Northern Carnage Wrestling: The Doomed Rejuvenation (2017) Chapter 8: NCW Electric 5-11-17, a X-overs + Wrestling Crossover fanfic

NCW Electric- Episode #8- 5/11/17 (Taped May 5th)- NCW Arena- Johnstown, PA

Fading from black, the viewers at home are met with the view from a camera just inside the small parking garage in the NCW Arena. The camera faces out toward a rather sunny day indicating this had been a pre-recorded (Pre-Pre-recorded actually considering this episode is taped). Turning into view is a 2000 Taurus painted black that reflected the sunlight before passing through the large opening and coming to a stop just feet in front of the cameraman. The driver door pops open precisely when the garage door begins to close. Out of the car appears its lone occupant and driver, DXP. Arriving early for NCW Prime's debut on TBS….wait, this was last Saturday's opening wasn't it?

Indeed it was as a replay of the door closing behind DXP was shown.

"Hey guys, open it back up. Many haven't even arrived yet." The founder and co-owner said before what the audience dreaded to see again occurred.

DXP was soon jumped and devastated by all of the Three Rivers Syndicate, grunts of pain were heard over and over as he finds himself down onto the asphalt floor.

"PICK HIM UP! PICK HIM UP!" a voice off scream can be heard shouting as the TRS comply. A dazed DXP is forced to lift his head to see a finely dressed Steven 'Streak' Chamberlain walking up to him.

"You Can't Accept It, Can You? Your Absolute Control Over This Company Has Led It Down The Wrong Direction. When You Gave Me Temporary Control, Look What I Got You! I Got You Views, I Got You The Return Of Drew Cage, I Got You Lethal Lockdown. I Got You TBS! And How Am I Repaid? How Are WE Repaid? You Shut This Company Down For Fear Of Someone Else Having Control, Fear Of The Southern Warrior Holding The Gold!" Streak declares. "We Are Co-Owners, We Have 50% Ownership Each! We can't work under the same roof, we'll just clash and get nothing done and that's not fair to the Prime and Electric rosters, now is it? I want things to be fair…so you get Electric….I GET PRIME!"

"I Get Prime" was the words that would be echoing in DXP's head as Streak steps aside for Sokka to deliver an Ice Breaker! The founder of NCW slouches into the grasp of the TRS, who raise DXP high in the air before POWERBOMBING HIM BACK FIRST ONTO THE WINDSHIELD THAT BUCKLED AND SHATTERED!

The video suddenly paused and held in place for a few seconds…

...

…

Before the audio of the Johnstown audience was heard as the camera switched perspective to the Electric ring where DXP was standing, having replayed the video of his beat down on Prime…and he had much explaining to do.

"In late 2015, I had screwed up big time. It's no secret I think of ideas without the understanding of the glass ceiling that is our budget. I was so focused in gaining new talent, expanding his company, that I became a slacker on bills. We gained the best talent in the world, but were unable to have a reliable source to allow all to see the talent. On numerous occasions our Television and PPV feed has cut out…especially with Wrestle Wars III…it was my entire fault that occurred. I needed to listen to my own roster, I needed to establish more sound management of the company. That realization lead me to call up a old friend who was having equal troubles in their success, their case in hockey. Streak was down on his luck but I thought was one of the most trustworthy people I ever worked with. He went through the abomination that was the first year of NCW, he stuck through it all and only left when many of us in the back gave their blessing. I though the best way to repay him would be to give him co-ownership of Northern Carnage Wrestling. I thought taking a backseat and allow Streak to show what he had to bring to the table would be the best way to test NCW's future…." DXP stated, trying to explain what has been leading to all the drama in NCW recently.

"I Thought." DXP reinforced.

"I Thought Streak's idea of NCW's future would be a shared partnership where we would bounce back ideas across both shows…..But Instead, He Wants A Company That He Can Dictate And Maintain With His Posse, Because He Hates Not Having Everything In His Control! When he left NCW, he wanted to become the NHL's top start. He wanted to play for his hometown Maple Leafs. But instead, he consistently was pushed down to being a benchwarmer and was threatened to be traded far from his home. He despises unpredictability, therefore he wants control. He wants control over everyone's destiny on Prime and if he gets his way will someday try to take Electric over also. He has gone so far to split his power of ownership right down the middle. He has Prime fully in his grasp, I can't even set foot in a arena where Prime is hosted right now. So till then I'm going to be on Electric, trying to play my move. Because mark my word Streak, mark my word TRS, you have p***ed off the wrong son of a b***!" DXP declared to a thunderous applause from the crowd.

"Now, star the sho-"

Any further words of DXP were cut off, however, by the opening of "Fly Off The Chain [Instrumental]" by Dale Oliver playing. The arena lights red and white as one of NCW's most vilified individuals makes their way out into the arena. It was a crossed Joan Rivera, whose 'trainees' (Bordeaux Sisters) were trying to catch up to her from behind.

"Well….welcome to NCW Electric on TBS, I'm Joey Styles with Bennett The Sage. DXP came out here before the show started to attempt and explain what transpired last Saturday….but things are only to get worse for everyone here and at home." Joey grumbled.

"I know what you mean….the corporate stooge already made me get a migraine." Bennett replied.

"That's not what I meant." Joey snapped back.

"Here we go again. It's that time of the month where you garner a cheap pop from whatever rust belt town we are in, playing your fantasy that you're Paul Heyman or something. It's your equivalent of a druggie itching for their syringe and then getting there high on, at the cost of further causing damage to themselves and everyone around them. The only difference is for them its family, for you it's the entire locker room. I don't care for what the Three Rivers Syndicate are trying to pull on prime. But the keey words are I don't care. That is Prime, screw them. We are two isolated shows with the sole ties being you, the acronym on every item around this ring, Joey hanging out at the commentating table and all these idiots who buy into you crap. These Is Electric, This Is MY Show, This Is For Wrestles With XX Chromosomes. But here we are opening the show up with discussing events on the OTHER show. We got two hour show, every second matters to me and to those beneath me. You are cutting into MY time with stuff none of us in the back care about. You already have taken away 5 to 10 minutes by Korra's locum rolling through and burying the undercard. We don't need any more gone." Joan decreed.

"…If you're so worried about screentime, then why the hell did you come out here to cut further into the show?" DXP asked, trying to turn the tables on Joan.

"Well Why Did You Have To Come Out Here And Ramble On About Prime?" Joan responded.

"Because I Care These Fans And The Roster On BOTH Sides And Want To Explain What The Hell Is-"

"Oh You CARE About The Fans? You CARE About The Roster!? Well La-de-FREAKIN-DA! How many times have we heard someone say that? Far too many to count." Joan stated. "If you cared so much, you would begin to push new talent. I took a look at your roster and you can BARELY book enough of a variety of matches before repeating yourself. All you invest are in big names to draw the cheap ratings."

