United Supreme Pro Wrestling: Monday Night Firestorm Episode 5
Venue: Colonial Life Arena
Date: March 16th, 2020
State/City: Columbia, South Carolina
(A scene is set up as an unknown figure is in a car flipping the key inside the ignition and starting the engine. He then checks his mirrors, takes a sip of hot coffee, and places his hand upon the stick shift. The figure then pulls the lever down to the 'D' letter on the pad as the car started taking off.)
Living breathing for a single moment
We've left everything we had being
Time to roll brothers out and over
Nothing to lose, nothing but time
(The car speeds into a parking garage as the headlights shine brightly and the car heads up the different floors. The figure stays in his seat before reaching the top floor before swerving the car to a stop.)
Are you sure you wanna take this road now?
Are you certain that you're gonna win?
Did they tell you it could be over?
Over and done before you begin
(The figure then reverses the car backwards as he looks behind him seeing a ramp leading off the top of the garage and he hits it launching off backwards. He lands roughly on the road before turning it around and going straight again.)
Everything you know will not prepare you
Nothing's gonna change if you resist
Everything you got, bring it on, we dare you
Nothing will compare to this
(The car drives off as the screen shows Jonathan Steele posing for the crowd, Preston Starr hitting a Tope Con Hilo on all three members of the Falcon's Prophecy, Cody Fireheart hitting an Impaler DDT on Connor Gates, Brodie Lee staring menacingly into the camera, and Orange Cassidy doing a kip up with his hands fully in his pockets.)
It's an avalanche! (Are you ready for this?)
It's a critical mess! (Are you ready for this?)
It's your massive attack! (Are you ready for this?)
It's gonna kick your ass! (Are you ready for this?)
(The scene shows the logo of USPW being bold white letters, but the top line of 'S' and the bottom line of 'P' are neon blue. Pyro of red, blue, green, yellow, and orange go off in the arena as the main titantron was circular showing the main logo for the show of 'USPW: Firestorm' and the mini-tron is the same as the ones WWE used in 2008-2011. There was even five screens going up the stage resembling a speed gauge you would find in any automation vehicle.)
Bring the fire!
and you take your chance!
Start the fight!
We'll bring your answer!
Ooh, ready for this!
Are you ready for this?!
(As "Ready for This" by All Good Things kept playing in the background, the pyro goes off for the stage as mixtures of red, blue, green, orange, and purple pyro are shown with leftover smoke showing. The cameras panned over the 18,655 fans in attendance tonight and they held up signs showing off their support for USPW as the ring is shown and everything around it. Russ is wearing his normal black tuxedo, Greg is wearing a green "Justice Never Dies" shirt along with blue jeans and white sneakers, and Jasmynn wears a white pantsuit and a black skirt as she stacked her papers.)
"Welcome everyone to another exciting episode of Firestorm coming off our Rags or Riches special where we have new USPW Global Tag Team Champions. The Lucha Bros. got to come out last and while the Bloodline went the high miles, they came up short as Rey scored the pinfall for the winning moment," Russ reminded.
"This has lead to our commander in chief for tonight, Haleigh Grant, to announce a Four Corners #1 Contendership Tag Team Match where the winners will head to the second night of Niagara Brawls and fight Lucha Bros. for the titles. We have Swagger Boys, Jake Crist and Madman Fulton of oVe, Jonathan and William of the Bloodline, and Bottoms Up Outlaws heading into this match tonight. They are excellent teams in their own rights, but only one is gonna get the chance to face the luchadors in New York at the biggest waterfall in the world," Greg explained.
"In our secondary main match, she also sanctioned a big match as USPW Television Champion Preston Starr faces USPW World Heavyweight Champion Jason David Frank. Last week on CageZone, Viktor and Connor Chaos made their triumphant debut eliminating Connor Gates and Cody Fireheart allowing Preston win the TV Title, but they also took out our world champion. Jason will be looking for revenge tonight, because we just don't see him getting tossed around like that," Jasmynn explained.
"Don't forget we have Ryan Brown and Logan Gage coming up as well and they face off in a Last Man Standing Match for our main event of the evening. This will dispel the bad blood between them and finally end their little scrimish. These two liked getting down and dirty before so we can see them go all over the arena tonight," Russ explained.

(The screens started going fuzzy as green lights replaced the normal spotlights and the crowd booed, but some slightly cheered as Andrew Marsh came out holding his broken lantern. He wiped hair from his face and walks down the ramp sticking his tongue out at the fans.)
"The opening contest is set for one-fall! Introducing first, from your eternal nightmares, weighing 234 lbs., Andrew Marsh!" Richard announced.
"This guy is all kinds of creepy and he makes up for it with an even creepier mindset," Greg stated.
"He had a vendetta against Orange Cassidy and now he gets bumped up to possibly having a U.S. Title shot which could be a stepping stone to getting ahead in this promotion," Jasmynn added.
(Andrew crawled down the ramp as he set the lantern upon the ring before rolling in and sticks his tongue out grinning like a madman before sitting cross-legged in the middle of the ring.)
("Farewell of Slavankia" by The Russian Empire)
(The crowd booed loudly as Ivan Salkov came out in a royal blue robe and carried the U.S. Title as he came down the ramp towards the ring.)
"Introducing his opponent, hailing from Mother Russia, weighing in at 275 lbs., he is the USPW United States Champion, Ivan Salkov!" Richard announced.
"Ivan has been undefeated ever since he became the United States Champion and the crowd has let them know that he is not their hero. Not the one to worship," Russ stated.
"You think that matters to him? He's a Russia guy so Ivan credits every victory to his homeland and Andrew could just be another victim," Greg added.
(Ivan approached unfazed by Andrew's mind games and disgusting behavior as he comes up the steel steps as he orders the referee to hold the ropes open and the official obliged. Ivan steps through the ropes as he raises the U.S. Title with utter pride. The crowd booed him as the Russian Brawler handed his title to the referee and revealed his blue MMA shorts with white lines down each side, his black boots, and blue MMA Gloves. Andrew wore the same outfit he always has since his debut.)
The bell rang as Andrew got in Ivan's face talking down to him as Ivan crosses his arms getting back at Andrew. Andrew pushes the Russian getting a few cheers, but Ivan spears Andrew hitting lefts and rights to the head before getting Andrew up in a front facelock holding Andrew down before switching into a quick headlock. Andrew tried getting himself free, but Ivan hits stiff elbows to the head and then he grabs the left leg locking in a tight leg lock elbowing the knee as Andrew cries out in pain. Ivan gets up and locked the left leg up with the right leg before reaching forward to lock Andrew up in modified Dragon Sleeper as he wrenched down on the neck. The referee checked on Andrew as the monster tried freeing himself, but Ivan had a complete hold on the body not letting anything slip through.
"Look at the intelligence of Ivan locking down Andrew as Marsh does rely on his hands and power moves to get the edge," Russ explained.
Ivan kept the lock in as much as he could and Andrew choked on spit trying to get out, but he found it hard with an experienced MMA fighter. Andrew tapped on Ivan's back signaling a submission victory and an easy out.
("Farewell of Slavankia" by The Russian Empire)
"Here is your winner by way of submission, Ivan Salkov!" Richard announced as he is outside the ring.
(Ivan holds the submission in as the referee screams to let Andrew go and the monster starts winding down before the Russian completely let go of his opponent pushing him down. Ivan rubs his hands cleaning the dust from that easy victory.)
"Was that supposed to be challenge?" Ivan asked the booing crowd as he laughed at Andrew.
"Like it or not, no one can really stand up to Ivan right now," Greg stated.
