DEFIANCE TV 162 Night 2

♫ “DEFY” by Of Mice & Men ♫

Bright colorful lights roll across the arena as the Faithful go wild! The DEFtv opening video is playing on the DEFiatron. Many of the wrestlers we see on a daily basis as well as a few legends are shown before the music video comes to an end.

To ringside.

DDK:
Welcome everyone to NIGHT TWO! We are going to start things off almost immediately.

Lance:
Five matches coming up for you with the FIST of DEFIANCE on the line in the main event!

♫ “Fur Elise” by Cole Rolland ♫

The boos begin in earnest as the fans recognize the song they’ve come to know to herald the appearance of one Ned Reform. Reform isn’t here, however, and his protegee TA Cole emerges from the back solo. Cole completely ignores the jeers of the crowd, walking to the ring with a focused intensity.

DDK:
TA Cole has been showing quite the change in attitude on Uncut - I have to say, it’s disappointing to see the young man make quite the turn.

Lance:
I agree with you, Keebs, but we have to at least acknowledge how far he’s coming since linking up with Ned Reform. Levi Cole was a perpetual curtain jerker - TA Cole is here to challenge for a championship.

DDK:
We know that Ned Reform won’t be making his return until DEFtv 163 - you’ve got to believe that TA Cole’s goal is to have the Favoured Saints Championship waiting for him.

Cole enters the ring briskly. He continues to ignore the crowd, insteading opting to run the ropes in preparation for his opponent's entrance.

♫ “Cause” by Human Impact ♫

Green spotlights and lasers fill the DEFArena. The music builds up the tension in the arena until it finally rips into the opening guitar solo and the Favoured Saints Champion KERRY KUROYAMA quickly strides out from behind the curtain, accompanied by green and gold fountain pyros. He wastes no time posturing or playing up to the fans, briskly walking down the ramp with his determined gaze affixed on the ring. Around his waist, as always, hangs the coveted Favoured Saints Championship.

DDK:
After venturing down a long path wrought with so many setbacks, obstacles, and disappointments, “The Pacific Blitzkrieg” Kerry Kuroyama is poised to take his professional wrestling career to the next level here tonight! 

Lance:
He went to war last week against Titaness on Uncut, successfully defending the Favoured Saints Championship for the third consecutive time. And all that stands in his way to earning his shot at the Southern Heritage Title is the man in the ring, TA Cole. Win or lose, this will likely be the last time we’ll witness him coming to the ring with that belt around his waist.

DDK:
It will be the end of a short but very sweet era. Kerry has been the epitome of a fighting champion these past few weeks, racking up hard-fought wins against quality opponents in what have been some astoundingly entertaining matches. Tonight, thanks to that string of victories, he is looking more confident in himself than ever! Tonight is his moment to step up and take hold of the brass ring!

Kuroyama enters the ring, scaling the turnbuckles while wearing the title and posing to the fans with his arms pumped over his head with the knuckles touching, creating a “peak” image. When the music cuts, he goes to his corner, staring down Cole across the ring.

Darren Quimbey:
Ladies and gentleman, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and will be for the Favoured Saints Championship of DEFIANCE! Introducing first, the challenger… hailing from Omaha, Nebraska, and weighing in at two-hundred and sixty-five pounds… he is the ALL-AMERICAN…TEEEEEE-AAAAAAYYYEEE COOOOOOOOOLLLEEE!!!

TA Cole pumps his arms into the air as the Faithful loudly jeer Dr. Reform’s American-Made prized student.

Darren Quimbey:
And the opponent… hailing from Seattle, Washington, and weighing in at two-hundred and forty-four pounds… in his fourth official title defense as the reigning FAVOURED SAINTS CHAMPION of DEFIANCE… he is THE PACIFIC BLITZKRIEG... SEATTLE’S BEAST…KEEERRRYYYYYYYYY… KUUUROOOYAAAAAAMMMAAAAAAAAA!!!

Kuroyama thrusts the Favoured Saints Title into the air over his head with the pure wrestling spirit of the DEFIANCE Faithful roaring behind him. When the posturing is over, he hands the belt over to presiding official Benny Doyle, who holds it up with reverence for the camera and audience to see what’s at stake. Then he hands the belt over to the timekeeper on his way out of the ring. Kuroyama and Cole are bouncing in their corners in anticipation when Benny cues for the bell.

DING DING

Kerry and Cole come out of their corners and go straight into the collar-and-elbow lock-up. Their bodies dance around the ring as either man tries to overpower the other and fight for leverage. They transition into a standing headlock applied by Kerry while Cole locks his arms around the champion’s waist.

Lance:
Both of these men are fairly evenly matched in size, stature, and technique. This should make for an interesting contest of strength, conditioning, skill, and sheer wits.

DDK:
These men seem to be at a stalemate… but now Kerry breaks free from Cole’s grip and slips around behind him with a rear waistlock of his own! 

Lance:
But TA Cole simply backs up into the corner to get the rope break. Quick thinking on his part.

Doyle tells them to break it up and clear out of the corner. Kerry holds up his hands over his head before Cole quickly hurries out of his range. Both men recompose themselves before going into another tie-up!

DDK:
Both of these men still seem to be feeling each other out before going into the lock-up again… and TA Cole gets the first takedown, dipping low and snagging Kuroyama’s ankle! He’s getting around behind him now, but a SNAPMARE from the champion rolls him to the mat!

Lance:
Kerry was looking to capitalize off of that, but TA Cole once again gets himself just out of range. He’s showing some good awareness so far. 

DDK:
He likely knows that Kerry only needs a brief window of opportunity to end his hopes for a championship run!

Kuroyama is brimming with confidence, occupying the center of the ring and allowing TA Cole to make the next move. Cole encircles him, looking for his opening. Then he shoots in low, again targeting the waist. Kerry looks to be turning himself into it, but suddenly pivots and comes around with a discus forearm that cracks Cole in the jaw and drops him to the mat, getting a roar from the crowd!

DDK:
WHAT a forearm strike by the champion! 

Lance:
Cole went right to the mat… did that knock his lights out? 

DDK:
I guess we’ll see as Kerry goes for the first cover in this match!

One… 

Two… 

And Cole kicks out! Shaken up, but not out!

TA Cole quickly reaches over Kerry’s back and tangles up the arm into a kimura lock, suddenly with a chance to turn the tables. Kuroyama somersaults through it to break free before Cole can lock him into a leg scissor. 

DDK:
TA Cole was looking for the submission, but Kerry got away! Both men to their feet… UP and OVER with the Japanese Arm Drag goes TA Cole! Cole is back up… he runs into ANOTHER of Kerry’s arm drags, right into a standing armbar!

Lance:
Kuroyama has perfect form in there. He is undoubtedly at peak performance. He’s waited for this moment to step up for many, many years!

Cole is clutching his back off the last bump, slow to get to his feet as Kerry pushes him into the ropes to send him into motion. TA Cole has a full head of steam as he comes charging back, looking for a short-arm clothesline, but Kuroyama DUCKS!

DDK:
Kuroyama ducks the lariat attempt as Cole comes off the ropes - and DRILLS HIM with a FLOAT-OVER DDT!! Kuroyama makes the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THR - NO!! TA Cole got the shoulder up, but still looks dazed off the impact from that absolutely brutal-looking DDT!

Lance:
The champion Kerry has kept in full control of the match, however.

Kuroyama gets TA Cole to sit up, and promptly tries to wrangle him to his feet into a KATAHAJIME CHOKE - but Cole instead drops to the mat with a reverse jawbreaker to break free! Both men scramble to their feet and tie-up once again. Kerry quickly grabs him around the waist…

DDK:
Here’s Kerry, looking for the BELLY-TO-BELLY - no, COLE BLOCKS it by hooking the leg! Cole pivots… and NAILS Kuroyama with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex of his own!

Lance:
TA Cole seems to know that move by heart. There was no way he was falling into it that easily.

Kerry instinctively rolls off his back onto his knees, clutching his back. Cole is on top of him before he can get to the ropes, catching him on the rise with a knee strike to the ribs and locking up his arms into double underhooks.

DDK:
And there’s a DOUBLE-UNDERHOOK SUPLEX onto the champion by TA Cole!

Lance:
It looks like the challenger may be coming out on top in the contest of power. Kerry could be in a bad situation now.

DDK:
Kuroyama, trying to get up, but Cole grabs him from behind! Rolls him up… no, rolls him INTO a DEVASTATING Deadlift German Suplex! TA Cole going for the cover this time!

One!

Two!

