Korra vs. Erin Parry – Semi Finals in NCW World Women's Championship

The second night of action kicks off just like the first, with the arrival of Avatar Korra. But unlike last time, she is facing off against an unfamiliar opponent. The Silver Screen Siren comes out with her pomp and circumstance she possessed in the opening round. There is much on the line, a shot at the championship round. But neither seem to be taking it seriously in the opening moments. Parry is shooting words she hopes will through her adversary out of focus. Korra is only amused, giving each jab low ratings with a count of fingers. She has heard everything thrown her away throughout her travels in the FWM, and a wannabe movie star isn't going to throw her off her game. But Korra's not innocent in taking things a bit too lightly, feinting twice a willingness to lock up with Parry. If she wants to waste time, then two can play that game.

Parry's efforts to lock up for a third time are a mirage, allowing her to get a slap across Korra's face. She piles on Korra, plunging fists across her back, but is forced to separate due to shoving the Avatar into the ropes. Korra comes back out swinging with a backhanded chop to the chest. A second chop forces Parry back into a corner. She closes the distance, drilling elbows across the Silver Screen Siren's back before she too threatens to go over the five count. Efforts to Northern Light Suplex her out of the corner are dissolved by Parry shoving back. Korra strikes Parry across the face, growing tired of playing games. Her chops grow more vicious, but efforts to roundhouse kick the snot out of her opponent get evaded. Parry ducks the leg and palm strike Korra across the face, suddenly dropping to the mat with a Snap DDT!

Parry takes full advantage of having Avatar off her feet. She takes to the outside, grabbing Korra's right leg and bashing the ankle multiple times against the steel post. Her thrashing at the lower leg culminates in a single leg boston crab. Korra manages to reach the ropes for a break. Parry tries to stun her opponent into delirium with a Clap Board (hammerlock into a short lariat), but Korra can duck under. She tries to hook Parry's head to try something but is battered away. Parry's Starlight Strike (High-Impact Roundhouse Kick) stuns the Avatar. Parry wants rid of her and casts her over the top rope…. but Korra skins the cat back into the ring! She runs through Parry with a fierce clothesline but quickly runs out of steam and caves in the corner. Far from capitalizing with a pin.

Both combatants crawl into the ring's center and try to gain superiority. Korra trying to keep things clean with clubbing forearms, but Parry has greater success with fierce some slaps across the face. Parry crosses Korra's leg and looks to be going for the cross-legged DDT, but Korra manages to break free with her own slap to Parry. The Silver Screen Siren whimpers at being so roughly handled, only inviting the Water Whip from Korra! She follows up with a impactful german suplex and goes for the cover…. only for Parry to reach the rope with her foot and negate the pin effort.

Korra isn't going to sweat time on the ropebreak, pulling Parry close and positioning for the Korralizer toward the turnbuckles. Parry's able to break out and whips Korra back first into the opposite turnbuckle. She feints a body avalanche, instead jumping up with the aid of the ropes to deliver as powerful on a stomp on the foot to Korra's bad leg. This time she connects with the cross-legged DDT and knots up Korra's legs into the Red-Carpet Treatment (Inverted Three-Quarter Figure Four Leglock). A hold Parry is clasping tight to, but one that ultimately the veteran Korra begins to power through. Parry begins to panic realizing Korra may get a ropebreak and quickly pivots to offense. She exchanges leglock for a headlock, hitting the Hollywood Plunge (Springboard Bulldog). But in her haste, she fails to lock the leg and its Korra who is now the one to get a rope break.

Parry felt confident she had won and started to bicker with the official. Once reality sits in, she gives Korra several stomps across the back. Parry attempts to hoist up The Avatar for the Hollywood Ending, but Korra hooks Parry's head in the lead up to the fireman's carry. Parry tries desperately to break free from Korra's grasp. The Avatar ultimately prevails, stunning Parry with a Water Whip before executing the Korralizer! Parry's down and out, Korra's gets the win and advances to the championship round.

