WFPW: PRESIDENTIAL POWER, LIVE FROM MOUNT RUSHMORE! (PART 1)
Venue: Mount Rushmore Viewing Platform
Date: January 29th, 2023
State/City: Keystone, South Dakota
(The screen explodes with red, white, and blue colors as the beginning verse of "Red, White, and Blue" by Godsmack is played as the camera circles Mount Rushmore. The camera finally zooms in on the presidents as red, blue, and white fireworks go off in the sky behind them. The words "PRESIDENTIAL POWER" appear just under the monument as the screen cuts to the actual event. Smoke roses quickly out of some machines near the opening and fireworks are shot from the parking lot just down the path as they served as the opening pyro for the event. 5,500 fans are in attendance with about 250 more just down the path of the monument watching from the warmth from their cars via a giant monitor showcasing the event. They showed off their signs as the camera people passed them by and Misa Otomura stepped up the ring steps ready to announce the first main match of the evening getting excited. Russ Markley and Greg Justice are placed at the opening of the entrance ramp just off to the side sitting in steel chairs wearing their tuxedos.)
"From the great monument of Mount Rushmore comes the second launch event known as Presidential Power. I'm Russ Markley alongside Greg Justice and tonight, we have quite a lot on our plate," Russ explained.
"We got Nightfall against The Von Hammers, Senator Caleb Collins of North Carolina making an appearance in action, and our partners over at League of Anime Wrestling giving us a glimpse of what they can really do," Greg added.
"We have two battle royals showcasing the present and future of LAW Wrestling and their very own Alania Sanders is set to main event against Janella Johnson tonight. Janella, of course, will be flanked by her best friend, Sienna Smith, and Alania has had tension building with Sienna. Janella wanted to call her own shot against the Amazon so we have this match set by commissioner Hank Strongbow Williams," Russ explained.
"Also, we hear from two of the biggest debuting stars from Absolute Zero. Boxer Tamao Silver is here tonight and she's rumored to be issuing her first challenge to a special opponent in mind. Not to mention, David Hodges's protégé, Brandon Duke, explains himself of why he attacked The Reformation," Greg stated.
"Jonathan defeated Malakai Black in a very competitive main event and House of Black wasn't about to let that stop them from bringing darkness to the Reformation. They sent out a challenge on Dynamite this past Wednesday declaring a faction war. Jonathan answered and he accepted for his group so he has Preston, William, and Astrid joining him in eight-person tag team action tonight," Russ added.
"We would like to thank Godsmack for supplying their song "Red, White, and Blue" as the theme of Presidential Power. This is a song on their new album "Lighting Up The Sky" coming out next month so be sure to find it and support the band," Greg announced.
"Coming up first, our good partners at League of Anime Wrestling have sanctioned a 50-woman battle royal showcase and General Manager Dan DeFranco has chosen the best he could find to represent LAW here tonight. Let's go to Misa Otomura in the ring for introductions," Russ explained.
(The bell rings as LAW and WFPW ring announcer Misa Otomura stands firmly in the middle of the ring smiling to everyone as she raises the microphone to her mouth.)
LAW and WFPW Ring Announcer
Misa Otomura ( MisaOtomuraLAW)
"The opening contest is a 50-woman League of Anime Wrestling-exclusive Over The Top Rope Battle Royal!" Misa announced as the fans in attendance started holding up their signs for the cameras to zoom in on them. "Now, all 50 women will start in the ring and only one will be left remaining. To properly eliminate an opponent, that woman must be thrown over the top rope with both feet touching the floor. The last woman remaining will be declared the winner."
("Birth of a New Witch (Instrumental)" by Umineko)
(The crowd gave a very mixed reaction as the leader of the Shadow Fortress Training Academy and the Smiling Demon, Dana Ashford, came out sporting long blonde hair wearing a leopard-printed singlet, red armbands, white knee pads, and white boots. Her daughters, Mara and Toni, came out with her seemingly scoffing at the audience booing them, but Dana places her arms around her daughters beginning to walk them down the ramp. Mara had short blonde hair wearing a leopard-printed two-piece wrestling attire, red armbands, red knee pads, and white boots while Toni wore a singlet like her mother and the same attire as her sister as she sported long blonde hair she put in a ponytail.)
The Ashford Family
Dana Ashford ( Dana_Ashford), Mara Ashford ( MaraAshford), Toni Ashford ( ToniAshford)
"Introducing first, representing the legendary Ashford wrestling family, the leader and head trainer of Shadow Fortress, The Smiling Demon, Dana Ashford and her daughters, Mara and Toni!" Misa announced.
"The Ashfords need no introduction as Dana started her career as a young and sadistic brawler that hasn't slowed down even after two retirements. She is currently 51 and is killing it not only in the ring herself, but testing her students at her training school," Russ stated.
"They are sharing the ring with enemies alike and it's going to be a war for these three ladies to keep themselves together long enough to reach the end of the line," Greg added.
(All three Ashford women focused on getting to the ring as Toni and Mara led the charge up the steps while Tyrone Regis, Victoria Ashlen, and Oscar Johnson would serve as the referees for this match.)

(Mega cheers came at the sound of bongos and the chorus of "WHOA!" in the next theme song as Katherine Hart came out dressed in a purple cat luchadora outfit with her tail waving at every movement she made as she came out carrying her half of the LAW World Tag Team Championship and flexing her right bicep as smoke started shooting out from the machines. Tracy Canon joined her partner dressed in a pink and white cat luchadora outfit having the other half of the titles around her waist and Aurora Estrella joined her partners cranking her neck and she cracked her knuckles as well.)
LAW World Tag Team Champions/The SWAT Cats
"Super Kitty" Katherine Hart ( RealSuperKitty), "Circus Cat" Tracy Canon ( CircusCat_LAW), and "Galaxy Cat" Aurora Estrella ( AuoroaGalaxyLAW)
"Next, they are your LAW World Tag Team Champions, "Super Kitty" Katherine Hart, "Circus Cat" Tracy Canon, and "Galaxy Cat" Aurora Estrella, The SWAT Cats!" Misa announced.
(The Cats would smile out to the cheering crowd waving their hands and even get some high-fives in from the younger and teen fans, but Katherine put up a finger before turning to point towards the entrance ramp. A short brunette named Gil came out with her hair done up to look like she had cat ears wearing a white frilly bra with a cut open hole in the middle to look like a cat, white frilly arm bands with pink bands around them, a white skirt, a brown attachable tail, and white leg warmers. Due to the cold weather, she came out wearing a pink jacket with it all. She jumped in place running out to greet the crowd before slapping fives with Tracy and Aurora coming down the ramp with them.)
Gil the Smother Princess ( Armagilo)
"And their honorary SWAT Cat, Gil!" Misa announced.
"Possibly the most impressive team to ever grace the modern professional wrestling era with an emphasis in women's wrestling. Tag team champions ever since the summer of 2019 and they have contenders in all divisions within LAW. Even Gil has some impressive wins under her own belt," Russ announced.
"She certainly has beaten some giants in her short career, no pun intended. The main three have had some amazing matches either individually or as a tag team throwing out their own personal open challenge to any of LAW's tag teams-a few of which are storming the ring tonight for this battle royal. Make no mistake that the Cats are clear favorites to win this," Greg added.
(The Cats mainly walked down the long ramp slapping hands with the fans as Tracy entertained the younger kids, Kat pounded fists with the adults, Auora raised her fists in the air, and Gil gulped seeing The Ashfords in the ring knowing the history between both groups. Kat eyed up Dana as she went up the steel steps letting both heated rivals acknowledge each other with a competitive glare. Tracy and Aurora backed up Kat on the apron as Gil kept herself outside as much as she could.)
("Red, White, and Blue" by Godsmack)
(Many other LAW women started coming out to the theme song for the big show here just below Mount Rushmore.

"And here comes the rest of the handpicked opponents. Nothing on the line in terms of a title shot or any prize, but these girls must want to be the one known to conquer 49 other women in this ring," Russ stated.