"This is why he became U.S. Champion and that all the brutes we have probably can't hold a candle to his moves. This man will put you in ten submission holds before you realize you're screwed," Russ added.
(Ivan demands his title before he raises it to the crowd showing the world who not to mess with as he puts it on his right shoulder smirking proudly.)
("The Search" by NF)
(The crowd cheers loudly as Marcus makes his return with his left arm in a blue sling as Ivan drops the U.S. Title yelling at Marcus pointing at the sling as if to mock him. Marcus breaks off the sling smirking and starts walking down the ramp wearing a orange and peach flannel shirt with blue jeans and red Air Jordans as Ivan heads out of the ring with the two behemoths going at it out of the gate.)
"Marcus returns to Firestorm and goes straight after Ivan. The man who put him out of commission at Rush Hour is in for a doozy of a fight," Russ stated.
(Marcus sends Ivan straight into the steel steps blasting them apart before he barrels the stomach of Ivan with his knee. Marcus then bashed the body of Ivan back first into the barricade as the crowd cheered Marcus on for his brutalization. The former NBA player kicked down at Ivan before the Russian brawler took down his prey punching at the head of Marcus as five security officials came down the ramp to try to break up the fight. Ivan fought off two restraining him and Marcus fought off the other three letting him continue his brawl with Ivan.)
"Even security can't deal with these two. They just want a nice hard fight.," Greg stated.
(Marcus hits elbows to Ivan's head, but Ivan gets a right rib shot and tries for a DDT, but Marcus backs Ivan up against the apron before blasting the jaw with a right and to the stomach with the left. He tries going for the Foul Line (Yusuku Cutter), but Ivan comes out of it trying for a sleeperhold, but Marcus ran Ivan's head into the ring post. Ivan holds his head going down as Marcus continues punches to the head before other security officials and backstage workers came out to separate the two men.)
"What a crazy start to Firestorm! These two can't keep their hands to themselves and the crowd is behind Marcus fully," Jasmynn stated.
(Marcus didn't fight it as he felt he made his point, but Ivan tried lunging for Marcus shouting incoherent Russian words and spitting out some water. Marcus flips him out as both men calmed down as Marcus is escorted up the ramp.)
"Looks like Marcus knows who he wants. This could be only the beginning of these two clashing like the titans," Greg stated.
"Ivan drew first blood breaking the left arm of Marcus, but this former basketball star got his revenge tonight and made his intentions as clear as glass," Jasmynn added.
(Backstage, Orange Cassidy is seen laying in a hammock he set up between two steel poles and he lays rocking back and forth as Leslie Knuckle comes by with a microphone.)
"Um…Orange Cassidy…can I get a word with you?" Leslie asked.
"Hmmm? Oh sure, I guess," Cassidy stated without looking up from his position.
"So you've been surprisingly silent about oVe's attack against you at Rush Hour, why is that? What's your mindset like on this topic?" Leslie asked as she leaned her microphone towards Cassidy.
"Just don't think…," Cassidy replied with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders.
"Okay…well, do you have anything to say to Sami or any other members? Any revenge plots? Any challenges you like to issue?" Leslie asked.
"Maybe…I don't really challenge. I just do," Cassidy replied.
"Well, who would you take on right now? Who's your main target?" Leslie asked.
"I don't know…all of them," Cassidy replied as he turned his head towards Leslie.
"So, we have Niagara Brawls coming up…maybe you like to show Sami Callahan a real slugfest, because we know you have the killer moves to go all out," Leslie suggested.
"Yeah…I guess I could," Cassidy stated with a nod.
"So is that an official challenge?" Leslie asked.
"Sure…whatever," Cassidy replied.
"Well, there it is. Cassidy has officially put out a challenge for Niagara Brawls and I wait anxiously to what Sami is going to answer with," Leslie stated to the camera.
(Suddenly, the screen started going static and the broadcast is temporarily interrupted until the letters of oVe flashed across the screen causing the crowd to boo. A dark room is barely lit as Sami Callahan, Sara Lewis, Jake Crist, and Madman Fulton came walking in as they all stared at the camera with pure amusement.)
"So this sloth and disgrace of a wrestler thinks that he can stand up to the very embodiment of what this faction has become? That's funny…but I'm not laughing about it. I hate jokes like you eating up attention like it's entitled to you," Sami explained as the crowd booed him loudly.
"You think we are joking? Don't forget that two weeks ago, we showed up and trounced those ludicrous tag teams that you all love and hate," Sara interjected.
"My girl is right and we came to USPW going to take it over showing all of you people the real truth that this promotion needs to realize. You won't get by on just your silly gimmicks that let you pretend to be someone else. Leave that to Hollywood and come back to reality," Sami argued.
"We're just getting started, ladies and gentlemen. We aren't saints and we aren't the good guys, but do we really have to be good to get a point across? After my lovely husband trounces your so-called hero, we plan on coming after the titles this establishment has. We will climb the ladders and make use of everything we get. Unlike that pompous beauty Barbie known as Sonny Kiss. He doesn't even show up to proudly represent the title given to him," Sara explained.
"Some people don't show up to work and others work their asses off to get anywhere…who reaps the benefits? You guessed it. That changes come Niagara Brawls and it starts with that orange fucker." Sami declared as he dropped the camera with the last image being the members walking off laughing to themselves.
Commercial Break…
(Coming back on the air, Will Ralston and Karin Jokela started making their entrance as they appeared in their Rush Hour outfits. Karin walked down waving to the fans throwing them a thumbs up and flirty smile while her husband has the European Championship on his left shoulder with them holding hands walking down the ramp to "Failure" by Breaking Benjamin.)
"The following contest is a mixed tag team match set for one-fall! Introducing first, the team of USPW European Champion Will Ralston and Karin Jokela," Richard announced.
"Karin didn't have much luck in the No Limits Title Battle Royal, but what a performance she did and I'm sure she will make airwaves in the Wildcat Division," Russ stated.
"Her husband, on the other hand, represented Europe very proudly scoring the win after the Kinshasa just as ROTHChester broke up a submission. Pretty outta nowhere and those two have a date set for Niagara Brawls," Russ added.
(Will twirled his wife away as Karin walked up the steel steps holding up a rock on hand signal and heading inside to climb the lower left corner pointing to the cheering crowd. Ralston hopped on the upper left corner holding up his title and did a cartwheel into the ring laying his title down before he joined his wife for tag team action.)
"O…V….E! OHIO VERSUS EVERYTHING!"
(The lights go out as Will and Karin look on in cautiousness awaiting the arrival of the faction and the lights came back on showing Sami Callahan and Sara Lewis ringside with their masks while Sami slung his baseball bat over his shoulder. He wore a 'oVe' hat, a black piece of buffed armor, black cargo pants and black boots as he removed his mask. Sara wore a short black jacket with a big hole in the middle of it, red fingerless gloves, long black shirt, black tights with black angel wing symbols on the legs, black boots with red lines all over them and she sports long black hair with a streak of red. She giggles removing her mask and stomping on it.)
"Their opponents, representing Ohio Versus Everything, Sami Callahan and Sara Lewis!" Richard announced as he began exiting the ring.
(Sami put his baseball bat on the steel steps as he came up them staring deathly at Will before heading inside throwing his hat outside and he held the ropes open for Sara as she discarded her jacket on the steel steps. The referee took Will's title before Karin went to stand on the apron pecking her husband on the cheek and Sami stretched his arms with the referee keeping both men separate.)
