BTWF WarZone (Part 1)
"Go to War" by Nothing More plays as fireworks go off on stage, as the crowd cheers. The camera pans around the arena, where the crowd is chanting "BTWF!", "TWAE Sucks!" and "Natsu Rules" with signs that are pro-Natsu, anti-TWAE, and the crowd are stomping their feet in anticipation.
"Everyone here is practically exploding from anticipation. Hello everybody! Welcome to BTWF WarZone! I'm Jim Ross, alongside my broadcast partners, Naoko Akagi and Benson!" JR introduced, as the camera pans to Benson and Naoko.
"That's right JR, we have a night full of action for you. A steel cage match, an interpromotional 12 person tag team match, and even a Barroom Brawl. This is shaping up to be one exciting night of wrestling action," Benson elaborated, being nearly drowned out by the cheering crowd.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's get this show started with a tag team match that was announced before the show went on the air," Naoko said, as the camera pans to the entrance, where "Legacy" by Adelitas Way plays, as Sting and Rouge come out to a mixed reaction.
"The following contest is a tag team match, scheduled for one fall. Approaching the ring, from Magnolia, the team of Rouge and Sting, the Legacy!" Justin Roberts announces, as the two jaw jack with the fans at ringside.
"These two men earned a tag team title match at a later date against Naruto and Sheldon Lee of the NWO after helping the NWO beat down the Pines Brothers, Stan and Ford Pines," JR explained as Legacy made their way to the ring, giving each other a hi five when they got to the center of the ring.
"And after that, Gene Belcher and Eddy confronted them about them not earning a shot in their eyes, only getting this opportunity because of being Yes-men," Benson elaborated before Shane McMahon's theme song blared through the arena, and the crowd cheered as Eddy came in, dancing much like Shane McMahon. When he gets halfway up the pathway, he points to the stage, and techno dance music plays, revealing Gene Belcher.
"You really think that these two dancing idiots have a chance against a team like Legacy?" Naoko asked, as Gene and Eddy danced their way to the ring, much to the crowd's delight and Legacy's annoyance.
"One thing that is certain in wrestling is that you can expect anything, I thought you would've picked that up by now, Naoko," JR replied, as Gene and Eddy got to their corner. Sting and Gene decide to start the match for their respective teams.
*Bell rings*
Gene and Sting lock up in the middle of the ring with Sting winning the initial meeting with a headlock. Sting kept him in the headlock until Gene threw him off and hit Sting with a shoulder tackle when he rebounded off of the top rope. Gene gave the fans a gun show before he ran the ropes, leapfrogged over Sting's now standing body, and hit him with a Japanese arm drag, before locking him in an armbar. Sting was able to get back on his feet, and pull on Gene's hair to escape the hold. Gene however grabbed back onto Sting's arm, and tagged Eddy into the match, allowing them to do a double hip toss, before doing some breakdancing to the crowd's delights.
"These idiots need to stop dancing or else they're going to squander this opportunity," Naoko chastised, as Rogue ran into the ring, but was hit with a double dropkick by Gene and Eddy before Gene hit a spinebuster onto Rogue.
"You were saying?" Benson asked, which Naoko responded to by rolling her eyes.
Eddy picked Sting up and put him into the corner, and started punching Sting in the gut. Eddy moved back and ran towards the corner, but Sting counters it with a boot to the face before hitting a one handed bulldog onto Eddy. Sting hits a few knee drops onto Eddy before tagging Rogue into the match. Sting hit an elbow drop at the same time that Rogue hit a fist drop onto Eddy. Rogue picked Eddy up, and hit him with a sitout spinebuster before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
Eddy kicks out before Rogue mounts Eddy and punches him in the face before the referee pulled him off. Rogue throws Eddy into his corner, and tagged Sting back into the match, hitting him with an arm wringer into a double gut punch. Sting hit a german suplex on Eddie and put him in a headlock.
"Well that german suplex definitely weakened the head enough for this hold," JR explained, as Sting turned it into a chinlock with a knee to the back.
"And with that knee to the back, that tapout may come earlier than we think," Naoko continued, as Eddy kept trying to fight back.
Eddy was able to elbow Rogue in the head to get him away from the headlock, before trying to hit a Finn Balor like dropkick, but was cut off by Rogue, turning it into the Boston Crab. Eddy tried to make it to the ropes, but Sting kicked his hands away from the ropes. Gene tried to get into the ring to confront Sting, but the referee pushed Gene back into his corner. While the referee was distracted, Sting got into the ring, and stomped on Eddy's back while Rogue kept him in the Boston Crab.