"Lots of rivals putting each other through the grill here tonight and the Edernes are getting a loud reaction as much as The SWAT Cats got. However, it doesn't change the fact that there are plenty of other favorites that could win this match," Greg added.
(The women that were faces slapped hands with the fans while others that were heels glared at their competition as The SWAT Cats gathered in one corner and the Ashfords in another as the frequent rivals glared each other down. Gil stayed on the outside as every other woman started coming in the ring or some stayed on the apron. Jem had her phone with her and started taking photos for her social media platforms as Marzia growled taking off her denim jacket and Olivia took off her pirate gear setting her hat on the upper right corner. However, as the bell rang, Lexy Alan held up her left hand and asked for a microphone as a ring worker passed it to her. She smirked walking to the center of the ring looking around her as the other competitors were confused or annoyed wanting to start this match.)
"Well, well, well, here we are on another voyage to America and I'm having the displeasure to share this ring with all of you. As we all know, none of you compare to my dear and lovingly Rose Gold, the only woman deemed spectacular enough to being the Lightweight Champion. She made the division relevant and she made it matter. Not to mention, she showed the heavyweights that they are nothing, but brutes that show off their muscles and only talk a big game," Lexy stated as the crowd booed her and she scoffed at the crowd.
(The crowd chanted "SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!" as Lexy looked on in disgust.)
"How dare you hicks use such language?! I think you all should be respecting me better than this. I dedicate tonight's vanquish of these imbeciles and the massacre I'm about to lay upon them to dear Rose Gold. I love-!" Lexy tried finishing before Kat took the microphone out of her hands making her shake in fear.
"What do you say, ladies? Temporary truce till we get her out?" Kat asked as she looked around and nearly all women in the ring nodded making Lexy huddle down on her knees trying to beg for mercy.
Everyone, except Jem Holland and Gil, grabbed Lexy hosting her high in the air as they grabbed her legs and arms as she tried unlocking herself from their grips before they carried her to the south ropes dropping her on the floor as she went down on her back (Lexy Alan eliminated). From there, the ladies turned on each other soon enough as the ring was shaking from the boots stomping all around the canvas. Berserk Liger started throwing elbows and forearms to Kat, Tracy, Olivia, Jem, Maxine, Cheryl, and even Miranda getting her on the east ropes. Berserk hits a Clothesline over the top rope as Miranda's feet hit the floor (Miranda Tomi eliminated). Sanae was matching up with Sakura hitting various kicks to her sides before whipping Sakura off the east ropes to the west ropes hitting an Enzurgiri getting Sakura to fall on her side. Selket comes up grabbing Sanae and bending her between her legs lifting her up for a Powerbomb as Sanae went straight on her stomach drooling a little bit and grabbing her back. Selket grabbed Sakura up hitting a normal Bodyslam making Sakura scream in pain and grab her back. Selket grabs Sanae throwing her over the west top rope as she was soundly eliminated falling on her face (Sanae Saitou eliminated). Selket smirked as she leaned over the top rope as Vamp Suzumori hits a Dropkick only making Selket fly off her feet a few inches in the air. Vamp turned the priestess around hitting shots to her head and hit a few elbows for good measure, but Selket hit a Headbutt to the vampire character before hoisting her on the right shoulder and dropping her outside for the elimination (Vamp Suzumori eliminated.)
"Selket scoring two quick eliminations and her size as a heavyweight gives her a very clear advantage here. You might need two or three people lifting this priestess over the top rope," Russ remarked.
One of the main threats in this match were the Cats as they were fighting off women left and right with mere punches. Yuki scored a nice forearm to Aurora trading shots with her, but Kat hit a chop to Yuki's chest to make her back off. Cecelia kicked Tracy in the gut and hit a Forearm Smash to the head knocking Tracy back while Marzia picked Aurora up in her hands dropping the lightweight luchadora on her knee five times. However, Kat came to the rescue hitting a Running Elbow to Cecelia's head and hit a Scoop Slam to Marzia as Kat called on Tracy. Both cats lifted Cecelia and Marzia up in Electric Chair position. The heels tried punching down on the Cats, but they were soon dumped out south being eliminated by the tag team champions (Cecelia Lombard and Marzia Servelli eliminated). Later on the north ropes, Berserk Liger knee'd Osamu in the face after she was hanging on for dear life and she was eliminated (Osamu Morizumi eliminated). Selket also dumped out Mina with a Bodyslam to the outside getting rid of her as Gil remained outside the ring covering her mouth (Mina Piper eliminated). Courtney started hitting elbows to Mizuki getting her in the upper right corner before lifting her up to get her over, but Mizuki managed to shift her body to lock onto Courtney with a left arm around her head. Mizuki hung on for dear life as her body shifted downwards bringing Courtney with her as she tried punching at the grasp.
"Courtney Murphy tried sending Mizuki to an early grave, but Mizuki smartly hanging on and Courtney is tittering over that top rope. Could the jobber finally get that almighty win for once in her career?" Greg observed.
Courtney was just about over the top rope as Mizuki's back hit the apron and Courtney fell on her feet with the crowd cheering loudly for the jobber as she eliminated someone (Courtney Murphy eliminated)! Mizuki wiped her hair out of her face jumping up to her feet and bouncing on the apron right as a big boot from Maxine busts her in the jaw as Mizuki closes her eyes falling onto Courtney to the floor (Mizuki Sakura eliminated). The Edernes went to war with the Ashfords in the middle of the ring as Brynhild was on Dana, Elm on Toni, and Freya on Mara as they rained down axe handles on the backs of their opponents, but Selket hit a big boot to Freya to break up the action. Selket quickly got Freya up and sent her out west getting booed (Freya Ederne eliminated), but Brynhild goes hard hitting a massive Lou Thez Press on Selket raining down punches on her foe getting cheered. Olivia comes out of the lower left corner hitting the Sea Shanty Bullseye (Claymore Kick) on Elm taking down the older sibling. The Cats would come in the middle seeing The Ashfords as both trios teams stood against each other with Dana smiling wickedly while Kat narrowed her eyes.
"Here we go: Cats vs. Ashfords and you can tell all six women have been waiting on this for a couple years," Russ stated.
"We Are LAW IV is where Ashfords and Cats collided for the tag team titles so this feud is well overdue," Greg added.
Chelsea could be seen beating down Natalie on the west ropes as Finella comes in with a kick to the gut and a Stunner to send Natalie out of the match (Natalie McCathy eliminated). Chelsea and Finella high-fived as the Ashfords rushed the Cats getting a big mixed reaction, but Kat came back at Dana hard with forearms as Tracy was sent out through the middle rope towards the ramp by Mara. Kat waited for Mara to turn around kicking her in the gut and bending her between the legs before lifting her to hit the Sheer Hart Attack (Gotch Piledriver) as Mara's legs flew up in the air as Kat gets her up sending her over the south top rope to the floor (Mara Ashford eliminated). Tracy rolls back in the ring and regroups with Aurora, but Dana comes in with a Double Lariat to both women. Dana then kicked Aurora in the gut and got her in suplex position screaming to lift her up hitting the Sword of Damocles (Jackhammer) on Aurora as Toni jumped off her mother's back to hit a Missile Dropkick to Kat taking her down. Dana gets Aurora up and sends her over the east top rope too late for Kat to make a reach for her partner (Aurora Estrella eliminated).
"The Ashfords and the Cats both taking an inch from one another as we see Kat and Dana prove their might as the front leaders," Greg stated.
Brynhild punched Selket on the east ropes as Maxine formed a little alliance with her grabbing the priestess just under the arms locking in Love Hurts (Masterlock) waving Selket around and holding her for Brynhild. However, Ryori comes in attacking the back of the older blonde and turns her around trying to lift Brynhild for the Tsun-Plex while she's stunned, but Brynhild simply lifted Ryori in a military press before tossing her out east (Ryori Bleck eliminated). At the same time, Selket arches her head backwards spitting pink mist into Maxine's face getting the former pornstar to release her hold and Selket hits a Clothesline to Maxine over the top rope getting out a big problem (Maxine Rossi eliminated). Brynhild continues her assault on Selket getting her in the lower right corner going for chops to the chest as Barbara tries getting Alizeh over the top rope on the south ropes and Kayla pitches in to help. Alizeh holds on for dear life before falling on the apron below her. Chris sizes Barbara up from behind before the idol turns around into a Superkick from the rocker sending Barbara outside to the floor (Sparkling Idol Barbara eliminated).
