BTWF Cyber Sunday (Day 1 Part 2)
The lights in the arena went out as Damian Priest's theme song started to play and a red laser circle appeared on the stage. The crowd started booing as Gaara walked from the back with his head facing the ground into the red circle on the stage. Gaara looked up at the fans with a disgusted look before he started walking to the ring, with the red circle following him.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, from the Sand Village, Gaara!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd booed louder as Gaara continued to make his way to the ring, glaring when he turns to fans that were giving him the thumbs down.
"Gaara, ever since coming to the BTWF, has been undefeated!" Bob exclaimed as Gaara jumps to the apron before walking through the ropes while the crowd continued to boo him.
"And after destroying Trevor Woods, our President of Talent Relations, Mr. Woods has said that he found an opponent for Gaara at Cyber Sunday!" Kotoko exclaimed, as Gaara went to the middle of the ring, and punched the ground, causing the lights to come back up and the red circle to disappear.
"Gaara has demanded competition after he was able to defeat former International Champion Jonah von Bruken twice in dominant fashion, and he may get it here!" Striker exclaimed, before 'Hero' by Issues played, and the crowd cheered as Mirio Togata ran out of the back, causing Gaara in the ring to smirk and nod.
"And his opponent, from Tokyo Japan, Mirio Togata!" Tim Barr announced as the crowd continued to cheer Mirio as he ran down the ring, hi-fiving as many fans as he could on the way to the ring.
"What a pick by Trevor Woods!" Kotoko exclaimed, as Mirio ran into the ring and offered a handshake to Gaara who raised an eyebrow at him.
"Mirio has been a high prospect in the independent scene of Fanfiction Wrestling Multiverse, and it's pretty impressive that Trevor Woods was able to get him for the BTWF!" Striker exclaimed as Gaara slapped Mirio's hand away before slapping him in the face, causing the crowd to boo as Gaara chuckled and yelled 'Show me what ya got!'
"Well if Gaara wanted a fight, there's a VERY good chance that he just got one!" Bob exclaimed as the referee rang the bell, and Mirio immediately responded by punching Gaara in the face with a right-hand jab, causing the crowd to cheer and Gaara to falter as he checked his cheek. Gaara smirked before Mirio started hitting multiple right-handed jabs to Gaara's face before Irish whipping him into the ropes. However, when Gaara rebounded, he attempted to hit a running one-handed bulldog, but Mirio was able to counter it by holding onto Gaara, causing the crowd to cheer before he dropped Gaara with a back suplex. Mirio then picked Gaara up by the hair and threw him into the corner before running the ropes and hitting a running corner elbow to Gaara's head.
"You might be right there Bob, as Mirio has dominated the opening of this match!" Striker exclaimed as Mirio ran the ropes and hit multiple running corner elbows before hitting Gaara with a running Stinger Splash before hitting Gaara with a vertical suplex out of the corner. The crowd cheered as Mirio went into the corner and waited for Gaara to get back up, and when he did, Mirio hit him with a Discus punch that sent Gaara staggering into the ropes. Mirio then hit a clothesline onto Gaara that sent him falling out of the ring causing the crowd to cheer louder for Mirio.
"Gaara is still on his feet on the outside, but Mirio is still going after him!" Kotoko exclaimed as Mirio rolled out of the ring and started tackling Gaara into the fan barricade back first. Mirio briefly stopped to hi-five a couple of fans before he attempted to Irish whip Gaara into the steps. However, Gaara was able to vault over the steps, shocking the crowd as he flipped Mirio off while holding his back. Mirio attempted to run at him, but Gaara kicked the steps right into Mirio's gut and hit him with a vertical suplex of his own while the referee continued his count as the fans started to boo Gaara.

"And just like that, Gaara takes back control of this match with a devastating suplex onto the padded concrete!" Striker exclaimed as Gaara hit Mirio with a scoop slam onto the padded concrete before he mounted Mirio and started punching him in the face before changing his punches into elbows to the head. Gaara started yelling at Mirio to give him more of a challenge before he picked him up again and threw him chest first into the ring apron while the referee was continuing to count.
Ref: 4…5…6
Gaara glared at the referee before grabbing Mirio and throwing him back into the ring before rolling in after him. Gaara picked Mirio up by the hair and started punching him in the back of the head before leaving Mirio on his knees, running the ropes, and hit a knee to the back of Mirio's head. Gaara then picked Mirio up and threw him into the corner, before running the ropes and hit Mirio with a running Yakuza kick into the corner before hitting him with an exploder suplex and going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"Not many people can hit an exploder suplex onto someone the size of Mirio Togata!" Striker exclaimed, as Gaara picked Gaara up in a Powerslam position, hit him with the Oklahoma Stampede before throwing him head first into the middle turnbuckle with a Lawn Dart, causing the crowd to boo as Gaara yelled at Mirio to give him more of a challenge.
"That is true, Matt, but there aren't many people like Gaara in the world. He truly is one of a kind," Kotoko responded, as Gaara picked Mirio up and put him on the top turnbuckle. The crowd booed as Gaara hit multiple punches to the face and chest before holding a thumbs down in front of the crowd and Mirio, much to the crowd's chagrin. Gaara then climbed up to the 2nd rope and attempted to put Mirio in a Superplex position. However, the crowd cheered as Mirio started to punch Gaara in the gut, allowing Mirio to push Gaara off of the corner.
"Mirio is showing some signs of life! Hopefully, this could help him defeat the undefeated Gaara!" Bob exclaimed, as Mirio balanced himself off of the top rope and when Gaara got back to his feet, Mirio dived off of the top rope with a flying shoulder tackle, causing the crowd to cheer before Mirio went for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
Gaara kicked out and rolled into the corner, but Mirio was right behind him grabbing him by the arm and attempting to pick him up for a suplex, but Gaara hit Mirio in the face multiple times before Gaara was able to slip out of the hold and throw Mirio into the steel ring post arm first. The crowd booed as Gaara smirked as the referee checked on Mirio, who was holding his right arm in pain. Gaara grabbed Mirio and threw him into the steel ring post arm first again before pulling him out of the corner and repeating this process multiple times before kicking Mirio in the gut, running the ropes, and hit a lifting knee strike to Mirio's face, causing the crowd to boo and chant for Mirio.