And the champion kicks out! Still plenty of fight left in Kerry Kuroyama, who has fought too hard to let it all end that easily!

TA Cole is now looking confident as he pulls Kerry back off the mat and sets him up for a T-Bone suplex, but Kuroyama snaps back to it and fights him off with a pair of elbow shots to the side of Cole’s head. Kerry throws himself into the ropes to get some running speed. Cole hits the mat to let him run over him.

DDK:
Kerry in motion off the ropes, and he’s on the way back as TA Cole pops to his feet! Cole LEAPFROGS the champion on the return - STOPS HIM in place with the rear waistlock - GOOD GOD, RED, WHITE, AND BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Cole HOOKS THE LEGS!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

NO!! But Kerry is noticeably slower kicking out!

Lance:
Once again, TA Cole puts the champion down HARD onto his back. Kerry has dished out some devastating moves in his past matches, but tonight, the student of Dr. Ned Reform is taking the Favoured Saints Champion to suplex school!

DDK:
TA Cole, or “Levi” as we’ve long known him, is a tenured DEFIANCE athlete, although his win-loss ratio has never been anywhere close to impressive. I guess we’ve all become so accustomed to Levi Cole being something of a stepping stone to future stars, none of us really expected he’d ever step up to the level he’s at now as the new and improved TA Cole.

Lance:
The Doctor’s grooming of the All-American into his ideal vision of a professional wrestler definitely seems to be paying off. And what a feather in his cap it would be if Reform’s student came away from tonight with the Favoured Saints Championship! 

Back up on his feet and now brimming with overconfidence, Cole takes a moment to pat himself on the back while the fans boo. Kerry tries to shake out the cobwebs, but doesn’t get too much time to recover before TA Cole is on him again. The All-American wraps him up around the waist.

Lance:
TA Cole is looking like he’s in full control of things, and knows he’s got a legitimate chance of winning this.

DDK:
He may be going for the kill as he gets Kuroyama up for a GUTWRENCH SUPLEX - BUT NO!! Kerry clips the leg, and instead takes Cole down to the mat - and goes right for the CLOVERLEAF!!

The cheering raises in pitch as the momentum shifts into Kuroyama’s favor. Kerry struggles to twist Cole around onto his chest as the All-American fights with all desperation. Finally, Kerry baits him into turning right when he should have gone left, and fully rolls TA Cole over into the Texas cloverleaf hold. TA Cole is howling in agony.

DDK:
The submission attempt is fully locked in! How long can TA Cole fight it? What a sudden turn of events!

Lance:
For a minute there, it was looking rather bleak for the Favoured Saints Champion, but on a dime he switched up his technique and caught Cole off guard, taking the challenger off his base and putting him into a dangerous position.

TA Cole twists and writhes around in an effort to escape, but the champion Kuroyama kneels as low as he can to pin him in place. The Faithful are cheering wildly as Cole’s face disappears into his hands, but he furiously shakes his head refusing to give in.

Lance:
The challenger refuses to tap, but he might be scheming an escape here.

DDK:
Cole, pushing himself off the mat… now he tucks his head to ROLL OUT - but KERRY ROLLS AS WELL, and switches around into an INVERTED CLOVERLEAF!!

Lance:
Well, I wasn’t wrong, but Kerry was just two steps ahead of him!

The crowd pops loudly again as Kuroyama dashes Cole’s hopes for an escape, and Dr. Reform’s student wails in surprise, frustration, and excruciating pain! He reaches out with his hands, desperately trying to crawl to the ropes, but Kerry has successfully positioned himself directly in the center of the ring.

KER-RY!! KER-RY!! KER-RY!! KER-RY!!

DDK:
Cole has to do something here! He’s inching his way to the ropes… three feet… two feet… ONE FOOT… no, TWO FEET - and KERRY PULLS HIM BACK into the middle of the ring!

Lance:
The Favoured Saints Champion is showing who controls the ring right now! TA Cole has tried everything to get out of this, but nothing has worked to his favor! I think he’s on the verge of breaking!

DDK:
Doyle is leaning in… TA Cole is reaching OUT…

... ... ... ...

Lights out.

Lance:
What the hell is going on here?

They don’t stay off long as everyone in the arena notices Malak Garland standing on the apron, seething at the teeth. Somehow, through the entire ordeal, Kerry hasn’t relinquished the hold. Malak enters the ring as everyone notices the light tube in his hand.

DDK:
MALAK GARLAND?! What is HE doing out here!?

Malak charges into the fray as Kerry releases the hold to dodge the attack, and Garland’s first swing hits nothing but air. He quickly tries to follow it up with a wild side kick, which Kerry also avoids. Unfortunately, TA Cole does not. Reform’s student takes the kick to his ribs and immediately hits the mat, and referee Benny Doyle has no choice but to call for the bell.

DING DING DING

Confusion sets in as Doyle tells the ring announcer the result.

Darren Quimbey:
Ladies and gentlemen, due to outside interference… Kerry Kuroyama has been DISQUALIFIED!

BOOOOOOOOO!!

Darren Quimbey:
As a result, the winner of the match, by technicality… TEEEEEE-AAAYYYEEE COOOOOOLLLE!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

DDK:
WHAT!? I don’t believe it!

Kerry is livid as he looks between the official and the timekeeper. Regrettably, his outrage causes him to forget about Malak, who is still in the ring with the light tube in his hand.

CRACK!

The fans are left in awe as Malak Garland shatters the tube over the top of Kerry’s head. A plume of glass dust dissipates into the air. Kerry falls face down on the mat as TA Cole reaches for his feet, still in pain. Malak holds the jagged edged light tube in hand as he approaches Kerry’s motionless body.

Malak Garland:
Nice little trick I pulled there, huh? You can thank Cyrus for lending me that one. Boy, do I ever want to get stabby up in here right now. Lots to unpack.

Malak kneels beside Kerry with shattered pieces of glass everywhere. The fans boo as they feel like the wind is taken out of their sail. Malak giggles to himself as he holds up the broken tube, pretending to plunge it into the back of Kerry’s head.

Malak Garland:
How extreme of me. How extreme of me, indeed.

Garland discards the weapon before heading to the back, completely robbing Kerry of continuing his Favored Saints win streak. TA Cole, meanwhile, is celebrating his victory by technicality, seemingly unaware that it comes without the championship.

DDK:
Well this is an outrageous turn of events, as the Keyboard King interjects himself right into a pivotal moment in this title match and delivers the champion a loss by disqualification! This was shaping up to be a decent championship contest, too!

Lance:
Kerry will retain the Favoured Saints Title in any case, but still, this counts as a loss, and all it takes is one to completely derail the streak of four successful title defenses needed to earn a shot at the Southern Heritage Title.

DDK:
I guess TA Cole got a lucky break tonight. As for Kerry Kuroyama, there’s no telling what he’ll do in the fallout of this attack, but I have a feeling he won’t be overlooking Malak Garland any more after tonight!

Kerry is holding the back of his head and glaring back up the rampway with intense anger as Benny Doyle helps him off the mat.

Bottoms Up Every Single Night!

Black screen.

♫ Mozart - Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550 ♫

As the classical symphony begins to play, the following words appear on the screen in fancy font:

NED Talks
w/Doctor Ned Reform

Deep Voiced V/O:
This is “NED Talks” with Dr. Ned Reform.

Fade into a large oak desk. Same deal as last time: on the desk are various items of a professional nature: file folders, open books, etc. On the left corner of the desk is a large globe. On the right corner is a shiny nameplate that reads “Dr. Ned Reform.” In a cushy desk chair dead center sits the man himself, Ned Reform. He’s got his reading glasses on and is wearing a professional dark blue suit coat. Reform is reading a rather thick book until he catches sight of the camera out of the corner of his eye. He flashes a shit-eating grin, closes the book, and turns in his chair to face the camera head on.

From inside the arena, we hear the boos begin as this segment begins to play on the DEFitron. 

Ned Reform:
The hour draws closer, children. In two weeks time, Dr. Ned Reform makes his return to DEFIANCE at DEFtv 163. “But Doctor Reform,” you say, “what more could you possibly do?”

Reform smiles.

Ned Reform:
Good question! But before I answer that, I’d like to talk about a subject that doesn’t get nearly enough attention. Namely, the human appendix. An organ inside the human body that… well, serves no real purpose. While medical professionals theorize that at one point in the human evolutionary chain, the appendix may have played a vital role in the human body… today, it is a relic. In fact, not only does it not contribute to your health and wellness, it can potentially be harmful! 

Reform holds out his hands in a “who knows?” gesture.