"Chris helping Alizeh sending the cute idol straight to the back and now Kayla finds herself all on her own against Alizeh from the apron as well as Chris in the ring," Greg stated.
Kayla found Alizeh wrapping her legs around the Californian's throat using them to pull her over the south top rope, but Kayla only fell on the apron using hard punches to get Alizeh's legs off her. Maxine came by in a fit of rage being eliminated and trying to wipe the mist from her eyes as she saw Kayla thinking she was seeing Selket. She screamed at Kayla grabbing her legs and pulling her to the floor essentially eliminating her (Kayla Grant eliminated). Kayla tried arguing her elimination as Maxine made a grab for Alizeh, who backed up before running forward to hit a left boot to Maxine's face making her tumble to the floor. Olivia would also be sent over the west top rope by Kat sending her to the floor (Olivia Orelash eliminated). Elm was seen setting Isabelle on top of the upper right corner, but Isabelle pulled her just under the left armpit as Isabelle pointed to the sky going for a Tornado DDT, but Elm turned them around in a circle eliminating Isabelle straight to the floor (Isabelle Starlight eliminated). Amber Skye could be seen getting Yukino up in a fireman's carry position as Cheryl heads up top the upper left corner as Cheryl hits the knee to Yukino's head coming down as Amber dumps Yukino over the south top rope (Yukino Fuyumi eliminated).
"Just a bunch of bodies flying over the top rope so far and this has been an eventful match with lots of star power to spare," Russ observed with a smile.
Kat and Dana met in the middle again as Brynhild lifts Selket high on her shoulder hitting Mount Rushmore (Sit-Out Shoulder Powerbomb) in the middle of the ring shaking it violently! The crowd cheered on Brynhild as Jem kicked at Elm, Cheryl, Mindy, and Alizeh as each woman tried grabbing her. She channels her inner Hogan pointing around the ring as she yells "GET SET" and then points to the crowd as they shout "TO GET REKT!" as she noticed some of her vocal stream followers in the crowd tonight. She punches down Amber, Cheryl, Tracy, Toni, Elm, Danielle, and Tina. She kicked Danielle in the gut and gave her a strong European Uppercut knocking Danielle over the west top rope (Danielle DeGardin eliminated). Toni tried her turn before Jem ducked a Lariat and hit a Roundhouse Kick getting Toni on the west ropes as Jem hopped in place running to hit Toni with a Clothesline over the top rope (Toni Ashford eliminated). The crowd cheered their favorite streamer in the ring as she soaked in the big cheers.
"Jem surprising everyone by rising to the challenge in this match and she is on fire right now!" Greg screamed.
Dana saw her daughter get eliminated as she bashed her head against Kat's knocking her off her feet before getting Kat up, but Tracy got on the west apron jumping on the top rope going for a Springboard Knee Strike making Dana stumble. Kat get back on her feet and screamed in rage picking up Dana to hit a Spinebuster! She gets Dana up by the hair and Tracy joined her as they nod to each other sending Dana over the top rope ending her run in the match to loud cheers (Dana Ashford eliminated)! They cheered with the crowd hugging before Amber grabbed Kat and Cheryl grabbed Tracy hoisting them over the west top rope as the Punchers eliminated the LAW Tag Team Champions (SWAT Cats eliminated)! Amber and Cheryl screamed and hugged each other turning themselves around in circles as gasps and cheers filled the crowd. Spring Tiger climbed the lower left corner as she had been battling Yuki since mid-match and she jumped hitting the Dynamite Schoolgirl with a Flying Crossbody. Rei climbed the lower right corner hitting a Flying Clothesline to Jem taking down the streamer and she hit a Back Elbow Smash to Alizeh's face before knocking the Emerald Storm down with a Hip Attack! Alizeh falls down and Rei stands over her swaying her hips in circles before dropping down with a Standing Bonzai Drop on Alizeh's chest making Alizeh wheeze and cough.
"The Hentai Champion showing off that body that brought her the title, but she's not uneducated in wrestling. She has her own moves to get serious with," Greg stated.
Mindy came behind Rei and grabbed her from behind to send her over the south top rope as Rei's feet hit the floor suddenly (Rei Tachibana eliminated). The crowd booed Mindy as she grabbed Alizeh up whipping her to the upper right corner and going for a Corner Clothesline making Alizeh buckle in the corner. Katsumi Oshiro started to send chops out at GASTER and then to Ryuko as the former Wrestle Angels star held her chest. Katsumi pointed to the audience as they cheered on her actions before Eirina tussled with her locking up before the German doctor hit a Hip Toss on Katsumi before Ryuko hits Eirina with a Running Lariat. GASTER comes running in to hit Ryuko with a Slingblade getting a good crowd reaction before getting the German doctor up setting her on the east end ropes. She runs for Eirina trying to eliminate her before Eirina lifts GASTER over the top rope to land on the apron. Eirina hits back elbow to the face, but GASTER hangs on for dear life before launching a few punches back onto Eirina. Ryuko tries for the big boot, but GASTER lowers the top rope making Ryuko land on it crotch first causing her to scream. GASTER hits a Rope-Aided Enzurgiri to Ryuko's head making Ryuko fall on the apron, but the bottom rope keeps her safe. Katsumi tries going for a Baseball Slide Dropkick to knock her off, but Ryuko sits up letting Katsumi slide under the bottom rope, but not eliminated.
"Still quite a few women in this match and Ryuko avoiding certain elimination right there as Katsumi went under the bottom rope so she's still in this match," Greg reminded.
Mindy comes over and hits an elbow to GASTER as the masked wrestler keeps ahold of the middle rope. Mindy tries to grab GASTER in order to Suplex her into the ring, but Annie comes behind to clobber the back of Mindy saving her fellow lightweight. GASTER heads inside through the middle rope teaming with Annie as they both hit a Double Suplex on Mindy as the actress grabs her back in pain. Alizeh climbed the upper right corner hitting a Frog Splash to Mindy to add insult to injury. However, Chris comes in for a Curb Stomp on Alizeh driving Alizeh's head into the ground. Chelsea had been dealing damage to the Punchers with Finella before turning to find Chris in her view now. The rocker turns to see Chelsea as they stood out of each other's way this whole match thus far. They glare down each other coming up to each other to push foreheads as Finella gets between them and shouts "NO! NO! WE'RE NOT DOING THIS NOW!" Chelsea then turned to Finella kicking her in the gut before hitting the Stunner making Finella back up into the north ropes before Chelsea hit a Clothesline to knock Finella out of the match (Finella Edelstein eliminated). Chris hit the back of Chelsea rapidly punching her in the head as she went full rage mode on her.
"Finella tried breaking up things between her friends, but it wasn't gonna happen if Chelsea had her say. Chris now going ballistic with those punches," Russ stated.
GASTER and Annie saw Chris and Chelsea getting into a brawl before they rushed both women lifting them up and over the top rope down to the floor near Finella, but they scrambled on top of each other still trying to punch the other's skull in (Chelsea Forster and Chris Yukine eliminated). Annie and GASTER high-fived before GASTER tossed her over afterwards leaving the southern girl to fall on her face (Annie Clark eliminated). GASTER shrugged her shoulders and chuckled beneath her mask as Eirina came running in to hit the lightweight wrestler with her Busaiku Knee Strike. Beserk comes out of nowhere rushing Eirina into the north ropes before lifting her out and the doctor hits the floor feet first (Eirina Makashima eliminated). Elm threw Jem out onto the west apron as Gil saw her chance to finally enter the ring running towards an oblivious Jem and hit her with the Rear View with her butt. Jem felt the bump on her chest leaving her to fall to the floor smacking the mat in frustration (Jem Holland eliminated). Tina starts hitting the heads of both Cheryl and Amber trying to stop them from double teaming her as Cheryl backs off to protect her face, but Amber hits a knee to Tina's gut before bending her forward. Tina lifts Amber up high backing her up into Cheryl as both Punchers went into the west ropes as Elm and Gil assisted Tina lifting Cheryl and Amber over the top rope as the cheerleaders were no more in the match (Pom-Pom Punchers eliminated.) Berserk would then rush Elm sending her packing as well with a Clothesline (Elm Ederne eliminated).
