Amy Zing vs J.T. Hennessy
The CPW logo flashes across the screen as yet another edition of Pure Mayhem comes on the air.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following contest is set for one fall!!!
The crowd comes alive to the rhythmic thump of Tyga and Offset’s, “Taste” pouring from the PA System. A pulsing tide of crimson crashes on-stage, there, a cloud of steam forms -- billowing from the floor grates, concealing the entrance entirely.
“Slide on a pimp game with my pinky ring,
Lotta gang, lotta bitches, and a icy chain,
Why you claim that you rich?
That's a false claim,
I be straight to the whip, no baggage claim..”
Just when it was thought impossible, the reaction of the attendees intensifies once an iced out J.T. carves through the smoke and swaggers center stage. Trademark red cup in hand, he raises it high for them to exclaim while bobbing to the track. CPW cameras hone in on ‘The Trap King’, his ice although impressive, dims in comparison to the wide grin that has taken form and creased his beard.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, weighing in at 195 pounds and hailing from Jackson, Mississippi, this is J.T. HENNESY!!!
Following a more-than-generous sip taken from his cup, J.T. starts for the ring; hyping up the crowd he passes along the ramp with playful banter to further entice them. Meeting the foot of the ramp, he passes his cup to the first fan daring enough to reach for it, ascends the steps with a running high knee posture, trapezes the apron and thus crosses the braided threshold. After entrusting his stones with the Official, he makes one final attempt to rile the crowd by hoisting himself to the top of the nearest turnbuckle -- from which he takes in the praise of his adoring public and sticks a somersault back to the mat.
Bolt Thomas:
The Trap King has arrived!
Aaron Gurst:
Ugh, really? We have to put up with another one to disrespect Amy Zing?
Bolt Thomas:
How do you arrive at that conclusion?
Aaron Gurst:
She’s Amy, it’s what happens!
As a child you would wait
And watch from far away
But you always knew that you'd be the one
That work while they all play
"Warriors" by Imagine Dragons plays over the arena, the silhouette of a phoenix spreading its wings appears on the screens. It bursts into flames. The fire spells out the name "AMY ZING" across the screen. Amy Zing walks out of the entrance way and looks over the crowd.
She spreads her arms out like wings, pointing at the crowd and than brings them back to her, pointing her thumbs at herself. She lowers her arms and starts to walk past the fans.
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust.
Standing in front of the ring, Amy leaps up onto the apron and slingshots herself into the ring and walks to the corner. Amy pulls herself up to the turnbuckle, spreading her arms out to the sides, pointing to the crowd. and slowly brings them back to herself, pointing her thumbs at herself. She jumps off, turning in the air and landing on her feet, and waits for the match to begin.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his opponent, weighing in at 125 pounds, she hails from Hong King, People’s Republic of China by way of San Francisco, California, this is AMY ZING!
Bolt Thomas:
And now...
Aaron Gurst:
See, the blatant disrespect is already starting.
Bolt Thomas:
She just got in the damn ring!
Aaron Gurst:
And somebody should have held the ropes for her! Don’t you people know who that is? That’s Amy Zing and she deserves her respect!
The bell sounds and J.T. goes to lock-up. Amy ducks under and looks to swing around into a kick. J.T. blocks the kick and hits her with a clothesline that rocks her to the mat. J.T. goes for the cover.
One!
Two!
Amy kicks out!
Amy rolls him over into a cradle.
One!
Two!
J.T. kicks out!
Amy rolls over to the ropes and jumps up into a flying side kick. J.T. dodges the kick and looks to clothesline her again. Amy catches his arm and hooks up into a crucifix pin attempt.
One!
Two!
J.T. kicks out!
Bolt Thomas:
Both wrestlers going for the win at every turn!
Aaron Gurst:
He should know his damn place!
Bolt Thomas:
You can’t be serious?!!?
Aaron Gurst:
He should just bow to the inevitable and stop fighting!
Bolt Thomas:
That’s never going to happen!
Amy pops up to the ropes and goes for a springboard roundhouse kick. J.T. ducks the kick and catches her for a spinning spinebuster. He holds for the cover.
One!
Two!
Amy kicks out!
J.T. starts to try and take an armbar but Amy kicks him in the face from her back and rolls away to the ropes again. She slides out to the floor and walks away, shaking her head in disgust. As she reaches the corner, J.T. runs across the ring and executes a tope con hilo over the corner onto her, smashing her down into the barricade.
“HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!!”
Bolt Thomas:
J.T. just went for broke!
Aaron Gurst:
No!
Bolt Thomas:
Yes!
Aaron Gurst:
This is just wrong!
J.T. gets Amy up and rolls her back into the ring. He climbs up onto the apron and then slingshots himself into a leg drop. J.T. covers.
One!
Two!
THr-NO!
Amy kicks out!
J.T. starts back to the corner and starts to ascend when Gabriel Krown makes his way down the aisle. The referee goes to meet him and starts to direct him to go back to the back. Krown crosses his arms and the referee continues to scream at him to go back. With the referee’s back turned, Connor Murphy jumps the guardrail behind J.T. and climbs up onto the apron, shoving J.T. off the top rope. J.T. crashes to the mat. Connor climbs in and grabs J.T. for Murphy’s Law. Connor grabs Amy and puts her on top of J.T. just as Krown puts his hands up and turns to leave. Connor hurries from the ring and jumps back over the guardrail, disappearing itno the sea of humanity. .
“NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!”
The referee turns around and quickly moves into position.
“BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!!”
One!
Two!
Three!!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Highway robbery!
Aaron Gurst:
Justice!
Bolt Thomas:
They just robbed a man on his first night in the company, how is that justice in any way?
Aaron Gurst:
Amy Zing gets her just due!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Here is your winner, AMY ZING!!!
Disturbed/Nightmare vs Joe Summers/Mr. Natural
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is a TAG TEAM MATCH that is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Blue lights strobe around the arena as the opening riffs of "Elevation" hit the arena sound system. The fans rise to their feet in anticipation. Suddenly, the opening drums of "Nothing Left" pound the sound system as Joe Summers comes running out from the back. He stands at the top of the ramp, looking focused as ever. The fans cheer loudly and show their support as Joe runs back and forth across the top of the ramp, calling for them to get even louder. He then smirks and makes his way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans in the front row on his way. Joe slides into the ring and pops back up to his feet, soaking in the crowd reaction. He takes a deep breath and leans against the rope as he waits for the match to begin.
The torturred riff at the beginning of "Knee Deep" by CKY signals the arrival Mr. Natural looks around at the crowd, he balls up a single fist and raises it as the entire ring area fills with smoke. He lowers his fist and the smoke begins to dissipate. As the smoke begins to clear, Mr. Natural heads down the ramp way toward the ring.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, they are the team of JOE SUMMERS and MR. NATURAL!!!
Bolt Thomas:
These two have no reason that they shouldn’t be able to get along, and yet…
Aaron Gurst:
You have to wonder if they actually will be able to get along! Mr. Natural can set his sights on Joe at any moment…
Bolt Thomas:
And the Libertines are a scary, scary bunch.
Aaron Gurst:
Though, speaking of scary…
“Lords of War” hits the arena sound system as Disturbed appears at the top of the ramp. He glares down the ring at his opponents and slowly walks down the ramp.
Around the arena we watch as the lights dim as the opening verse of “Toxic Pretender” by Vanna begins to play around the arena. After 13 seconds we hear the line “YOU FUCKING DISGUST ME!!” erupt like a shotgun blast as the lights flash in dark hues purple as we see in the shadows Nightmare make his way onto the stage from behind the curtain. Walking to the far left side of the stage we see Nightmare stare out at the crowd from under the hood of his unzipped black hoodie. Walking back to the center of the stage Nightmare drops to his knees and lets in a deep breath as he places both arms behind his head before pulling himself back to his feet and makes his way down to the ring.
As Nightmare reaches the end of the entrance ramp and enters the ringside area we watch as he rolls under the bottom rope and makes his way to the far right corner of the ring. Standing on the 2nd turnbuckle Nightmare stretches his arms out wide as he keeps his head down before pulling them in to form an X under his chin. Lifting his head up Nightmare lets out a sick grin to the crowd before he fixates his gaze over at the announcers table. Hopping down off the turnbuckle we watch as Gavin takes his hoodie off and drops it to the floor before taking a seat in the same corner where he stood on. We watch as Nightmare runs his hands through his hair, pulling at it while he waits for the match to begin.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their opponents, they are...NIGHTMARE AND DISTURBED!!!