Ned Reform:
And while it’s possible the appendix was once important… humanity would actually be better off if everyone was born sans appendix. 

Reform folds his hands.

Ned Reform:
“And why, Doctor Reform, are you telling us this?” I’m glad you asked! You see… as we all know, I am the BRAIN of DEFIANCE. There is, of course, the reigning FIST of DEFIANCE. But you may not realize that DEFIANCE also has its own APPENDIX. That’s right! The APPENDIX of DEFIANCE! 

More boos from the live crowd. Reform pays it no mind.

Ned Reform:
Much like the real appendix, this person may have once served a real purpose. May have once played a vital role in this promotion. But what that contribution was has been lost to time. Now, the APPENDIX of DEFIANCE only appears when The Favored Saints want to pop a rating by trotting out a “legend” in the wrestling business. Legend, if you don’t know, is code for past-their-prime. Useless. OLD!

More boos.

Ned Reform:
And so, it is my duty as the Good Doctor of DEFIANCE to return at DEFtv 163 to perform much needed emergency surgery. To remove the APPENDIX. To save the rest of the body before this useless organ finally bursts and poisons us all with it’s inner bile.

Reform arches an eyebrow. 

Ned Reform:
I’m sure this will be unpopular. You see, this particular person is one that the miscreants and scoundrels of DEFIANCE…

Reform makes air quotes.

Ned Reform:
…”believe” in. 

He can barely hide his disgust.

Ned Reform:
And while this person doesn’t generally have much to contribute to the conversation, I WILL stand face-to-face with them at DEFtv 163. And I will do what must be done…

A dark smile.

Ned Reform:
...for each and everyone one of you.

Reform leans back in his chair as the screen fades elsewhere. 

DDK:
This next match is gonna be nothing short of physical. Since DEftv 160, BFTA’s Jack Mace and Titaness of Los Tres Titanes have been getting into fights since Titaness helped SNS out against them. Mace and Titaness have attacked one another after matches on UNCUT and our last DEFtv so finally it comes to a head tonight. Titaness, Jack Mace, one on one! 

The camera shows stills of UNCUT 105 where Mace attacked Titaness after her match with Kazuo Akamatsu with a deadlift German suplex, followed by DEFtv 161 where Titaness does the same to Mace after his match with David Fox. 

Lance:
Titaness had a TREMENDOUS showing in the Favoured Fiveway Match back at DEFtv as well as one-on-one for the Favoured Saints Title on UNCUT, but came up short. She’s earned new legions of fans lately, but The Killer Bear clearly isn’t one of them. Let’s get to it!

And to Darren Quimbey we go. 

Darren Quimbey:
The following singles match is set for one fall! Introducing from The Bronx, weighing in at 200 pounds… she is a member of Los Tres Titanes… ”THE SHOW OF FORCE” TITANESS!

Then a set of words appears on the DEFIAtron in silver…  

THE SHOW OF FORCE
TITANESS 

♫ “Giants" by True Damage ♫

The Faithful show love for the powerhouse as a single violet spotlight shines on the female powerhouse of Los Tres Titanes, flexing her arms, back to the stage. She pops The Faithful with a standing backflip on the ramp, sending a quick shower of gold and silver pyro on either side of the stage! Titaness then heads down the ramp, shedding her vest and slapping hands with the ringside Faithful. Her arms are raised as she climbs the middle rope in the corner, and finally hops down to the mat. She looks ready for a fight. 

 ♫ “The House Jack Built (instrumental)” by Metallica ♫

The music plays and out comes a very well-built man wearing silver trunks, knee pads, wrestling boots… And a black overcoat with a hood over his face. The hood comes off and looking out to the crowd is the Killer Bear. No ADV. No Morrow. All by himself. 

Darren Quimbey:
And from Grewelthorpe, England… weighing in at 268 pounds… he is ”THE KILLER BEAR…. AHHH!

Charging at the ring, Mace rips off his coat and then tries to throw it at Titaness like he did to David Fox two weeks ago. Titaness clearly learned from that so she dodges the coat and hits Mace with a running pump kick to the chest!

DING DING

DDK:
Here we go! These two have been wanting to tear one another apart for weeks! We’re finally here! 

She nails the pump kick and sends Mace back a few steps before a running forearm smash catches him upside the head. She follows up by running off the ropes with a double knee strike to the chest, then runs off the roeps one more time to come back with a big corner elbow smash to the side of Mace’s head. The Killer Bear looks stunned while Titaness lets out a huge scream, getting cheers from The Faithful! 

Lance:
Titaness is fired up tonight! She wants to put this issue with Jack Mace down tonight. 

As Mace stumbles out of the corner, rocked and loopy from The Show of Force’s opening onslaught, she tries for a big whip. Mace still has enough in him to reverse the whip and send her to the corner, but the athletic Titaness leaps up and over Mace as he charges, sending him crashing into the corner. She catches him from behind early and goes for a schoolgirl pin!

ONE… TW-NO!

DDK:
First nearfall by Titaness… both competitors back up!

She runs at Mace and he swings with a back elbow and misses… but Titaness comes back with a jumping shoulder block and knocks Mace back, sending him to the ropes! The Show of Force gets back up and then grabs Mace by the side. He tries to fight his way out with a pair of big elbows and runs… but before he can, she grabs him by the belt and drops him with a huge belly to back suplex to the amazement of the crowd! 

DDK:
Big suplex by Titaness! Can she get the win?

ONE… TWO… KICKOUT!

Mace kicks out again, but The Show of Force is doing well with her efforts to keep the bigger Killer Bear on the back foot.

DDK:
Titaness is really taking the fight Mace… uh-oh! Is she thinking that german suplex she hit him with two weeks ago? 

She tries the rear waistlock on the Killer Bear, but he elbows his way free! He grabs her by the hair and SNAPS her down with a hair pull takedown! The Faithful JEER Mace as he hovers over Titaness and grins like the jerk that he is. 

Lance:
Some Damn Fine Pro Wrestler he is, huh?

DDK:
Indeed… OOOH! Running senton by Mace! 

The Faithful cringe collectively when the burly Brit lands a massive running senton across the rib cage of Titaness! Instead of going for a cover, Mace talks some trash to the powerhouse sensation as he sits on the mat next to her, watching her writhe in pain. 

Jack Mace:
This is MY mat, little girl! Not yours! 

He paintbrushes the back of her head and gets a big burst of booing from the Faithful.

DDK:
Come on, Mace. If you got her down, beat her!

Mace starts stomping away on Titaness and continues to do so until he has a free shot, then goes behind to hit a huge release German suplex, sending The Show of Force crashing to the mat! Mace grits his teeth, then heads over to Titaness again as the crowd jeers. He grabs the LTT powerhouse by the hair then drops her down with another big move, this time in the form of an inverted scoop powerslam!

DDK:
Mace now picking her apart with these big power moves of his! Can he finish her with that inverted scoop powerslam?

ONE… TWO… NO!

The shoulder of the defiant (given where she works, that’s implied) Titaness comes up. Mace balls up a fist, then goes to Titaness again. He picks her up a second time, then HURLS her over head with another release German suplex, dumping her back down to the canvas. The crowd jeers as Mace stands up again and then this time, underhooks the arms. He goes for a big move, then holds her up in the air… 

DDK:
Mace giving Titaness a taste of her own medicine with his own show of power! He’s got her up in that dangerous double underhook position! 

He paces around the ring and then finally drops her after a solid ten seconds with a big double arm slam! Mace takes in the jeers from the crowd as the BFTA member holds his arms out. 

Lance:
Titaness has taken a few hits in that ring! She needs a countermove or needs to find an opening if she wants to defeat Mace tonight. 

DDK:
Easier said than done. While David Fox won two weeks ago, it was a desperation roll-up. Mace can maul people as a brawler, but has an amateur and technical background that serves him just as well. He’s not just some musclehead. He has technique as well. 

The Killer Bear pulls Titaness up by the hair and then laughs as he underhooks her arms… the crowd JEERS louder as he looks to be going for Titaness’ own finisher, the Titanium Driver. 

Lance:
What a slap in the face this would be if he can beat her with her own finisher? This is insult to injury! 

He gets the double underhook and hoists her up… but Titaness uses some of the lucha expertise to snap Mace over with a counter hurricanrana out of nowhere into a cover!

ONE… TWO… KICKOUT!

DDK:
Almost caught Mace with that hurricanrana… or Titan-canrana, if I may?

Lance:
Titaness up… but Mace with a BIG shoulder tackle! Rams Titaness back to the corner! 