Crash Bandicoot vs. Benjamin Botes – Semi Finals in NCW World Men's Championship

Last night, Benjamin Botes tore through one of NCW's veterans in the form of Bolin. A remarkable feat, but one that may run the risk of being deemed a fluke if he can't keep the momentum to tear through the former three-time NCW World Champion right here, right now. Crash rides into tonight with overwhelming experience that on paper should knock Botes out of the fight. But he quickly realizes how tough of a challenge he's found himself in as the initial collar-elbow tie ups are less sporty and more like two wooly mammoth's interlocking tusks. Botes gets the upper-hand but can't clasp the full-nelson to slam Crash. Instead, Crash dumps Botes to the outside. Botes is given no time to recover as Crash dives out of the ring, taking down the Hyena with a diving crossbody! But he takes a bit too long to indulge in the energy of the audience around him. Botes recovers and shoves Crash into the steel steps. But it's the methodical drilling of the legend's skull against those stairs that truly smothers the crowd.

Botes has is focus narrowed upon head and neck of Crash. Its not simple stretching of the muscles, its outright efforts to separate ligaments and if a vertebra goes then its to the Hyena's benefit. At one point's he found dragging Crash across the ring with an arm strapped into a keylock, only to double stomp the back of his head. Aware of the real peril he's fallen in, Crash must resort to a bite of Bote's thumb to break out of a go at the Anaconda Vice. Its only fleeting wince, but enough to let Crash curl into the corner. Botes intensity only escalates, snatching Crash from the corner and trying for a belly to back suplex. Crash can get a few elbows the hit the bridge of his opponent's nose. He hits a sitout jawbreaker, truly bringing the match back to an even playing field. Two opponents, both going to be coming out of this with fear for their noggins.

Crash can break down some of Botes rigid façade, but not enough to prevent him powering out of the N. Sane Powerbomb (Spin-out Sitout Powerbomb). Botes pounds fists into Crash's skull, causing him to stumble back into a set of ropes. Botes slides over his opponent's shoulders, gaining a quick foothold on the ring apron. He draws Crash to the outside and fears he's preparing to vertical suplex to the floor permeate the crowd. Crash has the awareness of what's about to happen and successfully blocks the lift. A savage headbutt dazes Botes, leading to Crash lifting him off of his feet and hitting the Aftershock 2.0 (belly-to-back suplex transitioned to elbow drop to the midsection) DOWN TO THE FLOOR!

Crash may have been able to gain the victory in that moment, but the lag time to getting Botes back in the ring thawed out that assurance. Once the pinfall failed, Crash felt another high risk move would bring an end to this brawl. His got at the Crash and Burn dropped down not on Botes, but the unforgiving mat. Botes had rolled aside and clawed his way to his feet. Crash forced himself up but was too dazed to communicate where his legs ought to go. Botes managed to put him down with a Savage Pounce (bicycle knee strike). After casting Crash shoulder's first into the ring post, he seats his opponent on the top turnbuckle. Botes is looking to execute the Predator's Break high up! But after a tense see-saw battle of fists and Botes loses his footing for a moment. Crash kicks him in the gut, gains control and brings Botes crashing down with the N. Same Wumpa Twist (Inverted Facelock Neck breaker Slam)! Hooks the leg and the Hyena of Johannesburg is put down for the night.

