Year 2, Month 4, Week 3 (from Burbank, CA)
GPW Wrestling Storm 11
The Exterminators (Dale Gribble & Bob Duncan) vs. Sub Club's The Young Himalayans (Bhutan & Nepal)
-The Exterminators against The Young Himalayans, who have been eager to get more matches under their noses. The Sub Club have been hoping to get back into the GPW consciousness. Dale Gribble and Bob Duncan want to keep up their momentum in this division. Nepal & Bhutan are mountain climbing high-fliers who love the taste for danger in the ring. Bhutan and Nepal flip around...and yell, "TOO SPICYYY!" while The Exterminators just get spicier. But The Exterminators hit Total Extermination on Bhutan for the 1-2-3.
Great Britain vs. Jason Riggins (local talent)
-Great Britain defeats Jason Riggins easily, but it's after the match that we have to focus on...because Butch the Cat confronts UK from out of NOWHERE. UK asks him just WHY and HOW he is even here...Bullet Club was ELIMINATED from GPW. They CAN'T come back. Bitch declares, "BC is out...but not me...I can stay in GPW, and I'm excited. Because I have someone I want you to MEET." The Punk raises an eyebrow, slowly making his way towards Butch BUT GETS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY A MOUSE WEARING A GREEN BOWLER HAT AND A YELLOW SWEATER! "SAY HELLO TO MY NEW BUDDY...MUSCLES MOUSE! You think you're hardcore? ...I'd like to see you TRY and compete with US..." And with that, Muscles picks up Great Britain and lifts him over his head...AND CHUCKS HIM OUT OF THE RING! He SMASHES onto the ground, writhing and twitching about...while Muscles flexes and wipes his sweat to flick it on the body of GB.
Nick Leo/Nick-tan w/Denise Chanel vs. Pick Boy (local talent...?)
-A tune-up match for Nick...against Pick Boy? Former Nickelodeon U-Pick mascot? ...Why? ...Regardless, Nick-tan defeats Pick Boy as we get an inset promo. (Nick: I took DK to his limit in the first month...I put in a lot of work to get here. My next step is King & Queen of GPW with Denise. Nick & Disney Channel working together for a common goal! ; Denise: We're winning King & Queen because we're hungrier than anyone else in this tournament. The crowd wants NICK...DISNEY...going to Hailstorm and competing against the BEST man and BEST woman in GPW."
MAIN EVENT: Super Luigi w/Princess Daisy vs. Rodger Aarons (local talent)
-Luigi defeats Rodger Aarons, who hit The Discount Double Check taunt before getting The Luigi Screwdriver. Luigi had a promo in the inset, stating: "I let myself down at Fall Brawl...but only because I was CHEATED out of my victory. But it's okay...I'll get back into the big title scene. I HAVE to get back. I just need to find a way to get in...a title belt will be in my future...a WORLD title belt at THAT..."
-.-.-
GPW Meltdown 15: Moment of Clarity
Saitama vs. Pakistan
-Saitama hadn't missed a show or live show since his debut...until last week. Was he hurt from Sephiroth's attack last week? If he was, he didn't show it here. Pakistan runs right into Saitama's right hand for the 1-2-3 (Pakistan figured a rushing strategy would work...it did not). When Alex Trebek...'s friend, Ken Jennings came out to interview Saitama (Trebek busy with other obligations for CCW and, of course, Jeopardy), the champion of champions had but one question. "Saitama I'm only going to give you this one question...but it's going to be a tough one. Do...you...fear...Sephiroth?" Of course Saitama shook his head. He actually felt the opposite.
"Jennings, I actually feel...kind if excited. One of the forgotten big bads of the wrestling world? The guy's a monster. He's a demon...and an angel...because he's given me a heavenly opportunity to really take my training gloves off and go all in on an opponent. He's going to give me my biggest challenge yet. I only have one request for Sephiroth...see me next week. I'll be waiting. You and I are going to have an excellent battle."