"We have eliminations galore as the ring is starting to downsize some," Russ stated.
Gil tried going after Berserk with a Hip Attack, but Berserk caught Gil and lifted her up to throw her out onto the Punchers catching her as Gil hit the floor (Gil eliminated). Tina turns Berserk around as they get into a punching war as Ryuko comes after Selket and Brynhild punching both heavyweight women before getting behind Selket to hit a Full Nelson Suplex on her. Sakura came back into the fold hitting her Sakura Special (Double Uppercut Kick) to Brynhild getting her on the east ropes. Sakura runs for her to try for an elimination, but Byrnhild scoops Sakura up over the shoulder to hit a second Mount Rushmore crushing Sakura over on her stomach. The blonde picks up Sakura in a military press to dump her out south (Sakura Hagiwara eliminated). The field was thinning as Ryuko tried getting Selket on the north ropes and Byrnhild comes over to help. Spring Tiger and Yuki started pitching in to help after mainly getting lambasted by other competitors and forced to lay low in order to choose their moments to strike. Mindy came over to help as well as Selket was on the verge of being eliminated. However, Selket spit out her pink mist into the faces of those she could aim at getting nearly everyone off her. She grabbed Yuki and sent her packing straight over the top rope (Yuki Kazikura eliminated).
"Selket with the pink mist and now everyone is on the target list!" Russ exclaimed.
Selket started delivering big boots like crazy to the rest of the field and Brynhild stumbled a little bit before Selket hit another Big Boot getting Brynhild on the east ropes. Selket then lifted the older woman over the top rope eliminating her as the crowd booed the priestess loudly (Brynhild Ederne eliminated). Selket then avoided a Dropkick from Spring Tiger as she caught her before hoisting her over the top rope with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex leaving Tiger to hit the floor (Spring Tiger eliminated)! The match consisted of Selket, Katsumi, GASTER, Ryuko, Tina, Berserk, Alizeh, and Mindy as the last remaining participants. Ryuko tried wiping the mist out of her eyes as GASTER snuck up behind Ryuko grabbing her by the head pointing to the crowd as she hits the veteran Japanese wrestler with Shadow's End (Lifting Inverted DDT)! GASTER gets Ryuko up pointing to the south top rope running to throw her over as Ryuko's feet hit the floor (Thunder Ryuko eliminated). However, Tina snuck up behind GASTER and tried eliminating her, but GASTER held onto the south top rope for dear life. Alizeh hits a Dropkick to GASTER as the Englishwoman felt her grip slipping as she went on the apron. Mindy wipes the mist out of her eyes seeing Alizeh as the two squared off in the middle of the ring brawling with punches and elbows to the head.
"We do know that Mindy wants to get her hands on Alizeh for the blowoff match for both at LAW's upcoming Apex event. It seems this match gives them the excuse to warm the other up," Greg observed.
Katsumi had remained on the outside letting the ring thin out a bit as she climbed the west apron before going for a Springboard Missile Dropkick straight to Mindy and Alizeh taking them down. Katsumi gets Alizeh up and hoists Alizeh on her back smirking as she hits Nightmare Fuel (Gory Bomb) on The Emerald Storm as Alizeh felt her face when she smacked into the canvas. Katsumi throws up a rock sign to the fans as Beserk came up from behind hitting a Neon Lights Kick (Buzzsaw Kick) as Katsumi went into the west ropes. Katsumi turned around to lean on the ropes feeling her head as Beserk hit her Roaring Elbow to send Katsumi packing over the top rope (Katsumi Oshiro eliminated). Berserk soaked in the boos as Mindy came into the fray hitting chops to Liger's chest before she ran the east ropes trying to go for a Flying Crossbody, but Liger seems ducks down letting Mindy sail over her hitting her stomach on the canvas. Mindy groans as Berserk gets her up sending her over the west top rope to the floor (Mindy Midnight eliminated). GASTER tried to go for a springboard move, but Berserk countered with her Yakuza Kick sending GASTER to the floor (GASTER eliminated). The ring was down to the final four.
"Beserk thinning the field down to four as we have her, Alizeh, Selket, and Tina left in the match and these women must be tired after enduring so much when this ring was packed," Russ stated.
Tina comes in and brawls with Berserk as both women hated each other to no end going back and forth with punches. Beserk tries for a Lariat, but Tina ducks hitting a Roundhouse Kick to knock off Beserk. Selket came in grabbing the arms of Tina from behind her, but Tina broke out whipping Selket into Beserk knocking both women onto the east ropes. Alizeh gets back to her feet and Tina nods to her as they both ran for Beserk and Selket, but Selket bent over sneaking a yellow capsule in her mouth before chewing on it to blast gold mist into Alizeh's face. Beserk was sent over the top rope to the floor, but Selket grabbed Alizeh by the head sending her over to the floor as well (Beserk Liger and Alizeh Midori eliminated). Tina quickly grabbed ahold of Selket from behind as she tried lifting her up for the Tigress Bomb, but Selket elbowed the side of her head before Selket hits a Scoop Slam on Tina. The crowd chanted "TINA! TINA! TINA! TINA! TINA!" all over the arena as Selket mocked them by spitting out the rest of her gold mist. She got Tina up by her blonde hair as Tina looked exhausted as Selket grabbed her by the throat, but Tina raked the eyes as Selket screamed in pain. Tina kicked the gut of Selket bending her over and hooking both arms as she lifts Selket up enough to flip her into the Tigress Bomb (Tiger Bomb!) Tina lays out on her back clearly tired from the match she had endured through.
"This crowd is on Tina's side and TIGRESS BOMB! Can Tina capitalize and get this done? Can she win right here and now?" Greg asked.
Tina gets up and breathes in heavy strides getting Selket it up dragging her over south and leaning her on the top rope. Tina would then grab her by the waist and scream lifting her over the top rope as Selket's ass hit the floor and the bell rang as Tina sank to her knees leaning on the middle rope (Selket eliminated)! The crowd cheered loudly with some getting out of their seats!

"Here is your winner, "Tigress" Tina Armstrong!" Misa announced as she had to give her own round of applause from the outside.
"That was probably her best performance yet. Tina really outlasted 49 other women to get to this point after being treated as a stepping stone," Greg stated.
"We do have to remember that she trained under Alania so she uses those skills she learned to her fullest advantage and managed to get the job done," Russ added.
(Tina raises both arms before attending to her aching stomach and her back as she leans in the lower left corner happy that she won. She sat down and needed a long break after that match.)
("Unbreakable by Fireflight)
(Big cheers came from the crowd as one fan in attendance held up a sign that said "ENERGIZE SOUTH DAKOTA!" and Tamao made her appearance wearing a brown fur coat with a black shirt, white skirt, blue beret, and light blue shoes on. She smiled towards Tina and she held a microphone in hand waiting for her music to stop.)
"Hello America!" Tamao began as she heard the big cheers. "And hello to you too, Tina! Very good effort against your fellow LAW women, but everyone gave their hardest effort tonight. As you all know, there is a special challenger I want to issue my debut match to and I was just waiting in the wings to see how well they fought in this current match. I have to say that I may move around in the ring pretty quick, but this wrestler thinks on their feet and I can respect that. We are heading to England next so I feel it's only appropriate to issue the challenge to Tina herself."
