(PCUW Green room)
The PCUW roster are all hanging out minus the Rookie Revolution members (Who have their own room) and a select few others. Faces are mostly hanging out with Faces and heels talking to other heels. Aries Austin is a minority however as he's talking into his IPhone. Colt Anderson walks in in his street clothes and the internet title and for once is met with a tiny show of respect from his peers via an applause. Colt grins as Phil high fives him.
"You actually did it! I mean seriously. You actually won something. That never happens. It's like the wrestling gods just wanted to be a dick to the world and fuck all logic by having you win." Phil Says
"Well I was talking to Ares earlier today." Mentions Colt.
"I would never talk to you." Aries says
"No the other Ares." Says Colt
"You mean Daniel Solwold, that bastard who stole my name, switched it around to make it his ring name." Questions Aries
"No the other Ares!" Says Colt.
"Oh…. Never heard of him." Aries says.
"Right, anyways congratulations Colt." Edd says stepping up to him and shaking his hands. "You not only won the Internet title for PCUW. You were able to defeat Johnny Cage and possibly hurt him badly. This continues the bad luck streak for the Rookie Revolution tonight." Says Edd
"And more importantly he took a TCW Title." Eddy yells earning a cheer for him.
"He did. But, this doesn't help peace between our companies." Says Edd. The PCUW Roster all groan at Edd's comment as Aries stepped back into the conversation.
"Peace? We're never going to have peace with them. They wanted war with us and they fired the first shot with buying out Asheel and probably buying out Ivory who isn't here with us. Tonight is just the beginning of us firing back at them. PCUW is leaving tonight as big winners and they'll leave as losers. Mandy has already pinned the UCA Womens champion in lethal lockdown. Eddy's going to become the Best of the best and win a golden briefcase which he'll fail at cashing in if decides to cash in on me after I take his title Summerfest. I will beat Timmy Turner tonight before I take PCUW World title. Then to top it off, you and Ed will get the win against the Revolution after you take care of that traitor on your team Asheel." Says Aries
"Aries is right for once. All that is going to happen except him winning my PCUW World title. We're all walking out the best company and TCW plus the traitor isn't." Says Eddy. Before, Aries could say anything Edd spoke up.
"Eddy, I know you are unhappy with Asheel's recent actions. But, we will not betray him. I will co-exist with him." Says Edd
"Who's side are you on?" Aries asked a little unhappy with Edd's choice in actions.
"I'm on PCUW's side but, I will give Asheel my trust for the sake of taking down the Rookie Revolution." Edd says.
"But he-" Was all Eddy could say
"I will not conspire against him. He still hates the Rookie Revolution as much as the next guy and he will be a part of my team. End of discussion." Edd yells at them to the surprise of the PCUW Superstars and knockouts. Eddy gave Edd a look then he leaves the room knowing he had a match next
(Back in the arena)
"That's one less person for Asheel to worry about in our main event later tonight." Says Jay
"Yeah, but he has 18 others to watch out for. Namely one man named Ed." Says Iroh.
(No More words by EndeverafteR plays)
"The following is a Best of the best Semi-Final match and it is set for one fall. First he is representing UCA, Crash Bandicoot." Perch says as some people cheer him but it's clear that the reaction from earlier was no more. (55/20)
"Crash Bandicoot has surprised the world against Claude and survived a match against Buu." Recaps Iroh
"Crash has had a long and painful road to the semi's. If he loses tonight then he will be disappointed and it further ruin the brackets of fans everywhere." Says Jay
(Feedback by Dale Oliver plays)
"And his opponent representing PCUW. He is the PCUW World champion Eddy!" Perch says as the crowd meets Eddy with a thunderous ovation. We see a shot of Crash in the ring taken aback from the reaction Eddy has gotten. (80/0)
"What a reaction for Eddy. I guess he has the majority on his side tonight." Says Iroh
"That's a confidence for Eddy who almost lost to TCW Rookie Tommy Pickles and had a back and forth contest with Danny Phantom." Says Jay.