-The Caped Baldy grins, and happily leaves the ring. Saitama could almost be confused for crazy, the way he's going about this challenge. You couldn't tell Saitama that, though. He's trying to get a challenge, and he'll be damned if he misses out on it.
Kevin Interview w/Milly & Tamiya
-Upon the return from break, we're given a look into the world title scene; Milly heads backstage, her own personal camera-girl following her for the scoop. Kevin, of course, was working on his bike in the garage. His bike parked in a car's parking spot, Kevin was screwing in some loose nuts so his bike would stop wobbling. Milly tried to get Kevin's attention...to no avail. Kevin didn't hear her...or didn't care. When Tamiya brings the camera in closer to his face, and we mean close enough to see his nostrils, Kevin turns his head slowly and scowls. "You need something, dorkettes? I'm busy here." Milly asks for an interview (it seems she hadn't pre-planned this, and assumed he would give them a big scoop on the fly), and Kevin blows them off. "Right now? What do you even need to know?" Milly just asks for something big...his opinions on LeBron James...his opinion on how STEVEN would have been his opponent had Frost Bite not attacked. Even down to The Sports Authority and the deal with "L.A."...LeBron's new stable within The Sports Authority.
-Kevin stops using his wrench, and turns to Milly. "You want some big fancy words on how I don't care who I have to face? That I don't care what Frost Bite did to Steven? Is Steven Champion now? No? Then who cares. I Speared Steven to make a statement. He had the belt at the time. Now LeBron has the belt. So I sent a message to him. As for his lackeys? ...I don't give a care about Mike Trout or anyone else. ...Mike Trout can take a fist to the face...and LeBron James can get a Deadhead to the gut. That belt comes home with me. I get what I've worked my butt off for..." Kevin looks into Tamiya's camera now. "LeBron's just a dork with a lucky streak anyway. Now out of my way. I gotta get some food from catering. I'm not on the card, so I couldn't care about the matches. Taking my time to work on my bike."
-Kevin gets up and leaves his bike and the girls, and Milly just roll her eyes and gets up. "What now?" she asks...but when Tamiya motions to her left, Milly looks over...and begins to grin...and gulp. "This COULD be dangerous...so let's hide real quick."
Yaseen Khan and Adam Price w/Dacia Ambrosia vs. Hercules and a Partner of Khan's Choosing
-Khan and Price were this weird new duo that sort of formed out of live shows, but then came to television. Yaseen's been a pretty good midtier talent, and Adam Price was doing well in the lower card. These two had big Month 1s, but they slowly fell down the card as the months went along. But now they're back as a duo, and Yaseen is appreciative of Adam's funding for even bigger coats. Dacia Ambrosia escorts Yaseen out to the ring, while Adam Price flanks them with a wad of cash. Upon getting in the ring, Dacia cracks her knuckles before showing Yaseen a phone...with the selfie feature. Yaseen winks and begins a promo by asking Adam Price about who Hercules is...who does he THINK he is? "This Greek Geek thinking he's the true vision of perfection. I don't care about what he's done in the PAST. He's not relevant TODAY. He's a LOSER today. Hercules vs. Yaseen Khan...ON PAPER, it sounds like a forgone conclusion...Hercules outmuscles Khan...but wrestling is more than brawn. It's BRAINS. I got a LOT of it. TONIGHT I prove it. Because I was given this chance to give Hercules a tag team partner. And-" NOW Hercules comes out with Phil!
-Hercules gets in the ring, and Adam Price decided to throw a wad of money at Herc before he and Yaseen exited the ring. Price, with mic in hand, says, "Hold on, Herc the Jerk, this isn't time to fight us...not YET! We still have your surprise WAITING for you! Your tag team partner was EAGER to team up with you! As a member of the elite, all I do is donate to those who need and want. So I decided to give this person their BIGGEST dream! Yaseen and I decided on...DACIA AMBROSIA!"