"What like Henry Wong? Henry called ME, I didn't call hi-"

"We Are NOT Talking About Prime!"

"Then Who Are We Talking About 'Big Names'? I Consider Everyone In NCW To Be A Big Name, A Top Wrestler, All Have The Potential To Be The Best In The World!"

"I'm talking….we'll first. Since I got the chance to say it your face. I love the fact that the new NCW World Women's Champion has the silhouette of a certain individual that isn't even in this company. If I ever get my hands on the thing, I'm changing the design for the record. Its just one giant tool to pull in the irksome and cringe worthy characters of the show the weebs love the most. And one of those characters you brought in to replace Korra. I was RIGHT about Korra being full of herself, wasn't I? Now you got this so called Invincible Girl jobbing out wrestlers who could have great careers but nope. Don't fit your quota. Gotta build Pyrrha up I can see. We'll what about people like Remi and Maxine, huh? What about me? What About Joan Rivera!"

"Your right….I do indeed need to be giving newer talent a chance…..and seeing as there are no more than puppets for you and you clearly got a bone to pick with Pyrrha….and since Pyrrha already got a match tonight…..next week at the 2300 Arena, your two lackies will choose between themselves who will get the chance to face Pyrrha Nikos."

The face of the Bordeaux Sisters standing back by the ropes was quick to turn sick from hearing that news. News that only angered Joan.

"Well glad your honest by your wish to see new talent buried."

"I ain't burying nobody. I'm sure with the skills you have trained them to have will be enough for one of them to face Pyrrha…..right?"

"….y-yeah right Right!" Joan yelled back, sounding a bit uncertain at the start. "Well, let's go and I'll start getting you prepared girls."

Joan began walking away, with the Bordeaux sisters dropping down to the floor.

"Oh Miss Rivera, I Ain't Done Yet." DXP declared, with Joan stopping in her tracks and looking back at the co-owner over her shoulder.

"You're wondering 'What About Me, What About Joan!'. I provide equal opportunities indeed. For tonight you will have the chance of being the number one contender for the NCW Spirit Championship." DXP stated, Joan's expression shifting to curiosity.

"…You And Four Other Women Will Get That Chance In A Fatal Five Way." DXP declared. "And I wouldn't go anywhere Joan because that match is next."

The crowd erupted at that announcement, or because the irked glare Joan so commonly had was restored. DXP had a grin on his face as he began stepping out of the ring with his theme of "Mental" by Jim Johnston began to play.

"Oh Such A Fair Boss." Bennett sarcastically grumbled. "He's Screwing Over Joan! I Thought DXP Is Supposed To Be Some Equal And Fair And Holy Leader Like Everyone Builds Him To Be!"

"If Joan Didn't Keep Consistently Pushing His Buttons She May Not Get In These Situations!" Joey declared. "But it is indeed fair."

"Fair, How Is This Fair? A Fatal Five Way!" Bennet declared.

"Joan's idea of fairness is very warped and includes only one person. Herself. But she does get a chance at getting a shot at Lucia Sycroin and her Spirit Championship when we come back, because it's a Fatal Five Way! Do Not Go Away!" Joey announced as the show went to a brief commercial break.

(Commercial Break)

Jazz Fenton vs. Ryuko Matoi vs. Asui Hikaru vs. Joan Rivera vs. Shayne Daniels- Fatal Five Way To Determine #1 Contender for NCW Spirit Championship

The show returned in the midst of the entrance of "The Original" Jazz Fenton. The participants themselves were not announced by Joey the moment the show went back on the air but rather fans would learn who would be joining Joan in this Fatal Five Way via entrances.

We went from the lengthiest tenured wrestler to the most recent tenured in this bout. It was Ryuko Matoi, making just her second appearance in the land of extreme. She had debut in the #5 spot of the Women's Rumble for the World Women's Title on Rejuvenation and was hoping to even a record out to 1-on-1 and quickly land herself in the mid-card scene

Next was the most seasoned of all the opponents in the bought. Asui Hikaru, former 5 Time UWE Queens Champion, the only female Galaxy Champion, a former NCW Women's Tag Team Champion with her friend Tammy Blake. But ever since Tammy had been side lined with a concussion, Asui has been left in the dust. The near two decade veteran would love to have the chance to cap off her career with one more title victory.

And the final participant was a quite unusual one. The four currently in the ring were none for single careers. But the fifth opponent was Shayne Daniels, one half of Seductive Dream. Almost always we have seen Shayne in the tag team division with her partner Ivory Gerdelman. So it was a shock to all to see the Fallen Angel making her way into this bout. It seemed that she was just plucked out of the tag team division for one night to fill a spot.

If you were tired of hearing Joan rant how DXP is out to get her or something, well guess what. This match just gave her more fuel to ramble on even more. The opening moments of the bout are her worst nightmare, a 4-on-1 assault by the rest of the participants. It was a short but sweet treat of the Johnstown crowd.

But soon the match began to break down into two distinct scuffles for the first few minutes of the match. Shayne began a bullseye for "The Original" Jazz Fenton, who was looking to take the sore thumb of the five out of the equation while Ryuko wrestled with the legend that was Asui Hikaru. Jazz took her fight with Shayne to the outside, making good friends with the steel barricades while Asui and Ryuko were jockeying for position in the ring. There showing of strength din't last long as it soon de-evolved into a fist fight that Ryuko managed to win. That's not to say she won the war as Asui came flying back with a roundhouse kick.

The outside brawl took a spill out into the crowd as Shayne was able to reverse a irish whip so hard she flung Jazz well over the barricade and back first into a row of recently abandoned chairs. But rather then continue to punish Jazz, Shayne instead opts to include herself into the fight between Asui and Ryuko, taking Asui down with a one handed bulldog the Ice Queen never had the chance to see coming. But Shayne was now in the grasp of Ryuko Matoi. The match was down to just these two for a solid minute at Shayne was regretting leaving the ringside area for this.

After a commercial break, we found Ryuko had worn out Shayne to the point she was prepared for a Release Dragon suplex. It was executed perfectly, but Ryuko had no time to go for an attempted pinfall as Joan had returned to the bout. Joan and Ryuko were now the focus, but the Guitar Case Vagabond would wish that were not the case as she was getting her face smashed into the turnbuckle. Joan clasped her hands around Ryuko's waist, looking for a german suplex but Ryuko held on to the ropes…

…

And BOTH Were Sent Flying By Shayne With A German Suplex Of Her Own, To The Shock Of Everyone!

