Animosity #13: January 26, 2016

Scott Parker: Welcome to Animosity number 13! The Warehouse has survived the winter storm and there’s a full house tonight. We have a full show scheduled for tonight as there are seven matches lined up. We’ll see the EW Heavyweight Champion in tonight’s main event as Billy Way teams up with Ursula Areano. They’ll be ready to take on Notch and the Primetime Champion Casey Grey.

Gemma Foster: That is one star studded main event.

Scott Parker: Also on tap, Jessica Sears makes her singles debut here in EW as she’ll take on Gio DeLuca.

Gemma Foster: It’ll also be a debut for Cody Williams, who made it clear he has goals for EW and BWF for 2016, and Ben Macbeth will take on Derrick Daze as Macbeth looks to teach EW some manners.


Era of Entertainment




The entrance ramp is covered by fog once, “Empire (Let Them Sing)” by Bring Me the Horizon blares out. As soon as we hear the lead singer yells out, “Let them sing” Billy Way steps out with the EW Heavyweight Championship around his waist as the crowd showers him with boos. Billy is actually wearing a t-shirt that says, “You’ll Remember Billy Way,” a parody of The Notch’s, “You’ll Remember My Name” catchphrase. He’s also wearing his vintage Tyler Durden-esque red jacket with the shades to match. Billy spreads his arms apart and yells out, “MAKE WAY FOR YOUR NEW CHAMP” once we hear the first verse. After taunting to the fans, Billy dances (that’s right, dances!) to the ring, homage to his old EWS entrance. Once he enters the ring, he receives a microphone from the timekeeper before directing his attention to the crowd, putting his shades inside his pocket

Billy Way : HAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Yup, its official, Billy Way has lost his damn mind as he hysterically laughs out loud and even rolls on the ground laughing as the crowd not sure how to react towards this lunatic.

Billy Way : DO I HAVE HEART, NOTCH? HUH TELL ME NOTCH, DO I HAVE A HEART NOW???

Billy is yelling out his words, making sure everyone including the people in the cheap seats can hear him loud and clear.

Billy Way : Because I…I can feel my “heart” pumping to my chest ever since Wrestlefest. I can hear my heart beep to the rhythm of your despair and the sounds of being announced as the NEW EW Heavyweight Champion keeps ringing in my ears. Ohh baby what a time to be alive! I want this moment to last a lifetime! And you know what Notch, despite winning the championship and finally getting my dues, you and I are not through. Oh no oh no. I told you from day one that my issues with you are more than a championship. It goes DEEPER than that Notchy boy. I hate everything about you and what you represent. You Notch, represent every fucking old “veterans” that thinks that people should bow down to them and remind people about the typical clichés of giving it all for the business. You represent the tired story of the old underdog, reliving his glory days and holding on to slimmer hope you call career. You represent the boring archetype of a hero, the man young boys and girls look up to and women fawned over to. The fact that I’m now EW Heavyweight Champion and these fans still boos me while they still cheer for a fraud like you and truth be told..THAT SICKENS ME

Billy says the last words in frustration before taking a moment to breathe. Billy suddenly smiles, creepily in fact as he continues his promo

Billy Way ” But that’s okay. Love me or hate me, treat me as a hero or a villain, but the truth is…I’m neither. I am what I am and that is YOUR SAVIOUR! I’m the man that will show you all the true way of entertainment he he he and I told you from day one that I will expose wrestling’s biggest fraud The Notch and do you all a favour which is getting rid of The Notch from this business permanently. I already took his baby.

Billy unstraps the EW Heavyweight championship and raises it up high for the world to see

Billy Way : And soon…I will take away his heart. Notch, the question is, when? When will you request your rematch? …..When will I take your heart? The answer is up to you. Either way Notchy boy, you and everyone else are witnessing the true era of entertainment. You’re witnessing the Era of Billy Way. You think you can do anything about that? I DON’T THINK SO

Billy laughs after saying Notch`s catchphrase before his theme song blares out again. Billy taunts the fans while showing off his newly won championship in pride.


Furious One


"Psycho" by Puddle of Mudd began to play as the fans booed the entrance of Chris Vector. He made his way to the stage with a microphone in his hand. He began to walk and talk as his music cut out.

Chris Vector: I'm in a salty mood...NOT because I lost a little pocket change but because...instead of talking to me about it and giving me something I want and deserve RIGHT when I walked through that fucking walkway…

He pointed up towards the ramp.

Chris Vector: Instead they took the cheap way out and suspended me...now is that fair? NO! It's not the slightest bit fair and that night I could see from the trainer's eyes and that poor soul's eyes that they feared me… I could see from Mr. Mason's actions that he too… fears me. I could see from the people in the back's eyes as I was being whisked away by security for "inappropriate actions" that they feared me… except one man and that man is the former World Champ The Notch.

There’s a nice cheer for Notch’s name.

Chris Vector: SHUT UP! When I am talking YOU inbreds listen.

He begins to be drowned out by the boos in the arena.

Chris Vector: Where was I? Oh yeah, Notch looked as he didn't fear me and when he decided to put his hand out to feed the dog...the dog bit and now he's former world champion and I'm still not number 1 contender for the world championship....and I know why.....It's because that jerk off Wade Mason doesn't want me champ so he's setting me back and making me prove what I already know.

He tossed the microphone out of the ring as he looked towards the back.

Scott Parker: Does Chris Vector think he should be number one contender just because he beat Gabriel Noir? Someone that had yet to win a match and went 0-2 in his short EW career?

Gemma Foster: Wrestling does attract a delusional sort.


Christopher Vector Vs. Calypso


Calypso took his time getting into the ring and taunted Vector as he entered. Calypso met him in the center of the ring with a hard slap which caused Vector to spear him to the mat. Vector unloaded left and right hands on Calypso. Calypso rolled Vector off and jumped to his feet. Vector hit Calypso with a hard uppercut before sending him into the ropes. Calpyso looked for a clothesline and connected, flipping Vector around. Vector staggered up to his feet and Calypso pulled him into a DDT. Vector pushed him away and hit a jumping knee to Calypso’s face. Calypso was taken down with a sidewalk slam and Vector climbed back to his feet. Calypso used the ropes to pull himself up and took a kick to the gut as Vector pulled him to the center of the ring. Vector grabbed Calypso and delivered the Conspiracy (Belly to Back Piledriver) and went into a cover. One… two… three!