-Dacia looked oh so ECSTATIC! She leapt and squealed while celebrating with Yaseen. The trio began to leap into the air while chanting, "YES! YES! YES! YES!"...while the crowd just began booing this trio's games. Hercules shakes his head, just groaning at this display of stupid. Price and Khan get on their apron...and Hercules just takes his place on the apron. Dacia smiles heartily, and she tries to see if Herc wants a turn first. Of course, Hercules decides to get in the ring...Dacia is as trustworthy in this situation as Medusa. As the match goes through, we see Hercules basically wrestling a Handicap Match. Two on one through most of this match...and he does handle it at first. Adam Price spends most of his time in the match getting his tail handed to him...until Yaseen grabs Herc's leg from the outside...and the distraction allows Price to HAMMER Herc in the back of the head! The duo spend the next four minutes controlling the match...and even WHEN Herc FEIGNED tagging Dacia in, she just began flexing...admiring her own arms and fists.
-END MATCH TIME THOUGH: ...Herc DOES make his comeback, and he hammers and pummels BOTH Yaseen and Price! Yaseen stumbles, outside, and Price starts stumbling...and Hercules waiting for him...he wants The Olympic Press-TAG! Dacia tags in! Ambrosia slides in, and the referee tells Hercules to exit the ring. And as the ref focuses on the match, Yaseen LOW BLOWS Hercules and drags him out the ring! Dacia BEGS Adam to fight her! She DEMANDS Adam fight her! Price readies a fist...and Dacia PUSHES Price so hard, he bounces off the ropes...and Price comes back with a REBOUND...
...slap.
-...But it was such a POWERFUL slap (and so slow moving) that it sent her CRASHING onto the mat! Price goes down to the mat, and puts an elbow on Ambrosia for the 1-2-3. Yaseen and Adam celebrate in the ring, and Dacia sits up and shows her excitement for the win. Such a wholesome trio. Hercules feels embarrassed, sitting up and shaking his head. He does clamor for a mic, though. The trio tries to exit the ring, only to be halted by the voice of the demigod.
-"That was really cute, you three. Make a fool of me in the ring. Your games helped you tonight, but they won't help you next week. I hope you didn't think management just gave you a stipulation without giving me something to balance it out. That's pretty crazy. For all that talk about brains, you sure didn't use them. Next week, I get an opponent of my choosing. If I get Yaseen at Concert 2, then I want the lackey before that. Next week, I want Adam Price one...on one. A preview for Khan."
-The trio gulps, knowing they may have gotten themselves stuck in a pickle for next week. Adam Price especially gulped. HERCULES gets him in the ring for one match...and after tonight, Hercules was going to take his frustration out on him.
Velvet House Promo
-In front of a green screen background...a metal screen with "VELVET HOUSE" written in metallic glowing red...Velvet House stares into the camera...hands on her hips. The blonde Russian-American smirks.
-"Peach Creek Ultimate Wrestling never knew how to use me...Northern Carnage Wrestling never could give me enough attention as opposed to Chris...FUSION is where my name grew to become as big as it did...and that's what got me in GPW...and just as before FUSION, attention barely came my way. I was one of the few people last year to have pinned Garnet. I DID beat her. CLEAN. AS. A. WHISTLE. Who else last year can say that outside of Lucia Siycron? I'm one of the best names to never get attention in this business. 'Queen of FUSION' used to be my moniker. I helped MAKE that brand. I'm the star who helped make Amelia McBride a THING. So why is it that it took this long for me to get this title match? It's a joke. But it's a joke I'm willing to end in two weeks. I've thrown Amethyst around like a toy for so long, I got tired of it. Garnet...I want a better target. I want the satisfaction of a successful hunt. I want...a championship. My OWN championship on the major circuit. Your title reign will be terminated, Garnet. And my time's going to finally come. I know the tips to end you. I know how to beat you more than anyone else. ...It's too bad you don't fear me. But that just means you'll learn to fear me soon enough."