"Look at the tag team excellence of Sting and Rogue," Benson applauded, as Eddy writhed in agony and pain.
"This is why they're one of the top tag teams in this company," Naoko explained, as Eddy tried again to reach the ropes. Eddy, eventually was able to turn himself around, and push Rogue off of him with his feet. Eddy tried to jump up to tag Gene back into the match, but Rogue grabbed him before he could tag Gene. Rogue tried to pull Gene back to his corner, but Eddy was able to knee Rogue in the face, and push him slightly, which gave him the opening to tag Gene in.
"And Eddy finally gets a moment of reprieve!" JR exclaimed as Gene hit Bionic Elbows on both Rogue and Gene, while the crowd was cheering on. Gene hit a suplex onto Rogue, and hit a running headbutt to Rogue's head. Gene then hit a running leg drop onto Rogue and picked him up for a suplex. Rogue punched Gene in the stomach and attempted his own suplex, but Gene countered it into a small package.
Ref: 1…2
"How did someone so fat like Gene do something like that?" Naoko insulted, and Gene hit Rogue with a right hook that sent him back to the floor.
"You should know never to judge a wrestler by their looks, Naoko," JR chastised as Gene started jumping around, much to the delight of the crowd.
"JR, Naoko, could he be doing what we think he's doing?" Benson said excitedly, as the crowd spelled out "W…O…R…M".
"Did that move ever finish anyone off ever?" Naoko asked, as Gene actually started doing the worm, causing the crowd to cheer even louder.
"Well no, but anything that causes damage and entertains the crowd at the same time can only be a good thing," JR responded, as Gene actually hit the Worm on Rogue, only to turn around to a Disaster kick from Sting.
"Now that was a counter!" Naoko cheered as Sting hit Eddy with a Disaster Kick as he came into the ring to save his friend and partner. Rogue was able to get up as Gene groggily got up, and lock him in the Cobra Clutch before hitting him with a Nightmare Street (Dream Street) after 30 seconds in a hold. Sting hit a springboard crossbody onto Eddy on the outside as Rogue went for the pin.

*Bell rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, Sting and Rogue, the Legacy!" Justin Roberts announced, as the crowd booed.
"If there's any doubt that these two young men deserve the #1 contendership for the World Tag Team titles, that doubt must have been erased," Naoko exclaimed as Sting and Rogue hugged each other in the center of the ring.
"I have to agree with you there, Naoko. These two showed excellent tag team prowess, but you can't discount the effort of Gene and Eddy," JR responded.
*At a nearby bar*
"So, this is the spot where my client, Owen will win the hardcore title," Mr. Enter mused, while drinking a bottle of Coke sitting at the bar with Owen sitting next to him. "While this place is a slum just like the rest of this awful city, we're going to make it famous. Many other superstars will be vying for this new Hardcore title, but unfortunately for them I promised Owen gold would be around his waist soon, and I'm a man who likes to keep his promises," he continued as he began to laugh.
"Oh how rude of me, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jonathan Enter, but you all will call me Mr. Enter. I am here to improve not only the BTWF, but all of your miserable lives by showing you the talent my client possesses that you all chose to ignore for far too long. You all boo and jeer now, but you'll thank me later when Owen becomes the most dominant force in the BTWF and the ratings for the BTWF skyrocket," Mr. Enter further explained before Owen put a hand on Enter's shoulder and looked straight into the camera.
"And my dominance starts tonight," Owen stated as the two clinked their glasses together.
*Back to ringside*
"Owen and Mr. Enter extremely confident heading into this barroom brawl," JR stated.
"Well, with the brains of Mr. Enter, and the brawn of Owen, it's hard not to be confident," Naoko countered, as the lights in the arena turned purple while "Fear Nothing" by CFO$ plays.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making her way to the ring, from Springfield, Illinois, the Woman that Gravity Forgot, Zia Simpson!" Justin Roberts introduced as the crowd cheered when Zia ran out of the wall of smoke in and pyro on the stage. The crowd cheered as she ran to the ring, slid through the bottom rope, and played air guitar on her knees.
"These two women have been brawling over their difference in wrestling philosophies," Benson explained as Zia posed on the top rope, much to the delight of the crowd. Her music was interrupted my "My Fight" by Ashes to New, as the crowds cheers immediately turned to boos, as Hana Morenos came out in a black hoodie, covering much of her face except for her mouth.
"And her opponent, from Phoenix, Arizona, Hana Morenos!" Justin Roberts announced to the chagrin of the crowd.