WINNER: Christopher Vector, via pinfall 8:04

Scott Parker: So we’re going to have to listen to Chris Vector more about how he should be in line for a title match?

Gemma Foster: God help us.


In the Name of the Nerd Nation!


Exploring the backstage halls of the Warehouse, Kevin Olson is looking around and humming to himself. He likes to keep himself busy with a productive mindset. Tonight seems to be another night at work when suddenly…

? ? ?: Victor-saaan!

Somebody jumps on his back and startles him, nearly losing his balance.

Kevin Olson: AH! W-what did I do?!

? ? ?: Huh?

The camera pans back to reveal Kevin’s “attacker” to be none other than “The Nerd Extraordinaire” Jessica Sears. She blinks and tilts her head as he slowly looks over his shoulder at her.

Jessica Sears: Oh! Mr. Kevin! I’m sorry about that!

Casually she hops off, spins around to move in front of him, and straightens his suit jacket for him. She grins sheepishly and sticks her tongue out.

Jessica Sears: I thought you were my friend. He used to look a lot like you. Deja vu is a little weird, huh?

Kevin Olson: I guess so! Phew, I thought I was being attacked…

He half-heartedly chuckles and thanks her for fixing his jacket. She nods and smiles.

Jessica Sears: Sorry, again. Next time I’ll be sure to look twice.

Kevin Olson: Haha, I appreciate that. But while you’re here, would you mind if I asked you a few questions?

Jessica Sears: I don’t mind! It’s the least I can do.

Kevin Olson: Perfect. So, the Haters, Gio DeLuca and Dominic Salvatore… they’re a pretty scary tag team in Empire Wrestling. What made you accept their open challenge on the last Animosity?

Jessica Sears: A little excitement, a little impatience, and A LOT of impact. I’ll be honest with you, Mr. Kevin. I don’t have the best record in this business. I have a few wins in my EXP storage, but I’ve suffered more losses, especially in tag team matches. I was far from ready for ‘Jessica Must Die’ mode and decided to lower the difficulty a little bit… That’s not discrediting the incredible talent and potential in EW. I respect the levels of my fellow students! I just needed to press the reset button and start over, new game and all. But I wasn’t going to wait until Mr. Wade Mason booked me. Rosalyn and I took the initiative, and not only did we accept the Haters’ challenge, we also won the match. Now if my fellow Geek Artist would stop being such a VEGETA… We’ll be on the same page.

She huffs a little and Kevin tilts his head.

Kevin Olson: Well… you could be the Goku to her Vegeta?

Jessica lifts her head up, surprised by his knowledge of Japanese anime, and giggles.

Jessica Sears: “ kinda like that. I’m sure Rosalyn will get herself together and calm down. She’s really smart and compassionate. She’s just stubborn and hot-headed, that’s all.

Kevin Olson: I’m a little familiar with her previous work and that’s understandable. I don’t know about her goals and aspirations, but what are yours? What are you looking to accomplish in EW?

Jessica Sears: Well… I want to unlock my true potential. I want to move beyond the level of beginner and ascend. I want to become a student my mentors will always be proud of. I want to hone my craft in the ring, improve my aerial submission hybrid skills, and become a champion of the Nerd Nation. I want to become an Empire Wrestling Champion of the voiceless, the suppressed, and the bullied. Whether I hold the Tag Team, Primetime, or Heavyweight Championship, I want to break my limits and earn my way into the Blazenwing Wrestling Federation. I won’t let my second chance fall apart. Gio DeLuca, tonight you’re going to relearn the same lesson you did on the last show. C’mon, it’s time to level up or shut up! GAME ON!

She throws the “love and peace” sign of Vash the Stampede and grins widely as the scene fades.


New Girl in Town


Maroon 5's “Can't Stop” began to blast throughout the arena speakers as Cali is seen prancing down to the ring interacting with fans before grabbing microphone as the music goes down.

Cali: How we doing tonight!?

Cali looks at her surroundings smiling from ear to ear.

Cali: My name is Cali and I am the newest member of the EW!

The crowd screams with excitement as Cali does a spin admiring her view, before bringing the microphone back to her mouth

Cali: It's good to be here!, and I have a lot to offer to the EW Roster! My spunk, charisma and my dedication to you!

She points at the EW Crowd as they cheer.

Cali: You guys are the sole reason I came to the EW! And the sole reason I will continue to fight for you each and every week I step in this ring! Everyone in the back better take note I've arrived. and I understand everything is earned, including respect so I plan to gain the respect of you and anyone who doubts my capabilities!

Cali raises both arms as the crowd cheers

Cali: I can not wait to have my very first match in the EW and show all of you what I'm made of.. I'm more than just a Barbie or a pretty face.. And I'll prove that.. It's Cali Time

The crowd cheers in excitement, as Cali drops the mic and stands on the middle rope mouthing.. “It's Cali Time” as her entrance music plays once again.


Cali Vs. Maverick Fantastico


Fantastico met Cali in the ring and the two began to circle each other. Fantastico looked for a kick but Cali dodged as she cartwheeled away. She planted her feet and caught him with a hard forearm to the face. Fantastico stumbled briefly and tried to send Cali into the ropes. He bent down for a backdrop but Cali met him with a sunset flip into a pin. One… and kickout just before two. Fantastico popped up to his feet and connected with a kick to the chest of Cali. He hit the ropes and looked for a boot to the head but Cali was able to roll out of the way. Fantastico charged again but was met with Cali jumping up and hitting The Coast (Headscissors takedown). They both got back up to their feet and stood across from each other. Cali charged and Fantastico planted his feet before hitting her with the Kamahameha (Double Palm Chest Strike). Cali rolled backwards and climbed to her knees. She popped up to her feet and was hit with a running neckbreaker. Fantastico pulled Cali to her feet and sent her into the ropes but she returned with the 657 (Flipping Clothesline). Cali kipped up to her feet as Fantastico started to stagger to his. He was up and turned right into Cali’s Straight From Cali (Spinning Kick/Mick Kick). She covered as she hooked a leg. One… two… three!

WINNER: Cali, via pinfall 8:41

Cali celebrated in the ring before jumping out and high fived a few fans.