(The crowd cheered loudly as Tina heaved and smirked nodding her head instantly as her sign that she was accepting Tamao's challenge.)
"Then, my pro wrestling debut comes next month over the pond in England! Don't disappoint me, Tina! I'm gonna need you to keep up!" Tamao taunted as she held the mic down and smirked at her future opponent.
("Unbreakable" by Fireflight)
"Tamao has set the date and we are now ready for a showdown in England. Tina may have the home field advantage, but it won't matter much if she can't keep up with someone who knows how to keep her opponents down," Greg stated.
"But don't forget that Tina has willpower, partner. She won't be that easy to put down and I don't think Tamao should underestimate that despite her fighting prowess," Russ added.
(Tamao smirked at Tina as the tigress lifted herself up in the corner staring down her opponent and she just outstretched her arms taunting to the crowd before pointing to the boxer.)
(Backstage, Connor would find himself wearing his normal suit and standing inside one of the many trailers in the parking lot that the wrestlers used for their locker rooms. He was approached by a muscular young man with long red hair, green eyes, and he wore dark green tattered shorts, a black belt with a silver buckle, a smaller brown belt over his right leg, black armbands with plastic spikes and white cotton attached to them, a sleeveless black jacket with cotton attached to the shoulders, a shark tooth necklace, and brown combat boots with white cotton attached to them.)
"Hi everyone, I'm Connor and I'm here with LAW's Oscar Orelash standing beside me. A big night for you here under the noses of Mount Rushmore, Oscar, because this is your big debut in WFPW. How are you feeling?" Connor asked as he faced the camera before turning the mic to Oscar.
"Well, to be perfectly honest, I'm nervous- but VERY excited for this. It's not every day you get to make a debut against a legend like Paul Wight after all!" Oscar replied with a wide smile.
"A seven-foot giant awaits you in the ring and even though he's aged, he still has a few Chokeslams left in him. How do you plan to combat him?" Connor asked.
"I've always prided myself on having a high defense, fast reflexes, and plenty of stamina thanks to some of the intense workouts and training sessions I go through. I plan to try and wear him down to the best of my ability and try to outlast him," Oscar explained.
"What moves in your arsenal do you think would be best suited to take down this giant?" Connor asked.
"Hopefully, strikes and submissions to chip away at him, some counters to use his size and momentum against him, and if I get the chance- aerial moves like frog splashes. After all- two hundred and twenty-five pounds of anything falling onto someone no matter how big they happen to be is going to REALLY hurt," Oscar stated.
"Good luck to you there. What does the future spell for Oscar here in WFPW? What can we expect from the Barbarian Prince?" Connor asked.
"I hope to set a good example for what I can bring to the table for WFPW as a rookie who's dedicated to the craft, passionate about the business, and someone who'll always give it 100% no matter who I face! I plan to become someone who can light the spark that'll set a burning inspiration inside the hearts of anyone- both for fans and other wrestlers!" Oscar exclaimed.
"It's a big opportunity and you should get up there right away as that match is next. That was Oscar Orelash, folks. Back to you, Russ and Greg!" Connor concluded the interview.
("New Room, New View" by Mikey Ruckus ft. Joe Altier)
(Smoke machines activate sending some streams straight in the air and the crowd cheered at the familiar "WELLLLLLLLL!" as Paul Wight comes out in an American Flag-designed singlet with his black wrestling boots. He makes a fist with his right hand and starts slapping fives with some of the fans.)
The World's Largest Athlete
Paul Wight ( PaulWight)
"The following contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, from Tallahassee, Florida, standing exactly 7 feet tall and weighing 415 lbs., The World's Largest Athlete, Paul Wight!" Misa announced as the crowd gave mega cheers.
"This man has been a staple of the wrestling world since his days back in WCW. He is often compared to Andre the Giant and it isn't hard to see why considering his massive size and massive hands. That slaps the soul out of people quick," Greg stated.
"And he's wearing the flag colors proudly tonight. Oscar needs to be on his guard especially around his chest area," Russ added.
(Paul made it ringside grabbing the middle and top rope getting on the apron and hosting his massive leg over the top rope. He wasted no time doing his signature right arm over the south top rope screaming as more smoke went up in the air.)
("Born Warriors" by InanimateMashups)
(A slightly smaller cheer came from the crowd as Oscar came out with a barren torch in hand and a lantern oil container in the other as he drank from the small container before spitting out on the torch creating fire. Smoke rose in the air for him as he came down the ramp holding the torch up.)
The Barbarian Prince
Oscar Orelash ( BarbarianPrince)
"And his opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing 225 lbs., he is the Barbarian Prince, Oscar Orelash!" Misa announced.
"Not too much to boast about Oscar as he's only been wrestling for a little under a year, but he has made a quick name for himself in intergender wrestling," Russ stated.
"However, this is a massive opportunity for him to make a name for himself in WFPW if he can knock off Paul Wight within his first match. It's not going to be easy, but Oscar has been known to be pretty tough when he wrestled in Japan adapting to the Strong Style they bring so he can probably weather this storm," Greg added.
(Oscar slapped fives with his free hand before handing his torch off to a ring worker and then he came to a young boy taking off his shark tooth necklace bending down to put it around the fan's neck. He took a picture with the fan before getting ringside, gave the fan a high-five, heading up the steps, and got in the ring looking at Paul Wight. The official for the match is Oscar Johnson.)
The theme music ended as Paul reached out his right hand for a shake and Oscar felt honored shaking his hand for a good match as they exchanged pleasantries. The bell rang as Paul offered a test of strength and Oscar met his hands, but Paul weighed down on him from the start as Paul tossed Oscar in the upper right corner. He hit massive chops to the Barbarian Prince's chest as Oscar had to protect his chest before walking into a Sidewalk Slam and Oscar grabbed his back. Paul grabs him up by the hair whipping him north and hitting a Double Axe Handle taking down Oscar again. Oscar grabbed his chest as Paul started putting weight down on the shoulders, but Oscar slipped under the legs of the giant launching his feet into the back of Paul. Oscar gets up before hoisting the giant up and hitting a Spinebuster shaking the ring!
"Oscar coming out not so hot out of the starting gate, but he is starting to turn it around after escaping Paul's grasp," Greg stated.
Oscar lifts the big man up to his right knee before hitting chops of his own before Paul grabs Oscar by the throat hitting his patent Chokeslam! Oscar goes down outstretching his arms and legs breathing heavily. Paul softens him up with a massive leg drop on the chest before Paul pins his arms down pinning him.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Oscar kicked out right after 2!
Paul gets Oscar up by his red hair before whipping him into the lower right corner, but Oscar stops himself and ducks out of Paul's Corner Splash before getting behind Paul to hit his Strength Check German Suplex. Oscar used most of his strength to lift Paul in the air and the ring shook again as Oscar got Paul on his side before picking him up again hitting another German Suplex. The crowd started chanting "ANGLE! ANGLE! ANGLE! ANGLE! ANGLE!" as Oscar seemed to be channeling his inner Olympic Gold Medalist. Oscar breathed in and out getting Paul up still from behind before Oscar hit a third German Suplex. He let go as Paul screamed and grabbed back before Oscar leveled himself on his hands and knees breathing in and out lifting over 400 pounds of a man. Oscar gets to one knee as he must take a break.
"Never in my life have I seen someone go the extra long distance to pick up a titan like Paul. Oscar managed to pull out the muscle strength to get The World's Largest Athlete up three times over," Russ stated.
Oscar goes over to Paul getting him up bent over before he hops himself on top and hits a Sunset Flip Powerbomb impacting Paul right on his head! Oscar gets the massive legs over Paul's body going for a matchbook pin!
"1…2…3! The ref counted as the bell rang for Oscar's victory!
("Born Warriors" by InanimateMashups)
"Here is your winner, "The Barbarian Prince" Oscar Orelash!" Misa announced from outside the ring.
An instant replay is shown as Oscar is shown giving three German Suplexes in a row to Paul Wight and then it transitioned to a replay of him hitting a Sunset Flip Powerbomb on the giant.