Ryuko was folded up like an accordion, Joan flopping toward the edge of the squared circle. But before Shayne had time to check out her handiwork, Jazz Fenton was back into the match and with a vengeance. Shayne was battered around the ring for the next minute it seemed by Jazz, the scuffle ending with the White Russian Legsweeper to Shayne. Jazz went for the pin attempt…

…

But Asui Broke It Up To Save Herself And Unintentionally Other's Chances Of Winning The Bout!

Jazz wasn't going to feel the wrath of the Ice Queen, it was Asui eating the toe of Joan's boot. The two most vocal female wrestlers in the FWM were now going at it, having to fight over the bodies of the other three competitors until there brawl spilled to the outside.

That left The Evil Angel, The Guitar Case Vagabond and The Original remaining in the ring. Jazz was first to her feet, giving a dirty kick to Shayne demonstrating how little Jazz feels for the dark horse of the bout before focusing on Ryuko. Another fight broke out between the two for a few minutes before Shayne also found her way back into the fight. On the outside, Asui is sent hard back first into the steel barricade before being rammed into the back of the ring post. Joan was about to enter the ring but noticed that the three inside were so pre-occupied they didn't even notice her. Joan so her opportunity to end the bout, rolling Asui back in and going for the pin…

…

2.788 but Asui manages to kick out!

Joan rolled away, but rolled right into the three way scuffle. Jazz had taken a hard punch and was sent reeling across the ring, leaving Ryuko and Shayne to deal with the Gamer Champ. They both looked at one another and knew to ensure Joan was gone from this bought they would have to align together for a brief moment. They both had Joan wrapped in facelocks and launched her onto the canvas with a double team suplex. Before the two could turn on one another, Ryuko ducked as JAZZ RUSHED IN WITH A HIGH BOOT THAT LEVELED SHAYNE! Shayne slowly rolled out to the floor while Ryuko blocked a punch from Jazz, but Jazz was still able to connect with a discus elbow smash that was followed by the Clothesline From Hell! Ryuko had been turned inside out, much like Blake at Rejuvenation. Jazz rolled her up, it looked certain Jazz was going to be the #1 Contender…

…

2.8999 but Asui broke the pin up! She had Jazz by her long orange hair to the dismay of the referee but to the delight of the crowd. Asui kneed Jazz in the gut and executed the GTS! Could it be Asui facing her old rival for the Spirit Championship?

….

…

2..

…

2.999 But Ryuko Lunged On Top Of Asui To Break The Pin!

Asui wanted revenge immediately. She felt she had the match one for sure. Ryuko and Asui met in a brutal brawl around the ring exchanging punches until Asui attempted to go for another GTS. But Ryuko managed to slide off the Ice Queens shoulders and executed the Scissor Blade! Asui was down and out on the canvas, Ryuko was going to win it all. The crowd was anticipating Ryuko's first NCW victory to be a big one!

1…

…

2..

…

2.999 But Joan Broke It Up!

And that wasn't all that would be broken. Ryuko battered Joan back into the corner, but Jazz rushed in the from behind and executed a double knee backbreaker. Ryuko was left in a heap on the canvas, spine arching back in pain. Jazz and Joan were the only two left standing, the other two were levelled…

…

But what about the fifth?...

…

JAZZ COLLAPSED AS SHE BECAME THE LANDING PAD FOR THE BME FROM SHAYNE WHO HAD PERCHED HERSELF BEHIND THE TWO HEELS! Jazz taken out, Joan had no time to react to Shayne who executed The Last Rites (Rolling Cutter)! The crowd was surprised…

1..

...

…

2..

…

And Shocked The Hear The Bell Ring!

The crowd didn't explode into cheers, but were definitely positively surprised to see whose hand was being raised at the end of the bout. Holo confirmed it with her announcement of, "Your winner at 12:15 and the new #1 Contender for The NCW Spirit Championship, Shayne Daniels!"

"How The Hell Did Some Second String Tag Team Partner Win This Thing!?" Bennett asked, completely in disbelief.

"Shayne was on the outside for the last quarter of the bout. She must have been waiting for someone's back to be turned. It turned out to be Jazz and Joan. The BME did Jazz in, and Shayne delivered Joan her Last Rites to upset everyone in this 5 way." Joan stated. "And I'm being informed it will be next week. Shayne Daniels vs Lucia Sycroin for the NCW Spirit Championship!"

"Well won't that be a squash." Bennett responded.

Shayne was all smiles has she went to the back, while the rest were left in the ring trying to figure out what has transpired. Asui especially, who sat up with a look of grave disappointment while rubbing her neck.

(Lightning Bolt Transition)

We followed Shayne to the back where Ai Tanabe was awaiting to verbally punce upon the Evil Angel for an interview.

"Hello Legal Viewers At Home, I Am Ai Tanabe Standing By With The Number One Contender For The NCW Spirit Championship. Shayne Daniels, everyone thought you were throwing into tonight's match just to fill an extra slot but have come out on top stunning the crowd here in Johnstown. What is going through your mind right now?" Ai asked, filled to the brim with enthusiasm.

"Well I….I am just as stunned as everyone here. But in a good way. I thought I would go out and make a good showing after me and Ivory's loss at Rejuvenation but didn't expect to take it all. It felt wonderful though to lay out both Jazz and the mouth that never stops running, Joan. This further shows the new blood seeping into NCW. No more will the show be bogged down by Joan Rant's or A Avatar Reign of Terror. I will help lead that new blo-"

"But You Must Now Face The End All Be All Of Life, Lucia Sycroin!" Ai declares, still with a innocent smile.

"Well yes. Next week I'll-"

"What Do You Feel About Your Chances After Seeing What Happened To Sarah?"

"We'll Sarah's one thing…..she did end up landing bad on her head…but"

"Or how she is known to go into a rage state when she bleeds, something that's IMPOSSIBLY to overcome!"

"…I'll have to avoid-"

"Avoid The Intelligence Of The 34,297 Years Of Experience Compared To A Miniscule Lifespan Like Yours?"

"…well I don't know…"

"And If You Were To Loose, Would You Feel Honored To Be Her Next Skin Suit?"

"Wait, What?!"

"So Shayne, how will you overcome all these odds and beat the The Outer Space Seductress!?"

"….." Shayne was left in horrified silence, trying to comprehend all the facts Ai shot at her to respond to.

"…Alright Shayne, Good Luck Next Week!" Ai announced, still retaining her upbeat personality while Shayne stumbled off screen now comprehending what she must overcome to be the next NCW Spirit Champion.

But we were not done yet with this interview segment. Don't worry, Ai won't scare the next wrestler to walk by. Its Asui Hikaru just arriving backstage after coming up on the losing end in the 5 Way Match. She was still slightly favoring the neck and had a towel draped over her one shoulder, still clad in her ring garb.