After a battered but still breathing Crash staggered back through the curtain, the crowd anticipated the next match in the women's tournament. But before the standard announcement of the match stipulation, commotion broke out in the entry way. Crash was in the midst of a beaten down by two towering figures, both dressed in black leather jackets. The major distinguishing feature being the shoulders of one appeared studded with bullets while the other had more prominence spikes. The former man had black hair slick back while the latter was shaven bald. Both men are well over 6 foot and in no time have a wounded Crash cornered against the barricade. Each man takes turns power bombing Crash spine first off, the steel divider between the crowd and their idol. Adding to the chaos was the sudden appearance of a brunette, cloaked in her own leather jacket and dawning a ballcap for the Detroit Tigers. She catches the attention of the two demons, directing their gaze to the timekeeper's table. And well…it's a timekeeper's table in NCW, you all know what happened next. Crash was put through it by both men. Even that did not quench their thirst for carnage, as they tore apart the steel steps and toss each half down upon the poor bandicoot in the splinters. Even the woman, dwarfed in the presence of these giants, is getting a few licks in with stomps on the Insane Bandicoot's abdomen. The assault may have continued had not for friendly members of the locker room pouring out. The trio jop the barricade and disappeared into the throngs of the NCW Faithful, leaving Crash's status for the championship round in question.

Macy Tarr vs. Grace Waters – Semi Finals in NCW World Women's Championship

Macy Tarr should have been eager for this night. After getting through the first round, she was only two matches away from being a potential world champion. In fact, any championship had alluded her throughout the times her career had false started. But the problem was she now had to face her estranged sister. This sibling rivalry has less to do with in-ring encounters and more with delusions the scrawny Grace has of her older sister. Though her accusations that Macy insults her mother's blood are absurd, it's a lie that gives Grace raw energy Macy cannot equal.

Macy tries her hardest to play this match as a clean wrestling match, almost amateur based. She rides on the false hope she can ground Grace to the mat enough times it'll be enough. While a three count is all you need to win, Macy's troubles are that Grace perceives this is a bare knuckles brawl. The referee mediates but Grace's punches and stomps weaken Macy to the point its difficult to tie her opponent up effectively. Its apparent Macy is unwilling to seriously hurt Grace, and her morales are her undoing in this bid of a championship. This is evident when Macy opts not to body slam but rather slide Grace's shoulders into a pin-attempt. Grace knocks out her sister with Possibilities Denied (Double Underhook DDT) for the win! Grace advances to the finals by demolishing her sister, while Macy's claim to fame tonight is being the first one to show crimson.

Travis Touchdown vs. Chris House – Semi Finals in NCW World Men's Championship

Just like last night, Chris House is visibly disgusted by whom he must go through in order to have a chance at another world title reign. But his desire to plunge into carnage may impede his ambitions as Travis Touchdown is happy to engage in such mayhem. Chris gains the advantage of the tie-up, but its Touchdown who makes the first major throw in the form of a german suplex. Chris tries to psyche himself to get to his feet in a hurry, but he's unprepared for a knife edge chop. He's sent reeling into a corner, where Travis repeats the chop. Efforts to go for a DDT are blocked, Chris shoving Travis away. A comeback from Tavis is tripped up by a legsweep. Travis claws toward the ropes to get up but ends up having the bottom rope dug into the side of neck. Chris has his knee firmly locked behind Travis' skull for 4/5ths of the rope break count. Chris snaps Travis into the ring's center with an underhook suplex, holding the bridge for a pin but unable to gain a three count.

Chris tries to kick off Travis' head after casting him into the ropes but ends up getting dumped outside. Chris stands up during Travis' jump from the top turnbuckle with a diving back elbow, which hits his opponent's jaw rather than the more classic landing! He takes advantage of being on the outside, Irish whipping Chris ribs first into the barricade. With the fans swinging to the support of Crownless King, Travis takes things a bit further. He grabs hold of Chris and delivers a belly-to-belly suplex, pounding Chris' back off the concrete floor of the NCW Arena! As the twenty counts nears its expiration, Travis casts Chris back under the ropes. Travis scales the top turnbuckle, this time hitting his diving back elbow to the chest of Chris. However, it's not enough to advance to the next round.

