Northern Carnage Wrestling: The Doomed Rejuvenation (2017) Chapter 13: NCW Year 5 May Week 5-June Week 1, a X-overs + Wrestling Crossover fanfic

NCW Electric- Episode #11- 6/1/17 (May 26th)- Hammerstein Ballroom- New York, NY

Following the now condensed opening of a mere 30-ish seconds highlighted by Halestorm's 'Mayhem', we are greeted by a range of diverse shots of the interior of the Hammerstein Ballroom which is filled to the brim with roughly twenty five hundred of the Big Apple's chapter of the NCW Faithful.

"From the Manhattan Center along 34th Street, its time for the best hour of women's wrestling. I'm Joey Styles, stuck with Bennett The Sage for another Thursday." Joey introduced as we cut to the commentary duo again standing in front of corner that is adorned by an Electric banner and NCW banner. Totally not being filmed in the someone's parents basement…totally….not in the slightest.

"You mean the pleasure of having be enhance your commentary, right?"

"Believe whatever you want to believe."

"Like how Selena will win at International Insanity? No wait, that's fact."

"…Believe Whatever You Want To Believe." Joey restated. "But as a preview into not only Electric's main event in Glasgow, but also the World Women's Tag Team Championship bout; tonight it's six women warfare as the Sophisticated Beauty square off against Tsubaki & The Miyazaki Maidens."

"Don't forget we shall be determining which poor sap will be going to Glasgow to get murdered by the Last Sycroin." Bennett tacked on.

"More like who will challenge for the Spirit Championship."

"What's the difference?"
"…" Joey just shrugged, seeming to side with Bennett. "But at the top of the hour, we're going to see Catherine Wilson and Amber in one v. one action."

"Oh boy, a jobber vs. some mysterious being. I wonder how this'll go…" Bennett grumbled, getting a elbow jab from Joey.

-Catherine Wilson vs. Amber

Catherine and Amber seemed to be out of place standing in one of the NCW's iconic temples. The golden balconies of the Hammerstein Ballroom bordered the scene as the crowd was looking to antagonize Cat with a parade of echoing of the single word 'JOBBER!' on repeat. If she were to ever move forward in life, she was going to have to put ear plugs in before every match. The constant taunts made her life difficult. The rest of the hindrance to her was Amber demonstrating a fine understanding of grappling. If it weren't for the red-to-charcoal hair and fiery attire complete with a decoratively charred rose along the waist, as well as the unnatural reddish eyes, she could be mistaken for someone out of ancient times with that particular moveset. But it was as if someone was controlling her, the moves she made were somewhat off-putting. Something was just ever so slightly uncanny. Ultimately, Catherine succumbed to being consistently grounded to the mat by this woman with a understanding of Greco-Roman wrestling, with Amber managing gain a gritty pinfall for the victory.

- Shipping Off To Dublin

While the show was only a third of the way through. Joey & Bennett reminded the home audience that next week NCW would make its debut in Ireland at the 3Arena in Dublin. Already set for next week's Electric card was an encounter between Sarah Ortiz & Lillian House as well as a tag team bout between GameGen2.0 and the Digital Angels (who have NOT been suspended like they have from other companies). But Joey & Bennett are interrupted by Jazz Fenton, the two commentators confused as to Jazz's reasoning for barging in.

"Give me the headset, give me the headset." She could be heard saying.

"But…why?" Joey asked.

She said something in return that was inaudible, but whatever it was it made Joey quickly lend the headset to Jazz.

"Bennett, would you agree that our Women's Champion is as weak as the previous one?"

"Of course, what else did you expect from me-"

"And would you agree the one before that was weak?"

"Well, seeing what mental state she has devolved to-"

"And what about the one before that? And The one before that?" And the one before that? And the one before that? And the one before that? And the one before that? And do you know who the only strong champion there has been?"

"I'm assuming your referring to yourse-"

"Good answer, otaku, good answer. You see, I'm strong at will, strong at heart and strong in mind. Especially that one, don't you forget. Strong in mind. So answer me this one otaku, why am I the only one of the so called "Female Four" even on the biggest show in NCW history?" Jazz asked.

"Because…..DXP moved on from Danny Phantom to Soul Ea-"

"Warm…"

"….Because DXP focused on Chris vs. Crash for years?"
"Warmer…"

"…..Because DXP couldn't focus on creating homegrown talent?"