The bell rang as Sami and Will circled one another before locking up and Sami gets Will in a tight headlock, but Will ducks behind hitting a Body Takedown and hits three knees to Sami's head. Will gets Sami up and hits a right knee to abdomen whipping Sami into the east end ropes, but the leader of oVe ducks a clothesline before he gets Will with a Arm Drag locking in an Armbar. Sami hit elbows down on Will's locked arm, but Will kips up pulling Sami into a Snap DDT. Will then hits a Roundhouse Kick to the head as Sami tried getting up before hitting a Rolling Senton Bomb and hooking the right leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Sami kicked out instantly following the 2 count.
"Strong start from the European Champion and Sami surely didn't expect this kind of resistance," Greg stated.
Will gets Sami up and chops the chest of Sami, but he barely feels it due to his armor piece and blocks another chop before grabbing Will in a wrist-clutch hitting a Northern Lights Suplex. Sami then kicked the stomach of Will three times and grabbed the legs as the leader of oVe hit a Bicycle Stomp to the chest. Sami berated Will with the boos coming in as he tagged Sara in meaning Will had until 5 to tag Karin in per the rules of this mixed tag team match. Will made the tag at 3 as Karin gets in hitting forearms to Sara, but the witch blocked another forearm throwing Karin on the canvas back first before hitting a Jumping Leg Drop. Sara then gets Karin up smirking before hitting three Bodyslams in a row.
"The witch now stirring her cauldron and working up something for the rockstar. I only hope she doesn't go full Blair Witch," Russ stated.
Sara gets Karin up whipping her into the west end ropes before hitting a Jumping Knee to the face and then hitting a Spinebuster. Sara covered Karin hooking both legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Will pushes Sara off his wife at 2.3!
The referee scolded Will to get back on the apron as Sara gets Karin up slapping the face, but Karin hits an Roundhouse Kick to knock Sara back as the rockstar comes from behind rolling up Sara.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Sara kicked out at 2.6!
Karin gets back to her feet, but suffers a Shining Wizard by Sara when she turned around making Sami cheer his wife on. Sara then gets Karin up before hitting a Vertical Suplex before hitting a Standing Moonsault to her rockstar opponent before hooking the right leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Karin gets her shoulder up at 2.4!
"Sara making good use of her free time, but Karin gets a shoulder up and continues this match," Jasmynn observed.
Sara huffs getting Karin to her feet, but Karin pushes Sara down as she hits a Jumping Spinning Leg Drop as the crowd cheered on the Siren getting her momentum. Karin runs the west end ropes doing a cartwheel hitting a Moonsault Knee Strike to the stomach. Karin gets Sara up and sets her in the upper right corner turning around and smacking her booty shaking it in front of Sara. The witch pleaded trying to get her strength back, but Karin already stuck her butt in Sara's face commencing with a Stinkface. The male fans whistles as Sami yelled at them to shut their mouth and Sara felt utterly humiliated as Karin stepped out laughing her ass off at the move. Sara wipes her face screaming in disgust and got back to her feet, but she suffered a Corner Splash and this sent Sara Lewis on her stomach.
"Well, Karin wanted to play a little prank on Sara and the stinkface seemed to do the trick as Sara feels violated," Greg stated.
Karin gets Sara back in the corner hitting Boxing Strikes to the stomach, but Sami distracted Karin yelling vulgar language at her. Karin flipped him off, but Sara jumped on the middle rope of the corner hitting a Tornado DDT to Karin and the witch ran to tag in Sami and Karin glared at her running to tag in Will. Sami tried for a running clothesline, but Will hopped onto Sami trying for a rollup pin.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Sami kicked out at 2.3!
Sami gets up and ducks a Superkick before he kicks Will in gut before hooking both arms hitting the Cranial Contusion (Double Underhook Piledriver). Will flopped on his back before Sami hooked the right leg for the pin.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Karin broke the count at 2.5!
Sara gets in the ring and does a Lou Thez Press to the rockstar punching the head a few times, but Sami pulls her off just rolling Karin out of the ring. Sami points to Will saying "He's the real fish to fry." as Sami turns around into a Superkick stunning the leader of oVe into Sara knocking the Witch outside the ring. Will then hit the Black and Gold Powerbomb (Last Ride) to Sami bridging into a matchbook pin.
"1…2…" The referee counted, but Sami kicked out at 2.6!
"Black and Gold Powerbomb, but Sami gets up in the nick of time after that scuffle from their wives," Russ stated.
Sami hits a Scoop Slam before grabbing the left leg putting over his head locking in the Stretch Muffler as Will cries out in agony. Sami really wrenches the hold and Karin tries to help her husband, but Sara throws Karin down by her hair. Will taps out making the referee call for the bell.
"Here are your winners by way of submission, Sami Callahan and Sara Lewis!" Richard announced.
"What a debut for Sami and Sara picking off the European Champion like that," Greg stated.
"Even though Sami can't challenge for the title, it does put him up there on the radar for being a big star. He is a former world champion himself," Russ added.
(Sami gets out of the ring as Karin slides in checking on her husband and Sami grabbed the hand of Sara as she blew a kiss at the defeated couple before grabbing the baseball bat to hand to her husband as they walked up the ramp.)
(King Randy is seen backstage as he has a royal white suit on and his gold crown gets a nice shining as he looks at himself in the mirror. He lightly touches his wXw Unified World Wrestling Championship and the king chuckled lightly to himself. The crowd boos as his henchmen start donning his royal cape onto his shoulders.)
"Coming up next, King Randy addresses the main event of Niagara Brawls on the first night as David Starr will not be able to rise to the challenge. The contract signing is up next." Russ announced.
Commercial Break…
(Haleigh and Kennedy were having a make out session on the black couch in the main office they controlled for the night as a knock came at the door. Haleigh groaned getting up and straightening her ponytail as she wore a white polo shirt and blue jeans with white sneakers. She opened the door and Black Tornado hopped into the room with her hands on her hips with her translucent purple cape flowing behind her and the USPW Wildcat Championship around her waist.)
"So the superhero comes calling? There's no hostages in here, I swear!" Haleigh joked.
"The smell of injustice still lingers and something tells me that you'll abuse your power to get this title off me," Tornado explained with an unamused look.
"Why I never would do that. Who do you take me for?" Haleigh asked with a leading smile and her hands up in defense.
"You may fool others with your deceiving charms, but this hero sees through your tricks," Tornado replied.
"I don't want to be predictable, but nothing is stopping me from getting that title considering I never got pinned in that steel cage match a few weeks back." Haleigh explained.
"Then you can earn it like everyone else in the locker room. No special treatment!" Tornado exclaimed as she pointed at the California native.
"Earn this! Challenge that! That's all you goody two-shoes care about while I've been working my ass off ever since Japan. I'm a former AJW Junior Champion and World of Stardom Champion not to mention I'm an excellent professional amateur boxer," Haleigh boasted.
"A monologue is a villain's greatest weakness and you fail to convince me what makes you deserving of a shot," Tornado stated.
(Suddenly, Fleur Bleue appeared with a blue rose in hand wearing her normal attire as the crowd booed the garden girl.)
"Oh, vous ne pensez pas qu'elle mérite un coup de feu? Then that must mean that a new challenger will have to appear, no? Luckily, I have been around and I am not finished with you," Fleur stated.
"Sorry, flower girl, but I won our battle and victory is mine forever. You'll have to join Haleigh at the back of the line," Tornado declined.
"You know what? You want to be difficult? Fine! I'll earn my shot, because I have a bone to pick with flower girl here, anyway. In fact, I'll make it Triple Threat with my girlfriend added into the mix," Haleigh announced as the crowd cheered.
"Then one of you can challenge for my title rightfully. Good day!" Tornado exclaimed as she walked off with both Haleigh closing the door and Fleur glaring at the superhero.
(The cameras cut back to ringside as they catch famous NASCAR racer Andrew Gordon wearing his usual street clothes of a red shirt, blue jeans, black sneakers, sunglasses and a NASCAR colored cap with his racing number in red lettering.)