"And Gaara showcasing his ruthless aggression with multiple throws into the steel ring post, most likely damaging the arm of Mirio!" Kotoko exclaimed, as Gaara mounted Mirio and started punching his arm before grabbing his arm and putting it in a keylock.
"And this is some very smart strategy by Gaara. Mirio is a powerhouse wrestler much like Gaara, so Gaara knows how important the arms are to the high impact power moves of wrestlers like him and Mirio," Striker explained. When he had the keylock locked in, Gaara stood on his feet and kept Mirio locked in the arm hold before he started to swing Mirio around, causing the crowd to boo before Gaara put Mirio on his shoulders in a Fireman's Carry Position.
"Oh God, what does Gaara have planned in that sick and twisted mind of his!?" Bob asked, as Gaara looked into the corner, and ran into the corner with Mirio in a Death Valley Driver position, causing Mirio's side and damaged right arm to hit the corner turnbuckles at top speed before Gaara hit a regular Death Valley Driver onto Mirio into the ring canvas before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2..
"Mirio just barely rolled his shoulder out! How did he possibly have enough energy to do that!?" Bob asked in shock before Gaara smirked at Mirio, nodding at Mirio's downed form before he started stomping onto his back and kicking him in the gut. Mirio responded with multiple gut punches before Gaara hit multiple headbutts to Mirio's face before hitting Mirio with a DDT, causing the crowd to boo before Gaara stomped on his throat and started choking him.
"And Gaara now trying to choke the life out of Mirio with his foot!" Kotoko as the referee tried to push Gaara off of Mirio. Gaara glared at the referee, causing him to run to the corner and warned Gaara that he would be disqualified if he attacked him. Gaara chuckled before grabbing Mirio's damaged right arm, wrung it, and dragged him to the corner. When Gaara got to the corner, he hit multiple blows to Mirio's arm before walking the ropes, much like the Undertaker, causing the crowd to look on in shock.
"Look at that impressive display of athleticism by Gaara! It's not an easy feat to walk the ropes!" Striker exclaimed as Gaara attempted to hit Mirio with a club to the back of the head. However, Mirio was able to catch Gaara and hit him with a Backbreaker/Powerslam combination, causing the crowd to cheer as Mirio fell to all fours while Gaara was on his back.
"And look at that strength by Mirio despite the pain in his arm!" Bob exclaimed as Mirio got into the corner while Gaara was starting to stagger back to his feet. While the crowd was cheering him on, Mirio ran at Gaara with multiple running clotheslines, a reverse atomic drop, a Triple H-esque knee facebuster, and a Running Powerslam. Mirio slapped his arm to get the blood flowing back into it before running the ropes and hitting Gaara with a running jumping leg drop before Mirio grabbed both of Gaara's legs, and deadlifted him.
"Wow! Look at the strength of Mirio!" Kotoko exclaimed as Mirio let Gaara go due to the pain in his arm. However, before Gaara could take advantage of this, Mirio hit multiple kicks to the sides and legs before pushing him into the corner with his foot. With the crowd behind him, Mirio ran the ropes and hit a jumping Stinger Splash onto Gaara before hitting him with a Snap Powerslam before flexing for the crowd, causing them to cheer even louder. Gaara already started to stagger back to his feet, so Mirio started punching him in the face until Gaara fell to his knees. Mirio ran the ropes again, but before he could hit a move onto Gaara, Gaara countered Mirio's running form with a Drop Toe Hold, sending Mirio falling throat first into the middle ropes.
"That was some surprisingly excellent in-ring savvy by Gaara!" Bob exclaimed before Gaara grabbed Mirio from behind and hit him with a German Suplex before bridging into a pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Mirio kicked out, causing Gaara to stare at Mirio with interest in his eyes before picking Mirio up, ran the ropes, and attempted a bicycle kick. However, Mirio was able to block the kick and pick him up in a Powerbomb position before sending him falling into the ropes throat first with an Alley Oop Bomb before running the ropes and hitting him with a knee to the back of the head and picked him up in a Powerslam position.
"What does Mirio have planned here!?" Kotoko asked as Mirio attempted a Tour of the Islands. However, Gaara was able to start punching Mirio's damaged arm, allowing Mirio's grip to weaken and Gaara to slip out of the hold, run the ropes, and hit Mirio in the side of the head with a bicycle kick before picking him up in an Argentine Backbreaker position.
"We may never know Kotoko, but we sure as hell know what Gaara has planned here!" Striker responded before Gaara hit Mirio with the Sands of Time (Burning Hammer), causing the crowd to boo before he went for the pin.

*Bell rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, Gaara!" Tim Barr announced, as Gaara got on his knees and shook an unconscious Mirio's hand, thanking him for the impressive fight.
"Mirio tried his best, but in the end, Gaara's desire to continue his undefeated streak and the damage done to his arm was simply too much for him to overcome," Bob lamented, as Gaara left the ring, his arms outstretched, yelling towards the backstage area 'Who's Next!?'
"And it seems like Gaara wants to know what else Trevor has up his sleeve," Striker noted as the referee checked Mirio in the ring while Gaara turned his attention to the fans, yelling at them while looking on at what he just did in the ring with a sick smile on his face.
"Gaara may have gotten the victory here, but we cannot discount the fighting spirit and immense power of Mirio Togata in this match. He's going to be a great addition to the Intensity roster," Striker said, before the camera cut to the backstage area where Jiro was in her locker room, strumming a few notes on her guitar. After a few chords, she appeared to finally realize that she was in front of the camera and gave an insincere smile.