Earning My Wings


We cut backstage where Kevin Olson finds “The Adorkable Angel” Azurine Vebbins prior to her match against the self-proclaimed “Reflection of Perfection” Cody Williams. She appears to be even more bubbly than usual given recent personal events. Olson believes this might be the best time to ask some pertinent questions since Vebbins’ answers will be somewhat cogent. Translations have been placed in parentheses in order to prevent anything to be lost in translation.

Kevin Olson: Good evening, Azurine. Tonight, you will be competing against Cody Williams, a goal-oriented go-getter who believes he’s “God’s Gift to Professional Wrestling.” Given that you’ve probably broken a resolution or two since New Year’s Day, have you decided what you want to accomplish?

Azurine Vebbins: Kay-vin, I wan-ta take what-ay-voi stips ah nay-did ta bay-come a Bay-Dubya-Eff su-poi-stah. How-ay-voi, I cannot in good con-shints chase af-toi da Primetime Cham-pay-un-ship. Dat’s my blestie Casey’s huntin’ trophy and I doant want ta my hayd ta bay a trophy on hoi man-tul.

(Kevin, I want to take whatever steps are needed to become a BWF superstar. However, I cannot in good conscience chase after the Primetime Championship. That’s my blestie Casey’s hunting trophy and I don’t want my head to be a trophy on her mantle.)

Kevin Olson: So, what you’re saying is just like the lyrics in your theme song “Problem”…“head in the clouds/no weight on my shoulders,” you want to transcend this level of competition without the burden of backstabbing your best friend and earning a championship before you’re called up?

Azurine Vebbins: I’d love ta oin a waist halo, Kay-vin, but it’s not what my hot’s coi-rint-lay sayt on. My hot wants ta poi-foam in da rin’, give my fans plin-tay ta smile a-bowt, and den hayd home in a nice dris waitin’ ta grayt my gaw-jus goil-fraynd when she walks thru da do’. She’s mit my pay-rints, I mit hoi ma-thoi…

(I’d love to earn a waist halo, Kevin, but it’s not what my heart’s currently set on. My heart wants to perform in the ring, give my fans plenty to smile about, and then head home in a nice dress waiting to greet my gorgeous girlfriend when she walks through the door. She’s met my parents, I met her mother…)

Kevin Olson: How is any of this relevant, Azurine?

Azurine Vebbins: When I was pind by Casey and lost owt on bay-comin’ da new Primetime Cham-pay-un, I nay-did somethin’ oh-ah someone ta ignite a pash-un inside me. I bown-st back a-gin-st Bailey bay-cos I fownt da ig-ni-shun switch when my goil-fraynd Alexa toint me on and made me ray-lize I am a fuh-lay flay-sht owt woman. Doant woi-ray sin-soz, I’m goin’ ta ray-main ma-dist and hum-bull bay-cos someone in da Em-pi-ah has ta. Once I dis-cuv-oid my pash-un, I knew I kood-int take away Casey’s. Plus, da sil-voi linin’ in dis sin-ay-ray-o is dat I oint my win’s bay-fa I oint my waist halo.

(When I was pinned by Casey and lost out on becoming the new Primetime Champion, I needed something or someone to ignite a passion inside me. I bounced back against Bailey because I found the ignition switch when my girlfriend Alexa turned me on and made me realize I am a fully fleshed-out woman. Don’t worry censors, I’m going to remain modest and humble because someone in the Empire has to. Once I discovered my passion, I knew I couldn’t take away Casey’s. Plus, the silver lining in this scenario is that I earned my wings before I earned my waist halo.)

Kevin Olson: But hypothetically, let’s say your call to BWF gets expedited and you’re facing “The One-Woman Army” F.M. Young for the Sovereign Championship. Can you honestly look me in the eye and say you wouldn’t just surrender right then and there or lay down for her? Wouldn’t it be better to have the practice of securing championship gold here in EW before scoring them in BWF?

Azurine Vebbins: Kay-vin, I can look ya in da eye and say dat bein’ a rayd-hayd…I’m too stuh-boin and my goil-fraynd’s too com-pit-i-tif fa hoi ta allow me ta soi-rin-doi oh-ah just lay down. She and I wood bay pra-fi-shun-uls. Af-toi all, deyr’s plin-tay of time at home when I can tap owt ta da plez-shoo-ah. If anythin’… I might try ta oin da EW Cham-pay-un-ship pra-poi, but dat’s way down da road. Da sil-voi linin’ deyr wood bay dat I’d bay hayl-pin’ Casey not bay “grey”-day wit gold a-rownt hoi waist.

(Kevin, I can look you in the eye and say that being a redhead...I'm too stubborn and my girlfriend's too competitive for her to allow me to surrender or just lay down. She and I would be professionals. After all, there's plenty of time at home when I can tap out to the pleasure. If anything...I might try to earn the EW Championship proper, but that's way down the road. The silver lining there would be that I'd be helping Casey not be "grey"-dy with gold around her waist.)

Kevin Olson: Fair enough. You were attacked by Brianna Park during a WrestleFest IX Aftershock for daring to hold her Sovereign Championship. Have you recovered, what do you think tipped her off, and will it have any effect on your performance tonight?

Azurine Vebbins: Brianna “Nox-shush” Pox a-tack-t me at Wray-sul-fay-st Nine owt of spite and jel-a-say. As hoi poi-sin-ul plez-int pay-sint I own-lay bow my hayd ta da True Quayn of Bay-Dubya-Eff…”Da One Woman Ah-may” F.M. Young. Haphin’ day-fay-tid Pox in o-pin combat, she is da rightful Sov-rin Cham-pay-un. I haph ray-cuv-oid, thank ya. My own-lay quay-shun is why did she haphta bay sa snay-kay snake-like a-bowt it? What tipt dat nox-shush ninny-hamma off? I was day-fin-din’ its han-ah while “Da Fair-ist Mon-ach” ray-stid a tow-cht knay. As fa whey-thoi it will haph any ay-fict on my poi-foam-ince ta-nite? Not in da sligh-tist day-gray, Mis-toi Ol-sin. I’m fightin’ a man with a plan. Un-foat-chun-it-lay fa him, he did-int fac-toi in “Da Vebbins Vay-ray-a-bull,” did he?