"And here we have a celebrity in the front row on the south side and that is Andrew Gordon. He is a race car driver always looking for a dirt track to be on," Russ stated.
"It's always a pleasure to have these celebrities coming out and endorsing our promotion. We will get to the heights other promotions have gone to and we will not surrender or go quiet in the night," Greg added.
(Set up in the ring is a brown conference table with a single contract in the middle and the canvas is changed to a royal red color.)
("Hail to the King" by Avenged Sevenfold)
(The crowd went into instant booing as King Randy started making his return to USPW with the wXw Unified World Wrestling Championship around his waist as he wore a natural white suit buttoned-up with a black tie, black slacks and dress shoes as he held his scepter and wore his gold crown. He also had a shorter man with a maroon suit on with a green tie, red slacks and brown dress shoes with a clipboard come out to whisper in his ears before the royal advisor bowed to his king as golden sparklers filled the ramp.)
"What a way for the king of douchebags to make a comeback," Greg stated.
"Coming in from Germany gaining a third reign with the world title from Westside Xtreme Wrestling, King Randy makes his fateful return after bailing out of the world title tournament where he was supposed to face Jason David Frank," Russ explained.
"Can we change the nickname to king of pussies, actually?" Greg asked while he got an annoyed look from Russ.
(The crowd chanted "YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!" as Randy basked in their jealousy and hate as he came down the ramp towards ringside before his advisor went up the steel steps to hold the ropes open for him. King Randy thanked his royal advisor slipping into the ring and doing a courtesy now before he called for a microphone handed to him by his advisor.)
"Well, it's good to be in my kingdom once more!" Randy shouted as the crowd kept chanting "YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!" at the England native.
(Randy laughed at the chants and he unhooked his championship title placing it on the desk before he began to speak again.)
"As charming as you all are, I have to say that was a tasteless greeting. Where are your manners and your praise as your chosen one vanquished those that dared get in his way of glory. I have brought back a relic from my home country to put on display here tonight," Randy explained.
"He's treating that title like it's a museum piece," Greg complained.
"Oh, I get it! You all wanted to see that ruffian from Power Rangers tear me a new behind," Randy stated as the crowd cheered at JDF's reference. "Well, I had an injury that needed a mandatory checkup post haste and I wouldn't risk injury with that bastard. Think of my safety for once in your peasantry lives!"
(Randy grew a little annoyed at the cheering as his advisor spoke to him inaudibly before he returned his mouth to the mic to be drowned out by all the booing.)
"The fans sure are saying their peace tonight," Jasmynn stated as she heard booing all around the arena.
"Please have some decorum for your king!" The royal advisor yelled as he took the mic from his king as the fans booed even louder.
"They don't like being told their peasants," Greg chirped in with a shrug of his shoulders.
(King Randy took back the microphone as he waited for the boos to die down before raising the mic to his mouth, but the boos started up again as chants of "SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!" rang throughout the arena as King Randy shook his head in disappointment.)
"Real classy…you do realize there is children present?" King Randy asked to the chants he heard in the crowd
(The crowd cheered for themselves as King Randy walked around the ring seeing all the male fans boo him with thumbs down and the ladies being vocal as ever as well.)
"It doesn't make a difference," Randy began. "It never makes a difference with peasants like you squalling on and on about things out of your control. It doesn't matter what any of you think, because I went into wXw where I defeated both of those lingering pests and I brought home gold that is precious to those that lay their eyes on it."
("Ride is the Valkyries" by Robert Wagner)
(The crowd erupted into cheers as the old veteran known as Lars Ostberg came out on stage wearing an orange t-shirt with a silhouette of him holding up a large dumbbell with one hand with 'OLD GLORY' in bold white across the top. He also wore red trunks and red boots with a gold trim as he smiled to the crowd. He came down waving to and slapped fives with the fans.)
"It's Lars Ostberg! He's a original veteran from the territory days pigging back off his dad's legacy," Russ stated.
"He and Hans were the biggest tag team you would ever see in NWA and WCW," Greg added. "They took on the nWo, but also went up against other greats like Ric Flair, Sting, Arn Anderson, Jimmy Sunka, Roddy Piper, Bret Hart and even our commissioner."
(Lars smiles brightly and grabbed a microphone from a producer ringside as he went up the steel steps and helped himself in the ring staring down Randy. The crowd started cheering "THANK YOU, LARS!/WELCOME BACK! THANK YOU, LARS!/WELCOME BACK! THANK YOU, LARS!/WELCOME BACK!" as the legend soaked it all in and hung onto the top rope.)
"The crowd is coming alive for Lars! They are on their feet!" Jasmynn exclaimed as she had to applaud it all.
"Thank you, everyone! Thank you very much!" Lars exclaimed as the crowd cheered and clapped for him as he walked around the ring.
"Okay, okay, yes, have your moment of fame and head back to the back so we can get this over with. The nursing home will surely escort you back to your room," Randy insulted as the crowd turns back to booing him massively.
"Ya see, that's the kinda attitude that gets you kicked in the hiney, son. I have had plenty of people tell me that I'm too old to go any longer and I'm past by glory days, but wrestling is my passion and I'm looking up to that sky with my daddy beaming with pride as I realized my dream and I'm helping my daughter continue that legacy. You would do well to respect your elders," Lars retorted back to the king.
"It's old fossils like you that ruin it for everyone else. You can't handle the younger and better generation stealing the spotlight. It's no longer 1980, grandpa, so scooch back to the retirement home where your old ass frankly belongs!" Randy exclaimed with a smirk.
"I've met a lot of people like you, Randy. Belittling others to get ahead in the business and going in it for the fame or the gold in this case. You shamefully represent that title with nothing, but disgrace and not to mention Europe as a whole. That country is your proud home and you should set a better example by being a better human being," Lars spat.
"You think I care about these peasants or what they think? I'm bloody King Randy' They should be bowing for their forgiveness as I'm not a very generous king," Randy boasted.
"No one should be bowing, but you should be more modest. Humility is a kind gesture and I understand it's frowned upon now, but back in the territory days, respect is all we had in this squared circle. We respected each other as much as we wanted to rip each other's heads off. I've won and lost to some great people, but I always admired their abilities in this ring, because they represented the sport with great honor. Something this new generation could care to learn," Lars explained as the crowd cheered very wildly for that speech.
"Okay, okay, you obviously came out here for a reason other than to bore me with a lecture so please just get to the point," Randy ordered.
"The point is…you represent shamefully, Randy. That title needs a true champion to honor it while wearing it and I couldn't stand by letting you talk down these people. People that would love the chance to show you some manners. I may be in my old age counting down the days until I can't go no more, but I will stand up to you even if it happens only this once," Lars explained.
"So you want a shot at my title? After these years of being in the ring, I've never met a man more stupid than you. An old timer versus the king? Is that what you peasants want?" Randy asked to the crowd as the fans started cheering their hearts out as Lars hyped them up.
"They want it! I want it! All we need is the contract to confirm it!" Lars explained as the crowd cheered even louder for the match idea.
(The royal advisor grabbed the contract and the pen beside it as he began signing King Randy's name on the dotted line which the king nodded. The royal advisor handed over the contract to Lars as he proudly took it also signing his name on the dotted line which made it all official. However, Randy hit Lars in the head with his scepter as Lars went into the upper left corner as Randy attacked the head and back of the old timer.)
"And in true douchebag fashion, this coward of a king attacks his opponent when he can't save it for the match," Greg complained.