"So…we're here in Silicon Valley for Cyber Sunday, and I'm not booked for a match. That's OK though, as I have no desire to put my life on the line based on the decisions made by all of you plebeians anyway," Jiro said with a mocking tone of voice before looking as though she was deep in thought.
"However, I do have a song that I want to perform for all of you. It was actually inspired by the first minute I stepped into Silicon Valley," Jiro said before she put her guitar in position and started strumming before her face contorted to one of disgust.
"But before I sing this song, there is one problem that has been plaguing my mind, and that's that glorified valet Juvia Lockser is ahead of me in championship contention. She got to face the Women's champion and team up with the top challenger's friends while I was stuck backstage instead of in front of the crowd where I belong. So instead of the song about this overrated city, I'm going to sing something else," Jiro ranted before she continued to strum her guitar.
"Juvia…finally in the spotlight. Crona getting you screen time just isn't right. In time, you'll be back to being a zero, and you'll be walking with Jiro," Jiro sang before the camera panned to the stage, where MJF's 'Better than You' played, causing the crowd to boo loudly as the Conglomerate (Patty and Liz Thompson, and Tohru) came out and started mocking the booing crowd.
"The following contest is a six-woman tag team match scheduled for one fall. Making their way to the ring, Patty Thompson, Liz Thompson, and Tohru; the Conglomerate!" Tim Barr announced as Patty and Liz ran to the ring while Tohru laughed at the fans who were giving her the thumbs down.
"The Conglomerate have taken the Intensity Women's Division by storm, and they look to continue that momentum in this upcoming match!" Striker exclaimed, as Patty, Liz, and Tohru rolled into the ring and went up to separate corners and posed, causing the crowd to boo even more than they already were. Before they could pose for longer, 'Centuries' by Fall Out Boy played, causing the crowd to cheer.
"And their opponents, the team of Ruby Rose, Yang Xiao Long, and Juvia Lockser!" Tim Barr announced as Juvia came running out while Ruby and Yang posed on the stage with both their hands up with their fingers in the shape of the devil horns, before following Juvia to the ring.
"The Conglomerate may have an advantage in this match due to their experience teaming together," Kotoko noted, as the three hi-fived their fans on their way to the ring while the Conglomerate looked on unimpressed.
"You have a good point there, Kotoko. Juvia doesn't have experience teaming up with Ruby and Yang, while the Conglomerate have spent months teaming up with each other while also receiving the best training money can buy at Lucy's behest," Bob explained, as the three rolled into the ring, with the referee keeping the Conglomerate separated while the Juvia started discussing strategy with Yang and Ruby. After the two teams were ready, the bell rang, with Juvia and Liz starting the match. Liz attempted to grab Juvia's arm, but Juvia got out of the hold by hitting her with multiple knife edge chops before Irish whipping her into the corner. Juvia ran at Liz, and Liz attempted to counter her with a boot to the face. However, Juvia was able to grab her leg, kick her in the back of the knee, and hit her with a back suplex before dragging her to the corner, where she tagged Yang into the match.
"Juvia is off to a hot start in this match!" Kotoko exclaimed as Juvia held Liz in a full nelson, allowing Yang to start punching Liz in the gut multiple times before Juvia went back to the apron, and Yang hit Liz with a scoop slam. The crowd cheered as Yang ran the ropes and hit a jumping elbow drop on her before running the ropes again and hitting a seated senton onto Liz's chest before tagging Ruby into the match. Yang picked Liz up and hit her with a reverse atomic drop before keeping her in place while Ruby ran the ropes and hit a jumping clothesline onto Liz, causing the crowd to cheer as Ruby went for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"That was a nice tag team move by Ruby and Yang! We forgot to mention that Ruby and Yang are a well-oiled machine as a tag team!" Striker exclaimed as Ruby picked Liz up and hit her with multiple elbows to the face before Irish whipping her into the ropes. Patty hit a blind tag onto Liz, causing the crowd to boo as Liz ducked underneath Ruby's leg. Patty attempted to springboard into the ring with a missile dropkick, but Ruby picked her up in a Powerbomb position and threw her into Liz, causing the crowd to cheer and Liz to roll out of the ring. Ruby turned Patty around and hit her with multiple uppercuts before picking her up over her shoulders.
"I'm surprised how little offense the Conglomerate has gotten in the early goings of this match!" Kotoko exclaimed as Yang ran off of the apron and hit a now standing Liz with a cannonball senton, causing the crowd to cheer. However, Tohru came into the ring and hit Ruby with a big boot, causing the crowd to boo and allowed Patty to free herself from Ruby's grasp. Patty started aggressively stomping on Ruby's back before running to her corner and tagging Tohru into the match. The crowd booed as Tohru went into the ring and picked Ruby up in a Fireman's Carry before Patty ran the ropes and hit a Flapjack/Leg Drop combination before Tohru went for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"The powerhouse of the Conglomerate has taken control of the match!" Bob exclaimed, as Tohru picked Ruby up in a Fireman's Carry Position and placed her on the top turnbuckle. Tohru started kicking Ruby in the gut multiple times before picking her up back in the Fireman's Carry and hitting her with an Attitude Adjustment before tagging Liz into the match who had gotten back onto the apron. Liz grabbed both of Ruby's arms and started kicking her in the head before hitting her with a neckbreaker. Liz then put her foot on Ruby's head and started scraping the top of her head, much to the crowd's chagrin, before tagging Patty into the match while still standing on Ruby's head. Liz got off of Ruby and cupped her hands, allowing Patty to get on her hands and hit Ruby with an assisted standing moonsault before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Patty grabbed Ruby by the hair and locked her in a chinlock with a knee pushing into the front of her back. The crowd clapped and chanted for Ruby while Yang and Juvia encouraged the fans to clap and chant even louder. Patty yelled at the fans before repeatedly hitting knees to Ruby's back before continuing to apply the chinlock. Ruby was able to get back to her feet after thirty seconds, causing the crowd to cheer, before she started clubbing Patty in the gut before attempting to Irish whip her into the ropes, but Patty was able to springboard off of the 2nd rope and hit a Flying Chuck pick onto Ruby, causing the crowd to boo before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"What a counter by Patty, but it wasn't enough to put Ruby away!" Bob exclaimed as Patty tagged Liz back into the match, and the two hit a double suplex onto Ruby that sent her hanging off the top rope from the stomach. The crowd booed as Liz went up to the top rope and did a throat slit taunt with her tongue out before jumping off of the top rope, attempting a knee to the back of Ruby's neck, but Ruby was able to get onto the apron. However, Liz was able to land on her feet and attempted to hit a punch to Ruby's face, but Ruby countered with a kick to the face before springboarding into the ring with a spear onto Liz, causing the crowd to cheer as Ruby started crawling to her corner.