"Bingo. He and management were more worried about getting the big names in while letting new talent to rot off to the side. Now I might not be new, but I sure as hell have been left to rot now haven't I? I see people though like Catherine Wilson be left to rot and be made to look like a fool with the "I'M NOT A JOBBER" tantrum they write her to do. Meanwhile we got fossils like Asui and Coco clogging the system and only are there for name recognition. Lets be honest, since when have they done anything note worthy around here?"

"Coco Won The Freakin Tag Belts Last Ye-" Joey could be heard yelling off camera.

"Upeteeupeteeupeteeupeteebut….let's try that again….what have those two fur balls done recently?"

"Nothing! Absolutely Nothing!" Bennett chimed in.

"Exactly. At least they too aren't on the card. But that still doesn't change the fact NCW has once again gone stupid and left so many out of the match. And I won't rest till NCW gets its mind back in its head!" Jazz decreed before throwing the headset down and storming off.

-Evelyn Cano vs. Velvet House- Finals For Spirit Title #1 Contender

With Lillian and Holly both being stepping stones to get to this point, a trip to Glasgow was up for grabs as Evelyn and Velvet finally had their long awaited singles encounter. Velvet hoping to ascend to the top where she has not been for years, Evelyn wanting to qualm the House threat much like her uncle was on Prime. But at the very least Evelyn didn't need to worry about Velvet running out with a weed whacker….right?

Good news, the weed whacker is NOT the universal weapon of the House. The bad news for Evelyn is Velvet managed to grapple her down to the mat for much of the first half of the contest. Velvet was also far more experienced with the hardcore styles that had established the company in the first place, crushing Evelyn against the barricades on numerous occasions. The only saving grace of Evelyn was the fact they were in New York and mats on the floor were mandatory. Didn't mean it felt any better, but hey, there could be that small percent chance it slightly helps.

But Evelyn's stubbornness to not give, not after having faltered to Velvet in the past in the tag team war a few weeks earlier, began to cause Velvet to run out of options. The exclamation point came with Evelyn managing to power through Velvet's Triangle Choke, smashing her against the buckles in a successful attempt to break the hold. Evelyn soon dropped Velvet's stamina to single digits with a fiery offensive punctuated by the Impersionate Finale, punching her ticket to Glasgow and a date with Lucia Sycroin for the Spirit Championship.

-International Insanity Updates

While neither Pyrrha nor Joan appeared on this edition of Electric, news pertaining to them was priority in the second half of Electric. Joey and Bennett addressed the home audience and confirmed what several weeks of fuming was indeed leading to something. At International Insanity, there was no more using the Bordeaux Sisters as defenses against the Invincible Girl. In Glasgow, Joan will have to stop running and square off with Pyrrha Nikos by order of DXP….of course, we don't even need a promo package to know what Joan's thoughts are on this decision.

-Sophisticated Beauty vs. Tsubaki & Miyazaki Maidens

With little over a week to go till International Insanity, fuel is put to the two most important matches for the Electric roster on the Pay-Per-View. Joey points out prior to the match that this is in fact the first televised teaming of the entire Sophisticated Beauty in the match. For a faction that has become iconic to NCW, this is in fact just their seconds NCW contest (not counting their days in XW) as a unit. But we know of their chemistry off screen, will it transition into the ring. But regardless, their opponents go in with a disadvantage do to having two separate goals. Tsubaki is eyeing the World Women's Championship and may be more level headed then the Miyazaki Maidens who have had a well-documented plight with the opposing trio, at least San in general.

Selena starts off, leading her trio while in a twist it is Nausicaa who starts and not Tsubaki, with a fuming San awaiting her chance to get into the bout. Nausicaa might be able to rally support via sympathy from the crowd and her partners, but when it comes to ring work she is still one of the poorer wrestlers in NCW. Selena ensures everyone understands why she is a valid challenger to Tsubaki's championship, thrashing Nausicaa about the ring. Nausicaa's persistence extends the beatdown by Selena who tags in one of the Maiden's two opponents in Glasgow, Sakura Hagiwara.

Sakura's stint in the ring goes just as well as Selena's, that is until A few goof ups are quickly capitalized by Nausicaa who uses it as a perfect opportunity to get out of the ring and tag in San to which the crowd's volume spikes knowing where there's San, there will be violence. Indeed there was as the brawling style of San smashes Sakura. Sakura is soon being, quite literally, thrown around by the length of her hair. Although Finnegan protests an assortment of San's more 'illegal' holds (but as Joey points out to Bennett, since when the hell as anything been illegal by NCW ruling?), Sakura's torment at the hands of Princess Mononoke only manages to let up when Elena intervenes to break up a crossface.

