you’re never this quiet” he nudged her shoulder with his own, a small smile painted onto his lips. Charlie shook her head dismissively and looked back down
“it’s nothing, just thinking about something”
Minho pulled his hand from hers and swung his arm over shoulder. “about what? you seem....troubled” he raised on eyebrow at her. the younger laughed and leaned against him, “you sound like my English teacher..” Minho laughed at her comment before she started talking again “i just thought i saw someone in the crowd”
“ahhhh okay” he nodded. with no attempts to continue the conversation from either of them they walked in silence, listening to the other boys bicker playfully, that was until the sound of feet running down the corridor and shouts caught the attention of the whole group.
“hey! charlie, wait!”
i recognize that voice charlie thought and spun around coming face to face with her step sister, Valerie. the older girl skid to a stop in front of Charlie, breathing heavily. “Jesus Christ girl you need to pay more attention to the people around you” she snapped.
Charlie scoffed and went to reply but remembered the boys were with her she quickly turned back to them. “you guys go ahead, seems like I've got company to deal with” she rolled her eyes.
“who is she?” Hyunjin piped up, Charlie glanced behind her before answering “my step sister from hell”
some of the boys bit back laughs, Charlie as well. “i’ll join you guys once I've sorted this out, but if i’m not back in 10 minutes someone come look for me”
they all nodded and turned around, shuffling towards the dressing room and disappearing through the door. once she was sure they had all gone she turned to Valerie. “two thing. one, why the hell are you here? two, what the hell do you want?”
Valerie scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest “that’s no way to talk to your sweet older sister is it?” she fluttered her false lashes, a wicked smile on her lips.
Charlie took a step threatening step forwards. “you are not my sister, and you’ll never be. so tell what you need to and get lost” she glared up at the girl. usually Charlie held back during arguments with Valerie but that wasn’t going to be the case today.
“okay first things first darling, you are not allowed to talk to me like that. i’m older than you and that means you respect me, got it?” she grabbed Charlie by the collar of her shirt, tugging her forward.Charlie grabbed hold of her wrists, yanking them off her collar and pushing the older girl backwards.
“i have no respect for you and i never will” she kissed her teeth, glaring at Valerie. “just tell me what you were gonna say and fuck off, i don’t have time for this” Charlie took a step back, shoving her hands into her pockets and leaning all her weight onto her left leg.
“oh, right!” Valerie giggled obnoxiously which made Charlie roll her eyes. “i have some exciting news for you!! you’re going to have a step-niece soon!!” Charlie’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped as she watvhed the older girl move her hands over her stomach.
“y-you’re...you’re pregnant?!” she yelled, startling Valerie “wait hold on, give me a minute. you, the biggest bitch on the planet, are having a child?” she snapped.
Valerie’s face contorted in anger. “you will not raise your voice at me! you are not allowed to do that!”
throwing her hands over head, Charlie walked in a small circle. “so i can’t raise my voice at you but you can scream at me all you want?! no see that’s not how it is works mate if i’m gonna raise my voice then i will!“ Charlie raised her voice, glaring daggers at Valerie. “so tell me, who’s the dad?” she crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her foot against the floor.
a proud smile grazed over Valerie’s face. “a man, Micheal, that i met at a party a couple of months ago!” Charlie felt like her eyes were gonna pop out of their sockets at the amount they had widened.
“okay so if i’m hearing correctly you got knocked up by some guy that you met a couple of MONTHS ago at a PARTY?!” Charlie stressed the words ‘months’ and ‘party’. Her mind flicked to the company, a bad feeling washing over her.
“have you completely forgotten about the company? you are in charge of one of the worlds biggest companies and you go and get knocked up by some guy? do you not realize how much responsibility you have right now? Who’s gonna look after the company when you go on maternity leave, cause my dad and your mum aren’t gonna be well enough when that happens so who’s gonna do it?” Charlie snapped, the vein in the side of her neck bulging.
an evil smirk and glare took over Valerie’s features. “that’s for you to decide sis, gotta run~” she winked and took of running before Charlie could register it.
a heavy sigh escaped her lips as she rubbed her hands over her face. “i fucking hate her” she muttered angrily. stomping towards the dressing room, she stood outside the door taking a few deeps breaths to calm herself down. “okay charlie calm down, don’t tell them what happened” she spoke to herself before opening the door.
“Noona!!” Jeongin shouted when he saw her enter. “what happened out there?” he ran up to her. Charlie giggled and ruffled his hair. “nothing jeonginnie, just a little.....family business” he nodded and ran off to where he had been sat.
Charlie took a seat in the furthest corner of the room, pulling off her hoodie and dropping it into her lap before dropping her head into her hands, feeling a headache beginning to form in her head.
pushing her hands up onto her head, she knocked off her hat and ran her hands through her blonde hair before closing her eyes. someone crouched in front of her, gently placing their hands on her knees to steady themselves. Charlie opened her eyes and looked up, becoming eye level with Felix.
“Charlie...” his deep voice rang through her ears. “yes lix?” she asked, leaning her arms on her thighs. “what happened with your step-sister? you like your ready to cry and or murder someone” he laughed, Charlie weakly smiled and looked down.
“its a long story lix, i’m sure you don’t wanna hear it” she played with a loose thread on her jumper, distracting herself. looking p, she saw Felix shrug and check the nonexistent watch on his wrist. “I've got time, spill, what’s going on?”
with a drawn out sigh, Charlie sat up and pressed her palms flat against her thighs. “so y’know my dad and step-mum own these companies and shit but they got into a really bad accident a couple months ago and they’re both in hospital blah blah blah and my step-sister had to basically run the company and shit. turns out she’s pregnant which means that soon enough she’ll go on maternity leave and i know for a fact that my parents wont be well enough by then which means that there’ll be no one to look after the company because i can’t do it and neither could Jacob and....and...” she started breathing heavily, beginning to panic.
Felix gently placed his hand on her face making her look at him. “hey char, look at me, you’re panicking, breath okay? go on, in....out, again” he helped her calm down then let her lean her head on his shoulder.
“i can’t deal with this now Felix, not with how busy things are going to get, i don’t want any of this stress...it’s too much” her voice dropped to no higher than a whisper, Felix barely hearing it over the boys’ loud bickering behind him.
his hand gently threaded through her hair. “i know Charlie, first a breakup and now this...” at the word ‘breakup’ Charlie pushed herself up and looked up at him questioningly.
“how did you know?” she raised her eyebrow cautiously. Felix chuckled and shook his head. “the night you two broke up, he told me and hyunjin what happened” he said quietly, remembering the others didn’t know.
Charlie groaned and rested her head back onto his shoulder. “why must my life be such a fuck up?” she shook her head. Felix started playing with her hair again to calm her down. “don’t worry char, things will work out eventually”
she went to reply when their manager walked into the room, announcing it was time to leave. Felix stood up and pulled Charlie with him, chuckling when she slumped against him, “okay, let’s get you back to the dorms...you need sleep”

Josie and the Pussycats Vol 2 Review (Some spoilers)
So I absolutely loved the last issue of Josie and the Pussycats, and I was surprised and disappointed that this was the last of it. Seriously, only two. I thought the point was to keep it running forever. Anyway to the actual plot. It still contained the fun action packed cartoonish plots of mystery and man cap hijinks with a dash of realism but I feel like it lost a little of it’s focus on character development. The first story was great at this with the relationship between Josie, and the Cabot twins but afterwards it was all lost. It mainly was on solving mysteries. The ending was unfortunately crowded with the induction of the Archie's, and past villains/friends from the vol 1 joining the fray for the big finale. I get the idea of joining all the people they met on their road trip but it just got mushed together. On the upside the various pop culture references were toned down. Now to the characters themselves!
Josie: While there was continuity of her ambition and drive and dependency on herself, instead of leaning on her friends. There was no real new strain or developments on her front. However there was some good drama between her and the Cabots whence their past grudges and how she continued to maintain a friendship with Alexandra despite the fact that Alan and Alexandra started to date. Honestly, it was sweet that she maintain friendship was more important than boys. Message must be pounded until it sticks.
Valerie: Like I said before, it seemed all character development was focused in vol 1. There was some mentions of how Valerie was concerned about her future, and that she wanted to do more than just be a rockstar. Cementing her firmly on earth and in practical- land. It was slightly resolved as they promised to give back more to charity and not be so concerned with fame as to not accept small town venues. Get back to their roots and such. But I wish her past was expanded upon.
Melody: Sweet sweet adorable girl. She is a joy to read and her enthusiasm and love for life is like a giant puppy! Great one for character relief she is. I just wish she got her own arc as well. If Bennet could give hidden depths to the Cabots and Alan M. surely she could do the same for Mel.
Alan M: Ahh yes, Alan M. He found love and not where I expected. Apparently the classic Josie and Alan pairing will not be. At least not here anyway. It sorta fits that he ends with Alexandra considering the two’s, how do I say, sometimes oblivious treatment of others. At least, he loosened the reins of managing the Pussycats and allowed them to do their thing although they did it without his knowledge. Okay, not that impressive, but he didn't blow his top off so that makes him cool in my book.
Alexandra Cabot: She changed so much and I loved it! If anyone was given a major character development, she is the one and it paid off. I swear the universe is conspiring against me to love villainous characters. It was so fulfilling to see her love someone other than herself and to care enough to think about Josie’s feelings about her dating with Alan M. But don’t worry, she still maintained her snark and I saw Veronica go a little ga ga. I always thought these two should be besties. So approve.
Alexander III Cabot: It was great to see him get some character development alongside his sis and in the best way possible! Highlighting their deep family bond. It was sweet although totally out there to avenge his sister’s sadness by kidnapping Josie and the Pussycats but it’s the thought that counts (??). He also tried to make a play for being the Pussycats manager which would have brought everything to the status quo so I was surprised Bennet went into a totally unknown guy. That would have been fine but I think it would have made more sense if J&P got a vol 3 so we could get to the new manager better.
So those are my thoughts. Hoped y’all enjoyed

Battle #27
Janet Jackson: Control (Side 2 )
Vs.
Quarterflash : S/T (Side 1 )
Janet Jackson: Control (Side 2 )
Janet Jackson is the youngest child of the very famous Jackson family. The family is a product of “local” upbringing in Gary, Indiana and helped launch the careers of other famous Jacksons, such as Michael. Janet began her career with the variety television series The Jacksons in 1976 and went on to appear in other television shows throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, including Good Times and Fame. Other incidents (such as the Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction from over a decade ago) are footnotes in her resume as well, but what sets her apart is her music. She got off on that career perhaps slower than her brothers but I think it’s safe to say enjoyed as much if not more success than them in the long run. Signing a recording contract with A&M Records in 1982, she became a pop icon following the release of her third and fourth studio albums Control , and later Rhythm Nation 1814. It’s hard to say which of these two albums had more appeal and success, but they both largely attribute to her setting herself apart. Both figuratively AND literally. With this album, she gained (*ahem) CONTROL (#seewhatididthere) from her family affairs, getting out from under her father’s clutches and attempts to access her fortunes. Janet cited it as one of the hardest things she has ever had to do. Side two may not have all of the BIG hits, but you should recognize a few of the titles, for sure. “The Pleasure Principle” starts off and right away, the dance beats are club worthy and catchy. This was a charting single off the biggest R&B album of 1986. “When I think of You” follows in that success pattern. It’s lighter fanfare but perhaps a more recognized hit. You can probably already imagine the back and forth simplified piano chords. VERY 80’s with the noises and fake key-horns. Even a decent breakdown and it rocks like a lullaby back and forth. The song comes across as honest, which I think is partially true of the whole album and why it sold so well. A laugh at the end helps solidify it all. “He Doesn’t Know I’m Alive” is an emotional tune (which I suppose is to be expected- Janet was only 20 when this came out and most likely written at 18 or 19) It does have a fair share of tooting horns though, too much for me. It’s the please notice me song. Another minor B side charting single follows with “Let’s Wait Awhile”. You would immediately recognize it if you have heard it. Really showcases the pop range of the younger sis. You can really hear the Michael blueprints here though. Even a little scat style vocal is explored. It’s often a record like this (3 or 4 into a career) where the artist seems to be open to exploring new things or just determined to destroy expectations that either really great things happen or really disastrous things. I think in this case Janet came out of her shell and landed on top. “Funny How Time Flys (When You’re Having Fun)” is the last tune. Is it a bonus French jam? At least it sounds foreign at the intro. Slow and jazzy. Lazy Sunday. Acoustic in nature and minimalist In stature. Is it necessary? Probably not, but then again why not? The icing on the cake to all of this is Janet is a soon to be 2019 rock and roll Hall of Fame inductee. She deserves it honestly.
Quarterflash : S/T (Side 1 )
Quarterflash is an American rock group formed in 1980 in Portland, Oregon. The band was originally made up of the two current members, Rindy Ross (lead vocals and saxophone) and her husband Marv Ross (guitars). Along with Jack Charles (guitars), Rick DiGiallonardo (keyboards/synthesizers), Rich Gooch (electric bass), and Brian David Willis (drums and percussion) the rest of the band is formed. Quarterflash is notable for having a lead singer who also played the saxophone. In a 1982 interview, Rindy Ross said that she viewed the saxophone as an extension of her voice, enabling her to express things she could not express with her voice alone. The group was formed by merging two popular Oregon bands, Seafood Mama and Pilot. They originally continued under the name Seafood Mama, and had early success with the song “Harden My Heart”, but thankfully changed to Quarterflash once the song picked up steam and labels took interest. I’m sorry, but GOOD CALL. Can you even imagine a more corny name? Fucking seafood mama?!? What?!!! Even just Seafood would be fine, it’s the addition of mama that makes it lamer than no hush puppies with your Seafood meal. Seafood Mama. GTFO Quarterflash! Why not Pickle Loaf? Bloated Socks? Fetish Meat? Sadly ANY of those are better than Seafood Mama. Wow. Just, wow. But I digress... Quarterflash signed to Geffen Records and released their self-titled debut album Quarterflash in September 1981. By middle 1982 the album had gone platinum. They had a follow up in the works, but in between had singles which ended up on popular soundtracks. Yes, things were looking good for Seafoo...er...Quarterflash. By the middle 80s though they were dropped from their label and disbanded. So that aforementioned chart topper, “Harden My Heart” is the first cut on their debut. Another great choice because it’s a pretty solid tune with a good message about independence. Smooth sax and at the appropriate levels. Not too crazy/lead off sax. Rindy has double duty with both lead vocalist and solo saxophonist in the band, and she’s really good at both. She has a smokey Stevie Nicks kind of voice and it helps to create this early 80s jukebox jam. Empowerment-core! It’s followed up by “Find Another Fool”-another hit in its own right. Maybe not AS big, but it made a splash and helped push the album to platinum. A decent rock level on this one. Plus some angelic harmonies. Berlin (the band) is a sincere comparison. Some violin Shiz too! At one point there is even some sax vs violin call and response. Quarterflash Mama! No denying the talent levels at least. It calms down a bit with “Critical Times” and it’s shhhuuuuuuullloooooooowwwwwww jam tempo. Harsh the buzz for sure. Did the drummer writer this one? (#seewhatididthere). Rindy steps back and one of the dudes take lead vox for this one. “Valerie” sees a return to form though. Rindy is back and the rock ensues. The song sounds vaguely familiar...possibly a radio player? Still, not the strongest or best cut. Definitely the first two for that moniker. “Try To Make It True” is the last and mid paced ballad that ends Quarterflash’s debut rookie card. It has moments of clarity and perception but it’s buried deep in the middle for a reason. Melody gets an A+ but overall a fade to black. I must say, I kind of hate it when the sax tries to take too much of a lead role. It’s a fine line of “too showy” vs “just filler” and in this case Quarterflash gets it. Just the right amount of sax.
So in today’s battle Janet Jackson took control and began her dominance in the music world she burned 158 calories over 22 minutes and 5 songs. That averages to 31.60 calories per song and 7.18 calories per minute. Janet earned 10 out of 15 possible stars. Quarterflash took their 22 minutes to sax us up on their debut. 5 songs were played and 162 calories were burned. They averaged 32.40 calories burned per song and 7.36 calories burned per minute. They earned 8 out of 15 possible stars. Even though they’re only a quarter flash, the other three quarters are rock and roll. Quarterflash wins!
Quarterflash : “Find Another Fool”

Domani sera su Rai5 il documentario di Spike Lee sulla carriera di Michael Jackson
Andrà in onda domani 19 gennaio alle ore 23:20 su Rai5 il documentario “Michael Jackson's Journey From Motown To Off The Wall”, realizzato dal regista bandiera dell’identità afroamericana Spike Lee nel 2016. Il documentario racconta l’'emancipazione di quella che da più parti è stata considerata la più grande star della musica pop, Michael Jackson, a partire dai 'Jackson 5' per giungere all'esordio solista di “Off The Wall”'. Era il 14 aprile 1982 quando Michael Jackson iniziò a incidere il suo album più celebre e influente, “Thriller”, ai Westlake Studios di Los Angeles. Ma prima di giungere a quell'apoteosi la strada era stata tutta in salita: il geniale performer era finalmente riuscito a surclassare se stesso tre anni prima, approdando a un album solista di esordio che aveva fatto epoca, il pluripremiato “Off The Wall”, spazzando via definitivamente l'immagine di bambino prodigio e mostrando al mondo un interprete e autore finalmente maturo e dal carisma avvincente. Spike Lee documenta questo percorso attraverso una quantità di filmati di repertorio corredati da interviste con alcuni grandi del mondo musicale contemporaneo. Davanti alla sua macchina da presa si avvicendano musicisti e produttori come Carole Bayer Sager, David Byrne, David Foster, Kenny Gamble e Leon Huff, Siedah Garrett, Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, John Legend, Valerie Simpson, Pharrell Williams e Stevie Wonder, condividendo i riflettori con alcuni dei membri della famiglia Jackson, contrappuntati da tranche di archivio che rievocano le tante collaborazioni di cui Jackson è stato protagonista come quelle con Paul McCartney e con Diana Ross. Sono tutti lì per testimoniare il loro amore per Michael e per ricordare al mondo la grandezza del suo talento, in un film che è il secondo capitolo di un dittico iniziato nel 2012 con “Bad 25”, in cui il regista afroamericano commemorava l'uscita di un altro grande album di Jackson, “Bad”, narrandone la genesi e il cammino produttivo.

Viva Lucha! Season 2 Episode 07
[We open to a HDTV flatscreen with footage of Meiko Yamazaki looking out at the VL Arena crowd while standing on the entrance ramp, the legendary pink belt around her waist, and her eyes watering up as the crowd give her an incredibly warm welcome with the Japanese contingent chanting "MEIKO! MEIKO!". Hardcore Viva Lucha fans probably recognize the footage from the second episode of the first season. We pull back to see that the TV is set up inside the office of Emanuel Gonzalo Carranza. Then we pan over to see the person watching this footage, with a sad look on his face, is the Viva Lucha el jefe himself!]
EGC: ...
[We cut back to the TV and see Meiko giving an embrace to a young fan some may remember, little Heather, then posing with the girl before turning to the cameras and saying something that is picked up by the mics.]
MY: I promise Heather that after I win tonight I will let her wear the pink belt and take a picture with it!
[A cut back to Carranza who chuckles with a little smile.]
*RING*
[EGC's face contorts with annoyance and perhaps RAGE at the disturbance. He picks up a remote and pauses his VL rewatch and then answers his phone with a dark look on his face.]
EGC: This had BETTER be worth my time, Hector! I am very busy right now!
[We cut to inside a car parked on a quiet street in a suburb just outside of Dallas, Texas. We see Hector Moreno making a scared face while holding his cellphone.]
HM: S-si, el jefe. I just wanted to update you on the assignment you gave me.
[He winces as angry words come through the phone.]
HM: W-well, I have not located the ah.. document yet.. But, I did find out that the man in possession of it is indeed Mr. McAllister.
[More angry noises and Hector takes a hard swallow.]
HM: S-si. He is known as Pinhead. Forgive me for ...
[Moreno closes his eyes as more angry barking emits from his phone and he nods his head.]
HM: Y-yes. Not only am I searching for him but I have Juan and Martin doing so as well.
[Hector listens but shakes his head.]
HM: We could not get Luis on this job, he is too deep on that other matter.
[Moreno nods.]
HM: Si.
[Hector sighs, slightly more relieved as he slides down in his car seat a bit. We cut back to EGC's office and Carranza who nods his head.]
EGC: Good job, Hector. You and the boys keep me updated. Excellent. Bye.
[Carranza hangs up and sets his phone down while picking the remote control back up. We hear the crowd chanting "MEIKO! MEIKO!" and Carranza's frown becomes a sad smile as he leans back in his chair before we fade to a black screen with white text that reads...]
"EGC Inc. & Tradicion Lucha Libre Present"
[And then red, green & white screens flash with silhouetted figures leaping off of turnbuckles while this theme song (https://youtu.be/f-Tx8JPHa6A) plays and then we get the logo..]
VIVA LUCHA!
[We cut to the packed VL Arena in El Centro, California with a rowdy crowd on hand! Shots of excited fans fill our screen before we go to the announce table where two familiar faces greet us.]
JI: Hola, everyone and welcome to VIVA LUCHA! I'm Jose Ignacio and this is my broadcast partner, Diego Hernandez!
DH: People, Jose only claims to be my partner because he wants to fabricate a tie to the prestige and honor of my family, the GREATEST family in the world, the Hernandez family! Do not listen to him, he is really more my lowly sidekick.
[Jose rolls his eyes and chuckles.]
JI: What a show we have for you tonight, our last show before the season two finale!
DH: Season Dos has just flown by!
JI: I suspect a man in Missouri would say otherwise.. But nonetheless.. Tonight there will be a debut by a trios team that has been lighting up the wrestling world, PAINTED FREAKS will be in the ring tonight against Los Titanes del Rudo! Also making their debut tonight is Class of 2011's LUCY DAGLISH as she goes one on one against VALERIE BLOOM!
DH: Not only that, Jose, I have heard from my good friend from the United Kingdom, "The Duke" WILLIAM PHILLIPS, that he will be going one on one against the CYBORG KING!
JI: That singles match will indeed be happening tonight. But there is something VERY special happening tonight in our opening match and in our main event! Our opening match is a twelve person battle royal for a CHANCE OF A LIFETIME! All twelve competitors have never fought in Viva Lucha before and the lone competitor left standing not only has a chance to compete in Viva Lucha potentially in an ongoing status in the future.. They will earn a spot in our main event which is a SIX MAN LADDER MATCH with an opportunity to face FURY on our Season Finale with the VIVA LUCHA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP on the line!
DH: It really is a chance of a lifetime, Jose!
JI: Si! Lets go to the ring and our ring announcer Fernando Rodriguez!
[We cut to the ring, a ring filled with all manner of competitors, and Fernando Rodriguez who is dressed in a purple tuxedo jacket and pants with a green sash around his waist, a highlighter blue shirt with a green bowtie and mustard yellow dress shoes.]
DH: We seriously need to buy Fernando a new wardrobe.
[Fernando smiles.]
FR: Ladies and gentlemen, our first match of the night is a TWELVE PERSON BATTLE ROYAL with a chance to compete in Viva Lucha and a spot in our main event tonight on the line!
[HUGE POP]
FR: Introducing the competitors! From Rythm City... Here is.. SENOR TAMBOURINE!
[A luchador in a yellow mask with white trim around the eye holes and mouth, dressed in a brown vest with baggy orange pants and red ring boots, shakes a tambourine in the air while dancing.]
FR: From the Serpent's Den.. Here is.. LA SERPIENTE!
[A luchadora with black hair and a green snake themed mask and green snake themed gear, does a snake like dance in the ring while hissing a lot.]
FR: From Hoopsville.. Here is... SLAM DUNK!
[A VERY short luchador, borderline mini height, wearing white with red trim basketball shirt and shorts with sneakers on and a mask that looks like an orange basketball, pretends to dribble an invisible ball in the ring and then go for a shot at an imaginary basket.]
FR: From Where The End Always Is.. Here is... DISINTEGRATION!
[There is actually a POP from the crowd as this chubby luchador wearing a white kabuki themed mask with messy hair in the style of Robert Smith of the Cure hanging over it, while dressed in a black button up shirt and black tights and ring boots, does a Robert Smith-ish dance which draws an even BIGGER POP for him.]
FR: From Rancho Azul... Here is... EL CABALLO DE TROYA AZUL!
[Another POP from the crowd because this is a very LARGE and MUSCULAR masked man wearing a blue mask that covers his entire head, blue tights and white ring boots. He does a small fist pump but otherwise is very calm.]
FR: From the US of A... Formerly from the GIRL FIGHT and FFN PRO promotions.. Here is... MISS LIBERTY!
[The former FFN Pro and Girl Fight competitor, with her American flag themed mask and gear, gives a motion to the crowd and gets a HUGE RECOGNITION POP!]
FR: From Puebla, Mexico... Here is... ROMEO GOMEZ!
[The Mexican wrestler, with a thick mustache and curly black hair and dressed in red trunks with pink ring boots, blows kisses at the crowd.]
FR: From the Land of Hot Air.. Here is... TOOTZ!
[An overweight woman wearing a black body suit with black ring botos and a black mask waves at the crowd.]
FR: From Minneapolis, MN.. Formerly from the GIRL FIGHT and FFN PRO promotions.. Here is... SANDY BREWSTER!
[A HUGE RECOGNITION POP as the butchy and strong looking female competitor with short brown hair and baggy black MMA styled shorts with a gray "TUFF GRRL" t-shirt raises a fist in the air and flashes an appreciative smile for the crowd response.]
FR: From the Concession Stands.. Here is... MACHO NACHO!
[A man wearing a nacho themed mask that covers his entire head and wearing an all over orange body suit with yellow trunks and brown ring boots and gloves, jumps around the ring before throwing both fists up in the air.]
FR: From HAWTSVILLE... Formerly from the GIRL FIGHT and FFN PRO promotions.. Here is... "HAWT STUFF" KELLY MYERS!
[A MASSIVE RECOGNITION POP for the BEAUTIFUL Myers who glares at the crowd.]
FR: And FINALLY.. From the Farm.. Here is... MR. GOBBLE GOBBLE!
[It is a man in a head to toe Turkey costume who does a chicken dance in the ring.]
DH: Jose, some of these losers are very obvious misfits.
JI: Si.
DH: But.. Miss Liberty! Sandy Brewster! Kelly Myers! These are somewhat well known competitors!
JI: It says a lot about the level of competition in Viva Lucha that even competitors long time wrestling fans will recognize have to go through a match just to get a CHANCE to compete here in the VL Arena!
[Fernando flees the ring and then rings the bell.]
*DING*
********************************************************** 12 Person Chance Of A Lifetime Battle Royal: Señor Tambourine, La Serpiente, Slam Dunk, Disintegration, El Caballo de Troya Azul, Miss Liberty, Romeo Gomez, Tootz, Sandy Brewster, Macho Nacho, Kelly Myers, Mr. Gobble Gobble **********************************************************
[At the start the male competitors all rushed El Caballo de Troya Azul while the ladies all rushed Tootz, the two biggest competitors in the match! El Caballo sent luchadors stumbling away as he hit them with HUGE right hand punches, but Tootz did not fare as well and soon was sent tumbling over the ropes to the floor outside!]
FR: TOOTZ HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
JI: I guess she was full of hot air, eh?
DH: Que?! Were you trying to tell a joke, Jose?!
JI: N-no.. Just an uh.. Observation. Yeah...
[Senor Tambourine and Romeo Gomez began fighting each other with gusto while El Caballo was running roughshod over Slam Dunk, Macho Nacho and Disintegration. Meanwhile Mr. Gobble Gobble attacked Sandy Brewster from behind which turned the ENTIRE crowd against him! But soon the crowd was MARKING OUT because Miss Liberty and Kelly Myers joined Sandy Brewser in taking it to Mr. Gobble Gobble and then the three of them worked together to send the turkey fighter over the ropes to the floor outside!]
[HUGE POP]
FR: MR. GOBBLE GOBBLE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
JI: Apparently turkeys can fly after all!
DH: What are you doing, Jose?! Why are you trying jokes?! This is not like you!
[Senor Tambourine broke away from fighting Romeo Gomez and joined the effort against El Caballo. Meanwhile Kelly Myers and Miss Liberty began doing battle with one another and Sandy Brewster was dealing with Romeo Gomez who was trying to give her a kiss?! Sandy was NOT into that at all and stunned the mustached man with hard shots before surprising him by scooping him up in her arms and tossing him out of the ring!]
[GIANT POP]
FR: ROMEO GOMEZ HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Crowd: SANDY! SANDY! SANDY! SANDY!
JI: Listen to this crowd! They are really getting behind Sandy Brewster tonight!
DH: Yes! Talk like that, Jose! Not the weird stuff you were trying out.
JI: Lo siento.
DH: It was as if you were working on jokes to impress a girl or something.
JI: Wh-what?! I never said anything about Bri-
DH: DON'T SAY IT JOSE!
JI: AIEEEEEE!
[El Caballo rammed Disintegration and Slam Dunk against each other and then clotheslined Macho Nacho over the ropes and out of the ring!]
FR: MACHO NACHO HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
[Kelly Myers was choking Miss Liberty against the ropes while Sandy Brewster was goading Senor Tambourine to do battle with her! He was not feeling that but was having to defend himself when she began taking it to him with hard forearms and kicks! Meanwhile El Caballo sent Disintegration across the ring with an atomic drop before grabbing Slam Dunk and TOSSING him over the ropes and to the floor outside!]
FR: SLAM DUNK HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
JI: El Caballo de Troya Azul has some SERIOUS strength!
DH: He is HUGE too! But Jose...
JI: Si?
DH: Where is La Serpiente?!
[The masked snake woman has somehow avoided combat by hiding in a corner all this time. She continues to watch as Kelly Myers and Miss Liberty struggle to throw the other out of the ring. And when both are leaning against the ropes that is when La Serpiente springs into action, races over and.. DUMPS BOTH OF THEM OUT OF THE RING!]
[WHAT?! POP]
FR: KELLY MYERS and MISS LIBERTY HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED!
JI: She was waiting for the right moment to strike, Diego.
DH: The ruda is strong in this one!
[La Serpiente retreats back to a corner and watches as El Caballo slams Disintegration's head repeatedly into turnbuckles! Senor Tambourine is getting fed up with Sandy Brewster attacking him and he SNAPS and KNEES HER IN THE MIDSECTION! The fans BOO him out of the building! Tambourine waves off the fans angrily before pulling Brewster up and hitting a forearm across her upper back which sends her stumbling against the ropes. Tambourine does a dance, pretends to shake an imaginary tambourine which draws even LOUDER BOOS before charging at Sandy.. Who ducks down and BACK BODYDROPS THE MASKED MAN OUT OF THE RING!]
[MASSIVE POP]
FR: SENOR TAMBOURINE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Crowd: SANDY! SANDY! SANDY! SANDY!
JI: What a showing we are seeing from Sandy Brewster here tonight!
DH: She could end up winning this battle royal, Jose!
JI: And then we would have a luchadora competing for a shot at the Viva Lucha Heavyweight CHampionship later tonight!
DH: Gender walls could come crashing down tonight in Viva Lucha!
Crowd: SANDY! SANDY! SANDY! SANDY!
[Disintegration uses a thumb to the eye to blind El Caballo which gives the masked man a chance to catch his breath. Meanwhile La Serpiente jumps Sandy from behind and the crowd BOOS LIKE NO TOMORROW! The masked snake woman hisses at the fans before attacking Brewster more and then attempting to whip her to the ropes but Sandy reverses the whip and pulls La Serpiente to her and.. HIP TOSSES HER OVER THE ROPES TO THE FLOOR OUTSIDE!]
[SUPER DUPER POP]
FR: LA SERPIENTE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Crowd: SANDY! SANDY! SANDY! SANDY!
JI: This is turning into a star making night for Sandy Brewster here in Viva Lucha!
DH: Do not speak so quickly, Jose!
[True to Diego's doom prophesizing form, as Sandy raises a fist to acknowledge the cheers from the fans she is oblivious to Disintegration rushing up behind her! He grabs her then TOSSES HER OVER THE ROPES TO THE FLOOR OUTSIDE!]
[SUPER DUPER BURN IN HELL BOOS]
FR: SANDY BREWSTER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
JI: CARAMBA!
DH: You must always be alert in these kinds of matches.
[Sandy is DEVASTATED outside the ring, crying in disappointment and frustration on the floor outside. Meanwhile, Disintegration tries to appease the crowd with his Robert Smith dance but they BOO HIM LIKE HE IS THE WORST WAR CRIMINAL OF ALL TIME! The Cure themed fighter pays too much attention to the crowd though because a HUGE muscular El Caballo gets to his feet behind him and shakes his head. The boos turn to CHEERS when the blue masked man spins Disintegration around and DECKS him with a big right hand! He follows it up with another big right hand before whipping his foe to the rope and hitting a HUGE BIG BOOT that sends Disintegration FLYING OVER THE ROPES TO THE FLOOR OUTSIDE!]
[BIG POP]
FR: DISINTEGRATION HAS BEEN ELIMINATED! The winner of a CHANCE OF A LIFETIME... EL CABALLO DE TROYA AZUL!
JI: What an opportunity this man has just won himself! Not only does he have a chance to fight in Viva Lucha going forward but now he gets to fight in our main event tonight with a shot at the Viva Lucha Heavyweight Championship on the line!
DH: That big boot sure looked familiar to me, Jose. So did those right hands.
JI: Really?
DH: But I can not place from where...
[The big masked man scrambles out of the ring and stops Sandy Brewster from leaving to the back. He motions for her to climb inside the ring with him. They both climb inside the ring, confusion and disappointment on her face, and then el Caballo grabs her right hand and LIFTS IT UP IN THE AIR while motioning towards her!]
[MASSIVE POP]
Crowd: SANDY! SANDY! SANDY! SANDY!
[El Caballo claps his hands and nods his head while motioning towards Brewster. The "Tuff Girl" is trying not to cry like a baby as the fans show her LOTS of love!]
Crowd: SANDY! SANDY! SANDY! SANDY!
JI: She may not have won this battle royal but I'm sure with an effort like hers tonight this is not the last we will see of Sandy Brewster!
[El Caballo leaves the ring so Brewster can get ALL of the love from the crowd as an emotional Sandy nods her head appreciatively to the fans who chant her name.]
Crowd: SANDY! SANDY! SANDY! SANDY!
[We fade to the HDTV in EGC's office again. This time we see Midori Masamoto hitting a high kick upside Meiko Yamazaki's head from Viva Lucha Season 1 Episode 4. Yamazaki doubles over while holding her head in pain and Masamoto springs into action...]
*GASP*
[We cut to el jefe, EGC himself, with a very regretful, guilty and sad expression on his face. He winces from something on screen.]
EGC: What was I thinking?!
[Cut back to the TV and Carranza is celebrating wildly while little Heather, the young fan most everyone has forgotten from VL's first season, is bawling her eyes out while her mother comforts her when...]
*RING*
[Back to Carranza who scrambles for the remote, pauses his VL rewatch and then glances at the cellphone before answering.]
EGC: Before you get going with that motormouth of yours, Juan, know that I am VERY busy at the moment! So just tell me what you have discovered quickly so we can both get about our business.
[Emanuel listens for a moment before a look of surprise comes over his face.]
EGC: You are where?! ... Why would he be there?!
[Carranza's surprise becomes confusion and then outrage!]
EGC: Juan, you are telling me that you went all the way to THAT place looking for Pinhead, did NOT find him there, and why would you find him there of all places, and decided to call me to tell me that you have NADA to show for your efforts so far?!
[...]
EGC: ....
[His face contorts in rage.]
EGC: CALLATE! If you were not the magnificent MALDITO that you are at what you normally do I would have you making coffee and running lunch orders for the warehouse! Listen to me VERY carefully, Juan... Only call me if you have found Pinhead. Understood?