(Brianna “Noxious” Parks attacked me at WrestleFest Nine out of spite and jealousy. As her personal pleasant peasant I only bow my head to the True Queen of BWF…”The One Woman Army” F.M. Young. Having defeated Parks in open combat, she is the rightful Sovereign Champion. I have recovered, thank you. My only question is why did she have to be so sneaky snake-like about it? What tipped that noxious Ninnyhammer off? I was defending its honor while “The Fairest Monarch” rested a torched knee. As for whether it will have any effect on my performance tonight? Not in the slightest degree, Mister Olson. I’m fighting a man with a plan. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t factor in “The Vebbins Variable,” did he?)

“The Adorkable Angel” Azurine Vebbins giggles at the play on words she made while heading to a nearby entrance ramp. Kevin Olson stands in front of a nearby video camera, completely caught off-guard as a Backstage Aide tells him…

Backstage Aide: Olson, we’re live, pal!


Rattled


Sears stood in the ring as The Haters made their way to the stage. Gio had his microphone in hand and wasted no time in speaking into it.

Gio DeLuca: You know who I am. I’m Gio DeLuca. This fella behind me is Dominic Salvatore. Together we make up The Haters. See there in the ring? That’s Jessica Sears. We hate her. She thinks she can step into EW and start runnin’ to the top. Well the top runs through us! Don’t believe it? Well we hate you too.


Jessica Sears Vs. Gio DeLuca


DeLuca began to mouth off to Sears as the bell sounded and he walked up to her. They continued to exchange words after the bell sounded. DeLuca jumped up and looked for a double axehandle smash but Sears caught him with an atomic drop. She grabbed DeLuca and connected with the Dixon Arrow (Swinging Neckbreaker). Sears quickly covered and hooked his leg. One… two and a kickout. DeLuca rolled out of the ring and fell into Salvatore and was fired up. Sears showed off for the fans as they cheered her on. DeLuca jumped to the apron and climbed back into the ring. DeLuca got behind Sears and connected with a belly to back suplex. DeLuca pulled Sears up to her feet and pulled her into a piledriver position. Sears was able to slip away and drove her knee into the gut of DeLuca before connecting with a backflip kick. She jumped to the top ropes and came flying in with the Silver Moon Shockwave (630 Cannonball Senton) and covered. One… two.. and Salvatore pulled Sears out of the ring. He started to walk away as the referee yelled at him and Sears came up and hit him with the Dixon Arrow! She climbed back into the ring and DeLuca rolled her up into a small package. One… two and a kickout! Sears grabbed DeLuca and connected with a facebuster. She ran at the ropes and hit a springboard moonsault for a cover! One… two… three!

WINNER: Jessica Sears, via pinfall 10:35

Gemma Foster: Jessica Sears just gave Gio DeLuca something else to hate!


Coming Soon to the BWF Network
Monday, February 29, 2016




Buckle Up


Silence, the maddening serenity of nothing. Derrick stands in the lounge area of the warehouse. Hand on chin, eyes fixed on an oh so interesting spot on a plain white wall. Several seconds of no motion and no sound. A technical issue? Obliviousness to the rolling camera? The first sound to grace or ears is the clicking of the tongue. Click...Clack. A slow, binary rhythm. Much similar to the ticking of a grandfather clock.

Derrick Daze: Time is a black hole that consumes energy, ambition and love. If time were a living thing besides a construct of perception, it’d be quickly vexed. Quickly vexed by every blowhard who used its namesake in a hamfisted attempt to sound cryptic.

Derrick leaves the wall he is perched against.

Derrick Daze: While I’d certainly hate to sound jaded. I can’t help but feel i’d be more entertained and more threatened if you came to me waxing iambic. At least it’d show off more effort than that lazy diatribe.

A chuckle.

Derrick Daze: But I digress. Macbeth, you appear a well read fellow. Which disappoints me that you have failed to do your homework. A modicum of research would have shown that while I am certainly among the most civil in this rag tag assortment they call a company. That I am no stranger to violence. Knock on that door, and I shall hold no qualms to open it.

Derrick Daze: In today’s culture of victimhood, many find it a startling claim that victimhood is a choice. You will find that being a victim is not a choice I will ever make. Now, if we are done with the spooky language. I certainly hope you bring something interesting to the table. The worst part about time is having someone waste yours.

Derrick Daze: In the parlance of our times. Buckle up, Buttercup.

And see the last fractions of light go by.


God’s Gift
Earlier Tonight


The scene opens up backstage where we find EW interview Kevin Olson standing in front of the Animosity backdrop. He flashes a smile of excitement at the camera and raises his microphone up to his mouth.

Kevin Olson: The internet has been buzzing the last few weeks about a big star from Japan signing with the BWF under the EW brand. And it brings me great pleasure to be standing next to that very man, who will make his debut tonight against 'The Adorkable Angel" Azurine Vebbins. Ladies and gentlemen.. 'The Reflection of Perfection' Cody Williams!

The camera pans over to the right where see Cody Williams in all of his heavenly glory. He is wearing a light gray, custom tailored suit, a lavender checkered shirt, a navy blue knit tie, a purple plaid pocket square, and light brown wing-tipped oxfords. He takes a second to soak in the moment, before removing his designer sunglasses and placing them into his coat pocket. He looks at Kevin Olson, surveying him up and down, making a scoffing noise.

Cody Williams: Nice suit. Where'd you get it? Nordstrom Rack?

Kevin Olson: Macy's. I got it at Macy's. Umm, Cody. You have made a name for yourself all over the world, and everyone wants to know why you have decided to call Empire Wrestling home.

"The Reflection of Perfection" lets out a small chuckle as he clasps his hands together.

Cody Williams: For weeks, the dirt sheets and the wrestling community has been buzzing about who it could possibly be. And on New Year's Eve, I confirmed the rumors that I have in fact signed with Empire Wrestling. I have wrestled all over the world: Canada, Mexico, Germany, The United Kingdom, and spent the majority of my career in Japan. All I kept hearing about was the BWF and how the BWF was the biggest promotion in the United States. There have been times throughout my career where there have been talks between both sides but nothing ever came of it. But then Empire Wrestling came to fruition, and became the talk of the town. I kept hearing Empire this, Empire that, and after seeing what Empire had to offer, I knew that Empire was the place to be.

Kevin Olson: A man of your caliber, a man with a career like yours, why Empire?