"Ruby was able to escape that devastating knee to the back of the neck by Liz and is now looking for the tag!" Kotoko exclaimed as Liz grabbed Ruby's leg and attempted to keep her from her corner, but Ruby was still able to tag Yang into the match, who ran into the ring and hit a jumping elbow onto Liz, allowing Ruby to roll onto the apron, before picking Liz up and kicking her in the gut. The crowd continued to cheer as she ran the ropes and hit two clotheslines, two shoulder tackles, and a flapjack before running the ropes and hit a jumping headbutt to the chest of Liz before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Tohru got into the ring and stomped on Yang's back, breaking the pin, before picking her up. However, Juvia got into the ring and started punching her in the face multiple times, sending her staggering into the ropes. Juvia then ran the ropes and hit a Cactus Clothesline onto Tohru, sending both of them falling to the outside. Juvia then grabbed Tohru's hair and started slamming her into the steel steps, causing the crowd to cheer even louder. Meanwhile, in the ring, Yang grabbed Liz and picked her up with a Military Press before dropping her with a World's Strongest Slam, causing the crowd to cheer before Yang started climbing up the top rope. However, Patty ran behind her and kicked Yang in the back multiple times before springboarding into the ring and hitting Yang with a hurricanrana, causing the crowd to boo as she went back to the apron.
"And Patty bringing momentum back into the corner of the Conglomerate!" Striker exclaimed as Liz got back up to her feet and picked Yang up to hit her with a back suplex before mounting her back and punched her in the back of the head before tagging Patty into the match. Meanwhile, outside of the ring, Tohru lawn darted Juvia into the fan barricade before getting back onto the apron and holding Yang into the ropes by her hair. Liz ran the ropes and hit a knee to Yang's gut before Patty ran the ropes and hit a dropkick onto Yang before hitting her with a Tornado DDT off of the ropes before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"That was some excellent teamwork by the Conglomerate!" Bob exclaimed, as Patty hit multiple open palm strikes to Yang's face and hit her in the side of the head with an Enziguri before throwing Yang face-first into the top turnbuckle. Patty then started stomping Yang's chest and stomach, causing her to fall to the bottom turnbuckle. Patty tagged Tohru into the match before Patty ran the ropes and hit her with a running face was before picking her up and throwing her into a big boot by Tohru before picking Yang up and hitting her with a Michinoku Driver before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2.
"That Michinoku Driver should've finished the match, especially with Tohru slamming her with enough force to send her through the ring!" Kotoko exclaimed as Tohru picked Yang up and started to hit her with multiple headbutts to the face while Juvia started staggering back to her feet with her hand on her head as Ruby tried to extend her hand out for a tag. Tohru saw this and kicked Ruby's hand away before hitting a gutbuster onto Yang before running the ropes and hitting her with a leg drop before going for another pin.
Ref: 1…2.
Yang kicked out and Tohru responded by putting her in a nerve hold. Yang tried to get back to her feet, but Tohru clubbed her in the stomach multiple times before sending her back down with the nerve hold. By this time, Juvia had gotten back to her feet, with some blood dripping from the front of her face, and started walking back to the apron. Yang started punching Tohru in the face multiple times and hitting her with an Eat Defeat, allowing her to break the nerve hold before running to her corner and tagging Juvia into the match, causing the crowd to cheer as she started climbing up to the top rope.
"Juvia has been tagged in despite the blood pouring out of her face!" Striker exclaimed as Juvia dove off of the top rope with a missile dropkick onto Tohru before knocking Patty and Liz off of the apron with clotheslines before Ruby got into the ring and hit a springboard body press onto both Liz and Patty on the outside, causing the crowd to cheer while Juvia ran the ropes herself and hit a double stomp onto Yang's back before picking her up and hitting her with a neckbreaker and a springboard elbow drop from the middle rope before running the ropes and hitting a seated Tohru with a dropkick to the face before going for the pin.
Ref: 1…2
"Juvia is on a roll, but with how much she's bleeding, you have to wonder how long she'll last in this match," Striker pondered as Juvia picked Tohru up, and attempted to hit her with a Rainmaker (Go Home Driver), but Tohru was able to power her way out of the move and start punching Juvia in the face before throwing her into the corner. Tohru then hit a superkick onto Yang, sending her to the ground, before running into the ropes, hitting her with a flying knee to the face, and hitting her with a CCS Enziguri. Tohru then hit Juvia with a T-Bone suplex before picking Juvia up for a Dragon Driver (Steiner Screwdriver).

*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, Patty Thompson, Liz Thompson, and Tohru, the Conglomerate!" Tim Barr announced as the referee lifted Tohru's arm in victory while Liz was still punching Ruby in the head while Patty ran to the other side of the ring and started brawling with Yang while the crowd was booing the Conglomerate's victory.
"Lucy must be proud! The Conglomerate got a big win on PPV!" Bob exclaimed, as Ruby, Yang, Patty, and Liz started brawling their way to the stage and the back before Tohru pushed the referee to the side before following Liz and Patty to the stage and joined in on the brawl with Yang and Ruby.