Soon, it's apparent the match is swelling toward a crescendo. Both men try to wear out the other, Travis with chops and Chris with verbal taunting. Not surprisingly, Travis wins this struggle in strengths, but Chris evades the approaching tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. He hooks the ropes and goads Travis into striking him. In the heat of the moment, Travis takes the bait. No strikes are landed. Travis is ensnared in the ropes and gives Chris the opportunity to bend the back of his opponent's neck with the awkward placement of the top rope. Of course he must break at five, but the damage has been done. While Travis manages to fight out of the fisherman set-up to the Lemon Brook Plunge, his own go of the Thunder Ryu Bomb is broken apart by a thumb to the eye during lift-up. Chris drives Travis to the mat with the Hellevator (Vertical Super Side Slam) for the win.

Korra vs. Grace Waters – NCW World Women's Championship

In the Women's Championship bout, Avatar Korra walked in the favorite. However, Grace Waters two showings in this tournament displayed a level of unprecedented rage that chewed up her competitors. While the years of experience heavily skew toward Korra, there remains a level of uncertainty around how she'll handle a rogue element. The opening moments see Korra attempting to tame the manic lunges by Grace. While Korra has the height and weight advantage, Grace manages to usurp the Avatar off her feet with a sit-out hip toss through sheer will. Grace immediately dives upon Korra, trying to keep her shoulders down. It's less about the pin itself but more to wail punches down upon her. The referee starts counting but Korra's able to roll over and through Grace off balance. Korra evades a lariat and casts Grace onto her back with a leg-hook Saito suplex. But a kick to the gut buys Grace enough time to crawl to a corner for safety. She steps back upon the bottom rope, giving her enough reach with her foot to kick an oncoming Korra in the side of the head. Gaining higher ground upon the turnbuckle, she pins Korra once more via a seated senton. Though she manages to hook a leg, it's not enough to gain a win.

Grace continues to try and knock out Korra. But where Macy was preoccupied with a morale conundrum, Korra has no qualms striking back just as savagely as her attacker. After a reciprocal right hand, she begins to fire a flurry of shoot kicks while keeping Grace's wrist locked. Korra adds an exclamation to the series with a roundhouse kick. She executes the northern lights suplex, complete with the bridge to make it a pin attempt but Grace kicks out. Korra is not deterred, trying to set her opponent up for a german suplex. But Grace's desperate elbow shots force the Avatar to fallback. She springboards off the ropes, adding power to a knife edge chop that sends Korra reeling into the far set of ropes. Grace builds enough steam to not simply clothesline Korra, but both go tumbling to the outside. While Grace hoped to take full advantage of the metal barricades surrounding her, an effort at a body avalanche only gives Korra time to recover and evade. The results are a sprinting Grace Waters JACKNIFING a segment of the barricade deep into the crowd. Korra rolls Grace back in the squared circle, and slingshots inside to execute a guillotine leg drop. But impressively, Grace kicks out!

Korra starts to believe she has all the pieces together to end the match. But Grace evades the Water Whip and latches a hold of Korra's foot. The Avatar tries shaking her off, but Grace succeeds in bringing her down fully with a drop toe hold. She successfully applies a calf crusher to Korra, going after the leg which the Avatar gravely injured a decade ago. Korra feels how dire the situation is. She flails her free leg in a desperate bid to drive off Grace. The kicks don't land her mark, but Grace gets cold feet and tries to reposition herself. It's an opening Korra takes advantage of, rolling her whole body with all her might to knock Grace astride. Grace tries to regain control, underhooking Korra's head and preparing to hit an abbreviated Possibilities Denied. Korra begins running her legs, blindly ramming Grace into the turnbuckle. Grace escapes to the top of the buckle, driving Korra back with a kick to the face. She throws herself off the top, hoping to splash across Korra with a diving crossbody, but Eats The Water Whip Instead! It was the freshly crushed leg, meaning both woman are down in the center of the ring.