EGC: Now get back to work! And I better not hear about you going to THOSE places again!
[With an angry sigh Carranza turns off his phone. He shakes his head before picking up the remote and going back to his VL rewatch. We cut to backstage where we see the throne chair made of electronic junk with the King of Cyborgs, Cyborg King, sitting upon it with his crown of wires, metal and junk upon his head and the Viva Lucha Trios Championships, one around his waist and the other two sitting on his lap. Cy01 and Cy02 stand on either side of him. The King seems to be in deep thought when something catches his attention. Cy-Force become aware as well and they strike defensive formations.]
"Where is she?!"
[Professor Where walks up on the scene with an angry expression on his face.]
PW: What have you done with Mary Sue?!
[Cy-Force are ready to spring into action but Cyborg King chuckles and motions for them to stand down. He leans back in his throne with a dark smirk which irritates the second Professor Where.]
PW: For God's sake, man! Tell me something about her! Is she safe?! Is she here?!
[Cyborg King strokes his chin then points at the Professor.]
CK: I am no man.
[Where looks ready to leap onto the cyborg monarch but the king continues.]
CK: You... Not man either.
[Professor Where suddenly looks nervous.]
PW: I.. How could you know? I mean..
[He shakes it off.]
PW: I'm not here to discuss myself. I want to know about Mary Sue!
[Cyborg King strokes his chin before pointing at the Professor again.]
CK: Other worlder, the once woman is perfectly fine.
[Where is taken aback.]
PW: "Once woman"?!
[The King of the Cyborgs smiles.]
CK: I have a fight to prepare for and you have a fight to prepare for as well, other worlder. But find peace because before tonight is over the once woman will come to you.
[Professor Where is flabbergasted and looks more upset than before but with a motion from the Cyborg King, Cy-Force spring in front of their monarch and prepare to move Where by force. The Professor considers taking them on but then sighs and nods his head.]
PW: Alright, Cyborg King. You say she will come to me then I will wait for her to come. If she doesn't come.. I will come for you!
[The Professor begins to walk away when..]
CK: Just remember, other worlder..
[Where looks back at the king of all Cyborgs.]
CK: I am not the king who broke her.
[Cyborg King flashes a little smile as Where walks off. We cut to inside the ring where Fernando is standing by.]
FR: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
[Music plays, (this music: https://youtu.be/B4dVbFhDmvQ ), and the crowd POP!]
FR: Introducing first.. From Glasgow, Scotland... Part of the Class of 2011 stable.. Here is... LUCY DAGLISH!
[Running out onto the entrance ramp is the cute faced Scot with a green mo-hawk and dressed in a torn up dark blue t-shirt and dark gray tights with black ring boots on. She SPAZZES OUT, jumping around and flailing her arms around, before making her way to the ring.]
JI: Lucy Daglish seems fired up tonight as she makes her debut in Viva Lucha!
DH: I thought we would see some of her comrades with her but she appears to be alone, Jose!
JI: Well, Daglish has always been notoriously frustrating to be around apparently.
DH: Maybe it is her hair.
[Daglish climbs into the ring and spazzes out some more to a POP and then the music fades and new music plays, (this music: https://youtu.be/kuIG2vobCRg ), and the crowd LEAP TO THEIR FEET!]
FR: And her opponent... Part of the Class of 2010 stable.. Here is... VALERIE BLOOM!
[HUGE POP as the GORGEOUS Class of 2010-er walks out onto the entrance ramp wearing her pink and purple colored ring gear. She isn't alone though, all her Class of 2010 stable mates follow behind her dressed in their Class of 2010 hoodies and jeans. Juno Takayama limps behind them all.]
JI: Well Valerie definitely has support with her tonight!
DH: I think this says a lot about why the Class of 2010 has historically had the advantage over the Class of 2011, Jose.
JI: They are definitely a tighter unit with stronger bonds for sure.
[Valerie climbs into the ring which draws a HUGE POP from the male fans who enjoyed that way too much! Anna Williams, Teresa Villa, Harriett Morrison and Juno Takayama yell encouragements to Valerie as she prepares to fight. Lucy is just spazzing out in a corner and yelling stuff about "anarchy" while the pink masked referee waits for Fernando to leave the ring before calling for the bell.]
*DING*
********************************************************** Singles Match: Valerie Bloom [Class of 2010] vs Lucy Daglish [Class of 2011] **********************************************************
[Both women go to lock up, or so Valerie thinks, but Lucy thinks they're going for a hug and tries to embrace Bloom. Valerie is all weirded out by this and complains to the official. Daglish looks confused and then shrugs and goes to lock up. valerie controls Lucy early with headlocks. Daglish tries to get out but keeps getting put back into them. When Lucy finally does escape she checks on her mo-hawk before giving a little speech about anarchy and non-conformity and says she is going to impress the big guy.]
DH: What is she going on about, Jose?!
JI: No se, Diego! "The Big Guy" could be any number of people!
[Daglish attacks Valerie more aggressively and Val is kind of overwhelmed by the renewed spirit and vigor of her opponent! Lucy gets her in a corner and hits several shoulder blocks to the midsection before going for a suplex out of the corner but Bloom escapes and goes for a roll up from behind but only gets a 2 count! Lucy goes for several swinging clotheslines and punches but Valerie avoids them and catches Daglish with some hip tosses and after an armdrag tries to control Daglish with an armbar. But something distracts Valerie..]
DH: Jose, look!
JI: What the?!
[Racing from the back comes Cristiana, a chair in her hand, as she runs up behind the unsuspecting Teresa Villa and...]
*CLANGSMACK*
[WHAT THE POP]
JI: Cristiana has just hit Villa outside the ring with a steel chair!
DH: The Iberian Rivalry will never die!
[Anna jumps ontop of Villa to protect her from any more shots while Harriett and Juno go after Cristiana. The Portugese swings at Morrison and knocks her over with a glancing blow and then jabs the edge of the chair into Juno's bad knee, which sends Takayama stumbling to the floor!]
DH: She is good with that chair, Jose!
JI: She sure picked her shots well, taking advantage of Juno's injured knee from La Reina de el Centro tournament!
[Cristiana lifts up the chair to attack Anna, who is protecting Villa, when...]
*FLIES*
*SMACKACLANGASMASH*
[HOLY MOLY RAVIOLI POP]
JI: CARAMBA! VALERIE DOVE FROM THE RING APRON ONTO CRISTIANA TO SAVE WILLIAMS FROM THAT CHAIR SHOT!
DH: But I think the chair caught her upside the head, Jose!
[Indeed, Valerie is loopy after eating that chair. Cristiana gets to her feet only to have Harriett grab a hold of her and...]
*SMACKATHUD*
[DAMN POP]
JI: What a SPINEBUSTER by Morrison on Cristiana right there on the floor!
DH: Caramba!
[Pink Mask watches the goings ons and starts a count, but Lucy climbs to the top turnbuckle before...]
*FLIES*
*CRASHATHUD*
[HOLY MOLY POP]
JI: HIGH CROSS BODY PLANCHAAAHHHHHH! High Cross Body Plancha FROM THE TOP TO THE FLOOR PLANCHAAAAAAIEEEEEEE!
DH: Madre y Dios!
[The crowd is MARKING OUT after Lucy plancha'd Harriett for attacking Cristiana! Pink Mask shakes her head then continues the count while Valerie stumbles around holding her head and Lucy struggles to her feet. The official gets to 10 and calls for the bell.]
*DING DING DING*
[BOOS]
FR: Both competitors have been counted out! This match is ruled a DRAW!
[BIG BOOS]
[Anna helps Villa up while asking Bloom what she was thinking leaping into that chair by Cristiana. Val holds her head and shrugs while Juno limps over and helps Morrison up. Lucy helps Cristi to her feet but the Portugese shoves her stablemate away and yells angrily at Teresa Villa.]
JI: What a crazy scene this match has turned into! But right now we are going to take a very special look at some new faces coming to Viva Lucha soon in Season three!
[We fade to a shot of a dark forest at night as music plays, (this music: https://youtu.be/0BsSDtvXFwI ). We get glimpses of a tall Sasquatch themed masked luchador walking around. Then quick shots of a lizard man themed masked luchador running around before we get a shot of a red bird themed masked luchador jumping from one tree to another close by. Then all three of the masked men stand in a clearing and put their fists together and text appears as the picture freezes.]
"ALL MONSTER ATTACK are coming to VIVA LUCHA!"
[We fade back to the ring where instead of the horribly dressed Fernando there is a vision of unmatched beauty and hotness in a red dress that is hugging every God gifting curve melting viewers' minds like butter on a skillet. Oh yeah, it's MARIA JUAREZ!]
[SUPER DUPER HOW CAN THIS WOMAN BE SO MIND BLOWINGLY HOT POP]
MJ: Hola, everyone!
[MASSIVE EARTH SHAKING POP]
MJ: Welcome to my first of TWO in ring interviews tonight!
[WE GET TO SEE YOU IN PERSON MORE THAN ONCE TONIGHT?! WE ARE NOT WORTHY POP]
MJ: First I would like to introduce the number one contender for the International Light Heavyweight Championship! Please welcome... POCHO COCODRILO ZARZAMORA!
[Music plays, (this music: https://youtu.be/OrykbkAM1-w ), and fans JUMP TO THEIR FEET MARKING OUT! Out from the back, wearing a red Costa Rican national team jersey on, blue jeans and sneakers, and makes his way to the ring giving out high fives to fans as he does.]
JI: PCZ won the gauntlet match to become the number one contender for the International Light Heavyweight Championship a couple of shows ago. This will be his second chance to challenge for this title!
DH: Crocodile boy has never shown he has what it really takes to win this championship, Jose. I am still not convinced he can do it.
[PCZ climbs into the ring and gives Maria a handshake and pumps a fist to the fans who MARK OUT!]
MJ: Gracias for coming here, Pocho! Now let me introduce the man you will be challenging for the International Light Heavyweight Championship! Please welcome...
[Maria blushes a little bit.]
MJ: SENOR CLOAK DOS!
[Music plays, (this music: https://youtu.be/B6TIuH91CSA ), and the crowd goes BEYOND SUPER DUPER NUCLEAR IFINITE ATOMIC ROCK N ROLL ELECTRIC GUTAR BOMB INSANE!]
DH: CARAMBA! They are SO loud!
JI: It's because of this man, Diego!
[Walking out onto the entrance ramp, wearing a black mask that covers his entire face and head and has cherry colored eye visors and cherry colored writing on the forehead that reacs "SCII" comes the TLL International Light Heavyweight Champion, SCD, dressed in a cherry colored "Cherry Cola: Simply the best!" T-shirt, blue jeans and cherry colored Converse sneakers. Oh yeah, he also has the International Light Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder and is embracing fas as he makes his way to the ring!]
Crowd: VIVA! VAMANOS! ARRIBA! VIVA! VAMANOS! ARRIBA!
DH: I would like to take this moment to inform all the viewers at home, Jose, that this interview is being brought to you by CHERRY COLA!
JI: Cool and refreshing, Cherry Cola!
DH: Simply the best!
Crowd: VIVA! VAMANOS! ARRIBA! VIVA! VAMANOS! ARRIBA!
[SCD climbs into the ring and pumps a fist to the crowd.]
Crowd: VIVA! VAMANOS! ARRIBA! VIVA! VAMANOS! ARRIBA!
[Then he shakes PCZ's hand and then takes Maria's hand and gives it a masked kiss before bowing to her and she blushes BIG time!]
[WOWZA KISS TO THE HAND POP]
Crowd: VIVA! VAMANOS! ARRIBA! VIVA! VAMANOS! ARRIBA!
DH: Are the rumors true, Jose? Are Dos and Maria dating?
JI: That's the rumor.. No confirmation on if it's true yet.
[Maria is kind of GLOWING as she smiles at the crowd while Fernando hands both PCZ and SCD microphones and then they begin.]
MJ: Muchas gracias, Señor Cloak Dos, for joining us tonight for this interview and congratulations on your successful title defense in Japan recently.
[HUGE POP]
SCD: Gracias, Maria, and it is always an honor and pleasure to be interviewed by you.
[PCZ chuckles as he watches Maria and Dos tip toe around a very obvious elephant in the room. Maria recovers though, she's a professional.]
MJ: Now gentlemen, our next show is the SEASON TWO FINALE!
[BIG POP]
MJ: And not only will you both be competing against each other one on one with the International Light Heavyweight Championship on the line.. I can announce that our boss, Señor Carranza, has decreed that since the first match between both of you main evented our very first episode of Viva Lucha ever.. It shall also main event our season two finale!
[MASSIVE POP from the crowd! Dos and Zarzamora nod at one another.]
MJ: With that news out of the way.. There is so much on the line in this match! The championship, the pressure of the main event on our biggest show ever and...
[She turns towards the masked Costa Rican challenger.]
MJ: For you PCZ, there is the issue of redeeming your loss on our first main event and showing your growth here in Viva Lucha.
[Pocho nods his head before replying.]
PCZ: First off, Maria, I want to say that this match on the season finale is the biggest match of my entire life to date. Not only because it is another chance at this prestigious championshp but because it is against my hero, Señor Cloak Dos!
[BIG POP]
PCZ: See, when I was younger and I first saw footage of this incredible champion fighting in Phoenix Valley Wrestling it inspired me.
[PCZ holds up his hand and the camera zooms in on a tattoo that reads "Viva! Vamnos! Arriba!"]
PCZ: I even got this tattoo to help inspire me every day when I train and every time I fight in this ring. You are an inspiration to not only all the fans here and watching around the world on the Fantastic Fight Network.. You are my inspiration and it will always be the highest honor to face you in the ring.
[MASSIVE HUGE APPLAUSE as SCD pats his chest and bows towards PCZ. Dos is about to reply when Zarzamora holds up a hand.]
PCZ: So please know that I have the highest of respect for you and that is why I am going to give very last bit of life and breath that I have to defeat you for the International Light Heavyweight Championship!
[MIXED POP]
PCZ: I HAVE to defeat you to prove to not only myself and my family and my country that all the sacrifice that has gone into this career is for something special but also because by defeating you I will be paying you the greatest compliment that I can because to conquer a champion such as yourself would require SUCH an effort that it will be nearly impossible! To rise above and beyond a level I have never reached before would show how much I respect you!
[BIGGER MIXED REACTION OF BOOS AND POPS]
JI: Wow!
DH: Crocodile boy talks brave but we shall see, Jose.
[Maria is taken aback a bit and turns towards Dos who nods his head before replying.]
SCD: Pocho, gracias for the kind words. As for telling me you will bring everything you have and that you will fight with all of your being to defeat me... Gracias for this as well!
[CONFUSED POP]
SCD: To hear this after we learn that we will be main eventing the season finale is everything I have yearned to hear. I want nothing more than to give all these good people here in El Centro and around the world watching at home the very best sporting fight they have ever seen!
[BIG POP]
SCD: Pocho, you are the best young talent in our sport! I look forward to the opportunity to compete against you once again and to show everyone the pinnacle of what lucha libre can be with a clean, sporting contest unlike any other!
[Dos holds out his hand towards Zarzamora.]
SCD: Muchas gracias, Pocho, for creating this opportunity and may the better luchador on the night win!
[PCZ nods his head and takes SCD's hand and the two masked men shake hands and have an embrace.]
[HUGE RESPECT POP]
DH: UGH! So they are vowing to put on the most boring main event they can?
JI: That is NOT what they are vowing to do, Diego.
DH: It sure sounds like it!
[Maria flashes a huge smile and applauds with the crowd before speaking.]
MJ: Gracias, gentlemen!
[PCZ shakes Maria's hand again and nods at Dos before pumping a fist to the fans while SCD gives Maria another masked kiss to her hand and motioning to the crowd.]
JI: What a main event that is going to be for our season finale!
DH: BLEGH!
[We fade to inside EGC's office yet again but this time it is not a HDTV screen we see. It is the screen of a laptop with a browser open. Inside the browser is a picture of Meiko Yamazaki wearing a tan leather jacket over a pink button up blouse posing for a picture with a fan at a mall somewhere with a smile on her face. We pan from the screen to the face of Emanuel Gonzalo Carranza who sighs sadly. He is totally not prepared for...]
*RING*
[Carranza jumps in his chair, startled by the phone. He grabs his cellphone, glances at it and then answers with a dark expression.]
EGC: Where did you find him, Martin?
[A moment passes before an incredulous look appears on Carranza's face.]
EGC: Why are you calling me if you did not find him, Martin?! Did Juan not relay my message to you?
[A more incredulous look appears on his face.]
EGC: You thought that was meant only for Juan?!
[Emanuel runs a hand over his face then takes a deep breath.]
EGC: OK. Listen then, I do not want any of you calling me again today UNLESS you have found him. Understood?
[....]
EGC: Good. NOW GO! Find him!
[Carranza hangs up the phone while shaking his head.]
EGC: How can they be so good at everything else and so inept at finding someone like Pin-
*RING*
[His eyes turn immediately to rage and he picks up the cellphone without looking at who's calling.]
EGC: WHAT DID I SAY?! I TOLD YOU TO-
[He stops abruptly and his rage is replaced with confusion.]
EGC: Guillermo?! What is it?!
[He listens attentively then a slight concern comes over his eyes.]
EGC: You said the security cameras caught this?
[He listens for a few moments and then begins clicking around on his laptop while nodding his head.]
EGC: I am going to open the footage you sent me now. Si. I will get back with you.
[Carranza hangs up and then makes a few more clicks on the laptop before we cut to the screen to see a grainy video stream whose quality only a security camera can bring the table. On screen, Disintegration, not so fresh after the battle royal earlier, can be seen outside being treated like a pinball by two rather large men dressed in ripped blue jeans and black masks. The two men are taking turns swinging mighty fists as Disintegration stumbles around, barely keeping his feet. As the two men continue the onslaught, it becomes apparent there are two other men hanging out near by, virtually off camerea. The one has jet black hair cut to the shoulder and is also wearing ripped jeans and black t-shirt. The other gentlemen is dressed in a long black trenchcoat, his skin the color of fresh snow and his head having recently been the recipent of a close shave. His identity just out of reach.
The footage continues rolling as one of the big masked men grabs ahold of Disintegration, pinning his arms behind his back as the younger of the other two men step forward. As the older men in the trenchcoat lifts his arm, the masked men shove Disintegration right into the waiting arms of the younger man. Without missing a beat, the younger man spins Disintegration into an inverted facelock... and crushes him into the unforgiving concrete with a facebuster suplex!!!
The man in the trenchcoat claps in approval, continuing to bark out orders. Pulling out from his pockets, he tosses two cans of spray paint over to the twin towers. After getting their instructions, the two masked men bend down and begin to use the spray paint on the limp body of Disintegration. One man sprays a giant orange circle over Disintegration's back as the other man sprays a horizonatal line in the middle of the circle.
With the deed done, the man in the trenchcoat motions that it is time to exit and the group wonders off camera, leaving Disintegration unconcious and covered in paint before we cut back to an amused Carranza who nods his head.]
EGC: Interesting.
[We cut away to inside the ring where Fernando is standing by.]
FR: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a TRIOS match!
[POP]
FR: Already in the ring here are the team of Monkey Martinez! El Jose! and Radical Skater! Known collectively as... LOS TITANES DEL RUDO!
[We see a beefy Mexican man with a lot of facial hair and brown ring gear with a brown skull cap with monkey ears on them, another big Mexican man dressed in black trunks and with short black hair and a very thin goatee and then a Mexican man dressed in ripped jeans, tattered blue t-shirt and a mask with a pink mo-hawk on it. Oh and the masked man has a mini version of himself with him and.. he may be doing skateboarding poses while he stands on the back of his mini.]
[BOOS]
JI: I can't believe Skateboard is still with Radical Skater.
DH: How else is Radical Skater going to get around, Jose? He has to have his skateboard!
[Suddenly music, (this music: https://youtu.be/VSCgcv8CyZU ), plays over the PA and fans LEAP TO THEIR FEET!]
FR: And their opponents.. Making their DEBUT in Viva Lucha! They are.. JUSTICE! DOOM! and WOLF! Collectively known as... THE PAINTED FREAKS!
[A MASSIVE POP as the three face painted genetic freaks of nature walk out and shout to the fans who GO NUTS!]
JI: Listen to this crowd, Diego! When rumors began making the rounds online that the former ASLL Tag Team Champions, The Berserkers, would be making their way here with former Second City Wrestling star, Justice, the buzz really blew up for their arrival here in Viva Lucha!
DH: We will see if they live up to the hype against these titans of Rudoism!
[The Painted Freaks hit the ring apron and pose for the fans who MARK OUT LIKE KIDS! Their opponents aren't as impressed and as the Painted Freaks climb into the ring they jump them and Fernando scrambles out of the ring while the white masked referee calls for the bell.]
*DING*
********************************************************** Trios Match: Painted Freaks (Justice, Doom & Wolf) vs Los Titanes del Rudo (Monkey Martinez, El Jose & Radical Skater) **********************************************************
[Los Titanes del Rudo learned IMMEDIATELY they had made a HUGE mistake as Justice, Doom and Wolf fought back with BIG firepower and had the rudos running for their lives! Justice isolated Monkey Martinez and lit up the rudo's chest with knife edge chops throwing Martinez around the ring before throwing him into the Freaks' corner with an impressive Military Press Slam! Doom climbed in and put quite the beatdown with stomps and hard forearm shots before shoving Martinez to the rudos corner and daring one of Monkey's team mates to climb in. El Jose slapped his chest with indignant rage and scrambled in to go one on one against Doom but soon discovered that he was ill equipped for that battle as Doom threw him around with a big scoop slam, a double underhook slam and then a HUGE gutwrench slam! Doom threw Jose into the Freaks corner and tagged out to Wolf who was happy to get into the fray of battle!]
JI: Wolf is really taking it to El Jose!
DH: Come on El Jose! The pride of rudoism is on the line here!
[A jumping fist drop and a dropkick by Wolf are doing a lot to crush Diego's hopes. After a neckbreaker, Wolf MILITARY PRESSES Jose and tosses him to the rudos corner and motions for Radical Skater to climb in. Radical Skater leaps in and tries to fire himself up before charging right into a big boot! Wolf hits the ropes and charges before FLYING through the air with a LEAPING SHOULDERBLOCK that totally WRECKS Skater! Wolf gives a signal to his partners and they scramble into the ring and charge over and knock Martinez and Jose off the apron! Doom then walks over and lifts Radical Skater onto his shoulders and up in the air while Wolf climbs onto the apron to climb up the turnbuckles when..]
[HOLY MOLY WHAT THE HECK POP]
JI: CARAMBA! Skateboard, Radical Skater's mini, has leaped onto Wolf's back!
DH: Do not do it, Skateboard! How will you take Radical Skater to the back if you get broken?!
[Wolf looks out at the crowd with the masked mini on his back then shrugs and climbs up to the top with the mini on his back!! Then he leaps off...]
*SMACK*
*THUDADOOMABOOM*
[HOLY MOLY RAVIOLI FREAKING NUTS CRAZY DID THAT JUST HAPPEN INCREDIBLE POP]
JI: THE BOOM! WOLF FLEW THROUGH THE AIR WITH SKATEBOARD ON HIS BACK TO HIT THE BERSERKERS FLYING CLOTHESLINE FINISHER!
DH: AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
[Skateboard rolls away while Justice grabs the KO'd Radical Skater and ties his legs up for...]
[MASSIVE POP]
JI: THE JUSTICE LOCK! Justice has Radical Skater in that hold!
[The referee calls for the bell!]
*DING DING DING*
[GIGANTIC POP]
DH: Nooooooo! Rudoism!
FR: Here are your winners.. THE PAINTED FREAKS!
[The three men celebrate and pose for the fans as the crowd MARKS OUT LIKE CRAZY for them!]
JI: What a debut by the Painted Freaks here in Viva Lucha and you have to assume they are making a statement with that win in regards to their intentions for the Viva Lucha Trios Championships!
DH: QUE?! They just got here, Jose! Monarchy would make short work of these.. freaks!
[Justice, Doom, and Wolf stand in the ring as the fans cheer the return of the Painted Freaks. The menacing trio raises their arms celebrating the win and playing the Viva Lucha maniacs. However, speaking of Maniacs ... Out steps the masked legend himself Masked Maniac.]
JI: What is Masked Maniac doing out here?
DH: To further embarrass himself? He has been on quite the cold streak as of late according to rumors running around.
[Masked Maniac has a wireless mic in hand and his arrival has caught the attention of the Painted Freaks.]
MM: Welcome to my humble abode! Of course, you know who I am, I mean who doesn't?
[Doom and Wolf look at one another and shake their collective heads as Justice just stares waiting for Maniac to get to the point.]
MM: You made quick work of your opponents, but Viva Lucha didn't do you any favors. You see they had a great team in the back with nothing to do that would have given you a great match and probably WON!
[Maniac nods eagerly as the Painted Freaks doesn't look amused.]
MM: Yes ... the team of my Masked Bros - Goat Bro, Rey Dia-Bro, and me the Captain!
[Maniac points to himself with emphasis.]
MM: So, I am out here to speak for my Bro's. You all deserve a fight and we are looking to recapture our rightful place at the top of the Viva Lucha trio's division. How about you three step in the ring with us - the Mighty Mask Bros?
[The fans cheer in acceptable as the Painted Freaks look around at each other. However, before they can answer the Captain of the Mighty Masked Bros continues.]
MM: This isn't any match ... No this falls under LUCHA RULES!
[Maniac shouts Lucha Rules for effect.]
MM: One fall ... And of course, I will be representing the Mighty Masked Bros as the captain. It would take a miracle to pin me. It only makes sense right?
[Maniac seems proud of himself.]
MM: What do you three say? Do you have the Painted cajones to step into the right with the hottest trios team in Viva Lucha?
[Wolf and Doom look at Justice who motions for a microphone.]
Justice: You want a match with the Painted Freaks?
[Justice looks over to his partners. Wolf and Doom give their approval as Justice glares back towards Masked Maniac.]
Justice: We accept.
[Masked Maniac pumps his fist in excitement as the fans cheer in approval.]
MM: Most excellent. I know my bros will be ecstatic when I tell them about our match. Don't forget to pick a captain this is LUCHA rules!
[Maniac turns to head back to the back to break the news to his loyal masked amigos. However, the Painted Freaks get the last word as Justice continues to speak.]
Justice: Tell your "amigos" that we hope they have a high pain tolerance. When we enter this ring we mean business. It's all fun and games until that bell rings. Then you will find out that the Painted Freaks don't mess around.
[Maniac turns as the Painted Freaks smile before we fade to inside EGC's office where we see Carranza flashing a big smile, which is a change tonight, while leaning forward in his chair at his desk.]
EGC: I can not tell you how wonderful it is to have this meeting with you both.
[The camera pans over and we see Brian J. Valentine, decked out in a black suit, white dress shirt and a red and black checked tie sitting in front of Caranza's desk. Simo stands behind the chair shirtless, revealing his various scars upon his chest and back, a pair of blue jeans.]
BJV: Mr. Carranza it is a honor to be in this lovely office. I have to say the decor just works for you.
[The smile does not leave EGC's face.]
EGC: I am also very happy to see you took my advice about Fury.
BJV: Well when you're right, you're right. Fury is a monster and if I had let him continue to run unleashed upon Viva Lucha for much longer, I'm not sure we would be having this conversation right now.
[EGC arches an eyebrow.]
EGC: Before tonight is over we will know who shall challenge Fury for the Viva Lucha Heavyweight Championship.
BJV: Does it really matter who wins tonight Mr. Carranza? I am confident that if the past is any indication... well let's just say the path of pain is going to continue and Fury will still be the Heavyweight Champion when all is said and done.
[Carranza nods as he considers Valentine's words before flashing a warm yet sinister smile.]
EGC: Simo, I must say it is a distinct pleasure of mine to see you here. I have long admired your work and am quite a fan!
BVJ: We appreciate that Mr. Carranza. Not many men have sought to add Simo to their roster. Simo is a different animal and he scares quite a few insurance companies.
[Valentine chuckles as Carranza flashes a big smile.]
EGC: Well gentlemen, let me cut to the chase... I know that you are both familiar with a certain promotion in Yokohama, Japan and their sacred arena.. The Graveyard!
BJV: Ah yes, an aptly named arena for YJP.
[Emanuel nods his head.]
EGC: Yes, Yokohama Jisatsu Pro. I have long admired their brand of violence and I have ESPECIALLY had my eyes on a certain championship there.
[He flashes a lusty smile.]
EGC: No crown in all this sport of professional wrestling has had as much blood spilled over them like the famous scarred skull belt.
BJV: The Global Jisatsu Championship.
[Carranza nods his head.]
EGC: Gentlemen, it has taken me some time to arrange this but YJP have agreed to allow one of my arena's competitors to compete for their most prized treasure. There is but one catch... It must be on their sacred grounds, the Graveyard.
BJV: Interesting.
[Carranza gives them a very sincere and direct look.]
EGC: I do not trust an opportunity this important to anyone but you gentlemen. What do you say? Will you go to Yokohama, Japan and steal away this precious jewel and give it a new home in my arena?
BJV: Mr. Carranza, trust me when I say you will not disappointed in the violence this man can bring to the ring. He feels no pain and does not have a shred of remorse for his opponents. When that evening is over my friend, that scarred skull title will belong to Viva Lucha.
[Valentine and Carranza nod at one another with smiles as we fade to backstage where Sandy Brewster, with a sad smile on her face, is in street clothes and walking towards the exit when suddenly..]
"SANDY!!"
[Brewster turns around and her eyes LIGHT UP as Class of 2010's HARRIETT MORRISON runs up to her and the two women embrace!]
SB: Oh My God! I haven't seen you in years!
HM: I know!
[They laugh and smile warmly at each other.]
HM: Sandy, you were AMAZING out there!
SB: Oh... I don't know.
HM: What do you mean, you don't know?! Didn't you hear that crowd?!
[Sandy nods, trying not to cry. She shakes it off and shrugs her shoulders.]
SB: I failed in the end though.
[Harriett looks at her with sad eyes.]
HM: Sandy.
SB: It's OK. I've never had what it takes to make it in the big leagues I guess. Ol' Delacroix knew, that's why she split you and me apart in Girl Fight and put you were you are now.
[Morrison gets a guilty look on her face.]
HM: I wanted Team Tuff to work, Sandy. You taught me so much about everything! Not just wrestling but about life!
[Brewster nods with an appreciative smile.]
SB: Thanks, Harriett. I know you did but.. She wasn't wrong. Tonight was further proof while you still have so much potential and heights to reach. Especially with the Class of 2010.
[Sandy gives Harriett a pat ont he shoulder and nods her head.]
SB: You keep at it, OK, Harriett? There are a lot of girls who don't fit the classic molds that are looking up to you right now and what you are doing. Fight the good fight, Team Tuff style.
[Harriett nods then smiles.]
HM: I will but trust me, Sandy... With a performance like you did tonight.. Your time isn't over yet!
[They hug again and Morrison walks off. Sandy watches her walk away then looks at the ground with determined eyes.]
SB: Maybe.
[We cut away to the ring where the ill fashioned Fernando is standing by.]
FR: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a singles match!
["God Save The Queen" plays over the PA and the fans BOO THEIR HEADS OFF!]
FR: Introducing first, from the MONARCHY stable.. Here is... "THE DUKE".. WILLIAM PHILLIPS!
[Phillips, dressed in his ring gear, with Angus Ward and Duncan Taylor following behind him walks towards the ring with a sneer of disgust as he looks out at the fans.]
JI: Welcome back everyone! For those wondering how this next match came to be, from what I understand both William Phillips and the Cyborg King requested this match against one another and our boss, Emanuel Gonzalo Carranza, set it up.
DH: I suspect there is some manipulation by Monarchy going on here to maneuver for a shot at the Trios Championships, Jose.
[Phillips climbs into the ring with his compatriots and they strike a pose only to a giant chorus of BOOS! They react angrily towards the crowd, who they accuse of having no class or taste, before new music plays, (this music: https://youtu.be/wjD0vvVwZeQ ), and fans GO ABSOLUTELY AND TOTALLY APESHIT CRAZY!]
FR: And his opponent, he is the KING OF THE CYBORGS.. Here is... CYBORG KING!
[SUPER DUPER MIND BLOWING SWEET GOOD GAWD POP as Cyborg King, followed by his minions Cy-Force, walk out with the Viva Lucha Trios Championship belts around their waists! Cyborg King flashes a big smile and points to the crowd who do their thing!]
Crowd: CY-BORG KING! CY-BORG KING! CY-BORG KING! CY-BORG KING!
DH: It is difficult to say who the crowd is louder for, Jose, Cyborg King or Señor Goody Zapatos.
JI: There is definitely nothing quite like the VL Arena crowd when either of them come out to this ring, Diego!
[The Cyborg King climbs into the ring and looks Phillips up and down before chuckling. Phillips doesn't like that at all and warns the king of the cyborgs to watch it. The black masked referee checks both men for weapons while Fernando leaves the ring and then he motions for the bell.]
*DING*
********************************************************** Singles Match: Cyborg King [Cyborg Kingdom] vs "The Duke" William Phillips [Monarchy] **********************************************************
[Cyborg King and Phillips lock up and the king of the cyborgs quickly trips the Duke to the canvas. The Monarchy leader scrambles up only to get taken down by a hip toss and an arm drag before rolling out of the ring and throwing a tantrum outside the ring while Ward and Taylor try to calm him down. Cyborg King motions to the fans who of course GO TOTALLY NUTS FOR HIM and gets a "RESISTANCE IS FUTILE" chant going that drives Phillips so angry he rushes back in only to get taken down by more wrestling trips and takedowns before being tied up in a surfboard submission hold! Taylor jumps on the apron and complains which draws Cy01 to get in Taylor's face on the apron. Ward goes to reach under the ropes and break up the hold but Cy02 grabs him and yanks him away before he can do anything!]
[BIG POP]
JI: Things are getting a bit heated between the seconds of both competitors here!
DH: Who knows how long this will go before it breaks down, Jose!
[Black Mask gets both Taylor and Cy01 off the apron while Cyborg King breaks the hold and runs off the ropes only for Ward to sneak in a trip which distracts the cyborg monarch long enoughf or Duke to DECK him with a hard European Uppercut! Phillips uses eye gouges and various suplexes to keep Cyborg King reeling! He gets a double underhook and unloads multiple knee lifts before hitting a neckbreaker and going for the cover but it only gets a 2!]
Crowd: ALL HAIL OUR KING! GO CYBORG KING! ALL HAIL OUR KING! GO CYBORG KING!
DH: This crowd?!
JI: They are enthusiastic for the Cyborg King.
[Phillips curses at the crowd, as do Ward and Taylor, but the fans fire up Cyborg King who dodges an attack and counters with a CYBORG PUNCH! The King of all cyborgs unloads with dropkicks and chops before hitting a FLYING CYBORG PUNCH that has Phillips in a bad way! Ward and Taylor jump on the apron but so do Cy-Force and soon the four competitors are pushing and shoving each other and getting into it!]
JI: It's breaking down now!
[Black Mask tries to deal with that melee and doesn't see Phillips slip on a pair of brass knuckles and PUNCH CYBORG KING IN THE GROIN!]
[DIE YOU FILTHY BASTARD BOOS]
DH: CARAMBA!
JI: Phillips used brass knuckles for a low blow!
[The Duke uses an inside cradle to roll up the fouled king of the cyborgs and calls out to the ref who jumps into position and...]
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
*DING DING DING*
[MASSIVE FACE MELTING BOOS]
JI: Phillips has stolen this win!
DH: I do not think that is all he has going on, Jose!
[Indeed, Phillips pumps a fist with a big smile and with Ward & Taylor at his side he begins mocking the downed cyborg monarch and calling him names. Cy-Force are ready to jump into a fight but Cyborg King waves them off from the canvas while he grimaces as he holds his groin. The Duke says something to Cyborg King that gets quite a glare from the king of the cyborgs!]
DH: Que?!
JI: I believe Phillips just told Cyborg King if he was a real king he'd put the Trios Championships on the line at the season finale!
DH: Oh! Here it comes!
[Cyborg King nods his head and points at Phillips while doing so.]
JI: OH MY! Cyborg King just AGREED to it!
DH: WOW! Phillips played the King of the Cyborgs right into his plan, Jose!
JI: It appears that way!
[Phillips has a TRIUMPHANT smile as he departs the ring with his Monarchy comrades while Cyborg King glares at him.]
JI: It appears we will be seeing a Trios Championship Match on our season finale to join the International Light Heavyweight Title match, the JPWF Women's Title Match and the match between the Painted Freaks and the Masked Bros!
DH: Do not forget our main event will determine who Fury defends the Heavyweight Championship against, Jose!
JI: What a HUGE show our season finale is shaping up to be!
[We cut to backstage where we see a very agitated Rey Diablo Loco shaking his head while the Kid walks up to a wall and taps his head against it before turning around and walking to the other wall and doing the same then back again. Their despair is added to when a voice comes calling.]
"HEY BROS!"
[Loco flashes angry eyes towards the approaching Masked Maniac, who has a HUGE goofy smile on his face as he points to a "C" now prominently on his gear.]
MM: I got us a match! Did you see the fear in those Painted Freaks eyes?
[Rey's lower lip quivers as he tries to reply but Maniac wraps his arm around the lucha veteran's shoulders with a hearty laugh.]
MM: Don't worry my amigo-bro! Your fearless captain will lead us to victory. When I pin those painted freaks the ladies will be waiting backstage.
[Maniac watches the Kid continue to ram his head against both walls back and forth and then emits a hearty laugh as he pumps his fist.]
MM: That's the spirit! Two for me and one for each of you!
RDL: I am marri-
MM: Ami-bro, do you know what my favorite sex position is?
[Loco looks at Maniac with a horrified expression.]
MM: It's WOW!
[The luchador now has a confused look.]
MM: That is where I flip your MOM over!
[Maniac laughs while Loco buries his masked face in his hands before we cut to backstage where we see Señora Roja, with the variation of her mask that has her mouth and eyes exposed but hair tucked under the mask, flexing in front of a Viva Lucha banner and posing with a big smile.]
SR: Venga, Olga!
[We zoom out to see a very unhappy looking short Mexican woman with long black hair in a ponytail. She's wearing glasses, a light green blouse and dark slacks while holding a red cellphone in her hand, struggling to take the perfect picture.]
O: Ah... Ah....
[Roja's smiles turns into a snarl.]
SR: TAKE THE PICTURE!
[Olga winces as she presses the screen and..]
*KLICK*
[Roja flashes a wicked smile as she slinks over to Olga, her hips moving side to side, and she reaches for the phone.]
SR: Let me see!
[Olga frowns as she nervously hands the phone over to Roja. Roja squints as she inspects the picture and then slowly a large smile grows on her face.]
SR: Chica...
[Olga closes her eyes tightly, preparing for the worst, and is startled slightly in a different way as Roja slowly puts her arm around her shoulders and looks at her with a big smile.]
SR: Excellente, Olga!
[Relief comes over Olga as Roja shows her the picture on the phone with a reassuring squeeze.]
SR: Look at my abs, chica! You know I have been working hard on that this week and then check my legs out!
[Olga nods half-heartedly.]
O: I am pleased that you are satisfied with the picture.
[Roja nods as she stares at the phone.]
SR: Si!
O: But we really need to discuss some business strategy.
[Roja narrows her eyes at Olga.]
SR: Que?!
O: We have a flight to Japan for the FIERCE show and then we are coming back here for the Season finale and we need to maximize..
[Roja rolls her eyes and then turns Olga's head back towards the phone screen.]
SR: How many likes did my last Instagram get?
O: Ah..
[Olga squints to read and pushes up her glasses and shrugs.]
O: One thousand four hundred and seventeen?
SR: Si. Barely over one thousand because you suggested I wear that T-shirt.
[Olga holds up a finger in protest.]
O: We were promoting your appearance at that convention and promotion is a good thing!
[Roja messes with the phone before showing it to Olga again.]
SR: How many likes did THIS one get?
[Olga sighs as she closes her eyes.]
SR: How many, chica?
[Olga nervously pushes up her glasses.]
O: T-twenty five thousand, eight hundred and ninety three.
[Roja nods then pulls Olga close to her more aggressively and Olga gets a scared look on her face.]
SR: Nearly twenty six thousand likes! And you know why? Because it's a picture of my ass in that little two piece bikini we got from that swimwear company!
O: But.. You are not pursuing a career as a swimsuit model.
SR: No! I am a LUCHADORA! I am the top ruda in the world! And it is because of these kind of pictures that my stock is rising!
[Roja begins walking and Olga follows nervously after her.]
SR: You are aware of what family I belong to, no?
O: S-si. Por su puesto.
[Roja spins around and jabs a finger in Olga's face.]
SR: Then do NOT forget your place, ratta! You assist me like you were hired to do and leave the big decisions to me!
[Olga defeatedly nods her head and then Roja spins around and continues walking. She pauses briefly to glance over to the side and chuckle before walking off screen with Olga following after her. We don't follow, instead we pan over in the direction that Roja looked towards and we see Valerie Bloom, still in her ring gear, holding an ice pack to her head as she sits on a bench and an agitated Anna Williams sits besides her.]
AW: OK, Val, you gotta' level with me!
[Valerie rolls her eyes.]
VB: What are you talking about, girl?
AW: Don't give me that! What is your deal lately?!
[Bloom shrugs with much irritation.]
VB: What?! Being part of the Class of 2010? Being HAWT? My jobs?
[Anna narrows her eyes.]
AW: You know what I mean, Val! A few shows ago you jumped in the way of that slap by Mary Sue.
VB: I was being a good friend, you're welcome by the way.
AW: Then you attacked Cristiana and got me disqualified and eliminated from that tournament!
[Valerie shrugs again.]
VB: So I got caught up in the moment! I apologized like a GAZILLION times already, didn't I?!
AW: And tonight you LEAPED out of the ring just to eat a chair shot by Cristiana to protect me from it!
[Bloom throws her hands up in the air.]
VB: BEST! FRIEND! EVER!
[Valerie looks uncomfortable as she puts the ice pack back against her head and sighs. Anna watches her for a moment before smiling sarcastically.]
AW: Maybe we shouldn't have been worried about Harriett all these years and it was really YOU who was "that way".
[Bloom narrows her eyes at Anna.]
VB: I will HIT you with this ice pack.
AW: Will you? You won't let anyone else hit me it seems!
[Valerie frowns as she puts her ice pack down.]
VB: Nah. I wouldn't hit you. Not on purpose anyways.
[Anna throws her hands up in the air.]
AW: What is going on, Val?! Just tell me already!
[Valerie sighs sadly as she looks down at the floor.]
VB: Do you have any siblings, Anna?
[Williams is taken aback by this question.]
AW: Ah.. Yeah! I got two older brothers.
[Valerie makes a confused face.]
VB: You do? Do they wrestle too?
[Anna shakes her head.]
AW: They were never interested in it.
[Valerie is surprised.]
VB: Seriously?! With your famous aunt and uncle?!
[Anna shrugs.]
AW: I mean.. They thought it was cool Auntie and Uncle Pablo were famous but they just wanted like expensive video game presents and stuff. Or they'd tell girls to impress them and stuff like that.
[Valerie chuckles.]
VB: But you idolized them?
[Anna's face lights up.]
AW: Duh! They are like real life superheroes!
[Valerie makes a face.]
VB: I think you mean super villains.
[Anna rolls her eyes.]
AW: Whatever. Wait!
[Williams narrows her eyes.]
AW: What does this have to do with what we're talking about?!
[Valerie sighs sadly.]
VB: I'm an only child. My parents.. They tried to have more kids. They wanted lots of kids. But.. My mom had like two miscarriages before she had me. Then she had three MORE after me before they gave up.
AW: Oh, Val! I didn't know!
[Valerie shrugs.]
VB: I was five the last time they tried. My mom was so careful with everything. She was so careful... And she still miscarried.
[Bloom starts to get emotional and Anna puts her arm around her.]
AW: I'm sorry, Val.
[Valerie wipes away tears from her eyes and shrugs.]
VB: Thing is.. Doctors have told me.. They said I may have trouble as well if I ever pursue kids.
AW: What?!
VB: I.. Not that I was thinking of ruining this HAWT body with kids right now or anything but..
[Bloom sighs then looks Anna in the eyes.]
VB: Just let me pretend to be your sister, alright?
[Anna tries to fight back tears herself before laughing and nodding.]
AW: OK! But stop trying to protect me, OK?
[They embrace and we fade to inside the ring where we see for the second time tonight the IMPOSSIBLY gorgeous, possibly the MOST beautiful woman on the planet, Maria Juarez, in her curve hugging red dress, greets us with a big smile.]
MJ: Hola, again!
*wink*
[HEARTS AFLUTTER HOW CAN YOU BE REAL AND SO BEAUTIFUL POP]
MJ: One of the most anticipated matches set for Viva Lucha's season finale will be between my next two guests! Please welcome first.. The very first winner of LA REINA DE EL CENTRO TOURNAMENT...
[HOLY MOLY POP]
MJ: And the NUMBER ONE CONTENDER for the JPWF Women's World Championship... TESLA ST. JAMES!
[The thunderous beats of Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" cranks throughout the arena. The crowd erupts into a symphony of cheers as Red Irish itself appears. Dressed in black jeans and a blood red hoodie matching her hair, Tesla makes her way down, idly slapping the hands of nearby fans. She slides under the bottom rope and gives Maria a friendly fistbump on her way to the corner. She climbs to the second turnbuckle, raises a fist and then awaits her future opponent. Maria's smile dims slightly and she takes a big gulp before continuing on.]
MJ: And now please welcome my other guest at this time... With Mister Gordon J. Dutt here is the JPWF Women's World Champion... THE GOBLIN QUEEN!
[As "Malaise" by Nunchaku blares over the loudspeakers, out stalks out the Gargantuan Goddess of Graven Gore. The Goblin Queen ROARS with rage as she slams a meaty fist into her chest. Her prize, the beloved pink JPWF belt, is dragged behind her as if it was an abused animal, much to the horror of the fans. And by her side is her scheming manager, the insidious Gordon D. Dutt. Carrying that silver briefcase and wearing a white linen suit, a green bowtie and a slick grin, Dutt eyes Tesla and Maria standing in the ring as if they were participants in his own private stag film. At the ring's edge, he snatches up a mic while the Queen enters the ring.]
GJD: Ladies...
[Dutt winks. No hearts EVER will be a-flutter at this wink. Shrugging, Gordon enters himself.]
GJD: ...please, this doesn't need to end in violence! I'm sure there's more _creative_ ways to settle things...
[METEORIC WE HATE YOU TWO BOOS!
Tesla steps closer towards Dutt, causing some irrational excitement. She reaches out her hand...
...to take away the microphone. She turns and tosses it outside the ring. The Queen, though her anger is apparent, watches to see where this will lead. The crowd is of course happy.]
Crowd: THANK YOU TES-LA~!
<CLAP!> <CLAP!> <CLAP!!CLAP!CLAP!>
THANK YOU TES-LA~!
<CLAP!> <CLAP!> <CLAP!!CLAP!CLAP!>
[Keeping her eyes on the Queen more than Dutt, Tesla eases towards the awaiting microphone presented by Maria.]
TSJ: Possibly the _only_ creative thing you could possible do is keep your mouth shut.
[SUPER TENSION IS BUILDING POP~!]
TSJ: And I realize this may be hard for you Dutt but no one and I mean, _no one_, is here to see you run your mouth. What _everyone_ wants to see is that very violence your sycophantic little mind is only going to twist into something disgusting. A concept like dignity may be new to you. But a concept like respect is clearly a black hole in which you and your kingdomless Queen revel in.
[WE SMELL THE FIGHT COMING POP~!]
TSJ: I can deal with you two not having respect for me. That's nothing new.
I can deal with you two not having respect for the title she drags behind her. I will address that very soon.
I can deal with you two not having respect for the MBC Women's Championship title, a title that is my very lifeblood and soul. Your blood will be spilled for that.
Crowd: M-B-C~! M-B-C~! M-B-C~!
M-B-C~! M-B-C~! M-B-C~!
M-B-C~! M-B-C~! M-B-C~!
TSJ: But in this moment, you will show respect to this kind woman who wishes to conduct the interview.
[Eyes still on the Queen and Dutt, Tesla defers to Maria. Meanwhile, Her Majesty growls as a now-glaring Dutt looks VERY tempted to unleash his charge upon the feisty redhead. But he puts a hand up towards the Queen, mouthing "Not yet!" to her. Checking one last time, Maria turns towards Tesla.]
MJ: We saw the absolute war that took place between The Goblin Queen and Gloria Butler. What are your take aways from that.
TSJ: Two things, Maria. The first, Gloria Butler is part of a very bright future for our sport. She went toe to toe with the Queen. Gloria proved that the champion everybody fears in Viva Lucha is not so invincible. The monster can bleed.
[The crowd pops with approval but Tesla holds up her finger, calling for the crowd to pause.]
TSJ: And if it bleeds, you can kill it.
[BIG POP from the crowd at that response! Maria turns towards Dutt and the snarling Queen of mayhem and destruction.]
MJ: Do you agree that your client showed vulnerability in the battle against Butler?
[Dutt just shoots Maria a very ugly sneer as he looks over the lovely reporter rather suggestively]
GJD: Dear, dear Maria...Her Majesty showed NO such vulnerability! Much like any superior predator, the Goblin Queen just prefers to play with her prey before CRUSHING the wretch to oblivion! [Gordon turns towards Tesla with a mock look of concern.] It makes the inevitable victory all that much more...delicious.
[Maria turns towards Tesla.]
MJ: Tesla, you also had a big victory yourself on our last show when you won La Reina de el Centro!
[HUGE POP]
MJ: What are your thoughts on your big tournament victory?
[Maria turns towards Tesla.]
MJ: Tesla, you also had a big victory yourself on our last show when you won La Reina de el Centro!
[HUGE POP]
MJ: What are your thoughts on your big tournament victory?
TSJ: It'll go down as one of the proudest moments in my career and my life. But every victory is bittersweet. Winning means you get to fight the next day. Winning means you get to fight more important battles. Winning means facing better and bigger opponents. Winning means getting a chance to put back together what should have never been torn apart.
GJD: [cutting in] Oh please! [HEEL POP but the dastardly Dutt appears to have something on his mind and nothing is stopping him!] "M-B-C"...yes, Bastard this, Bastard that, but what have you done recently, Tesla?! You suck on the memory of a dead fed like it was your mother's tit!
[A beat. And then a sick grin.]
GJD: Of course, if those rumoured tapes of you and Miyuki Ozaki are anything to consider, that's not all you su--
[THOOM! Tesla lashes out at Dutt's jaw before he can finish that sleazy sentiment much to the joy of the fans! Dutt crumples to the ring floor! But the Queen ROARS...]
GQ: KOSHINUKE YARIMAN!!!!
[...and LAUNCHES herself at the Number One Contender to her title!]
[HOLY MOLY RAVIOLI POP]
DH: CARAMBA!
JI: Oh my!
[Maria Juarez FLEES from the ring faster than an Olympic sprinter as Goblin Queen and Tesla St. James TEAR INTO ONE ANOTHER! Fists and kicks fly in a wild flurry before both women tumble to the ground and claw and grapple with one another with blind aggression and gutteral roars!]
JI: This interview has been thrown out the window as all restraint has been tossed aside here!
DH: You think?!
[Both women roll up to their feet and Tesla fires off some quick punches before being absolutely ROCKED by a BLUDGEONING fist into her face by the Goblin Queen who then grabs St. James by her throat and with a FRIGHTENING ROAR drives both the redhead and herself through the ropes and tumbling dangerously to the floor outside!]
[HOLY F-ING GUACAMOLE POP]
JI: MADRE Y DIOS!
DH: They are going to KILL each other, Jose!
[Maria Juarez's eyes go wide as saucers as she scurries by the announce table while Tesla St. James struggles to her feet, grabbing her face but GROWLING at the same time. The Goblin Queen casts a concerned look at Dutt, reigniting her RAGE and she rushes over and grabs St. James by her hair and ...]
*WHAMASMACKABAM*
[DEAR SWEET MERCIFUL FATHER IN HEAVEN DAMN POP]
JI: CARAMBA! She slammed Tesla's face into the ring post SO HARD!
DH: Remember what the Goblin Queen did to Meiko Yamazaki, Jose? Tesla may not make it to the season finale!
[St. James stumbles and staggers while clutching at her face as the Goblin Queen ROARS in violent pursuit! Tesla spins around, a trickle of blood running down her face from her forehead, and BOOTS the Goblin Queen in midsection before hitting a STIFF knee to the face of the queen of destruction dropping her to one knee!]
[RAGING ANGRY VIOLENCE POP]
JI: This is bad! We maybe need some security to break this up.
DH: And to protect us and Maria from being killed, Jose!
[Tesla grimaces as she holds her aching face but has no time to recover as her highness of death and devastation rises to her feet with a WAR CRY and the two women launch at each other once again! And then Lady Warhawk, Rachel Carlisle, Gloria Butler, Harriett Morrison, a limping Juno Takayama, Teresa Villa, Anna Williams, Valerie Bloom, Catherine MacDonald, Amanda Irvine, Brittany Young, Cristiana, Lucy Daglish and slinking behind everyone else Senora Roja all come rushing out towards the ring from the back!]
JI: Thank Goodness!
DH: Si!
[Maria Juarez sighs with relief as all the women's wrestlers hit the scene and swarm Goblin Queen and Tesla St. James! They manage to separate the two ladies from one another but both competitors are VIOLENTLY trying to escape the clutches of those desiring to calm the storm.]
JI: What a crazy scene this has been but hopefully order can be restored soon.
DH: Do not say that Jose!
[At nearly the same moment, both the JPWF Women's World Champion and the number one contender break free from those holding them back and LAUNCH AT EACH OTHER WITH VIOLENT GUSTO ONCE AGAIN!]
[LET THEM FIGHT WILD BRAWL HOLY MOLY POP]
JI: CARAMBA!
DH: I TOLD you NOT to say that, Jose!
[Maria Juarez is in full panic and she rushes to EGC's office and slams her hands against the door while the women struggle to separate Tesla and Goblin Queen from one another! The office door flies open and a very unhappy EGC steps out, ready to tear into whomever is disturbing him when he sees Maria and the chaos going on and his eyes go wide with surprise!]
JI: Maria has brought this to the attention of our boss.
DH: He will find a way to calm this all down.
[EGC gives a signal to someone off screen and suddenly security guards begin streaming out from the back to ringside.]
[DON'T SPOIL OUR BRAWLING FUN BOOS]
JI: The crowd isn't happy about this but these two can not go crazy like this before their title match on the next show.
DH: And for OUR safety too, Jose! Why do you not think about our safety in any of this??
[The combined forces of the security guards and the ladies manage to pry both the Goblin Queen and Tesla St. James from one another yet again. A dazed Gordon J. Dutt tries to push through to his charge while Carranza motions for everyone to stay calm with a flabbergasted expression on his face.]
JI: This is still a very tense situation.
DH: Another understatement of the year from you.
[Lady Warhawk and Gloria Butler talk St. James down and she assures them she's cool. Goblin Queen twitches and jerks with violent anger barely under the surface while Dutt rubs his jaw. Everyone starts to relax and then..]
*DASH*
*DASH*
[HECK YES NEVER STOP FIGHT FOREVER POP]
[Tesla breaks free and scrambles under the ropes back inside the ring and Goblin Queen blasts past security and ladies to dive under the ropes and both women UNLEASH a flurry of punches and strikes on one another as everyone scrambles several steps behind after them!]
[TEAR THIS PLACE DOWN BRAWL FOREVER POP]
JI: This is COMPLETELY out of control!
[Senora Roja stays out of the ring, shaking her head as if refusing to go into the chaos of everyone trying to stop these two from murdering each other! Lucy Daglish slides out of the ring and stumbles around til she takes off for the back while Carranza incredulously climbs into the ring and appeals for calm but then a sea of humanity crashes upon him because of the brawling Goblin Queen and St. James and...]
*TUMBLE*
*THUD*
[HOLY MOLY RAVIOLI POP]
JI: THEY JUST KNOCKED CARRANZA OVER!!
DH: EL JEFE SPILLED OUT OF THE RING EVEN, JOSE!!! AIEEEEEEEEE!
[Security and ladies take numerous blows as they manage to push both warring ladies from one another. Goblin Queen in one corner, Tesla St. James in the opposing corner. And outside the ring Fernando Rodriguez rushes over to help Emanuel Gonzalo Carranza up to his feet. El jefe grabs the microphone from Fernando then SHOVES him away and with BLAZING eyes of FIRE rushes under the ropes and into the ring and glares from one corner to the other before..]
EGC: CALMATE! CALLLLLLMMAAAAATEEEEE!!!!!
[Everyone stops though no on releases Goblin Queen or Tesla but all eyes do turn towards Carranza who is SEETHING with anger.]
EGC: I see how it is going to be between you two! Since the two of you can NOT control yourselves I have no choice but to take precautions to protect the well being of these fans and our staff! So.. Next show.. Our Season finale... With the JPWF Women's World Championship on the line... The two of you and...
[He points to all the women's wrestlers in the ring.]
EGC: ALL OF YOU will be here too because this will be... A LUMBERJACK MATCH!
[HOLY MOLY RAVIOLI POP]
JI: CARAMBA! A lumberjack match!
DH: It will be the first one in Viva Lucha ever!
[Carranza points from one corner to the other.]
EGC: But don't you DARE fight more tonight or GOD HELP ME WHAT I WILL DO!
[With that Carranza throws the mic down and storms out of the ring and slams the door of his office as he goes back inside. Goblin Queen bristles but Dutt emphatically shakes his head towards her while St. James touches the blood on her face and glares at the Queen of armageddon.]
DH: Everyone better be on their best behavior the rest of tonight, Jose!
JI: Agreed!
[We fade from the CHAOS to backstage where we see the seemingly lifeless form of Zombie Girl laying on a bench with her white, black and purple make up and tattered clothes. She lays motionless for moments until a shadow falls over her.]
"Haw!"
[Zombie Girl's face twitches.]
"Bampot!"
[It twitches further.]
"Bonnie Dead Burd!"
*FWOOSH*
[All at once Zombie Girl sits up (Undertaker style) with her eyes wide open! She turns to see the curious sweaty face of Lucy Daglish smiling at her.]
LD: Yeez missed out on the action! They's wis a fighting like radge! We had to run out there and try to break it up and they cowped the boss even!
[Zombie Girl doesn't bite at Lucy, oddly enough, but listens intently.]
LD: Ah wiz like forget this fash an' got back here like a dunderheed!
[Daglish giggles a bit before looking around and biting her lip with a nervous smile.]
LD: Bonnie panbread burd.. 'ave you seen him around?
[Zombie Girl looks down for a moment before looking back up and slowly shaking her head. Lucy frowns.]
LD: Ah feart twas the case.
[Daglish sits down next to Zombie Girl and the two of them sit side by side on the bench, staring at the floor.]
LD: Anno what yeez thinkin'. Ah am a pure dafty dunderheed. Aye. Ah won't deny it.
[Lucy looks over at Zombie Girl.]
LD: But yeez get me, don't you?
[Zombie Girl just makes mumbly noises that we can't understand. Daglish nods her head.]
LD: Aye. Aye.
*RUSTLE*
*RUSTLE*
[Both women's heads jerk up and they listen to the sounds carefully.]
LD: ...
ZG: ...
[Lucy looks over at Zombie Girl and motions with her head.]
LD: (Whispering) Cummoan!
[They both slowly creep off the bench and tip toe down the hall before looking around a corner. We look over their shoulders and spy the MASSIVE back of a large man with long curly messy black hair and wearing tattered dark gray jeans, black combat boots and a black leather jacket. The large man grabs at food on a table and grunts as he shoves some of the items into his jacket pockets. We cut to the ecstatic face of Lucy Daglish and the awed expression of Zombie Girl as they watch him.]
LD: (whispering) It's him! He's here! There's nae OTHER like him!
[Zombie Girl makes soft mumbling noise before we fade back to the now clear ring where Fernando is standing by.]
FR: The following contest is our MAIN EVENT!
[MAIN EVENT POP]
FR: It is a LADDER MATCH with a shot at the VIVA LUCHA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP on our SEASON FINALE up for grabs!
[HUGE POP]
[We see a shot of a briefcase on a hook above the ring and some ladders around the ring before we watch as the massive El Caballo de Troya Azul makes his masked way towards the ring.]
FR: Introducing first, the winner of the Chance of a Lifetime Battle Royal earlier tonight... EL CABALLO DE TROYA AZUL!
[POP]
JI: What a night this has been for this man! Coming from complete obscurity to winning the battle royal earlier tonight to now with a chance to get a shot at the Viva Lucha Heavyweight Championship!
DH: No se, Jose. He sure looks familiar to me the more I see him.
JI: Que?
DH: His mask is not familiar but his physique, the way he does things in the ring.. I am sure we have seen this man before!
[As the large masked man pumps a fist to the crowd before "Paranoia 180" from DDR plays over the PA and a spotlight falls on the top of the entrance stage. The curtains part and we all wait for a few moments before....]
*FLIP*
*SWOOSH*
*BOOSH*
[WOAH POP]
[Out somersaults the mysterious silver masked Question Mark! He points a finger at the ring, frozen like a statue for a moment before he starts moving his head from side to side in beat with the music as he starts walking towards the ring with fans imitating his head movements.]
FR: And his opponent.. Here is... QUESTION MARK!
JI: We don't know much about this man. What we have seen so far has been very impressive though some did not approve of his sneak attack to eliminate "Overkill" Joey Malone in the Light Heavyweight Gauntlet Match a few shows ago.
DH: Those people are LOSERS, Jose! In a match like that you do what you can to make the match as short as possible because you have no idea how many opponents you may be facing. It was smart rudo strategy!
[Question Mark flips into the ring and scrambles to the 2nd turnbuckle where he conintues his head movements until his music fades and new music plays. Loud lovely music from the THUNDER GODS of METAL HEAVEN aka... "Overkill" by MOTORHEAD blasts over the PA!]
[GIANT POP]
FR: And their opponent.. Here is... "OVERKILL" JOEY MALONE!
[The El Centro fans GO NUTS as Malone SPRINTS from the back towards the ring and slides in and jumps right into Question Mark's face!! The gray masked referee jumps in between them but Malone wants to start fighting RIGHT NOW but Question Mark laughs as he backs off while doing his head movements and his hands in the air.]
[LET THEM FIGHT POP]
JI: Caramba! Malone is ready to tear into Question Mark right now!
DH: He is just a sore loser, Jose.
[The official continues to stay between the angry Malone and Question Mark when blessed Motorhead fades out and new music, (this music: https://youtu.be/20AkHqVTeg4 ), plays and the crowd.. BOOS LIKE NO TOMORROW!]
FR: And their opponent... He is the KING OF ALL ROBOTS.. Here is... NOT OK BOSS!
[With Hecho en Mexico on either side of him out walks Not OK Boss with the crown upon his head and the fans LET HIM HAVE IT WITH FIERCE FACE SEARING BOOS!]
[DIE WE HATE YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MARY SUE BOOS]
JI: Listen to this crowd!
DH: You would think Miguel Villa Lobos was walking out here!
JI: Strangely, yeah.
[Not OK Boss cackles at the fans as he makes his way to the ring. He climbs into the ring and looks at the three other men already in the ring before rearing his head back and cackling loudly!]
[OH GOD WE CAN'T WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO SMASH YOU GOOD EVIL ROBOT BOOS]
JI: Wow!
DH: Si.
[Not OK Boss cackles even HARDER once new music plays, (this music: https://youtu.be/C11fAGXGbB4 ) and fans... GO CRAZY NUTS!]
FR: And their opponent... Here is... PROFESSOR WHERE!
[Professor Where walks out with his eyes focused squarely on Not OK Boss who cackles at him from the ring. Where starts to walk faster and faster until he sprints towards the ring and LUNGES FOR THE KING OF ALL ROBOTS!]
[MASSIVE POP]
DH: CARAMBA!
[HUGE DEAFENING BOOS]
[Hecho en Mexico are in the ring and they stand between Where and the king of the robots.]
[LET WHERE MURDER THE ROBOT DAMN YOU BOOS]
JI: ANOTHER issue ready to boil over here!
DH: I do not understand what the issue is, Jose.
JI: QUE?! Not OK Boss hit Mary Sue with EL MARTINETE, the most dangerous move in all of lucha libre, and allowed the Cyborg Kingdom to waltz out with her!
DH: Well why not also be angry at the Cyborg Kingdom, then?! Why is everything directed at our future overlord the king of all robots?!
[The gray masked official gets Where to back off but then has to scramble over to stop Joey Malone from getting into Question Mark's face again!]
JI: This is going to be total chaos when that bell rings.
DH: Si!
[As Gray Mask struggles with this situation new music that the VL Arena faithful have not heard before, (this music: https://youtu.be/9oTNs4n4wMM ), and fans kind of FREAK THE HECK OUT!]
FR: And their opponents.. Making his VIVA LUCHA DEBUT... Accompanied by MARGARITA RAMOS.. Here is.... OMAR OSCAVEDO MARTINEZ!
[GIGANTIC HOLY MOLY IT'S A REAL MAN SIZED POP as the muscular Mexican heavyweight with long wavy black hair, goatee, mustache and white trunks with black ring boots with tassels (think Ultimate Warrior boots) known to wrestling fans from his brief appearances in Phoenix Valley Wrestling and especially his time in All Star Lucha Libre and currently in Tradicion Lucha Libre.. Omar Oscavedo Martinez comes striding out slamming his fist against his chest and yelling "I AM NOT A SISSY! I AM A REAL MAN!". And coming up behind him is the SUPER HOLY MOLY HOT Margarita Ramos dressed in SUPER tight and SUPER tiny red short shorts, white bikini top and green boots that come up to her knees.]
[THE LADIES MARK OUT FOR OMAR POP!]
[THE GUYS MARK OUT FOR MARGARITA POP!]
JI: There had been rumors for quite some time that Omar Oscavedo Martinez would be making his way to Viva Lucha but they had not materialized until tonight!
DH: Ohhhh.... Caraaammmmbaaaa!
[We get a shot of a STUNNED Diego as he watches Margarita Ramos walk by ringside behind Omar. She stops to slowly turn her head towards Diego and WINK in his direction.]
DH: MADRE Y DIOS!
[She slowly turns her back towards Diego and she exaggerates the sway of her hips as she climbs up the steps onto the ring apron and very slowly bends over as she climbs between the ropes and follows her man into the ring.]
DH: CARAMBAIEEEEEEEEE!!!
JI: Are you OK, Diego?
DH: Ah... Que? Ah... S-si. Si.
[Omar looks at everyone in the ring then slaps his chest and screams "YOU ARE ALL SISSIES! I AM A REAL MAN!" and then charges right for the large el Caballo de Troya Azul and starts laying shots on him and ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE and the referee calls for the bell!]
*DING*
********************************************************** 6 Man Number One Contender's Ladder Match: El Caballo de Troya Azul vs Question Mark vs "Overkill" Joey Malone vs Not OK Boss [Robot Kingdom] vs Professor Where II vs Omar Oscavedo Martinez w/ Margarita Ramos **********************************************************
[With the fans LOSING THEIR MINDS everyone launches into action! Joey Malone is unloading shots on Question Mark, Professor Where is forced to deal with the tag team Hecho en Mexico while Not OK Boss exits the ring and goes for a ladder and Omar Oscavedo Martinez is exchanging shots with the big man Caballo de Troya Azul but it's not going so well for Omar as the large masked man is winning out in the punch exchange! Question Mark jabs a thumb in Malone's eyes before rolling out of the ring and going for a ladder himself but Overkill is hot on his trails and leaps off the apron only for...]
*CLANGABOOM*
*THUD*
[HOLY FREAKING MOLY]
JI: Not OK Boss knocked Malone out of mid-air with that ladder!
DH: He is not done, Jose!
[Question Mark at first is glad for the aid by the king of all robots until he realizes Not OK Boss isn't finished...]
*CLANGABOOM*
*THUD*
[YIKES POP]
JI: Question Mark just got nailed upside the head!
DH: Despite appearances I guess Question Mark is NOT a robot, Jose, thus he must fall as well like all humans must fall to the robot kingdom!
[Not OK Boss cackles and climbs onto the apron with the ladder and calls out to his minions, Hecho en Mexico. R-Uno and R-Dos grab ahold of the struggling Professor Where and go to whip him towards the outstretched ladder in Not OK Boss' possession but the second Where puts the brakes on and whips R-Dos into the ladder..]
*CLANGABOOM*
[HUGE POP]
[And hits a STIFF high kick upside R-Uno's head!]
[HUGE POP]
[And then as Not OK Boss drops ahold of the ladder, Where charges and springs over the ladder and the ropes and TACKLES NOT OK BOSS OFF THE APRON TO THE FLOOR OUTSIDE!]
[MASSIVE HOLY FREAKING MOLY BEAT HIS ROBOT FACE IN POP]
JI: CARAMBA! Professor Where defying the numbers and going right after Not OK Boss!
DH: I am not sure how smart it is to go after someone as dangerous as the King of the Robots, Jose, but I know if Where wants to challenge for the Viva Lucha Heavyweight Championship he needs to refocus where his attention should be!
[In the ring, el Caballo is lighting up Omar's chest with chops before dragging him to a corner and ramming his head into the turnbuckles! Margarita Ramos hops onto the ring apron and distracts Caballo with a display of her long legs as she wraps herself around the ropes which gives Martinez a moment to attack his foe from behind with a double axe handle. The big masked man slowly turns around and shakes his finger at Omar who becomes enraged and SLAPS the blue masked man across the face and accuses him of being a "sissy"! El Cabllo de Troya Azul trembles with rage before grabbing Martinez and declaring he'll show him a "sissy" and then he spins Omar around and lifts him high into the air before hitting a BIG atomic drop that leaves Martinez writhing on the canvas while holding his groin!]
DH: Jose, we have seen this man before I just.. I just can not place where or when!
JI: But neither of us had ever heard of him before tonight, Diego.
DH: Si but... Something very familiar about him!
[Outside the ring Malone and Question Mark are back at it, exchanging shots until the masked man stuns Overkill with a jab to the throat before dropping him with a clothesline. Question Mark grabs a ladder around ringside and lays it down on the entrance ramp before scooping up Joey and walking over, intending to slam his foe down onto the ladder. But Overkill struggles and fires off elbows til Question Mark is forced to release him and Malone escapes and then hits a DROPKICK that sends Question Mark stumbling over the ladder onto the entrance ramp! Malone then grabs the ladder and sets it up at the bottom of the entrance ramp and starts to climb while Question Mark gets to his feet. The crowd grows LOUDER with anticipation as Malone gets to the top and then..]
*FLIES*
*THUD*
*TUMBLE*
*CRASH*
[HOLY FREAKING MOLY RAVIOLI GUACAMOLE CHEESECAKE ELECTRIC GUITAR EXPLOSION POP]
JI: MADRE Y DIOS!
DH: CARAMBA!
JI: MALONE DIVED OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER ONTO QUESTION MARK AND THEY FELL INTO THE CROWD!!!
Crowd: HOLY MEEP! HOLY MEEP! HOLY MEEP! HOLY MEEP!
[As the fans LOSE THEIR MIND over that, Professor Where is once again tangling with Hecho en Mexico but outside the ring. While that is happening, Not OK Boss is cackling and climbing back into the ring where the ladder he had earlier rests. El Caballo de Troya Azul is rocking Omar Oscavedo Martinez with hard shots when..]
*CLANG*
*CLANG*
[DIE YOU ROBOT EVIL BASTARD BOOS]
JI: Not OK Boss has just rammed that ladder into first Troya Azul and then Martinez!
DH: At least one competitor has their eye on the prize, Jose!
[Not OK Boss cackles while the crowd BOO HIM INTO TOMORROW as he sets up the ladder under the briefcase. The king of all robots begins to climb when outside the ring, Professor Where hits a leaping kick on R-Dos and then trips R-Uno before cowboy kicking him in the face and then turns his angry eyes towards the ring. Where rushes onto the ring apron, grabs the top rope and hops onto it and then..]
*SPRING*
*FLIES*
*WHOMP*
[SUPER DUPER POP]
JI: Professor Where springboarded off the top rope and has landed on Not OK Boss!
DH: Caramba!
[Not OK Boss tries to kick the Professor off of him but Where holds on and fires off forearm shots to the lower back of the robot king. Margarita Ramos works on reviving Omar while el Caballo stirs. And then..]
"Pro-Fess-Sor"
[Both Where and Not OK Boss stop and both turn their heads towards the top of the entrance stage.]
"Pro-fess-sor Where!"
DH: What is going on Jose?
JI: No se! I hear a voice but I don't see any-
[GASP POP]
[Everyone's eyes go wide as walking out onto the entrance ramp is a familiar looking caucasian woman who does not look like we remembered. The curly blonde hair is gone, replaced with a buzz cut that is colored purple. Silver and gold face paint adorns her face as does blue lipstick. She is wearing a silver and gold body suit with a necklace made of crudely assembled metal scraps. She has an earpiece with a microphone attached and she points towards the ring.]
JI: Is... Is that Mary Sue?
DH: It looks like her but.. she shaved her hair!
JI: And she's dressed up like the cyborg kingdom!
[Professor Where's eyes are wide open and a look of shock is on his face. He mouths "Mary?" and the woman nods her head.]
MS: Yes, pro-fess-sor.. I am the one once known as Mary Sue.
[WHAT THE WHAT POP]
[Mary Sue points at Professor Where.]
MS: My time as Mary Sue is near an end, Pro-Fess-Sor. A new fate awaits me. But I wanted to tell you Thank You for bringing me to Viva Lucha! If you did not bring me here then the king of the robots would never have broken me and given me this new life that begins shortly!
[INTENSE BOOS for Not OK Boss hurting Mary Sue in the past mixed with WHAT THE SUPER DUPER CONFUSION POP]
[Professor Where's face is a mask of anger, confusion and despair.]
MS: See, Pro-Fess-Sor. Here they come now.
[The crowd MARK THE HECK OUT as Cy-Force and Cyborg King walk out behind Mary. Cyborg King holds a tiara made of junk much like his crown of junk upon his head. Mary looks sad for a moment as she looks down.]
MS: My time as Mary Sue ends but if I can have one last request, Pro-Fess-Sor, as Mary Sue your friend to you it is this...
[She points up at Not OK Boss.]
MS: Break the one who broke me!
[MASSIVE SUPER DUPER POP]
[Where grimaces from emotional pain he is feeling at all of this but nods his head towards Mary. She gives a nod then flashes a sad smile.]
MS: Goodbye, Pro-Fess-Sor.
[Cyborg King approaches behind Mary and places the tiara on her head and suddenly Mary starts to convulse and shake! Cy-Force go to her side but she suddenly straightens and GLARES at the ring and Professor Where.]
MS: ALL HAIL THE CYBORG KINGDOM!
[WOAH POP]
MS: ALL HAIL THE CYBORG KING!
[MASSIVE SUPER DUPER POP]
MS: AND ALL HAIL... THE CYBORG QUEEN!
[HOLY MOLY MIND EXPLOSION RAVIOLI POP]
JI: Oh my God!
DH: Jose.. What just happened?!
JI: I... I think Mary Sue has joined the Cyborg Kingdom!
DH: SHE IS A CYBORG NOW?!! AIEEEEEEEEEE!
[The Cyborg Kingdom all turn their backs to the ring at once and walk through the curtain to the back. Professor Where despairs until he hears the CACKLING of Not OK Boss.]
[OH WE HATE YOU ROBOT KING BOOS]
[Where trembles with rage as he looks up at the robot monarch but neither one of them are prepared for what comes next as el Caballo de Troya Azul grabs the ladder and ..]
*SHOVE*
*CAREEEEEEEEEEN*
*THUD*
[AIEEEEEEEE HOLY MOLY DEATH DROP POP]
JI: MADRE Y DIOS! El Caballo SHOVED THE LADDER OVER and both Where and Not OK Boss fell over the ropes to the floor outside!
DH: CARAMBA!
[El Caballo pumps a fist but then Omar jumps him from behind and once has the big man down begins unloading with kicks and stomps! Meanwhile, outside the ring, both "Overkill" Joey Malone and Question Mark are on their feet in the crowd and begin BRAWLING wildly with fans scrambling to get out of their way!]
[BIG POP]
JI: This match has been nothing but complete messy chaos!
DH: At least Omar has his head on straight, Jose.
[Martinez drops an elbow on Caballo and then grabs the ladder and begins setting it up under the briefcase again. And then Omar starts to climb!]
Crowd: HE'S NOT A SISSY! *CLAP CLAP CLAP* HE'S A REAL MAN! *CLAP CLAP CLAP*
DH: Woah! A chant for Omar?! These people have good tastes sometimes!
[Margarita Ramos dances suggestively while cheering her charge on but her dancing stops when el Caballo jumps to his feet and shakes his head up at Omar! The big masked man leaps onto the other side of the ladder and quickly catches up with the ascending Martinez! Omar ROARS with angery and slaps his chest before throwing a hard shot at the masked man. Troya Azul shakes his head and BLASTS Omar with a big punch which causes Omar to slowly slide down and fall over.. with his legs caught in a rung of the ladder and hanging upside down!]
[BIG POP]
JI: Omar Oscavedo Martinez is not having the debut he probably hoped he would!
DH: *GASP*!
[Diego gasps because Margarita Ramos rolls into the ring and scrambles up the ladder and jumps on the back of el Caballo de Troya Azul!]
[WOWZA POP]
JI: What is Margarita doing?!
DH: I.. She... AIEEEE!
[El Caballo looks around at the crowd and then nods his head and continues climbing up the ladder with Margarita on his back!]
[HUGE POP]
JI: This is the SECOND time tonight we've seen someone climb something with someone on their back!
DH: EEEEEEEEEE!
[El Caballo gets to the top as Margarita freaks out a bit as she looks down all around her, realizing how high up she is in the air, and Troya Azul reaches up...]
*CLICK*
[GIANT SUPRISE RESULT POP]
*DING DING DING*
JI: HE GOT THE BRIEFCASE! WITH MARGARITA ON HIS BACK!
DH: This really is the night of his life!
FR: Here is your winner and the NUMBER ONE CONTENDER to challege FURY for the VIVA LUCHA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP at our SEASON TWO FINALE... EL CABALLO DE TROYA AZUL!
[TOTALLY SURPRISED POP]
[El Caballo climbs down with both the briefcase and Margarita. When he touches down on the canvas, Ramos hops off his back and taps the big man on his shoulder. He turns towards her and..]
*SMACK*
[DANG POP]
JI: Margarita SLAPPED him!
DH: She is a fiery tempered woman, Jose. A beautiful, lovely.. But.. But not as lovely as.. The masked goddess of enigma.. But... AIEEEEEE! I am so conflicted right now!
[El Caballo rubs his face while Margarita climbs out of the ring and tends to the angry Omar Oscavedo Martinez who points at the big masked man and vows revenge as he walks to the back.]
JI: Martinez is NOT happy about this result at all!
DH: Can you blame him, Jose? He missed out on a chance to fight for the Viva Lucha Heavyweight Championship! Actually... He missed out on being destroyed by FURY so... Maybe he should be more OK with this than he is.
*SWOOSH*
[The door flies open to Carranza's office and a very unhappy looking EGC comes walking out and climbs into the ring.]
JI: What a night he has had.
DH: SHHHH! Do not bring THAT up within earshot of him right now!
JI: Verdad.
[Carranza gets the microphone from Fernando and is about to speak when the crowd starts going NUTS because Overkill and Question Mark have made their way onto the entrance ramp and are brawling like madmen!]
[WILD BRAWL POP]
JI: Oh boy.
DH: This is not good.
[EGC looks REALLY annoyed at this but soon he is OUTRAGED because at ringside Professor Where is FURIOUSLY fighting with Hecho en Mexico in an attempt to get to the king of all robots, Not OK Boss!]
[FIGHTS EVERYWHERE POP]
JI: CARAMBA!
DH: AIEEEEEEEE!
[El Caballo leans against a corner with a smile on his masked face while Carranza trembles with rage as he watches the brawling going on. Security come running out and are trying to put out the flames of anger and violence but the boss has seen enough.]
EGC: HEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
[Malone & Question Mark stop and are quickly pulled apart by the security as are Professor Where and Hecho en Mexico. Carranza shakes his head as he trembles with rage.]
EGC: No. No! NO! NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
[RAGE POP]
EGC: Usually I am all for violence and mayhem but right now.. I AM NOT IN THE MOOD!
[He glares from Malone/Question Mark to Professor Where/Robot Kingdom before pointing at Overkill and Question Mark.]
EGC: Here is what we are going to do! Malone! Question Mark! You two will fight one on one on our Season Two finale next show!
[HUGE POP]
[Malone approves of this and nods his head at Question Mark. Professor Where struggles against the security guards while Not OK Boss cackles while hiding behind a wall of Hecho en Mexico and security guards. Carranza points at them next.]
EGC: Professor Where! You have issues with.. His highness...
[HUGE BOOS as Not OK Boss cackles with delight.]
EGC: But you can not resolve those issues because of his endless minions who get involved in every single thing he does!
[Where nods his head with Carranza.]
EGC: Well I will give you the chance to solve your issues one on one with NO interference! But you may regret it because it will be.. for the FIRST TIME EVER in my arena... A MEGA DOMO DE LA MUERTE MATCH!!
[The hardcore lucha fans FREAK THE FUCK OUT at this while everyone else POPS but SLIGHTLY CONFUSED BUT THIS SOUNDS COOL POP!! Professor Where is kind of confused and seems to have a slightly bad feeling about this but the cackling from Not OK Boss reignites his ANGER and he yells "BRING IT ON!" in reply!]
JI: Madre y dios!
DH: A.. D-domo de la Muerte match???
JI: A Mega one?!
DH: Does this mean an even bigger domed cage, Jose??
JI: One would have to assume! For the viewers at home, a domo de la muerte match is a domed cage match in Mexico. The domed cage may be closed off or have a small opening at the top.
DH: But if it is to keep the rest of the robots out it has to be closed, Jose!
JI: That would make the most sense.
[Carranza angrily points up the entrance ramp.]
EGC: Now, Guillermo! You and your boys get them OUT OF MY SIGHT! NOW!
[A mix of CHEERS and BOOS as security forces Malone, Question Mark, Professor Where and the Robot Kingdom to the back, leaving Carranza alone with el Caballo de Troya Azul. The grumpy Viva Lucha boss turns to the big man and forces a smile.]
EGC: Now then.. Congratulations to the number one contender who will face FURY for the Viva Lucha Heavyweight Championship on our season finale!
[A BIG POP as Carranza motions towards the masked man, who pumps a fist. Carranza rubs his chin.]
EGC: You know, I must admit you are a completely new face for me. Before tonight I have never seen you around my arena before but these are the heights that can be reached in a Chance of a Lifetime battle royal like only we can have here in Viva Lucha!
[VIVA LUCHA POP]
EGC: I..
[Carranza's voice tapers off as the big man walks towards him and asks for the microphone. EGC sighs in frustration before forcing a smile and handing the microphone to the big man.]
DH: He is going to speak?!
JI: Apparently so.
[El Caballo holds the briefcase up in the air to a POP before speaking in a strained voice.]
eCdTA: (strained voice) Thank you for this chance tonight but.. You HAVE seen me before tonight.
[Carranza looks confused.]
eCdTA: (strained voice) You have done some business involving me before even!
[EGC is taken aback and shakes his head with a face as if el Caballo is crazy and says "You must be mistaken." The Big man shakes his head then clears his throat and speaks in a much clearer and more familiar voice.]
eCdTA: In fact, tonight is all about AVENGING that business!
[Carranza's eyes grow wide as he takes a closer look at the masked man. The big man grabs his mask and then...]
*PULL*
[HOLY MOLY RAVIOLI NO FREAKING WAY GOOD GOD SUPER DUPER POP]
JI: OH MY GOODNESS!!
DH: AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
JI: IT'S BLUE SAMSON!
[FULL ON MARKING OUT LIKE NUTS POP as the crowd FREAKS OUT over Blue Samson once again in Viva Lucha and Carranza has his jaw wide open as he backs up slowly in total shock. Samson nods his head with an angry smile at Carranza.]
BS: I'm BACK, Carranza and I'm your number one contender so guess what happens next time?! I'm going to run wild ALL OVER Fury and take the Viva Lucha Heavyweight Championship away from you just like you helped steal the King Of Kings Unified World Heavyweight Championship away from the Kings of Wrestling and me!
[HOLY MOLY THIS IS CRAZY POP]
JI: CARAMBA!
DH: AIEEEEEEEEE!
[Carranza stumbles against the ropes and shakes his head in a panic as he climbs out of the ring and heads towards his office when Samson calls out to him again.]
BS: Hey, Carranza...
[Samson points to his eye and then points towards the boss.]
BS: An EYE for an EYE!
[HOLY REVENGE POP]
JI: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! The stakes are BEYOND high now for that match! Not only will the Viva Lucha Heavyweight Championship be on the line but if Samson wins he's taking the belt back to Kings Of Wrestling!
DH: NO! THEY CAN NOT DO THAT, JOSE!!
[Carranza stumbles backwards into his office and stares at the ring through the open door and Blue Samson. He trembles nervously before ..]
*SLAM*
[Slamming the door of his office. He looks around nervously and in a panic.]
EGC: This can not be happening! How can this be happening?! Where is that phone?! The boys will know someway out of this.. There has to be some way...
*RING*
*RING*
[Carranza spots his cellphone on his desktop. He rushes to it and looks at the screen and his face contorts with confusion. He slides his finger across the screen and puts the phone to his ear.]
EGC: Who is this?! How did you get this number?!
Voice: I hear you've been looking for me.
EGC: Who... wait... is this?
[The scene switches to the interior of a simple apartment. A brown leather recliner sits by a stack of books and a table using a large book to keep it level. Panning over, we see the voice on the other side of the phone.]
Pinhead: Ian McAllister. But I go by a different name most days.
EGC (Over Phone): You're right. We have been looking for you.
Pinhead: Let's be honest here.
[Pinhead walks over to his window, shuttered close. With his free hand, he swings it wide open. The camera zooms outside to see down the road the one and only VL Arena.]
Pinhead: I'm not hard to find.
[Fade to sweet merficul black.]