"And despite their victory, 5 of the 6 women are still brawling!" Kotoko exclaimed as Jiro started walking out to the ring with her guitar still in her hand. Jiro was playing her guitar while Juvia was staggering to her feet with her face now completely covered in blood.
"And now we have Jiro Kyoka coming out here after insulting Juvia before the match started," Striker pointed out as Juvia glared at Jiro as she entered the ring and stopped playing with a microphone attached to her top.
"Juvia, I'm pretty sure that you didn't hear what I said to you before your match. Despite your pitiful attempt at a victory, I still feel like I should tell you that you should stick to being a valet for Crona because stars like me shouldn't be overshadowed by glorified valets like you. And so…I feel like I should teach you a lesson," Jiro said before kicking Juvia in the head multiple times before putting her in the Silencer (Kirifuda Clutch), causing the crowd to boo as Juvia tried to escape while the referee tried to break the hold.
"And Jiro is trying to choke Juvia out of complete jealousy after Juvia just ad a grueling match!" Striker exclaimed as the referee was finally able to get Jiro off of Juvia, who then told the medical personnel to check on Juvia while he took Jiro out of the ring. Jiro grabbed her guitar before walking away from Juvia and the ring of her own volition.
"Well, I think it's safe to say that Jiro has certainly made an impact on this PPV!" Bob exclaimed as the trainer helped pick Juvia up and assisted her out of the ring.
"And after this attack, we have Scott Stanford with the Stanford Station to talk about what happened before the PPV went on air!" Kotoko introduced as the camera panned to the TitanTron, where Scott Stanford was sitting in a computer room, facing the camera with a smile on his face.
"Hello BTWF fans, welcome to the Stanford Station, where I go through what happened before the PPV started. Representing Intensity, two matches could have some potential to change the title scenes on Intensity," Scott explained before turning on one of the computers that showed Gray Fullbuster and Lyon Bastia vs. Toby and Yuka.
"In the first official tag team match of the show, the new tag team of Gray Fullbuster and Lyon Bastia were able to stop Yuka and Toby cold with the Hyperthermia (Crippler Crossface)/Ice Pick (Sharpshooter) combination onto Yuka to get the submission victory in five minutes and thirty-five seconds. Gray and Lyon have been trying to prove themselves as a tag team on Intensity, and this could be the beginning of something big for this up and coming tag team," Scott explained before the computers turned to have Jonah von Bruken vs. Yuma.
"Both of these two have gone in a bit of a slump recently. Jonah has suffered multiple losses to Gaara, and Yuma hasn't been as successful in the Cruiserweight division as he once was. These two were trying to build a little momentum for their careers and after 9 minutes and twenty-six seconds, Jonah was able to win the match by countering a running hurricanrana by Yuma into a Neutralizer. After the match, Jonah told the live crowd that he is willing to face anyone to get the International Title back," Scott explained before the computers turned off and the camera panned back to Scott.
"Thank you for your time ladies and gentlemen, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the PPV," Scott said before he waved goodbye as the camera panned to the stage before 'We Are One' by 12 Stones played, causing the crowd to boo, as Marco came strutting to the ring with a smirk on his face.
"The following contest if for the BTWF Cruiserweight Championship. Introducing the challenger first, from San Jose, California, representing the NWO, Marco Diaz!" Tim Barr announced as Marco shook his head at the booing fans before rolling into the ring, and sitting in the corner, waiting for Crona to arrive.
"We may not know what type of match this is, but both men are oozing confidence heading into it!" Bob exclaimed, as 'Nightmares' by Conquer Divide started playing, as the crowd cheered Crona running out from the back with the Cruiserweight Championship around his waist as he looked on at the cheering crowd, and pounded the ground before shooting both his arms up, causing purple pyro to shoot behind him.
"And his opponent, from Death City, Nevada, he is the BTWF Cruiserweight Champion, Crona Gorgon!" Tim Barr announced as Crona started making his way to the ring, glaring at Marco while hi-fiving fans on the way to the ring. Marco didn't seem to care about Crona's reaction and continued to smirk at him.
"Crona can't be in a good mood after seeing what happened with his girlfriend, Juvia Lockser, after the previous match!" Kotoko exclaimed as Crona rolled into the ring, took the title off of his waist, and lifted it over his head.
"As if Marco hadn't already been giving Crona a hard time in his efforts to get the championship back!" Striker responded before the camera panned to the podium, where Scott Stanford was panting before he looked up at the camera and smiled.
"Sorry, I'm late everyone! It was a bit of a long run from the Stanford Station to the stage. Anyway, let's see what this match will be. Will these two competitors have to climb up both the proverbial and literal ladder to get the Cruiserweight Championship? Will the fans have more to do with the match than just voting in a Fans Bring the Weapons match? Or will we have a Bullrope match between two Cruiserweights who despise each other more than Bill Maher hates Donald Trump?" Scott asked, as the camera panned to the TitanTron, where several images blinked in and out of existence before 'Ladder Match' stayed on the screen, causing the crowd to cheer as backstage personnel got ladders from the back and started bringing them to the ring. Crona also handed his championship to the referee so that it could be hung above the ring on the suspender.
"And the fans have picked the ladder match for these two Cruiserweights! This should be one action-packed match!" Kotoko exclaimed as the bell rang, with Crona going after Marco who was still in the corner and hit him with multiple punches to the face before beginning to hit him with knife-edge chops to the chest. Marco attempted to run off but Crona grabbed Marco by the hair and turned him around to hit him with a dropkick, causing the crowd to cheer before running the ropes and hit him with a jumping clothesline. Crona then mounted Marco and started hitting him with constant forearms before Marco poked Crona in the eye and escaped to the outside, causing the crowd to boo.