"Miss Hikaru. This yet again another lo-" Ai began saying…

…

Just as Catherine Wilson stormed right in front of the camera and through the interview area.

"Out Of My Way Old Hag!" She was heard yelling, shoving Asui aside and storming off somewhere else. Asui's purple eyes shot back at Catherine as she stormed off screen. There was a few uneasy moments of the agitated Asui staring off screen before Ai was able to shift focus back to the interview.

"Uh…Miss Hikaru. This seems to be another loss for you since Tammy Blake went on injury reserved. Some critics are arguing your peak was years ago and it might be time to face retirement. Is this just a bad skid that'll end shortly or are you really winding down your career. What are your thoughts?"

"…My neck hurts."

"Huh?"

"My Neck Hurts. And What Is Every Answer To That Question? No, I'm not retiring now. Nor do I intend to for YEARS. Why?...you just see what happened?"

"…you lost in the 5 w-"

"I'm not talking about the match Ai. You see Catherine barrel through here like she owns the damn place. She isn't the only one. We got many around here of this new blood that got attitude problems. Trust, I'm going to be busy around here for a long while." Asui stated. "And another thing, when-"

(Sudden Crude Cut Back To The Ring)

The abrupt cut sent us back to the ring where the messy black hair with white streaks of Catherine Wilson matched her temperament. She had a microphone in hand as we only caught her shouting back at the crowd she was NOT a jobber, to which she received even more "JOBBER!" chants.

"LAST WEEK WAS A FLUKE! I WAS NOT PREPARED! REJUVENATION WAS RIGGED FOR THAT PATHETIC MASKED COWARD!" Catherine was shouting at the crowd.

"We apologize for cutting that interview off. But well….Catherine Wilson is throwing a tantrum…" Joey deadpanned.

"SSSH, Joey. Keep quiet, I don't know what this toddler can here!" Bennett shouted at his play-by-play partner.

"I'll Prove It! I'll Prove It To Each And Everyone One Of You! I Am Challenging ANYONE In The Back To Face Me! I'll Make You Famous!" Catherine declared to confuse boos from the crowd.

"…This girl is off her rocker…" Bennett whispered.

"She's as out of whack as your sudden change in voice." Joey muttered.

Catherine stomped across the ring both ways, glaring up at the entry way and determined to make a example out of whoever came down.

The house lights were quickly turned dark as a crimson red hue arose from the stage. "Out Of The Shadows" by Jim Johnston began to play as two jets of fire like pyro shoot in columns on either end of the ring, for sure startling a crowd often opposed to any form of pyro. And emerging onto the entry way and down the ramp was the mysterious wrestler from the Women's Championship Rumble at Rejuvenation, Amber.

Amber soon stood toe to toe with Catherine. The confidence of Catherine seemed to dissipate for a moment as Amber slowly took the microphone from Catherine.

"It may be hypocritical for someone like me to say but you are a disgrace to wrestling….coming out here and throwing a tantrum like a child. You thought last week was a fluke….this week will be clean as a whistle." A raspy voice that seemed far older than the person saying it stated.

Catherine, as well as the crowd, were all confused by that statement. How the hell were we suppose to think it was hypocritical of her.

"Hypocritical….we don't even know who you are…..gender reversed Kane…" Bennett bafflingly stated.

Catherine had no time listening to ramblings of some random unknown. She was somewhat heard shouting "FREAK!" before driving her fist into the jaw of Amber. Referee Mike Kenneth hurried into the ring and quickly called for the bell to be rung. Catherine was delivering all sorts of kicks and punches, managing to eventually get Amber trapped against the ropes….

…

But Amber was able to latch on to the arm of Catherine…

…

And wouldn't let go even with Catherine driving elbows down upon her neck. Catherine was soon having to find a way to battle out of the lock. But Amber was clapping down more and more upon the arm, particularly around the shoulder region. Catherine was diminished to a knee, managing to get a stiff elbow to connect to the jaw. Amber's head and neck swayed back…

…

But So To Did Her Entire Body Weight, Managing To Pulls Catherine's Entire Arm into Armbar with Catherine desperately reaching to try and pull her arm back.

"Armbar, Amber has taken Catherine down quickly!" Joey exclaimed in surprise.

Catherine was down yet, she managed to lock her arms back together and brought the threat of effectiveness of the armbar to a minimum. But she was far from being safe in the match. Amber gave up on the armlock and instead went for a waist lock, managing to find a brief stance and throwing Catherine back first upon the mat. The ring shuddered but the waist lock was held in place. Amber with a float over was able to compress the head and neck into a headlock. Catherine used all of her strength to try and push herself back to her feet but managed to fall back on top of Amber, giving her foe better leverage to tighten the lock!

"That headlock's almost like a choke!" Joey exclaimed as Catherine's pigment was inching toward the bright red.

Mike Kenneth was quick to see this and forced Amber to release the hold. Amber looked crossed when she had to back away from Catherine, who gasped for air like she had not breathed in months.

"Did Amber walk off of Olympic tryouts of something?" Bennett asked just moments before Amber was caught off guard by a cheap blow to the knee thanks to Catherine.

"Oh, you want to play Olympian sweet heart!? This Isn't Amateur, This Is Pro! You Don't Win By A Simple Suplex!" Catherine was heard shouting at Amber, backing up a few paces and readying her good arm for a clothesline…

…

That Amber Managed To Duck And Dropped Catherine Neck First With A Olympic Slam Suplex!

"Oh My God, She Dropped Her On Her Neck!" Joey exclaimed.

"Nearly, I Think She Did!" Bennett responded as Catherine was out cold, giving Amber the chance for the cover…

1…

….

…

2…

…

"And Just That, Amber Has Taken Out Catherine…..Hopefully It Was The Shoulders And Not The Neck Completely!" Joey exclaimed as some members in the crowd stood up to see if Catherine was alright.

She was moving, that's for sure. Rolling in fact, away from Amber and out to the floor while heavily favoring her neck.

"Your Winner Of The Match At 2:41, Amber!" Holo announced as Amber took a few moments to glance over to ensure Catherine was alive. Didn't want to be a murder in her first singles match. But then makes her way to the back before even having her hand raised by Mike Kenneth.

"Amber going to the back now. Not wasting any time…she has introduced her style of wrestling to NCW….making an example out of Catherine Wilson. I don't want her to be injured of anything but at least that shut her up." Joey stated.

"Till next week." Bennett grumbled.

"Right…till next week." Joey restated as the show faded to a commercial break.

(Commercial Break)

When Electric returned from whatever the hell the masses had attempted to sale you, we are still with Amber in the back. She has found a bench to sit somewhere where there weren't too many people and was pinching her nose, looking to be a bit dazed even though she had won the bout.