The Killer Bear then ROCKS the Show of Force with a massive uppercut, stunning her against the ropes. The Bronx native is stunned and barely hanging on to the ropes by one arm while Mace smiles, ready to wrap things up. He runs off the ropes and gets ready to deliver a lariat of some sort…  but to the surprise of many, Titaness CATCHES him and drives him down with a huge spinebuster! 

DDK:
NO WAY! 

Lance:
Titaness’ strength is uncanny! She took big Mace off his feet and dropped him with that spinebuster! She hit a deadlift on Kerry during that Favoured Saints title match on UNCUT, then nails the even larger Jack Mace with one! 

Titaness quickly floats over and hooks a leg for the cover!

ONE… TWO… NO!

DDK:
Mace with the kickout! These two are indeed throwing bombs at one another, but Titaness now has the chance for a big comeback! 

Titaness is up first, but Mace isn’t far behind her. She kicks him in the stomach and tries for the Titanium Driver… but Mace does a back body drop… but Titaness lands on her feet flipping out of it! She lands near the ropes when Mace turns around and tries to tackle her again, but she moves and he goes through the ropes to the floor! Titaness then steps through the ropes as The Killer Bear tries to stand, only to wipe him out with a standing moonsault off the apron to the floor! 

DDK:
Apron moonsault by Titaness! A new move to her arsenal, but a most effective one! 

The Faithful continue cheering on the Show of Force as he tries to get a dazed and confused Mace back inside the ring before following him in. She leans against the ropes behind The Killer Bear as he tries to get back to his feet. She bounces off one set for more speed, then off the other side and RAMS right into him using a huge spear!

DDK:
Clash of the Titaness! She got speed from both sides of the ropes then wiped out Mace with that spear!

ONE… TWO… THR-KICKOUT!

The shoulder of Mace comes up before the three-count and Titaness checks with the official, but they have two fingers up! 

Lance:
I thought that was it! Mace kicks out of the Clash! 

The Show of Force goes behind Mace then tries for the deadlift German suplex… The Faithful collectively gasp when she has Jack off his feet! But before she can complete the move, Mace swings his weight forward and then shoves her back to break free. He then tries one of his own, but Titaness shifts forward into a roll-up pin!

ONE… TWO…

But Mace turns THAT around into a roll-up of his own! 

ONE… TWO… KICKOUT!

DDK:
Back and forth they go! 

When both Mace and Titaness are back on their feet, she nails a pump kick to the side of Mace’s head, rocking the burly Brit. Titaness then tries another, but Mace tries to pull Rex Knox in the way! She moves Rex out of her way, but Mace uses the moment to catch Titaness with an eye rake! The Faithful jeer when Jack grabs her by the side and tackles her to the ground with a huge leaping Thesz Press, pinning her shoulders to the mat using his weight down! 

DDK:
NO! Rex didn’t see the eye rake! He calls this the Bear Trap!

ONE… TWO… THREE!

DING DING DING

Mace rolls out of the ring victorious, and laughs that he used a wrestling move to defeat Titaness… but not without some shady tactics! She holds her eye in pain and growls as Quimbey makes the official announcement… 

Darren Quimbey:
Here is your winner of the match… JACK MACE!

Booing fills the arena while Jack Mace grabs his coat and then raises a hand before blowing an arrogant kiss at Titaness!

Jack Mace:
Told you on UNCUT, love… that mat is MY mat! 

DDK:
Mace uses the eye rake, then that Thesz Press pin for leverage called the Bear Trap! Extremely effective with the weight he can force down on the shoulders. He did beat her with a wrestling move, but not without resorting to tactics we’d expect BFTA members to use!

Lance:
Indeed… but look… TITANESS ISN’T DONE!

The Killer Bear starts to turn back to the ring to talk some more shit, but he doesn’t expect of all things, Titaness to fly OVER the ropes with a big somersault plancha to wipe out Mace on the floor! She takes out The Killer Bear and the Faithful are cheering on the Show of Force as she lays right into Mace with a volley of punches, heated over the result of this match! SHe 

DDK:
Titaness wipes him out on the floor! Mace gets the win tonight, but these two aren’t done! 

Lance:
And listen to this crowd! 

TITANESS! TITANESS! TITANESS! TITANESS! TITANESS!

The chants erupt for Titaness, but DEFSec now rush out and try to break up the fight! Mace fires back with a stiff forearm of his own and she comes back with anohtbut now Wyatt Bronson leads the charge to get them separated! 

DDK:
Her popularity has been growing since that Favoured Fiveway and that title match on UNCUT with Kerry Kuroyama! They wanted to see Titaness get this win tonight, but even though Mace took it, that just lit a fire under her! 

As DEFSEC separates the two, Mace doesn’t bother fighting DEFSec since he has the win tonight! He has some blood on his mouth after one of her punches, but smiles through a bloody mouth that he wins tonight while The Show of Force is clearly not ready to let this issue die just yet!

Ladder Match
SNS © vs. PCP vs. LTT

WARCHAMBER
Cayle Murray vs. Lindsay Troy

The scene opens backstage with Jamie Sawyers and Gage Blackwood. The interviewer wastes little time.

Jamie Sawyers:
Gage, tonight you defend the FIST of DEFIANCE against Jason ‘Stalker’ Reeves. Two weeks ago, you were propositioned by Tyler Fuse regarding a prophecy, then confronted by Teresa Ames and then attacked by the now named number one contender to your championshi-

Blackwood’s had enough of the recap.

Gage Blackwood:
Aye, all cute little games by everyone involved.

Blackwood rolls his eyes and looks directly into the camera.

Gage Blackwood:
Except I don’t play games. I don’t drink shitty serum. I don’t wear a mask with glowing coloured eyes, because I am not a Power Ranger. I don’t have some benefactor telling me what I can and can’t do.

Blackwood leans closer into the camera lens, seemingly getting more pissed as he talks.

Gage Blackwood:
And I don’t have ulterior motives. There’s no hidden agenda with me. Aye, I come at you, inside the squared circle and I put you down.

The FIST turns back to Jamie Sawyers.

Gage Blackwood:
DEFIANCE used to be about wrestling. Now it’s about underground lairs, better futures, drunken bar owners, crybaby safe spacers and whatever-the-fuck that count thinks he is.

Sawyers tries to mouth the word “vampire” but stops midway and lets Blackwood go on.

Gage Blackwood:
Faithful, hold faith because at least your champion is a throwback. I put 499 days… DOWN. I put ‘The DEFIANT’, Oscar Burns… DOWN. People think some crazy maniac who thinks he’s more than he lets on and my psychotic “ex” wife are going to be the ones who finish me off? I randomly walked by Teresa in a hallway one year ago and that event turned into her STALKING me. Now she has her own stalker.

Sawyers looks like he understands Blackwood’s frustration.

Gage Blackwood:
Meet in the ring, Jason. If you can beat me there, [holds up FIST] I’ll give you this. If you can’t… jog the fuck on.

Jamie nods and smiles at the champion before he walks off.

Jamie Sawyers:
Thank you, Gage.

Scene fades.

DDK:
Coming up next on the card is the Lucky Sevens against the team of No Fun Dean and his wife, Slightly Fun Jen. Dean and Jen may be up the creek tonight because the Lucky Sevens have carved a path of destruction that started at Acts of DEFIANCE!

Lance:
After proclaiming themselves the “Main Event Monsters” of DEFIANCE, they have smashed through anyone put in their way. Rezin fell to Mason Luck on 161 and Max Luck defeated another trainee of the House, Kid Black Jack. The Lucky Sevens have said they won’t stop until they get a tag team match with former trainers and new BRAZEN coaches, the House. 

DDK:
Dena and Jen are going to have their work cut out for them! 

The lights go out as three numbers appear on the screen.

♫ “Money” by Of Mice and Men ♫

7 7 7

The lights come back on and the twins putting up “The Winning Hand” while wearing solid green capes! The Lucky Sevens quickly head on down to the ring and then shed them down. Ophelia Sykes stands by her men while Mason and Max get ready to put another hurt on someone. 

Darren Quimbey:
Ladies and gentlemen, the next match is a tag team match! Accompanied by Ophelia Sykes and weighing in at six-hundred and fifteen pounds they are Max and Mason Luck, … THE LUUUUCCCKKKYYYY SSSSSEEEEVVVVEEENNNSSS!!!!

Mason and Max Luck step on the apron and stare at one another, then they step over the ropes. Mason and Max hold up the Winning Hand and wait for the opponents. 

Darren Quimbey:
And coming out next weighing in at three-hundred eighty pounds! SLIGHTLY FUN JEN AND NOOOOO FFFFUUUNNNN DEEEEAAANNN!!!