Bolt Thomas:
This is a dangerous team, no denying that!
Aaron Gurst:
And while they’ve all more or less got their own things going on...they all seem to want a shot at Joe, too!
Bolt Thomas:
Lucky him…
Joe Summers and Disturbed both step into the ring to get things started for their team as the referee calls for the bell and the match is officially underway! Almost immediately, Joe runs across the ring and blasts Disturbed in the face with a hard right hand. He follows it up with a second and then a third. Disturbed responds by hitting Joe with a throat thrust that sends him back into the ropes. Joe slingshots off of them and charges forward – hitting Disturbed with a massive clothesline that sends him stumbling back! Disturbed stays on his feet and chuckles! He pounds his chest and DARES Joe to give him another one. Joe responds by bouncing off of the ropes. Disturbed braces himself for impact. Joe suddenly stops himself short and hits Disturbed in the mouth with a superkick! The impact sends Disturbed staggering through the ropes and out onto the floor! He lands on his feet as Joe sprints across the ring and launches himself over the top ropes – sending both men hard to the floor with a plancha!
Bolt Thomas:
Would you look at that…?!
Aaron Gurst:
Joe doesn’t want Disturbed to think that he’s scared of him! I respect it! But, you have to wonder if getting Joe out onto the floor like that is a good idea…
Joe pulls himself back up to his feet. He tries to get the fans fired up before grabbing Disturbed and lifting him back up to his feet. He pounds away on Disturbed with a few more right hands. Joe then grabs Disturbed by the head and drags him over to the nearest set of stairs. He lines Disturbed up with them and prepares to drop him onto the stairs with a DDT! Suddenly, Disturbed shoves Joe away from him. Joe loses his balance, and Disturbed lifts him into the air. He SLAMS Joe’s back hard into the ring post! He does it a second time for good measure before dropping Joe down to the floor. Disturbed puts a foot on Joe’s back and raises a hand in the air to taunt him – the fans booing loudly.
Aaron Gurst:
See what I mean?
Disturbed then lifts Joe up to his feet. Joe stands there groggily as Disturbed powers Joe into the air and drops him onto the guard-rail face first! Joe stumbles around, but manages to roll back into the ring. Disturbed follows in close pursuit as he charges at Joe and nearly takes his head off with a big boot! Disturbed then goes for the cover and picks up the…
ONE!

Joe kicks out!

Disturbed staggers a few steps before trying to charge back at the champ – who responds by leaping into the air and hitting Joe with a dropkick! Disturbed staggers back to his corner from the impact as Nightmare tags himself into the match. Joe misses it and runs forward, hitting Disturbed with a jumping knee that sends him crashing to the mat! Unfortunately for him, Nightmare responds by springboarding into the ring and hitting Joe with a spinning wheel kick! He covers Joe for the…
ONE!
TWO!
THR---NO!
Bolt Thomas:
Joe was beginning to build a bit of momentum, but…
Aaron Gurst:
Wrong guy!
Nightmare lines himself up with Joe as he starts to pull himself back up to his feet. Once Joe is almost up, Nightmare tries to send him back to the mat with Magnetic Knives! Joe steps out of the way at the last possible second! He grabs hold of Nightmare from behind and tries to get him into position for a Dragon Suplex, though Nightmare spins out of Joe’s grasp! He hits Joe in the mouth with an elbow smash, and then a spinning backfist! Joe drops down to a knee as Nightmare bounces off of the ropes and tries for a shining wizard! Joe ducks underneath the attempt and Nightmare crashes to the mat! Joe grabs hold of him from behind and tries to snap off The End of Summer! Nightmare escapes Joe’s grasp and rolls him up for the…
ONE!
TWO!
THR---NO!
Both wrestlers pop back up to their feet! Nightmare charges at Joe and tries to deliver a Driver’s Side Impact – though Joe responds by running forward and BLASTING Nightmare in the mouth with a forearm smash! Nightmare nearly loses his balance as Joe grabs hold of him and snaps off an Asai DDT! He hooks the leg and goes for the cover, picking up the…
ONE!
TWO!
THRE----NO!
Bolt Thomas:
Oh, that was close!
Aaron Gurst:
Might’ve been what Joe needed to get out of this one, though!
Sure enough, Joe staggers over to his corner of the ring. He tags Mr. Natural into the match. The two men lock eyes for a moment before Mr. Natural smirks and gives Joe a quick wink. Nightmare tries to interfere in the moment by charging at the two of them. Mr. Natural ducks out of the way and causes Nightmare to crash into the turnbuckle. Nightmare tries to regain his balance – but can’t before Mr. Natural snaps off a flatliner! He hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Nightmare kicks out!
Mr. Natural grabs hold of Nightmare and drags him back up to his feet. He hits Nightmare with a chop to the chest, and then a second, and then a third. Nightmare tries to fight back, but Mr. Natural blocks the attempt. He then grabs hold of Nightmare and hoists him into the air for a brainbuster! Mr. Natural hooks the leg and goes for the cover, picking up the…
ONE!
TWO!
TH—Disturbed breaks up the attempt!
Bolt Thomas:
Well, that isn’t good news for Mr. Natural…
Aaron Gurst:
Disturbed looks MAD!
Sure enough, Disturbed grabs hold of Mr. Natural and hits him with a clubbing blow. He knocks Mr. Natural back against the nearest turnbuckle and comes charging in, crushing him with a big splash! Mr. Natural staggers out of the corner and rolls onto the apron. Disturbed lines himself up with Mr. Natural as Nightmare pulls himself back up to his feet. Joe runs into the ring to help his partner, but Nightmare cuts him off with a Driver’s Side Impact! The referee tries to get control of the situation as Nightmare and Disturbed both look at one another. Disturbed runs forward, but gets hit with an elbow smash from Mr. Natural! This, unfortunately, just gives Nightmare the opening he needs to send Mr. Natural out to the floor! Nightmare then dives through the ropes and sends both men crashing hard to the floor with a suicide dive!
Bolt Thomas:
This referee is going to have to figure something out…
Aaron Gurst:
Does he?!
Disturbed regains his sense of where he’s at and glares out at the two men on the floor. He goes to exit the ring, when suddenly, Joe Summers comes charging at him and sends both men flying over the time with a big clothesline! They crash hard to the floor, but nonetheless pull themselves back up to their feet. Disturbed responds by charging at Joe and tackling him through the guard rail! The fans are on their feet as the referee glances out at the wreckage. Joe and Disturbed slowly start to stir and continue to battle their way through the crowd, much the delight of the fans in attendance.
Bolt Thomas:
Someone’s going to have to get control of them!
Meanwhile, Nightmare lifts Mr. Natural up to his feet. He bounces his head off of the ring apron and then grabs hold of him, trying to set Mr. Natural up for The End of Heartache! Natural escapes Nightmare and then shoves his ribs into the ring apron! Nightmare doubles over in pain as the lights begin to flicker. Mr. Natural throws up a set of devil horns behind his head as the lights cut out completely.
Bolt Thomas:
I don’t even know what’s going on anymore…
The crowd begins to buzz with excitement as there are brief flickers from the lights, but not enough to illuminate what’s going on in the ring. Suddenly, the lights come back on and Nightmare is on the mat with Mr. Natural on top of him, leg hooked for the pin attempt. The referee looks around in confusion before counting the…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winner of this match...MR. NATURAL!!!
Bolt Thomas:
The chaos magician always has a few tricks up his sleeve…
Aaron Gurst:
Seems appropriate for the kind of night we’re having, doesn’t it?!
Boom!
The warm summer night in Brooklyn has been off to a good start, but little does anyone realize just how much better the night is about to become. The camera pans across the arena and stops as suddenly the lights go out. The intensity of the moment grows as the lights remain off. Without warning, a spotlight shines on the entrance ramp.
*BOOM BOOM*
The light starts as white.
*BOOM BOOM*
Then shifts to yellow.
*BOOM BOOM*
Then to red.