The Afterlife w/Dr. Gustave vs. Joel Miller (SWE Rep)
-Afterlife...ONE ON ONE with the SWE mainstay, Joel Miller. Dr. Gustave's charge comes out carrying the skull of Jack Krueger. The Urn, in the hands of Dr. Gustave, is held with care. Joel Miller's always a tough competitor, and Afterlife learned this when he gets punched in rapid succession when the bell rings. Gustave doesn't sweat it. Afterlife goes to overpower Joel, but Joel tries to outspeed and outfox the zombie man. KNEE SMASH! ELBOW SMASH! Down goes Afterlife! Joel gets close with his attacks, but nothing happens. Afterlife kicks out after a Neckbreaker, and then kicks out after a DDT. 1...2-KICKOUT! Joel hits an Elbow to the neck! But when he goes for another one, UPPERCUT takes Joel down! Joel writhes, and gets up for a GERMAN SUPLEX! RELEASE variant sends him flying across the ring! Afterlife was not going to let Joel control this one...
-As the match ends, Joel tries for a valiant comeback. The Afterlife just stifles all of his attempts at a comeback, but he does hit a snag when a kick gets flipped...Joel spins...and GAMENGIRIS the head! The big man stumbles, and Joel Dropkicks him into the near right corner...and then hits the ropes, comes back, and grabs his head as he jumps up...and manages to FLIP Afterlife over with his somersault, FRONT FLIP PILEDRIVING HIM! Now an ENZUIGIRI! ONE...TWO-Afterlife kicks out somehow! Joel sits up, and gets to a knee...wondering just how his Dead Man's Combo (Running Front Flip DDT followed by an Enzuguiri) didn't end him. Afterlife sits RIGHT up and GRABS the neck of Joel...and begins to slowly choke the life out of him...before getting him to his feet...and THE CHOKESLAM! And just to add insult to injury...a lift...a Belly to Belly Piledriver...and he leaps RIGHT into it! Kneeling Belly to Belly Piledriver...that one ends Joel. 1-2-3.
-The Afterlife feigns a pose with Jack's skull...and Dr. Gustave holds the urn up, declaring, "SOON...The Afterlife rises to absolute PROMINENCE." ...All the while, The Kid & The Moonwalker watch this backstage...stoic. What were they thinking?
Kevin Stone Calls Out The Olympic Entourage
-The Women's Tag Team Champions were still sick from their social media sites being trifled with; The Olympic Entourage have done nothing BUT mess with them since the month started. Kevin normally wouldn't get involved with this scene, but he had made an alliance with The Social Network. So he and Stanley Graham teamed up to challenge The OE to come out. Kevin Stone came to the stage to declare he wanted a FIGHT with Michael Phelps. He wanted a match where if he wins, he gets their phones back. "Kerri...Misty...you REALLY want to be 'that team?' That team that needed the opponents handicapped so you could win? Is that really your legacy? If it is, then maybe it's all proof that you're just scared of The Social Network. They're the best women's tag team in GPW...one of the best duos in ALL of GPW...one of the best in the business in general. They've won tag team gold in the old FLARE Pro territory AND tag team gold in THIS company. You wanna prove you're the best? Then how about you show up and give up your phones. You WERE the best women's tag team in GPW...you're not anymore...and you WON'T be if you keep this up. So what's it gonna be? You challenging fairly? Or giving no one but yourself credit for something you couldn't do properly?"
-Do The OE come out? ...Yes they actually do. Kerri and Misty look...almost pensive. Right? They seem fairly into the idea of giving the phones back. "We...we do need to prove ourselves. We do want to give them the chance to prove their mettle...and we want to earn back our titles of best women's tag team here." Kerri tells them They make their ways down the stage...and then stop...
