Episode #60 - December 5, 2020
Alicia Monroe Vs. AJ Jenkynx
Gemma Foster: This could be a big match for AJ Jenkynx. He recently defeated Paul Morgan and if he could pull together a win against the first National Champion, he’d be looking good.
Scott Parker: Alicia Monroe is ready for a fight though. She’s no doubtedly wanting to get a rematch for that championship soon. She’ll need a win tonight to get there.
The show kicked off with a highly athletic match as Jenkynx and Monroe exchanged armdrags and AJ flipped around the ring. Monroe hit a big fisherman suplex into a bridging pin for two. She took control of the match at that point. AJ appeared to be shaken up after a springboard enziguri connected with the side of his head. Monroe stayed on him but he kept kicking out. Monroe hit her Phoenix Dive (Swanton Bomb) and was fired up. She started to pull Jenkynx up and he countered into a small package for two. A buzzsaw kick to the head got AJ back into the match before he delivered I’m Deadlier (Killswitch) and picked up a victory.
WINNER: AJ Jenkynx via pinfall @ 8:24
Gemma Foster: Big win for AJ here tonight. Don’t look now but he’s got himself a little streak going.
PAST
We cut to backstage where we find The Kingslayers Junji Buranku and Mr. Fixit approaching a door, stepping over the unconscious form of a backstage worker they’d beaten up. Junji still has the red necktie of Daniel Daemon loosely tied around his neck as if it is a trophy. Junji smiles at the door, the name ‘THE KINGSLAYERS’ emblazoned on the front.
Junji Buranku: Well, big guy. Looks like we are finally getting the respect we deserve. A little bit of strong-arming and a few well placed threats and boom. We finally get our own dressing room. I’m thinking I can get an inflatable mattress for groupies because quite frankly without a dickhead around here to supervise us I’m gonna get ALL kinds of weird.
Mr. Fixit: Just warn me in advance. And DO clean up after yourself.
Junji Buranku: Of course, buddy! Now come on, we’ve got some decorating to do.
Junji opens the door and inside there is a couch, a make-up mirror and chair, a few lockers, and a coat stand which seemed to already have a jacket hanging up on it. Junji looks at Fixit then back at the jacket. Fixit takes the jacket off of the stand.
Junji Buranku: Has someone else already been in our private room? This will not do. Someone needs to be kicked over this.
Mr. Fixit: Lad… this is a pretty big suit jacket. Seems to be part of a bespoke suit. For someone pretty tall.
There is a moment of silence as realization sinks in.
Junji Buranku: We uh...we can redecorate later. Let’s go grab a bite from catering.
Gio DeLuca Vs. Paul Morgan
Morgan awaited DeLuca in the ring. DeLuca cut a promo on his way down saying that Morgan was a “wannabe biker boy” and “nothing but a punk bitch”. DeLuca climbed into the ring and as soon as the bell rang, Morgan dropped him with a big boot to the face. Morgan started to hammer DeLuca with clubbing blows as he pulled him up. DeLuca tried to fight back but was tossed into the corner like a ragdoll. Morgan charged but ran into a knee as DeLuca got one up in his face. DeLuca looked for a running shoulder tackle as he came off the ropes but was dropped with a clothesline. Morgan lifted DeLuca up and delivered the Accelerated Pain (kinniku buster) and covered for a pin.