"Paul came out swinging for the fences, but Oscar is anything, but a rag doll it seems. Oscar may have had to lift more than he was capable of, but he was a trooper fighting for the victory," Russ stated.
"The World's Largest Athlete definitely came with his tactics in pursuit, but Oscar was able to signal-handily give Paul a round trip with his German Suplexes. That was impressive!" Greg added.
(Oscar got off Paul and sat up cheering loudly with both hands in the air as the referee helps him up raising his left arm before the lights go out. Oscar questioned the referee about the power and the audience was in confusion before the lights returned back on to see a tall menacing figure standing over Oscar. He had long black hair with an accompanying black goatee and sideburns as he wore a black trenchcoat with fingerless black gloves on his massive hands. Oscar turned around to see the scary man looking at him with a crackling grin. Oscar puts his hands up in a pleading manner, but the tall man grabbed Oscar hitting a Lifting Sit-Out Side Slam on Oscar getting gasps from the audience.)
"Oh dear lord! That's Lord Omaniss! You're telling me this creepy bastard is here?!" Russ exclaimed.
(Lord Omaniss received hefty boos, but he picked up Oscar until Paul turned him around grabbing his throat, but he got an elbow to the head. The giant reeled before Omaniss locked Paul in a tight Cobra Clutch and waved him around as the crowd booed some more.)
"Paul trying to come to Oscar's defense, but even as big as Paul is, Omaniss has his own stature to boast," Greg observed.
("Man The Cannons" by Jonathan Young)
(Paul groaned and frailed in the hold before Omaniss hit him with his own Chokeslam right in the middle of the ring next to Oscar. Omaniss stuck his tongue out before "MAN THE CANNONS!" could be heard as an entrance video started to play and big cheers came from the crowd as Olivia Orelash came out still a little fresh despite her elimination in the LAW Battle Royal. She glared down the big man as she screamed "Nobody beats down on my cousin, ya jackass! You better step off or get anchored to the bottom depths!" She did a full sprint to the ring as she rolled in beginning the punches on Omaniss as the big man was stumbling around.)
"Olivia Orelash! Oscar's cousin coming in hot with those fierce punches!" Russ screamed.
(Olivia laid about 20 punches into the head and yet Omaniss barely felt a scratch upon his forehead as Olivia rebounded off the west ropes trying for her Sea Shanty Bullseye (Claymore Kick), but Omaniss caught her by the face with his right hand. He slammed her down on her back before getting her up again. He places Olivia on his shoulders as Oscar propped himself up on his elbows before Omaniss let out a demonic chuckle hitting his Hell's Nazareth (Fireman's Carry Drop-Down Facebuster) on the privateer making her scream as she hit the mat face first. Oscar practically dove on top of Olivia to protect her trying to wave off Omaniss and luckily, the demonic man listened before the lights went out again as Oscar tried whispering to Olivia to check on her.)
"Lord Omaniss is here and this could spell trouble if he isn't easy to deal with," Greg stated.
"He only needed two moves to deal with Paul Wight of all people. I would say Oscar should always sleep in his bed with one eye open," Russ added.
(Back down in the trailers, Connor let himself in as Danny Jackpot sat at a table checking his social media on Instagram and Twitter. The suited interviewer saw the brunette with sunglasses wearing a yellow-buttoned up poker chip shirt as he nudged him on the shoulder.)
"Danny Jackpot, we saw a humiliating debut for you back in Texas and you were rumored to have a little challenge in mind for Harmonia Edelstein after she put you through that table on your very own show," Connor stated as he lowered the mic down.
"I may have gotten a job with WARFARE, but I will not tolerate some blonde ex-model to ruin the debut of what will be a treasured talk show in this business. She didn't like me calling the Texas crowd hicks and said I don't care about this sport like I think I do. Well, I'm going to prove her wrong when The Danny Jackpot Show comes tonight at Mount Rushmore. I want to see her step into my domain when stakes are involved," Danny replied.
"Any hints on what this challenge might be?" Connor asked.
"I'll only say it'll be a staple of my show and career going forward. Sometimes, a little risk is worth the reward and that's what I'm all about," Danny replied.
"Stakes? What kind of stakes?" Connor asked.
"Any stakes are risky in gambling so I hope the STARSTRUCK GM is up for the challenge. I got to make a phone call now so if you'll excuse me," Danny replied as he got up and quickly went out of the trailer into the parking lot.
("Rock 'N' Roll is King" by Electric Light Orchestra)
(The crowd cheered loudly as Ricky Morton comes out shaking his fists while Robert Gibson joined him waving to the crowd as they wore black leather jackets. They had cartoonish green shirts on with their names on the back in bright pink lettering, black tights with pink strips going down the legs as Ricky had pink triangles on the bottom of the tights while Robert had yellow triangles, and they wore white wrestling boots.)
The Rock 'n' Roll Express
Ricky Morton ( RealRickyMorton) and Robert Gibson ( RockNRollXPress)
"The following contest is a six-man tag team match set for one-fall! Introducing first, from Nashville, Tennessee, weighing in at a total combined weight of 453 lbs., Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson, The Rock 'n' Roll Express!" Misa announced.
"Well, it's time to roll back the clock some more as The Rock 'n' Roll Express have made their way to Keystone!" Russ exclaimed.
"These guys have been making it big on the indie circuit and they are even in their 60s, but they have proven it's just a number and they can still take hits and send them back harder," Greg added.
(The tag team came down slapping fives and signing some quick autographs on some signs as they cheered themselves on high-fiving each other on their way to the ring.)
("Cool, Cocky, and Bad" by Jimmy Hart and JJ Maguire ft. The Honky Tony Man)
(The HTM came out dressed in the same green shirt, white wristbands with two white strips attached to each, red tights with grey music note shingles on them, and white wrestling boots. His manager, Jimmy Hart, made his way out wearing a bright red jacket, piano tie, white dress shirt, red suit pants, and black dress shoes. HTM hollered to the crowd bringing an acoustic guitar with him as Jimmy lead him down the aisle megaphone in hand.)
The Honky Tonk Man ( OfficalHTM) w/ Jimmy Hart ( RealJimmyHart)
"Their partner, being accompanied to the ring by the Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart, from Memphis, Tennessee, weighing 246 lbs., The Honky Tonk Man!" Misa announced.
"One of the greatest to ever do it even if he had to do some underhanded stuff back in the day. Seeing him with Jimmy Hart brings me back to the 80s decade of wrestling," Russ stated.
"He doesn't wrestle much nowadays, but he does love to put on a show for the crowd and Hank wanted to get some well-known legends to compete tonight," Greg added.
(Some of the fans jammed and danced with some holding up their signs for the camera as HTM raised his left fist in the air coming to ringside before heading up the steel steps. Jimmy stayed outside as HTM headed to the north ropes heading inside the ring before jamming with the guitar.)
("Guns for Hire" by AC/DC)
(The crowd cheered heavily for the home state favorite as Corey Allison comes out pointing his fingers up as smoke goes up in the air. He sported short brunette hair and wore a sleeveless denim jacket, a Mount Rushmore sleeveless shirt, black fingerless gloves, ripped blue jeans, and black sneakers.)

("Rise from the Ashes" by Stria)
(A nice pop came for Issac Griffin as he came out sporting jaw-length brown hair, a bulky build, brown eyes, and a light skin complexion. He wore black tights with a fuchsia trim, white boots with a dark pink trim and black laces, black elbow pads with a fuchsia trim, fuchsia and black gloves, and fuchsia knee pads. He came out putting both hands in the air as he patted Corey on the back.)

"His partners, first, from Bismarck, North Dakota, weighing 230 lbs., he is The Dynasty, Issac Griffin!" Misa announced.
("2x4" by Jim Johnston)
(A massive pop uttered for WWE Hall of Famer "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan as he came out with his usual 2x4 plank of wood and the American Flag in hand. He wore one his white shirts, blue trunks, and blue boots as he put the plank of wood down waving the flag to the crowd.)