"Umm, Amber. I was just wondering if I could get some of your thoughts on tonight. Who are you and what are your intentions here in NCW?" Ai asked from behind the camera, although we only saw her hand holding a microphone to Amber's face.

Amber was quiet for a few moments, lowering her head a bit trying to thing up and answer. And the voice that responded wasn't the raspy uncanny tone we heard out in the ring but one that was completely different and in line with the age of the wrestler.

"I'm…..I'm not sure."

(Lightning Bolt Transition)

We're then sent elsewhere in the Arena to find Holly Storm taping her wrists up for the oncoming bout. Evelyn was seen not too far from behind also preparing, tightening the laces of her boots. Evelyn paused though when a familiar face came into view.

"Alright, are you two ready?" A eager Coco Bandicoot asked, clasping her fists together.

"…for what?" Evelyn asked.

"Well, you two's match with the Houses. I figured to ensure these sickos didn't do anything further, I'd be at ringside. Y'know, some backup." Coco suggested.

"Uh…..I'm not sure…." Evelyn responded. "I mean….we appreciate the offer and all but It would be nice to handle this one ourselves."

"But you haven't dealt with the Houses before, at least not like I have." Coco stated.

"Didn't you hear Coco, its No.?" Holly coldly replied. "I don't get why your trying to inject yourself into this. This has nothing to do with you."

"Well I felt bad I didn't do as much as I should last we-"

"And that's why I don't want you having our back. You didn't save Evelyn. I did. Now look, for once it would be nice if we get some new faces out there…..I'm sorry Coco. I'm sorry also for what happened with your brother last week….but if this is a ploy to keep your face on camera just because your brother was booted out of the company, we're not the people to do it to." Holly responded with before she headed out of the room.

"…sorry, Coco." Evelyn softly added before leaving also.

Coco looked deflated, staring off to wherever the team had walked off stage and stated, "I'm being sincere…"

(Lightning Bolt Transition)

And thus we returned to the interior of the NCW Arena at long last as the corner camera zoomed down upon the ring while "Stars Of The Night" was blasting in the background. The columns on the stage flashed red and white as Iris Hart was making her way to the ring, although gaining a very light response. "Back here on Electric, from the NCW Arena in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. We've gone about forty five minutes into the program and have STILL yet to announce tonight's card." Joey stated.

"We're off the program again?" Bennett asked.

"AKA a typical night in this company." Joey deadpanned. "Tonight our main event will be another World Women's Championship Open Challenge by Tsubaki Nakatsukasa. Last week she successfully defended against Sakura Hagiwara which confused many as Sakura and Elena Miyazawa are scheduled to face The Miyazaki Maidens in Glasgow at International Insanity. We will also be seeing Holly Storm & Evelyn Cano teaming against Team Whiteout in response to last week. I've been told earlier in the program it shall be No DQ do to the violent nature of the brawl the four had."

"But Right Now We're About To Watch Iris Bring The Overrated Girl To A Stand Still!" Bennett declared with great joy as Iris's music dimmed down. And the anticipation for her opponent soon grew…

…

And a decently loud pop ignited when "Invasion" by Christian Poulet and Jean-Yves Rigo began to play. The stage and arena both turning crimson and gold. It was the entrance of the Invincible Girl named Pyrrha Nikos. She marched out through the cascading flow of golden sparks and on to the ring for the oncoming bout.

Now unlike last week's evisceration of Catherine Wilson, this week's contest against Iris wasn't as easy for Pyrrha. This time Pyrrha tried to go first on the offense, Iris pulling her in to her grasp. For the first minute and a half it was all Iris as she whipped Pyrrha post to post and held on to the arm in an assortment of wrist locks. But Iris lost her momentum when trying for a german suplex. Pyrrha was able to block by grasping the ropes. Iris decided to go for a roll up pin attempt that garnered a one count. Pyrrha was able to roll through and got a roll up attempt of her own that also gained a single count. Iris booted the Invincible Girl off of her but this precisely marked the momentum shift of the match.

Pyrrha offense was slow at the start, but was consistently gaining speed. It began with stiff clubs of the forearms and clotheslines but soon various suplexes were being introduced to fling Iris around the ring. Pyrrha had a solid minute of a showing of pure power as Iris continued to become more and more dazed by each throw. It was a curious thing that Iris managed to grasp Pyrrha's ankle and stale a running boot. But this allowed Pyrrha to level Iris with a enzugiri and she soon retreated into the corner. She was measuring the Canadian Hart for the piercing Miló (Spear)…

…

Which Planted Iris's Spin To The Canvas!

"Pyrrha, Pyrrha, Pyrrha!" The crowd had begun to chant over and over as the match progressed. Iris was out for sure and nobody would have thought twice to pin her. But Pyrrha wasn't done. Lifting Iris off the mat…

…

And Executing Cross Polarity (Spinning Inverted Double Underhook Facebuster) that made the ring shake just a little! Pyrrha covered Iris as Referee John Finnegan counted…

…

As "Invasion" looped once again in the background, Pyrrha's hand was raised once again in the NCW Arena as another opponent had been put down quickly.

"Ladies and Gentleman your winner of the match at 4:42, Pyrrha Nikos!" Holo announced.

"Well…at least it was an actual match this week." Bennett said trying to boost some credit for Iris.

"Compared to Amber's match, yes it was. At least we aren't left trying to figure out what the heck is going on." Joey added. "Thus Iris is just another victim, Pyrrha's singles record 2-0 in NCW."

(Lightning Bolt Transition)

There was a cut to backstage where we find Sapphire Birch of all people. Alright, someone new. Someone NCW shelled a lot of money in and barley use. Let's see what she has to say.

"You might be wondering who I am. I wouldn't blame you because I have been barely been able to have my name even mentioned on TV. Let me explain for the many not in the know. My name is Sapphire Birch. I have been known as Conqueror for conquering 8 gyms in the Hoen Region. I sat comfortably in IWF along with Ruby until it went under in 2015. We found our contracts being bid on my every company out there. The companies were only appeased by a four way deal between WWE, UCA, GAIA and NCW. People ask why NCW was on shaky legs for the past few years, there's your answer. But since that day I have for the most part sat at home with the stacks of cash building up. But I am like many here in NCW, I have little to no interest in the money. Sitting at home is an excuse that I am being forgotten about and got no spots to fill aside from being a jobber. So tonight I'm going to shock everyone at home and prove the hundreds of thousands was worth it. Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, you want to dangle your World Women's Championship as bait in a endless stream of open challenges. Be careful for what you wish for because tonight I'm answering that challenge and I'm going to become the next champion!"

Sapphire Birch decreed, for sure stirring up some support from the viewers at home by this short promo. All would be well, if it weren't for a familiar voice of a particular Auburn haired wrestler coming from behind the camera.