(Lars pushes Randy away as the king slipped over the conference table and the crowd cheered Lars on as the veteran hit an elbow to the head of the royal advisor, who tried clonking Lars's head with the clipboard. Lars hits a Big Boot taking down the advisor as Randy escapes outside with his title running to the ramp as the veteran looks over at Randy with a big glare. Lars rips his shirt open and throws it down before picking up the advisor putting him through the table table with a Spinebuster making the crowd go wild!)
("Ride of the Valkyries" by Richard Wagner)
"What a match we are going to have now! Lars Ostberg returns to the ring to fight King Randy for the Unified World Wrestling Championship after accusing King Randy of shamefully talking down to everyone," Russ explained.
"This is our main event going into Night 1 at the biggest waterfall in the world and unfortunately for our so-called king, he's getting a reality check from one true legend with a heart of gold. It's about damn time I say," Greg added.
"Still to come tonight, though, Preston wants to teach someone else like our world champion a lesson as the Television Champion meets the undefeated Jason David Frank later on tonight," Jasmynn announced.
A graphic showed Jason posing shirtless with his USPW World Heavyweight Championship being held over his left shoulder as Preston holds the USPW Television Championship close to him with Viktor and Connor Chaos, the Apocalyptic Brothers, posing with their arms crossed behind him.
"Last week, Preston utilized the debut of Viktor and Connor to weasel his way through to the Television Championship. He robbed the company and is holding the title hostage!' Greg complained.
"Not to mention that Jason fell to all three men when he tried to save Connor Gates from meeting a terrible fate. I'm sure Jason will get the last laugh tonight," Russ added.
"We also have the main event as Logan Gage and Ryan Brown finally settle the score in a Last Man Standing match. These two are sure to go all around the arena trying to put the other out of commission," Jasmynn announced.
A graphic shows both Logan and Ryan's foreheads touching as the words 'LAST MAN STANDING' appeared on the screen with the crowd cheering as they were shown on the titantron.
"Ryan fell a little short after he and Orange Cassidy lost with a Spear by Logan taking advantage after Shawn Spears attacked Ryan ringside," Russ stated.
"That guy should've kept this whole invasion crap out of that ordeal. AEW is really starting to get under our nails and scratch all the wrong places for me," Greg added.
(The Swagger Boys were preparing backstage as Tanner popped open a cooler and brought out two Buzz Sodas as he opened his while passing one to Ryan. They cheers and started drinking their first sips instantly feeling the the effects of the soda starting to take place.)
"I don't know what's better man…these killer drinks or the fact we get another shot for those tag titles," Tanner stated.
"Titles we should already have in our grasp right now," Ryan added as he pointed to his partner.
"That's correct and those oVe dumbasses are in this as well so I think it's time we give them a little payback for messing with our main event spot just to turn it into their own circus," Tanner declared as he started drinking again.
"Oh, we'll get to them, but don't forget we also have the Outlaws to contend with and the Bloodline, who we get to pay back for embarrassing us when it should've been an easy win," Ryan added.
"We cam stop those drunk cowboys no problem. I mean, did you see them get squashed by William in the cage? It can't be that hard to stunt them out of the match. I'm also looking forward to paying the Bloodline back as well since they didn't deserve those tag team titles," Tanner added.
"Then let's get the job done and show the fans what Los Angeles boys can really do," Ryan stated as the boys chugged their beers before crushing the cans.
Commercial Break…
("Bottoms Up" by Brantley Gilbert)
(The crowd starts cheering loudly as Sammy and Nick make their way out wearing the normal brown cowboy hats, red sleeveless jackets, black boots and they wore matching red trunks with their last names on the back in bold black lettering. They started tipping their hats to the crowd as they head down the ramp.)
"The following contest is a Fatal 4 Way Tag Team Match set for one-fall and it is to determine the #1 Contenders to the USPW Global Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, from Nashville, Tennessee, weighing in at a total combined weight of 455 lbs. Sammy Moonshine and Nick Rollins, Bottoms Up Outlaws!" Richard announced.
"These boys are true underdogs and they got the support on CageZone fighting for the tag team titles," Russ stated.
"A tough effort for them, but the Bloodline's enforcer got the better of them and they are getting one more shot to prove themselves. Let's see if they can get the job done," Greg added.
(Nick rolls into the ring as Sammy takes the steps up and comes in through the ropes as Nick climbs the lower right corner throwing his hat into a group of female fans.)
("Anti-You" by Blue Stahli)
(The crowd turned to booing both Swagger Boys as Tanner wore a backwards red Los Angeles Angels cap, his usual black leather jacket, white tights with 'Swagger' on the back in bold red print, and black boots. Ryan wore sunglasses, his black leather jacket, black tights with 'Fawles' in bold red print on the back, and red boots. They started passing Buzz Sodas from their handheld cooler before they headed down the ramp.)
"Their opponents, first, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at a total combined weight of 478 lbs., Tanner Swagger and Ryan Fawles, the Swagger Boys!" Richard announced.
"What these men won't do for a title match? I swear that's all they bitch about," Greg complained.
"Ryan and Tanner believe they have been cheated out of the titles ever since their encounter with William on the first CageZone episode and they are wanting some pay back tonight to become the men going into Niagara Brawls against the Lucha Bros. for the belts," Jasmynn added.
(Ryan and Tanner berate the cowboys in the ring mocking them by doing their own cowboy walks and mocking the country accent as the Outlaws shout at them to knock it off before the lights go out.)
"O…V…E! OHIO VERSUS EVERYTHING!"
(The lights return back on as Jake Crist and Madman Fulton appear before everyone on the ramp with Jake wearing a dark blue tank top, baggy black tights with a fuzzy 'C' on each leg, and black boots as he sticks his tongue out excited to play. Fulton pushes back his dreadlocks wearing a black tank top and normal black tights with black boots.)
"Representing Ohio Versus Everything, the team of Jake Crist and Madman Fulton!" Richard announced.
"Well, here they are, Ohio Versus Everything and the two teams in the ring have a bone to pick with each man since they costed the Outlaws and Swagger Boys shots at the tag titles previously," Russ stated.
("My Last Breath" by Evanescence)
(The countdown started down from 5 to 1 as the numbers went back up rapidly as Jonathan Steele comes out in his normal hoodie with William behind in the same attire from last week's CageZone. Jonathan wears orange tights this time with three sliver diamonds going down each leg and white boots as they walk through the smoke and Jonathan tore away his hood letting the golden sparkle shower begin.)
"Representing the Bloodline, weighing in at a total combined weight of 512 lbs., the team of "The Instant Classic" Jonathan Steele and William Ashworth!" Richard announced before he left the ring to get out of the way.
"These boys survived the longest for almost a half hour in the cage with five other teams and they almost pitched a shut out," Jasmynn reminded.
"They got blindsided by Lucha Bros. after Rey rolled William up to secure victory, but both men are looking to get one more shot at getting the titles back," Russ added.
(Jonathan took off the hoodie revealing his "Instant Fact I'm A Classic" blue shirt as he and William ran down the ramp getting inside the ring starting to go after the other teams as the bell starts ringing.)
Jonathan hits elbows straight to the heads of Fulton and Crist before sending Crist straight to the south end outside. Nick helped with Fulton as both men whipped the large oVe member off the south side ropes, but Fulton came back with a double shoulder tackle sending both men down. Sammy and William handles the Swagger Boys with punches to Tanner and Ryan respectively before Sammy gets Ryan in the upper right corner hitting elbows getting the smaller member in a sitting position. William sends Tanner over the top rope near the ramp as Sammy tells him to whip him into the corner. William obliges getting Sammy in the lower left corner and whipping him to hit a knee to Ryan in the corner. However, Fulton grabs Sammy from behind and chucks him over to the north end outside as Sammy hits the barricade before Fulton and William meet in the middle.
