Animosity #14: February 9, 2016

Scott Parker: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to another edition of EW’s Animosity. We have another action packed edition lined up for you. In tonight’s main event we’ll find out who will become the number one contender to Casey Grey’s Primetime Championship.

Gemma Foster: Ursula Areano, Bailey Mayhew, and Azurine Vebbins will go at it and we’ll figure that out.

Scott Parker: We also have a couple debuts scheduled for tonight. Also, we’ll see former EW Heavyweight Champion The Notch will be taking on Ben Macbeth after an intriguing ending to Animosity 12.


Empire is Austin
Earlier Tonight


The black screen fades in as we see a man well dressed standing in front of the camera. He fixes his jacket and adjusts his shades.

Austin Boonchan: Ah, if it isn't the Animosity fans I'm speaking to right now. Delightful, I must say, to speak in front of such energy. Well, let me introduce myself to everyone of you. I'm Austin Boonchan, and some people want to know my main goal in EW here. What is my main goal?

He chuckles.

Austin Boonchan: I'm glad you asked! My main goal is to get to the top, to be the next champion, to be one of the greatest of all times in BWF history! Now tonight, I got an opponent to face that I'm well known and familiar with. Nothing special about it. You see, when I beat Adrian in my debut match in front of everyone of you, I'm going to show the BWF and the whole Empire roster that no one should mess with anyone like me. I have the guts to what it takes to be the top guy. I have the looks, the strength, and the knowledge.

Adrian, I'm going to show you why I'm just better than you. Hell, I'm gonna show everyone why I'm better than you! I will make sure Empire gets the message that Austin Boonchan is not here to play around, but to finish business!

He looks to both of his directions and goes up close to the camera.

Austin Boonchan: Remember this, people. I'm ready for anything that stands in my way, and I'll make sure to do anything I can so nothing stops me from reaching my goal.

He smiles as he backs away from the camera and adjusts his jacket and shades.

Austin Boonchan: Tonight, Empire meets the one and only, Austin Boonchan.

He winks at the camera and then walks off laughing. The camera switches back to the arena.

Scott Parker: Strong words coming from the newcomer Austin Boonchan.

Gemma Foster: Will it translate into success tonight? I know for a fact that Adrian Stasiak has been training hard all week in the Warehouse.


Austin Boonchan Vs. Adrian Stasiak


Stasiak showed off to the crowd before the match started and Boonchan made his way to the ring. As the bell sounded the two locked up and tried to gain the upperhand but were deadlocked. Boonchan was able to get Stasiak into a headlock but Stasiak drove a few elbows into Boonchan’s gut. Stasiak hit a lifting knee to Boonchan’s chest before dropping him with a neckbreaker. Stasiak pulled Boonchan up to his feet but was rocked with a headbutt. Boonchan jumped up and hit a lungblower. Boonchan looked for a cover. One… and a kickout just before two. Boonchan pulled Stasiak back up to his feet and looked to pull him into a fireman’s carry. Stasiak struggled and was able to get to his feet. Stasiak hit Boonchan with an enziguri that sent him into a flip. Stasiak jumped to the top ropes and looked for a corkscrew splash off the top ropes but missed as Boonchan rolled out of the way. Stasiak staggered towards Boonchan and was pulled into THE Piledriver (Double Underhook Piledriver). Boonchan covered as he looked Stasiak’s leg. One… two… three!

WINNER: Austin Boonchan, via pinfall 8:19


Rosalyn Fernandes Vs. Dominic Salvatore


Fernandes made her way to the ring and stretched using the ropes. Gio DeLuca and Dominic Salvatore made their way to the stage. Gio had his microphone in hand and was ready to cut a promo.

Gio DeLuca: You know exactly who I am. I’m Gio DeLuca and this fella is Dominic Salvatore. This silver spoon dame doesn’t understand what’s about to happen. You see, we are The Haters. Dominic here isn’t in a good mood. For weeks now he’s been ready to put his fist down your throat and tonight he gets to do it. Don’t think he’ll do it? He’s gonna! People think we’re here to joke around and we hate those guys. You ready, Rosie?