Cody Williams: I want to wrestle against the best. I have accomplished all there is for me to accomplish overseas, I have shared the squared circle against some of the best in the world. I needed a new challenge, I needed to set on a new frontier. I don't consider Empire a step down, it is far from it, it contains some of the best unsigned talent this profession has to offer. Some might say that I am taking a major pay cut taking this job, but do you think Cody Williams would sign for anything less than a Cody Williams caliber contract? The money is right, the fine print is right, and the opportunity is there. This is just a mere stepping stone, a formality, before I take my rightful place on the BWF roster.

'The Reflection of Perfection' adjusts his cufflinks, a smirk on his face.

Kevin Olson: You boldly predicted what you wanted to accomplish in 2016.

Cody raises his hand up and places his palm two inches from Kevin Olson's face.

Cody Williams: Boldly predicted? I wasn't sitting on cloud 9 dreaming of asinine and unrealistic goals. I WILL accomplish all of those goals because I am God's gift to professional wrestling, and the best professional wrestler walking this planet! Sign with a major company? Win the Empire Championship? Get called up to the BWF main roster? Win a BWF singles championship? I am one for four and there are 339 days left in 2016. I will accomplish all of these goals I have set out for myself. Don't believe me? Just watch!

Kevin Olson: Tonight, you make your anticipated debut against 'The Adorkable Angel' Azurine Vebbins. What is going through your mind, moments away from stepping foot in the squared circle?

Cody Williams: You know, I have never faced a woman before. In my 14+ year career, I have never had the 'privilege' of standing across a woman in the ring. But Azurine Vebbins is no woman. She and everyone else took offense to my comments about her on my BlazenBook but guess what? This is professional wrestling. This is a man's sport. If you get your feelings hurt, or can't stand the heat, then put on an apron and get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich. She is better off in the special olympics, where she will thrive as a special needs athlete. Tonight I plan on doing everyone a favor by connecting my shin to her skull, and my elbow to her jaw... And maybe then, we won't need to have subtitles every time that verbal diarrhea comes out of her mouth. Tonight... Is Cody Williams’ night, and you have the opportunity and the privilege to stand across the ring from greatness. Get ready Empire Wrestling. God's gift to professional wrestling has arrived!

'The Reflection of Perfection' Cody Williams reaches into his coat pocket and places his designer sunglasses back on. He smirks at Kevin Olson and brushes his shoulders off, patting him on the face before turning around and walking away.


Azurine Vebbins Vs. Cody Williams


Williams soaked up some jeers from the fans as he slowly made his way to the ring. Vebbins was full of energy as she tried to fire the crowd up. The match got underway as Williams connected with a forearm to the face of Vebbins. He quickly followed it up with a European uppercut that caught her in the jaw. He dropped Vebbins with a short-arm clothesline and dropped into a sleeper hold. It took Vebbins some time but she was able to get to a knee and countered into a belly to back suplex. Williams climbed up to his feet and was met with a headlock by Vebbins. Vebbins looked for a bulldog but was pushed into the corner where she got hung up between the second and top pads. Williams pulled her down into a tree of woe and began to connect with a few stomps. He drove multiple knees into her gut while she hung upside down until the referee forced a break out of the corner. Vebbins fell to the mat and rolled over to her knees and then to her feet. Williams looked for an enziguri but Vebbisn ducked under the incoming boot. She grabbed Williams from behind and connected with a reverse DDT. She tried for a cover. One… and a kickout just at two. Vebbins began to pull Williams to his feet but took an elbow to her gut, then another, and another. Williams pulled Vebbins into position and connected with the Pure Perfection (Spinning sit-out double underhook facebuster) before pulling her into a cover. One… two and a kickout by Vebbins.

Scott Parker: These two competitors going back and forth, really giving these fans a treat tonight.

Williams pulled Vebbins into a headlock as she started to stand. Vebbins spun away and quickly applied a sleeper hold that flowed into a sleeper slam. Williams staggered up to his feet and took a knee to the sternum. Vebbins delivered a second knee and looked for the superkick part of the Sweetheart Sock Hop but Williams ducked under it. Vebbins turned and was lifted up onto Williams’ shoulders as he was looking for Carpe Omnia (Fireman’s Carry popped up into roundhouse kick). Vebbins rolled off the shoulders and rolled Williams into a sunset pin. One… two and Williams kicked out and rolled forward, pinning Vebbins shoulders underneath his knees as he leaned forward. One… two… three!

WINNER: Cody Williams, via pinfall 13:22

Vebbins popped up to her feet and looked around in shock as she watched the replay on the screen. Williams smirked as he left up the ramp.

Scott Parker: Impressive debut for Williams as he’s able to pick up a victory.

Gemma Foster: I hope these two meet in the ring again.


Here to Stay


Riley hadn’t known there was an interview on, so Riley had been taking a lovely shower and walks out just as the camera’s are setting up. Only to squeak in a very un-riley fashion and slam the bathroom door shut. Jo blinks, turning around from her position admiring the very very nekkid Riley and seeing the cameras.. and a Kevin Olsen who’s trying to figure out if he’s titillated by the nekkid Riley or not.

Kevin Olson: I uh… I’m here with the Spectres, Empire Wrestlings first and currently reigning tag team champions! And who seem to be getting undressed even though we scheduled this drop by an hour ago.

Mighty Jo Young: Riley’s hibernate when they need to, and bathe in rivers and streams when they need to, Kevin. There’s just no way around it all. Circle of Life and all of that. If I had a baby lion I’d hold it up to the sun and you’d understand the whole thing.

Riley comes out dressed in dark jeans and a N7 t-shirt, no shoes and hair still wet.

Riley Rouse: My guess is, Jo made the plans, got distracted and was just coming to let me know now. Although I was being all hybernatey and majestic. On that note do we have any salmon?

Olson’s mouth hangs open but Jo steps in and wraps an arm around his, like she was a gentleman leading a Victorian lady across a dangerous open street.

Mighty Jo Young: So Kevin, what are you here to talk to us about?

Kevin Olson: You’ve been the Empire Wrestling Tag Team Champions for a while now. What’s that been like for you two?