"Oh, you really think?"

And suddenly the camera cut straight to black. There were a few moments of silence before the Lighting Bolt transition finally hit to send us back to the NCW Arena where Holo is standing by with the introductions for the next match.

Holly Storm & Evelyn Cano vs. Team Whiteout

"The following bout is a tag team contest scheduled for one fall…(Crowd: ONE FALL!)…With No Disqualifications Or Time Limit! Your referee in charge, Pee Wee Moore." Holo announced.

"The poor bastard." Bennett stated as

(Skip)

Holly had Lillian's hand held tight, whipping her across the ring. But Holly failed to notice Lillian use this momentum to her advantage and decks Evelyn whose standing on the ring apron with a cheap shot of the elbow. Evelyn dropped over the apron and down to the floor, clutching her jaw.

"Evelyn getting in the way. That'll teach her a lesson to keep out of Lillian's sight." Bennett declared, as if trying to assert he is the heel commentator after all.

"In The Way? I Think There Are Many Fans In The Way Of Your Eyes!" Joey snapped back as Holly aggressively wrapped her hands around Lillian's waist and threw her back with a german suplex hat got an applause from the crowd.

Lillian seemed to bounce off the mat, rolling back into her own corner and allowing her sister to tag herself in. Velvet came rushing in, ducking under a fist from Holly and fires off a blind kick to the gut. Holly arched over in pain and unintentionally allowed Velvet to throw her down to the mat with a snapmare that is followed by a stomach turning shoot kick to the back of the head.

"The Snapmare, vicious shoot kick follows." Joey dictated.

Velvet a half a minute later had the legs of Holly snagged and dropped her collarbone first on the dark purple ropes. But before Holly stumbled back into the ring, Lillian grabbed hold of Holly's head and pulled her to the outside. Almost as if the ropes were assisting in a brainbuster that gets some nasty cringes from the crowd.

"Holly's Five Brain Cells Have Been Lost!" Bennett exclaimed as Lillian and Velvet both were now on the outside and beginning to stomp away at Holly. Pee Wee Moore leaned through the ropes and observe, but couldn't do anything to stop it with the No DQ rules in effect.

"Team Whiteout now together on the outside. They're going to begin to indent the concrete for how long they've been out there." Joey sarcastically stated…

…

JUST BEFORE EVELYN FLEW OVER PEE WEE MOORE AND ROPES AND DOWN ON TOP OF THE SISTERS WITH A PLANCHA!
"OH DIOS MIO!" Joey exclaimed as the rowd came to life tonight with NCW chants.

(Skip)

Evelyn was down to a knee, clasping her head and the ring post on the outside. Lillian was rolling Holly in the ring while the ring apron was fluffed up briefly. Velvet was searching for something, anything to use. She could have easily used chairs that the fans were more than willing to offer for use but playing up the heel factor she ignored the Johnstown crowd. Velvet soon tossed two Singapore canes into the ring to the delight of the crowd regardless of Team Whiteout's position in the match.

"We got Singapore Canes now. Holly used them to ward off the ambush last week." Joey reminded the home audience.

"Shinai, Joey. It is called a shinai. Used in the practice of kendo! For someone who won Best Television Announcer for three consecutive years I would expect some PROFESSIONALISM!" Bennett declared.

"Oh, we're back to the professionalism argument." Joey grumbled.

Lillian had her cane in hand as Holly was slowly getting to her feet. Holly's apparently unaware of what fate awaits her with Lillian armed. Lillian went to swing at Holly's neck…

…

….

…

But Holly Ducks, She Had Telegraphed What Had Been Coming…

…

AND TAKING HER DOWN WITH THE LOU THESZ PRESS, GETTING THE SINGAPORE CANE…

…

AND INSTANTLY GOING TO TOWN WITH IT, WHACKING LILLIAN OVER THE RIBS REPEATDLY! THEN STRIKING LILLIAN'S FOREARMS AS SHE TRIED TO SHIELD HERSELF!

"AND HOLLY WITH THE SHINAI! OVER AND OVER! THE WELTS ARE ALREADY STARTING TO FORM ON LILLIAN'S FOREARMS!" Joey exclaimed.

"Nah, its Singapore Cane. Got To Keep Continuity Joey!" Bennett stated.

But Evelyn was not so lucky as her partner, getting struck over the back three times by Velvet with the Singapore cane. But Velvet paused when she witnessed her sister getting pulverized by Holly's usage of the Singapore cane. Velvet rushed in, and the two foes colliding in a Singapore cane fight. Holly's cane clashed with Velvet's, and to continue to attempt and whack at one another. A steady roar came from the crowd by this point by the Singapore Cane duel.

"We Got A Singapore Cane Duel! Splinters flying, neither one gaining an edge!" Joey exclaimed.

But soon, Holly's cane was growing weaker by the second and soon the foreword have was snapped off. Holly knew it was hopless but tried to defend herself with the stubby ruins of her Singapore cane…

…

But Ended Up Taking A Shot Of The Cane Square In The Forehead!

"Oh My God, Square Between The Eyes!" Joey exclaimed.

"Velvet, You Took Her Down To 2 Brain Cells! YOU MONSTER!" Bennett shouted as Holly fell to the canvas, chorus of boos rushing over the crowd with chants, "F** THE HOUSES! F*** THE HOUSES!" Velvet was down on her knees and began a rapid fire of whacks of the Singapore Cane much like Holly had done to Lillian a minute earlier. It would have continued….

…

But Evelyn Cano Was Up On The Turnbuckle, A Fan Tossed Her A Chair….

…

AND CAREENED THE SEAT OF THE STEEL CHAIR INTO THE FACE OF VELVET!

"EVELYN FROM THE HEAVENS AND WITH A CHAIR INSTEAD OF A SYTHE SENDS VELVET TO HELL AND BACK!" Joey shouted over the "NC DUB! NC DUB! NC DUB!" chants.

(Skip)

"EVELYN….GET THE TABLES!" Holly shouted, a clear nod to the Frozen Asylum and thereby a major reference to the Dudleys which of course garnered a cheap pop from the Johnstown audience, all shouting "GET THE TABLES" in unison with Holly.

"TABLES! TABLES! TABLES! TABLES! TABLES!" The crowd chanted over and over as Evelyn and Holly slide to the outside, Holly noticeably bleeding from the upper part of her cranium and a narrow stream of blood dripped down to her nose. Evelyn's back was for sure bruised and had three clear narrow strips of welts from the cane shots. And who knows the exact condition of Team Whiteout at this point.

"Holly bleeding from the head. Isn't bad enough to cloud her vision but sure to be warming the bridge of her nose." Joey stated.