Tei Shi - Crawl Space Review
“It pleases you to say you’re sorry when you’re not/It’s a dangerous slip of the tongue,” croons Tei Shi (aka Valerie Teicher) on “How Far,” her voice lilting, airy, and strange. She once described her output as “mermaid music”, and that seems even more apparent on tracks like “Keep Running" and “Justify,” which are go down smooth and move like water through your hands. While her previous music, like the superlative “Bassically”, sounded like they were piped from the future to our ears (Grimes described them as such), Crawl Space takes on an ‘80s flair, to the record’s detriment. The songs are less weird, and more easily characterized. No longer is Tei Shi a strange, impenetrable force, akin to a vampire; she is a pop singer, immediate and frustratingly underwhelming. Dispersed across the track list are three interludes, each from Teicher’s childhood. They are a strangely humorous diversion, showing off her early interest in music, and early self deprecation. “I’m a bad singer. Can’t do anything well. Think I sing so great, but I never really do anything right,” young Teicher says on “bad singer”. It’s funny, but it seems to lack any purpose on Crawl Space. Perhaps she’s interested in showing us how far she’s come (no pun intended), but it feels more like a show for her parents, who are the only ones likely to find this endearing. The best tracks on Crawl Space are the ones that dream the biggest. The blasting finish of “How Far” or the huge chorus of “Say You Do” or the spectacular Prince imitation of “Justify”. When Teicher tries to make a grand pop song, she often succeeds. But too often she dreams too small, like “Lift Me”, which has good ideas, but paces itself far too slow. Or on “Como Si”, where Teicher mistakes a Latin-inspired slow jam for a snooze fest. The chorus of “Crawl” is far too repetitive and boring to support such bland verses. It’s frustrating that she leaves the last thirty seconds of so many songs to pull out her best ideas. “How Far” doesn’t explode until the end, although it has strong enough verses and earlier choruses that it can support itself. “Sleepy” doesn’t find it’s emotional core until the very end, neither does “Lift Me”. There are songs like “Year 3k” that don’t ever find the direction it seems it was supposed to go in. There are moments of surprise buried inside this record, like the back end horns in “Creep” and the falling synth arpeggios of “Justify”. But just as many tracks offer nothing particularly new or interesting, like “Baby”, whose doo-wop 80’s-easy-listening blend is interesting, but lasts two minutes too long. The other looming issue of the record is Tei Shi as a pop star. If she isn’t going to hide behind layers of synths and bass, there needs to be someone with character and charisma at the center of the music. Sadly, despite the tarantula on her face on the cover (creating a spectacular pun on the phrase ‘crawl space’), Teicher isn’t as dangerous or extreme as that picture may have indicated. After enjoying “Bassically” and most of Verde, I have to say that Crawl Space disappointed me. I hoped for more futuristic vampire tunes, but instead I was given ‘80s flair without any of the melodrama, excitement, or sense of fun that artists like Carly Rae Jepsen or Blood Orange imbue their music with.
Favorite songs: How Far, Say You Do, Justify Least Favorite: Crawl, Como Si, Year 3k 6.9/10