-"...Wait, Kerri...aren't we already former two time champions? What do we have to prove again?" Asked Misty May-Trainor, "...Besides punishment for two wannabes for pretending to sit in thrones that don't belong to them?" And then they turn RIGHT back around! Stanley, incensed, actually RUNS AFTER THEM! Kevin tries chasing after him, BUT GETS SHOULDER BY A SURPRISE PHELPS! Stone hits the ground, and Graham turns around to go check on Stone. M&K grab Stanley by the hair and Double Mat Slam him RIGHT into the steel stage! Phelps, clad in America-themed pants, just STOMPS OUT Stone, whose shenanigans made his title match at Concert 2 turn into a Triple Threat with two hosses instead of one! Phelps mounts Stone, pounding his fist into the head of The Lone Wolf! Blake Stone grabs onto Michael, trying to pull him off of her brother. Kerri and Misty grab her and shove her away, allowing Phelps to grab onto Kevin. The ladies hold up the phones, waving them in his face, with Kerri stating, "They'll NEVER get these back. They're gonna pay what they OWE to US." Stone gets thrown back down by Phelps, who leaps around, waving his arms out for, "AMERICA!" while The OE women make their ways to the back.
Big Time Rush (Kendall, Carlos, & James) vs. Team D.A.N.K. (The Cop Cards [Ian & Max] & Filthy Frank)
-BTR gets a tune-up bout against the former Upset Contenders in The Cop Cards...but to make it a trios bout, they needed an extra. Papa Franku decided to join on in to complete "The Cancer Trio" of YouTube lore. Frank, Ian, & Max were the trio many remembered for their weird antics. But they needed to pull off a team win just to keep their names in the national spotlight. The Cop Cards fought harder than they've fought in a long time. The jokes seemed to be a bit quieter than normal. After that tag team title loss, they really found a way to fire themselves up. But Kendall, Carlos, and James are fighting for respect as well. They have to keep their titles around their waists in two weeks...and they have to free up space for new titles. D.A.N.K. wouldn't make it easy for them, however.
-By the end of the match, Frank had tagged out to Max and actually FLIPPED over the ropes to dive onto James! Frank was NOT the type to do flippy moves, but he seemed almost DESPERATE for a big win here! Ian tags in for Max...and Carlos gets up...SWEET 'N SOUR-CARLOS ACTUALLY DODGES IT BY FLIPPING AND SPINNING IN-BETWEEN THE TWO STRIKES! Carlos lands on his feet and backs into his corner. Kendall tags in, and Carlos dives to Double Shoulder Block Max! He takes him out...while Ian gets THE ROCK BOTTOM! Kendall hooks both legs! ONE...TWO...THREE! Kendall Knight picks up the win, and was pleasantly surprised to see this fight out of Team D.A.N.K. When they aren't just cracking jokes, they are super talented! Of course, Frank was pissed off on the outside. He put his ALL into this one, and they STILL lost. Kendall tries to shake his hand...but Frank just slaps it away and goes back to looking pissed. "Get your hand away from me, media stooge." Kendall just shrugs and goes back to celebrating with his fellow GEMINI Champions. "We hope you guys were watching SUPER close..." Kendall said into the camera with a wink.
Steven Universe Waits for Percy Jackson's Answer
-So the moment of truth had come. Was Percy Jackson going to answer his challenge? Was Percy going to show up tonight and team with Steven? Could we possible see the biggest tag team in GPW history form? Steven Universe came out first to address this huge story with Dendy. When asked by Dendy about the possibility of Percy NOT showing up, Steven just hung his head low. "Well...if he doesn't show up...I'm sure I can find some prideful GPW name to team with me...or maybe I go it alone and fight Frost Bite. But this challenge wasn't just for me. It's for Percy. Because for the longest time, I've heard Percy has little to no care about this company. 'He hates GPW. He hates us. He's just using us.' Did I subscribe to those thoughts? I tried not to. I wanted to give Percy Jackson the benefit of the doubt. Then when this happened, I decided this would be the ULTIMATE test. Would Percy show up and fight for his pride? This company's pride? For respect in the locker-room? Or would he stay silent and go off to do some title defense in Peru or something? Percy, you left UWE because no one gave you respect. You caused this whole stir because you claimed UWE didn't care about your well-being...so you wanted to get back at them. You really wanna be the guy who turns into what he hates? GPW welcomed you with open arms...how about you prove everyone in the back and everyone claiming you're a fake wrong? How about you fight for your new company's pride and help me fight off two jaded employees?"