Tis where the inevitable brawl breaks out between the two trios that Finnegan stands back and let fizzle out. Elena tosses San into one corner far from either teams and begins stompin away. Nausicaa rushes in to the aid of her partner but after snapping Elena down to the mat is wrestled down to the canvas by Selena. Selena smashes elbows and fist into the skull of Nausicaa, only for the Women's Champion to balance the scale. The preview of International Insanity is given as Tsubaki has the upper hand and beats Selena back to her corner. Selena is in fact forced to retreat up on to the top of the turnbuckle as Tsubaki hammers away. But this comes to bite Tsubaki as both Sakura and Elena have recovered and begin to drill at the champion's back. Both soon reverse till there backs are pressed to the turnbuckles and hook Tsubaki's legs.

"Sakura & Elena have Tsubaki caught." Joey described. "What, they going to powerbomb her or something?"

Selena dishes out a final punch to Tsubaki…

…

As Sweet Diva Begin To Drop Back For What Could Be A Elevated Flapjack AS TSUBAKI'S HEAD IS BROUGHT INTO THE CLUTCHES OF A FLYING SELENA WHO USES THE MOMENTUM OF THE FLAPJACK AND HER OWN TO EXECUTE SOME FORM OF A DOUBLE KNEE FACEBUSTER!

"…OH MY GOD!" Joey exclaimed as the crowd jumped to their feet in shock.

"What The Hell Was That!?" Bennet asked.

"I….I…Elevated Assisted Starbreaker?" Joey came up with on the sport.

Selena got back to a stance, soaking in the brief momentum of crowd appreciation.

"Your Starbreaker…OUR ELEVATED SKULLBREAKER!" Selena shouted down at Tsubaki.

With the Women's Champion out of the picture for the foreseeable future, focusing of the Sohpisticated Beauty shifted to dealing with the Maidens. Nausicaa was only crawling out onto the apron based on instinct, leaving San the last viable threat in the ring.

For a few minutes it was a lopsided 2-1 beatdown (Selena had taken her place back outside the ropes). The Wolf Girl frantically made attempts to break out of the grasp of the two pop idols, but was consistently beaten back into one of the four corners. And soon, it appeared as if Sweet Diva were going to repeat the incident two weeks prior in Philadelphia.

"Oh god, come on! Stop Them Finnegan! The Sakura Driver EX That Sent Sapphire To The Hospital! We're Still Unsure If She'll Even Be Back In The Ring This Year Because Of It!" Joey exclaimed.

"Well at least she's about have some company." Bennett added as the crowd began to boo. Elena hopped up on the turnbuckle, ready to jam San's neck into the unforgiven canvas…

…

BUT THEIR PLANS ARE FOILED BY NAUSICAA HURDLING FROM A SPRINGBOARD OFF THE ROPES, HER FEET CONNECTING TO SAKURA'S SHOULDERS AND KNOCKING HER IN AMONG THE OPPOSITE ROPES!

"NAUSICAA WITH THE SAVE, THE HANG TIME SHE HAD THERE! COMPLETELY ACROSS THE RING!" Joey exclaims.

Elena tried to snap Nausicaa's sudden momentum but instead ate a kick followed by a running bulldog back to the center of the ring. Nausicaa pivots back around, as Selena was now racing back into the ring and she ended up taking a DDT. All three members of the Sophisticated Beauty are finally down, each having rolled to the outside.

San's back to her feet, a bit groggy but no worse for wear. The two assist Tsubaki back to her feet, still clearly reeling from the 'Elevated Skullbreaker' and probably didn't remember going through with the following act….

…

AS SAN, NAUSICAA & TSUBAKI EACH SOAR OVER A SEPARATE SIDE OF THE RING AND TAKE OUT THE SOPHISTICATED BEAUTY INDIVDUALLY!

"OH MY GOD!" Joey exclaims as San & Sakura pour over into the aisle, while Nausicaa nearly breaks Elena in half over the railing and Tsubaki has managed to flip herself and Selena over and into the crowd!

As a parade of NCW chants filled the ears of the home audience, the replay revealed a more closer shot of just Tsubaki's dive as she came crashing down onto Selena, causing her future challenger to flip over the curved rim of the barricade. A closer look also revealed Tsubaki's knee clipping the steel.