"These two have been fighting nonstop and…wait, what is Zia doing?" Benson asked when he saw Zia run. Zia ran over the ropes and hit a corkscrew plancha onto Hana when she was in front of the ring. Zia mounted Hana and started hitting her with punches and elbows.
"Zia taking it full force to Hana with a corkscrew plancha!" JR exclaimed as Zia repeatedly bashed Hana's head onto the ring apron before being separated by the referee.
"Hopefully the ref can calm Zia down so that the match can actually start," Naoko said, as Hana rolled into the ring, holding her head that had a small cut on the left side of her head right above her ear. Zia took a few deep breaths and calmed down before she entered the ring through the middle rope, but was intercepted with a kick to the head by Hana. The referee pushed Hana back briefly before he rang the bell, officially starting the match.
Hana put Zia into the corner, and started kneeing her in the gut. Zia crumpled to the bottom turnbuckle, allowing Hana to choke her with her boot. Hana then ran the ropes and hit a running face wash onto Zia before picking her up for a suplex. Hana hit the suplex, before kneeing her back repeatedly and locking her in a bodyscissors. Zia was able to slip out of the bodyscissors, and mounted Hana again to punch and elbow her in the face.
"And Zia is taking it to Hana with Hana's own ground and pound style," JR stated, as Zia irish whipped Hana into the corner, and hit her with a running corner uppercut, before she kicks her knee, sending Hana falling to the canvas face first. Zia put Hana in a sitting position before she went on Bret's rope, and hit a diving uppercut to the back of Hana's head. Zia hit a standing corkscrew moonsault onto Hana before going for a pin.
Ref: 1…2
Hana kicked out, and Zia picked Hana up by the head, and bashed her head into the corner a couple of times before hitting more uppercuts to Hana's head, before setting her up in the corner and running to the other corner. Zia ran to Hana, but Hana was able to move out of the way, sending her arm straight into the corner post. Hana groggily got up, grabbed Zia by the back of her top, and threw her into a ring post on the other side of the ring before rolling her up.
Ref: 1…2
Zia kicked out, which Hana responded to by stomping on Zia's arm and back. Hana picked up Zia and hit her with a belly to belly suplex. Hana started giving Zia fist drops before turning Zia onto her stomach, and hitting her with knees to the gut and to the head. Hana then went to the top rope and put an arm up getting the crowed to cheer, before she climbs down and hits a regular elbow drop onto Zia, causing the crowd to boo her. Hana then pins Zia with her foot on Zia's throat.
Ref: 1…2
Zia pushes off Hana off of her, tackles her, and starts punching Hana in the back, before Hana tossed Zia through the middle rope, getting her some reprieve. Zia went back into the ring, getting a kick in the arm in return. Hana picked up Zia in a suplex position, but Zia was able to land on her feet and counter with a neckbreaker.
"Zia somehow still has some fight in her, after all the punishment she went through at the hands of Hana," Naoko stated, as Zia ran the ropes and hit a running shooting star press onto Hana.
"How Zia still has the energy to hit these high flying and high impact moves I will never know," Benson stated, as Zia went for a pinfall, but Hana kicked out at 2.
"Hana and Zia both are giving it all for this win, which could theoretically put them in contention for the women's title," JR explained, as Zia put Hana in the corner. Zia hit several elbows before hitting a monkey flip on Hana, but Hana was able to land on her feet, and hit a clothesline to the back of Zia's head. Hana took a few deep breaths, before she picked Zia up for a suplex, and hit her with a Shouten and went for the pinfall.
Ref: 1…2
Zia kicked out, and Hana immediately put her in an armbar. Zia tried to crawl to the ropes, but Zia grabbed her left leg, putting it in a hold as well. Zia stopped crawling and started screaming in pain as the fans started clapping, trying to will Zia out of this hold. Zia was able to crawl quickly to the ropes, causing the referee to push Hana off of Zia. Hana grabbed Zia in a full nelson position, but Zia was able to counter it into a roll up.
Ref: 1…2
Hana was able to reverse the pin into one of her own, grabbing onto Zia's jeans.
Ref: 1…2
Zia kicked out and slapped Hana before hitting her with a snap swinging neckbreaker. Zia went to the top rope, played a little air guitar, and dived to hit a Blue Arrow (Red Arrow). Hana, however, was able to move out of the way, causing Zia to hit the canvas face first. Hana moved to the corner to regain her breath and energy.
"I think that the Blue Arrow might have hurt Zia in this instance," JR stated, as Zia tried to stand up with the help of the ropes.