Salvatore climbed into the ring and Fernandes was ready to attack. Salvatore hit her with a hard right hand that dropped her to the mat but she rolled right up. She connected with a spinning backfist that just caused him to stagger. He launched back at her with a big boot. Salvatore pulled her up and tossed her across the ring with a hip toss. Fernandes rolled to her feet and dodged a few incoming blows. She hit him with a jawbreaker and he stumbled around briefly. Fernandes hit the ropes and came back with the BOOM, Double Headshot (Running Double-High Knee). She pulled Salvatore into a cover. One.. and he kicked out with power as she was pushed away a few feet. They both climbed up to their feet and she hit him with a hard backhand chop to the chest. Fernandes followed it right up with a chop to the throat before taking him down with a snapmare neckbreaker. Salvatore started to stand and Fernandes looked for the Eternal Revolution (Tornado DDT) but Salvatore reversed it into a hard spinebuster. Salvatore pulled her back up and she shocked him with the Lethal Darling Overdose (Jumping Double Knee Facebreaker) and covered. One… two… three!

WINNER: Rosalyn Fernandes, via pinfall 8:01

Gio DeLuca pounded the apron as Fernandes rolled out of the ring and made her way up the ramp in celebration.


Jacob Arc Vs. Maverick Fantastico


Fantastico took on the newcomer Arc in the ring and they locked up to kick things off. Arc opened with hard open palm strikes before jumping up and taking Fantastico down with a clothesline. Fantastico rolled up to his feet and had to duck under a step up enziguri. Fantastico dropped Arc to the mat with a jumping neckbreaker. Fantastico pulled Arc up but was quickly pulled down by his legs and Arc locked in a leg lock. Fantastico had to try and fight his way to the ropes but couldn’t quite make it. He rolled forward and sent Arc head first into the middle turnbuckle. Arc was able to stop himself and turned before charging right into Fantastico’s Kamahameha (Double Palm Chest Strike). Arc climbed back to his feet and hit Fantastico with a hard back elbow. Arc springboarded off the ropes and came flying back at Fantastico with a stiff clothesline. Fantastico rolled to his knees and took a hard kick to the chest. Arc pulled Fantastico back up and started to set up for the Event Horizon (Styles Clash) but Fantastico backdropped him. Arc climbed back to his feet and charged at Fantastico and right into the Shoryuken (Pop Up European Uppercut). Fantastico started to climb to the top ropes and Chris Vector rushed to ringside and pushed him off the top ropes to the floor below as the referee called for the bell.

WINNER: Maverick Fantastico, via disqualification 7:44

Vector jumped back to the floor and grabbed Fantastico before slamming his head off the steel steps and tossing him against the barricade.

Scott Parker: Uncalled for!

Gemma Foster: I think that Christopher Vector was holding a grudge against Fantastico for his part in stopping the attack on Gabriel Noir at Next Level Revolution.

Vector made his way up the ramp as Fantastico started to climb to his feet.


A Man of Confidence


The scene opens up backstage to a close up shot of the red and orange EW Animosity logo. The shot slowly pans out and reveals "The Reflection of Perfection" Cody Williams. He is wearing his wrestling attire of black trunks with his 'Perfection' logo on the back, black wrist tape, a black compression sleeve on his right arm, black scale texture kickpads, and his black leather biker jacket. He isn't sporting his usual smirk on his face, rather an annoyed look.

Cody Williams: You know...

He reaches up to his face and slowly removes his designer sunglasses, placing them into his jacket pocket.

Cody Williams: I find it funny how I defeated...

He cups his hands together and tilts his head to his side as he bats his eyelashes.

Cody Williams: Da a-doe-ka-buh ayn-gel Aa-zuh-ween Veh-beens.

His playful expression turns into a scowl, his nostrils flaring and his lips curling. 

Cody Williams: Yet somehow she finds herself in a match to determine the number one contender for the Primetime championship, and here I am in a match against Chris Vector, a man who should be locked up in an insane asylum, and Cali, someone who looks like they work the VIP bottle service table at the local club. These two aren't even on the same level as Cody Williams and don't deserve the honor and sure as hell don't belong in the same ring as 'The Reflection of Perfection'.

Cody lifts his right hand and extends his index finger into the air.