*BOOM BOOM*
Then to blue.
*BOOM BOOM*
And then finally to green. It flickers several times and finally goes out. A lone pyro shoots off, but oddly it goes towards the ring. As it reaches the ring, it dims out, but a glimpse of someone standing in the ring is seen. The lights slowly come back on to a hooded figure standing in the ring with a mic in hand.
"For years I loomed in the shadows. For years I made my presence known. For years I made impact after impact after impact."
The hooded figure walked around the ring as if it was in their second nature, like it was their home. They seemed to exude confidence with every step they took.
"For years nobody thought of me as their equal. For years everybody avoided me. For years nobody would even mutter my name for whatever reason."
The hood shifted up a bit and you could catch a glimpse of both black and gray facial hair, seemingly a goatee or a beard. Not enough of a shift to fully tell.
"For years I stayed away. For years I contemplated my actions and thought of new ones. For years of planning, it's all culminated into this...very...moment."
The hood gets pulled back down briefly as they pace in the ring.
"A fire was lit under my ass. Some could say it's unfinished business. Some could say it's attempting another opportunity that may bear fruit. Some could even say that it's a reckoning."
They stop in the center of the ring. A hand reaches up to the hood...fingers grasp the edge.
"But little does anyone know what this truly is. What this is...it's just another impact that's been in anticipation for a long, long time. The problem is...you all are too blind to see it."
BUT HE CANNOT SEE...
In that moment, the hood comes off. A beard of both gray and black hairs stand out followed by a head of short black hair with a tint of gray alongside his ears. A face nobody has seen in nearly ten years. A bit older in appearance...a bit wiser too. A snake has charmed his way into the arena, rattling around and finally setting foot in a CPW ring after so long.
"The Snake is back."
Rattlesnake takes a deep breath. How long has it really been? His absence was felt. The empty void in his heart seemed to start filling back up. It was a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time.
Rattlesnake: So you may be asking just why it is that I'm standing here now. Was it for nostalgia? Did I just happen to miss those in the back? Did I just feel like coming back and knocking around a few of those that made my life a living hell? I'll save you the trouble of trying to figure that out. Yes. Yes. And yes. You see...part of me has some unfinished business. Once upon a time, I was the Xtreme Chaos Champion for a few months and well...part of me can't deal with the fact that it was only for a few months. Once upon a time I dreamed of a revolution that would shake this place down to it's very foundation. Once upon a time, I was regarded as one of the best. But times do change...and sometimes things stay the same.
Rattlesnake paces around the ring again. He breathes in deep, reminisicing about the old days and thinking to himself how things do change over time and that he simply cannot live in the past.
Rattlesnake: But rest assured...if I do decide to don those familiar boots. If I do decide to wield that baseball bat. If I do decide to walk down that ramp again and again and again. If I do decide to do all of that, I will have one thing on my mind. I'm not going to live in the past, thinking about the glory days of yesteryear. I'm going to focus on the here and now. I'm going to focus on what I once lost and I'm going to focus on reclaiming it once again. Now I don't know who prides themself on being at the top, but don't worry as I'm sure you have others to focus on and that's fine. I'm just stressing to anybody else that well...in the last few minutes that I've been standing here, drinking all of this in, getting that itch...well you may just have someone else to contend with and I can promise you that I won't make things easy.
That itch really began to shift into high gear.
Rattlesnake: I walked through those doors 17 years ago. It was a journey with ups and downs. I saw the best and I saw the worst. I faced the best and I faced the worst. I beat the best and I beat the worst. So maybe on top of a dose of nostalgia, it could be to prove a point. Maybe I still have the magic I had all those years ago. Maybe, just maybe I can show off a thing or two. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But they never said an old dog can show you a new one.
Show a new trick? The only way to show off a new trick is to do the one thing and he knew exactly what that was.
Rattlesnake: You know what? Fuck it. I shouldn't have to decide to come back. I just have to do it. So why the hell not? I'm sure there are a couple of people in the back itching for a returning veteran after all. Let's just see who all is up for it.
Rattlesnake gives off his trademark smirk. You can clearly hear a short laugh. He takes a deep breath.
Rattlesnake: I'm back bitches. Come and get me.
Rattlesnake drops the mic in the ring and leaves through the ropes. He slowly makes his way back up the ramp. He stops for a second and turns around, taking in the scenery. Maybe this time will yield better results...maybe. He continues up the ramp and leaves the stage.
Samantha Ryan vs Denni Summers
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Bolt Thomas:
I guess this is...technically Samantha’s debut, though we’ve been seeing quite a bit of her lately…
Aaron Gurst:
I’ve been talking to Ashley Sweeney about her, and let me tell you, Dolty...we’ve got a lot to look forward to with this one!
"Open Your Eyes" fills the arena, the lighting darkening as a flashing strobe effect picks up. Denni Summers steps out into the entryway, a smirk on her face. She takes a cocky little bow, smiling at the positive crowd reaction before heading down toward the ring. On the way down, she slaps hands with a few fans as she passes, clapping a bit to get them cheering louder. She climbs into the ring upon reaching it, heading to the center, and gives her hips a shake to rile up the crowd even more. Grinning at the cheering from the crowd, she gives her ass a slap, then heads to her corner, leaning against it as she waits for the match to begin.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, from Denver, Colorado, she is...DENNI SUMMERS!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Well, we can say a whole lot about who Denni Summers is today, but...she’s got a lot of experience in the ring!
Aaron Gurst:
She does, and I’d never take that away from her! Samantha’s going to need to be at the top of her game if she’s going to win this one!
The arena goes dark as blue and white lights begin to strobe. The pulsing sound of Annihilation's beat fills the air as the fans begin to give a rather mixed response. Instead of Ashley Sweeney, Samantha Ryan appears at the top of the ramp.
Come and bring your body to me
I crave annihilation
When the beat picks up, Samantha slowly makes her way down to the ring. The entire time, she's mouthing off at Denni in the ring, causing Denni to roll her eyes in annoyance.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And her opponent, from Seattle, Washington...she is, SAMANTHA RYAN!!!
Aaron Gurst:
For starter’s, I was told this poor girl wasn’t even given a chance to pick her own entrance music yet! Can you believe that horrible mistreatment of this future star?!
Bolt Thomas:
Well, she sure seems to think she’s something special, judging by the way she’s carrying herself…
Aaron Gurst:
That’s because she is!
Once Samantha reaches the ring, she says a few more words to Denni. Denni rolls her eyes in response, as Samantha leans against the ropes and continues to receive a rather mixed response from the fans. The referee looks at the two of them to make sure they’re ready before calling for the bell, the match now officially underway. Denni steps toward the center of the ring and focuses on the upcoming match. Samantha continues to lean against the ropes while enjoying the moment – stopping only when Denni gets in her face and hits her with a hard forearm smash! Denni follows it up with a second as Samantha stumbles around the ring from the impact. Denni grabs hold of Samantha and shoots her across the ring. When she comes back on the rebound, Denni lifts Samantha into the air and delivers a hip toss! Samantha hits the mat hard as Denni bounces off of the ropes and tries to land on Samantha with a senton – only to have Samantha roll out of the way at the last possible second! Denni hits the mat hard as Samantha looks at the referee and tries to plead her case that the entire beginning of the match was unfair – with the referee not buying it for a second.
Bolt Thomas:
Well, this probably isn’t the kind of start that Samantha wanted…
Aaron Gurst:
She’s just baiting Denni in, Dolty! She’s letting her think she stands a chance! It’ll be fine, don’t you worry…
Despite that, Denni reaches her feet and immediately tries to close the gap between the two wrestlers once again. She hits Samantha with a hard chop and then tries to grab hold of her. Samantha immediately shoves Denni away from her! Denni stumbles and turns to face Samantha – who steps forward and hits Denni with an elbow smash! Denni nearly hits the mat but remains upright. Samantha smirks and runs at Denni to hit her with a big clothesline! Denni crashes to the mat as Samantha grabs her by the hair. She slams the back of Denni’s head into the mat repeatedly before spinning Denni around and trying to lock her into a sleeper! Denni’s eyes go wide as she quickly shifts her positioning so that her feet are under the bottom rope. The referee calls for Samantha to break the hold, as Samantha briefly goes to argue and ask why – only later noticing that she had Denni out of position.