"And that's why Hana's motto is 'No Flips, Just Fists'," Naoko exclaimed, as Hana stood up and eyed Zia like a shark seeing blood in the water. Zia, still holding onto the ropes, clutching at her abdomen, glared back at Hana, before spitting in her face, telling her to bring it on. Hana wiped the spit off of her face before hitting multiple knees to Zia's face before putting her in a Rear Naked Choke.
Zia tried to go to the ropes, but Hana punched Zia in the gut before sending her to the ground. When Hana tried to lock her legs around Zia's midsection, Zia hit Hana with elbows before trying to stand up. Hana kept the Rear Naked Choke locked in, but Zia put her legs onto Bret's rope, and pushed back, rolling up Hana while still in the choke.
Ref: 1…2…3
*Bell rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Zia Simpson!" Justin Roberts announced, as the crowd cheered, and Zia went out of the rings to hi five fans.
"Ala Bret Hart vs. Roddy Piper at WrestleMania 8, Zia was able to counter the Rear Naked Choke into a pinfall victory," JR explained, as Hana was arguing with the referee, insisting that her shoulders weren't down.
"Zia has amazing in ring prowess for someone so young," Naoko complimented, as Zia started playing air guitar in the middle of the ramp way, while Hana was yelling at both her and the referee.
"I don't think Hana arguing with the referee is going to help her case," Benson stated, as Hana left the ring, running her hands through her hair. Fans were booing and laughing at Hana, and she responded by yelling at them and flipping them off.
"Well as we leave this finish, we go backstage to Matt Striker, who is standing by with our chairman, Chris Drahmin," JR introduced as the camera goes backstage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the chairman of the BTWF, Chris Drahmin," Matt Striker introduced, as the chairman came into the shot with a smirk on his face as the crowd cheered for him.
"So sir, I must ask you straight away, what are the plans for tonight's 12 man interpromotional tag team main event for WarZone?" Striker asked, as Chris' smirk remained on his face before he gave Striker a pat on the shoulder.
"All will be revealed in due time," Chris said, before leaving. Matt tried to get him to elaborate, but Drahmin had already left, leaving Striker befuddled.
"Well…a very vague message by our chairman, but for now, let's go to the local bar for our Barroom Brawl match. The winner of this match will become the first ever BTWF Hardcore champion
*At the local bar*
Owen and Mr. Enter smile as Joe Wolf, Charlie Bonifer, Black Star, Lincoln Loud, Riley Freeman, Fuyuki, Nico, Toby, and Yuka arrive at the bar.
"Well, well, well, looks like you all decided to show up. Well it doesn't matter because Owen is still going to win the match, and leave you all in a bloody heap!" Enter mocked, before Bonifer took a napkin dispenser from one of the tables, and threw it right in his head, sending him down. Bonifer then went right after Owen along with Joe Wolf, Lincoln Loud, and Black Star. The bell rings before the other competitors went after each other.
Nico kicked Riley down to the ground, before going on top of a table and hitting Riley with a Coast to Coast dropkick, sending him through the counter. Fuyuki broke a glass over Nico's head, and punched him a few times in the head before hitting him with a neckbreaker onto the wooden floor. Toby and Yuka grabbed Fuyuki and threw him over the counter, where Toby dove over the counter and clubbed Fuyuki with his fists before Fuyuki gouged Toby's eyes, and hit Toby with another glass.
"These guys are not hesitating in this match, are they?" Benson asked, noting all the broken glass and counter that happened within seconds of the match.
Mr. Enter was able to recover from the shot to the stomach with the napkin dispenser. He held the napkin dispenser in his hand, and hit Lincoln Loud and Charlie Bonifer in the back of the head with the dispenser, allowing Owen to recover by throwing Bonifer and Loud to the other side of the bar, before he hit Black Star with a scoop slam on the floor, and hit a savate kick onto Joe Wolf.
Meanwhile, Nico had recovered and mounted Bonifer with punches, before he picked Bonifer up, and slammed his head multiple times onto a nearby table.
"Thank God the bar was emptied out before this match started," Naoko said, as Fuyuki and Yuka got into a fist fight behind the counter while Toby was being stomped in the corner of the bar by Riley.
"Yeah, Lord knows the number of lawsuits we'd have on our hands if there were still civilians in this bar," JR said while massaging his head, imagining the lawsuits that the company would have been swamped with.
Riley grabbed Toby's foot and pushed him back into the shelves full of bottles of beer, and some of the bottles fell on Toby. Yuka came up from behind Riley and pushed him into the shelves, but Riley was able to grab onto the shelves, and hit a corkscrew crossbody onto Yuka, sending the both of them through a table by the door. Lincoln then grabbed Riley as he got up and hit him with a DDT onto the wooden floor. Lincoln then runs on the counter, but is hit with a clothesline by Owen, sending him crashing down behind the counter, and onto Toby.