Two Thirds of the Sophisticated Beauty was left to have their train of thought be consumed by pain, while focus in the match was restored to the two legal wrestlers. That being San & Sakura. San whipped the pop idol back first into the barricade just to be safe before throwing her back under the bottom rope. San continued to wear down Sakura with various knees to the ribs and spine, along with a few stretches. Sakura soon was trapped in the Urufu Rokku (Pentagram Choke). San even went so far as to begin the process of locking the legs but Sakura was moving around too frantic to full synch in. Sakura managed to roll her white tall boot across the bottom rope to force a rope break to the displeasure of everyone in New York.

San tried to find success elsewhere and looked as if she was going to go for some variant of a piledriver but her plans were foiled by Selena managing to get back to the ring and clobbered the Princess Mononoke from behind. San futilely tried to fight back but soon knew it was best and make a break for her corner. She was just enough out of Selena's grasp to tag in Nausic-NOPE, nevermind as Elena yanked the Princess Who Loved Insects off the apron and down onto the unforgiven floor of the Hammerstein Ballroom. Tsubaki tagged herself in and with a bit of a limp went after the Auburn Beauty. Tsubaki has a fiery offense that is unleashed upon Selena, possibly hinting the outcome of International Insanity.

But this brief preview comes to a halt when Sakura hurries up behind the champion and whips her into the ropes. Tsubaki rebounds and flattens her with a high knee that Tsubaki quickly regrets as evident by her clasping her right knee. This showing of weakness allows for Selena to retreat to her corner and tag in Elena (who had returned to her respective side of the ring). By the time Tsubaki is back to her feet, she is dropped by Elena's dropkick. Tsubaki tries to get back to her feet but this time is fired clear back into her respective corner. She probably would have kept up the fight if it wasn't for the stubbornness of San, tagging herself back in when she was clearly not in the best shape to continue. She charged into the ring against the protest of Tsubaki and tried her best to take Elena down to the mat. But ultimately succumbed to Juri Crush that not only finally gave Elena a shining moment in NCW but also the victory for her team.

"Your Winners Of The Contest At 13:14…." Holo hesitated, herself friends with the Maidens and knowing the outcome could have been much different it wasn't for San. "…..Elena Miyazawa, Sakura Hagiwara & Selena Richardson, The Sophisticated Beauty."

"There, you happy?" Joey asked.

"Me very happy. The IWC will be especially happy. Right team one, in fact there the only group who can actually stay together on Electric. There the only team who stick like glue, with oiled gears, functioning smoothly. You honestly expected a two environmental nitwits & a humanoid weapon match the experience and will power of the Sophisticated Beauty?" Bennet asked.

"Well…regardless of what the Big Apple thinks, the Sophisticated Beauty are victorious tonight and cast a shadow of doubt upon the Miyazaki Maidens and Tsubaki as they head to Glasgow in two weeks." Joey states.

Tsubaki, still favoring her knee, was trying to support herself with the barricade. The time keeper was seen returning the championship back to her, but her focus was instead on the victorious Sophisticated Beauty who stood tall in the ring. San had been left in the ring and had become a temporary mound for each member of the Sophisticated Beauty to place a foot upon, looking like they conquered Mt Everest or something of the like. A rain of booms poured down on them from the New York crowd, chants of "THIS IS BULLS***! THIS IS BULLS***! THIS IS BULLS***!" Could be heard coming out of nearly everybody's mouth. Soon, they unceremoniously rolled Princess Mononoke out to the floor, with Elena in particular notably performing the motions of wiping her boots off the ring ropes like by touching San she had become dirty of something. Thus was the final scene fans saw before the show faded to the NCW copyright screen.

NCW Prime- Episode #50- 6/3/17 (May 26th)- Hammerstein Ballroom- New York, NY

For the fiftieth time, NCW was broadcasting over the waves on Saturday night (more or less…I think on a recount this might be 49 or 51 but I deleted much of January 2013 so we may never know) to the televisions of thousands throughout the United States. Black banners with Prime etched in blue draped over the yellow balconies of the Hammerstein Ballroom, contrasting black ring with red buckles and crisp blue canvas, and the entry way with small screen hanging overhead with glowing blue cylinders masked by sheets with square openings, that's the look for this mini celebration.

Brad Carbunkle vs. X-Virus vs. Mako- Triple Threat For Spot In Hypersonic Title Match At International Insanity

Streak was placing one final ticket to Glasgow up for grabs for those in the Hypersonic Division. X-Virus is one of the most peculiar of the new wave of wrestlers that have been streaming into the land of carnage. His identity masked, he's silent, and let's his valet Amaris speak for him. But one thing is for sure, he's the most dangerous wrestler in the hunt for the Hypersonic Championship. But X-Virus found himself sandwiched between Brad & Mako, clearly given second chances by Streak after losing their respective Triple Threats. Although outnumbered in the ring, X-Virus had Amaris along with 2,5000 New Yorkers backing him.