Viva Lucha! Season 2 Episode 06
[Scene opens to a shot of a mirror. In the reflection we see someone familiar looking at different colored ties for his suit. His face is familiar but the expressions on his face are not because we have never seen Emanuel Gonzalo Carranza, el jefe of Viva Lucha, look so concerned.]
EGC: .. Red?
[He moves the red tie away from his collar area and holds up a dark blue one now.]
EGC: Blue?
[His head shakes and his face grimaces.]
EGC: I just can not decide!
[He grimaces for a moment longer when..]
*SWOOSH*
[We quickly pan over to see that we are inside his office where he apparently has added a mirror to his wall furnishings. But that is not important, his door is open and standing there with an expression of panic and concern is Professor Where!]
PW: Mr. Carranza! You have got to help me!
[Carranza has a mortified look for a moment as he holds the ties in his hands. He quickly shakes his head and tosses the ties aside and puts on an angrier expression.]
EGC: What do you think you are doing?!
[Carranza motions to the door.]
EGC: You think you can just barge into my office without an appointment?!
[Where sighs and makes a pleading expression.]
PW: My apologies, Mr. Carranza. I should have knocked first, I know.
EGC: You are DAMNED right you should have knocked first!
PW: But.. This is urgent!
[Where heads over to the chair stationed in front of Carranza's desk. El jefe rolls his eyes and then walks over to the door and closes it before making his way to his big comfy chair behind the desk and settling down in it with a tired expression.]
EGC: Ok. Alright. What is it Professor? What is so urgent you disturb me like this when it is not even business hours?
[Where leans forward.]
PW: It's Mary Sue, Mr. Carranza! Did you not see what was done to her?!
[Carranza shrugs his shoulders.]
EGC: I know the Robot kingdom did something to her.
PW: They used EL MARTINETE on her!
EGC: Not OK Boss is ... eccentric.
[Where has a horrified look on his face.]
PW: Eccentric?!
[Carranza rolls his eyes.]
EGC: He is insane, OK! He is maybe a psychopath.
PW: But that isn't even the worst part! The Cyborg Kingdom TOOK HER afterwards!
[Carranza throws his hands up in the air.]
EGC: The people LOVE Cyborg King! What do you want me to do about it?!
[Where's eyes grow wide as if he is dealing with a mad man.]
PW: I just want to find Mary! I've been looking and looking but no one has seen any sign of her or the robots or the cyborgs!
[Carranza taps on the desk.]
EGC: What is happening tonight, Professor?
[Where thinks about it for a moment and then makes a confused face.]
PW: Ladies night?
[A dark smile grows on Carranza's face.]
EGC: Si. Ladies Night. The only action those fans will see later tonight are the best female fighters in the entire world in my arena.
PW: So...
[Carranza rolls his eyes in frustration.]
EGC: I thought you were supposed to be smart or something. The Robot Kingdom and the Cyborg Kingdom have no reason to be here tonight! They are busy in Mexico with Tradicion Lucha Libre duties. So...
[He shrugs.]
EGC: I can not help you get answers and quite frankly...
[Carranza jabs a finger towards Where.]
EGC: I do not want to see you here tonight because tonight.. It is ALL about the ladies.
PW: But...
[EGC points towards the door.]
EGC: Good day, sir.
[Where's face has a look of pleading and desperation before defeat settles in. He nods sadly and gets up, walks to the door, opens it, walks out and then closes the door behind him. Carranza watches the door for a few moments before jumping out of his seat and quickly positioning himself in front of the mirror again.]
EGC: What about...
[He reaches offscreen and then holds a dark green tie up to his collar.]
EGC: Hmmm.....
[He studies his reflection as we fade to a black screen with white text that reads...]
"EGC Inc. & Tradicion Lucha Libre Present"
[And then red, green & white screens flash with silhouetted figures leaping off of turnbuckles while this theme song (https://youtu.be/f-Tx8JPHa6A) plays and then we get the logo..]
VIVA LUCHA!
[We cut to inside the packed VL Arena and we pan over the cheering fans who we notice immediately are predominantly female wrestling fans! There are ladies with signs cheering on the Elements! There are ladies with signs cheering on the Class of 2010! There are even ladies with signs for the Goblin Queen! And of course the Japanese fan contingent is representing in their usual spot! We get shots of all of this before we go to the announce table where Jose Ignacio and Diego Hernandez are both dressed in sharp looking dark blue suits with gray ties as they greet us with smiles.]
JI: Hola, fans and welcome to LADIES NIGHT here in VIVA LUCHA! I am Jose Ignacio and this is my broadcast colleague, Diego Hernandez!
[Diego rolls his eyes.]
DH: This again? When will you learn, Jose? I am not just anyone I am a HERNANDEZ! And while I am the hero in many ladies dreams my heart belongs to only one.
[Jose's eyes nearly bulge out of his head with surprise.]
JI: You have a girlfriend, Diego?!
[Diego makes an offended expression.]
DH: Why do you say that like it is such an impossible thing, Jose?! And NO I do not have a girlfriend but my heart is the belonging of the Enigmatic Masked Beauty who shall fly across the sky spreading fairy dust and joy to all!
[Jose shakes his head and soldiers on.]
JI: Well indeed we WILL be seeing "The Beautiful Master" Lady Warhawk later tonight because she will be competing in one of two cibernetico matches that are part of La Reina del El Centro tournament going on tonight to crown a number one contender for the JPWF Women's World Championship! The winner of those two ciberneticos will meet later tonight in our main event.
DH: We learned something else about those ciberneticos earlier, right?
JI: Si, Diego! Before going on the air we learned there was a random draw to create unique pairings in the teams so that will no doubt add a layer of intrigue to everything. But we can not forget that the winner of this tournament will be facing the winner of another match later tonight because the Goblin Queen will make her FIRST defense of the JPWF Women's World Championship when she goes one on one against the Elements' Gloria Butler!
DH: There is much history between those two from Bastard Stampede, Jose!
JI: It will be a heated battle for sure and tonight is set to be history filled night all around. So let's go to the ring where ring announcer Fernando Rodriguez is standing by to get LAIDES NIGHT started!
[We cut to inside the ring where we see Fernando, dressed in a highlighter pink tuxedo with highlighter yellow polka dots, a turquoise shirt and neon green bow tie and shoes.]
FR: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Viva Lucha's.. LADIES NIGHT!
[HUGE LADIES NIGHT POP]
FR: The following contest is a CIBERNETICO MATCH!
[HUGE POP]
FR: And is part of LA REINA DE EL CENTRO TOURNAMENT!
[BIGGER HUGE POP]
FR: Introducing the first team....
["When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zepplin ERUPTS over the PA and the fans LOSE THEIR MINDS MARKING OUT LIKE KIDS!]
FR: From the ELEMENTS.. Here are.. RACHEL "ARCEE" CARLISLE and.. TESLA ST. JAMES!
[MASSIVE SUPER DUPER POP as Tesla & Rachel walk out onto the entrance stage and proceed on their way towards the ring. Carlisle lookes fired up but St. James looks NEXT LEVEL THROUGH THE ROOF INTENSE as she stomps towards the ring.]
JI: The Elements have really taken the women's division by storm in Viva Lucha! Earlier this season they won a big atomicos match against the Class of 2010 and we have spoken often about the RAGE burning in Tesla St. James over the JPWF Women's World Champion, the Goblin Queen, destroying the MBC Women's World Championship belt.
DH: Well if she can win this tournament then she may get her wildest dreams come true to face off against the Queen of Destruction, unless her stablemate beats her to it tonight.
JI: That is a very real possibility.
[They climb into the ring and Carlisle pumps a fist towards the crowd who MARK OUT! Tesla goes to a corner and stares at the canvas with a burning fire in her eyes.]
DH: That is one scary look, Jose!
JI: Indeed.
[Music begins to play, (this music: https://youtu.be/B4dVbFhDmvQ ), and fans, especially Girl Fight fans, JUMP to their feet with SURPRISE!]
FR: Completing the first team and making their VIVA LUCHA DEBUT!
[POP]
FR: Here are CATHERINE MACDONALD and CRISTIANA from... THE CLASS OF 2011!
[A SURPRISINGLY BIG POP for the girl from Ireland and her stablemate from Portugal as they make their way out to the entrance ramp. Catherine is SUPER EXCITED to be there and is handing out high fives to fans while Cristiana arrogantly glares at everyone with a sneer on her face.]
JI: I can NOT believe it! The Class of 2011 are IN VIVA LUCHA!
DH: Cristiana, she has some bad blood with Teresa Villa of the Class of 2010, no?
JI: Si, Diego! Famously in 2014 during a ten woman elimination falls count anywhere match pitting Class of 2010 against the Class of 2011 in the Girl Fight promotion, Cristiana and Villa both fell of a balcony to the floor below, blinded by their blood lust against each other. And then there was the famous Iberian Grudge Match between them in Madrid that Villa ended up winning.
[MacDonald and Cristiana enter the ring and Catherine motions to the fans while Cristiana rolls her eyes.]
DH: Are you sure these two are in the same stable?
JI: Yes. There are many different and conflicting personalities in the Class of 2011.
[The music dies down and another bit of music, (this one: https://youtu.be/kuIG2vobCRg ), plays and fans JUMP TO THEIR FEET MARKING OUT!]
FR: And now introducing the second team! From the CLASS OF 2010.. Here are... ANNA WILLIAMS and TERESA VILLA!
[HUGE POP as Williams, Villa and Valerie Bloom walk out onto the entrance ramp. Anna & Teresa are in their ring gear while Bloom is dressed in the Class of 2010 hoodie and designer jeans and sneakers.]
DH: Oh boy, Jose!
[Cristiana is BRISTLING in the ring as she shoots DEATH MURDER EYES towards the Spaniard, Teresa Villa as she makes her way towards the ring. Catherine introduces herself to Carlisle and tries to introduce herself to St. James but the redhead isn't very social tonight.]
JI: We should have known that these two would cross paths almost immediately here in Viva Lucha. They are eternal rivals fated to do battle forever!
[A very excited Anna Williams climbs into the ring and jumps around pumping her fist in the air as Valerie Bloom and Villa climb in after her.]
*BUMP*
[GASP]
DH: Wow!
JI: It's kicking off already!
[Cristiana bumps full on into Villa as soon as she enters the ring and now MacDonald is having to pull her stablemate back while Williams and Bloom hold Villa back as well!]
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
JI: We haven't even gotten all of this team out to the ring yet and the crowd is ready for the throw down to start.
DH: Iberian passion is contagious it seems, Jose!
[Suddenly new music plays over the PA, (this music: https://youtu.be/gPbaanAn30E ), and fans, especially the Tradicion Lucha Libre and Girl Fight fans.. JUMP TO THEIR FEET!]
FR: Here is.. SENORA ROJA!
[Roja, with her red mask and red gear, walks out and flashes a cocky smile towards the crowd who are to be honest... MARKING OUT!]
JI: The last time we saw Roja in Viva Lucha she was still the Mexican National Women's Champion. She has since lost the championship to Maria Torres in Mexico but now she is here in Viva Lucha!
DH: There is no ruda like her, Jose! No one better take her for granted because she will find a way to win this cibernetico, you watch and see!
[Roja, who's hips move side to side as she walks towards the ring, eats up the love the crowd is giving her.]
JI: Despite being a ruda, Roja has remained very popular in our native country of Mexico but recent months her popularity has risen here in the States because of her instagram account.
DH: Her work out videos, her pictures with her pomeranian, her beach photos.. It is a must follow account, Jose! I follow it!
JI: (very quietly) So do I.
DH: What was that, Jose?
JI: N-nothing. Nada.
[Roja climbs into the ring and she gives Williams, Villa and Bloom the look over before laughing and motioning to the fans.]
[RUDA POP]
[Tesla St. James is looking ready to EXPLODE in her corner.]
DH: I hope this match starts soon or who knows what that one will do.
JI: St. James is very focused tonight on the task ahead.
[Suddenly the lights begin to dim and fog begins to emit around the entrance stage.]
[WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON POP]
DH: What is happening?
JI: I.. Am going to guess the last member of the second team is about to make their entrance but.. I can't think of who it could be?
[Fans watch as the fog builds up and then music, (this music: https://youtu.be/LYV2Gtql370 ), plays and fans KIND OF FREAK OUT!!]
DH: No!
JI: Oh My!
[A figure with dark hair and tattered clothes makes a herky jerky walk through the fog and the dim lights.]
FR: And completing the second team AND making their VIVA LUCHA DEBUT... here is.... ZOMBIE GIRL!
[IT IS REALLY HER SUPER KITSCHY OVER THE TOP MARK OUT POP]
[The lights go blue and purple as Zombie Girl, with her white, black and purple face paint, makes her way towards the ring doing a zombie walk and biting at the air. Fans are FREAKING OUT! Everyone in the ring has stopped what they are doing and are staring with kind of weirded out expressions except for Tesla St. James who just looks ready to punch someone's face in.]
JI: ZOMBIE GIRL is in Viva Lucha!
DH: Oh, Jose. El jefe is a smart man indeed! The MERCHANDISE sales for her are going to go through the roof!
JI: Indeed, she was a major merchandise mover for the Girl Fight promotion despite not being a very note worthy fighter.
[Zombie Girl climbs into the ring and makes zombie poses before biting in the air towards the Pink Masked referee who and Fernando Rodriguez who quickly SCRAMBLES out of the ring!]
[SCARED THE RING ANNOUNCER POP]
JI: For the viewers at home we will quickly go over the rules of the cibernetico match. It is an elimination style match where competitors can tag out to their partners if they wish to do so but usually works as a series of singles matches with surviving competitors switching out with team mates for the next round. The eliminations do not stop til only one competitor is left the victor which can mean that team mates may end up fighting each other if a team was to successfully eliminate all of the other team.
DH: They get it, they get it, Jose! Let the tournament commence!
********************************************************** La Reina de El Centro Qualifying Match: [Cibernetico Rules]
Tesla St. James [Elements], Rachel "Arcee" Carlisle [Elements], Catherine MacDonald [Class of 2011] & Cristiana [Class of 2011]
vs
Teresa Villa [Class of 2010], Anna Williams [Class of 2010], Senora Roja & Zombie Girl **********************************************************
[Anna, Teresa and Roja begin to discuss who will start out for them when Zombie Girl starts biting towards them and the three of them climb out of the ring and allow her to start off for their team. Cristiana tries to assert she will begin for her team but Tesla St. James grabs her and shoves her through the ropes and asserts that she will start off.]
[HUGE POP]
DH: Guess that settles that debate.
JI: It is one way to do it.
[Pink Mask motions to Fernando who rings the bell..]
*DING*
[BIG POP]
JI: THE FIRST CIBERNETICO OF LA REINA DE EL CENTRO IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!
DH: When will you retire that line?! The torment!
[Zombie Girl rushes at Tesla with clawing motions and biting at the air. The redhead dodges the bites and swipes before planting her feet and LAUNCHING at Zombie Girl with a STIFF European uppercut that floors the undead grappler! Tesla scrambles for an ankle lock but Zombie Girl quickly grabs ahold of her leg and starts to BITE it! St. James releases the ankle lock and scrambles away and flashes FURIOUS eyes at the horror themed fighter. Zombie Girl bites at the air as she gets to her feet and charges again only for Tesla to catch her with a knee to the midsection before hooking her for a SIDE RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP! Tesla scrambles to her feet as Zombie Girl rolls over onto her stomach and then gets on all fours and begins crawling around the ring after St. James biting at the air.]
[ZOMBIE POP]
DH: I do not know why people love this but.. they love it!
JI: The power of pop culture, Diego.
[Zombie's antics only seem to piss Tesla off more and the Canadian fighter kicks her opponent in the face before pulling her up to her feet, hooking her head and...]
*WHAM*
[BIG POP]
JI: WHAT A DDT by St. James!
DH: She planted her HARD, Jose!
[Zombie Girl lays motionless while Tesla gets to her feet and starts to reach down and grab her opponent when...]
*SPRING*
[HOLY MOLY POP]
DH: AIEEEEEEEEEEE!
[Zombie Girl SPRINGS UP onto her knees with her hands up and biting at the air with renewed passion! St. James jumps back for a moment, caught a bit off guard by this sudden spring to life but then she sees it's more zombie antics and she is RENEWED in her anger! Zombie gets to her feet and lunges for Tesla only for St. James to side step out of the way and hook Zombie Girl by her arms from behind and...]
*THROW*
*THUDDDADOOOMATHUDDDD*
[MASSIVE HOLY MOLY GIANT POP]
JI: GONE TO TEXAS! St. James hit her Tiger Suplex on Zombie Girl out of nowhere!
[Pink Mask leaps to position and starts the count..]
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
[HUGE POP]
FR: ZOMBIE GIRL HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
JI: Tesla St. James making a strong statement here by eliminating Zombie Girl quickly!
[Tesla climbs out of the ring onto the apron while Zombie Girl is rolled out of the ring by the pink masked official. Catherine MacDonald leaps into the ring, just beating Carlisle into making it in first, and Anna Williams is ready to jump in when Senora Roja grabs her shoulder and shakes her head and then steps in.]
DH: Look like it will be the Irish against Roja next, Jose!
[Catherine is fired up and goes to lock up but the former Mexican National Women's Champion side steps her and strikes one of her swimsuit poses from her Instagram account with a smile. MacDonald is agitated by this and rushes at her Mexican masked opponent who catches her with a boot to the midsection before dragging Catherine to the ropes and dragging her face along the top rope! MacDonald stumbles away holding her face in pain while Roja laughs then follows after her. Roja rakes Catherine's back before spinning her around and grabbing two handfuls of hair and tossing the Irish fighter across the ring by her hair! MacDonald gets to her knees before eating a boot to the face and then Roja hops onto her back and applies a surfboard submission hold and the pink masked official asks if Catherine wants to give up but MacDonald says "No".]
JI: Some cheap tactics have gained Roja this advantage.
DH: All that matters is having the advantage, Jose, and Roja has it!
[Roja stretches Catherine for a while before releasing the hold and running off the ropes for a double knee drop.. But MacDonald rolled out of the way! The fighter from Ireland pulled herself up and caught the former Mexican National Women's champion with a series of forearm smashes before hitting a vertical suplex! MacDonald then climbed to the 2nd turnbuckle, motioned to the fans and lept off with an elbow drop but now it was Roja's turn to move out of the way! Roja tried to set up for a Roja Driver but MacDonald fought out of the attempt and went for a small package!]
ONE!
TWO!!
TH-NO!
[POP]
JI: Catherine MacDonald almost eliminated Roja!
DH: She was pulling the tights, Jose! She was cheating!
[Catherine went to grab Roja but the masked ruda slipped behind her and rolled her up with an inside cradle and grabbed a handful of tights!]
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
[RUDA POP]
FR: CATHERINE MACDONALD HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
JI: Roja pulled the tights to eliminate MacDonald!
DH: What?! You are spreading lies, Jose! She was just pulling up the tights to save the modesty of her opponent!
[Roja laughs heartily after getting away with cheating as she climbs out of the ring. Villa and Williams give her a disapproving look before Anna hops over the ropes and into the ring. Carlisle is ready to get in the ring as MacDonald curses on her way out but Cristiana dives through the ropes to beat her to it. Tesla cracks a smile actually at her stablemate's frustration at not getting in the match yet. Cristiana looks Anna up and down with a disgusted look then points at Villa and tells her to get in the ring.]
[BIG POP]
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
JI: This crowd really wants to see the Iberian rivalry tonight!
DH: Villa wants to give it to them!
[Teresa motions for Anna to tag her in but Roja gets in the way and shakes her head "No". Anna and Villa argue with the ruda but the masked ruda... talks to them and is explaining something.]
JI: I did not think we would see Roja talking strategy with her team mates.
DH: Well ultimately it is every competitor for themselves in a cibernetico, Jose. She no doubt has an end game here that she wants to play out.
[Villa and Williams listen to Roja's case and... They agree with her! Villa flashes an antagonizing smile at her Portugese rival as she now refuses to get in the ring and it's Williams who is ready to do battle. Cristiana is ENRAGED at this and charges at Villa in the corner but Anna grabs her from behind and ROLLS HER UP!]
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-NO!
[BIG POP]
JI: Cristiana's rage nearly got her eliminated in seconds!
DH: Temper will kill all ambition in this world, Jose. It is only right to lose it when it involves you.
[Cristiana scrambles to her feet and lunges for the niece of Stephanie Delacroix but Williams dodges and catches the Portugese with a forearm smash before scooping her up and slamming her down! Cristiana scrambles to her feet only to eat a dropkick which sends her into a corner. Anna pumps her fist and charges into the corner with a running shoulder tackle that doubles the Portugese over! Cristiana stumbles out of the corner and collapses to her knees as Williams climbs to the 2nd turnbuckle. The angry Portugese fighter gets up only to be blasted across the ring with a FLYING FOREARM SMASH! Anna scrambles to make a cover but Cristiana rolls away and grabs the ropes to pull herself up quickly. Cristiana looks at Anna with wild eyes and then at Villa who is now laughing and pointing at her Iberian rival after a signal from Roja.]
JI: Villa seems to be employing some mind games on her Iberian rival.
DH: This is really the work of Senora Roja, Jose. The master plan begins to take shape here.
[Cristiana GROWLS as she tries to run past Williams to charge at Villa but Williams trips her to the canvas and starts to set up for a BOSTON CRAB! But Cristiana wiggles free and scrambles to her feet and throws a wild right punch at Anna who dodges while hooking the arm and taking Cristiana down into a BACKSLIDE ROLL UP!]
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-NO!
[POP]
JI: Cristiana's temper once again has nearly costed her in this match.
DH: The plans of Roja are paying off!
[The Portugese gets to her feet as quickly as she can only to be find herself scooped up once again and slammed down on the canvas yet again! Williams gives her a standing elbow drop before pulling her up to a seated position and slapping on a headlock! Cristiana rages and flails about while Anna grinds the side headlock. Not finding a way out the Portugese escapes the only way available.. BY CLAWING AT ANNA'S FACE!]
[BOOS]
JI: Cristiana CLAWING at Williams' face!
DH: Well it broke the headlock, Jose.
[Anna grabs her face and stumbles away while Villa and Valerie Bloom protest outside the ring. Cristiana gets to her feet and grabs ahold of Anna's wavey hair and slams her back of headfirst down on the canvas by it!]
[BOOS]
JI: Our fans are not happy with this.
DH: They are not fighting in a match with a chance to fight for a shot at the most prestigious belt in female fighting also, Jose.
[Anna grimaces as she holds the back of her head while laying on the canvas. Valerie Bloom, not an active competitor in the match, watches with high concern as Cristiana starts to climb the turnbuckles. The Portugese points at Villa and tells her to watch what she does to Teresa's stablemate and very loosely related relative via the marriage of Pablo O'Connor and Stephanie Delacroix. Cristiana prepares to leap off the turnbuckle when...]
*SHOVE*
*THUD*
[WOWZA POP]
DH: CARAMBA!
JI: VALERIE BLOOM! She.. She just shoved Cristiana off the top!
DH: She is not in this match, Jose!
[Roja looks at Bloom with a look of horror while Valerie looks a bit surprised at what she just did herself. The pink masked referee looks at Cristiana on the canvas then at Bloom on the apron and motions to Fernando.]
FR: As a result of a disqualification.. ANNA WILLIAMS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
[BIG BOOS]
JI: Valerie Bloom has gotten her stablemate eliminated in a move to protect Williams!
DH: Everyone needs to watch their temper, Jose! Look at what it has nearly costed Cristiana and now has costed Williams by no fault of her own!
[Anna sits up and throws her arms in exasperation at Bloom. Valerie shrugs with a pleading look and the official motions for both women to leave the ringside area. Williams rolls out of the ring and complains at Valerie who apologizes profusely as they make their way to the back.]
JI: Interestingly enough on our last episode Valerie saved Williams from getting slapped by Mary Sue.
DH: There is something afoot there, Jose.
[Rachel has a MASSIVE smile on her face because NOW she FINALLY gets to jump into the match... But Cristiana rises and shakes a finger at the Elements member.]
[BOOS]
JI: Cristiana isn't stepping out?
DH: I think we all know what is going on here, Jose.
[The Portugese adamantly shakes her head and finger at Carlisle and St. James and grabs the pink masked official and states she is not leaving the match. Arcee protests and Tesla's anger seems to be firing up again but the official maintains that Cristiana can stay in the match if she chooses to. And then with a dark smile Cristiana turns and points at Villa. Teresa nods her head and looks towards Roja. The masked ruda is recovering from her plans falling apart a bit by Valerie Bloom's impulsive actions and she gives an irritated nod. And Villa hops into the ring.]
[HUGE POP]
JI: Oh boy!
DH: The Iberian rivalry brought to you by Cherry Cola!
JI: Que?!
DH: We have to work in the plugs more, Jose!
[The Iberians walk up to each other in the middle of the ring and Cristiana begins the trash talking. Teresa listens for a bit then chuckles and...]
*SMACK*
[GIANT POP]
[The forearms and elbow smashes begin FLYING as both women tear into one another! Back and forth the blows fly before Villa's shots hit harder and faster and Cristi is staggering into the ropes! Teresa trips her Portugese rival and starts to lock on a legbar! Cristiana frantically scrambles away and grabs the ropes. Villa grabs Cristi's legs and drags her away from the ropes before going for a twisting toe hold but the Portugese kicks her away. Cristiana gets to her feet and she leaps onto Villa with a LOU THESZ PRESS and starts raining hard shots down on her rival! But Teresa catches her right arm and rolls over on top of her and starts to put on a Cross Arm Breaker! Once more Cristi scrambles free and this time hugs the ropes while shooting death glares at her rival.]
[BIG POP]
JI: The technical prowess of Teresa Villa is giving Cristiana lots of problems!
DH: Well she was strained by Lotus Flower, no?
JI: Lotus Flower of the Class of '96 and Team Love fame from Japan. Considered by many to be one of the most knowledgeable trainers in all of professional wrestling.
DH: Roll ups and submission wrestling are her forte and you see it on display with Villa.
[Cristiana circles around Villa more cautiously but still looking at her with eyes of pure anger and hatred. They go to lock up and the Portugese uses the great equalizer..]
[BOOS]
JI: A thumb to the eye!
DH: That is the best way to counter anything, Jose!
[Cristiana gleefully assaults her rival with punches to the face with her right hand while holding her by the hair with the left. Pink mask gets on her case about it so Cristi drags Villa to a corner and goes to ram her face first into the turnbuckles but Teresa blocks it and elbows her rival HARD in the stomach which causes her to stumble away!]
[POP]
[Villa then goes to grab Cristiana but gets a rake to the face for her troubles. The Portugese grabs Villa and charges at the corner and shoves her with all she has into the corner chest first! Villa bounces to the canvas and quickly finds herself gasping for air as Cristiana chokes her with a knee!]
[HUGE BOOS]
JI: Cristiana is outright choking her here!
DH: Temper, Jose. Temper is still the issue.
[Pink mask puts a count on Cristiana and she lets up only to then begin choking Villa with her forearm! Villa kicks about and the official starts another count and when the Portugese breaks the choke Villa quickly rolls away. Cristiana curses at her Iberian rival and follows after her, dragging Villa up and going for a BACKDROP SUPLEX.. but Villa struggles free and lands behind Cristi, grabs her and pushes her into the ropes before using the momentum off the ropes to roll her up!]
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-NO!
[POP]
JI: Cristiana just barely escaped there!
DH: She needs to watch her temper, Jose! We mentioned already, Villa has been trained by someone who is a master of roll ups and submissions!
[The Portugese is all anger and emotions as she scrambles in a mad rage to lunge at her rival who proves Diego a PROPHET because she hooks Cristiana and then..]
[HUGE POP]
JI: VILLA HAS CRISTIANA ROLLED UP WITH A LOTUS-CLUTCH!
DH: CARAMBA!
JI: The referee is leaping into place...
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
[GIANT POP]
FR: CRISTIANA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
[Cristiana screams in gutteral RAGE and frustration while Villa rolls towards her corner while holding her throat.]
JI: Cristiana let her anger blind her and she got caught by a roll up invented by Lotus Flower that is nearly impossible to kick out of!
DH: Tesla would be smart to learn of what dangers await those who follow blind rage, Jose!
[St. James is giving the anger a break actually because she is chuckling as her stablemate, Rachel Carlisle, gleefully jumps into the ring.. FINALLY getting her chance to fight in this match! Roja climbs in while Villa catches her breath on the apron. Cristiana is on the floor and is still RAGING at being eliminated by her rival.]
JI: Officials are trying to get Cristiana to head to the back.
DH: She will have lots of chances to fight her rival in the future but it is over tonight.
[Carlisle and Roja begin circling one another until they lock up. Rachel puts a side headlock on the masked ruda who pulls on the tights of her opponent to push her towards the ropes before attempting to whip her off of her. Attempting because it doesn't quite work out that way, Arcee keeps the headlock on and drags Roja away from the ropes. Meanwhile outside the ring, Cristiana is raging at the officials who want her to head to the back while Villa rests on her knees on the apron in her corner, still recovering from being choked by the Portugese. Inside the ring Roja once again pushes Carlisle to the ropes and this time succeeds in whipping her off of her, breaking the side headlock. As Rachel runs off the ropes Roja goes for a clothesline but the Element ducks, hooks the ruda's arm and HIP TOSSES HER ACROSS THE RING!]
[BIG POP]
JI: What a hip toss by Carlisle!
DH: She pulled on the mask!
JI: We all know Roja is the one most likely to do pulls in her offense here, Diego.
[The former Mexican National Women's Champion scrambles to her feet only to get tossed over again, this time by an arm drag and then Carlisle slaps another side headlock to ground the masked ruda. Outside the ring Cristiana FINALLY heads to the back and we get a POP from the fans over that. Back in the ring, Rachel is setting up and then hits a vertical suplex on Roja. The masked ruda rolls towards the ropes but her Element opponent grabs ahold of her and drags her up to her feet and scoops her up and hits a backbreaker! Roja grits her teeth from the pain as Arcee goes for the cover but the ruda gets free before the count can begin.]
[WHAT'S HAPPENING POP]
JI: There seems to be some kind of commotion..
DH: OH!
[Cristiana, with at least three officials following her, comes running out from the back with a steel chair in her hand and before Villa knows what is happening..]
*SMACK*
[CHAIR SHOT POP]
JI: WHAT IS SHE DOING?!
DH: She is getting some revenge, Jose!
[MASSIVE BOOS as Villa collapses onto the apron holding her back. Pink mask, Rachel and Roja all stop what they're doing in the ring and watch as Cristiana threatens the officials before lifting up the chair and...]
*SMACK*
JI: That's TWO chair shots!
DH: Villa may have won the battle but it appears Cristiana is winning the war!
[Teresa is in a world of pain as officials finally grab the chair out of Cristiana's hands. The Portugese curses at them but then curses at Villa before angrily heading towards the back. Roja quickly glances at Carlisle and the pink masked referee not paying attention to her and then she springs into action!]
[RUDA POP]
JI: ROJA IS CATCHING CARLISLE OFF GUARD WITH A ROLL UP!
DH: The official sees it now, Jose!
[Tesla tries to shout a warning to her stablemate but Roja gets the pull of the tights...]
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
[HUGE RUDA POP]
FR: RACHEL CARLISLE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
[Roja leaps in the air and pumps her fist in celebration while Arcee is SHOCKED that she just got flash pinned by the ruda! Tesla is PISSED now for sure and she starts climbing into the ring. The masked ruda quickly scrambles out of the ring, grabs the injured Villa and shoves her through the ropes and into the ring before making as innocent a face as a masked ruda can make.]
[Half SUPER BOOS half SUPER RUDA POP]
JI: Oh! Now come on!
DH: Que?
JI: Villa just ate TWO chair shots from Cristiana! She can't be expected to do battle right away!
DH: Senora Roja had the option to step out of the match, Jose, and.. She has chosen to exercise that.
[St. James GLARES at Roja while Carlisle offers the redhead her encouragements before leaving the ring, frustrated at how little time she got in the match. The Pink masked referee checks on Teresa Villa who grimaces as she struggles to get to her knees. Tesla gives one last death ray look at Roja before rushing past the official and dragging Villa up to her feet.]
JI: I think Roja will not have bought herself as much time as she is hoping for.
[Tesla scoops up Villa before...]
*THUDADOOM*
[HOLY MOLY POP]
JI: GOLGOTHA DRIVER!
DH: CARAMBA!
JI: St. James with the cover...
[The Pink Masked official shakes her head but goes to make the count.]
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
[BIG POP]
FR: TERESA VILLA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
[Senora Roja shakes her head, unhappy with how things are turning out, while St. James rises to her feet and points at the masked ruda and motions for her to get in the ring. Pink Mask has officials help her get Villa out of the ring.]
JI: I am not sure what Roja's plan was but it must be out the window now.
DH: Her plan was easy to see, Jose. She was going to have Anna use the blind anger of Cristiana to eliminate her then hope Villa could catch Carlisle in a Lotus-clutch or a submission and then use both Anna and Teresa to wear down St. James for her to finish up.
JI: QUE? How do you know all of that?
DH: I do not KNOW for sure, Jose, but it seems the obvious conclusion. But as you said, it is pretty much out the window now.
[Roja climbs into the ring but quickly ducks back through the ropes and out of the ring as St. James comes charging at her. Tesla climbs out of the ring and gives chase to Roja. The ruda slides back into the ring and tries to catch St. James following in after her but Tesla fakes the slide in and Roja's attack hits canvas and Tesla reaches in and pulls Roja out of the ring to the floor outside and BLASTS her with a STIFF European Uppercut that sends the masked woman from Mexico to the floor!]
[HUGE POP]
JI: Roja is giving Tesla every opportunity she has been wanting now to release all her anger and frustation!
DH: Do not forget the lessons of Cristiana, Jose! Blind anger can lead to a downfall!
[Tesla drags the masked ruda up and whips her HARD into the office wall of el jefe, EGC. We see the blinds open on the office window and spy Carranza peering out as St. James pulls Roja up once again and now rolls her under the ropes and back in the ring where she follows in after her. Roja scrambles to her feet and goes for an open handed chop to the chest but Tesla uses both hands to knock it away and nails a knee to the midsection. Roja doubles over and St. James hooks her head and hits a SWINGING NECKBREAKER! St. James goes for a cover but Roja scrambles out from under her and tries to roll towards the ropes. The redhead catches her and drags her from the ropes and pulls her scooping her up and..]
*THUD*
[BIG POP]
JI: What a sidewalk slam by St. James! She's going for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
[BOOS]
DH: YES!
JI: Roja thumbed Tesla in the eye to get out of the pin attempt!
DH: Everything is on the line right now, Jose!
[Tesla holds her eye as she growls. Roja uses the ropes to get to her feet and then then launches an attack on St. James with forearm smashes and open handed chops but Tesla staggers her back with a HARD elbow smash and then the redhead grabs Roja by her masked head and put her head under her jaw and falls down sending Roja stumbling into a corner from the impact of the Jawbreaker! Tesla charges in with a knee another elbow smash before climbing onto the 2nd turnbuckle and beginning to rain punches down!]
Crowd: ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
[MASSIVE BOOS]
JI: Come on!
DH: Que?
JI: Roja used a rake to the eyes to stop St. James!
DH: Well the Canadian was using PUNCHES on her, Jose! Like I said, everything is on the line! One of these two women are going to the finals, Jose!
[Tesla stumbles, blinded by the rake the eyes but is then FLOORED by a running DROPKICK from the masked ruda. Roja gets to her feet and rests against the ropes, catching her breath and recovering. When St. James gets to her feet Roja jumps her from behind and then sends her backfirst into a corner. The former Mexican National Women's Champion walks away, doing her exaggerated side to side hip movement and winking at the crowd before charging at her foe with a jumping knee...]
*THUD*
[GIANT POP]
JI: ST. JAMES MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! Roja hit her knee HARD in the corner!
DH: NO!
[Roja winces as she holds her knee, hopping on one leg out of the corner only for a look of surprise as Tesla grabs her injured leg. The masked ruda pleads for mercy but Tesla...]
*TWIST*
[MASSIVE POP]
JI: DRAGON CORKSCREW by St. James!
DH: AIEEEEEEE!
[Senora Roja cries out in pain as she holds her knee and Tesla only GLARES down at her opponent before pulling the ruda to the center of the ring and hooking the legs to set up...]
[HOLY MOLY SUPER DUPER POP]
JI: IRISH RED! ST. JAMES HAS HER TEXAS CLOVERLEAF HOLD ON ROJA!
DH: BAH!
*THUD* *THUD* *THUD*
*DING DING DING*
[SHAKE THE RAFTERS SUPER POP]
JI: ROJA TAPPED OUT!! Let's get the official word!
FR: SENORA ROJA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED! The winner of the cibernetico and advancing to La Reina de el Centro finals is... TESLA ST. JAMES!
["When the Levee Breaks" hits the PA as Tesla leaps to her feet and does a little VICTORY ROAR! While the fans MARK OUT LIKE KIDS!]
JI: Tesla St. James is one step closer to her goal!
DH: I guess she is mastering her anger in all the right ways, Jose. It did not cost her like it did others earlier!
JI: What a win for St. James and in a bit we will find out who she will face in the finals when our other cibernetico commences!
[We get a few more shots of Tesla celebrating while Roja cradles her knee before we fade to the VL Arena lobby. There are several tables set up, all with merchandise- DVD’s, t-shirts, action figures. Fans are walking in front of the tables, and several of the Viva Lucha stars are behind the tables, chatting and taking pictures with the fans. One table has two of the Viva Lucha wrestlers hawking their wares. Terry Adams is selling DVDs of season 1 Viva Lucha, while "Overkill" Joey Malone is autographing a t-shirt to a fan.]
TA: I need to get a t-shirt of my own.
OJM: Definitely, man. If for no other reason than the freebies alone. My whole closet is full of them.
TA: At least I’d have something to wear for around the house. Still on my own for formalwear, though.
OJM: That's what the "Overkill 2007 Tuxedo T-Shirt" line was for. Came in glow-in-the-dark and day-go yellow.
TA: (raising an eyebrow) Two of them? And why would anyone wear them other than me?
OJM: Easy Hannukah presents.
TA: The DVD’s and posters are making a few extra bucks- but t-shirts are the big sellers. Heck, I’m even selling other people’s shirts to make rent.
[Holds up a Goblin Queen t-shirt that shows the Queen staring down and the phrase ‘NOW IS THE TIME WHEN YOU SHOULD RUN’ underneath. A fan walks over and holds out some money. Terry sells the Goblin Queen t-shirt, and pulls out another shirt- this one with a picture of the masked wrestler Question Mark and the words ‘YOU DON’T KNOW THE ANSWER’ underneath. Overkill grimaces as he sees the shirt.]
OJM: Yeah, don't be selling his shirts, man. He won't do you any favors.
TA: His shirt’s selling, and no one else is hawking them. How do you know that?
OJM: Trust my gut. I think he'd toss you down a well and laugh before helping you. Then he'd set it on fire. And seal it in concreate. With chainsaws. You need your own shirts.
TA: You’re not wrong, but…
[A trio of female fans approach the table, giggly and effervescent.]
Female #1: Joey, can you sign our melons?
[Terry's eyes go wide...]
TA: Ummm...
[...until the nice ladies bring out an assortment of Overkill branded honeydew, cantaloupe and watermelon.]
OJM: Oh and fresh fruit. Definitely fresh fruit.
[Joey turns to Terry with a smile.]
OJM: You won't see Question Mark bananas I bet.
TA: Fruit? I get the shirts, but… fruit?
OJM: Why not?
TA: Don’t they go bad?
OJM: Repeat business.
[Overkill finishes signing the fruit, and gets a joint picture with the ladies- one of them pausing to stop in front of Overkill and hand him a card with a phone number. Giggling, the women leave. Terry shakes his head.]
TA: I have GOT to get some merchandise of my own.
[We fade to inside EGC's office where we see el jefe himself, Emanuel Gonzalo Carranza, putting the finishing touches to his suit in front of the mirror.]
EGC: Do not keep me in suspense, Hector.
[A short, lean, mustached Mexican man dressed in a gray suit with a blue shirt and a dark gray tie and very short black hair, appears behind Carranza.]
H: I did some reserach about Mighty Bastard Championship and the legal status of their Women's World Championship. First, let me make clear that it was not easy finding information on this matter.
[Carranza rolls his eyes.]
EGC: I have never known Hector Moreno to be a man who cowers from difficult assignments.
[Hector nods.]
HM: I am not complaining, el jefe, rather explaining why the answers I have for you may not be complete ones.
[Carranza looks back at Hector with an annoyed expression.]
EGC: Are you telling me you have found nothing?
[Hector smiles nervously.]
HM: No, I have found something...
[Carranza returns to checking his outfit in the mirror.]
EGC: Then out with it, Hector!
[Moreno takes a deep breath then begins.]
HM: I have discovered the existence of a document that has all the answers for any question in regards to MBC championships. That document is... The Bastardnomicon!
[Carranza stops what he's doing, frozen as the name hits him. He makes an uneasy face.]
EGC: Really?
HM: Si, el jefe.
[Carranza swallows hard before making a worried face.]
EGC: Please tell me you did not bring that document into my arena, Hector.
[Moreno shakes his head.]
HM: No, el jefe. That is the problem actually. We can not FIND the Bastar-
[Carranza spins around quickly holding up a finger and Moreno stops talking.]
EGC: You do not have to repeat the name, Hector. Once is enough for a day.
[Carranza heads over to his desk as Hector follows.]
HM: Understood, el jefe.
[Carranza grabs his cellphone off his desk and some keys and turns towards Moreno with a dark smile.]
EGC: You have done well, Hector.
[Moreno is happily surprised.]
HM: Gracias, el jefe!
EGC: But I know you can do even better and that is why I am giving you the assignment of tracking this document down.
[Hector's smile fades.]
HM: You want me to track it down?
[Carranza smiles as he nods.]
EGC: Si, Hector. I am charging you with finding this document and discovering the answers to my questions about the MBC Women's World Championship. I know I can count on you to do this BUT...
[EGC leans in close, peering directly into Hector's eyes.]
EGC: Do not bring that document here into my arena under any circumstances!
[Hector nods his head with a frightened expression.]
HM: Si. Si, el jefe. Understood.
[Carranza straights up and arches an eyebrow.]
EGC: But find it, Hector. I need answers. Do not disappoint me.
[Hector nods his head.]
HM: I will find it, el jefe.
[Carranza looks towards the door.]
EGC: Now if you will excuse me, Hector.. I have a date.
[Hector is legit surprised at this and Emanuel flashes a mischievous smile as he heads towards the door. We cut back to the wrestling ring where the horribly dressed Fernando is standing by.]
FR: The following contest is a CIBERNETICO MATCH and is part of LA REINA DE EL CENTRO TOURNAMENT!
[HUGE POP]
["Return of the Phantom Stranger (Tuesday Night at the Chop Shop Remix)" by Rob Zombie plays over the PA and fans.. LEAP TO THEIR FEET MARKING OUT! And so does Diego.]
DH: BE STILL MY BEATING HEART!
JI: Diego! Calmate!
FR: Introducing the first team! From the ELEMENTS stable here is... "THE BEAUTIFUL MASTER"... LADY WARHAWK!!!
[MASSIVE POP as the beautiful masked wrestler in a very colorful gear and her red hooded cloak walks out towards the ring.]
DH: A thing of beauty is a joy forever! Its lovliness increases, it will never pass into nothingness, but still will keep a bower quiet for us, and a sleep full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
JI: Diego! How do you know poetry by John Keats?!
DH: QUE?! Those words came from me, Jose! They are inspired by the enigmatic beauty arriving to the ring like a rose cutting through the drab and dredge of reality!
[Lady Warhawk leaps into the ring and climbs to the top turnbuckle and gets a HUGE POP from the crowd.]
DH: Your two masked eyes will slay me suddenly; Their beauty shakes me who was once serene; Straight through my heart the wound is quick and keen!
JI: You really have to stop plagiarizing famous poems, Diego.
DH: QUE?! Masked beautiful goddess before me do not listen to the lies by my broadcast partner who is jealous of my Hernandez blood and upbringing!
[Suddenly music, (this music: https://youtu.be/sHb_FJOQ18w ), erupts over the PA and fans, especially the Japanese contingent and Girl Fight fans, GO ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!]
FR: From the FIERCE promotion in Japan.. From the CHAOS AD stable... Here are... T-HONDA and MEGUMI KOSAKA!
[Kosaka and Honda walk out with serious expressions on their faces. They ignore the crowd who are quite frankly LOSING THEIR MINDS FOR THEM as they make their way to the ring.]
JI: OH MY GOODNESS! Former JPWF Women's World Champion and also a former Double Crown Women's Tag Team Champion, Megumi Kosaka, is here with T-Honda to fight in La Reina de el Centro tournament!
DH: OH JOSE!! This is INCREDIBLE! Not only are these two of the very BEST female fighters on the planet.. ROY HARPER WILL BE JEALOUS BEYOND JEALOUS THAT HE IS NOT HERE TO SEE THIS!!!
[Lady Warhawk nods her head as she watches two of the best women's wrestlers from Japan climb into the ring. Kosaka and Honda glance at each other before looking over at the Beautiful Master. Both parties study each other for a moment before nodding their heads and go back to preparing for the match ahead.]
JI: There were talks that the FIERCE promotion in Japan were going to be doing some talent exchange with our parent promotion, Tradicion Lucha Libre, and possibly with us but when the incident happened involving the L-Crown and the Kings Of Wrestling's King of Kings Unified World Heavyweight Championship...
DH: Everyone thought we would be ostracized but look, Jose! Look at the talent from around the world we have showing up!
[New music, (this music: https://youtu.be/5kHiFYGQC4o ), plays and again the Japanese contingent and Girl Fight fans are FREAKING OUT!]
FR: Also from the FIERCE promotion in Japan.. And from the HORROR stable.. Here is... MOSURA RED!
[The masked wrestler from Japan walks out in her red and black gear and she strikes a "scary" pose before making her way quickly towards the ring.]
JI: Wow! Mosura RED is probably best known to our audience from her time in the Girl Fight promotion and WOW! Look at this team, Diego!
DH: They have the most beautiful masked goddess of the heavens, sea and land..
JI: Oh boy..
DH: They have a former JPWF Women's World Champion, another who was one time part of the world famous Perfect Girl Evolution stable as well as Team Love and who has fought for the pink belt and even the VLPW International championship and... Another Japanese fighter who will make Roy Harper CURSE AND THROW TRASH AROUND HIS ROOM BECAUSE HE IS NOT HERE IN EL CENTRO TO SEE IT IN PERSON!!!
JI: You really need to get over your thing of taunting Roy.
DH: NEVER!
[RED leaps into the ring and strikes another "scary" pose before stretching and preparing for the match ahead.]
DH: One thing is for certain, Jose.. The next team has a mountain to climb against a team with caliber this amazing.
JI: There is no telling who will be in this next team so it is hard to say, Diego.
FR: And now introducing the 2nd team...
[Music, (this music: https://youtu.be/kuIG2vobCRg ), plays over the PA and the crowd.. LEAP TO THEIR FEET!]
FR: From the CLASS OF 2010 stable.. Here are.. HARRIETT MORRISON and.. JUNO TAKAYAMA!
[Juno and Harriett walk out to the entrance stage and pump their fist for the fans who MARK OUT! They make their way to the ring with smiles plus determined looks.]
JI: The Class of 2010 representing in this cibernetico too, tonight!
DH: Jose, that is the most half-hearted hyping I think you have ever done.
[They climb into the ring and motion to the fans before Juno locks eyes with Kosaka and Honda. The CHAOS AD members flash a dark smile at Takayama.]
JI: Juno Takayama and Megumi Kosaka are from Osaka, Japan and along with Honda were part of the Team Love stable so the history between those three potentially make for some interesting match ups.
DH: And do not forget, Jose, that Juno if her blue hair, make up and gear is any evidence still idolizes Suzie Love who Kosaka and Honda have been bitterly feuding with for a few years now.
[New music, (this music: https://youtu.be/B4dVbFhDmvQ ), and fans POP!]
FR: And from the CLASS OF 2011.. Here are... AMANDA IRVINE and... BRITTANY YOUNG!
[HUGE POP as the little sister of the famous Young wrestling clan makes her way out towards the ring with her stablemate Irvine. Brittany gives out high fives on her way to the ring.]
JI: BRITTANY YOUNG IS HERE!
DH: Ah.. Are you OK, Jose?!
JI: She's the beautiful younger sister of Brett and Brian Young who missed nearly two years of action in the Girl Fight promotion due to injury but was always one of the most promising young talents to emerge in some time!
DH: Jose?!
JI: Si?!
DH: You.. You just said she was beautiful!
JI: Huh? Do what now?
DH: ... Are you OK?
JI: Si!
[Brittany and Irvine leap into the ring and motion to the crowd while Morrison seems unimpressed with them while Juno gives them a nod of the head.]
DH: I am going to make a prediction, Jose.
JI: Ok.
DH: The enigmatic masked beauty and her team will wipe out the other team and then have to fight each other until my masked goddess stands alone as the victor!
JI: Nothing biased at all.
DH: Well come on, Jose! You have to admit that one team is way more stacked than the other.
JI: I am not denying that on paper your scenario seems likely.
DH: Gracias.
JI: But you never know when a plucky underdog like Brittany Young could pull off an impossible victory.
DH: QUE?!!
JI: I am just-
DH: Have you gone LOCO, Jose?!
[As Jose and Diego work out their issues, Megumi Kosaka and Amanda Irvine are set to start out against each other and the pink masked referee calls for the bell.]
*DING*
********************************************************** La Reina de El Centro Qualifying Match: [Cibernetico Rules]