The two slowly jockey for control, both punching each other while down on their knees. Grace gets a moment of separation and goes to springboard off the ropes, only to take a SECOND Water Whip that cuts her out of the air! This time, Grace is out, and unable to stop the Korralizer! Korra draws Grace into the ring's center and pins her successfully! For a record setting third-time, Korra has once more claimed the NCW World Women's Championship. Shortly after receiving the championship belt, Korra calls for a microphone.

"After being punched in the head a gazillion times….having a live microphone may not be the wisest thing I've done….But I rest assured knowing it isn't THE stupidest thing I've done…..If I'm doing this math right….I won this championship twice before. In fact, at one point, I even carried it on one shoulder and the CWF Women's Championship on the other. I went on to win the Soul of Wrestling Championship twice in Heart & Soul….and if you've been following be these past few years, you know I've made it my life's mission to keep the legacy of this place preserved. And in retrospect…I went too far with it, so much so they called me a Judas toward the cause of carnage and what it means to be an Avatar….but here I stand…here WE stand, BACK in Northern Carnage Wrestling. I look around and see many familiar faces, I know some were here back when me, Mako & Bolin were using our Pro Bending gear for ring protection…..but backstage, I don't know a lot of these new people. Are they good? Are they bad?.well, we're going to find out. Because for the sixth time in the history of the fiction wrestling multiverse, I am a world champion…and I'm wondering, are the familiar faces that once roamed our locker rooms…were they simply not able to find the time to come back to their home….do they see this as being beneath them?...or are they just scared?...we'll answer that and more, Johnstown, because this isn't no tribute show. This is the real deal, an honest goodness resurrection. We got a show booked just three weeks, right back here in the NCW Arena. And on that show, I am opening the floodgates to whomever wants a shot at this championship. We're going to find out who got the guts in the MULTIVERSE to dance in the land of carnage with its Hardcore Avatar!"

Crash Bandicoot vs. Christopher House – NCW World Men's Championship

To the delight of the fans in attendance, tonight's main event was molded into a new chapter in NCW's most storied rivalry. The problem was there was uncertainty about it was going to go through. Speculation abounded about Crash's condition after he suffered a savage beating (after a grueling match) at the hands of two brutes and their lasse. This situation deteriorated further when camera's cut from Korra's in-ring celebration to reveal that mysterious trio emerging from the private locker room of the Innovator of Carnage. It didn't appear they had given the man a warm welcome, either, as Chris was found laid out on the floor. When the security that soon attended the scene began to murmur of the match being called off, Chris is irate at the thought. He appears groggy on his feet but wills himself out to the ring. He demands the microphone from the ring announcer.

"….So a bunch of hot heads out of Detroit want to make a name for themselves?...I suppose they think that by beating down two former world champions, they'll steal away something important to all of you….But The Thing Is, Johnstown, I'm The Innovator Of Carnage! There is no man in this universe who got as high of a dols count as me…. but I can already hear the keyboards clicking away at home with one objection…and well, Crash, I'd very much like to silence those naysayers. What about you? Because I know you're not going to forfeit an opportunity to try and beat me again! Let alone the chance of being a four-time NCW World Champion! To hell with this busted leg, I will not rest until I've either gotten my hands back on the gold or you've killed me in the process!"

Although his midsection is heavily bandaged, Crash makes his appearance to the delight of everyone in the building. His sister trails behind, not wanting to talk her brother out of a championship opportunity. But she may sense something is foul about the whole situation and wants to be close to the ring to prevent shenanigans. There was no way Crash would favor a healthy future over one in which he stuffed a sock in Chris' mouth. But from the sound of the bell, something just does not feel right. It may be the fact this new era of NCW is enforcing your basic rules, but the two already had a straightforward singles contest up at State College many years back. No, it's the fact that while Crash is clearly powering through multiple injuries, Chris has far better stamina. Chris is easily able to sweep Crash off his feet with a legsweep, then begins to club away at his injured back. It's the belly-to-belly suplex that really puts Crash in peril, forcing him to slide to the outside. Chris tries taunting him back in the ring, but his words aren't working this time. Chris joins Crash on the outside, the two exchanging fist-o-cuffs, but Chris is the one that's own with a sitout jawbreaker on the floor.