Mighty Jo Young: It’s been a hell of a ride, Kevin. It’s my first held title in this or any federation, excluding a little local desert fed back home. I’m coming to this sport from something related, but very different, and it’s just been a blast to get to know the fans and feed off of that energy and that power they bring twice a month.

Riley Rouse: It’s a great feeling. I’ve won a few indie titles, here and there, but otherwise nothing of note. So this is really a first for both of us and I feel we’re taking this huge break and running with it, the best we can. I used to joke about being confused, as to why we ended up champions. But the simple fact is, we’re the best tag team in EW right now. Someday, we’ll be the best tag team in BWF.

Kevin Olson: So what can the fans expect next from the Spectres as a team? Got anyone you’re wanting to defend your title against?

Mighty Jo Young: Frankly, Kevin, we’re going to ride this train so far, defend this title so long that I want to see us not only be the first ever EW tag team title holders, but the longest reigning for a good long time to come!

Riley Rouse: Like I said, we’re running with it and I think we’ll keep running. Like we’re in an episode of Doctor Who. As for anyone we’d like to defend against? Well, the DesInk boy’s have taken a couple hits to their credit. So they’ve fallen a bit. If the Hater’s keep their momentum up, it might be worth it. Otherwise, the tag scene is a little thin on good challengers. Sad to say.

Kevin Olson: You’ve got some people itching for a rematch. the Freaks With Benefits want another shot at that title!

Riley Rouse: I’d say they’ll get it, their good competitors. Doesn’t mean I’m giving up my title easily, but they’ve only had the one shot so far. So why not give them another one?

Mighty Jo Young: I’d love to fight Kayla and Krista again. Anyone you can get all bloody with then go out and have a beer with is a good time. S’why I’d love to step in the ring with the Gaines boys again. As for any grumpy bastards that wanna fight us and be assholes out of the ring? Well, It’d be fun watching them lose I guess.

Kevin brings the mic back to his face, turning to look into the camera.

Kevin Olson: There we have it, ladies and gentlemen. Two competitors who aren’t planning on going anywhere, no matter what anyone says! Back to you!


Ben Macbeth Vs. Derrick Daze


Daze stood in the ring while Macbeth made his entrance. He took his time entering the ring as he tossed his jacket onto the top ropes. Daze met him in the middle of the ring as the bell sounded and they immediately locked up. Daze sent Macbeth into the ropes and ran off the opposite ropes. Macbeth springboarded off the ropes and hit a charging Daze with a hard lariat. Macbeth jumped up to his feet and hit a jumping leg drop on Daze before he could stand. Both men climbed up to their feet and Macbeth connected with a series of forearms as he grabbed the head of Daze. Daze broke away after hitting a chop to the throat of Macbeth. Daze lifted Macbeth and hit a shin breaker before dropping to the mat and applying a shin lock. Macbeth eventually reached up and was able to pull Daze into a sleeper hold and vined his legs around Daze. Daze was able to roll Macbeth onto his back. One… and Macbeth broke the hold and rolled away. Macbeth ran at the corner as Daze started to stand and ran up the second post and hit a twisting crossbody. Both men climbed back up to their feet and Macbeth hit a hard palm strike. Daze was stunned and grabbed from behind as Macbeth connected with Deepest Condolences (Rolling German Suplex). Macbeth was able to bridge into a pin attempt. One… two and a kickout by Daze. Daze used the ropes to stand and delivered a kick to the gut of Macbeth.

Gemma Foster: Daze battling back.

Daze changed and hit Macbeth with The Fall (Running Crane Kick) and pulled him into a cover. One… two and a kickout before three. Daze rolled into position and applied an armbar on Macbeth. Macbeth tried to reach out the ropes but couldn’t as Daze wrenched his arm. Macbeth started to roll and powered Daze up and dropped him back to the mat. Daze flipped Macbeth over with a monkey flip as he approached him. Daze stalked Macbeth and pulled him into position for the Collapse Generation (Dragon Clutch DDT) but Macbeth was able to reverse into a stunner. Daze was staggered and took a hard kick to the knee, a spinning back kick, a leaping knee, and then the spinning backfist to complete Toil and Trouble. Daze rolled to his knees and was hit with Macbeth’s From Parts Unknown (360 Buzzsaw Kick) and pulled into a cover. One… two… three!

WINNER: Ben Macbeth, via pinfall 14:42

Macbeth leaned into the ropes as he was announced the winner and grabbed his jacket.

Gemma Foster: Another impressive debut here tonight.

Scott Parker: Ben Macbeth says he’s here to teach EW some manners and Derrick Daze may just be the first victim of that nasty kick.


Paving the Way


"Tonight we'll run away...
Speeding faster than a midnight train.
Somewhere to such a place,
Where the stars come out to light your face."

To the rhythm of "Beam Me Up" by CAZZETTE playing through her wireless earphones, "The Bastard's Princess" Rosalyn Fernandes is throwing hard kicks at a punching bag. She's occupying one of the small training rooms of the Warehouse, completely focused on her strikes. Her platinum blonde hair is tied back in a secure ponytail, leaving little to no distractions. She begins to work on high attacks and narrows her sapphire eyes.

Rosalyn Fernandes: ...Beam me up...

Another strike, and another.

Speaking of beaming...

The Jew Blazer: How the heck does your Golduck know Hyper Beam?!

Spyke Gein: TM15, bro. GET WRECKED!

The two man-children were taking a break from Josh 'The Jew Blazer' Goldstein's training as he had mentioned his Pokemon team could destroy Spyke's and Spyke was not having that shit.

Jew Blazer: Oh this is grade A bobbymeseh!

Spyke Gein: Aaaand that's all she wrote. Come on, I want 50 burgers then we're gonna spar.

Josh groans and starts doing his assigned exercise. He was very thin and lean but there was starting to be a trace or two of muscle on that bony body. Josh looks over at Rosalyn but Spyke snaps several times.

Spyke Gein: Focus.

The spontaneous yelling of Pokemon fanatics is slightly overheard by Rosalyn. She takes a brief glance over her shoulder at the two, in particular Josh, and sighs before she dials up the volume a bit more. She kicks the punching bag a couple more times before quickly striking it with her fists.

Spyke Gein: Yes I know she has a nice butt but only winners get to look at nice butts!

This statement causes Josh to fall flat on his face mid-burpee. A pair of the other students passing through the room chuckle at his misfortune but receive a glare from Spyke that causes them to leave very quickly. Josh scrambles to his feet to address Rosalyn.