Hacksaw
Jim Duggan ( RealHacksawJim)
"And finally, legend "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan!" Misa announced as she began to step outside.
"Three cheers in one go and that's how you build a team!" Greg exclaimed.
"Jim Duggan going strong after all these years mainly just sticking to what he knows and having fun in the ring. Issac continuing the wrestling legacy for his family, and Corey comes home as the fans are ready to see what this trio is all about," Russ added.
(Duggan screamed "HOOOOOOOO!" as the fans chanted with him as he led the charge down to the ring as Corey and Issac followed with Issac picking up the plank of wood. Jim slapped fives before waving the flag again as the fans touched his back and he pointed towards signs with his partners closely behind. Corey shook hands before getting on the apron and Issac set the plank at the steel steps before heading up them. The official for this match is Howard Crinkle.)
Duggan put the American Flag into his team's corner getting in the ring to start things off going around the ring chanting "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" as Ricky would start for his team. The bell rang as both veterans circled one another before getting into a lockup that transitioned into Duggan locking Ricky in a headlock screaming "HOOOOOOOOOO!" Ricky leaned back pushing Duggan to the south ropes, but Duggan hit a Shoulder Block. Duggan then dropped his right elbow on the chest and then a forearm to the head. Duggan played to the crowd getting Ricky up telling Issac "GET THE BOOT UP, SON!" as Issac put the right boot up and Duggan drove Ricky's head into it. Ricky stumbled a bit as Duggan tagged Isaac in as Issac and Duggan whipped Ricky to the south before hitting a Double Back Body Drop as Ricky screamed grabbing his back while Duggan cheered with the crowd as the ref told him to get on the apron.
"Duggan not losing his step even in his old age and right now, The Honky Tonk Express has hit some car trouble," Russ observed.
Isaac grabbed Ricky up whipping him towards the upper right corner as Ricky hit side first as Issac came in to hit a Corner Clothesline with Ricky going to his team's corner.

Robert then got Issac into a headlock as Issac frailed his arms as Ricky got the crowd chanting "ROCK N ROLL! ROCK N ROLL! ROCK N ROLL! ROCK N ROLL! ROCK N ROLL!" as Robert got Issac up shoving him in his team's corner hitting right elbows to the head before tagging Ricky back in as both members ran hitting a Double Corner Dropkick as Isaac went down his stomach. Ricky dragged Issac out and turned him over to pin him hooking one leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Issac got the shoulder up after 2!
Ricky gets Isaac up shoving him in the upper right corner as Jimmy shouted in his megaphone and Ricky hits some left elbows to the head. Ricky then let Issac stumble out before hitting a Double Axe Handle taking Isaac down!
"The Rock 'n' Roll Express really doing a number on Issac and this makes up for Ricky pretty much falling out of the starting gate," Greg stated.
Ricky then tagged HTM in as that got a small cheer before HTM did some leg shimmy and hit a Lariat to Issac. He then hooked both legs!
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Duggan hit HTM's back to break the count!
HTM gets Issac up presenting him to his team doing a little heel display before tagging in Robert again as HTM holds Issac as Robert hit left elbows to the belly, but Issac ducks right as Robert accidentally struck an elbow to HTM's stomach. Issac got behind Robert pushing him into HTM taking both men down as Issac kicked the back of Robert and sent HTM out of the ring. Isaac goes to his corner tagging Corey in as the truck driver got mega cheers coming in as hit hits a Shoulder Tackle to Robert. Corey removes his jacket and started whipping Robert with it before sending it out south. Corey kicks Robert down before getting him up and whipping him south before hitting a Truck Stop (Deep Six) slamming Robert on his back! Robert grimaced as Corey puts him back down hooking both legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted as Hart got on the south apron arguing with the referee!
"Oh! Here comes the oldest trick in the book!" Russ exclaimed.
The referee instructed Jimmy to get down as Corey just goes over and flips Hart into the ring as he dropped his megaphone and he tried pleading with his attacker. HTM got up getting his manager out of harm's way as Corey leaned over the east top rope smirking. Ricky hit a Big Boot with Corey distracted as Robert rolled him up.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Issac hits a Dropkick to Robert's back breaking the count!
Robert rolled out of the ring as Corey gets up and Ricky got the "ROCK N ROLL" chants up and used them as motivation hitting a Slingshot Clothesline to take Corey down. He got Robert back in the ring as he gets on the apron and got tagged in as he heads up top. Ricky hits a Body Splash to Corey as he hooked the right leg as the ref got down.
"1…2…." The ref counted, but Corey kicked out at 2.7!
"Ricky is the only fresh member that can try to turn this around one way or another, but he's got three opponents to worry about here," Greg stated.
Ricky gets up as he gets Corey up, but Corey threw Ricky across the ring before he pointed at Duggan as a "HOOOOOOOOOOO!" chant rang out from the crowd and Duggan mirrored in accepting the tag before getting inside. He got down and pointed for Ricky running to hit his Three-Stance Clothesline! Duggan then went to hook both legs!
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as the bell rang!
("2x4" by Jim Johnston)
"Here are your winners "Truck Driver" Corey Allison, Issac Griffin, and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan!" Misa announced.
An instant replay shows both Rock 'n' Roll Express members hitting a Double Corner Dropkick to Issac making their opponent go down on his stomach, then a shot of Corey hitting the Truck Stop on Robert Gibson and then flinging in the Mouth of the South as the crowd popped for that, and the ending had Duggan run in to hit his Three-Point Stance Clothesline taking down Ricky Morton and hook both legs.
"While it was a rough start for The Honky Tonk Express, Robert and Ricky were able to sideline any momentum for the younger Issac as they worked well as a team to keep him occupied from his teammates," Russ stated.
"That was until Corey was able to get in the ring and the hometown boy did not disappoint using his brute strength to put down Gibson and even wanted some of Hart before the Honky Tonk Man pulled the loudmouth of the ring. Morton hit a Big Boot to get Corey off the case and tried coming in to save this for his team, but Duggan cut him off with the clothesline and it was enough to secure victory," Greg added.
(Duggan, Issac, and Corey were all brought to the middle of the ring as Howard raised Corey and Duggan's arms while Corey raised Issac's left arm to bring him into the celebration of things. Duggan shouted "HOOOOOOOOOO!" to the crowd before getting the American Flag to wave it around as Corey and Issac cheered lifting some of the flag up to display patriotism.)
A helicopter spotlight was shining into the camera as it flew past a city of bright lights and a skyline shot of a busy highway is shown. The scene transitions to the top of a skyscraper as black dress shoes pressed down on the concrete as the camera followed the shoes to the edge of the building. It panned upwards as the human figure appeared as a Hispanic male wearing a black suit jacket with a shaved head and sunglasses covering his eyes. He looked out at the city and took a deep smell of the scent in the air as the camera panned around to see his front side. He wore a straight red tie and white dress shirt as he looked into the camera.
"The city is no place for the likes of scum that rot the underground layers of it. I want to make sure the city of wrestling doesn't become a horrible wasteland of injustice. My name is Carlos Antonio Serrez and I'm known in this world as The Decider. I decide who goes free and who pays for indulgence. Who sleeps heavenly at night and who should fear the darkness. There is no middle ground with me. Be forewarned. WFPW will surely have its own corruptors and it's up to me to stop them."
CARLOS DECIDES ALL!
COMING SOON!
The next scene transitions to the image of a navy blue tour bus parked in a back alleyway as different males and females wearing party attire, cosplay outfits, and suits and dresses come down the alley shouting cheers, drinking beers, and getting boas thrown around their necks by other party members. The white cursive lettering on the side of the bus is revealed as the bus doors officially open letting the passengers onboard as they cheer. The words on the bus said "THE MAXY EXPRESS" and one of the windows in the back open with something being thrown away as the camera zoomed in on a half-eaten lime lollipop thrown on the ground.