No Fun Dean has his arms in the air while Slightly Fun Jen tries to garner more cheers for her husband. Dean and Jen both realize the trouble they are in but they still march to the ring getting cheers surely for at least being the underdogs of the match. Mason and Max don’t look concerned in the least in their corner when the couple make it to the ring. Dean and Jen come in and Dean wants to start the match for them and Max for his. The twin giants high five and Max gives one to Ophelia with the match starting. 

DING DING

Max starts off quick and tries to charge at No Fun Dean in the corner, but Dean moves out of the way. He hits nothing but the corner and then Dean tries to go after his arm. He yanks the arm on Max and then tags Slightly Fun Jen. Jen comes off the top rope with a drop kick to the chest of Max that stuns him. A quick tag right back out to No Fun Dean and he comes to the ring and uses a facelock on big Max. The DEFIANCE Wrestling Faithful are cheering on No Fun and Slightly Fun for the efforts!

DDK:
Max has No Fun Dean on his back trying to choke out Max! If there’s a way that they can win against the Sevens this might be it! 

But it isn’t to be for long because Max backs himself up into a corner to try and crush Dean. While Max is trying to get back to his feet Slightly Fun Jen tags herself in and then climbs the turnbuckle. She dives off and tries to use another drop kick and then Max gets knocked back. Mason tags Max then steps into the ring and then when Slightly Fun Jen gets up, she gets smacked back down by an angry Mason. 

Lance:
Jen and Dean tried quick tags, but Mason got an opening and now he’s in control. 

He stands over Slightly Fun Jen and looks down at the wife of No Fun Dean. He turns and delivers a cheap shot punch to Dean that lays him out on the apron! 

DDK:
Come on! This doesn’t need to happen! 

Lance:
The Lucky Sevens don’t care. They’ll bully anyone on this roster until they get what they want. 

The self proclaimed Main Event Monsters both stand over Jen. She gets put on the shoulder of Mason then dropped with a slam. Mason tags Max so he can enter the ring and drop a gut wrenching Box Cars Elbow on her! 

DDK:
These competitors understand the risks when they enter the ring, but this is uncalled for. 

Max tries pinning Slightly Fun Jen. 

One ....
Two …

But he pulls her up before three and the jeers rain down on the Sevens. 

Lance:
Max Luck did this to Kid Black Jack last week on Uncut! This is going to cost them if they keep it up. 

Max Luck reaches over and wraps an arm around Slightly Fun Jen’s waist. He tags Mason and then hits a release gut wrench drop, then Mason does the same. He picks her up and then hits another suplex forcing No Fun Dean to watch when he gets back up after being attacked earlier. He wants to get in and save his wife but Mason won’t let it happen. 

DDK:
These two could probably end this if they wanted. They don’t need to be doing any of this!

Mason turns around and then he tries to take another sucker punch on No Fun Dean but he expects it this time and then grabs his arm and snaps it on the rope! He yells to his wife and the DEFIANCE Wrestling Faithful cheer Slightly Fun Jen when he slips through the legs of Mason and leaps to make a tag to her husband!

DDK:
No Fun Dean is in! 

No Fun Dean has seen enough and sticks up for his wife with punches in bunches to the body and the head of Mason. Dean fires all the way up and goes after the bullying Mason Luck. He goes after the arm of him again and punches the arm while pulling it against the ropes but Mason pushes Dean away. He gets free from the corner but catches a chop block to the knee from No Fun Dean and then a DDT. 

Lance:
He has chopped down Mason Luck! Can a team called Barely Active Team pull off the huge upset. 

One …

Mason kicks out and looks even more angry than he did before. 

DDK:
I don’t know!

No Fun Dean hits more punches on Mason Luck and then tries to latch on a cross face chicken wing but Mason shows him how it’s done. He pushes him back to the ropes with Max hitting a knee from the apron. The shot sends him into Mason who grabs him by the face with the Winning Hand and then plummets him into the canvas with a Winning Hand Slam!

Lance:
There’s the Winning Hand Slam! 

Slightly Fun Jen tries to help her husband when Mason goes for a cover and drop kicks him in the face, but Max has stood by long enough. Max grabs her and pulls her out after Mason shakes off the drop kick. He gets up and then claws the face of No Fun Dean and then tags Max. Both brothers set up No Fun Dean and then drop him with No Luck at All! Max hooks a leg. 

One …
Two …
Three!!!

DING DING DING

♫ “Money” by Of Mice and Men ♫

Mason and Max make quick work but Slightly Fun Jen stands at ringside. Ophelia Sykes gets behind her and then throws her into the ring in the hands of Max, who hits a Winning Hand Slam to the shock of the crowd! 

DDK:
SYKES IS A WITCH!!! 

Lance:
This was already uncomfortable enough, but the Lucky Sevens attack Slightly Fun Jen! They haven’t spared anyone after giving themselves this new moniker of the Main Event Monsters. 

Tom Morrow comes out from the back and joins the Lucky Sevens in the ring.

Tom Morrow:
Cut the music! It’s time to talk business!  My specialty! 

The referee and a few additional medical personnel check on No Fun Dean and Slightly Fun Jen and Morrow gloats while they are helped up. 

Tom Morrow:
Big Money Max! Big Money Mason! These two aren’t just walking twin ATM’s! These two are five-star athletes giving you people five-star massacres that you people want to see! Rezin? Five star massacre! The Barely Matters Team in this ring? Five star massacre! Kid Black Jack? You guessed it! Five-star massacre! The Saturday Night Specials know all about when they got the SIX-star special at Acts of DEFIANCE and they haven’t had the courage to talk about it since!

Ophelia Sykes is also given her own microphone. 

Ophelia Sykes:
Mr. Morrow is right! But right now, they want a different match! They need to take care of the past before they look to the Better Future! With their permission, Lady Luck is commanding the House to come out here and give them the match they deserve! You know what it is! The Lucky Sevens aren’t your student any more! They are your masters and they know it! 

♫ “House of the Rising Sun” by Five Finger Death Punch ♫

Before another word is uttered the former trainers of the Lucky Sevens march out from the back in Brazen shirts and jeans. The bald-headed Derrick Huber and the skullet-rocking Adam Roebuck look more dressed for a fight than a wrestling match but they come out and the fans are cheering the long time wrestling veterans. 

DDK:
The House getting a nice reaction. Twenty year veterans of the sport who deserve far better than the treatment they have been getting from the Lucky Sevens. 

Tom Morrow:
Boys it’s about time you get out here. Now let’s talk ma … 

Derrick Huber:
One more fucking word from you Tom and I’m ending you. 

Morrow stops and the DEFIANCE Wrestling Faithful have popped major for that! 

Derrick Huber:
Ophelia, you aren’t Lady Luck and in fact, the only thing you are is a Lady of the Night. For the younger folks, that means “giant whore who is passed around the locker room like a joint!” 

An even louder round of cheering erupts! Ophelia doesn’t look happy. 

Derrick Huber:
The D, then some other people. Are you and Pat Cassidy still a thing? 

Mason and Max both look at Ophelia angrily who shrugs and says she has no idea what they’re talking about. 

Adam Roebuck:
The two of you are both seven feet tall, but you look like a couple of bitchy little boys from where I’m standing up here. We’ve heard you bitching and whining about a match with Derrick and I for two weeks now and we have an answer. Our answer is this … 

Derrick Huber looks at them. 

Derrick Huber:
Go fuck yourselves. 

The words sink in for the Lucky Sevens who look pissed they aren’t getting what they want. 

Derrick Huber:
We saw what you did on Uncut to Kid Black Jack and as much of an ass kicking you gave him, he’s a tough, tough kid and he’ll live to see another day. You got size, but you both clearly don’t have any heart and from what I saw, Kid Black Jack is more of a man than all of you in that ring! 

Derrick Huber looks at Adam. 

Adam Roebuck:
Here’s some tough love from us to you … we told you that the match with the Saturday Night Specials was our last hurrah. All this stuff about you being Main Event Monsters and all that stems from the fact that you lost at Acts of DEFIANCE. You going after us won’t do anything for you and those tag titles. You want to prove that you’re the baddest, toughest bunch of bastards? Be real men, earn another Unified tag title and go after the champs. Like real hard working wrestlers! 

Derrick Huber:
We’re done. 

The mics both get dropped on the Lucky Sevens! The House Tom Morrow is about ready to jump out of the ring and both Mason and Max look angry. 