Bolt Thomas:
Samantha knew what she needed to do, and she’s hit Denni hard when she’s managed to hit her!
Aaron Gurst:
She also knows that she needs to make Denni tap if she wants to win!
Bolt Thomas:
But she also looks like she lacks some of the natural ring awareness that Denni has, and you have to think that might hurt her a bit as this match continues!
Samantha mumbles angrily to herself before taking a deep breath. She brings Denni back up to her feet and hits her with a forearm smash to the face that sends Denni staggering. Samantha pulls Denni in and hits her with a second for good measure. Denni stumbles back to the nearest turnbuckle and leans against it. Samantha comes charging in just a moment later and throws her hip into Denni’s ribs! Denni stumbles out of the corner in pain as she tries to catch her breath! Samantha grabs Denni by the hair and slams her down to the mat once again! She drops down and confidently hooks the leg as she picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Denni kicks out!
Samantha drags Denni up to her feet. She shakes her head and lifts Denni into the air, slamming her back down to the mat with a basic body slam! She then drops an elbow onto her and casually covers Denni while flipping her hair back, the referee counting the…
ONE!
TWO!
T---Denni kicks out again!
Bolt Thomas:
It looks a bit like Samantha is starting to feel herself in this one!
Aaron Gurst:
She knows she’s in the middle of a star making performance, and she’s going to enjoy every second of it!
Samantha grabs hold of Denni’s head and tries to get her into position for a side headlock, though Denni shifts her positioning in such a way to avoid getting locked in the hold. She backs away from Samantha and uses the ropes to reach her feet more quickly. Once she’s standing, Samantha once again tries to close the gap between the two of them – only to have Denni trip her up with a drop-toe-hold! Samantha leans on the bottom rope and tries to catch her breath as Denni bounces off of the ropes and leaps into the air – using her weight to crush Samantha against the bottom rope! Samantha tries to catch her breath and rolls around as Denni lines herself up with Samantha! She leaps into the air and sends Samantha crashing to the mat with a fame-asser! Denni the hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
TH---NO!
Bolt Thomas:
I’m actually surprised that Samantha kicked out of that one! This is the first time she’s facing real adversity…
Denni calls for the fans to show their support and gives her hips a quick shake! She then bounces off of the ropes and tries to line Samantha up for a Taste of Perfection – only to have Samantha cut her off with a BIG back body drop! Denni crashes to the mat with a hard thud as Samantha turns around and immediately grabs hold of Denni. She hits her with a few clubbing blows to the head as Denni collapses to the mat. Samantha briefly grabs hold of Denni and looks like she’s going to set her up for a crossface face before stopping. She turns to the crowd and gives her hips a shake – drawing quite a few cheers and boos in the process. She then lines herself up with Denni and tries to hit Denni with her own Taste of Perfection! Just before she can connect, Denni ducks out of the way – though she remains on the mat as if she’s taken too much of a beating to get up.
Bolt Thomas:
Denni dodged a killshot from Samantha that, quite frankly...would’ve been a bit uncalled for…
Aaron Gurst:
Do you see how much damage Samantha has already done to her, though? This is over!
Samantha looks down at Denni and shakes her head. She gives her hips one more shake to mock her opponent before grabbing hold of Denni and deliberately setting her up for a crossface! Just before she can actually lock the hold in, Denni suddenly shifts her weight and rolls Samantha up, picking up the…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winner of this match...DENNI SUMMERS!!!
Aaron Gurst:
No way!
Bolt Thomas:
Denni just put that ring awareness to good use! Good for her!
Denni pops back up to her feet as the referee raises her hand in victory! She smiles and gives the fans a show as she walks around the ring – enjoying the fact that she just proved how much smarter she is than Samantha! Samantha leans against the ropes and watches Denni celebrate her victory.
Bolt Thomas:
To her credit...Samantha was productive! She showed that she’s got a lot of potential! But she wasn’t focused, and…
Before Bolt can finish his statement, Samantha runs at Denni and blasts her in the back of the head with a clothesline! Denni collapses to the mat as Samantha grabs hold of her and locks in a crossface! Denni begins to tap on the mat frantically while screaming at the top of her lungs.
Denni Summers:
I quit! I quit! I QUIT!!!
Denni pounds on the mat and cries hysterically as the referee pulls Samantha off of her. Samantha takes a deep breath and tries to compose herself before standing up and smiling. She slowly exits the ring and makes her way to the back.
Murder City Angels vs. Marissa Miretti/Martina Masseria
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following contest is a tag team match and it is set for one fall!!!
The lights dim amidst the swirling organ opening of Faith No More's "Be Aggressive." As the song kicks into its rollicking groove, M & M, Martina Masseria and Marissa Miretti, slowly make their way out to the entranceway. They stand still, wearing matching black hooded jackets with the hoods up, Martina's hands in her pockets while Marissa's remain by her sides. They survey the crowd for a few moments, taking in the crowd's less than happy to see them reaction and enjoying every second of it. Finally, they reach up and toss their hoods off, Martina shaking her head in disgust, Marissa just shrugging before making their way down to the ring. The two trot up the steps, unzipping their jackets as they go, and then enter the ring beneath the second rope. They each climb up onto opposite corners, spreading their arms out wide as the crowd does their best to make them feel unwelcome. They glare out at them, Martina yelling and gesturing as if daring for them to come at her themselves while Marissa stands there looking both disgusted and amused. Still getting the same reaction, they grin back at each other, shrugging and waving the crowd off as they hop back down and remove their jackets, dropping them to the outside, coming together and leaning back in their corner.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, team number one, originally from Brooklyn, New York and now wrestling out of Chicago, Illinois!, the team of Marissa Miretti and Martina Massera!!!
Bolt Thomas:
They’re really not getting the hometown reception, are they?
Aaron Gurst:
No...
Bolt Thomas:
Do you think they expected one?
Aaron Gurst:
I… don’t know?
The lights go out and Ugly Kid Joe’s cover of “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone” starts. As the bass thumps along, slowly the silhouette of a young woman moves across the entrance screen, followed by a second and a then a third. At the 0.44 mark, a fourth starts across waving her hands. At 0.59 mark, a drum beat shows them break into the Charlie’s Angels’ Pose. The curtain falls and Reby Starr leads the Murder City Angels, Aurora and Live Wire, through the entryway, all three wearing matching motorcycle kuttes with a blue Red Wings logo on the back of it. They make their way down the aisle, Reby seemingly dancing as she walks with her friends behind her. Aurora looks straight at the ring, smiling yet serious while Live Wire raises her arms, her steely glare following their front woman to the ring. The Murder City Angels reach the ringside area and slip inside, Reby bouncing up and then sliding in backwards under the bottom rope, striking a split and then slowly pulling herself up to her feet to make sure everybody sees the show. Aurora and Live Wire move to opposite ends of the ring and then Reby give the signal. The other two pull themselves up and ascends their respective corner with Reby pointing at them both, nodding her head excitedly. As they slip down to the mat, Reby walks to Nathan and requests the microphone which he is only too happy to hand over. She smiles, kisses him on the cheek and then walks out to the middle of the ring, Aurora and Live Wire flanking her on either side.
Reby Starr:
Ladies and gentlemen...
She pauses as the crowd starts to sing along and smirks, nodding along.
Reby Starr:
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Reby Starr and…
Before she can get another word out, Marisaa nd Martina attack from behind, a heretofore unseen Mercy DiRocco joining them in the assault with Mercy wielding a chair. As they continue to hammer away on them, Slingshot Red and Avery Wright run down with chairs of their own. As they hit the ring, M & M bail out of the ring
Bolt Thomas:
This is heinous!
Aaron Gurst:
Yes, how DARE they interrupt a glorious bit of violence!
Bolt Thomas:
A...
Aaron Gurst:
You heard me!
Red and Avery invite them back but Marissa and Mercy hold Martina back and smirk cruelly as the Angels get back to their feet and glare out at them.
Chico Delgado vs. Francisco Lopez
R
The CPW logo then flashes across the screen as the show comes to an end.
The CPW logo flashes across the screen as yet another edition of Pure Mayhem comes on the air.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following contest is set for one fall!!!