vs
Juno Takayama [Class of 2010], Harriett Morrison [Class of 2010], Brittany Young [Class of 2011] & Amanda Irvine [Class of 2011] **********************************************************
[Irvine is VERY excited to be there and circles around Kosaka enthusiastically while Megumi chuckles a bit. They lock up and Kosaka immediately overpowers Amanda and KNOCKS HER ON HER BUTT with a SIFF Forearm smash! Irvine holds her jaw but has no time to recover because the former JPWF Women's World Champion tries to put her boot through her chest before dragging her up to her feet and BLASTING Irvine with a HARD headbutt which sends the Class of 2011 member to the canvas like a sack of bricks!]
[HOLY STIFFNESS POP]
JI: MADRE Y DIOS! Irvine may be KO'D from that headbutt!
DH: I would not be one bit surprised, Jose! THE STIFFNESS! Roy would LOVE this!
[Brittany Young looks very concerned for her stablemate as Kosaka yanks the deadweight of Irvine up and hooks her from behind before..]
*TOSS*
*THUDDADOOM*
[HOLY HEAD DROPPAGE POP]
JI: CARAMBA! What a BACKDROP DRIVER by Kosaka!
DH: I think Irvine is finished already, Jose.
[Kosaka considers covering the surely KO'd Irvine but opts to drag her up to her feet again and hooking her from behind before...]
*TOSS*
*BOOMATHUDADOOMABOOM*
[DEAR GAWD HOLY MOLY RAVIOLI HEAD DROPPAGE OF DOOM POP]