Cody Williams: I have to keep reminding myself that this is only temporary. That my stay in EMPIRE will be a short one. I will continue to steal the show and climb the ladder here in EMPIRE, and it won't be long before you see this pretty face on the main roster. Tonight, I will defeat Cali and Chris Vector .. And be one step closer to marking off every single one of my goals for 2016. There is no one else on this roster, the BWF roster, or any other roster in the entire world that can hold a candle to God's gift to professional wrestling. 

He reaches into his pocket and pulls out his designer sunglasses, placing them back in their rightful spot on his face.

Cody Williams: And in case you may have forgotten who I am... After tonight, you will never forget the name of Cody Williams!

"The Reflection of Perfection" grabs the lapels of his leather biker jacket and pops them up as he shrugs his trap muscles. He tips his sunglasses down the bridge of his nose, flashing his signature smile as he winks towards the camera before walking away full of confidence.


Cali Vs. Chris Vector Vs. Cody Williams


Vector shouted at Parker and Foster about how he should be EW Heavyweight Champion as he climbed into the ring.

Scott Parker: Christopher Vector wins one match and he thinks he should be the champion. I get Cody’s gripe with wanting to be in Azurine’s position since he beat her, but Chris is just off his rocker.

Gemma Foster: True, however, Azurine holds a win over Bailey Mayhew and Bailey wasn’t pinned or made to submit in the Primetime Championship match at Next Level Revolution. Notch a few more wins in your belt, kid, and the chances will come.

Williams stood back and watched as Vector viciously started to attack Cali at the sound of the bell. He assaulted her with left hands before spearing her into the corner. Vector turned and was leveled by Williams connecting with a discus lariat. Cali jumped out of the corner at Williams and landed on him with a Lou Thesz Press. She connected with a few forearms to the face before climbing to her feet. She threw her hands up for the fans and waved as they cheered. Vector came rushing over and drove his knee into her gut with a kitchen sink. Williams grabbed Vector and lifted him up with a blue thunder bomb. Both men climbed to their feet and Williams ducked a forearm from Vector and responded with a pele kick. Williams stood and fixed his hair for a moment and smirked. Cali was up and hit Williams with The Coast (Headscissors Takedown). Cali jumped back up and ran into Vector hitting a running back elbow. She hit the mat as he hit the ropes again and connected with the Go Against Me (Running Senton). He looked for a cover but was quickly pulled off by Williams. Williams lifted Vector into a suplex and dropped him onto the mat. Williams pulled him up and took him right back down with an STO backbreaker into a neckbreaker. Cali looked to connect with the Straight From Cali (Mick Kick) but Williams ducked it and hit her with Pure Perfection (Spinning Sit-Out Double Underhook Facebuster). Williams was about to cover before Vector hit him with a running big boot that send him to the mat and rolling into the corner. Vector started to pull Cali up to her feet but was pulled out of the ring by Maverick Fantastico. Fantastico tossed him into the barricade as the fans cheered on. Cali was up and turned into Williams lifting her up before he connected with Carpe Omnia (Fireman’s Carry into Roundhouse Kick to Head). He covered and hooked her legs. One… two… three!

WINNER: Cody Williams, via pinfall 10:26

Williams climbed to his feet and fell into the corner. He bent down and picked up his sunglasses before putting them on and rolling out of the ring.


|| The Tomorrow Man ||


Cut to the backstage area where we saw a scrawny young man standing by the catering table with Empire Wrestling’s senior backstage correspondent Kevin Olson.

Kevin Olson: Ladies and gentlemen I am here with award winning podcast personality Mosh XL. Welcome to Empire Wrestling Mosh.

Mosh XL: Thanks Kevin, it’s real great to be here. Y’all are doing some crazy shit here in Empire. It’s the real fucking deal.

Kevin Olson: Uh…thank you. Can I ask if there is a specific reason that you are here in New York?

Mosh XL: Yeah dude there’s a reason. I’m here to talk to Ben Macbeth.

Kevin Olson: Ben Macbeth? He is a fairly new signing. Are you sure you wouldn’t rather speak with Empire Wrestling Heavyweight Champion Billy Way or former champion The Notch.

Mosh XL: Yeah maybe, in time. But for right now I want to know more about Macbeth. This dude lit this place on fire his first night. He immediately inserted himself into the main event picture and he barely said a word.