WINNER: Paul Morgan via pinfall @ 4:18
Dokueki Vs. Griffin Hawkins
The next match was a battle of two very different styles. Hawkins kept trying to pick up the pace of the match but Dokueki would hit him with a hard strike and then a suplex. Dokueki slowed things down with abdominal stretches and hard strikes to the ribs. Dokueki had a nice sequence that she tried to end the match with after a big German suplex and rolled Hawkins up for a pin but he was able to kick out. Dokueki started to set up for a piledriver but Hawkins countered with a backdrop and started to turn the match in his favor as the fans cheered him on. A few quick strikes and a big enziguri had Dokueki backed into the corner. A big running knee strike to the head backed her out of the corner and she fell to the mat. Hawkins went to the top and hit his Stage Dive (Legdrop) and covered for two. Hawkins started to climb back up to the top rope but Dokueki was able to get up and push a leg off the ropes. She climbed up and hit Hawkins with a big superplex off the top rope and rolled into a two count. She sat back and let Hawkins get to his feet and looked for a clawslam but Hawkins hit her with a kick to the gut and set up the Seventh Star (Cross Rhodes). He connected as the fans popped for him but they were just as shocked as Dokueki kicked out of a cover. Hawkins quickly pulled Dokueki up but was pulled down into a small package but he kicked out. Hawkins popped up to his feet and looked for another Seventh Star but Dokueki spun him around and took him down with a backslide pin and was able to barely get the three count pin.
WINNER: Dokueki via pinfall @ 13:09
Scott Parker: Dokueki is able to just pull out a win in a great match, Gemma.
Gemma Foster: I’d love to see either of these two take on Noavrra for that National Championship. That would be one hell of a match.
Dokueki and Hawkins met in the middle of the ring and took a moment to shake hands out of respect before we cut away.
PRESENT AND FUTURE
Junji Buranku: I mean… I’m not even really on a diet or anything this is mostly just from working out.
A masked Junji is displaying his abs to the similarly masked woman working at catering who seems to just be trying to do her job. Mr. Fixit is consuming a plate of chicken parmesan from a safe distance as Junni continues to try and hit on the catering lady.
Junji Buranku: We recently changed our team name but once a Kinglsayers shirt gets released I can personally make sure you get one in your size.
Caterer: Kingslayers? Some guy was here asking about you earlier.
Junji Buranku: I mean… we are pretty popular.
Catering: He said you two would know what this was.
The female caterer takes out a broken crown and presents it to Junji. Junji blinks a few times.
Junji Buranku: Uh...no thanks. Must not be for us.
Junni is trying to hide that he’s shaken when he is approached from behind by a man with a clipboard.
Clipboard Guy: Junji Bur...Buranku?
Junji Buranku: AH! I mean….yes?
Clipboard Guy: Can you sign for this?
Junji Buranku: Uh...yeah, sure. Right! The furniture for the new dressing room, of course. Took your dang time.
Junji signs for the package and hands the pen back to the man and turns around to see the ‘delivery’ has been set up. A Funeral wreath with a banner reading ‘MEMENTO MORI’.
Junji Buranku: You uh… you posted that on his twitter, right Fixit? What does it mean?
Mr Fixit: Uh….roughly translated from Latin it means….’Never forget that you will die.’
Junji shakes his head.
Junji Buranku: No no...screw this. Someone is effing with us. We need to clear this up. Let’s head to the ring.
Fixit nods in agreement and follows as Junji heads offscreen, the camera fading on the shot of the funeral wreath...
Harper Blake Vs. Casey Grey
This match was a hard hitting bout with Blake hitting vicious kicks and Grey landing devastating chops and elbows. Blake seemed to be out to make a statement but Grey kept shutting her down every time she’d start to build up steam. The Breath Mint (Forearm Smash) from Grey had Blake off balance and stunned. Grey tried to pull her down for the Bitch Muzzle (Crossface) but Blake was able to roll through and to her feet. Blake rocked Grey with Future Sight (V-Trigger) and went to the top. She looked for DDS (Diving Double Stomp) but Grey rolled out of the way. Blake rolled forward and up to her feet but was hit with a lungblower backbreaker and Grey rolled her into the Bitch Muzzle to force a submission.
WINNER: Casey Grey via submission @ 10:33
Proposition
Backstage we got a scene with a dark room, candles lit throughout, and the laughter of Manic filling the silence. The camera turned to reveal Manic standing beside Lacy Nelson down on her knees.
Manic: You sure showed us, FM. We stood in the ring in battle this past Tuesday and you made sure that we “heard your message” after. You attacked us in an attempt to gain back our little dove. While it may have given her a lapse, we made sure to set her straight. Each day she forgets more and more of her past and only knows one thing, we love her.