A single table of dark wood was brought out into the light. Both Evelyn and Holly managed to place the table up on the ring apron, briefly resting it against the bottom rope….

…

A Error They Would Regret As Lillian And Velvet Both Took Advantageous And Delivered A Double Baseball Slide To The Table, Sending It And Their Opponents Tumbling To The Floor And Into The Aisle!

"Team Whiteout Serving the Terminates There Dinner!" Bennett exclaimed.

Holly and Evelyn were left dazed on the floor as Team Whiteout struggled against the pain they were enduring to retrieve the table and bring it back into the ring. While Lillian focused on setting up the table, Velvet retrieved Evelyn. After bashing her head against the barricade and steel post before rolling her into the squared circle.

"We got the table set up, Lillian is waiting….what do they…?" Joey asked as Velvet lifted Evelyn up in the air…

…

AND EXECUTED A 3D THROUGH THE TABLE! But Instead Of A Pop From The Crowd Like The Earlier Dudley Referenced, This Ensured Whiteout Would Have Heat For Weeks To Come!

"3D! DUDLEY DEATH DROP!"

"DON'T YOU MEAN HOUSE HORRID HELLEVATOR!?" Bennet questioned.

"You Came Up With That Name On The Spot!" Joey snapped back as the crowd were not letting up the boo. Velvet and Lillian both covered Evelyn as Pee Wee Moore counted the pin…

1…

…

2…

…

"There We Go! EC DUB! EC DUB! EC DUB! EC DUB! EC DUB! COME ON JOEY!" Bennett hollered.

"Shut up." Joey grumbled as the bell rung.

"So Now You See How Annoying The Consistent Throwbacks Are!" Bennett snapped back as the crowd continued to boo.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner of the contest at 23:15, Team Whiteout!" Holo announced. Team Whiteout was in no rush to celebrate. Instead inspecting there wounds and ensuring they had not experienced any serious harm. When they found that they were both not going to need any help from the doctors. They both stood tall, each placing a foot on Evelyn and believing they had solidified they statement from last week.

(Lightning Bolt Transition)

Viewers at home were given a pre taped vignette from a brand new tag team in Northern Carnage Wrestling. That being the duo of Multiverse Defenders Aelita and Kari.

"Look, before you touch that remote….I am NOT the Aelita that wrecked this women's division last February inside Lethal Lockdown. I am NOT here to mentally break down a wrestler a part of the locker room got a bone to pic with. I am HERE along with by best friend Kari to bring our skills to the squared circle. But-" Aelita began to declare.
"Wait, that sounded a bit clichéd." Kari grumbled.

"Well…I suppose…..what do you got?" Aelit asked

(Take 2)

"Hi I'm Hikari Yagami…or Kari Kamiya….or Officer Kari in this case. I am also known as the chosen child…and….and." Kari began to sputter.

"And what?" Aelita asked.

"….15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insur-"

(Take 3)

"WE ARE THE DIGITAL ANGELS, AND WE'RE HERE TO RIP A** ON THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDER-"Aelita began shouting.

"Aelita, Aelita, Aelita, That's X-Pac!" Kari cried out.

"….Huh?" Aelita asked.

"That's X-Pac's line from his '98 WWE return!" Kari reminded Aelita.

"Oh….X-Pac….I don't need that type of heat." Aelita replied

(Take 4)

"Alright, just…just cut to talking about San & Nausicaa." DXP was heard saying from behind the camera, trying to guide the Digital Angels through this promo.

"alright, alright" Kari muttered, growing tired of the consistent takes.

"5, 4, 3, 2…"

"Next Week, In South Philly, The Digital Angels Make There Tag Team Debut Against Challengers For The NCW Women's Tag Team Championship! Now you may think your destiny is set for the SSE Hydro in June but first you got to ensure you survive against us! We got nothing to loose!" Kari declared.

"Yeah….except being buried on the card…" Aelita deadpanned.

"DAMMIT!" DXP could be heard shouting from behind

(Take 5)

"San, Nausicaa, Your Acting Like First Year Rookies, We're Acting Like Professionals!" Aelita shouted.

"…wait-what?" Kari asked.

(Take 14)

"Just read from the cards…" DXP calmly stated before the promo started.

"Alright….read from the card….read from the cards." Aelita repeated to herself.

"I'll lead off." Kari stated. "…..Next Week, Me And Aelita Will Use San & Nausicaa As Our Launching Pads For Success In The 2300 Arena In South Filthadelfia"

"….You Misspelled Philadelphia?!" Aelita asked in frustration.

"No, nonsense….see, that's the right spelling." DXP stated completely seriously.

(Take 59)

"I'm Am So Sick And Tired Of Me And Kari Repeating The Same Old Crap Over And Over! It's the Same In Ever Company We Go! People Complain That 'We're Just Poor Man Versions Of Our Younger Counterparts', 'We Shouldn't Exist', 'We Are Our Younger Self's Stunt Doubles'. Well For Those Critics We Have Some Statistics For You!" Aelita declared.

"Former FTW Women's Tag Team Champions, UWE Queen Duos Tag Team Champions, The 2015 Shining Tag Team Of The Year!" Kari stated.

"And we will be sure to add the NCW Women's Tag Team Championship to that collection. But first we need to prove the critics wrong by showing that WE should have been one of the four teams in this mini tourney to crown new tag team champions. Which is why next week in Philadelphia us, The Digital Angels, shall click DELETE on the Miyazaki Maidens!" Aelita decreed, at long last finally getting a good promo out.

Digital Angels

Next Week

(Lightning Bolt Transition)

After that…interesting vignette, we return to Joey Styles and Bennett The Sage at their commentating positions.

"….59 Takes….59 Takes? And they still think there going to run through the Miyazaki Maidens?" Bennett asked. "….someone is on some GOOOOOD stuff."

"…" Joey just shook his head at Bennett. "Never in my days did I think….did I think someone would top Joel, top Cyrus, to Jerry, TOP CRITIC…..but you sir….congratulations."

"Thank you very much, I try as hard as I can." Bennett replied.

"Well….as you figured out after THAT, NCW will be emanating next week from the historic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA…don't let DXP's comments scare you off. Next Thursday you will see a card that features the Digital Angels making their in ring tag team debut against the Miyazaki Maidens who we saw last week punch their ticket to Glasgow to face Sweet Diva for the Women's Tag Team Championship. We learned also earlier on the program that Shayne Daniels will have the opportunity to challenge Lucia Sycroin for the NCW Spirit Championship. Speaking of which, last week we saw a title defense that left Sarah Ortiz injured. We have learned that although she had a few symptoms of a concussion she has not been diagnosed with one and will be cleared to return to the ring in the near future. We will also have Pyrrha Nikos squaring off with one of the two Bordeaux Sisters….that'll be fun." Joey stated, ending with a deadpan look.