"Crona started off this match fast and furious and knowing how most ladder matches go, that may not be the smartest strategy!" Striker exclaimed as Crona followed Marco out of the ring and started clubbing him in the back before he could get a ladder. Crona then grabbed Marco by the hair and threw him into one of the ladders, knocking it down. Crona picked Marco up and hit him with a scoop slam onto the fallen ladder before going up to the apron, and hitting him with a moonsault, causing the crowd to cheer louder and chant for Crona before Crona walked to another side of the ring to get another ladder.
"Well it looks like Crona still has plenty of momentum in this match, Matt, and he may win this match right here!" Bob exclaimed as Crona took the ladder and threw it into the ladder, following it in the ring before he put the ladder in the middle of the ring. The crowd cheered as Crona finished setting up the ladder and started climbing up the ladder. However, the crowd booed as Marco came into the ring and clubbed him in the back before pulling him off of the ladder. Marco then started punching Crona in the face that sent him staggering into the corner before he ran the ropes, attempting a running forearm into the corner. However, Crona was able to catch him and hit him with an arm drag before hitting Marco with another dropkick while on his knees causing the crowd to cheer as he threw Marco out of the ring before making his way to the ladder.
"And Crona once again able to send Marco packing so he can get to the championship hung above the ring!" Striker exclaimed as Crona again made his way up the ladder. Crona only made it halfway up before Marco came into the ring again, this time springboarding in with a dropkick to Crona's back that caused him to fall off of the ladder, and land on his knee, causing the crowd to cringe and wince as they saw Crona roll towards the ropes as he checked on his knee.
"I think Crona may have injured himself off of that landing!" Kotoko exclaimed as the referee came running to check on Crona while Marco turned around and noticed what was going on. When he saw that Crona was holding onto his leg, Marco smirked before he pushed the referee away and started stomping on Crona's knee, causing the crowd to boo before he rolled out of the ring and smashed the back of Crona's knee into the ring apron.
"Crona probably did hurt his leg on that landing, and Marco is taking advantage of it!" Bob exclaimed as Marco pulled Crona out of the ring and threw him into the fan barricade before stomping on his gut and stomped on his knees a couple of times. Marco then walked backwards and ran at Crona to hit him with a dropkick to the face before throwing him into the stairs, causing the back of Crona's leg to clip the sides of the steel steps before Marco went onto the apron and flipped off the crowd before causing the crowd booed.
"Well if he wants to win a ladder match, Marco should target the leg of Crona to make it harder for him to climb the ladder!" Striker exclaimed as Marco jumped back onto the floor and started punching Crona in the face while Crona tried to crawl away. Marco then grabbed Crona's leg and started kicking the side of his knee before picking him up and throwing him face-first into the steel steps. Marco walked after Crona who was attempting to get back to his feet, before he ran at Crona, grabbed him by the hair, and started slamming his head into the top of the steel steps repeatedly.
"And now Marco is trying to bust Crona open with the steel steps!" Kotoko exclaimed as Marco stopped hitting Crona and pulled him back by his hair, showing off Crona's now blood-covered face for the camera. The crowd booed as Marco started yelling in Crona's bleeding face before hitting him with a back suplex onto the padded concrete. Marco decided to roll back into the ring and started climbing up the ladder. However, as he was climbing, he noticed that Crona was starting to stagger. Marco looked up at the title before chuckling and climbing down the ladder.
"Wait…why is Marco going down? He had the victory right there!" Bob asked as Marco looked at Crona struggling to get up and ran the ropes to hit a suicide dive. However, Crona was able to see this coming and hit him in the face with a C-Trigger (V-Trigger) onto Marco's face, causing the crowd to cheer.
"Well he was planning on making sure Crona stayed down but Crona sucked him into that knee to the face!" Striker exclaimed as Crona rolled into the ring, but was limping to the ladder due to using the knee that got hurt to hit Marco with the C-Trigger. Crona started climbing the ladder just as Marco started getting up with a hand over his jaw. Crona was only a few steps up, but Marco pulled Crona off of the ladder. However, the two started exchanging punches until Crona was able to send Marco into the corner with multiple palm strikes to the head, sending him falling to the bottom turnbuckle.
"Despite Crona not only bleeding from the head but having a damaged leg, he is showing plenty of fighting spirit!" Striker exclaimed as Crona started stomping on Marco's gut with the crowd chanting his name as he continued to stomp on Marco. However, Marco was able to grab Crona's leg and get back to his feet. Crona attempted to hit an enziguri onto Marco, but Marco ducked and hit a double foot stomp to the back of Crona's head before rolling out of the ring, causing the crowd to boo.
"I think Marco may have snuffed that out!" Bob exclaimed as Marco grabbed another smaller ladder and pushed it into the ring. Crona attempted to kick Marco in the knee, but Marco kicked Crona in the face before putting Crona's leg in between of both legs of the ladder. Marco pulled up one leg of the ladder and smashed it into Crona's damaged leg. Crona attempted to escape while writhing in pain, before Marco started doing it repeatedly, causing the jeers of the crowd to get louder and louder with each blow. Marco then pulled the ladder away from Crona and stood on his knee before posing with one arm flexing as the crowd booed and chanted 'You Suck' at him.
"Definitely snuffed it out with that attack to the leg with the ladder!" Kotoko exclaimed as Marco picked Crona up and hit him with a shin breaker before hitting him with a back suplex facebuster onto the smaller ladder. Marco then grabbed Crona by the leg and dragged him to the steel ring post before leaving the ring with his hand still on his leg. Marco then wrapped Crona's legs around the ring post and started kicking his knees before yelling at the booing crowd. As Crona tried to escape, Marco grabbed his legs again and wrapped him in a Figure 4 Leglock around the ring post, causing the crowd to boo and the crowd to chant for Crona. After about thirty seconds, Marco let go of the hold and jumped up to the apron before hitting a twisting splash onto Crona.