-Did anyone come out?
-Crowd: PERCY! PERCY! PERCY! PERCY!
-...
-...
-...
-..."It seems...Percy Jackson is either taking his time...or just isn't here," Dendy bluntly stated, "It seems...disappointing. What a wasted opportunity."
-Steven gives the stage a blank stare, emotionless yet still seeming forlorn...wanting for more. "...Yeah. ...What a waste. Percy, if this is how you treat GPW after the hospitality management gave you, then maybe Frost Bite were right about you. But they won't get away with what they did to me regardless of a tag partner. I'm STILL going to call out Frost Bite at The Black Album!" The crowd gives a huge pop for Steven, who continue son, "I'm STILL going to fight them! I'm STILL going to make my voice HEARD! And I'm STILL going to send them PACKING out of GPW if they know what's good for them! This company has NO ROOM for people like that! Jeremy! David! BE READY in two weeks!"
-"I know I'll be."
-Steven SWIFTLY turns around...the crowd POPPING...
-...PERCY JACKSON, OMEGA TITLE ON HIS SHOULDER, COMES OUT TO A GIANT POP! With Ruby Rose, Frank Zhang, and Hazel Lavesque bringing up his rear, Percy makes his way onto the stage. His Percy Jackson t-shirt, only available on his website for merch and touring dates, was bright blue...as bright as Steven's smile. "You CAME!" The former GPW Champ began clapping for The Omega Champion, who just walked right into Steven's face. Percy looks at Universe with a very unenthused look. He didn't seem very excited, or even a little happy.
-"I had touring dates set for Japan...India...Thailand...South Africa...Argentina...Brazil...all over the world. The Omega Champion has to defend all the time. But I actually cancelled those tour dates to be here. To be RIGHT HERE to walk to you...and tell you straight to your face...that you're full of crap, Steven Universe."
-Now that one switched the crowd reaction right to boos for The Omega Champion. Universe's smile began to slowly drop as Percy kept going on..."You're lying to my face if you didn't think of me as a fake with the rest of your roster. You're telling me you didn't side with your roster about me? BS. Steven I know you were jealous as champion. Because I know you thought I was a threat to your title and your moniker of 'face of GPW.' I'm the new face now, Steven. And as face, I tell YOU what to do. Even with a part-time schedule, I run the GPW show now. So let me tell you what you're gonna do..."
-Steven went from excited to annoyed in the span of minutes. But the emotional whiplash would continue from there. "...Next week, we're going to team up against a tag team. An OPEN CHALLENGE of sorts to anyone in the back who thinks they can stand with us two. I need that tune-up match. Because if I'm going to lead a tag team to victory over those two jackholes who put their hands on my friends and attacked me, then I need to know you're good enough to hang with me. The last time I tag teamed with someone, he betrayed me and left me for dead. I need to know I can trust you...and I need to know if you're good enough. So Steven...I'll see you next week. And if all things go well, then I'll see you at Concert 2. But let it be KNOWN...I WILL be at Concert 2...because I do have a damn ounce of pride in my body. I have respect for the guys who brought me here, because they see and KNOW talent. So if they don't see Frost Bite as deserving of Tag Title shots, then maybe it's because they aren't ready for Tag Title shots. So instead of working to get even better, they take it out on other people."
-Percy ends it off with this: "Congratulations, Frost Bite...your fifteen minutes of fame starts...now. Cherish it. Revel in it. CELEBRATE it. Because after Concert 2's main event-because every match I'm in is the main event-you're going to wish you never...messed...with me."
-Percy puts the mic down, and walks away from Universe and Dendy. The entourage follow Percy out...leaving behind very confused personnel...