"What a destructive start to this match as Fulton causes chaos to about three people and now he meets a man of his caliber," Greg stated.
Fulton yells in William's face and chops the chest, but William comes back with a Headbutt to Fulton. He whips Fulton off the east end ropes before trying for a Big Boot, but Fulton grabbed the right boot and pushes William to the canvas before hitting a Jumping Splash to the big man. Jake gets in his corner and gets tagged in before Jake climbs the upper right corner as Fulton drags William's body over. Jake jumps hitting a Diving Double Foot Stomp and then hooks the right leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but William kicked out at 2.5!
Everyone started climbing onto the apron staying in their corners as Jonathan hypes William up to get him back in the game. Jake gets William up hitting knees to the head and laughing about it hitting elbows down on the back, but William hits a big slap to the chest of Jake before he hits a Sidewalk Slam on the crazy person. William grabs Jake by the throat whipping him off the north end ropes before hitting a Big Boot on the rebound and then tagging Jonathan in as the Instant Classic hits a few elbow drops to the chest of Jake.
"Jonathan striking down Jake with those devastating elbows after William used his strength to his ability," Russ observed.
Tanner tried reaching out to tag himself in, but Jonathan teased him as the crowd laughed, but Jake hits a Roundhouse Kick to the distracted Instant Classic before hitting a Swinging Neckbreaker bringing Jonathan down on the mat. Jake then gets Jonathan up whipping him off the south end ropes, but Jonathan reversed trying for a Superkick, but Jake rolls through hitting his own Superkick and then a Spin Kick to the chin making Jonathan spit out before Jake hits a Bridging Tiger Suplex.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Ryan hits a Flying Elbow Drop at 2.4!
Jake holds his chest as Tanner tags the back of the oVe member getting a little argument in before the ref started counting Jake out. Tanner gets in hitting knees on the grounded Jonathan as the Instant Classic holds his head. Tanner gets Jonathan up before he hits a Snap Elbow Strike to the head before William tagged the back coming in and dodges a clothesline before hitting a Chokeslam to Tanner. William then gets Tanner up throwing him into the upper right corner hitting slaps down on the bare chest ala Big Show and he does it three times more times getting the crowd's support before tagging in Nick as William goes back to Jonathan. Nick kicks Tanner down in the corner before backing up and running to hit a knee to Tanner in the corner.
"Tanner getting the knee to the cheek as the Outlaws take control of this match after William let them have their fun," Jasmynn observed.
Tanner slips out to the outside near the announce table as Nick stars running the west end ropes before going for a Flying Crossbody, but Fulton caught him mid-air before throwing him down onto Tanner as both boys go over the announce table to the seats. The crowd booed Fulton as Jonathan gets in running to hit a Spear to Fulton off the apron to the outside as Fulton's back cracks on the padding! The crowd cheered chanting "HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" as Jonathan hyped himself up, but Jake hit a Rolling Senton off the apron getting a good pop from the crowd as well. The referee starts the count as the two legal competitors are outside as Sammy jumps the middle rope hitting a Springboard Crossbody outside towards both oVe members taking them down onto the floor. Ryan then runs to the lower right corner beginning to climb it as William gets in going over to Ryan, but Fawles kicks William away.
"Ryan looking for a big move and he's not going to let William ruin it for him," Russ stated.
Ryan kicked William square in the nose as everyone starts getting to their feet, but William hits an elbow to Ryan's head before balling up the left fist hitting a KO Punch to Ryan as the smaller man dived back first straight into Sammy, Nick, Fulton, Jake, and Tanner taking out all five men on the outside! Jonathan grabs Tanner and shoves him in before getting Nick as well as the ref counted to 9 before Nick gets shoved in breaking the count. William tags himself in on Tanner's back as he gets Nick up grabbing the throat, but Nick kicks the gut not going down that easily before hitting a Jumping Double Knee Facebreaker. William gets stunned before Nick runs the south end to the north end ropes hitting a Running Bulldog before covering William.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Jake gets up tagging himself into the match.
"Jake managing to get the tag at the last possible moment and Nick is furious, but he gets a chance for revenge," Russ stated.
William gets rolled out by Fulton as Jake gets in dodging a punch to the head from Nick before hitting multiple slaps to Nick's chest crazily. Nick holds his chest as Jake whips the cowboy off the east end ropes before hitting a Spinning Heel Kick taking Rollins down. Jake gets up and brings Nick with him as he tags in Fulton before lifting Nick on his shoulders then passing him off on Fulton's shoulders then grabbing the neck hitting a Neckbreaker/Sit-Out Powerbomb combo as the crowd boos! Jonathan gets in the ring as Jake tries for a Spin Kick, but Jonathan ducks down lifting Jake on his shoulders tossing him to the floor below. Ryan at the same time hops on the south end top rope hitting a Springboard Knee Strike to Fulton into Jonathan hitting a Snap DDT to the big man.
"Ryan and Jonathan giving Fulton a brief teamwork after Nick gets rattled with an oVe double move," Greg stated.
Sammy tags the knee of Nick becoming the legal man and sending his partner to the outside as Ryan and Jonathan get into a punching war. Sammy gets in waiting for both boys to stop as Jonathan hits a nasty forearm to the head just as Ryan turns into Sammy for a Superkick. Ryan goes down as Jonathan runs towards Sammy, but the cowboy gets Jonathan up hitting Keep it Down (Michinoku Driver) as he bridges the pin, but the referee breaks it up immediately reminding Sammy that Jonathan isn't legal yet in this match. Fulton gets to his feet as Sammy gets up heading towards the crazy man, but Fulton catches him with a Falling Clothesline. Fulton then grabs Sammy up hitting a Sit-Out Chokebomb before pinning Sammy with a matchbook pin.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but William breaks it up at 2.6!
"William with the save as this match continues and Fulton is getting mad which is what you never want a psycho to be," Russ stated.
William then hits Fulton in the head multiple times before whipping the Madman off the east end ropes before trying for a Big Boot, but Fulton just charges with another Falling Clothesline. Tanner then tags himself in as Fulton argues with him and the referee, but the official counts the legal tag made as Tanner mocks Fulton before the LA boy laughs getting Sammy up pitching for the end called L.A. Strike (Wristlock DDT) as he connects the move before hooking both legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Jonathan kicked the back of Tanner at 2.8!
Tanner grabbed his head almost having the win before getting in Jonathan's face about breaking up the count as the referee tries getting between them. Jake climbs the lower right corner waiting for both men to turn around before jumping hitting a Double Diving Cutter on both men. Jake drags Sammy by the feet over to his corner tagging himself in before Jake measures Tanner hitting a Superkick then a Soin Kick followed by a Tiger Suplex to bridge the pin.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as Jake laughs maniacally.
"Here are your winners and the #1 Contenders for the USPW Global Tag Team Championship, Jake Crist and Madman Fulton!" Richard announced.
"Just when you thought this group couldn't get more dangerous, they put themselves on the top of the food chain," Russ stated.
"Jonathan and William were looking forward to a clash with the Lucha Brothers, but it wasn't meant to be as oVe take this win to the bank," Greg added.
(Jake runs around the ring all excited as Madman slaps fives with him plus a Headbutt as the crowd boos both men while they signal to Lucha Brothers that a reunion is happening very shortly.)
(Backstage, Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix are wearing normal street clothes with their Global Tag Team Titles over their shoulders as they saw the maniacs to deal with at Niagara Brawls. They do a brief talk with each other about strategy as they have handled oVe before in Impact, but they were likely to be on a whole other scale this time around.)