[POP]
FR: AMANDA IRVINE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
[Kosaka winks at Juno before climbing out of the ring. Takayama climbs in as Mosura RED hops in for the other side. Pink Mask and officials roll the KO'd Irvine out of the ring and Brittany hops off the apron to check on her stablemate.]
DH: I state again I feel one team is going to sweep the other.
JI: We shall see, Diego. This next match is interesting though. Both Mosura RED and Juno Takayama were part of the same rookie class in the Girl Fight promotion. These two have some history as well!
[Juno and RED lock up in the middle of the ring and the taller Juno slaps on a side headlock and squeezes her opponent's masked head before going for a go behind. Mosura looks for a way out and fires a backwards elbow to froce a break. RED then spins around and hits a forearm smash across Juno's chest but Takayama replies with a STIFF forearm smash of her own which sends the HORROR member down to a seated position. Kosaka and Honda nod at each other, appreciating the technique in Juno's strike. RED goes to swipe Juno's legs out from under her with a kick but Takayama avoids with a leap before plowing into Mosura with a diving elbow smash!]
[BIG POP]
[Juno drags Mosura to her feet and hits a HARD open handed chop to the chest before going for a scoop bodyslam. RED fires off some shots to struggle free and then kicks at Juno's right knee. Takayama replies with a HARD elbow smash that stuns the HORROR member before...]
*WHAM*
*THUD*
[HOLY STIFFNESS POP]
JI: What a WALLOPING clubbing forearm shot upside the head by Juno!
DH: That was very much like her idol Suzie Love, no?
JI: Si!
[Kosaka and Honda roll their eyes outside the ring at Juno busting out Suzie Love moves. RED is on rubber legs after that blow and Juno motions to the crowd before runnning off the ropes and charges and .. ]
*SMACK*
[HOLY MOLY POP]
JI: WHAT A RUNNING YAKUZA KICK BY TAKAYAMA!
DH: CARAMBA! Her legs are so long and she got such force behind that, Jose!
[Juno picks up the dazed RED and whips her into a corner before charging in with another Yakuza Kick but...]
*DODGE*
*THUD*
[YIKES POP]
JI: Mosura RED moved out of the way and Takayama may have tweaked her leg on the turnbuckles!
DH: We just saw a similar thing happen to Senora Roja in the other cibernetico too!
[Takayama grimaces as she holds her knee and Mosura quickly capitalizes by hitting a dropkick at the knee! Kosaka and Honda laugh as Juno grabs at her knee while Lady Warhawk watches with a stoic masked expression. Harriett yells out encouragements to her stablemate while Brittany Young warms up a bit on the apron. RED goes after the knee with stomps, elbow drops and knee drops before trying to lock on a Figure Four leglock but Juno manages to kick her foe away. RED retaliates with a running double foot stomp on the knee and Juno rolls around in obvious pain.]
JI: Juno Takayama is in a BAD way now with her knee being worked over.
DH: Do not forget, Jose.. I predicted a clean sweep for one team!
[RED tries going for the figure four again but Takayama manages to pull herself to the ropes to prevent the attempt. The HORROR member hops onto Juno and starts raining hard shots down but Juno PUNCHES her full on in her masked face and RED falls right over!]
[HUGE POP]
DH: SHE PUNCHED HER!
JI: Si, she did!
[Juno slaps at her leg as she pulls herself up using the ropes while Mosura RED stumbles up to her feet, reeling from the blow. Takayama rests in a corner until RED charges and Juno moves out of the way. Mosura spins around out of the corner right into...]
*WHAMMMM*
*THUDDD*
[HOLY MOLY STIFFNESS RAVIOLI POP]
JI: WHAT A LARIAT BY JUNO!
DH: She nearly took her masked head off!
[Kosaka and Honda roll their eyes at Juno pulling out Suzie Love moves again while Takayama slaps at her leg and starts feeling the fighting spirit flow through her. Mosura pulls herself up to her feet in a daze and Juno charges..]
*SMACKABOOM*
*THUDD*
[SUPER DUPER WOWZA POP]
JI: JUNO SMASH!
DH: CARAMBA!
[Juno scrambles for the cover on the KO'd Mosura and the pink masked official jumps in position.]
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
[HUGE POP]
FR: MOSURA RED HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
[Takayama pumps her fist as she limps to her corner and climbs out of the ring. As Pink Mask and officials roll the out of it Mosura RED, T-Honda motions towards Lady Warhawk and the Beautiful Master chuckles then nods her head and leaps into the ring while on the other side Harriett Morrison climbs into the ring.]
JI: Well your prediction of a sweep is now busted, Diego.
DH: Doth I worry about my wrongs when the sun, the moon and the stars illuminate this thing called life with the mystery of masked beauty?
JI: Madre y dios!
[Morrison and Warhawk go to lock up but the quicker masked grappler avoids Harriett's grab and hits a series of kicks before sending the Class of 2010 member into a corner with a dropkick. The Beautiful Master charges in and leaps onto Morrison before sending her FLYING with a MONKEY FLIP TOSS!]
[HUGE POP]
[Harriett, now kind of flustered, scrambles to her feet only to get taken off it with an arm drag takedown. Lady Warhawk quickly leaps over the ropes onto the apron before leaping onto the top rope and springing off with a SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK to a seated Morrison before going for the cover!]
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
[POP]
JI: Lady Warhawk is proving to be too quick for Morrison to deal with!
DH: Did you doubt such enigmatic masked beauty, Jose?
[Morrison struggles to her feet while Juno tries to warn her that the Beautiful Master is already on the top turnbuckle but Harriett knows soon enough when her opponent plows into her from the sky with a cross body press!]
[GIANT POP]
JI: Warhawk with a cover..
ONE!
TWO!
TH-No!
DH: I think Harriett used some trick to break the cover of the mysterious masked goddess!
JI: Or she just kicked out, Diego.
DH: We will see how you act when your precious Brittany is in the ring, Jose.
JI: I.. I don't know wh-what you are talking about!
[The Beautiful Master leaps towards the ropes and springs off going for another high flying move but with a warning from Juno, Morrison is able to catch her and then SLAM her down to the canvas!]
[POP]
DH: THE GODDESS!!
[Harriett tries to catch her breath before Warhawk gets to her feet. Morrison charges in and sends the Beautiful Master FLYING into a corner with a HARD shoulder tackle! Harriett runs a hand through her Justin Bieber hair and pumps a fist towards Juno who offers her encouragements. Morrison pulls Warhawk out of the corner and whips her to the ropes and goes to catcher on the rebound but the Beaufiul Master LEAP FROGS over Harriett! When Morrison spins around it is right into ... ]

ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
[GIANT POP]
FR: HARRIETT MORRISON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
[Juno shakes her head in despair for her stablemate while Pink Mask helps Morrison out of the ring. Takayama gives Brittany Young a thumbs up as she climbs into the ring. On the other side Warhawk hops back onto the apron and Honda climbs in and pops her knuckles with a smile.]
DH: It has to be said that Honda has impeccable make up and styling.
JI: She was in Perfect Girl Evolution at one point in time. But more importantly, Diego, we now get to see what Brittany Young has to offer!
DH: Do you not mean the "beautiful" Brittany Young, Jose?
JI: I.. I don't know what you mean.
[Young is eager to lock up with Honda. Tomoko chuckles as she makes B-Rit wait for the lock up as she stretches and loosens up in a mocking fashion. It takes the Young clan member a moment to realize her Japanese opponent is making fun of her warming up on the apron earlier.]
JI: I don't think it is a smart move to mock any member of the Young family.
[Brittany makes a face at Honda and calls her a not nice word.]
[BIG POP]
DH: Such language!
JI: What beautiful fire!
DH: YOU SAID BEAUTIFUL AGAIN!
JI: QUE??
[Honda doesn't like being called what she was called and she rushes at Young who avoids the attack and catches the CHAOS AD member with a hip toss sending her across the ring! Kosaka shakes her head as Honda scrambles to her feet and charges at Young once again. Brittany catches Honda with a drop toe hold, tripping her to the canvas before going for a ROLL UP but Honda quickly scrambles out and rolls to the ropes and glares at Young.]
[BIG POP]
JI: Brittany Young is SHAKING UP THE WRESTLING WORLD RIGHT NOW!
DH: What the...?
JI: Look at her hanging in there against one of the best women's wrestlers on the planet!
DH: Calm down, Jose.
[Brittany motions for Honda to bring it and Tomoko wants to blow up but she doesn't, she closes her eyes and she takes a deep breath before getting to her feet and shooting a more focused look at her opponent. Both women circle each other before locking up and Honda immediately SLAMS a hard forearm against Brittany before DROPPING her with a STIFF elbow smash!]
[DANG STIFFNESS POP]
JI: OH! She may have hurt Brittany's face with that strike!
DH: And why are you worried about her face, Jose?
JI: Because it is so.. I mean.. I just worry for the general health of all competitors in Viva Lucha.
DH: Sure.
[Brittany scrambles to her feet while holding her face but Honda is all over her with kicks to the legs and midsection! Young tries to block the strikes but hard ones get through and she staggers into the ropes before charging out with a DROPKICK.. but Honda side steps out of the way and ... ]
*WHAMM*
[OH DEEYAMNNN POP]
JI: BRITTANY!!
DH: That was a kick to the head, Jose!

JI: Honda hit a BACKDROP DRIVER on beautiful Brittany!
DH: AHH! YOU SAID IT AGAIN, JOSE!
JI: AIEEEEEEEEEEE!
[Brittany grabs her neck as she goes into almost a fetal position and a smile returns to the face of T-Honda. Tomoko mockingly motions for Young to "bring it" before dragging the Class of 2011 member to her feet and hooks her by her waist and...]
*TOSS*
*THUD*
[SUPLEX POP]
DH: Honda sure knows how to get impact on her Gutwrench Suplexes, right Jose?
JI: I.. Ah...
DH: While you are speechless let me give a shout out to one Roy Harper because.. HE WOULD REALLY LOVE THAT SUPLEX!
[Honda chuckles as she pulls Young to her feet and whips her to the ropes. Tomoko prepares to go for her signature.. DOUBLE HANDED MONGOLIAN CHOPS...]
*DODGE*
[HUGE POP]
JI: BRITTANY! SHE DID A CARTWHEEL TO AVOID HONDA'S MONGOLIAN CHOPS!
DH: WOW!
[Tomoko is legit caught off guard by Brittany dodging her attack and is then caught more off guard when B-Rit PLOWS INTO HER WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK!]
[GIANT POP]
JI: YES! YOU CAN DO IT BRITTANY!
DH: I do not know what to think about this change in you, Jose.
[Honda bristles as she scrambles to her feet while Young sprints off the ropes, charging at her opponent with a clothesline... But Honda ducks and Brittany spins around right into..]
*SMACKABOOM*
*THUDDD*
[SWEET LORD HAVE MERCY STIFFNESS POP]
JI: AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
DH: WHAT A DOUBLE MONGOLIAN CHOP BY HONDA! Oh, Jose! Lo siento! She knocked your girl FLAT! I think Young had the air knocked out of her!
JI: She.. She is not my girl, Diego! I.. I do not know why you would say such.. Such things!
DH: HA!
[Brittany is indeed coughing and gasping from the unbelievably stiff mongolian chops but she tries to scramble to her feet only to find herself hooked from the front by her opponent who...]

DH: I am trying to rub it in the face of Roy Harper by using his ridiculous suplex reactions.
[Honda covers the KO'd Young and the official makes the count.]
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
FR: BRITTANY YOUNG HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
[Juno sighs as Pink Mask rolls Young out of the ring and Honda and Kosaka flash HUGE smiles at their former Team Love stablemate.]
DH: Jose, I know you are at a loss for words because of what just happened...
JI: *sighs*
DH: But... Juno Takayama is now ONE against THREE! So... I WAS PRETTY MUCH RIGHT AFTERALL!
[Takayama climbs in with a look of determination and fight in her eyes. Kosaka and Lady Warhawk both look willing to step inside the ring but Honda shakes her head and motions that she wants to take on Juno.]
[BIG POP]
JI: Juno Takayama has seen all of her team mates fall and now she is alone against three of the best fighters in the world!
DH: I pretty much set that up already, Jose.
JI: Oh.
DH: While you were digesting your Brittany downer.
JI: *sighs*
[Juno and Honda begin circling each other and then go to lock up but Honda fakes and kicks at Takayama's right knee! Juno tries to move away but Honda follows after her with more kicks towards the right leg. Takayama is backed up against the ropes and Honda tries to pull her off the ropes but Juno...]
*SMACKABOOM*
[WOWZA POP]
JI: What a STIFF forearm smash by Juno!
DH: Honda was staggered!
[Tomoko holds her face and glares at Takayama who puts on a fairly aggressive face herself. Both ladies go to lock up but once again Honda fakes out to kick at Juno's leg. Juno grits her teeth and BLASTS Honda with another forearm smash! Honda fires back with a HARD elbow smash and then both ladies begin trading forearms and elbows back and forth!]
[HUGE STRIKE EXCHANGE POP]
JI: These two ladies are BLASTING each other with hard shots!
DH: They do know they have to fight TESLA ST. JAMES if they make it out of this cibernetico match, right? You would think everyone would save some for the chance they make the finals!
JI: But you have to make the finals to fight in it.
DH: Verdad.
[Juno follows a HARD open handed chop to the chest with a knee to the midsection, doubling Honda over... and sending Takayama stumbling away holding her knee.]
DH: Not smart.
[Tomoko straightens up only to get scooped up by the taller Honda and slammed down hard. Juno reaches down to grab her opponent only for Honda to kick her right knee, sending the Class of 2010-er stumbling into the ropes! Tomoko gets to her feet and charges in with a knee strike to Juno's right leg, sending Takayama collapsing to the canvas! Honda drags Juno away from the ropes and goes to work on the knee with elbow drops, leg drops, knee drops and even a double knee drop! Takayama rolls around in pain!]
JI: Takayama is finding herself in an even deeper hole in this match!
DH: Soon she will be out of this match and the goddess of mysterious masked beauty will be poised to win this all!
JI: But once Juno is gone then it is basically two CHAOS AD members against one Beautiful Master?
DH: I have faith in the undeniable spirit of masked beauty!
[Honda drags a limping Takayama to her feet and hits several clubbing forearms to the back of the neck before going for a Double Underhook and trying for a suplex... But Juno blocks it and...]
*STAND*
*THUD*
[BIG POP]
JI: Back bodydrop counter!
DH: It will not matter, Jose. Look!
[Juno's knee buckles under her and she drops to one knee while grimacing. Honda scrambles to her feet and BLASTS Juno from behind with a hard elbow smash to the head! Once Juno is down, Honda stomps at her foe's right knee before dragging her to a corner and rolling out under the ropes. She holds Juno's leg away from the ring post while the pink masked official puts a count on her and..]
*SMACK*
[BIG BOOS]
JI: Honda just slammed Takayama's knee over the ringpost!
DH: She is grounding her out of this match and this tournament, Jose.
[Juno cries as she pulls herself away from the corner while holding her knee. Honda climbs back inside the ring to hear an earful from the referee but she ignores the pink masked official completely and goes after Juno's knee with more stomps and kicks. Takayama tries to roll away to the ropes but Honda pulls her away and then drags Juno up, hooks her by her knee and lifts her up...]
*CRUNCH*
[OH DANG POP]
JI: KNEEBREAKER by Honda! Takayama has to be in unbearable amount of pain now!
DH: I would not be surprised if she were to quit right now.
[Takayama cries as she rolls around holding her knee. Honda chuckles and mocks Juno's crying.]

Juno limps over, while wincing from the pain, towards her opponent and goes to grab her but Tomoko springs into life and kicks her right in her injured knee! Juno staggers as she clutches at her knee and Honda gets to her feet and..]

DH: I hope she does not hit the enigmatic mystery of lovliness like that!
[Honda holds her head but shakes it off and glares down at Juno before pulling the Class of 2010-er up to her feet. Honda struggles to scoop Juno up, Juno being 6 inches taller, before putting her onto her shoulders and starts charging to the middle of the ring for her RUNNING POWERSLAM... But Juno struggles free, lands on left foot and uses all the force she can muster to push Honda chest first into a corner and the turnbuckles!]
[HUGE POP]
DH: How does she keep fighting back?!
[Honda staggers out of the corner backwards and Juno hooks her from behind, grits her teeth before crying out and...]

[Juno grabs the ropes and cries out as she pulls herself up to her feet. Honda begins to stir but is clearly out of it! She tries to get to her knees but slumps back down.

[Kosaka shakes her head at having thrown paper only to get scissored but then nods her head and the Beautiful Master leaps into the ring.]
DH: SI!
[The Beautiful Master stretches for a moment while Juno grimaces and grits her teeth as she pulls herself up to her feet with the ropes. Takayama limps towards the Elements member and goes to lock up but Warhawk, with her superior speed, shoots for Juno's right knee and trips her to the canvas! Warhawk goes for a hold on Juno's leg but the Class of 2010-er scrambles for the ropes to break the attempt and the Beautiful Master gives a clean break.]
[SPORTSMANSHIP POP]
JI: Juno Takayama has a giant target on her injured right knee.
DH: And the comet of enigmatic masked wonders will streak across the skies and burn it for victory!
[Juno uses the ropes to get to her feet and goes to lock up with her opponent but Lady Warhawk this time leaps in with a dropkick right at the knee, sending Takayama to the canvas holding her knee! Warhawk scrambles and grabs Juno's legs and LEAPS OVER WITH A JACK KNIFE ROLL UP!]

Takayama rolls around while holding her knee and the Parts Unknown native hops onto the turnbuckles and ascends to the top while watching Juno struggle. Then...]

[Juno cries out as she rolls towards the ropes while clutching her knee but her opponent grabs her and drags her from the ropes before leaping up and hitting a standing elbow drop on her opponent's injured knee. Warhawk then attempts to grapevine Juno's leg but the Osakan scrambles for the ropes and gets them, leading to another clean break.]
[SPORTSMAN POP]
DH: What are you doing winged angel of masked perfection?! YOU MUST RUTHLESSLY DESTROY HER!
JI: I do not think that is how the Beautiful Master operates, Diego.
DH: But... VICTORY! GLORY!
[Juno pulls herself up with the ropes and limps towards her opponent but is quickly taken down when Lady Warhawk shoots for the leg and trips her opponent to the canvas. The Elements member tries to put Juno's leg over her shoulders to go for a submission but Takayama struggles violently free and settles for hopping to her feet and BLASTING the knee with a low dropkick! While Takayama writhes in pain, clutching at her knee, Kosaka watches Lady Warhawk intently, studying her, as she climbs up the turnbuckles.]

JI: Kosaka seems to be studying Lady Warhawk closely here.
DH: It is only a matter of time before it comes down to Kosaka and the Beautiful Master, Jose. Plus who can resist watching this flame that draws us lowly moths into the irresistible fire?

[The Beautiful Master was caught totally off guard by that and is understandably a bit out of it while Juno is down as well, clutching at her knee and grimacing from the pain. Kosaka sighs with disapproval as she watches her former Team Love stablemate struggle for the ropes.]
JI: Juno Takayama is showing us a level of fighting spirit to match her idol, Suzie Love!
DH: Oh she will quit soon enough, Jose! The Beautiful Master will not fall to any opponent!
[Juno uses the ropes to get to her feet while Lady Warhawk stumbles to hers. Takayama grits her teeth, slaps her leg and then tries to do a limp charge at her opponent but the Elements member is much too quick for that to ever work and dodges and then LEAPS up onto Juno's shoulders and HITS A HURRICANRANA ROLL UP... Which Juno rolls over with and maneuvers into...]

JI: This is-
DH: TERRIBLE! AWFUL! THE WORST MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE OF ALL TIME!
JI: Diego..
DH: HOW CAN LIFE BE THIS CRUEL AND UNJUST? POR QUE?!!
[Kosaka watches as Lady Warhawk leaves the ring and Juno pulls herself up to her feet before climbing inside the ring and giving a dark look towards her former Team Love stablemate.]
JI: And now it is down to these two. Both from Osaka, Japan. Both grew up idolizing Suzie Love. Both trained by Suzie Love and Lotus Flower.
DH: Only one of them is a CRIMINAL, Jose!
JI: Criminal?!
DH: Si! Juno is a breaker of hearts!
JI: Calmate, Diego.
[As the two move towards each other, Kosaka begins talking in Japanese. Juno answers her back in Japanese and the two start getting more aggressive towards each other.]

DH: I would not do a headbutt on Juno, she is so HARD HEADED and STUBBORN that she does not lose when she is supposed to that her head must be like the thickest rock on the planet!
JI: Diego are you going to be personally campaigning against Juno from now on?
DH: MAYBE!
[Megumi and Juno BOTH felt those headbutts, but Kosaka is game enough to kick at her opponent's knee to send her down.]
[BOOS]
DH: YES! Kick that knee again!
JI: Oh boy.
[Juno tries to scramble to her feet but can't because of how bad a shape her knee is in and goes to covering up as Kosaka hops ontop of her and begins raining hard blows down on her former stablemate. The former JPWF Women's World Champion moves to Juno's right knee and just PUNCHES it repeatedly as Juno CRIES OUT loudly in pain!]
[HUGE BOOS]
JI: This crowd is not happy with this!
DH: They should be though! We all should hope for the destruction of Juno!
[Kosaka tries to lock a hold onto Juno's leg but the Class of 2010-er flails and struggles free and goes for the ropes. Megumi angrily pulls her up before headbutting Juno IN THE CHEST which staggers the Osakan into the ropes. Megumi grabs Juno's right leg and pulls her away from the ropes, Takayama hopping on the one foot, and brings a forearm smash down across the knee which almost causes Juno to fall but Kosaka keeps her up on her feet so she can hook her and try for a VERTICAL SUPLEX.. but Juno struggles free and lands behind her.. Then falls down cos her knee buckles!]
DH: HA HA!
JI: Diego, come on now.
DH: ONLY PAIN AND TORTURE FOR THE CRIMES SHE HAS DONE!