The crowd comes alive to the rhythmic thump of Tyga and Offset’s, “Taste” pouring from the PA System. A pulsing tide of crimson crashes on-stage, there, a cloud of steam forms -- billowing from the floor grates, concealing the entrance entirely.
“Slide on a pimp game with my pinky ring,
Lotta gang, lotta bitches, and a icy chain,
Why you claim that you rich?
That's a false claim,
I be straight to the whip, no baggage claim..”
Just when it was thought impossible, the reaction of the attendees intensifies once an iced out J.T. carves through the smoke and swaggers center stage. Trademark red cup in hand, he raises it high for them to exclaim while bobbing to the track. CPW cameras hone in on ‘The Trap King’, his ice although impressive, dims in comparison to the wide grin that has taken form and creased his beard.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, weighing in at 195 pounds and hailing from Jackson, Mississippi, this is J.T. HENNESY!!!
Following a more-than-generous sip taken from his cup, J.T. starts for the ring; hyping up the crowd he passes along the ramp with playful banter to further entice them. Meeting the foot of the ramp, he passes his cup to the first fan daring enough to reach for it, ascends the steps with a running high knee posture, trapezes the apron and thus crosses the braided threshold. After entrusting his stones with the Official, he makes one final attempt to rile the crowd by hoisting himself to the top of the nearest turnbuckle -- from which he takes in the praise of his adoring public and sticks a somersault back to the mat.
Bolt Thomas:
The Trap King has arrived!
Aaron Gurst:
Ugh, really? We have to put up with another one to disrespect Amy Zing?
Bolt Thomas:
How do you arrive at that conclusion?
Aaron Gurst:
She’s Amy, it’s what happens!
As a child you would wait
And watch from far away
But you always knew that you'd be the one
That work while they all play
"Warriors" by Imagine Dragons plays over the arena, the silhouette of a phoenix spreading its wings appears on the screens. It bursts into flames. The fire spells out the name "AMY ZING" across the screen. Amy Zing walks out of the entrance way and looks over the crowd.
She spreads her arms out like wings, pointing at the crowd and than brings them back to her, pointing her thumbs at herself. She lowers her arms and starts to walk past the fans.
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust.
Standing in front of the ring, Amy leaps up onto the apron and slingshots herself into the ring and walks to the corner. Amy pulls herself up to the turnbuckle, spreading her arms out to the sides, pointing to the crowd. and slowly brings them back to herself, pointing her thumbs at herself. She jumps off, turning in the air and landing on her feet, and waits for the match to begin.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And his opponent, weighing in at 125 pounds, she hails from Hong King, People’s Republic of China by way of San Francisco, California, this is AMY ZING!
Bolt Thomas:
And now...
Aaron Gurst:
See, the blatant disrespect is already starting.
Bolt Thomas:
She just got in the damn ring!
Aaron Gurst:
And somebody should have held the ropes for her! Don’t you people know who that is? That’s Amy Zing and she deserves her respect!
The bell sounds and J.T. goes to lock-up. Amy ducks under and looks to swing around into a kick. J.T. blocks the kick and hits her with a clothesline that rocks her to the mat. J.T. goes for the cover.
One!
Two!
Amy kicks out!
Amy rolls him over into a cradle.
One!
Two!
J.T. kicks out!
Amy rolls over to the ropes and jumps up into a flying side kick. J.T. dodges the kick and looks to clothesline her again. Amy catches his arm and hooks up into a crucifix pin attempt.
One!
Two!
J.T. kicks out!
Bolt Thomas:
Both wrestlers going for the win at every turn!
Aaron Gurst:
He should know his damn place!
Bolt Thomas:
You can’t be serious?!!?
Aaron Gurst:
He should just bow to the inevitable and stop fighting!
Bolt Thomas:
That’s never going to happen!
Amy pops up to the ropes and goes for a springboard roundhouse kick. J.T. ducks the kick and catches her for a spinning spinebuster. He holds for the cover.
One!
Two!
Amy kicks out!
J.T. starts to try and take an armbar but Amy kicks him in the face from her back and rolls away to the ropes again. She slides out to the floor and walks away, shaking her head in disgust. As she reaches the corner, J.T. runs across the ring and executes a tope con hilo over the corner onto her, smashing her down into the barricade.
“HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!!”
Bolt Thomas:
J.T. just went for broke!
Aaron Gurst:
No!
Bolt Thomas:
Yes!
Aaron Gurst:
This is just wrong!
J.T. gets Amy up and rolls her back into the ring. He climbs up onto the apron and then slingshots himself into a leg drop. J.T. covers.
One!
Two!
THr-NO!
Amy kicks out!
J.T. starts back to the corner and starts to ascend when Gabriel Krown makes his way down the aisle. The referee goes to meet him and starts to direct him to go back to the back. Krown crosses his arms and the referee continues to scream at him to go back. With the referee’s back turned, Connor Murphy jumps the guardrail behind J.T. and climbs up onto the apron, shoving J.T. off the top rope. J.T. crashes to the mat. Connor climbs in and grabs J.T. for Murphy’s Law. Connor grabs Amy and puts her on top of J.T. just as Krown puts his hands up and turns to leave. Connor hurries from the ring and jumps back over the guardrail, disappearing itno the sea of humanity. .
“NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!”
The referee turns around and quickly moves into position.
“BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!! BUUUULLL-SHIT!!!”
One!
Two!
Three!!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Highway robbery!
Aaron Gurst:
Justice!
Bolt Thomas:
They just robbed a man on his first night in the company, how is that justice in any way?
Aaron Gurst:
Amy Zing gets her just due!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Here is your winner, AMY ZING!!!
Disturbed/Nightmare vs Joe Summers/Mr. Natural
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following is a TAG TEAM MATCH that is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Blue lights strobe around the arena as the opening riffs of "Elevation" hit the arena sound system. The fans rise to their feet in anticipation. Suddenly, the opening drums of "Nothing Left" pound the sound system as Joe Summers comes running out from the back. He stands at the top of the ramp, looking focused as ever. The fans cheer loudly and show their support as Joe runs back and forth across the top of the ramp, calling for them to get even louder. He then smirks and makes his way down to the ring, slapping hands with the fans in the front row on his way. Joe slides into the ring and pops back up to his feet, soaking in the crowd reaction. He takes a deep breath and leans against the rope as he waits for the match to begin.
The torturred riff at the beginning of "Knee Deep" by CKY signals the arrival Mr. Natural looks around at the crowd, he balls up a single fist and raises it as the entire ring area fills with smoke. He lowers his fist and the smoke begins to dissipate. As the smoke begins to clear, Mr. Natural heads down the ramp way toward the ring.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, they are the team of JOE SUMMERS and MR. NATURAL!!!
Bolt Thomas:
These two have no reason that they shouldn’t be able to get along, and yet…
Aaron Gurst:
You have to wonder if they actually will be able to get along! Mr. Natural can set his sights on Joe at any moment…
Bolt Thomas:
And the Libertines are a scary, scary bunch.
Aaron Gurst:
Though, speaking of scary…
“Lords of War” hits the arena sound system as Disturbed appears at the top of the ramp. He glares down the ring at his opponents and slowly walks down the ramp.
Around the arena we watch as the lights dim as the opening verse of “Toxic Pretender” by Vanna begins to play around the arena. After 13 seconds we hear the line “YOU FUCKING DISGUST ME!!” erupt like a shotgun blast as the lights flash in dark hues purple as we see in the shadows Nightmare make his way onto the stage from behind the curtain. Walking to the far left side of the stage we see Nightmare stare out at the crowd from under the hood of his unzipped black hoodie. Walking back to the center of the stage Nightmare drops to his knees and lets in a deep breath as he places both arms behind his head before pulling himself back to his feet and makes his way down to the ring.
As Nightmare reaches the end of the entrance ramp and enters the ringside area we watch as he rolls under the bottom rope and makes his way to the far right corner of the ring. Standing on the 2nd turnbuckle Nightmare stretches his arms out wide as he keeps his head down before pulling them in to form an X under his chin. Lifting his head up Nightmare lets out a sick grin to the crowd before he fixates his gaze over at the announcers table. Hopping down off the turnbuckle we watch as Gavin takes his hoodie off and drops it to the floor before taking a seat in the same corner where he stood on. We watch as Nightmare runs his hands through his hair, pulling at it while he waits for the match to begin.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And their opponents, they are...NIGHTMARE AND DISTURBED!!!