Brad and Mako seemed to be more worried about attempting to dismantle X-Virus rather than try to win the match. They probably didn't want to even think of having to pin one or the other which may causing dissension in a stable that has yet to reach its prime. It appeared to be a handicap bout rather than a triple threat. But soon, miscommunications began to occur that X-Virus was ultimately able to take advantage of. Even with the odds stacked against him, X-Virus is able to plant both representatives of the Three Rivers Syndicate to the mat and in fact pins both mean to punch his way to International Insanity.

Frozen Asylum vs. Henry Wong & Takato Matsuki

Henry Wong and Takato Matsuki are former friends trying to patch up their years of division in WWE. What has brought them back together is the fact they have become lost in the shuffle in the wake of the Three Rivers Syndicate taking the company by storm. They were two wrestling veterans who didn't really agree with the Three River's cause but were looking to avoid getting into any trouble.

The problem was they were standing across from the most P.O'd tag team in the company. The 2-time NCW World Tag Team Champions who were solely focused on sending message after message to their challengers on what they are going to have to deal with at International Insanity. They didn't care at all who they were going to go through the create their message, all they wanted was to barrel through them.

And barrel through them indeed. That's not to say it was some job or something of that like. No, Henry and Takato put up a tough barrier of defense against the Frozen Asylum. But once their armor was pierced, they quickly began to succumb to the hits and throws of two of the promotion's most powerful wrestlers. Ultimately Takato ate a Frostbite that gave the Frozen Asylum their momentum boost toward International Insanity.

Drew Cage vs. Hiccup Haddock- Winner Faces Sokka at International Insanity

Hiccup wanted more than anything in the world to be the first challenger for Sokka's world title reign. But his desire to go to Glasgow rubbed off the wrong way against longtime friend Drew Cage. Drew was looking to redeem himself in the eyes of the NCW fans following his return to the company in April. In order to gain redemption, he felt he would need to be the one to bring Sokka down in the ring.

The outcome, a number one contender contest established by the Three Rivers Syndicate. Sokka watched from ringside and on constant commentary with Joey & Critic. Drew and Hiccup went to a technical war mixed with the acrobatics of Drew. Drew was finding himself to be often grounded by Hiccup who attempted to work hard on the legs of Drew. At first the leglocks seemed to have no effect, instead Hiccup was eating baseball slides and neckbreakers. But gradually Drew's momentum was being diminished has his knees grew weaker.

A Cage-KO resulted in a two count to the surprise of many in the Hammerstein Ballroom. But Hiccup's response, the Dragon's Bite, was also unable to bring the match to a conclusion. Drew managed to gradually wrestle his way close enough to the ring edge that he extended his leg as far out as it would reach and managed to just graze the rope to start the rope break.

Both friends struggled to their feet, as if helping one another to a stance. Then came the slow punches. Boos for Drew, applause for Hiccup. Drew managed to get the upper hand, creating separation and once again going for the Cage-KO. Hiccup blocks, pushing Drew toward the corner. He rebounds, rushing back RIGHT UP ONTO HICCUP'S SHOULDERS AND DROPPED ONTO THE SHARP KNEE WITH THE DRAGON TAMER!

One Dragon Tamer may have gotten the three count, but for added insurance Hiccup executed a second Dragon Tamer. This times hooking the leg and three seconds later found himself in the main event of International Insanity!

Hiccup popped up with both arms high in the air, pure joy and a bit of shock on his face. In places such as CEW he had always been top billing but never did it seem to be a level he would reach in NCW. He had been around since day one but had reached no more than a tag team reign with Streak that got fed to the Frozen Asylum during their rise to prominence. Hiccup would now square off with the 'Heart & Soul of NCW', a title rarely used by the fans, in the main event of the largest NCW show to date. But would the 'Loser Leaves Town' stipulation be implemented like Sokka seemed to suggest with all future world title matches a few weeks ago?

But while Hiccup celebrated, Drew limped his way to the back. His window to redepemtion was slammed in his face. His chances of being part of NCW's historic international show were dashed. The final moments of Prime cut to him somewhere staggering in the bowels of the Hammerstein Ballroom. But in front of him stood Streak, another old friend. And just like weeks prior with the TRS, he held up the black vest with the Three Rivers Syndicate logo etched on the back. Streak asked just one question.

"You Still Want To Go To Glasgow?"