Jew Blazer: I wasn't looking at your butt!

Spyke Gein: Was it my butt?

Jew Blazer: No one's butt!

There's an involuntary twitch from Rosalyn. Suddenly she stops attacking the punching bag, lowers the volume of the music with a finger, and turns around to face Josh and Spyke.

Rosalyn Fernandes: ...First off, I'm a married woman, happily so. Second of all, would you kindly shut up? I'm trying to focus, and I'm not trying to be rude, or a bully...

There is no mistaking the venomous emphasis in that specific word. She shakes her head and tries to focus on the punching bag again, hitting it a couple times with right hooks.

Spyke Gein: So? People are allowed to look at married butts. You just aren't supposed to talk about it. I'm sorry Josh ever brought it up.

Jew Blazer: I didn't...

Spyke Gein: As far as being a bully goes... You should consider it. I'd start with stealing his lunch money since he's getting so chubby.

Spyke is now on the other side of the bag, pulling it out of the way whenever Rosalyn tries to hit it.

Jew Blazer: Ollie leave her alone, man... She's trying to...wait...in what universe am I 'getting chubby?'

Upon the punching bag being pulled away from her strikes, Rosalyn narrows her eyes and clenches her fists. She's clearly not amused by Spyke's inability to let her focus.

Rosalyn Fernandes: I am NOT a bully, Oliver. I already called off the match, made it "Twitter official" and everything. I'm not about to sabotage my own comeback in this business because of some punk's horrible judgment of me.

With a hand she yanks off her own earphones and takes a deep breath.

Rosalyn Fernandes: I'm just as human as anyone else. I fight, I suffer, I bleed and I cry. My past haunts me and my heart beats like a drum. I'm not a fucking bully, nor will I ever be, so do me a god damned favor and leave me ALONE!

The other students are shaken up by Darling's daughter's rising anger. They look on in complete shock and horror. Spyke releases the bag and unleashes his famous roundhouse kick on it, causing it to violently sway back and forth between him and Rosalyn.

Spyke Gein: You're so worried about what others think of you and so paranoid about this 'comeback' fizzling out before it even starts. I may not be an official 'trainer' here but I have a piece of advice. Chill the hell out. Play a video game, go see a movie. You're already putting in the work and management will notice if you keep it up... But they aren't going to hand someone a roster spot if they buckle under their own pressure before any real pressure has been applied to them and--

Jew Blazer: I'm sorry I called you a bully...

Josh seems genuine and honest as its all he is capable of. It's probably why he made such an awful lawyer. Rosalyn's eyes widen for a brief period of time. She was nearly unfazed by Spyke's demonstration of his roundhouse kick, almost ice cold to his constructive criticism, but hearing Josh's apology... Her eyes focus and she turns around to face the former lawyer.

Rosalyn Fernandes: ...Are you serious?

Jew Blazer: I am. It clearly hurt your feelings and I'm sorry I said it.

Spyke Gein: That's the problem with you kids with your Twittles and your Blazenbooks... You forget there are real people on the other side.

Jew Blazer: Ollie I'm like 5 years older than you.

Spyke Gein: And yet you work for me. That'll show you!

Jew Blazer: That's because you got me fired from my last job.

Spyke Gein: Shit...right. Now I feel bad again.

Rosalyn blinks, not exactly sure of the story between the two, but before she can respond her phone resonates with the Main Theme of Metal Gear Solid 2. She reaches into her back pocket, pulls out her phone and answers it.

Rosalyn Fernandes: Yes...?

There's a pause as she turns away from Spyke and Josh.

Rosalyn Fernandes: You're here...? Outside?

Another pause. She presses her lips together and nods.

Rosalyn Fernandes: Yes sir. I'll meet you there.

She waits for the end call, then she pockets her phone and turns towards them, her eyes fall on Josh in particular.

Rosalyn Fernandes: ...I forgive you, and I'm sorry for being such a bitch. It's a Darling thing I guess. Or Pryce. Either way. I'll see you around.

She retrieves her belongings and dismisses herself from the training room. She seems to be in a hurry to meet someone, but who?

Jew Blazer: Okay...see you around then.

Josh looks around, noticing that Spyke was nowhere to be seen.

Jew Blazer: Ollie, where...oh god no.

Josh remembers what happened last time Spyke was reminded of Metal Gear and sighs. He'd have to look under every cardboard box in the building to get any more training done today...


Riley Rouse w/ Mighty Jo Young Vs. Krista May Williams w/ Kayla Taylor


Rouse and Williams danced around each other after the bell and Rouse connected with a kick to the shins. Williams bent down and took a kick to the chest from Rouse. Rouse looked to pull Williams in for a suplex but Williams was able to reverse into a suplex of her own. They both climbed to their feet before Williams grabbed Rouse and delivered a snapmare. She dropped down and applied a chinlock on Rouse in the middle of the ring. Rouse grabbed the hands of Williams and slowly pulled them apart and began to stand. Rouse drove her elbow into the gut of Williams before hitting a combo of an atomic drop into a clothesline. Rouse approached Williams and was pulled down with a drop toe hold. Williams floated into a single leg Boston crab. Rouse was able to power themselves to the ropes to break the hold. Rouse rolled out to the apron and stood. Williams charged and pushed Rouse off and they went falling to the outside near the ramp. Young checked on Rouse and helped them up. Rouse climbed back into the ring and locked up with Williams. Rouse was sent into the ropes and ducked under a clothesline on the return. Rouse kicked the back of Williams knee that caused her to fall backwards to the mat. Williams climbed right back up and was hit with Rouse’s Sonic Screwdriver (Spinning Neckbreaker). Rouse pulled Williams into a cover. One… two and Williams got her leg on the ropes to break.

Scott Parker: Great ring awareness there by Krista.

Rouse started to pull Williams up but was speared into the corner. Williams drove her knee into the gut of Rouse before lifting them to the top rope. Williams jumped up and brought Rouse down with a frakensteiner. Rouse stumbled up and was hit by Williams’ Last Breath (Swinging Inverted DDT). Williams went into a cover as she hooked Rouse’s leg. One… two and a kickout. Williams took a few steps back as Rouse was slow to her feet. Rouse popped up and looked for the Bored Now (Trouble in Paradise) but Williams ducked under it. Rouse staggered to a knee and Williams hit the Season Ender (Shining Wizard) and covered. One… two… three!