"So like...is this a TAG TEAM? Is this Percy & Steven? ...Rose Quartz...Water..." Chiseled Adonis pondered, "...Is this...WATERROSE?"
"I'm gonna have to ask you to stop right there..." Todd groaned.
Bucky Connors vs. Michael Phelps
-Bucky Connors wanted a battle with everyone he could conceivably get his hands on...especially in The Horizon Title race. The Horizon Passport holder took his skills to the limit with Phelps, who was still wearing the long red, white, & blue pants from earlier. Phelps' moves flow like water, so he transitioned ever so nicely around Bucky. Bucky offers a bit of spontaneity to his bouts, though. Phelps can't counter what he can't see coming. Bucky seems to always add something new to his arsenal, such as this Springboard Rolling Elbow to the skull that ALMOST put Phelps out for three! Darry Chance slaps the mat and tries to get "BUCKY! BUCKY! BUCKY!" chants going! The crowd liked the plucky underdog. Bucky was always going on about stealing the show...and he wanted to put on the best match tonight!
-By the end of it, Phelps does try for The Ankle Lock...Bucky manages to kick him off, and hits the ropes. Phelps runs up and spins around Bucky to try for a Sleeper Hold! Bucky runs up the near left corner and pushes back FOR A PIN ON PHELPS! ONE, TWO-kickout by Michael, and Bucky runs again...and comes back to BUCK KICK (Bicycle Kick) PHELPS-who catches the leg and ANKLE LOCK! Bucky THRASHES, trying to get out of this...and he just CAN'T. He even tries to roll it into a Small Package pin! ONE, TWO-no, Michael turns it RIGHT back into an Ankle Lock...and then GRAPEVINES IT! And Bucky is in the middle of the ring...he tries to drag himself to the ropes...but he's FORCED to tap out!
-Phelps gets up and declares, "You may steal the show...but I LEGALLY obtain the victory! All in another day's work for THE America Hero of GPW! And as for the slovenly Bob and the ILLEGAL ALIEN Kong...that belt comes to the AMERICAN PEOPLE! In two weeks!"
POSSIBLE Frost Bite Interview?
-So what of the possible interview? We do get one...a very...tumultuous one. THE Chiseled Adonis handles the interview as we get Jeremy Ellis and David Williams, Jr. on the EmpireTron. They're coming in from a live feed, emanating from London, England. They were free to talk after a long night at Wembly Stadium. David Williams said they were far from GPW, so there was no reason to 'fear them.' David's confused why they're even considered scary. Jeremy replies, "It's because GPW fears the truth, David." This gets boos from the GPW faithful, who have no patience for Jeremy or David right now. After what they did to Steven, it was all vitriol for The Mamba and The Ice Kid.
-Jeremy went and said, "We've been keeping up, though. Amidst management trying to cover their asses, we have Steven Universe and Percy Jackson attempting to face us in two weeks. Well we DO accept, if only because we don't seem to get these opportunities every day. The chance to beat a former world champion...and a current world champion...at the same time. I wonder if that'll make us contenders for the tag titles after THAT. Or would we have to dance through even more hoops just to please The GPW overlords? At some point, the same routine gets old. But I think this goes even deeper than that. Because ever since we did what we did, now GPW management feels...challenged. Somebody finally managed to challenge Lucious Lyon's perception of 'good wrestling' that isn't a marketable mess of gimmicks and signing big names. Somebody finally challenged TBS's old school, 'break your spine until you pay your dues' mentality. Somebody finally challenged Michelle Williams' 'I'm so petty, I'll ruin UWE to get back at my ex-husband' routine. And then they drag my brother into it just to add salt into the wounds. Luckily for you, my brother is too loyal, so no more family members being used against me."
-David speaks up as well, needing to make his voice known, "And if anyone questions why we did what we did...don't you think it's hypocritical that you would cheer anyone else for speaking their minds and fighting the power. Steve Austin made a career out of it. You laugh when DX do it. But when we do it, then it's supposedly BAD. It's EVIL. We went after Percy...and we went after Steven. Percy for obvious reasons, and Steven because he's the 'ideal employee' for this company. Nobody would pay attention unless we went after Percy and Steven."