Kevin Olson: Fair enough, well here is your opportunity - Macbeth is right over there.

The camera panned over to show Ben Macbeth sitting cross legged on a road case. Sitting next to him was his unique pocket watch. In his hand he had a leather bound notebook and he was furiously jotting down notes while intermittently referencing his watch.

Olson and Mosh made their way over to him but he barely took notice of their presence.

Kevin Olson: Mr. Macbeth, this is Mosh XL host of the Mosh Pit Wrestling Podcast. He has a few questions for you.

Macbeth didn’t look up from his notepad, he continued writing.

Mosh XL: Yeah Ben, can I call you Ben? Great. I wanted to know what exactly your deal is. Where the hell did you come from?

Still, Macbeth did not look up. He just kept writing. Mosh stared at him while Olson just stood there looking awkward.

Mosh XL: Come on my man. My listeners want to know all about you! You are the talk of Empire right now dude.

Macbeth stopped writing for a moment and a look of hope flashed across Mosh’s face. However, Macbeth just looked over at his watch and then kept writing.

Mosh XL: Not interested huh? Well I mean you can at least tell me about this thing…

Mosh reached for the pocket watch but Macbeth, with incredible speed, clutched Mosh’s wrist. Without looking up Macbeth spoke.

Ben Macbeth: Mr. XL, it is very rude to touch someone else’s belongings without their permission. Furthermore, it is equally as rude to interrupt someone when they are clearly preoccupied with a greater task.

Macbeth released Mosh’s arm.

Ben Macbeth: I would kindly ask that you go through the proper channels in order to secure an interview with me. Until then, do not come near me or I will introduce your face, quite forcibly, to your lap.

Macbeth stood, collected his things, and then got in Mosh’s face.

Ben Macbeth: The Tomorrow Man bids you adieu.

With that Macbeth walked out of frame, leaving Mosh and Olson dumbfounded.

Kevin Olson: Well there you have it. He doesn’t much care for journalists.

Mosh XL: Oh I’ll get my interview. The world needs to know about ‘The Tomorrow Man’ and I am just the guy to tell his story.

The camera closed in on Mosh’s smug expression before the scene faded.


Freaks with Benefits Vs. Sin City Savages [Anderson/Thompson]


Taylor and Anderson were in the ring first for their teams as the bell signaled the start of the match. Anderson grabbed Taylor and easily tossed her onto his shoulder and down into a powerslam to kick things off. She popped to her feet and had to duck an incoming elbow smash. She kicked the back of his knee and then dropped him with a DDT as she pulled him in. Taylor made a tag to Williams and she jumped into the ring. Anderson climbed to his feet and took a dropkick to the knee before rolling to his corner and making a tag. Thompson hit a running shoulder block to Williams. He pulled her back up to her feet and lifted her up and down with an underhook suplex. Williams staggered to her feet and caught him with an elbow smashed as he charged at her. Williams followed it up with a Russian legsweep. Williams tagged out to Taylor who jumped into the ring. Anderson climbed into the ring and pushed past the referee. He dropped Taylor with a clothesline but then took a dropkick to the knee from Williams. Taylor was up and hit him with the Stamp It Out (Avada Kedavra). Thompson charged and was hit with a backdrop from both Williams and Taylor. He rolled to his knees and was hit with the Plan A/Season Ender (Double Shining Wizard). Taylor dropped into a cover. One… two… three!