"Oh, very. Pyrrha's little streak will come to a sudden halt and I can't way for many to cry as I'll bathe in their tears." Bennett stated with a grin.

"…..your absolutely ubelievable…just…..let's just go to the ring for the main event…" Joey grumbled.

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa's Open Challenge

When we returned to the NCW Arena, we found the ring had been cleared of the debris from the No Disqualification Tag. Things were now in place for the second installment of the NCW World Women's Championship Open Challenge.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall with a one hour time limit and is for the Northern Carnage Wrestling World Women's Championship!" Holo announced to light applause from the crowd.

Two Become One!

Souls Have Been Connected!

A Bond That's Stronger Than Words!

And Now In Sync We Scream Our Fates Will Come Together!

And It Will Not Go Unheard!

Nathan Sharp's Rendition Of "Resonance" blasts through the speakers within the NCW Arena as the crowd are on their feet and the black and gold rally towels of the Demon Shadow Weapon. The very Shadow Weapon who burst out through the entry way being a ball of optimism and charisma. She raced down the ramp quickly slapping hands with many in the crowd.

After her rush around ringside and entering the ring, she was visibly holding a microphone in hand.

"Wow thank you…thank you" Tsubaki began with. "The past few weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind. I went from being midcard behind the scenes, often known for being the tag matches and the one showing up to fill spots on at fan evens…to being the World Women's Champion! And I have set to prove my worthy by laying that belt for anyone to try and take away from me. Last week was…and unusual start. I did not expect to face a tag team wrestler but hey, got no problem with it. I already saw earlier in the program one by the name of Sapphire Birch is more than ready to except this open challenge. But it could be anyone coming down here so….I'm done talking, let's get to wrestling."

Tsubaki handed the microphone to Holo who had returned to the time keeper's table on the outside. Tsubaki undid the championship around her waist and handed it to Senior Official John Finnegan. Thus the waiting began, who was to challenge this week…

…

If Only I Could Be More Entranced

Chasing My Dream Every Day

Ah, I Could Be Proud With My Flowing Tears!

"Beautiful Dreamer" by Kyōko Narumi commenced in the NCW Arena, and just like last week the ire of the Johnstown crowd was instantly gained. But there time there was a sense of confusion in the air.

"Didn't we already go through this last week?" Joey asked as once again all three member of Sophisticated Beauty appeared out on the stage.

Selena was for sure not wrestling tonight, once again wearing a fine dress. Sakura and Elena, one half of the NCW Women's Tag Team Championship match set to occur at International Insanity, were both dressed in there Berserk Gym Jackets. Sakura though was noticeably wiping her hands with a small hand towel and if one was able to look closely it looked like some droplets of crimson were sticking to her fingers and nails. Another curious detail was Selena visibly telling something to Elena, but nobody in the building would be able to hear them over the sound of their theme. After a while, Elena Miyazawa was the sole one moving down the ramp as the other two remained idle on the stage.

It was apparent this contest was Elena Miyazawa vs. Tsubaki Nakatsukasa. Tsubaki's happy temperament had quickly dissipated the moment she heard the Sophisticated Beauty's theme. Tsubaki hoped she was going to be able to make quick work of Elena. But after about 5 minutes, it was soon apparent that was not to be the case. Tsubaki was looking to use a fast pace offensive with sharp jabs using her feet and knees.

But when Elena got her offense going, it began to ground Tsubaki and the match to a much slower pace. The strange thing was Elena wasn't aiming to bring this match to a close, never once in the bout did she look like she genuinely was trying to win the match. Who the hell would be like that in a championship situation?

Elena primarily used a arsenal of holds that would be more so found in a MMA setting rather than a wrestling setting. She was working on certain parts of Tsubaki. What Elena was achieving in particular was delivering persistent punishment to one particular part of Tsubaki. And that were the knees. It could be by a sophisticated kneebar or just a basic punch to the kneecap. Whatever it be, that was Elena's sole focus in the night. And she did so to perfection. It should be noted Elena not once went for a pin fall, even when it would so easy for her to go for a pin attempt.

Tsubaki was always able to wiggle out of the holds after enough time had elapsed. But as the match wind down and Tsubaki tossed Elena in the ropes. She went for the Starbreaker….and unable to fully deliver the double knee facebuster, pain shot through her vains and arteries as the pressure of Elena's head met against Tsubaki's knee. Elena instead found herself stumbling to the floor rather than ending up being knocked out.

"The knee, the knee gave! We know Tsubaki was slightly favoring it at the end of her match last week with Sakura!" Joey explained as Tsubaki had to pull herself up via the ropes to get back to a crooked stance.

Elena went a bit further to attack the knee in the bout, and tried to lock her into a figure four leg lock. Maybe it be the pain Tsubaki was visibly in, or the fact we all knew the show was getting down to the wire of going off air in a few minutes (even though we know this taped). Tsubaki somehow mustered the strength to reverse the figure four…into a sharpshooter!

"Sharpshooter! Sharpshooter!" Joey hollered as he crowd burst out into cheers and after having the submission locked on for only a few moments, Elena taped out!

"Ladies and Gentlemen your winner of the match…and STILL NCW World Women's Champion, Tsubaki Nakatsukasa!" Holo announced

"Shades Of Summerslam '91 from Henning vs. Hart, the figure four reversed into the sharpshooter. Tsubaki retains!" Joey repeated.

"Well no duh! You that thick to not tell this is all just a ploy by Selena! She's setting Tsubaki up for the kill." Bennett declared.

"I figured that out the moment I heard there damn music hit tonight!" Joey retorted.

"Well glad you do have a education of a 5th Grader." Bennett replied.

Tsubaki inched her way back into a corner, wiping the hair in her eyes back and slowly pulling herself back to her feet as John Finnegan handed the championship back. Elena rolled out to the floor, clutching at her leg briefly also.

"We'll Joey's throwing a tantrum from having his aluminum foil armor being shot to bits by the likes of me. So much so he is going to leave you all without any manners. So from yours truly, Bennett The Sage, be sure to tune in Saturday for NCW Prime which is described to be the official beginning of the TRS Era. And don't forget that next Thursday, NCW Electric comes to you from Philadelphia with a stacked card." Bennett announced.

"I'm Not Throwing A Tantrum!" Joey exclaimed as the show faded….

…

To a shot backstage of…

…

SAPPHIRE BIRCH BEING SPRAWLED OUT UNCONCIOUS ON THE FLOOR, WITH A NASTY GASH ON HER HEAD AND SCUFF MARKS OF BOOTS ON HER MIDSECTION! That being the last shot fans were left with