The bell rings as Crash and Eddy circle each other. Eddy fakes a charge against Crash and Crash jumps back. Eddy lets out a small chuckle at Crash flinching. Crash didn't look too happy after seeing some people laugh in the crowd. Crash jumped at Eddy but, Eddy sidestepped and put him in a waistlock as Crash was on all fours. Eddy rolled on the canvas with Crash still in a waist lock. Then he rolled back. Eddy pulled himself up and threw Crash up in the air and slammed him against the canvas before locking in a front facelock. Crash was able to slip out. He tried to kick Eddy in the head but Eddy ducked and jumped to his feet. Eddy then dropkicked Crash's leg before putting him in a side headlock.
"Eddy is pacing himself and trying to keep the match slow for his benefit." Says Jay
"He knows he won't be able to beat crash in a high flying contest Crash but, he knows he can beat Crash in a technical, slow paced match." Iroh analyzes.
Crash is able to pull himself and Eddy to a vertical base but, he is stuck in the side headlock. He elbows Eddy not once but, twice to make him let go. Crash quickly tried to run at the ropes but, Eddy stops him by grabbing him by the waist and pulling him back. Eddy tries to kick Crash in the gut but, Crash grabs his foot and pushes it to the side. Eddy dragon whips Crash using that momentum. Eddy stops Crash's small momentum and picks Crash's leg up and kicks in four times quickly before throwing it to the canvas. People start to chant "Let's go Crash." As Eddy then drops an elbow across his chest. A "Crash really sucks" chant begins to counter the "Let's go Crash" chants. It was about 35/50 in this chant duel. Eddy bounces off the ropes and hits a leg drop across the chest of Crash.
"This crowd is either with or against Crash." Says Jay
"I don't think they're against Crash. I think they just support Eddy more." Says Iroh
"I can see that. He is in more companies and in higher positions than Crash." Jay says in agreement
Eddy crouches in the corner as the CWF fans know whats next and a lot of fans stand up thinking this is the early end. Eddy charges at Crash with a Spear-ED in mind. But, Crash jumps over Eddy. Eddy almost runs into the turnbuckle but stops and turns around to be dropkicked into the corner by Crash. Crash Irish whipped Eddy out of the corner and into the opposite one. Crash charges at Eddy only for Eddy to elevate his feet. But, Crash caught both and Eddy out of the corner. This caused him to fall straight from the air into the canvas. The crowd either say "oh" or cheer knowing Crash is on offense.
"Crash is finally on Offense." Says Jay
"For now; Eddy can easily get back in control at any moment" Says Iroh.
Crash pulls Eddy up by his three hairs. Crash kicks him in the gut and plows him with a Gourdbuster. Crash then pulls Eddy up by one arm and puts him in a wrist lock. Crash then jumps onto the top rope and springboard off it and hits an arm drag. Crash then rolls up to his feet and lands a jumping Knee to the head of Eddy in one motion. Eddy sits up trying the cobwebs as Crash bounces off the ropes and hits a low dropkick on him. Crash tries to pin him.

Kick out! Crash stands up before Eddy and bounces off the ropes. Eddy however throws Crash over the ropes as he comes back. But, Crash lands on the apron and runs to the top turnbuckle. Eddy saw him and runs toward the turnbuckle only for Crash to jump off, catch him with his legs and hit a frankensteiner! He pins him

Kick out!
"Crash is on a roll and he's taking things to a place Eddy tried to avoid." Says Jay
"Crash better be careful though. Eddy is a really crafty guy if you screw up once." Iroh says
Crash tries to do a high kick but, Eddy ducks. Eddy attempts a enziguri but, Crash ducks. Eddy rolls to his feet and is met with a chop. Crash goes to Irish Whip Eddy but, Eddy reverses. Crash comes back and jumps over Eddy's head. Crash rebounds and this time Eddy did a front chop block to make Crash fall flat on his face. But, that wasn't it. He locked in the Money Lock! The crowd popped loud at the move as Crash instantly met pain. Crash tries to scramble to the ropes with his arms but they're so far away. A small "Let's go Crash" chant starts up. Crash uses that as motivation to roll through the move. Eddy almost hits the ropes but stops and turns around straight into a Wumpa Twist!
"This could be it!" Jay says as Crash pins him.