(Pierre Bouvier comes out as the lights are dimmed in the heating tent as a single spotlight shines down at the entranceway. Pierre's blonde hair moves in the cold wind as he reaches his left hand to the rafters as multiple white roses come down and clobber him in the face softly. He picks one up and smells it looking over at the white rose tattoo with his daughter's name under it on his right bicep. He wore lavender tights with black accents and white trim, lavender knee pads with black and white trim, black boots with kick pads, a white hand wrap on his right hand, a lavender elbow pad with white trim on his right shoulder, a lavender armband covering his left arm, and white tape on his left shoulder. He also wore a glittery purple robe with a white trim as he started down the ramp.)
The French Artist
Pierre Bouvier ( SmellLikeARose)
"The following contest is set for one-fall! Introducing first, from Paris, France, weighing 237 lbs., he is the French Artist, Pierre Bouvier!" Misa announced.
(However, before commentary could do their job, Pierre made a motion for the music to come to a full stop as he asked for a mic inaudibly. A ring worker ran around the ring and up the ramp to give it to him as Pierre took it and the white rose in his other hand.)
"A show about celebrating your precious country…...I have more patriotism in my left pinky finger than you ingrates have in your entire bodies. I hope I don't need to mention the Paris Climate Agreement. But political affairs aside, I'm walking into enemy territory. I know you all want to see this disastrous politician beat the stuffing out of me. I know all the usual tropes. France was known as weaklings during times of war, but I'm above such weakness and incompetence. Besides, you all seem to forget that France gave you all your beloved Statue of Liberty. If I had any say in the matter, I'd take it down and turn it into cinderblock for an illustrious mansion!" Pierre spat as the boos started to grow higher from that last statement.
"Well, he's very enthusiastic about sculptures. Maybe he should've taken his nickname's occupation," Greg stated with a hint of sarcasm.
"There won't be any more American delight after I'm through with your sitting senator. He isn't worth the gum that sticks to my boots when I walk your filthy roads. You uneducated swine don't know your history and you don't know your places. I'll do everyone in the world a favor and show you all what I mean!" Pierre continued as he launched himself at an adult male fan, but backed up as the fan flinched in fear getting his fists up in defense.
(Pierre went up the steel steps slowly and into the ring as he cleared his throat to speak again, but the boos tried to drown out his voice.)
"Please have some respect, pigs! There is no interrupting a true professional at his work!" Pierre chided the audience.

(The crowd started cheering loudly at this new theme as they saw their governor, Kristi Noem, come out eating up the cheers as she wore a white cotton jacket, black t-shirt, black pants, and black combat boots. She hyped up the crowd before Caleb came out sporting short dirty blonde hair wearing a full black suit with red tie and an American Flag badge attached to his lapel. He had on white wrestling boots with teal blue laces tied and shook hands with Kristi as he led the charge down the ramp.)
Senator
Caleb Collins ( SenatorCollins)
"And his opponent, residing in Charlotte, North Carolina by way of Capitol Hill, Washington D.C., being accompanied to the ring by South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, weighing 237 lbs., he is Senator Caleb Collins!" Misa announced as she turned to get out of the ring.
"Caleb was elected back in November last year during the 2022 midterms and is now a sitting member of the U.S. Senate representing North Carolina. However, in his victory speech, he said that he would be a part-timer with his wrestling career," Russ stated.
"Caleb is very vocal about his love for America and I don't think he's going to take it easy after hearing the vile spit that Pierre created. This could get ugly for Fabio here," Greg added.
"And here comes the most disgusting pig of them all. You can honestly be proud of yourself when you didn't even come in proper wrestling attire? This is a disgrace to the sport!" Pierre bellowed.
(Caleb stopped halfway down the ramp as a ring worker rushed out another microphone for him to use as Kristi stayed by his side walking slowly behind him.)
"That's the beauty of America at display right there. You get that freedom to talk trash about this great nation, but know it's still the most powerful one you will ever step foot in. It's normally against the law to strike a sitting member of the U.S. Senate, but I'll put in motion my own official pardon for you so I can kick your sorry ass in front of my fellow Americans here tonight!" Caleb retorted as he got a big pop for his threat.
(Caleb started approaching the ring as he took off his suit jacket and his red tie handing them off to Kristi as he continued talking.)
"And I don't need official gear to get this job done. It'll be a sweet breeze," Caleb stated as he took off his dress shirt opting to wrestle in his suit pants.
Caleb flexed his muscles for the crowd as he handed his shirt to the governor before getting on the ring apron and heading inside as Pierre struck him before he could enter the ring fully. Tyrone Regis called for the bell and this match was underway with Pierre getting Caleb in the lower right corner just striking hard with fierce left elbows. The referee backed him up as Pierre untied his robe sending it outside before beckoning Caleb to come at him smacking the head of the politician. Caleb would then come out only to get punched down by Pierre as the crowd showed their displeasure with boos, but Pierre waved them off. He stomped on the right arm of his opponent as Caleb was kicked outside south and Pierre followed him. Pierre hit his back hard and bashed Caleb's face off the barricade as fans backed up in the front row.
"Not much of a breeze for Caleb at the start as Pierre is starting to throw him around the juggler," Russ stated.
Pierre sent Caleb around to the west side of the ring as the referee continued the count and the French Artist trash talked to Caleb before sending him left elbow first into the steel steps pushing off the top half. Pierre grabs Caleb up by the head getting him in the ring at 8 as he slides in before he knees Caleb in the gut grabbing him by the gut hitting a Gutwrench Suplex on the politician as Caleb grabbed his back rolling onto the east side apron. Pierre tried to reach over the top rope to get him, but Caleb headbutted him in the forehead getting him to back off. Caleb then gets himself up before using the top rope to fling himself over hitting a Slingshot Shoulder Tackle taking down Pierre! Caleb then started driving multiple punches into the French Artist's head before standing up to hit a Running Leg Drop before hooking both of the heel's legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Pierre powered out after 2!
"Caleb starting to mount some form of a comeback and he's trying to keep Pierre on the low end to hopefully keep him down long enough for a pin," Greg observed.
The crowd chanted "USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!" as Caleb used their support to throw up his left fist in sync with the chants, but Pierre hit a Mule Kick to his gut before Pierre quickly picked him up sideways taking the senator down with a Sidewalk Slam! Pierre then hooked the right leg of Caleb!
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Caleb kicked out at 2.6!
Pierre flipped off the crowd getting major boos for his disrespect as he gets Caleb up and gets him in position for his Golden Cross signature, but Caleb ducks down and scoots under Pierre's legs and used his own legs to flip Pierre forward getting the French Artist in a Cazadora Rollup Pin!
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Pierre quickly kicked out at 2.7!
Pierre rolls forward to his feet as he must try and clear his head before Caleb gets back up turning him around and lifting Pierre on his shoulders. He then does an Airplane Spin to make Pierre even dizzier as the crowd chanted counting numbers to the times Caleb spun Pierre around. Caleb got to 25 times before standing in the middle of the ring and hitting a Release GTS as Pierre goes down on his back. Caleb then climbed the lower right corner as he soaked in the "USA!" chants coming from the crowd as he balanced himself high screaming to the rafters before hitting his Diving Range (Diving Headbutt) finisher! Pierre buckled a little bit grabbing his head before Caleb covered him hooking both legs!
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as the crowd cheered loudly and Kristi clapped her hands holding all of Caleb's clothes.

"Here is your winner, Senator Caleb Collins!" Misa announced.
An instant replay shows the ending moments of the match as Caleb hit his Diving Range finisher and pinned Pierre for the win.
"Well, I think we can tell whose patriotic soul was the bigger flare tonight," Greg stated.
"Pierre started off decent enough until Caleb was able to put his foot in the back door and get a lot of sneaky counters in order to pull this one off. Making Pierre dizzy was simple in the slightest of things," Russ added.
(Caleb gets up as he holds his stomach, but raises his left hand and shouts out to the crowd leaning on the south top rope. Kristi comes into the ring and hands off the red tie to Caleb as he puts it on tightening it up making a comedy spot as Pierre rolled out to the south floor.)