DDK:
Wow … the House just gave them a verbal blistering from the House. They are good, but this bullying won’t make them the tag team champions. Huber is right, they should man up and go after the titles, not their trainers. 

Max looks like he wants to take a swing right now but Mason grabs his arm and whispers something at him then leave the ring with Morrow and Ophelia.

DDK:
What has happened with Dex Joy and the Scourge has just gotten incredibly intense in the last few months and to make matters a whole lot worse, now Nathan Eye has become casualty of the Scourge last week. On DEF TV 161, Nathan Eye was supposed to be in a match with Arthur Pleasant but instead, both Dex Joy and Nathan were attacked. 

Lance:
Nathan got his arm smashed by a crate and the prognosis after that is not good. We think Nathan Eye may be looking at a few months of recovery time and he’ll be out indefinitely. He’ll need surgery for his arm and possibly shoulder as well. 

DDK:
But Dex Joy did not rest. He was asked if he wanted tonight off but instead he demanded a member of the Scourge fight him tonight and that has fallen to Jack Harmen! Jack Harmen messed with Nathan Eye’s head for months and beat him at Acts of DEFIANCE but can he stop Dex tonight? 

Darren Quimbey:
This match is for one fall. Introducing first … weighing two-hundred-twenty-four pounds… from Los Angeles, California… The Lunatic… JACK HARMEN!!!

ALL ABOARD!!!

♫ “Idol” by Hollywood Undead feat Tech N9ne ♫

Jeer everywhere as the legend slowly walks out on stage surveying his surroundings. Jack Harmen sports his normal wrestling gear and a rather clever look on his face, like he knows he has this match in the bag. 

DDK:
Jack Harmen was almost the FIST of DEFIANCE Wrestling just a few weeks ago. He’s good enough to beat any one and if Dex is off his game because of what happened to Nathan, he’s going to have a hard time. 

Lance:
No doubt about that. 

Harmen approaches the apron and rolls inside the ring. He calmly rests at a turnbuckle and awaits his opponent. 

The lights in the arena start to flicker on and off before simulating a blackout. The lights go out. Fans reach out for their cell phones and try to light up the WrestlePlex. The lights slowly come back in the arena, section by section until, on the big screen a cell phone battery display charges… charges… charges… and soon it’s at 1000%. “BIG DEX ENERGY!!!!” is on the screen! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!! Five bright yellow lightning bolts strike the stage and fire off massive streams of pyro as the theme kicks in!

Darren Quimbey:
And introducing his opponent … he is from Los Angeles, California and weighs in at three-hundred fifty-five pounds… “THE BIGGEST BOY” DEEEEEXXXXXX JJJJJJOOOOYYYYYY!!!!!!

♫ “Go Big or Go Home” by Chuxx Morris ♫

Sparks shoot up from either side of the entrance where the lightning landed … but no Dex on the ramp. Jack looks at the ramp. 

DDK:
Oh no … this is exactly what happened with Nathan Eye … did the Scourge attack Dex again? 

Lance:
I don’t know. What is this? 

If Harmen does know something he doesn’t seem to be in on the joke. He keeps a lookout on the entrance from his corner … but then feels a pair of big hands drag him out of the ring! It’s Dex Joy wearing street clothes - Timberland boots, torn black jeans and a black wifebeater tank top. 

DDK:
It’s Dex! Dex Joy! And he’s not dressed for a match, he’s here to fight! 

Joy grabs Harmen by the leg and chucks him like a lawn dart right at the barricade!

Lance:
The Biggest Boy is here and he wants to punish Harmen! He attacks him with elbows against the rail! 

DDK:
I’m not for these kinds of tactics at all, but the Scourge quite frankly deserve everything they have coming including Arthur Pleasant!

Dex rams a few heavy elbow shots into the body of Jack Harmen and stun the wrestling veteran against the guard rail. He tries another swing, but Harmen kicks his knee and then throws a big punch at Dex before he can swing again and gets into the ring. Dex goes after him and when the referee checks on Harmen, he says he can go. He rings the bell!

DING DING

Harmen then turns the tables back on Dex with a drop kick to the side of his head when he tries to get back into the ring! Harmen stands up and now that he has Dex where he wants him he stomps on the big body of the Biggest Boy. 

DDK:
That was smart of Harmen whether I like it or not. Make Dex come to him. The match is officially on now and Harmen is wearing his boots out on him. 

Harmen then snaps a finger and reaches into his tights for something. Rather than a weapon … it’s a head band. The head band of Nathan Eye. 

Jack Harmen:
Hey thought you might want this back! Not like Natty’s around to wear that stupid thing! 

When the crowd realizes what it is and Dex does, too, he sees it and the DEFIANCE Wrestling Faithful let him have it with jeers. He gets up with a big burst of energy and tries to tackle Harmen, but the veteran stays one step ahead of Dex and goes back to the ring side floor. 

Lance:
More mind games! Nathan fell for these a couple of times at Acts of DEFIANCE! 

DDK:
I think he knows it and he’s going to mess with Dex however he can! 

Harmen stands outside, but when Dex climbs through the ropes, Harmen runs back inside the ring and then hits the ropes while Dex just climbs outside. He eats a leaping drop kick through the ropes and sends The Biggest Boy back some steps. Dex is hurt when Harmen grins. He goes to the ropes … 

SHOOTING STAR PLANCHA TO THE OUTSIDE!!!!

DDK:
Harmen just suckered him in again and takes Dex down with that shooting star plancha! 

Lance:
Dex had an early jump on Jack Harmen, but the Lunatic just turned it around! He’s playing with Dex’s emotions right now and this is a dangerous game but if there’s anyone that can, it’s him. 

Harmen takes a little bit to get up after such an insane move but he has wiped out Dex. The Biggest Boy tries to stand up and Harmen moves him to get the big ball of energy back inside. Harmen himself climbs the ropes the hits the Traveling Through Time cartwheel elbow drop from the ropes right on top of Dex! 

One …
Two …
No!!!

The Biggest Boy kicks out and surprises Harmen!

DDK:
Dex kicks out of the Traveling Through Time elbow drop! What does he have next? 

Harmen gets angry and stomps on the knee of Dex to keep the Biggest Boy from getting back up and doing some damage. He grabs Dex’s leg but the Biggest Boy kicks him away and gets up. Harmen turns around and gets doubled over with a heavy elbow shot to the gut! Dex grabs Harmen and then pitches him to the corner but Harmen continues taunting him. 

Jack Harmen:
It was fun listening to Eye cry like a bitch! 

He runs at Harmen with a splash in the corner in mind but Harmen moves and leaves Dex to hit nothing but the corner and follows up by running and hitting a leaping neck breaker from out of the corner. 

Lance:
Harmen suckering him in again with another trap!! Dex has been run ragged and Harmen has countered his moves at every turn. 

Harmen then goes to the top rope again and then comes off with the five and a half star frog splash across the chest of the Biggest Boy!

DDK:
Another big move by Harmen! This time that amazing frog splash! Dex is done!

One …
Two …
No!!!

Dex kicks out again and this time he shoves Harmen back! Harmen growls. 

Jack Harmen:
Oh, just stay down! Like Nathan did! 

He kicks Dex in the back in stiff fashion and keeps kicking, but Dex looks like Big Dex Energy is being replaced by unbridled rage. Harmen switches to punching him and hits Dex in the head, but he keeps coming back. The DEFIANCE Wrestling Faithful start to cheer Dex on as he stands up and then cracks Harmen in the mouth with a devastating elbow to the face, spins around with a back elbow and then finishes off the combo by using a big head butt to Harmen’s chest! ‘

DDK:
Harmen might be out cold! Dex just clobbered him with those elbows and that head butt! 

Lance:
Dex is on his knees again. Harmen has done a lot to him in the last couple of minutes. 

Dex looks at the DEFIANCE Wrestling Faithful and they are cheering him immensely for punishing a member of the Scourge. Jack is still reeling from Dex’s first combination of hits and then presses Harmen over his head!

DDK:
Look at Dex go! And then he plants Harmen with the press slam! 

Harmen lands with a splat on the canvas. Dex kicks Harmen over so he’s on his back and then Harmen gets splattered on the canvas a second time courtesy of a big senton splash by the Biggest Boy! The eyes of the Lunatic almost bulge out of his head. 

Lance:
Wow! That senton might have broken a rib or three! I think Harmen might be done after that! 

Harmen sits up and can barely breathe after that hit but Dex isn’t done yet. When Harmen is up Dex comes off the ropes for one last attack in the form of a low diving cross body to wipe Harmen out. 

DDK:
The diving senton gets followed up with that cross body by Dex! 