"As we see Rey and Pentagon Jr. discuss their strategy for their old rivals, we still have Preston and Jason for tonight in a Champion vs. Champion clash. Preston became our first ever Television Champion thanks to the Apocalyptic Brothers debuting to take out Cody Fireheart and Connor Gates. There should be no love lost between these two here tonight," Russ stated.
(Jason is seen doing high kicks to a punching bag from Round One Boxing as Jason did some brief dodges like he was a facing someone already, but Viktor blindsided him from behind with an Axe Handke to the back while Connor kept him down with straight punches to the face. Jason tried fighting back, but both men started kicking him down as Preston walked into frame being accompanied by major boos as he wore his attire from last week while he held the Television Championship on his right shoulder. He kneeled down close to Jason and smacked his face as he brought his head closer.)
"If you think it was going to be easy getting to me, you were sorely mistaken. I hope you can make it," Preston stated before he did one last kick to Jason's head before walking off with his crew.
Commercial Break…
(Backstage, the cameras show Brutus Beekcake with his scissors in hand as he gets stops by Leslie Knuckle walking by hoping for an interview.)
"Oh hello, Mr. Beefcake," Leslie greeted with a blush of embarrassment. "Mind if I get a word with you for a moment?"
"Why sure…what would you like to ask?" Brutus asked.
"So, you cut some of Jungle Boy's hair last week and he's not really happy at all so my question to you is do you plan to cut him straight bald?" Leslie asked.
"Jungle Boy is in an interesting case, because being in the jungle can't be good for your hair or your body structure," Brutus replied. "I promise to myself that when I beat him at the biggest waterfall in existence that he's gonna get the much needed haircut he deserves."
"That's sure a promise if I have ever seen one, but I have to ask if you are ready to take him on considering your age and your semi-retirement run here in USPW?" Leslie asked.
"I may be old, missy, but the barber never steps out of his shop until his last dying breath. Jungle Boy called me out last week for the hair loss, but I'll be sure to reunite it with the clumps that will be coming off and dropping to the floor. Listen here, son, you got a death wish for that fuzzy bush you hair and I got just the right medicine to give it new life. We'll see your reaction when you see yourself in the mirror," Brutus explained as he looked down the camera.
(Going back ringside, Russ, Greg, and Jasmynn finished watching the interview on their smaller screens before gathering their papers to start the next talking point.)
"Strong words from Brutus despite him being at a numbers disadvantage. He's got Luchasaurus and Marko Stunt that will be accompanying Jungle Boy which could bring the favorability out of his hands," Greg stated.
"Like he said, the barber ain't leaving the shop yet and he could very well add Luchasaurus and Marko to his list of customers to put in the chair," Jasmynn added.
"Which reminds us that Niagara Brawls will emanate from both the Ontario and New York locations between the border a week from Sunday. We have so much action set for both nights. It's gonna be a good showing," Russ explained as he rubbed his hands together.
"Well, let's take a close look at what to expect for both nights of the show," Greg announced.

"We have quite the list ahead of us come the two nights as the NWA and wXw let their titles be defended on our turf," Jasmynn stated.
"Don't forget our own titles on the line especially with Ivan and Marcus with the former NBA star wanting to avenge losing from Rush Hour. When Ivan made him tap out regardless and injured his left arm," Greg stated.
"Or what about Jonathan and William finally going toe-to-toe with The Swagger Boys?" Russ asked, "The match we were suppose to get on the first episode of CageZone, but Jonathan got injured before the match so William had to win the belts himself. Tanner then scored a pinfall over William so this will settle the score."
("Fixed at Zero"'by Versamerge)
(The crowd started booing as Fleur Bleue made her way out in her natural attire ready to compete for another shot for the Wildcat Championship. She cracks her knuckles coming down the ring and scoffs off the fans.)
"The following contest is a Triple Threat Match to determine the #1 Contender for the USPW Wildcat Championship! Introducing first, from Lyon, France, Fleur Bleue!" Richard announced.
"Fleur looking for one more shot against Tornado after suffering a big loss at Rush Hour. I guess her time to bloom wasn't then," Greg stated.
"Regardless, she controlled that match until halfway through and she has almost won on several occasions," Jasmynn added.
(Fleur came ringside as Kennedy snuck her away from the crowd grabbing Fleur to shove her into the steel steps. Kennedy got cheers for that grabbing Fleur sending her inside as Haleigh rolled out from under the ring executing a flawless plan.)
"It's Kennedy and Haleigh! They planned this out!" Russ exclaimed.
"Can you blame them, honestly? They have a shot for the title and no one is gonna pass it up. Even if you have to take a shortcut to get there," Greg stated.
The referee had no other choice, but to ring the bell as Kennedy gets Fleur up shoving her into the west end ropes before hitting a Samoan Drop. Haleigh then wrapped her legs around Fleur's neck and started pulling back on the arms as the French gardener choked verbally submitting to the Beachside Brawler as the ref had to audibly hear it. Fleur nods her head confirming her submission as the referee calls for the bell quickly.
("California Gurls" by Katy Perry ft. Snoop Dogg)
"Here is your winner by way of submission and the #1 Contender for the USPW Wildcat Championship, Haleigh Grant!" Richard announced.
(Haleigh got her right hand raised hugging Kennedy as the couple kisses for their plan working before Haleigh celebrated with the fans.)
"She's a very devious schemer," Russ acknowledged.
"But it's way to get to the finish line even if you have to cut corners, but I'm sure the storm passing through will put an end to every injustice this couple puts up," Greg added.
(Fleur felt her neck as she slapped the mat getting totally screwed out of a title shot as Kennedy and Haleigh leave the ring holding hands while going up the ramp.)
(Jason David Frank is back in a medical office holding his neck as a doctor takes his blood pressure and writes down on a clipboard.)
"That was a pretty nasty beatdown, but nothing looks inherently wrong so I think you'll be okay for competition," The doctor noted.
"Thanks, doc. I can't wait to pay those bastards back." Jason stated as he hopped off the doctor's table and grabbed his title.
(Jason went to exit the office, but Connor and Viktor came from behind the corner attacking the world champion as Preston watched on from the shadows. Viktor hit elbows to the back as Connor held Jason down for his partner to thrash around on him as the crowd audibly boos all three men. However, Connor Gates comes in with a steel chair banging it off Viktor's head and then sending it into Chaos's gut before hitting the back. Preston gets involved as they start a punching war before Gates sends Preston into a wooden crate. Connor tries to hit a knee to Preston, but the anti-hero rolls away leaving Connor to hit the crate with his knee. Preston punches down Gates, but Gates tackles him punching the head before security guards started separating the two.)
"You didn't think I was going to take it lying down, huh?" Gates asked.
"This wasn't your fight to get involved with!" Preston yelled.
(Connor fought off two guards, but a third held him up against the wall while two others did the same to Preston as referees scolded both men to clam it down. The Apocalyptic Brothers threw down referees and pushed away security to get Preston away from the scene as the anti-hero raised his Television Championship at Gates while the Wales native tried getting past everyone, but they kept everyone separated.)
"Well, I guess we won't be getting the champion vs. champion match this evening due to that attack. Before we proceed to our main event, we just want to give a quick announcement that we will be flying halfway across the country to be in beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada," Russ announced.
"It's USPW in Sin City where every match will be determined by the spin of a wheel and we have a good show headlining next week for this special occasion," Greg added.
"We have a preview for Niagara Brawls as Jonathan Steele takes on Ryan Fawles in a grudge match as Ryan has been blasting the Bloodline on social media ever since he and Tanner have lost their shot at the tag tram titles," Jasmynn explained.