Bolt Thomas:
This is a dangerous team, no denying that!
Aaron Gurst:
And while they’ve all more or less got their own things going on...they all seem to want a shot at Joe, too!
Bolt Thomas:
Lucky him…
Joe Summers and Disturbed both step into the ring to get things started for their team as the referee calls for the bell and the match is officially underway! Almost immediately, Joe runs across the ring and blasts Disturbed in the face with a hard right hand. He follows it up with a second and then a third. Disturbed responds by hitting Joe with a throat thrust that sends him back into the ropes. Joe slingshots off of them and charges forward – hitting Disturbed with a massive clothesline that sends him stumbling back! Disturbed stays on his feet and chuckles! He pounds his chest and DARES Joe to give him another one. Joe responds by bouncing off of the ropes. Disturbed braces himself for impact. Joe suddenly stops himself short and hits Disturbed in the mouth with a superkick! The impact sends Disturbed staggering through the ropes and out onto the floor! He lands on his feet as Joe sprints across the ring and launches himself over the top ropes – sending both men hard to the floor with a plancha!
Bolt Thomas:
Would you look at that…?!
Aaron Gurst:
Joe doesn’t want Disturbed to think that he’s scared of him! I respect it! But, you have to wonder if getting Joe out onto the floor like that is a good idea…
Joe pulls himself back up to his feet. He tries to get the fans fired up before grabbing Disturbed and lifting him back up to his feet. He pounds away on Disturbed with a few more right hands. Joe then grabs Disturbed by the head and drags him over to the nearest set of stairs. He lines Disturbed up with them and prepares to drop him onto the stairs with a DDT! Suddenly, Disturbed shoves Joe away from him. Joe loses his balance, and Disturbed lifts him into the air. He SLAMS Joe’s back hard into the ring post! He does it a second time for good measure before dropping Joe down to the floor. Disturbed puts a foot on Joe’s back and raises a hand in the air to taunt him – the fans booing loudly.
Aaron Gurst:
See what I mean?
Disturbed then lifts Joe up to his feet. Joe stands there groggily as Disturbed powers Joe into the air and drops him onto the guard-rail face first! Joe stumbles around, but manages to roll back into the ring. Disturbed follows in close pursuit as he charges at Joe and nearly takes his head off with a big boot! Disturbed then goes for the cover and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Joe kicks out!
Disturbed drags Joe up to his feet. He places two hands around his throat and tries to lift Joe into the air for a chokebomb! Joe manages to shove Disturbed away from him! Disturbed staggers a few steps before trying to charge back at the champ – who responds by leaping into the air and hitting Joe with a dropkick! Disturbed staggers back to his corner from the impact as Nightmare tags himself into the match. Joe misses it and runs forward, hitting Disturbed with a jumping knee that sends him crashing to the mat! Unfortunately for him, Nightmare responds by springboarding into the ring and hitting Joe with a spinning wheel kick! He covers Joe for the…
ONE!
TWO!
THR---NO!
Bolt Thomas:
Joe was beginning to build a bit of momentum, but…
Aaron Gurst:
Wrong guy!
Nightmare lines himself up with Joe as he starts to pull himself back up to his feet. Once Joe is almost up, Nightmare tries to send him back to the mat with Magnetic Knives! Joe steps out of the way at the last possible second! He grabs hold of Nightmare from behind and tries to get him into position for a Dragon Suplex, though Nightmare spins out of Joe’s grasp! He hits Joe in the mouth with an elbow smash, and then a spinning backfist! Joe drops down to a knee as Nightmare bounces off of the ropes and tries for a shining wizard! Joe ducks underneath the attempt and Nightmare crashes to the mat! Joe grabs hold of him from behind and tries to snap off The End of Summer! Nightmare escapes Joe’s grasp and rolls him up for the…
ONE!
TWO!
THR---NO!
Both wrestlers pop back up to their feet! Nightmare charges at Joe and tries to deliver a Driver’s Side Impact – though Joe responds by running forward and BLASTING Nightmare in the mouth with a forearm smash! Nightmare nearly loses his balance as Joe grabs hold of him and snaps off an Asai DDT! He hooks the leg and goes for the cover, picking up the…
ONE!
TWO!
THRE----NO!
Bolt Thomas:
Oh, that was close!
Aaron Gurst:
Might’ve been what Joe needed to get out of this one, though!
Sure enough, Joe staggers over to his corner of the ring. He tags Mr. Natural into the match. The two men lock eyes for a moment before Mr. Natural smirks and gives Joe a quick wink. Nightmare tries to interfere in the moment by charging at the two of them. Mr. Natural ducks out of the way and causes Nightmare to crash into the turnbuckle. Nightmare tries to regain his balance – but can’t before Mr. Natural snaps off a flatliner! He hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Nightmare kicks out!
Mr. Natural grabs hold of Nightmare and drags him back up to his feet. He hits Nightmare with a chop to the chest, and then a second, and then a third. Nightmare tries to fight back, but Mr. Natural blocks the attempt. He then grabs hold of Nightmare and hoists him into the air for a brainbuster! Mr. Natural hooks the leg and goes for the cover, picking up the…
ONE!
TWO!
TH—Disturbed breaks up the attempt!
Bolt Thomas:
Well, that isn’t good news for Mr. Natural…
Aaron Gurst:
Disturbed looks MAD!
Sure enough, Disturbed grabs hold of Mr. Natural and hits him with a clubbing blow. He knocks Mr. Natural back against the nearest turnbuckle and comes charging in, crushing him with a big splash! Mr. Natural staggers out of the corner and rolls onto the apron. Disturbed lines himself up with Mr. Natural as Nightmare pulls himself back up to his feet. Joe runs into the ring to help his partner, but Nightmare cuts him off with a Driver’s Side Impact! The referee tries to get control of the situation as Nightmare and Disturbed both look at one another. Disturbed runs forward, but gets hit with an elbow smash from Mr. Natural! This, unfortunately, just gives Nightmare the opening he needs to send Mr. Natural out to the floor! Nightmare then dives through the ropes and sends both men crashing hard to the floor with a suicide dive!
Bolt Thomas:
This referee is going to have to figure something out…
Aaron Gurst:
Does he?!
Disturbed regains his sense of where he’s at and glares out at the two men on the floor. He goes to exit the ring, when suddenly, Joe Summers comes charging at him and sends both men flying over the time with a big clothesline! They crash hard to the floor, but nonetheless pull themselves back up to their feet. Disturbed responds by charging at Joe and tackling him through the guard rail! The fans are on their feet as the referee glances out at the wreckage. Joe and Disturbed slowly start to stir and continue to battle their way through the crowd, much the delight of the fans in attendance.
Bolt Thomas:
Someone’s going to have to get control of them!
Meanwhile, Nightmare lifts Mr. Natural up to his feet. He bounces his head off of the ring apron and then grabs hold of him, trying to set Mr. Natural up for The End of Heartache! Natural escapes Nightmare and then shoves his ribs into the ring apron! Nightmare doubles over in pain as the lights begin to flicker. Mr. Natural throws up a set of devil horns behind his head as the lights cut out completely.
Bolt Thomas:
I don’t even know what’s going on anymore…
The crowd begins to buzz with excitement as there are brief flickers from the lights, but not enough to illuminate what’s going on in the ring. Suddenly, the lights come back on and Nightmare is on the mat with Mr. Natural on top of him, leg hooked for the pin attempt. The referee looks around in confusion before counting the…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winner of this match...MR. NATURAL!!!
Bolt Thomas:
The chaos magician always has a few tricks up his sleeve…
Aaron Gurst:
Seems appropriate for the kind of night we’re having, doesn’t it?!
Boom!
The warm summer night in Brooklyn has been off to a good start, but little does anyone realize just how much better the night is about to become. The camera pans across the arena and stops as suddenly the lights go out. The intensity of the moment grows as the lights remain off. Without warning, a spotlight shines on the entrance ramp.
*BOOM BOOM*
The light starts as white.
*BOOM BOOM*
Then shifts to yellow.