One …
Two …
No!!!

The shoulder of the DEFIANCE Wrestling vet rises like the dead and now Dex cannot believe it to be true. 

DDK:
Harmen kicks out now, but Dex might have him right where he wants him! 

Lance:
He’s up! 

Dex Joy grabs the neck of Harmen to get him back up and then throws him for the ropes. He waits for Harmen on the come back then lifts him up for the Dex Bomb, but Harmen is somehow able to leap over and land on his feet, coming to a stop near the ropes. Dex charges like the bull in a china shop, but Harmen acts like the china shop owner and protects himself. He hits a charging Dex with an uppercut an then uses the ropes near by to hit Sliced Bread #3!

DDK:
Incredible counter by Harmen! Sliced Bread #3 might do it!

One …
Two …
No!!!

Dex kicks out yet again from a big move by the Lunatic and Jack Harmen is in a state of shock! The DEFIANCE Wrestling Faithful have come unglued!

Lance:
Big Dex Energy is alive again! How does he keep doing this? 

DDK:
I don’t know, but Harmen isn’t done! He’s back in the corner and I think he’s going for the Locomotive! He beat Nathan Eye using the charging yakuza kick and Dex has taken enough damage that boot will do him in. 

He gets ready and stomps a foot on the mat with Dex being slow to get up. The Scourge’s second in command is thrilled and charges at Dex … but The Biggest Boy grabs him first and throws him high in the air

Lance:
What goes up … must come down WITH THE DEX DRIVE!!!

Jack Harmen gets thrown up high it in the air and then gets drilled with the Dex Drive! The twisting power slam puts Harmen down and Dex goes for a cover!

One …
Two …
Three!!!

♫ “Go Big or Go Home” by Chuxx Morris ♫

Dex Joy has the win despite all of Harmen’s tricks but doesn’t look any bit happier. 

Darren Quimbey:
Your winner is DEEEEEEEXXXXXX JJJJJJOOOOOOYYYYYYY!

DDK:
This win won’t bring Nathan Eye back off the injured list but it has to be a nice measure of revenge for Dex. 

Lance:
Harmen controlled so much of this bout by taunting Dex Joy and it worked for a while. He’s a veteran of this game and of DEFIANCE Wrestling that knows where to hurt you and how to hurt you but Dex fought through it. 

Harmen gets out of the ring to fight another day but his ribs will probably feel bad the next day. Dex Joy takes the microphone from Quimbey and has one quick message. His music goes quiet and he catches his breath before he gets ready to use it. 

Dex Joy:
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUURRR!!!

After the rough growl of Arthur Pleasant’s first name, he continues. 

Dex Joy:
No cute catch phrases! No Big Dex Energy! Just a warning! You’re looking at the Scourge of the Scourge!  Next time I get you or your other flunky Aaron King in this ring … IT’S!!! YOUR!!! ASSES!!!

Dex does not even turn around to celebrate this win after dropping the microphone. He gets out of the ring and goes through the crowd instead. He gets various pats on the back from the DEFIANCE Wrestling Faithful on his exit among the people. 

DDK:
What has Arthur Pleasant done? I haven’t seen Dex like this … ever. Eye has been attacked to get to Dex before but not to this degree. 

Lance:
I don’t know but I wouldn’t want to be any of them right now. 

The scene opens to a live interview session. Jamie Sawyers sits in a chair across from two empty seats, soon to be filled by Tyler Fuse and Princess Desire. Tyler enters, sporting a “HELLO MY DUCKIES” Jestal branded t-shirt and faded gray jeans while Princess Desire has black leggings and a navy blue dress top. Desire seems rather disinterested to be there while Tyler stoically finds his chair and eyes the interviewer.

Jamie Sawyers:
Thanks for being here, both of you. Tyler, let’s get right to it. A lot has been made about how important… or unimportant it was for you to call out Gage Blackwood two weeks ago. What is The Kabal’s role in all this?

Tyler doesn’t respond right away. Instead, he looks over to Desire, who remains just as disinterested as before and then the elder Fuse proceeds to answer the question.

Tyler Fuse:
I think it’s pretty simple to figure out, no? Jason ‘Stalker’ Reeves is going to be the one to lift the FIST from its most spirited champion…

Jamie tries to understand the answer, even though he doesn’t. Sawyers moves on anyway.

Jamie Sawyers:
Tyler, you talked of a prophecy. Care to elaborate?

Fuse smirks.

Tyler Fuse:
I heard Gage’s interview beforehand. He doesn’t play games. That’s cool, respect. Well Jamie, I play games. Literally. Or I used to anyway. My brother and I played a lot of video games.

Tyler leans forward and rests his arms on his legs, folding his hands in front of him.

Tyler Fuse:
Then I grew up and I don’t play those games anymore. I’ve found other games to play, if you will…

Fuse’s voice trails. Sawyers rumbles through his notes.

Jamie Sawyers:
Tyler, I’m not sure you answered my question.

The OG Player nods.

Tyler Fuse:
I’m aware.

There’s a long pause.

Tyler Fuse:
I want to tell you something, Jamie. A guy like Gage is easy to unravel. He doesn’t have the patience of a favoured saint, that’s for sure.

Fuse smirks again.

Tyler Fuse:
Some would say Gage has a short… fuse.

Desire recrosses her legs and looks elsewhere as her husband continues.

Tyler Fuse:
So am I just winding the guy up or is there something more to this?

Pause.

Tyler Fuse:
I tell you something else, Jamie. We’re a hot mess. The Kabal don’t know if they’re coming or going. Look at what happened to Rezin. Jason Reeves is supposed to be our leader and yet he’s taking direction from someone else. His daughter hides her identity, albeit poorly, almost like she wanted to get caught. Need I not even tell you how successful Scrow’s writing career was…

Desire finally pops a mild cackle under her breath.

Tyler Fuse:
Jason Reeves will become the next FIST of DEFIANCE. I promise you this is going to happen. And as for why I inserted myself, maybe one day you’ll find out. Otherwise…

Tyler snaps to The Princess. She nods and they both rise from their chairs.

Tyler Fuse:
I’ll be bowing out of this Blackwood vs. Stalker battle. It’s a real love story between Gage and Teresa, Stalker and the championship.

Tyler sarcastically reaches out to hold Desire’s hand like they can both feel the love between those parties.

Tyler Fuse:
My wife and I are off on the sidelines watching. And we aren’t just watching Gage. We are watching all the champions in DEFIANCE.

Desire walks off. Tyler’s got more to say.

Tyler Fuse:
Because I have a bone to pick with more than just our FIST of DEFIANCE.

Fuse exits view but can still be heard.

Tyler Fuse:
I have a bone to pick with everyone.

Fade.

BRAZEN - Where the next generation CLASH!

DDK:
Everyone, welcome back to the show. We were just getting ready for the main event here and received word there’s commotion backstage. Cameras are on the scene already and I’m being told it’s chaotic!

Switching backstage, the camera opens to a shattered fire extinguisher container, the glass was completely removed as well as the extinguisher itself. The fire suppressant chemicals are scattered along the wall as the cameras pan out down the hallway. Teresa Ames is the first person on screen as she is looking forward, screaming at the top of her lungs.

Teresa Ames:
KILL HIM! DESTROY HIM! SHOW HIM YOUR WORLD!!!

Attempting to get a good shot, the camera man struggles to see who’s fighting but as the lenses focus in through the chaos, we see a white shaded Gage Blackwood exchanging blows with a very angry Jason ‘Crimson Stalker’ Reeves!

Lance:
Are we starting the match in the back? Is this a new variation to Stalker’s Rules!?

DDK:
Looking at referee Mark Shields, I don’t believe this is intended, there is no movement from officials to join this fight backstage!

Stalker:
RAWRGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Teresa dives out of the collision course as Stalker whips Gage Blackwood into the cameraman!

SMASHHHHH!

The camera hits the ground with a thud as the lense cracks. Suddenly, the feed switches to security cameras overlooking the hallway. The view is not as good but, nonetheless, it catches the creepy and stoic approach of Jason Reeves as he methodically walks towards a dismantled and heavily breathing Gage Blackwood.

Lance:
HOLY SHIT! Stalker just shoved Teresa out of the way!

In an attempt to reel Jason in and get his focus back on heading to the ring, Teresa stands in front of Reeves but the Crimson Monster shoves her to the side without even a hint of regard for his owner and controller.

BANG! CRACK!!

Picking Gage up, Blackwood counters Jason’s grip and instead uses his power to BULLRUSH the Hardcore ICON through the wooden doors into the adjacent watercooler area!!