"That was an impressive set of moves by Marco!" Striker exclaimed as Marco picked Crona up for a suplex. Crona started punching Marco in the gut multiple times before pushing him off and hitting him with a jumping spin kick with his damaged leg. Marco stayed on his feet and pushed Crona into the corner and attempted to hit him with a body splash, but Crona was able to duck and escape to the apron, causing Marco to hit the top turnbuckle with his face and fall out of the ring. The crowd started cheering as Crona shimmied his way to the middle of the apron where Marco was staggering before hitting Marco with a springboard moonsault. However, he landed on his leg so he briefly stopped to calm the pain before going up onto the fan barricade.
While sitting on top of the fan barricade on his knees, Crona jumped off the fan barricade to hit Marco with a senton before limping to the other side of the ring and grabbing a ladder. The crowd cheered as Crona made his way to Marco while using all his strength to carry the ladder in front of him. However, by this time, Marco was back to his feet and hit Crona with a running dropkick, that caused him to fall on his back and the ladder to fall with him on his face. The crowd booed as Marco went to the apron and ran off of the apron with a Shooting Star Press onto Crona and the ladder.
"And what a beautiful Shooting Star Press from the former Cruiserweight Champion!" Kotoko exclaimed as Marco got up with a hand over his ribs before stomping onto Crona's gut before grabbing his right leg. Crona started kicking at Marco, but Marco made Crona stop with multiple knees to the back of Crona's right knee. The crowd booed as Marco continued to drag Crona by the leg and threw him onto the Spanish announce table. Marco started punching Crona in the face while Crona desperately tried to cover his face with his arms. The crowd booed as Marco grabbed another ladder from the side of the ring.
"What does Marco have planned now with this ladder!?" Bob asked as Marco started climbing up the rope while occasionally looking back to see if Crona was still on the table. The crowd booed as Marco was on the top of the ladder, but they cheered as Crona rolled out off of the table and grabbed the bottom rung of the ladder.
"Well whatever it is, it may have to change since Crona is now off the table and heading up the ladder!" Striker exclaimed as Crona dragged himself up the ladder, with Marco looking on in shock before he started kicking Crona in the face attempting to push him off the ladder. However, Crona grabbed his leg and pushed it out of the way before hitting him with a low blow, causing the crowd to cheer.
"Not exactly a fan-friendly move, but when you're a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest, you have to be a little underhanded," Bob countered as Crona grabbed Marco and after he balanced himself, Crona hit a Hurricanrana off of the top of the ladder onto Marco that sent them both through the Spanish announcers' table, causing the crowd to explode into cheers and chant 'Holy Shit!' as the two laid down in the rubble of the table.
"Oh my God! What a Hurricanrana off the top of the ladder by Crona!" Kotoko exclaimed as Crona and Marco started to wiggle around and sit up, while the crowd continued to chant 'Holy Shit!' and 'Crona!'
"That's how much being the Cruiserweight Champion means to Crona and how much he's willing to do to keep it around his waist!" Striker exclaimed as Crona was able to get onto all fours and began crawling towards the ring causing the crowd to cheer and chant for him.
"That Hurricanrana may have done it for Marco as Crona is making his way to the ring!" Bob exclaimed as Marco also started to crawl towards the ring. While Crona started climbing into the ring, Marco grabbed Crona's damaged leg and attempted to pull him out of the ring, causing the crowd to boo and continue chanting for Crona. Crona turned around and started punching Marco in the face, and Marco responded with multiple knees to the gut. The crowd booed as Marco grabbed Crona by the hair and slammed the back of his head into the steel ring post before kicking them in the gut and hitting Crona with a Swinging Fisherman's Neckbreaker that sent him back first into the steel ring post, causing the crowd to boo as Marco rolled into the ring and took a break to get his breath back.
"That shot to the back may have done more to hinder Crona's ability to climb the ladder!" Kotoko exclaimed as Marco started climbing the ladder. Due to the damage done to his back, Marco was walking a lot slower than normal. This allowed Crona to get enough time to get back to his feet and roll back into the ring where he pushed the ladder over, knocking Marco off of the ladder and into the ropes. This left Marco hanging off of the ropes from his stomach while Crona sat down in the corner, punching his knee a few times to get the blood flowing back into it before he went to Marco and hit him with a Rope Hung DDT before he turned his attention to the ladder.
"Crona trying his best to ignore the pain in his leg, which could spell disaster later!" Striker exclaimed as Crona grabbed the ladder and set it up in the middle of the ring. Marco sprung to his feet with his hand on his head and attempted to hit a dropkick onto Crona, but Crona moved out of the way and attempted to rocket up to the rungs. However, Marco got up and hit a dropkick to the back of Crona's leg and hit him with a reverse DDT from halfway up the ladder, causing the crowd to boo as Marco moved Crona out of the way before he started climbing. However, Crona used his legs to keep Marco from climbing by wrapping them around Marco's legs, causing the crowd to cheer again. However, those cheers quickly turned to boos when Marco pulled one of his legs out of Crona's grasp and started stomping on his injured knee before he started to climb the ladder again.
"Well I don't think after those stomps, he can ignore the pain in his leg anymore!" Bob countered as Crona got to his knees and grabbed both of Marco's legs with his hands, causing him to trip and fall off of the ladder. Marco grabbed Crona and started punching him in the face before throwing him out of the ring. Marco followed Crona out of the ring and threw him into the side of the announcers' table before going underneath the ring.
"And I think Marco has something planned for Crona that may be the end of him!" Kotoko exclaimed as Marco started grabbing multiple chairs and threw them out onto ringside. Marco grabbed one of the chairs and started hitting Crona in the back multiple times before throwing him into the steel steps. The crowd booed as Marco arranged the chairs into a pile before going back after Crona who was behind the steel steps. However, Crona grabbed one of the ladders nearby and pushed it over, causing it to hit Marco on the top of the head. This sent him falling onto his back with the top of his head busted open, causing the crowd to cheer and chant for Crona as he started getting back to his feet.