*BOOM BOOM*
Then to red.
*BOOM BOOM*
Then to blue.
*BOOM BOOM*
And then finally to green. It flickers several times and finally goes out. A lone pyro shoots off, but oddly it goes towards the ring. As it reaches the ring, it dims out, but a glimpse of someone standing in the ring is seen. The lights slowly come back on to a hooded figure standing in the ring with a mic in hand.
"For years I loomed in the shadows. For years I made my presence known. For years I made impact after impact after impact."
The hooded figure walked around the ring as if it was in their second nature, like it was their home. They seemed to exude confidence with every step they took.
"For years nobody thought of me as their equal. For years everybody avoided me. For years nobody would even mutter my name for whatever reason."
The hood shifted up a bit and you could catch a glimpse of both black and gray facial hair, seemingly a goatee or a beard. Not enough of a shift to fully tell.
"For years I stayed away. For years I contemplated my actions and thought of new ones. For years of planning, it's all culminated into this...very...moment."
The hood gets pulled back down briefly as they pace in the ring.
"A fire was lit under my ass. Some could say it's unfinished business. Some could say it's attempting another opportunity that may bear fruit. Some could even say that it's a reckoning."
They stop in the center of the ring. A hand reaches up to the hood...fingers grasp the edge.
"But little does anyone know what this truly is. What this is...it's just another impact that's been in anticipation for a long, long time. The problem is...you all are too blind to see it."
BUT HE CANNOT SEE...
In that moment, the hood comes off. A beard of both gray and black hairs stand out followed by a head of short black hair with a tint of gray alongside his ears. A face nobody has seen in nearly ten years. A bit older in appearance...a bit wiser too. A snake has charmed his way into the arena, rattling around and finally setting foot in a CPW ring after so long.
"The Snake is back."
Rattlesnake takes a deep breath. How long has it really been? His absence was felt. The empty void in his heart seemed to start filling back up. It was a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time.
Rattlesnake: So you may be asking just why it is that I'm standing here now. Was it for nostalgia? Did I just happen to miss those in the back? Did I just feel like coming back and knocking around a few of those that made my life a living hell? I'll save you the trouble of trying to figure that out. Yes. Yes. And yes. You see...part of me has some unfinished business. Once upon a time, I was the Xtreme Chaos Champion for a few months and well...part of me can't deal with the fact that it was only for a few months. Once upon a time I dreamed of a revolution that would shake this place down to it's very foundation. Once upon a time, I was regarded as one of the best. But times do change...and sometimes things stay the same.
Rattlesnake paces around the ring again. He breathes in deep, reminisicing about the old days and thinking to himself how things do change over time and that he simply cannot live in the past.
Rattlesnake: But rest assured...if I do decide to don those familiar boots. If I do decide to wield that baseball bat. If I do decide to walk down that ramp again and again and again. If I do decide to do all of that, I will have one thing on my mind. I'm not going to live in the past, thinking about the glory days of yesteryear. I'm going to focus on the here and now. I'm going to focus on what I once lost and I'm going to focus on reclaiming it once again. Now I don't know who prides themself on being at the top, but don't worry as I'm sure you have others to focus on and that's fine. I'm just stressing to anybody else that well...in the last few minutes that I've been standing here, drinking all of this in, getting that itch...well you may just have someone else to contend with and I can promise you that I won't make things easy.
That itch really began to shift into high gear.
Rattlesnake: I walked through those doors 17 years ago. It was a journey with ups and downs. I saw the best and I saw the worst. I faced the best and I faced the worst. I beat the best and I beat the worst. So maybe on top of a dose of nostalgia, it could be to prove a point. Maybe I still have the magic I had all those years ago. Maybe, just maybe I can show off a thing or two. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But they never said an old dog can show you a new one.
Show a new trick? The only way to show off a new trick is to do the one thing and he knew exactly what that was.
Rattlesnake: You know what? Fuck it. I shouldn't have to decide to come back. I just have to do it. So why the hell not? I'm sure there are a couple of people in the back itching for a returning veteran after all. Let's just see who all is up for it.
Rattlesnake gives off his trademark smirk. You can clearly hear a short laugh. He takes a deep breath.
Rattlesnake: I'm back bitches. Come and get me.
Rattlesnake drops the mic in the ring and leaves through the ropes. He slowly makes his way back up the ramp. He stops for a second and turns around, taking in the scenery. Maybe this time will yield better results...maybe. He continues up the ramp and leaves the stage.
Samantha Ryan vs Denni Summers
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Bolt Thomas:
I guess this is...technically Samantha’s debut, though we’ve been seeing quite a bit of her lately…
Aaron Gurst:
I’ve been talking to Ashley Sweeney about her, and let me tell you, Dolty...we’ve got a lot to look forward to with this one!
"Open Your Eyes" fills the arena, the lighting darkening as a flashing strobe effect picks up. Denni Summers steps out into the entryway, a smirk on her face. She takes a cocky little bow, smiling at the positive crowd reaction before heading down toward the ring. On the way down, she slaps hands with a few fans as she passes, clapping a bit to get them cheering louder. She climbs into the ring upon reaching it, heading to the center, and gives her hips a shake to rile up the crowd even more. Grinning at the cheering from the crowd, she gives her ass a slap, then heads to her corner, leaning against it as she waits for the match to begin.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, from Denver, Colorado, she is...DENNI SUMMERS!!!
Bolt Thomas:
Well, we can say a whole lot about who Denni Summers is today, but...she’s got a lot of experience in the ring!
Aaron Gurst:
She does, and I’d never take that away from her! Samantha’s going to need to be at the top of her game if she’s going to win this one!
The arena goes dark as blue and white lights begin to strobe. The pulsing sound of Annihilation's beat fills the air as the fans begin to give a rather mixed response. Instead of Ashley Sweeney, Samantha Ryan appears at the top of the ramp.
Come and bring your body to me
I crave annihilation
When the beat picks up, Samantha slowly makes her way down to the ring. The entire time, she's mouthing off at Denni in the ring, causing Denni to roll her eyes in annoyance.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
And her opponent, from Seattle, Washington...she is, SAMANTHA RYAN!!!
Aaron Gurst:
For starter’s, I was told this poor girl wasn’t even given a chance to pick her own entrance music yet! Can you believe that horrible mistreatment of this future star?!
Bolt Thomas:
Well, she sure seems to think she’s something special, judging by the way she’s carrying herself…
Aaron Gurst:
That’s because she is!
Once Samantha reaches the ring, she says a few more words to Denni. Denni rolls her eyes in response, as Samantha leans against the ropes and continues to receive a rather mixed response from the fans. The referee looks at the two of them to make sure they’re ready before calling for the bell, the match now officially underway. Denni steps toward the center of the ring and focuses on the upcoming match. Samantha continues to lean against the ropes while enjoying the moment – stopping only when Denni gets in her face and hits her with a hard forearm smash! Denni follows it up with a second as Samantha stumbles around the ring from the impact. Denni grabs hold of Samantha and shoots her across the ring. When she comes back on the rebound, Denni lifts Samantha into the air and delivers a hip toss! Samantha hits the mat hard as Denni bounces off of the ropes and tries to land on Samantha with a senton – only to have Samantha roll out of the way at the last possible second! Denni hits the mat hard as Samantha looks at the referee and tries to plead her case that the entire beginning of the match was unfair – with the referee not buying it for a second.
Bolt Thomas:
Well, this probably isn’t the kind of start that Samantha wanted…
Aaron Gurst:
She’s just baiting Denni in, Dolty! She’s letting her think she stands a chance! It’ll be fine, don’t you worry…
Despite that, Denni reaches her feet and immediately tries to close the gap between the two wrestlers once again. She hits Samantha with a hard chop and then tries to grab hold of her. Samantha immediately shoves Denni away from her! Denni stumbles and turns to face Samantha – who steps forward and hits Denni with an elbow smash! Denni nearly hits the mat but remains upright. Samantha smirks and runs at Denni to hit her with a big clothesline! Denni crashes to the mat as Samantha grabs her by the hair. She slams the back of Denni’s head into the mat repeatedly before spinning Denni around and trying to lock her into a sleeper! Denni’s eyes go wide as she quickly shifts her positioning so that her feet are under the bottom rope. The referee calls for Samantha to break the hold, as Samantha briefly goes to argue and ask why – only later noticing that she had Denni out of position.