THUD!
CRACK!
TWAP!
THUD!
THUD!
CRACK!
CRAAAASSHHH!!
OOF!
OUCH ... LADIES WAIT?
THUD!
SMACK!
[The door opens and Masked Maniac is tossed out with force as he crashes into the wall across from the door. The Maniac is slumped over as the camera zooms in on the poor Masked Superstar.]
MM: I.... I don't know what happened?
[The camera catches the usually confident Masked superstar unsure of himself as we cut to a shot of Celia's Restaurant in El Centro, California. Soon we are inside and we see a pretty SHOCKING sight before our eyes! Emanuel Gonzalo Carranza, el jefe of Viva Lucha, eating dinner with Meiko Yamazaki, the former JPWF Women's World Champion! He, as we know already, is dressed in a suit with a green tie and she is dressed in an orange dress with a brown sweater over it. Carranza has a big smile on his face and perhaps a surprised one at that as he listens to Meiko tell a story with a smile. We get closer as Carranza's eyes grow wide with a big smile.]
EGC: Really?!
[Yamazaki giggles as she nods her head.]
MY: Yes! I swear that it happened.
[Carranza takes a sip from a Modelo Negra and shakes his head.]
EGC: I can not imagine all of the things you must have seen traveling around the world as much as you have in your life. Your father and his work moving the family back and forth from Japan and the US. Then the fight career...
[Meiko shrugs with a smile as she looks at the table.]
MY: It is hard to stay still I guess when you travel so much.
[Carranza thinks about it for a moment and then nods his head.]
EGC: I did not travel much when I was a child.
MY: Oh?
EGC: No. Until I was put in charge of the family business there was not much traveling. My father...
[Carranza winces and then flashes a forced smile.]
EGC: He did alot of traveling but not with our family.
MY: He must have been very lonely.
[Emanuel winces again and sighs before flashing another forced smile.]
EGC: Well, I am not sure he was very lonely but.. we were not with him in any event.
MY: Oh..
[There is an awkward silent moment until Carranza looks down at the plates in front of them.]
EGC: What do you think of the machaca?
[Meiko smiles politely.]
MY: It is delicious!
[Carranza smiles.]
EGC: I apologize I could not organize a better meeting place on such short notice. El Centro is not the best town for eating out.
MY: It is fine! I am surprised you were willing to see me at all.
[Carranza studies Meiko's face for a moment as she moves some food around her plate with a fork and he smiles warmly.]
EGC: I wanted to hear what you had to say.
[Meiko looks up and studies EGC's face.]
MY: You were not worried that I might have grievances to air? That I might throw a drink in your face?
EGC: I took a gamble based on your polite nature that you would not do such a thing.
[The two of them look at each other for a few moments before Meiko grabs her glass of water and picks it up. Tense moments pass as Carranza watches her hand holding the drink while she watches him squirm a bit. Then slowly a smile grows on her face and she takes a drink of her water and Carranza starts to laugh nervously.]
EGC: Heh. That was a good one. Heh.
[Meiko smiles more confidently than before as she sets her water down and then she nods her head.]
MY: One time back in the Team Love days, we were eating at a diner in Salem, Oregon. Suzie Love was giving us a pep talk about eating heartily and advice on dating.
[Carranza is taken aback with a big smile.]
EGC: What?! Advice on dating?!
[Yamazaki nods laughing.]
MY: And all of us.. Megumi-chan, Tomoko-chan, Juno-chan.. We are asking all these questions about dating to Suzie and Lotus-san and then...
[Meiko does a motion with her hands to indicate something being thrown. Carranza does a small gasp, captivated by the story.]
MY: Katsura Koji enters the diner and grabs a drink and throws it in Suzie's face!
EGC: WHAT?!
[Yamazaki nods her head while giggling. Carranza smiles while relaxing in his chair.]
EGC: Lucky for me you fell in with Suzie Love and not Katsura Koji.
[Emanuel drinks his cerveza and Meiko studies him for a moment before leaning forward.]
MY: I am not going to throw a drink in your face and I am not here to air grievances about what has happened. But I do want another chance to fight the Goblin Queen and win back the pink belt in your arena.
[Carranza slowly puts his Modelo Negra on the table and shakes his head, annoyed.]
EGC: I can not help you there, Meiko.
MY: Do you think the fans would not want to see this match?
[Emanuel makes a face.]
EGC: Of course they would but..
MY: Do I as the former champion not have a right to a rematch?
EGC: Well technically.. Yes but..
MY: Then why not?
[Carranza is nervous as he shakes his head.]
EGC: Because I said publicly if you lost the pink belt you could not fight in my arena again!
[Meiko makes a flabbergasted expression.]
MY: So what? You have never gone back on your word before?!
[Carranza looks at her with pleading eyes.]
EGC: Maybe to family, friends... My other business ventures but in this sport.. When it comes to my arena... When I say something I mean.. I have to stand by it.
[Yamazaki shows hurt in her eyes.]
MY: So you meant it? You never wanted to see me fight in your arena again?
[Carranza looks unlike we have ever seen him before. Confused, panicking and unsure.]
EGC: It.. It was not personal! It was just... B-business!
[Meiko leans forward and looks him directly in his eyes.]
MY: If you never wanted to see me again why did you agree to meet me?!
EGC: It was nothing against you! It was..
[Yamazaki sits back staring at the table with a hurt expression and slightly wet eyes. Carranza looks down at the table with a look of remorse.]
EGC: It was just business.
[Meiko reaches down and grabs her purse and stands up abruptly.]
MY: Thank you for the dinner and for your time.
[Carranza looks a little bit horrified.]
EGC: Meiko! Just.. Don't leave yet we...
[Yamazaki gives him an icy look.]
MY: Good night, Mr. Carranza.
[Meiko quickly walks away and EGC stares at the table for a moment with a look of shock and guilt.]
EGC: Good night.
[He picks up his fork then places it back down and sighs sadly before we fade to darkness.]
...
[Slowly, the black fades up to a dark hallway. The camera moves forward, shadows flickering in the room beyond. The view moves around the corner to see Gloria Butler taking a punching bag to task in slow motion. She speaks in voice over.]
GB: The future is but sand...
[The camera pushes forward into a close-up, sweat pouring profusely from Gloria's brow. Her hair, though pulled into a ponytail, flies violently.]
GB: ...miniscule grains of possibilities...
[The scene shifts to the ring. Gloria is dressed similarly, but this time, she is sparring with fellow Elements member Tesla St. James. Tesla is yelling, pushing Gloria to work harder.]
GB: ...what can be, not what should nor necessarily will.
[The scene shifts again, this time to the lockerroom. Gloria sits on a bench, eyes straight ahead and locked on a single image.]
GB: There is no shape to it, only fluidity.
[That image is a poster of The Goblin Queen.]
GB: Form, foundation, purpose come in the fires of a crucible.
[We flash back to footage from Bastard Stampede where Gloria Butler and the Goblin Queen did battle.]
GB: The sand becomes glass but clarity is no guarantee.
[The battle is violent, even when viewed in slow motion.]
GB: Skill, influence, passion all feed to the end result.
[Ultimately, Gloria Butler overcomes, winning the Bastard Stampede Women's Championship.]
GB: The present is but glass to reflect and discern...
[Another match, Gloria versus the Queen, this time with Women's Title going back to the former champion.]
GB: ...images to be taken forward.
[We return to the locker room, Gloria still staring at the poster. She stands, eyes remaining focused.]
GB: All else burns away.
[She turns back towards the practice ring, to train once again.]
GB: The past is but ash.
[Fade to a darkened room...somewhere. Sitting on a chair is the insidous Gordon J. Dutt and behind him stands his charge, the JPWF Champion and living embodiment of destruction the Goblin Queen. Her Majesty holds the belt's strap with an iron grip, dirty nails digging into the pink leather. Wearing a white linen suit, a green bow tie and an oily smile, Dutt just nods at the camera.]
GJD: Dear, dear Gloria. Did you think we had forgotten? Did you think we had FORGIVEN?
[He shakes his head slowly. A soft "tsk" escapes him as if admonishing a small child. The Queen's jaw clenches, growling.]
GJD: See, Gloria, you experienced a miracle! Back in Bastard Stampede, you faced the Goblin Queen and _lived_! Mercifully, you could have lived out your days in mundane banality and served as a warning to others. That the price for facing the Queen is far too high!
[Sneering, Dutt steeples his fingers and taps them together.]
GJD: Instead...oho! Instead, you've somehow got it set in your pretty little bubblehead that now you are an equal -- nay SUPERIOR! -- to Her Majesty! [Another condescending cluck of the tongue from Gordon while Her Majesty bares her teeth in a savage snarl.] Child, have you learned NOTHING?! That life is precious and you should NEVER waste such a gift!
[Dutt sighs and looks up at the ceiling melodramatically.]
GJD: Dear sweet Gloria, you have SQUANDERED this kindness from the Queen and thus, you MUST be punished! You are no longer in the petty fiefdom of Bastard Stampede and the Goblin Queen is no longer a mere mortal. No...She has only grown in her power and her rage and your battered and bleeding flesh will now serve as a reminder to ALL here who dare challenge Her Righteous Reign as JPWF Champion!
[The Goblin Queen ROARS in brutal triumph as she raises her belt high overhead. Dutt chuckles in sick anticipation.]
GJD: It could have been so much easier, sweetness. But really, you only have yourself to blame now...
[We fade back to inside the VL Arena and Jose & Diego, who have some bottles of Cherry Cola very prominently featured in front of them.]
JI: Up next it is time for the big JPWF Women's World Championship match brought to you by...
[Jose and Diego flash HUGE smiles at the same time.]
Together: CHERRY COLA!
DH: Nothing beats the refreshing flavor of Cherry Cola!
JI: It's simply the best!
[They smile, kind of creepily, before we cut to Fernando in the ring.]
FR: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for... THE JPWF WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
[MASSIVE POP]
["The War I Survived" by Hawkwind plays and fans MARK OUT LIKE SUPER NUTS!]
FR: Introducing first, the challenger! From Chicago, Illinois.. She is a member of the ELEMENTS stable... GLORIA BUTLER!
[Butler walks out towards the ring with a determined look in her eyes as the fans.. SUPER DUPER GIANT SIZED POP!]
JI: Gloria Butler has done something that very few competitors have ever done in professional wrestling.. Defeat the Goblin Queen! She beat her once a few years ago for the Bastard Stampede Women's Championship. Tonight, can she repeat history and defeat the Goblin Queen again?
DH: But, Jose, you are not giving all of the story! Butler LOST that belt back to the Goblin Queen.
JI: Yes, tonight will be the rubber match between them.
[Gloria enters the ring and pumps her fist and the crowd MARKS OUT.]
FR: And her opponent...
["Maladise" by Nunchaku play and out onto the entrance ramp, dragging the JPWF Women's World Championship belt against the ground, is the Goblin Queen with her manager, Gordon Jr. Dutt, just steps behind. The queen of DESTRUCTION looks at the crowd and then ROARS before pounding her chest and continuing on her way to the ring.]
[HUGE BELT DISRESPECT BOOS]
FR: From Hiroshima, Japan.. And led to the ring by Mr. GORDON JT. DUTT! Here is the JPWF WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPION... THE GOBLIN QUEEN!
[LOUD BOOS]
JI: While this crowd is unhappy with how the Goblin Queen is dragging the famous pink belt along the ground as she makes her way to the ring, no one can deny the danger of this woman!
DH: Meiko Yamazaki is the same height and size of the Goblin Queen and she was manhandled like a doll, Jose. No doubt this is the most dangerous woman in professional wrestling!
[Goblin Queen climbs into the ring and immediately throws the pink belt to the side as she marches right up to Butler and jabs her forehead against Gloria's!]
[OH DANG IT'S GONNA KICK OFF POP]
JI: The Goblin Queen wants to get started right now!
DH: Fernando best get out of there.
[Indeed, the ring announcer is high tailing it out of the ring. The pink masked referee, very busy tonight, tries to separate the two women but as words are exchanged the fists come up and the official calls for the bell instead.]
*DING*
********************************************************** JPWF Women's World Title Match:
Tecnica: Gloria Butler
vs
Ruda: (c)The Goblin Queen w/ Gordon J. Dutt ********************************************************** [GIANT POP]
[Both women proceed to PUNCH EACH OTHER REPEATEDLY at the same time, fists flying in a flurry! Dutt is even taken aback at how fast this match has kicked off and hurries to pick up the JPWF Women's World Championship, tossed aside like garbage just moments ago. Both ladies start exchanging back and forth hard chops to the chest until they SLAM their heads against each other and growl in each other's faces!]
[HOLY INTENSITY POP]
JI: This match as escalated VERY quickly!
DH: They must really want to settle the rubber match!
[Gloria slaps her arms around the Goblin Queen's body and lifts her up with a BIG bearhug!]
[WOWZA POWER DISPLAY POP]
*SMACKABOOM*
[HOT DANG BRUTAL POP]
JI: Butler went for that bearhug but Goblin Queen cut it short with that SICK headbutt!
DH: Oh! Check it out, Jose!
[With Butler stunned, Goblin Queen wraps her arms around her foe and lifts her up in the air!]
[ANOTHER BEAR HUG WOWZA POP]
JI: Goblin Queen has a bearhug on Butler now!
*SMACKASLAP*
[DAMN THAT SMARTS POP]
JI: BUTLER just slammed both of her forearms on either side of the Queen's head to break that bearhug!
DH: Caramba!
[Both women reel a bit before the Goblin Queen snarls at Butler and rushes forward! Butler doesn't back down, rushing forward herself and both ladies...]
*DOUBLESMACKAPOWABAMASLAMASMACK*
[STRONG WOMEN BEATING THE STUFFING OUT OF EACH OTHER MONSTER POP]
JI: DOUBLE CLOTHESLINES!
[Both women stagger into the ropes and glare at one another as the crowd... MARKS OUT LIKE LITTLE KIDS!]
DH: I have to say, Jose, this is a brilliant move by the Goblin Queen.
JI: Que? Starting the match off into a war of bomb throwing is a tactical move?!
DH: Si, Jose!
[Dutt, outside the ring, takes a moment to check out the pink masked referee's backside and licks his lips a bit while the Goblin Queen rushes off the ropes and pounds her chest and yells at Butler to bring it on. Gloria obliges and rushes forward and right into a knee to the midsection from her majesty! Goblin Queen grabs Gloria by her hair before straightening her up and...]
*SMACKATHUD*
[OUCH POP]
JI: What a HARD headbutt right into the left side of Butler's chest!
DH: Now ask yourself something, Jose... Does Butler always fight this emotionally?
[Butler holds her chest as she stumbles down to one knee. The Goblin Queen proceeds to try and put her foot through the left side of Gloria's chest with a stomp sending her down before leaping up for an elbow drop but...]
*ROLL*
*THUD*
[HUGE POP]
JI: Gloria moved out of the way! And.. Usually Butler tends to fight at a more methodical pace than the bomb throwing we have seen in this match so far.
[As Goblin Queen tries to scramble to her feet she's met with a knee to the midsection, doubling her over and Gloria hooks the head and goes for a VERTICAL SUPLEX.. bUT her royal highness of destruction blocks the attempt and counters with a SUPLEX ATTEMPT OF HER OWN... But Butler struggles free as she is in the air and lands behind the JPWF women's World Champion! The champ spins around and Butler SCOOPS HER UP in her arms!]
[GIGANTIC SUPER DUPER POWER SPOT POP]
*CHARGE*
*THUDDDDABOOOM*
[SHAKE THE RAFTERS POP]
JI: WHAT A POWERSLAM BY BUTLER! THE DISPLAY OF POWER!
DH: Dig this, Jose. Goblin Queen baits Butler into a battle of throwing bombs as you say.
JI: Si.
[Dutt stops oggling Pink Mask as he yells out some words to his charge who is rolling up to her feet while gritting her teeth. Butler, fired up, comes after the champion only to eat a STIFF forearm to the left side of her chest! Butler staggers back but not far enough away as the Goblin Queen hooks her and...]
*TOSS*
*THUDABOOMASLAMADOOMATHUDD*
[HOLY MOLY SUPER BRUTAL POP]
JI: URANAGE by the Goblin Queen! She PLANTED Butler hard!
[Dutt calls for the Queen to cover but she would rather put her foot on Butler's chest, the left side again, and press down with her weight which draws the pink masked official to get on her case.]
DH: She has drawn Butler into this bomb throwing pace because she has the bigger bombs to throw, Jose!
JI: That.. makes sense!
DH: Well, I am a Hernandez, Jose. Also if she allows Butler to set the pace and tone then Butler will just try to methodically sap her strength over a longer period of time.
[The Goblin Queen GROWLS at Pink Mask who jumps back but cautions the champ all the same. Her majesty of mayhem yells down at Butler, telling her to bring the fight, and roughly pulls her challenger up to her feet. Gloria replies with a HARD forearm that rocks the Goblin Queen!]
[BIG POP]
[Butler charges and Goblin Queen swipes at her with a clothesline but Gloria ducks and hooks the Queen's head from behind and then leaps up and forces both of them down into..]
*SLAMATHUD*
[WOAH HUGE GIANT POP]
JI: INVERTED DDT by Butler!
DH: CARAMBA!
[Gloria goes for the cover but before the referee can get in position she is thrown off by the champion! Goblin Queen gets to her knees and hits her chest and motions for the challenger to come at her! Gloria, increasingly getting lost in the war lust, charges in with a HARD boot to the face! Her royal highness of bad intentions rises to her feet while holding her face and then roars as she lunges for Butler, grabbing her by her hair and dragging her to a corner and SLAMMING Butler face first into the turnbuckles!]
[OUCH POP]
[Goblin Queen hooks Gloria's arms from behind and..]
*TOSS*
*THUDADOOM*
[HEAD DROPPAGE SUPER POP]
JI: Tiger Suplex by Goblin Queen!
DH: TIGER-AHHHHHH SUPLEX-AHHHHHHHHHH! ROY HARPER SUCKITAHHHHHHHH!
[Dutt gets REALLY excited as the pink masked referee goes to leap into position to count the fall as the Queen has the bridge on but the official's position is one where she is facing Dutt and not facing away and Gordon is not happy with that view.]
ONE!
TWO!!
[BIG POP]
JI: Gloria kicked out!
[Goblin Queen doesn't look displeased actually that Butler survived, apparently so she can wrap her hands around Butler's throat and choke her!]
[HUGE BOOS]
JI: She's choking her!
DH: You have to smother the fighting spirit some way, Jose.
[The pink masked official is all over Goblin Queen's case and her majesty releases the choke and jumps into the grill of the official! Make no mistake about it, Pink Mask IS scared of the Queen of Pain, but she warns the champ all the same about the choking. Butler gets to her feet while rubbing her throat but gets a HARD elbow to the left side of her chest, pushing her against the ropes. Goblin Queen pulls the challenger from the ropes and tries to put standing headscissors on her but Butler blocks the attempt at whatever the Queen is going for and then grabs a hold of her majesty's legs and STANDS UP WITH HER OVER HER SHOULDERS!]
[HOLY MOLY WOWZA DISPLAY OF STRENGTH POP]
JI: LOOK AT THE POWER BEING SHOWN BY GLORIA BUTLER!
DH: AMAZING!
[Goblin Queen angrily tries to throw shots at Butler as she's being held upside down and behind the challenger but Gloria ignores it and with another massive display of strength...]
*SLAMABOOMADOOMATHUDDD*
[LEAP OUT OF THEIR SEATS HOLY MOLY SUPER STRONG WOMAN POP]
DH: CARAMBA!
JI: ALABAMA SLAM BY BUTLER!!
DH: Maybe this bomb throwing thing was not the best plan, Jose! Gloria can really throw some bombs!
[Dutt is TORN because Gloria is going for the cover on his client but he is also watching to see what position Pink Mask gets into to make the count.. But to his dismay it is not what he is hoping for and he is again not happy with this at all!]
ONE!
TWO!!
[WOAH POP]
JI: Goblin Queen kicks out!
DH: Wow!
[Gordon is relieved his charge kicked out but also annoyed that the pink masked referee has not given him the view he has wanted. Butler tries to catch her breath but gets a SLAP to the face from the Goblin Queen as the champ gets to her knees. Gloria ain't having that and slams a forearm against the champ before dragging her up and whipping her to the ropes.. Only for Goblin Queen to reverse the whip RIGHT INTO A SHORT ARM LARIAT!]
[DANG POP]
JI: There has been so much back and forth in such a short amount of time already!
DH: Strategy, Jose. Strategy!
[Goblin Queen snarls as she grabs Butler and drags her through the ropes and onto the ring apron. She wraps her hand around Gloria's throat and lifts her up before...]
*SLAMASMACKATHUDABOOM*
[HOLY MOLY SHE'S DEAD DEAR GOD POP]
JI: MADRE Y DIOS! Goblin Queen hit Gloria with a CHOKESLAM off the apron to the floor outside!
DH: CARAMBA!
Crowd: HOLY MEEP! HOLY MEEP! HOLY MEEP! HOLY MEEP!
[The Pink Masked referee holds her head a bit in horror at what she just saw while Dutt motions towards his charge with a big smile as the Goblin Queen gets to her feet, slaps her chest and ROARS! Butler writhes in pain and then cries out as her majesty gives her a HARD STOMP to the left side of her chest.]
JI: The Goblin Queen has focused a lot of attention in this match to Butler's chest.
DH: Get Brittany out of your thoughts, Jose.
JI: Wh-what? I did not say anything about that beautiful young woma-
DH: YOU SAID IT AGAIN!
JI: EEE!
[Goblin Queen pulls the aching Butler up to her feet and with a growl whips her towards the steps but...]
*FWOOSH*
*CLANGASLAMASMACKACLANG*
[OH MY GOD SUPER DUPER GIANT POP]
JI: Butler REVERSED and sent Goblin Queen into the steel steps!
[As the predominantly female fans in attendance MARK OUT, Dutt covers his face with his hands at this turn of events. The Pink masked official calls for the match to come back inside the ring but Gloria has other thoughts as she rubs her chest and back and then GLARES at the Goblin Queen and pulls her up and...]
*SCOOP*
[GIANT HOLY MOLY THIS LADY IS WONDER WOMAN POP]
JI: Gloria has the Goblin Queen on her shoulders!
DH: Oh boy!
*CHARGES*
*LEAP*
*BOOMASMACKATHUDADOOMADOOMABOOMATHUDDD*
[HOLY MOLY RAVIOLI SHAKE THE RAFTERS OMEGA SUPREME POP]
Crowd: HOLY MEEP! HOLY MEEP! HOLY MEEP! HOLY MEEP!
JI: RUNNING POWERSLAM ON THE FLOOR!
DH: CARAMBA!
Crowd: HOLY MEEP! HOLY MEEP! HOLY MEEP! HOLY MEEP!
[Gordon J. Dutt is beside himself now, freaking out over what he just witnessed. Gloria rolls under the ropes and into the ring and pumps her fist to a HUGE POP! Pink Mask assesses the situation and starts a count on the champ!]
JI: The referee has started a count but this will not do Butler much good.
DH: If Goblin Queen is counted out she does not get the championship, Jose.
JI: My point exactly.
[Butler is aware of this and doesn't need a lot of prompting when the Goblin Queen gets to her knees outside, grimaces then glares at Gloria in the ring and motions for her to bring it on.]
[BIG LADIES GOTTA FIGHT POP]
[Gloria rolls out of the ring and boots her majesty in the face before dragging her up and rolling her back inside the ring. Butler follows in after her and waits for Goblin Queen to pull herself up before charging at her... ONLY TO GET CAUGHT!]
*CATCH*
*TOSS*
*BOOMATHUDD*
[SWEET LORD HAVE MERCY POP]
JI: MOUNTAIN BOMB! Goblin Queen caught Butler charging in with that Mountain Bomb!
DH: CARAMBA! Such impact!
[Goblin Queen ROARS as she gets to her feet and then runs off the ropes, she rebounds and charges in before leaping up...]
*BOOMATHUDDADOOM*
JI: HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR! What a Running Vertical Splash!
DH: Again, I keep saying it but.. SUCH IMPACT!
*SMACK*
[Her majesty of smash your face in gives Butler a downward elbow to the left side of the chest before going for the cover. Pink mask leaps into position, on all fours with her backside to Gordon J. Dutt and the manager has a smile the size of the entire MILKY WAY GALAXY across his perverted face!]
ONE!
[Dutt scrambles to get his cell phone out.]
TWO!!
[He is trying to turn it on and switch to the camera app..]
THR-NO!
[BIG POP]
JI: Gloria JUST got her shoulder up!
DH: What is going on with him, Diego?!
[Dutt is PISSED because Pink Mask has leaped up to hold up two fingers before he could take a picture of her best side, in his opinion, and he gives a frustrated slam of his fist onto the ring apron.]
JI: He probably thought Goblin Queen had it won there!
DH: Then why does he have his cell phone out?
JI: No se!
[Gloria holds her chest with a grimace as she struggles to get to her feet but she is soon helped up, via two handfuls of her hair and crazy power, by the JPWF Women's World Champion. Goblin Queen gives Butler a HARD SLAP before spinning around...]
JI: SPINNING BACK FI-
*DUCK*
[GIANT POP]
[Butler avoids the spinning back fist and catches the monarch of misery with a kick to the midsection, doubling her over, before hooking her head and...]
*LIFT*
[SHE REALLY IS WONDER WOMAN WE ARE SEEING FREAKING WONDER WOMAN HERE POP]
JI: GLORIA HAS GOBLIN QUEEN LIFTED HIGH IN THE AIR!
DH: INCREDIBLE!

*FALL*
*BOOMAPOWATHUD*
[DALEKS AND DECEPTICONS EATING ENERGON PIZZA SUPER DUPER POP]
JI: DELAYED VERTICAL SUPLEX!
DH: Gloria is AMAZING, Jose!
[Butler holds the left side of her chest and grimaces a bit as she gets to her feet. Dutt looks nervous outside the ring but also can't stop glancing up at Pink Mask everytime she passes by.]
JI: Dutt seems very suspicious of our official in this match.
DH: Lo se! He keeps a well trained eye on her. He must not trust her to do a fair job and I do not blame him.
JI: Que?!
DH: Referees do not like our kind.
JI: What kind is that?
DH: The rudo kind.
[Gloria pulls Goblin Queen to her feet and hooks her from behind before...]
*TOSS*
*THUDABOOM*
[HEAD DROPPAGE HOLY MOLY POP]
JI: What a German Suplex!
DH: GERMANAHHHHHHH SUPLEXAHHHHHHHH! ROY IS A LOSER-AHHHHHH!

ONE!
TWO!!
TH-NO!
[BIG POP]
JI: Goblin Queen kicked out!
[Dutt drops to his knees, relieved but then he watches Pink Mask get to her feet and realizes he missed his chance and slaps the ring apron in frustration once more! Gloria shakes her head and then goes to pull the Goblin Queen up but her highness of mutilated Barbie faces nails a quick jab to the throat!]
[BIG BOOS]
JI: What a cheap shot!
DH: No such thing, Jose! The most prestigious championship in women's wrestling is on the line!
[Gloria gasps for breath while Pink Mask gets on Goblin Queen's case but the Queen ignores teh ref as she spins around...]
*SMACK*
[OUCH OUCH OUCH POP]
JI: SPINNING BACK FIST INTO GLORIA'S CHEST!
DH: That is not the usual target for the move is it?
JI: No, but Goblin Queen has been targeting Butler's chest throughout the match.
[Gloria's eyes go wide as she grasps at her chest and stumbles into the ropes. Goblin Queen growls as she grabs Butler from behind and...]
*TOSS*
*THUDABOOM*
[SUPLEX POP]
JI: German Suplex!

[Butler is in a BAD way and the Goblin Queen wants to ensure she is in a WORSE way as she runs off the ropes..]
JI: Another Hiroshima Mon Amour coming up?!
*LEAP*
*ROLL*
*THUDDD*
[MASSIVE GIANT TARDIS BREAK DANCE POP]
JI: BUTLER MOVED OUT OF THE WAY!
DH: Wow!
[Dutt can't believe what is happening but the crowd is LOVING IT as they MARK OUT LIKE NUTS! Gloria gets to her knees and grimaces as she grabs at the left side of her chest. She watches as Goblin Queen struggles to her feet and she charges from behind and ducks her head under the majesty of maelstrom, hooks her arms and...]
*LIFT*
[NO FREAKING WAY SUPER DUPER EYES BULGING OUT HOLY MOLY POP]

[Pink Mask is about to jump into position to make the count when...]
[SHAKE THE RAFTERS BOOS]
JI: What is Dutt doing?!
DH: His job!
[Dutt leaps onto the apron and screams and shouts to get the referee's attention. Pink Mask scrambles over and orders him off the apron and he protests and tries to climb through the ropes and she begins physically struggling with him!]
[SUPER BOOS]
JI: DUTT IS PREVENTING THE REFEREE FROM COUNTING THE FALL!
DH: Like I said, Jose, his job!
[With the crowd BOOING MASSIVELY Dutt struggles to get in the ring, and his hand may have "accidentally" landed on Pink Mask's backside a few times. Totally accidentally. Gloria can't hold the bridge and Goblin Queen breaks free and rolls towards the ropes. Butler grimaces as she grabs her chest and then looks up and sees Dutt tying up the ref. She gets to her feet and flashes RAGE filled eyes at Dutt who stops in his tracks and flashes a nervous smile before.. Leaping off the apron to the floor!]
[DAMN YOU BOOS]
JI: Unbelievable! Butler may have had the JPWF Women's World Championship WON there but Dutt..
DH: How many times must I say he did his job til you understand, Jose?!
[Gloria curses at Dutt outside the ring and Gordon tries to act completely innocent. Pink Mask tries to end the in ring to out of ring interaction but Butler is PISSED at Dutt. Which is unfortunate for her because a MAJESTIC KAIJU OF DEMON RAGE AND DESTRUCTION RISES BEHIND HER!]
JI: Butler needs to turn around!
DH: I think it is too late now, Jose!
[The crowd tries to warn Butler but she is too absorbed in her outrage towards Dutt that she is caught totally offguard when a massive hand grabs her shoulder, spins her around and...]
*SLAMABAMASMACK*
*THUD*
[AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SHE DEAD AIEEEEEEEEEEE POP]
JI: MADRE Y DIOS! HEART PUNCH!
DH: DIOS MIO!
[Goblin Queen scrambles for the cover, Pink Mask leaps into position and with cellphone in hand Dutt does as well!]
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
*DING DING DING*
[SUPER ATOMIC BOOS]
FR: Here is your winner and STILL.. JPWF Women's World Champion... THE GOBLIN QUEEN!
[Dutt pumps his fist in VICTORY as he looks at his cellphone, pleased with whatever snapshot he got there while Goblin Queen rises to her feet and ROARS while beating her chest! Pink Mask checks on Butler who just clutches at her chest and grimaces in loads of pain.]
JI: What a WAR these two just had!
DH: The strategy worked, Jose.
JI: Indeed. The Goblin Queen remains the JPWF Women's World Champion and will meet the winner of La Reina de el Centro Tournament finals in our season finale!
[We watch Dutt gleefully hop around the ring celebrating while his charge yells gutteral screams at the crowd before we cut backstage to inside one of the locker rooms. We see a battered Juno Takayama siting on a bench with her right knee bandaged and holding ice packs to it. She grimaces as she looks up.]
JT: In 2013 I fought in Miyuki Ozaki's Empress Cup. A one night tournament in my home city of Osaka, Japan. I suffered a black eye in the first round when Darling Nightmare used brass knuckles on me but I advanced. BLADE Nakura made my eye worse in our semi-final match but I managed to get by her. And then in the finals.. I fought SNAKE Fujita and somehow I won.
[Juno closes her eyes but winces from her pain in the present before opening her eyes and making a sad face.]
JT: I thought I had won everything but moments later instead of being handed a trophy, Queen Miyuki Ozaki walked out and announced that the tournament was to determine who would face her in the real finals.
[Takayama leans back against the lockers behind her, closing her eyes tightly from the pain in her knee and shakes her head.]
JT: She kicked my ass. I had won nothing. She got the trophy and glory of our hometown.
[Juno grimaces as she leans forward but sighs and nods her head.]
JT: I am a long way from Osaka, Japan but tonight... This is also a one night tournament and I do not think it is sponsored by Perfect Girl Evolution or Miyuki Ozaki. The finals coming up are the legit finals and tonight I have suffered much.
[She grits her teeth as she looks down at her knee but she looks up at us, the viewer, before continuing on.]
JT: But I can suffer more because I will redeem that night with this one.
[Juno gives a grimaced bow to the camera and then we cut away to the glorious outside, specifically, the roof of the Viva Lucha Arena. Looking out to the horizon is La Reina de el Centro tournament finalist Tesla St. James. Her hair blows in the wind, her eyes squint at the setting sun.]
TSJ: I've been in this business for more than a decade and half.
[She glances over her shoulder to the camera.]
TSJ: And I've still not figured out how to escape you [MEEP]ing camera people.
[She turns back to face the horizon as the camera positions to her side.]
TSJ: I say that with love, of course.
[Tesla lets out a low sigh before starting to stretch out her right arm.]
TSJ: I don't know what my future holds. I only have goals. I only have a determination and willingness to work to the full extent of my abilities, to prove people wrong.
[She starts to stretch out her other arm.]
TSJ: For all the things I've accomplished I am always reminded of what I have not. I may not like the "Buffalo" chants but they are there for a reason. With all due respect to Juno Takayama, I can't picture an outcome any different than me winning this tournament. She's a fierce competitor but I need to be fiercer to get at who I want.
[There's a pregnant pause as the camera man is seemingly egging her on to say it.]
TSJ: Really? I have to say it?
[A slight camera nod.]
TSJ: [MEEP] the Queen. Off with her head.
[Tesla smiles.]
TSJ: That's what you want, right?
[Tesla thumbs at the horizon.]
TSJ: That will come. But that is out there. Here, now, in this arena. The Buffalo ascends tonight
[Fades to inside the ring where Fernando Rodriguez is standing by.]
FR: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and are the FINALS of LA REINA DE EL CENTRO TOURNAMENT!
[MAIN EVENT SUPER POP]
[Music plays, (this music: https://youtu.be/kuIG2vobCRg ), and the crowd MARKS OUT!]
FR: Introducing first.. From the CLASS OF 2010 stable... JUNO TAKAYAMA!
[A very battered looking Juno Takayama limps towards the ring with much determination in her eyes.]
DH: BOOOOOOO!
JI: Calmate, Diego.
DH: BOOOOOO!
[Takayama struggles to climb up the steps and climb into the ring but she gives a slap to her right knee and then pumps her fists up into the air, motioning to the fans who MARK OUT!]
FR: And her opponent..
["When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zepplin plays over the PA and the crowd MARKS OUT AGAIN!]
FR: From the ELEMENTS stable.. Here is... TESLA ST. JAMES!
[Tesla walks at a brisk pace towards the ring, her eyes locked on her opponent while fans GO NUTS MARKING OUT LIKE CRAZY!]
JI: As if St. James didn't have enough motivation before to win this tournament.. Now that Goblin Queen has retained the JPWF Women's World Championship over her stablemate Gloria Butler, she has even MORE reasons to win this tournament and become number one contender.
DH: Do not forget that she needs to make Juno SUFFER for eliminating the beautiful masked goddess!
[Tesla climbs into the ring and keeps her eyes locked on Takayama. Juno grits her teeth as she waits in a corner. Pink Mask checks both competitors while Fernando leaves the ring. Once satisfied that neither are hiding any weapons the official motions for the bell.]
*DING*
********************************************************** La Reina de El Centro Finals:
Tecnica: Tesla St. James [The Elements]
vs
Tecnica: Juno Takayama [Class of 2010] **********************************************************
[SUPER DUPER MAIN EVENT TOURNAMENT FINALS POP]
JI: THE FINALS OF LA REINA DE EL CENTRO TOURNAMENT ARE OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!
DH: At least I will not hear that again tonight.
[Both women come out to the middle of the ring. They shake hands before they begin to circle around one another.]
[BIG SPORTSMANSHIP POP]
DH: BOOO!
JI: Diego!
DH: Que?! Tesla could have kicked her knee there instead of shaking hands!
[They lock up in the middle of the ring and jockey for advantage before Tesla trips Takayama to the canvas and shoots for the right leg. Juno tries to scramble away but St. James slaps on a KNEEBAR and Takayama HOWLS in pain!]
[WOAH POP]
JI: We are MOMENTS into this final and already Takayama's knee has landed her in SERIOUS trouble here!
DH: Bien! Her pain is music to the ears of those who had to witness the injustice committed to the mysterious masked beauty goddess!
[Pink Mask asks Juno if she wants to give up but Takayama shakes her head "no" before clawing at the canvas and dragging herself and St. James to the ropes which she grabs to force a break.]
[POP]
DH: BOOO!
[Tesla gives a clean break and Juno grinds her teeth together hard as she pulls herself up with the ropes. They go to lock up again but this time Tesla shoots straight for the leg and forces Juno to hop on one leg before hooking the right knee and..]
*THUD*
[SWEET LORD HAVE MERCY EGADS POP]
JI: St. James DDT'D Juno's injured right knee!
DH: I do not think this one is going to be an epic classic, Jose! This will be over soon!
[Juno cries as she clutches at her knee, while Tesla stoically goes about her business of dragging Takayama from the ropes and locking on the KNEEBAR again!]
[HOLY SCHMOKEYS REAL DANGER POP]
JI: St. James is not wasting ANY time and is out to end this as quickly as possible!
DH: She already fought in a cibernetico tonight, Jose! Better to start conserving her energy for the bigger fight ahead.
[Takayama trembles from the pain but she grits her teeth and tries to reach for the ropes but St. James does well to keep her foe stuck in the middle of the ring. Pink mask asks if Juno wants to give up but the Class of 2010-er shakes her head "no" and grabs Tesla's left foot and begins trying to twist on it and this forces the break of the hold.]
[POP]
JI: Takayama found a way out!
DH: But these are just band aids on a bullet wound, Jose. She can find a hundred ways to escape but we are going to see her end up in similar situations over and over again in this match until the inevitable settles in.
[Juno uses the ropes to pull herself up but the redhead is on her quickly and is going after the right knee. Takayama tries to throw a forearm smash but St. James avoids and then shoots for the knee and once she has a hold of it...]
*TWIST*
[EGADS KNEE PAIN DEAR GOD POP]
JI: DRAGON CORKSCREW!
DH: At the moment I am not a fan of Takayama for crimes committed earlier..
JI: Diego..
DH: But she should think about the future and quit this match.
JI: You just want to see her humiliated by submitting don't you?
DH: SI!
[Takayama cries out but soon has more reason to cry out as St. James goes after her knee with elbow drops, knee drops and a leaping leg drop!]
DH: Look at the viciousness by St. James!
JI: I don't think there is viciousness in what Tesla is doing here.
DH: Que?!
JI: She has seen the beloved MBC Women's World Championship ripped to pieces by a monster who now drags another prestigious championship, the JPWF Women's World Championship, along the ground like it is a piece of garbage. Everything she is doing tonight is to make things right for dreams that were close to her heart that have been desecrated by the Goblin Queen.
[Juno tries to shove St. James off of her but Tesla gives a kick to the knee before dragging Takayama away from the ropes by it.]
JI: The only road to pursue her justice is through this.
DH: So you want to see Juno suffer for the eliminating the Beautiful Master too?
JI: *sighs*
[Tesla starts to go for a spinning toe hold but Juno uses her left leg to push the Elements member off of her! Takayama cries out as she tries to scramble up to her feet but her knee buckles and she falls into the ropes!]
[YIKES POP]
[St. James rushes in and grabs Juno by her right knee and forces her to hop on the left leg. Tesla gives a HARD forearm smash to the knee, Juno cries out but then grits her teeth and...]
*LEAP*
*DODGE*
*THUD*
[WOWZA POP]
JI: Takayama went for an awkward leaping enziguiri kick with her left leg but Tesla avoided it!
DH: Looks like St. James is waiting for the perfect moment, Jose!
[Tesla watches, focused and determined, as her opponent pulls herself up to her feet and then she launches herself...]
*SMACK*
*THUD*
[GOOD GOD POP]
JI: CHOP BLOCK TO THE RIGHT KNEE FROM BEHIND!
DH: This is the end, Jose!
[Juno trembles and shakes from the pain as tears go down her face while she clutches her knee. Tesla wastes no time in going after her opponent and trying to hook the legs..]
[ANTICIPATION HUGE POP]
JI: St. James is going for Irish Red!
DH: Do it! MAKE HER PAY!
[Juno does her best to fight off being turned over but eventually she is turned over and..]
[MASSIVE POP]
JI: SHE HAS IT! Tesla has the IRISH RED on!
DH: VIVA REVENGE!
[Juno SCREAMS from the pain and claws at her blue hair and buries her face into the canvas to muffle her screams! Tesla just sits back more and stretches Juno's knees further. Pink Mask asks Juno if she wants to give up, Takayama shakes her head "no" but cries out in pain. Takayama tries to claw towards the ropes but the pain from the hold makes her go into convulsions and trembles! Pink Mask asks her again, Juno continues to shake her head "No". Pink Mask looks at the situation for a few moments before deciding things for herself.]
*DING DING DING*
[HOLY MOLY GIANT SUPER DUPER POP]
FR: The referee has ruled Juno Takayama can no longer continue, the winner due to referee stoppage and... LA REINA DE EL CENTRO... and.. NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE JPWF WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP... TESLA ST. JAMES!
[St. James releases the hold and jumps to her feet and screams victoriously!]
JI: Ever since the Goblin Queen tore the MBC Women's World Championship apart, Tesla St. James has pursued confronting her in the ring and now on our season finale she will reach her goal with the JPWF Women's World Championship on the line!
DH: Where is Fernando going?!
[We watch Fernando use a key to go inside of EGC's office before we cut back to the ring where we see Pink Mask and the now at ringside Harriett Morrison and Valerie Bloom help Juno Takayama leave the ring. Then we cut back to EGC's office where Fernando comes walking out with a COOL looking trophy that has the seal of the city of El Centro and a crown incorporated into it's design. He climbs into the ring and presents the trophy to St. James who takes it with a nod of her head before holding the trophy up high into the air.]
[GIANT SUPER DUPER VICTORY CELEBRATION POP]
DH: CARAMBA!
[Diego MARKS OUT because Lady Warhawk, along with Rachel "Arcee" Carlisle, hits the ring and celebrate with St. James.]
JI: Tonight, LADIES NIGHT, Tesla St. James stands tall as the number one contender for the pink belt and the QUEEN OF EL CENTRO! Gracias everyone, see you next time!
[We get one last shot of St. James, on the second turnbuckle, and holding the trophy in celebration before we fade out.]