Kick out! And the crowd jumps out of their seats and cheers Eddy's courage. Crash lets out a sigh before he moves on to the second thing he has planned. He climbs up to the top turnbuckle, a little slowly however due to Eddy. Crash jumps off going for the Crash landing. Only for Eddy to move out of the way. Eddy quickly goes back to the Money lock. Crash quickly makes a leap to the ropes but, Eddy shows surprising strength and pulls Crash away in midair. Eddy is able to walk in a half circle and makes Crash face the ropes farthest from him. Crash tries to roll through again but, Eddy keeps a grip on the ankle and stands up again. The pain is getting to Crash as Eddy pulls him back knowing that Crash is closer to the ropes now. Crash's Ankle could be shattered right now as Eddy is really wrenching on it. Crash tries to roll through again and it works as Eddy flies off him straight into the referee. Crash hobbles up on one and turns Eddy around and hits an Aftershock. Crash pins him but the ref is out.
"Surprisingly our first ref bump of the night." Says Jay
"Crash really screwed himself over right now." Iroh says
"Especially when one of his ankles are close to a sprain or worse." Jay says as he notices the effects of the money lock
Crash crawls toward the ref and shakes him with one hand as the other is on his ankle. It kind of works but, he is interrupted when grabs a hold of his ankle again and locks in the money lock. Crash yells in pain as his ankle he knows his ankle is hurting. Crash taps, knowing that Eddy could cost months of his career with his Dangerous Money lock. Eddy lets go in respect but, soon realizes the ref didn't see it because he was starting to get up. Eddy's was devastated. He sees Crash get up using the ropes. Eddy pulls him out of there in position for a Suckerbreaker as the ref was up and back to contesting this match. Eddy was not able to hit the suckerbreaker because Crash countered into a surprise Wumpa Twist. Crash rolled him over and pinned him!

"Here is your winner 18:15 and advancing to the finals, UCA's Crash Bandicoot!" Perch says as the crowd cheer for the awesome match but, some are unhappy with the Ending.
"Crash tapped but, the ref didn't see it." Jays says "This isn't right."
"Crash doesn't look happy about how he advanced either. It was clear that Eddy should've won this but, in the end Crash got a lucky break." Iroh says as we see Crash in the ring holding his ankle which is feeling pain while, looking disappointed at the way he won. As the ref checked on him Crash actually said something. The ref went to Perch and told he something. Perch then spoke into the mic as Eddy began to rise to his feet.
"Attention Ladies and Gentlemen. UCA's Crash Bandicoot has said that he refuses to advance to the finals of the Best of Best tournament due to him submitting when the ref had his back turned. Therefore, advancing to the finals of the Best of the Best Tournament-" Was all Perch could say.
"Hold up there Perch." Came the voice of TCW Owner, Asheel Din senior who appeared on the Titantron. "I saw the match and I know what happened. Crash won despite the controversy surrounding it so he will indeed compete in the Best of the Best finals later tonight. As for PCUW's Eddy Verra. Well he won't be competing in a Singles match at the finals of the Best of the Best Tournament."
The crowd boos
"Hey, don't boo me. Like I said Eddy Verra will not compete in the singles match that will be the finals of the tournament." Asheel repeats
You can see a unhappy Eddy in the ring as Crash has a look of sorrow on his face
"But, he will compete in the Triple Threat Finals of the Best of the Best tournament!" Says Asheel
Eddy then looked up with a huge smile on his face. Crash's sorrow was gone. Eddy turned to Crash who hobbled up to his feet and offered his hand. Eddy shook Crash's hand to huge pop and left with a grin. Crash stood in the ring as his hand was raised by the ref and he got a huge pop from them.
"A Triple threat as the Best in the World finals! This is going to be a must see match Iroh" Says Jay
"Asheel Din Sr. just made everyone happy in this arena. Crash and Eddy will face off once again with either Slade or Dan Kuso joining them and this time there will be no controversial decisions or DQ's or Count outs." Iroh says
A/N: Well, I figured out a way to make the Money lock look more dangerous and get Crash & Eddy to the finals (Because I wanted both to make it there for reasons to be explained in a later A/N) while making Eddy not look like a sheep and not making Crash like a heel. I could've done a double pin looking back at this. But, everyone does that and that's not what I do. Honestly, I forgot the original plan I had for this match so I just rolled with it as I went on. We also learned that Edd will stand by Asheel IV unlike the rest of their team. Let's hope TCW doctors can heal Crash's ankle by the time of the finals. Since they work for me. The answer is yes. Up next is Dan Kuso vs Slade. Should be up soon. Maybe this weekend if I don't have anything to do. Review and crap like that. Toonwriter will buy you waffles.