-"Of course now Steven wants his revenge, which is cute. You were a main eventer. What's that supposed to mean? We have to fear you? Our 'fifteen minutes of fame,' Percy? Funny words coming from the guy whose extending his doomsday clock back one minute every day just because he knows when that belt is lost...he'll have nothing left. And he'll come crawling back to UWE, hoping they take him back. And don't get me twisted, I don't like UWE management either. Right now, I'm wary of most management. Just seeing a McDonald's manager makes me wince. But at least Merrick and friends never pretended to like us. GPW management gives this air of care for the roster...this 'family' thing they loved to put out back when we only did shows in The DC Armory. But now we're 'corporate'...now we're just chasing trends. The Tag Division could have had Frost Bite fairly fighting for the belts. Instead, this company is too busy trying to make a fortune than trying to make a good show. We got screwed by management because they'd rather see BTR vs. The Runaway Guys for ten million pounds of gold. They're talented...but are they trying to say we aren't? That bothers me. So Steven...Percy...pretend to be a real tag team. Come cosplay as teammates real quick in two weeks. We'll show you what real tag team wrestling looks like."
-"And after we finish with you two...Runaway Guys...Big Time Rush...we're coming for whichever of you runs off with our future belts."
-Chiseled Adonis tries to ask about what would they do should they lose...and Jeremy rolls his eyes. "What if we lose to two guys who've never tag teamed in their lives together and are in over their heads? Two guys who run on spite more than talent? Yeah that's rich. Chiseled, I know you're not a real sports reporter. But try to pretend you know how to ask a real question, okay stupid? What is it you say? Put you're motherf*cking head back down, you bum."
-Jeremy and David remove their microphones from their collars and head out of the sight of the camera as the show ends on that note...
-.-.-
GPW Prime 11
Lily w/ Narancia Ghirga vs. Tulip (local talent)
-Lily of course pulls out the victory, pulling Narancia along on his collar as she signals that THIS team is winning The King & Queens Tournament next month. "It's academic, darlings~" she declares while walking away from the ring.
The Runaways (Karolina Dean & Nico Minoru w/Molly Hayes) vs. Jessica Mendoza & Riley Offerson (local talent)
-The Runaways deliver a victory against the local talent, getting their minds and bodies prepped for next week against The Disney Princesses. The No. 1 Contendership for the Women's Tag Titles is on the line here next week. These girls want nothing more than to re-enter The Women's Tag Team Title picture.
Jolyne Kujo and Remi & Christa w/NeNe Tendo vs. Destiny, Xandra Danica, & Mabel Pines (SWE reps)
-Now Remi & Christa, Women's Tag Team Title Passport holders, are ready for action against former GPW roster members. The SWE Women's Champion, Destiny, commands her Disney girls on the offensive. They took over SWE's Women's Division. Remi & Christa had to still deal with NeNe, but they were slowly getting used to it. Jolyne, meanwhile, was hopeful for one thing...she wanted a shot at The Women's Championship via a King & Queen's Tournament win...but she still couldn't find a willing partner. Was she hard to deal with? ...Judging from the way she made Disney XD tap out to a Figure Four Necklock and nearly choked the girl into unconsciousness...maybe? She was known as brash and a bit too loud backstage. It may have turned some off from wanting to team with her. But these three get te win and hope to move onto bigger glory next month.
Team Overwatch (Tracer & D-Va) w/Lucio vs. The E-Gamers (local talent)
-Meawhile, Team Overwatch have vowed one thing...get back to the championship title game. They offer an open challenge next week to anyone who is willing to face them. Tracer & D-Va put down The E-Gamers and head to the back with their heads held high. But they wanted more. They wanted a challenge next week. Any way to put their names back into contention was good with them.