"That was brutal! Both men are bleeding and losing stamina quicker and quicker as this match goes on!" Bob exclaimed as Crona rolled into the ring, and limped to the ladder. Crona started to climb the ladder before he looked back at Marco, who used the steel steps to carry himself back to his feet. Crona glared at the dizzy and bloody Marco before getting off the ladder and walking up to the ropes. Marco saw this and attempted to grab his feet, but Crona stomped on his hands and kicked them out of the ring before jumping out to the floor with a springboard crossbody. Crona got up and banged on the announcers' table before limping back to Marco and stomping on him repeatedly.
"Crona, much like Marco was earlier in the match, wants to make absolutely sure that Marco can't interrupt him going up the ladder!" Striker exclaimed as Crona picked up one of the steel chairs that Marco brought out and started hitting him multiple times in the back and chest before throwing it at his face, causing the crowd to cheer even louder as Crona picked Marco up and attempted to throw him into the table, but Marco reversed the Irish whip, but Crona was able to jump up onto the announcers' table. However, Marco was able to chop block Crona, causing him to fall backwards, allowing Marco to start stomping and clubbing Crona's chest before grabbing Crona's injured leg and put him in a single leg Boston Crab.
"And the single-leg Boston Crab is locked in! Tap outs do not count in this match but this could deliver more damage to the leg than Marco has already delivered!" Kotoko exclaimed as Crona tried to elbow Marco in the back to get him off, but Marco continued to stretch the hold onto Crona. Crona was able to grab a chair that he had used earlier, and started hitting Marco in the back, causing Marco to finally release the hold and run back to the stairs. Marco did grab the ladder that hit him in the head earlier and picked it up over his head. Marco attempted to throw it at Crona, but Crona was able to catch it, causing the crowd to cheer louder. Crona then wrapped it around his head like Terry Funk and spun around, hitting him in the head multiple times, causing Marco to fall back down face first.
"Crona with a tribute to hardcore legend Terry Funk!" Bob exclaimed as Crona grabbed Marco by his arms, and looked on at the fans with blood pouring out of his head, causing the crowd to explode, before he hit multiple knees to Marco's face, finishing off with a standing C-Trigger (V-Trigger). Crona picked Marco up in an Electric Chair Position, walked up to the pile of chairs in front of the announcers' table and spun around with the crowd cheering louder with every rotation before finally dropping Marco back first onto the pile of chairs with a Ragnarok (One-Winged Angel), causing the crowd to explode before he fell to the ground face-first with the crowd chanting 'Holy Shit!'
"Oh my God! Crona may have broken Marco's back with that explosive Ragnarok!" Striker exclaimed as Crona rolled into the ring as quickly as he could and started crawling to the ladder. While Marco was still laying on the floor with a hand on his back, Crona continued to limp up the ladder with his right leg barely hanging off of the ladder before he finally made it to the top after almost a minute. Marco had finally gotten into a seated position by the time Crona finally grabbed the Cruiserweight title from the suspender and took it off, causing the crowd to explode.
*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, and still the BTWF Cruiserweight Champion, Crona Gorgon!" Tim Barr exclaimed as Crona climbed down the ladder with the title as the crowd continued to cheer and chant 'Crona!' and 'That Was Awesome!'
"After all the chaos and damage both men went through in this match, Crona was able to ignore the seemingly unbearable pain in his leg to climb the ladder and reclaim his Cruiserweight Championship!" Striker exclaimed as Crona limped to the corner and held the championship above his head while Marco looked on from within the pile of chairs, glaring at a celebrating Crona.
"Marco looks disappointed that he didn't win this match despite all the trash talk that he was saying heading into Cyber Sunday!" Kotoko exclaimed as Crona rolled out of the ring with the championship still held over his head. Crona was hi-fiving fans as he limped to the back while Marco pounded the mat below him in frustration while the ringside trainers were checking on him.
"Well, Marco doesn't have anything to be ashamed of in my opinion. Both he and Crona gave it their all in this match to win the coveted Cruiserweight Championship!" Bob exclaimed as Crona stopped walking when he got in the middle of the stage, turned to the still cheering fans, and shot his hand that held the Cruiserweight Championship up, causing the crowd to cheer even louder.
"Well, now the question remains; who will be the next challenger for the Cruiserweight Championship?" Striker asked before the camera panned to the backstage area where Jay Hunter was standing in the interview area with a microphone in his hand.
"That was an insane match ladies and gentlemen. But right now, I have an interview with our newest BTWF superstar, 1 Million Percent, Mirio Togata!" Jay Hunter introduced with the camera panning to the right, revealing a surprisingly excited Mirio Togata with a towel over his head.
"Hello Mirio, you're…surprisingly happy despite your hellacious match with Gaara not too long ago," Jay pointed out before Mirio laughed and patted Jay on the back.
"Yeah, it was a really painful experience. But it was a real learning experience as well. My match with Gaara taught me that the BTWF has some fantastic talent that will give me some good competition," Mirio responded with Jay nodding and chuckling at Mirio's infectious optimism.
"You're kind of starting to sound like Gaara there," Jay joked, causing Mirio to resume laughing before they both stopped. "Anyway, since you have some connection with both Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo, I wanted your opinion on who you think will win the main event for the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship?" Jay asked. Mirio got a serious look on his face before taking a moment to think.
"Well, my prediction may not be 100% given the fact that there's a special guest referee. But, I've worked and trained with both men, and they both have anger and rage for each other going into this match. That being said…I think that Bakugo's ego and narcissism are going to cost him in the end," Mirio responded. Before Mirio could leave, Bakugo rushed him backstage, hitting him in the face with the BTWF World Heavyweight Championship before grabbing him by the collar and grabbing Jay's microphone before he ran away.
"Oh, my ego's gonna cost me!? You're nothing but an overhyped loser! Don't ever let me hear my name come out of your mouth again, or else what I do to Deku tonight will be nothing compared to what I do to you!" Bakugo yelled before walking away just as a medical trainer came running down to check on Mirio.