WINNERS: Freaks With Benefits, via pinfall 7:06


Ben Macbeth Vs. The Notch


Notch and Macbeth circled each other as the match was set to begin. Notch threw a kick at Macbeth softly which was easily dodged. They danced around each other before Macbeth charged out of nowhere and connected with a clothesline that dropped both men. They climbed to their feet and Macbeth came leaping with a flying forearm smash. He pulled Notch to his feet and landed a series of knees to Notch’s gut. Notch blocked the fifth incoming knee and dumped Macbeth over his back to the mat. Notch dropped and applied a seated sleeperhold. Notch released and drove his elbow into the shoulder of Macbeth before reapplying the sleeperhold. Macbeth started to roll to his side and was able to get to a knee. He pushed backwards and drove Notch back first into the corner. Macbeth hit a combo of four palm strikes to Notch before hitting him with an uppercut. Notch started to stagger forward and was grabbed from behind and hit with a tiger suplex. Macbeth bridged and looked for a pin attempt. One… two and a kickout. Notch rolled up to his feet and caught Macbeth with a hard kick to the right shin. He flipped Macbeth down with a hip toss. Notch pulled Macbeth up and was in perfect position before hitting an one handed bulldog. Notch jumped to his feet before hitting the West Sider (WORM- Spelled NOTCH with a legdrop). Notch hooked a leg as he looked for a pin. One… two and a kickout by Macbeth. Both men got to their feet and slowly exchange right hands. Macbeth started to get some energy and hit a series of right hands. He ducked a blow from Notch and connected with the Deepest Condolences (Rolling German Suplex). Both men climbed up to their feet and Notch hit Macbeth with a headbutt. Notch looked for a clothesline but Macbeth ducked under it. Notch turned quickly and landed a kick to the gut. He looked for the Sugar Notch (X-Factor) but Macbeth pushed him away. Notch took a hard kick to his knees as Macbeth connected with the Toil & Trouble (Combo; Knee kicks, Spinning back kick, Leaping kick, Spinning backfist). Notch fell to his knees before taking the From Parts Unknown (360 Buzzsaw Kick) from Macbeth. Macbeth pulled Notch into a cover. One… two… three!

WINNER: Ben Macbeth, via pinfall 13:53

Scott Parker: A big victory for Ben Macbeth!

Gemma Foster: Ben is looking to make waves here in EW and he’s off to a good start. He just defeated the former EW Heavyweight Champion.


EW PRIMETIME CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDERSHIP
Bailey Mayhew Vs. Ursula Areano Vs. Azurine Vebbins


Scott Parker: One of these three competitors will go on to face Casey Grey.

Gemma Foster: Each one has a claim for being next and this is the perfect way to settle it.

Vebbins and Areano were the first to come to blows as Areano quickly with a combo of three European uppercuts. Areano looked for a springboard clothesline off the ropes but Vebbins ducked under her and Areano landed on her feet. Mayhew rocked Areano with an enziguri as she landed and caused her to roll out of the ring. Mayhew was hit by an open palm strike from Vebbins before being locked into a sleeper hold. Mayhew was able to roll forward and break the hold. Mayhew grabbed Vebbins and connected with a belly to back suplex as Areano rolled into the ring. Areano charged and hit Mayhew with a running dropkick. Mayhew stood and was taken right back down with a swinging neckbreaker. Areano stood beside her and connected with a standing moonsault and hooked a leg. One… and broken up by Vebbins. Vebbins looked for a release German suplex on Areano but she flipped backwards and landed on her feet. Areano connected with a dropkick to the back of Vebbins and sent her through the second ropes to the floor. Mayhew was back to her feet and locked up with Areano. Mayhew drove a knee into the gut of Areano before connecting with the Wings of a Butterfly (Butterfly Suplex). Mayhew pulled Areano into a cover. One… two and a kickout. Areano got back up to her feet and was pulled into the center of the ring. Mayhew looked for the Into the Sunset (Asai DDT) but her feet landed on the shoulders of Vebbins as she flipped behind Areano. Areano and Vebbins dropped Mayhew with a flapjack/cutter combo.

Gemma Foster: What a move!

Vebbins and Areano got back to their feet and Vebbins delivered a northern lights suplex as they grappled. Vebbins pulled Areano to her feet and started to set up for the Pearly Gatekeeper (Dragon Suplex to Double-Handed Jawbreaker) but Areano fought out. Mayhew was back to her feet and hit Areano with Brain Damage (Death Blow). Vebbins drove two knees into the sternum of Mayhew that was followed by a superkick.

Vebbins tried to reach out for the ropes but had to submit.

WINNER: Ursula Areano, via submission 13:44

Areano jumped to her feet and celebrated for a few moments in the ring before pumping her fist and jumping out of the ring.

Scott Parker: Ursula Areano will meet Casey Grey for the Primetime Championship!

Gemma Foster: This is exactly what Ursula wanted to have happen. She’s going to bring everything she has to face Casey.

We get a final shot of Mayhew and Vebbins coming to as we fade away on Areano on the ramp.