WINNER: Krista May Williams, via pinfall 13:39

Gemma Foster: Krista just gave Riley her first loss here in EW!

Scott Parker: That gives the Freaks with Benefits with a solo win over a member of the Spectres.

Kayla Taylor rolled into the ring and hugged Williams as Rouse rolled out of the ring. They were handed their Tag Team Championship from Young as the duo made their way up the ramp. Taylor and Williams pointed up to the champs and called for the belts.


Deserving


Camera opens to Ursula - who is sitting on a bench in the locker rooms. She’s preparing for her match coming up shortly.

Kevin Olson: Miss Areano? I was wondering if we could get your take on a couple of things?

Ursula agrees to answer Kevin's questions. She stands up from the bench and walks over to Kevin who is in camera eye view.

Kevin Olson: Okay! Ursula Areano everyone around the world witnessed you pinning the current Primetime champion last week. Could you tell us the thoughts going through your head?

Ursula begins to smile, shortly after she begins to speak.

Ursula: I told everyone again and again what would happen. I even told Casey that I was going to beat her. But, she didn't believe she thought she was going to come out on top. But I put her down! I told her it will only be us in this match. I said multiple times that this match will be one-on-one and there was no way she was going to win. Which I proved when we faced off.

Kevin Olson: One would assume you’re staking your claim for a title shot?

Ursula gives Kevin a serious look.

Ursula: Well of course! Everyone knew I was going to win the title in the first. I was right there and it was taking away from me. If Casey Grey thought it was over between us she had another thing coming. I will keep coming after her until I get a shot at that Primetime title. It is clear that Wade Mason should give me a shot at that said title. I beat the Primetime champion last week and tonight I will come out on the winning side once more, Count On That!

Ursula begins to exit the scene as the screen fades to black.


Greatest
Earlier Tonight


Kevin Olson walks through the back, stopping at Casey Grey's locker room. The door is graffitied up with #alwaysbetongrey and #greysanatomy, and underneath it "Casey Grey's locker room. Greatest Ever EW Primetime Champion" all written with black permanent marker. Kevin Olson shakes his head as the cameraman laughs.

Cameraman: Mason's going to have kittens.

Kevin Olson: Probably. Girl's certainly not afraid of marking her territory.

Kevin knocks on the door, and a few moments later, Casey opens it. She is already in her wrestling gear with the Primetime belt in her hands. She transfers it to her shoulder.

Casey Grey: Mr. Olson. What can I do for you?

Kevin Olson: Well, I'm here for your interview. Is this a bad time?

Casey Grey: No, not at all. Shoot.

Casey leans against the door, crossing her arms.

Kevin Olson: Casey, all of the fans are curious about your feelings regarding Ursula Areano handing you your first loss in the EW?

Casey Grey: My feelings? I don't know what you want, Kevin. Am I supposed to have feelings about it? What should they be? I lost a match. It's not the end of the world and it won't be the last time that it happens. I should have been more focused, I wasn't. It won't happen again. As far as Ursula goes, I don't have any feelings about her either. She won the match two weeks ago. She's a great wrestler. Dad told me so. If I'd taken his advice instead of...wait, what are we talking about again?

Kevin Olson: I think I have enough there, Casey. Next question. Tonight you team up with The Notch to take on Billy Way and Ursula Areano, a woman who wants nothing more than that belt you have. Truth be told, she's not the only one. What do you have to say about that?

Casey Grey: Well, first of all, I'm very excited to be in a match tonight with The Notch as my partner. He's a great competitor and has probably forgotten more about being a wrestler than I know, so yeah, I like our chances tonight. And as far as my Primetime belt is concerned, a lot of people want a lot of things, Kevin. Many here want a shot at this. There's a line forming, and all they have to do is stand in it. Unfortunately for them, that line starts with Ursula. I ain't backing down from nobody, but she's first. Boy is she first.

Kevin brings the mic back to his lips to say something else.

Casey Grey: I'm done.

Casey slams the door on Kevin.

Fade to black.

The Notch & Casey Grey Vs. Billy Way & Ursula Areano


Notch and Way were the first to step into the ring and they began to exchange blows before the bell even sounded. Notch tackled Way to the mat and began to strike with right hands. Way rolled Notch away and climbed to his feet. Notch charged but was taken down with a spinebuster. Way tagged out to Areano and she jumped into the ring. Notch ducked an incoming clothesline from Areano and went chasing after Way. Notch went to whip Way into the ropes but it was reversed and Grey tagged herself in. Notch and Way’s fight spilled to the outside as Grey grabbed Areano with an hammerlock. Areano reached back with her free hand and was able to snapmare Grey forward. Grey popped right back up to her feet and caught a charging Areano with Your Fear (Black Hole Slam). On the outside of the ring, Notch backdropped Way onto the announce table.

Gemma Foster: Look out!

In the ring, Areano had started to regain control as she slowed the match down with a few holds on Grey. Areano tried to apply the Crossing the Border (Crossface) but Grey rolled away and made a tag to Notch. Notch entered and hit Areano with a bulldog. He looked for the West Sider (Worm - Spelled NOTCH with leg drop) but Areano rolled out of the way and tagged out to Way. Way looked for the Billion Dollar Kick (Roundhouse Kick) but Notch ducked and looked for a school boy pin. One… two and a kickout. Notch readied as Way was slow to his feet but became distracted as Ben Macbeth appeared on the stage.

Scott Parker: What is Ben Macbeth doing out here?

Notch looked up the ramp as Macbeth made his way to the ring. He pointed behind Notch and Notch turned right into Way’s Billion Dollar Kick! Grey jumped into the ring to try and stop Way’s pin attempt but Areano speared her to the mat and they rolled out of the ring. One… two… three!

WINNERS: Billy Way & Ursula Areano, via pinfall 12:08

Grey lifted Areano up on the outside of the ring for the Racklash (Rack Attack) but Areano got free and made a break for it up the ramp. Way stood over Notch as Macbeth stood at ringside just watching on.

Gemma Foster: I don’t think Ben was here for Notch.

Macbeth jumped onto the apron and he and Way had a stare down as we faded out.