Crash is trying to power through the pain, but his offense is limited without the use of his back muscles. He manages to springboard into the ring with the Super Belly Flop, but it's far from securing a three count. He focuses upon the right leg Chris has been visibly favoring through the match thus far, trying to lock on some form of single leg boston crab. But Crash is far from a submission specialist, Chris is able the gnaw his way to the ropes. No sooner he releases, he gets kicked in the lower back. Chris is quick to get back up, stomps on the injured back, before casting Crash into the turnbuckles with an exploder suplex. Chris tries for the pin but Crash wills his shoulder up.

Chris attempts to go high risk to put Crash away, via a superplex which will surely pulverize what remains of the vertebrae. Crash knows the peril and begins to repeatedly slam his head against Chris's chest, the moment from which knocks Chris' feet to the mat. He must dive right there and then manages to Tornado DDT Chris in the middle of the ring. It's unsuccessful in achieving a three count. He keeps the momentum up with a flying forearm smash. But in the bid for Crash & Burn, he rebounds not upon a prone Chris but his feet land over the back of the referee's head! Chris's efforts to roll away inadvertently cut the referee's feet from under him. Crash is frustrating but can't let Chris get far. The two start to punch each other senselessly until Crash is in control. He hits the Wumpa Twist and goes to the top turnbuckle. However, he's unable to deliver on the Crash Landing as the two brutes that had jumped him pop out from the crowd. Not just pushing their way through, the act of a security guard being LUNGED over the barricade is what distracts Crash from the match. But they don't rush the Insane Bandicoot, rather they have their sights set on his sister. They attempt to pounce toward her But Get Cut Off When Crash Cuts Across The Ring And Suicide Dives Upon The Two Brutes! The trajectory and impact were both gruesome, but it was a sacrifice Crash needed to make.

Unfortunately, he didn't count on the lasse that had been tagging along with the brutes. In the commotion she jumped the barricade opposite of the chaos and shoves Coco face first into the ring post. Then knocks her out with a short-arm lariat that uses the fist, not the arm, to make contact. Crash missed the assault as he's busy struggling out of the body pile he made himself the center of. He gets his hands on the ropes and struggles to claw back onto the apron's edge…only to EAT The Carbon Footprint Courtesy Of Chris' Right Foot! Down goes Crash, plunging back to the concrete floor. Here the machinations of the night all come together, as the brutes roll Crash back into the ring while locking eyes with an Innovator of Carnage that is relishing the scene. Each member of the trio squared upon on a different side of the ring, pounding the mat with their hands in contrast to the boos from the NCW Faithful. Chris repeats the Carbon Footprint with the right foot, which is in fact not 'busted'. But it's only with the Lemon Brook Plunge that Chris can complete this scheme of his to beat Crash and win the NCW World Men's Championship for a second time!

But that is not the final image the Resurrection of Northern Carnage Wrestling goes out with. Chris is back on the microphone and acknowledges the dismay of the crowd…but in a warp sense. Rather than it be the ploy he's conjured up to weaken Crash before the bell had even rung, be thinks a more violent finale will satisfy the bloodthirst the NCW Faithful are known for. As the two brutes stomp on Crash repeatedly, the woman hands the Innovator of Carnage an oblong duffle bag familiar to some in the crowd. A weedwhacker is unfurled, which Chris was right, it does get a pop from the audience. But its dread, not eagerness, that floods the NCW Arena as the brutes hold up a battered Crash….and Chris RAKES Crash's Chest With The Whacker! For the streaming audience at least, the last show they have of the night is Christopher House standing over the bloody pulp that once was his most formidable rival, championship raised in one hand while the crimson tainted weedwhacker is hoisted in the other.