Teresa Ames:
I told you about getting AGGRESSIVE WITH ME!

Teresa stands up from being shoved in the corner and screams out in a child-like tantrum. Heavily slapping her hand on the nearby wall, Ames is desperately trying to get Jason Reeves’ attention to rile him up against the bull rush from Gage.

Teresa Ames:
Come on STALKY! You have a match to win! Drag his sorry ass out there in the ring and BEAT THE FIST right off him! END MY EX HUSBAND!

Stepping through the debris, Teresa manages to make her way into the break room just as a new camera crew shows up more readily prepared, two cameras on both sides of the action.

Chris Trutt:
Uhhhh…. What happened? I was just… just… trying….

The trembling words of DEFIANCE’s inept reporter Chris Trutt eek onto the screens as The Faithful let out a cheering and laughing reaction to the poor man’s haphazard look. Standing against counter tops, Trutt’s coffee is now completely gone from his cup and scattered against his pants in an awkward stain.

Gage Blackwood:
JOG ON YA BAW JUGGLER.

Crimson Stalker goes flying backwards into a camera shot as the FIST of DEFIANCE kicks him squarely into the chest out from the pantry/snack closet. Crimson Stalker groans in pain and frustration, his eyes gloss over with life. Teresa attempts to coax Jason up but Gage is there immediately to lift the Kabal’s Sword by his black wife-beater. DOUBLE UNDERHOOK SUPLEX THROUGH THE CARD TABLE!!!

Lance:
WOW! Folks we are back - and caught up here, this is insanity!!

DDK:
Insanity is one word for it Lance, I would say this is crossing the line. Crimson Stalker, from what I’m understanding, JUMPED Gage Blackwood backstage with that fire extinguisher!

Replays show the grainy footage from security cameras of the hallways in Wrestleplex as Gage Blackwood with the FIST strapped around his waist is attacked from behind by an angry and shaking Crimson Stalker!

Lance:
I’m surprised Gage is even conscious after that hit Darren! And they are still going at ten minutes later! This is nuts! I don’t think we are going to have a match tonight!

We switch back to live action as Crimson Stalker has rolled his way on top of Blackwood, hitting Gage in the face with repeated closed fists. Blackwood, however, continues to show no quit. He rolls through Stalker, pops to his feet and knee drills the spit right outta Stalker’s mouth. Reeves’ saliva goes right into the camera lens that was covering the brawl so the producers in the truck change feeds to the second camera. Blackwood snatches Stalker by his bald head and hurls the upcoming challenger across the hallway floor. Gage takes a mere second to look back at Ames with a finger point.

Gage Blackwood:
You rotten, haggard, half-bagged w-

Stalker is right back up and spears Blackwood to the floor.

DDK:
They are making their way to gorilla!

Blackwood and Stalker fumble across the floor and, eventually, into gorilla. One of the producers hops out of the way before Blackwood flips to his feet and hip tosses Crimson Stalker through a table… which is actually through two monitors that sit upright as well in a SICKENING move. The Faithful let out a cringeful cry, even if the person going through the objects is someone they don’t like.

Stalker rolls onto his stomach and is seemingly… laughing while making Blackwood uncomfortable. There are two solid lines marked across Reeves’ back from the monitors he hit the top of, breaking apart his skin as blood slowly seeps out. The FIST of DEFIANCE takes another quick glance at Ames… then he’s sucker punched in the stomach by Jason Reeves.

Stalker struggles to his feet. He grabs Blackwood by his kilt designed tights and hurls the champion into the entrance curtain and out onto the stage. Stalker screams and races through himself, straight into a hammer throw by Blackwood!

Stalker thumps on the mat but he’s right back up. Reeves drives a n elbow into Blackwood’s temple and then once again. He whips Blackwood down the ramp but Gage holds onto Jason’s arm as the two of them fumble down it. Blackwood goes for a clothesline but Stalker ducks and pushes Blackwood off the rampway. Gage crashes into the barrier!

DDK:
These two are going to end up killing each other, aren’t they?

Meanwhile, Teresa Ames is daintily walking down the ramp with a sadistic smile on her face. She stops mid-way and rubs her hands together in a coy nature and then proceeds to flip her hair around.

Stalker throws Blackwood into the ring apron and sprints in without a care… Gage drops down, hoists Stalker onto his shoulder and performs a crazy-looking spinebuster slam on the floor. Crimson Stalker, once again, cries out but it’s sounds of painful joy. Blackwood peels Reeves from the mat and receives a poke to the eyes for his troubles. Actually, it’s more like Reeves isn’t poking the eyes as much as he’s literally trying to rip Gage’s eyes out from its sockets.

Lance:
Stop me if I’ve seen this before…

Luckily, it doesn’t get to the “is it out!?” state and Blackwood rebounds by drilling a knee into Stalker’s stomach. Blackwood whips Stalker into a guardrail and comes racing in but Reeves grabs him in a modified exploder suplex and throws Blackwood into the crowd!

The Faithful gasp yet Blackwood pushes off them and flies right back over the rail with a clothesline to Stalker!

The two continue shot for shot until Reeves levels Blackwood with an elbow to the back of the FIST’s head.

DDK:
What an elbow… seems to have left its mark.

Lance:
Considering Blackwood was crushed with a fire extinguisher earlier, it makes all the sense in the world.

Stalker looks under the ring and pulls out a lead pipe.

CRACK.

Right over Blackwood’s head. The champion falls in a heap and Stalker eventually rolls The Noble Raider into the ring. Ames, on the other hand, is at the bottom of the apron giggling.

Teresa Ames:
My pet, place him in the ring. WE NEED A REFEREE!!

Although Mark Shields was backstage, no referee is present right now.

DDK:
I’m being told through my headset the title match is off. There’s no way the Favored Saints are going to allow either man in the state they’re in to wrestle…

Lance:
Rightfully so! Reeves’ back is blood red and Blackwood has to be concussed.

DEFSec makes their way down to the bewilderment of Teresa who shouts at them to stop. Obviously, none of them listen…

…but they listen to Jason ‘Stalker’ Reeves who tells them all to stay back or they will eat a lead pipe to the face. This buys Blackwood enough time to reach down from inside the ring and drag Stalker to the apron by his undershirt. Reeves tries to swat Blackwood away with the lead pipe but Blackwood avoids it and throws Reeves over the top rope into the apron. The lead pipe falls. Blackwood bounces off the ropes, attempting a Gaelic Storm-

Stalker moves. He lunges forward with his mouth gaping open as it’s the first thing to hit Blackwood.

DDK:
Is Reeves… biting Blackwood’s face off!?

Lance:
Disgusting! I believe he is!

Stalker digs his teeth into… well, whatever he’s found and Gage wildly screams before he can pull away. Blood pours down Blackwood’s trademark scar on his forehead as the champion’s eyes are erratic. Gage shakes his anger and runs towards Stalker, seeing red himself and unable to notice Stalker’s taken hold of the lead pipe again.

WHAM.

Blackwood’s immediately knocked unconscious! He falls to the mat without any added movement whatsoever.

DDK:
This is sickening!

DEFSec looks on, hoping to get in there but Stalker turns to acknowledge them so they don’t.

WHAM, another shot with the lead pipe.

WHAM.

DDK:
STOP IT, JASON!

Teresa Ames is the only one who approaches the apron. At first, her face shows concern… perhaps more for the fact she realizes the FIST will most certainly NOT be defended tonight.

But as Ames enters the ring gingerly, seeing Blackwood’s lifeless body below Crimson Stalker (who continues to hack and bite away at the FIST of DEFIANCE)... Teresa reasons with herself and gives off a nonchalant shrug. She’s okay with it.

Finally, DEFSec swarms the ring. Two of them ply the pipe from Stalker’s hands and three more pull The Kabal leader back. The final two DEFSec race towards Gage and scream for EMTs.

DDK:
Jesus Christ. What has Crimson Stalker done?

Lance:
I don’t know. This does not look good.

Reeves’ eyes are hollow. While DEFSec attempts to tell him what he’s done, there’s no one home to register the message.

Lance:
This does not look good at all…

The Faithful remain in a hushed state, showing concern and trying to replay the last five minutes in their heads. Teresa Ames slowly walks over to her “pet” and brushes a hand through her hair.

Teresa Ames: [towards Gage Blackwood]
Don’t fuck with me, dear. Ever, ever again.

Ames cackles. Stalker seethes. The DEFtv signature appears in the bottom right hand corner of the television screen.

And Gage Blackwood remains motionless.

THIS.

IS.

DEFIANCE.