"And just announced…Jason David Frank teams with Connor Gates and Cody Fireheart to take on Preston and the Apocalyptic Brothers in their debut match. Gates takes on Preston for the Television Championship while JDF faces Cody in a rematch for the world title, but the MMA legend wants to leave no stone unturn before a big fight," Greg explained.
"We also have Marcus Sloan returning to action against AEW superstar Jimmy Havoc making his USPW debut. Jimmy is known for being one of the most extreme British superstars out there so Marcus has some work cut out for him, but he has muscles on his side. Who is gonna crack first?" Russ asked.
("Officer of the Day March" by United States Marine Band)
(The crowd booed as Logan comes out basking in all the hate as he wore his red varsity football jacket, a New York Giants football jersey with '01' on the back in bold white, blue jeans, and white sneakers as he also had black rectangles painted on his cheeks.)
"The following contest is your Firestorm main event of the evening and it is a Last Man Standing Match! The only way to win is by one person unable to answer the count of 10! Introducing first, from Albany, New York, weighing 267 lbs., Logan Gage!" Richard announced.
"These two are finally set for one-on-one action as they will most likely go all the way around this arena fighting their hearts out," Russ stated.
"Ryan has been looking forward to beating some respect back into Logan after the football jock cost him his tournament match last month," Greg added.
(Logan goes up the steel steps and came through the ropes from the west side beating his chest as he took off his jacket. The fans through red, blue, orange, yellow, and purple streamers into the ring and off the ropes as Logan stares ahead at the entrance ramp.)
("Firestarter" by The Prodigy)
(The crowd cheered loudly as Ryan came out wearing a green sleeveless shirt with a fireball emblem on the front as he also wore brown trunks and boots. He came down slapping fives with fans and he glared at Logan.)
"His opponent, from Santa Fe, New Mexico, weighing 195 lbs., he is Ryan "Fireball" Brown!" Richard announced.
"Look at that face of intensity on Ryan's face…he is ready," Russ stated.
"Logan has been a thorn in his side ever since that first episode of CageZone so where this ends is up to these two maniacs about to blow," Jasmynn added.
(Ryan came down slowly taking off his shirt as Logan yelled at him to get in the ring as the referee kept the football jock back. Ryan runs in and then he ducks a clothesline before the bell rings.)
The bell rings officially as Ryan hits a Dropkick to Logan making the jock go back first in the upper left corner. Ryan backs up going to hit a few Corner Clotheslines and gets Logan out whipping him off the north end ropes before he hits a Running Crossbody. Ryan kips up hitting a Standing Moonsault as the referee couldn't start the count yet and the Fireball played to the crowd as they cheered him on with their support. Ryan then goes to the south end apron as he waits for Logan to rise as the jock gets to his feet before Ryan tries for a slingshot move, but he gets caught and downed with a Lifting Reverse STO. The crowd turned to booing as Logan kicks Ryan down and then pushes him into the upper right corner kicking him down.
"Logan starting off strong after Ryan got out of the starting gate with a little bit of an advantage thanks to speed," Russ observed.
Logan gets Ryan in the corner so he can whip him into the other corner, but Ryan lifts himself over Logan backflipping before he hits a Dragonrana impressing the crowd. Logan rolls up in the upper right corner turning around before Ryan hits a Forearm Smash to the head and then he backs up going to hit a Corner Dropkick making Logan groan. Logan then came out hitting a Release Knee Strike to the head as Ryan's head yanked back before he got hit with a Powerslam. Logan then hits the head of Ryan with severe punches while he trash talked his opponent before he hit an elbow to the head. The ref started the count as Ryan rolled out at the count of 3 and the jock came out the south end following the Fireball.
"Logan getting a bit more hostile now as Ryan sneaks to the outside area trying to regain what momentum he can salvage," Greg stated.
Logan chuckled to himself as he bounced Ryan's head off the barricade and then the ring post as Ryan escapes to the ramp. Logan tries for a Shoulder Charge, but Ryan sidesteps Logan so he lands shoulder first into the barricade. Ryan then hits a Superkick taking down Logan with the referee leaving the ring starting the count and the Fireball getting some rest while Logan holds his shoulder. The referee gets to 6 as Logan uses the barricade to get up to his feet, but Ryan hits an Enzurgiri and Logan spits out to the side going up the ramp. Ryan went to the ring and looked under the apron for weapons as he grabbed a kendo stick raising it high coming up the ramp starting to wail on Logan getting him down, but continuing to break the stick.
"Ryan coming back with revenge and it must feel good to use the kendo stick," Russ stated.
Ryan then let the referee count as he leaned against the barricade and the jock started getting to his feet before the ref counted to 7. Ryan goes after Logan, but Logan hits a Discuss Clothesline laying out Ryan on the ramp. Logan gets Ryan up hitting a Headbutt to the smaller wrestler knocking him down as the referee starts the count with the crowd booing Logan as he looks down at Ryan. The referee gets to 7 before Ryan is dragged up and shoved down to ringside before Logan goes for a weapon bringing out a sledgehammer as the jock smiles with glee before hitting the head of Ryan making the crowd boo louder.
"A straight shot from Logan as the crowd is making their opinions be known," Jasmynn stated.
The referee started the count as Logan talked down to Ryan and kicked him a few times making the referee restart the count a couple times. Ryan managed to get up at 8 using the barricade as fans touched his back helping him through their support and Logan tried for another hit with the sledgehammer, but Ryan went low kicking the crotch of Logan. Logan bent over dropping the hammer as Ryan ran jumping up the apron hitting a Pele Kick knocking Logan down on his hands and knees. He then hits a Drive-By Kick knocking Logan on his back before he gets hyped up and gets back onto the apron hitting a Five-Star Frog Splash off the apron!
"Frog Splash! The five stars are coming to Ryan and he's making the most of it!" Russ stated as he saw Ryan get to his feet.
The referee started the count as Ryan waited patiently, but Logan got up at 9 just in the nick of time, but he gets a Superkick to the chin. Ryan then hits a Bicycle Knee Strike knocking the jaw of Logan before he tries for Rollthrough 25 (S.O.S), but Logan pushes Ryan back and he hits a Spear to the indy darling! Both men are down as the referee starts the count on both of them as Logan sits near the apron breathing heavily as Ryan lays spread eagle on the floor sweating profusely. Logan gets up at 5 and gets Ryan back into the ring before climbing in himself before setting himself up in the lower right corner waiting for Ryan to come up. Ryan gets to his feet stumbling a little before Logan runs hitting a second Spear much to the horror of the crowd!
"Two Spears in a row and that's gotta end the match right there. As much as Ryan has pushed through tonight, it might not be enough to match Logan's determination for victory," Russ stated.
Logan boasted to the crowd as the referee starts the count and Ryan didn't seem to be moving as the crowd clapped for him to rise. The referee counted one by one as he eventually got to 10 just as Ryan stirred to the side making the bell ring.

"Here is your winner, Logan Gage!" Richard announced.
"Well, here's something else he won't shut up about," Greg complained.
"Ryan got his shots in and while he was more impressive here tonight, Logan knew where to strike and it paid off in the end. Could this be the end between both of these men for real?" Russ wondered.
(Logan then went straight to attacking Ryan down as the crowd booed more and more punching the head. The referee backed him up as he stared down at Ryan while the indy star coughed and the official checked up on him. Logan then exited the ring as the crowd massively booed him, but he wasn't satisfied entering the ring getting Ryan up whipping him into the north end ropes getting a third Spear in as the referee scolded him for doing that! Logan exited the ring then chuckling to himself as he made his way up the ramp and the crowd booing him out of the building as he waves them off. Ryan coughed and sputtered as the official checked in on him and the last thing to air is the USPW logo before the screen fades to black.)