Bolt Thomas:
Samantha knew what she needed to do, and she’s hit Denni hard when she’s managed to hit her!
Aaron Gurst:
She also knows that she needs to make Denni tap if she wants to win!
Bolt Thomas:
But she also looks like she lacks some of the natural ring awareness that Denni has, and you have to think that might hurt her a bit as this match continues!
Samantha mumbles angrily to herself before taking a deep breath. She brings Denni back up to her feet and hits her with a forearm smash to the face that sends Denni staggering. Samantha pulls Denni in and hits her with a second for good measure. Denni stumbles back to the nearest turnbuckle and leans against it. Samantha comes charging in just a moment later and throws her hip into Denni’s ribs! Denni stumbles out of the corner in pain as she tries to catch her breath! Samantha grabs Denni by the hair and slams her down to the mat once again! She drops down and confidently hooks the leg as she picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
Denni kicks out!
Samantha drags Denni up to her feet. She shakes her head and lifts Denni into the air, slamming her back down to the mat with a basic body slam! She then drops an elbow onto her and casually covers Denni while flipping her hair back, the referee counting the…
ONE!
TWO!
T---Denni kicks out again!
Bolt Thomas:
It looks a bit like Samantha is starting to feel herself in this one!
Aaron Gurst:
She knows she’s in the middle of a star making performance, and she’s going to enjoy every second of it!
Samantha grabs hold of Denni’s head and tries to get her into position for a side headlock, though Denni shifts her positioning in such a way to avoid getting locked in the hold. She backs away from Samantha and uses the ropes to reach her feet more quickly. Once she’s standing, Samantha once again tries to close the gap between the two of them – only to have Denni trip her up with a drop-toe-hold! Samantha leans on the bottom rope and tries to catch her breath as Denni bounces off of the ropes and leaps into the air – using her weight to crush Samantha against the bottom rope! Samantha tries to catch her breath and rolls around as Denni lines herself up with Samantha! She leaps into the air and sends Samantha crashing to the mat with a fame-asser! Denni the hooks the leg and picks up the…
ONE!
TWO!
TH---NO!
Bolt Thomas:
I’m actually surprised that Samantha kicked out of that one! This is the first time she’s facing real adversity…
Denni calls for the fans to show their support and gives her hips a quick shake! She then bounces off of the ropes and tries to line Samantha up for a Taste of Perfection – only to have Samantha cut her off with a BIG back body drop! Denni crashes to the mat with a hard thud as Samantha turns around and immediately grabs hold of Denni. She hits her with a few clubbing blows to the head as Denni collapses to the mat. Samantha briefly grabs hold of Denni and looks like she’s going to set her up for a crossface face before stopping. She turns to the crowd and gives her hips a shake – drawing quite a few cheers and boos in the process. She then lines herself up with Denni and tries to hit Denni with her own Taste of Perfection! Just before she can connect, Denni ducks out of the way – though she remains on the mat as if she’s taken too much of a beating to get up.
Bolt Thomas:
Denni dodged a killshot from Samantha that, quite frankly...would’ve been a bit uncalled for…
Aaron Gurst:
Do you see how much damage Samantha has already done to her, though? This is over!
Samantha looks down at Denni and shakes her head. She gives her hips one more shake to mock her opponent before grabbing hold of Denni and deliberately setting her up for a crossface! Just before she can actually lock the hold in, Denni suddenly shifts her weight and rolls Samantha up, picking up the…
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The winner of this match...DENNI SUMMERS!!!
Aaron Gurst:
No way!
Bolt Thomas:
Denni just put that ring awareness to good use! Good for her!
Denni pops back up to her feet as the referee raises her hand in victory! She smiles and gives the fans a show as she walks around the ring – enjoying the fact that she just proved how much smarter she is than Samantha! Samantha leans against the ropes and watches Denni celebrate her victory.
Bolt Thomas:
To her credit...Samantha was productive! She showed that she’s got a lot of potential! But she wasn’t focused, and…
Before Bolt can finish his statement, Samantha runs at Denni and blasts her in the back of the head with a clothesline! Denni collapses to the mat as Samantha grabs hold of her and locks in a crossface! Denni begins to tap on the mat frantically while screaming at the top of her lungs.
Denni Summers:
I quit! I quit! I QUIT!!!
Denni pounds on the mat and cries hysterically as the referee pulls Samantha off of her. Samantha takes a deep breath and tries to compose herself before standing up and smiling. She slowly exits the ring and makes her way to the back.
Murder City Angels vs. Marissa Miretti/Martina Masseria
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
The following contest is a tag team match and it is set for one fall!!!
The lights dim amidst the swirling organ opening of Faith No More's "Be Aggressive." As the song kicks into its rollicking groove, M & M, Martina Masseria and Marissa Miretti, slowly make their way out to the entranceway. They stand still, wearing matching black hooded jackets with the hoods up, Martina's hands in her pockets while Marissa's remain by her sides. They survey the crowd for a few moments, taking in the crowd's less than happy to see them reaction and enjoying every second of it. Finally, they reach up and toss their hoods off, Martina shaking her head in disgust, Marissa just shrugging before making their way down to the ring. The two trot up the steps, unzipping their jackets as they go, and then enter the ring beneath the second rope. They each climb up onto opposite corners, spreading their arms out wide as the crowd does their best to make them feel unwelcome. They glare out at them, Martina yelling and gesturing as if daring for them to come at her themselves while Marissa stands there looking both disgusted and amused. Still getting the same reaction, they grin back at each other, shrugging and waving the crowd off as they hop back down and remove their jackets, dropping them to the outside, coming together and leaning back in their corner.
Ring Announcer Nathan Jacobs:
Introducing first, team number one, originally from Brooklyn, New York and now wrestling out of Chicago, Illinois!, the team of Marissa Miretti and Martina Massera!!!
Bolt Thomas:
They’re really not getting the hometown reception, are they?
Aaron Gurst:
No...
Bolt Thomas:
Do you think they expected one?
Aaron Gurst:
I… don’t know?
The lights go out and Ugly Kid Joe’s cover of “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone” starts. As the bass thumps along, slowly the silhouette of a young woman moves across the entrance screen, followed by a second and a then a third. At the 0.44 mark, a fourth starts across waving her hands. At 0.59 mark, a drum beat shows them break into the Charlie’s Angels’ Pose. The curtain falls and Reby Starr leads the Murder City Angels, Aurora and Live Wire, through the entryway, all three wearing matching motorcycle kuttes with a blue Red Wings logo on the back of it. They make their way down the aisle, Reby seemingly dancing as she walks with her friends behind her. Aurora looks straight at the ring, smiling yet serious while Live Wire raises her arms, her steely glare following their front woman to the ring. The Murder City Angels reach the ringside area and slip inside, Reby bouncing up and then sliding in backwards under the bottom rope, striking a split and then slowly pulling herself up to her feet to make sure everybody sees the show. Aurora and Live Wire move to opposite ends of the ring and then Reby give the signal. The other two pull themselves up and ascends their respective corner with Reby pointing at them both, nodding her head excitedly. As they slip down to the mat, Reby walks to Nathan and requests the microphone which he is only too happy to hand over. She smiles, kisses him on the cheek and then walks out to the middle of the ring, Aurora and Live Wire flanking her on either side.
Reby Starr:
Ladies and gentlemen...
She pauses as the crowd starts to sing along and smirks, nodding along.
Reby Starr:
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Reby Starr and…
Before she can get another word out, Marisaa nd Martina attack from behind, a heretofore unseen Mercy DiRocco joining them in the assault with Mercy wielding a chair. As they continue to hammer away on them, Slingshot Red and Avery Wright run down with chairs of their own. As they hit the ring, M & M bail out of the ring
Bolt Thomas:
This is heinous!
Aaron Gurst:
Yes, how DARE they interrupt a glorious bit of violence!
Bolt Thomas:
A...
Aaron Gurst:
You heard me!
Red and Avery invite them back but Marissa and Mercy hold Martina back and smirk cruelly as the Angels get back to their feet and glare out at them.

The CPW logo then flashes across the screen as the show comes to an end.