Owen picked Joe for a powerslam, but Joe was able to squirm out of it, hit a low blow onto Owen, grab a few chairs, throw a couple at Owen, and hit Owen with the last one several times until it breaks. Black Star grabbed the pieces of wood, and smacked Joe in the face with it, along with a downed Owen. Mr. Enter jumped onto Black Star's back and raked his eyes. Black Star, however, was able to throw Enter off of him and onto Joe and Owen. Black Star grabbed Yuka from the other side of the bar, put him on a table, climbed up the shelves of the bar, and hit a Falling Star (Twisted Bliss) onto Yuka, putting him through the table before going for the pin.

*Bell rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, And the inaugural BTWF Hardcore champion, Black Star!" Justin Roberts called as the crowd cheered while Black Star celebrated his win with some beers while Enter glared at Black Star.
"And just like that ladies and gentlemen, Black Star has won the hardcore title," Naoko stated, while Enter and Black Star argued over the Hardcore title.
"That match was fast paced hardcore action, and in the end, Black Star was the one to come out of it standing and with the title," JR elaborated, as Black Star pushed Enter to the ground, and gloated with the title.
"Just imagine how the future defenses for the title are-" Benson started, before the door to the bar opened, revealing a man with black hair, stubble, a shirt that said "Brooklyn Brewed", a baseball hat, his hands in his pockets, and a smile on his face.
"Hey man, fans aren't allowed here," Black Star warned, trying to push the man back, but the man didn't move.
"Oh I'm not a fan. I was actually supposed to be in this match, but I ran a little late. You won?" the man asked, the smile on his face growing toothy, and his voice dripping with honey, which Black Star didn't notice.
"Yeah, I just beat all of these guys and proved why I'm one of the best," Black Star responded, with the stranger nodding.
"Well that really is great! I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Pete Corvus, and I'm going to be the next Hardcore champion," Pete said, with his smile fading as he grabbed a beer bottle and hit Black Star right in the face. Pete knelt down to the rolling form of Black Star, as he was bleeding. "I'll see you soon Black Star. Make sure you keep that title warm for me," Pete mocked as he left the bar with a drink.
"And former GTS superstar Pete Corvus making his mark known in the BTWF!" Benson exclaimed.
"I mean, if there is a way to make an entrance it would be attacking an inaugural champion," Naoko explained.
"There is no doubt that Black Star will give Pete Corvus a receipt. Now, we go backstage to Brandon Castle, with a special interview regarding the first Octane after WarZone," JR stated, as the camera cut away to backstage, with Brandon Castle holding a microphone.
"Thank you JR. Now ever since Starshow several months ago, we have not seen the Totally Spies after they lost a 6 woman tag team match to Alexis Rhodes, Erza Scarlet, and the now injured Risley Law. But now, along with their manager, Jerry Lewis, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Totally Spies, Sam Simpson, Alex Vasquez, and Clover Lamoreaux!" Castle called, as the three girls and Jerry walked into the shot.
"Now ladies, I heard you had some sort of vacation to clear your heads and get your focus back into the ring. And I have to ask…how would you rate the Comfort Inn that you stayed at?" Brandon asked.
"Excuse me?" Jerry asked.
"I was planning a vacation to Beverly Hills later in the year, and I wanted to know if the Comfort Inn is worth the $200 rooms," Castle explained, causing the girls to roll their eyes.
"We were not on vacation, we were training, both wrestling wise and mentality wise, to make sure that we succeed in the BTWF," Jerry explained.
"Well, I'm sure you're aware that you're scheduled to compete on the next Octane against Sherry Blendy, and a couple other members of the Sisterhood of Darkness. Do you have any strategies heading into your match?" Castle asked, holding a microphone under Sam's mouth. Before Sam could answer, Clover grabbed the microphone out of Sam's hand, and got into Brandon's face.
"Like we would tell you our strategy where the entire world, including those uggo goths could hear. All I'm going to say about our match is that we had better win," Clover said menacingly before pushing the microphone back into Castle's hand, and walking away. After a moment fo awkward silence between the remaining 4 people, Castle decided to speak up.
"So…is that a yes on the Comfort Inn?" Castle asked. Alex, Sam, and Jerry ignored him and leave to follow Clover. "I'm going to take that as a 'maybe'. *sigh* This is why we have . Anyway, let's get back to the action in the ring."