Manic pet Nelson.
Manic: We have a proposition for you, FM. You want a chance to save our little dove but we want to watch you crumble. We’ve taken the little dove and now we’ll take your title. What do you say? Take on the little dove, see that she is lost to you. Once she defeats you, you give us a chance at stealing away your gold.
Nelson stares forward and is unresponsive.
Manic: We await your answer.
The laughter fills the air as we cut away.
Kamila Rose Vs. Johnny Draco
These two started off with a series of grapples to show off their ability to keep things grounded. Rose started to pick up the pace of the match as the Cub hit a series of belly to belly, German, and vertical suplexes. Draco showed off his resilience and started to power himself back into the match. After a brainbuster, he started to use his athleticism with some quick strikes. He went to the top and was able to connect with the End Game (Flying Neckbreaker) and thought he had the match won but Rose got her foot on the ropes at two. Draco started to pull Rose up and was setting up for his Regime Drop (Rock Bottom) but Rose hit a standing Rose Clipper (Spanish Fly). The fans popped as she covered and were disappointed when Draco kicked out at two. Draco slowly got to his feet and hit Rose with a thumb to the eye and got a warning from the referee. Tiffany Lynn Page jumped onto the apron and got into an argument with the referee as Draco had a chair in hand. Rose ducked an incoming shot as the chair almost hit Page but he was able to pull back just in time. Draco turned and was locked up in Rose’s Thorn (Black Widow) and he was forced to tap.
WINNER: Kamila Rose via submission @ 12:39
Tag Team Title #1 Contender Match
The 323 Vs. Social Elite
This match didn’t seem like it was going to last long as Perez and Torres of the 323 attacked Social Elite as soon as the bell rang and started to tear into them with vicious blows. Kash and Page started to work well together and were able to escape and leave the ring to regroup. As the referee tried to get either Perez or Torres out of the ring, Kash hit Perez with a pair of brass knuckles with ELITE on top of it. Torres was left in the ring as he tried to fight off Kash and Page but the numbers game turned for them quickly. Page hit her Total Knockout (Springboard Bulldog) before Kash then hit him with the Kash Flow (Codebreaker). Page and Kash both covered the big man and picked up a SHOCKING win.
WINNERS: The Social Elite (Angel Kash & Summer Page) via pinfall @ 5:53
Gemma Foster: Angel Kash is going to have a LOT to say now that the Social Elite are the top contenders to the Kingslayers’ Tag Team Titles.
SCROOGED
There is no entrance theme for The Kinglsayers as they make their way out from the back and stomp to the ring. Junji is quick to grab for a microphone and begins to speak as Fixit stands stoically with his arm folded.
Junji Buranku: Alright alright alright. This has gone far enough. Whoever out there is responsible for this prank will be dealt with in due time but I just want to make one thing VERY clear. We BROKE that old man and he is NOT coming back. Not tonight, not tomorrow, not a few months from now. There is no happy ending for the wannabe Devil. There is no ‘Ghost of Christmas Past’ to show us the error of our ways because what we did was no error. Bah fuckity Humbug, there are no Christmas miracles.
The limited crowd boos the violent duo right until the lights go out and the limited crowd releases a collective noise of awe as the image of a fire appears on the Tron. The fire spreads and seems to be forming a pattern. At first it seems like it could be a crown but as it spreads further we start to realize it’s…
A Menorah?
‘I NEED A HERO!’
Gemma Foster: What?
Scott Parker: How about a Hanukkah miracle!
The limited crowd explodes in cheer at the realization as the cover of ‘Holding Out for a Hero’ by Jonathan Young plays and the skinny Jewish Superhero emerges after 9 long months of recovery from injury.
Scott Parker: It’s Josh Goldstein! Brooklyn’s best Luchador has returned to Empire Wrestling! The Jew Blazer is back! The Blazer is back!
Gemma Foster: What is he doing here?
Scott Parker: Anyone who knows what’s what knows Josh is good friends with Daniel.
Josh Goldstein rushes the ring with a folding chair in hand and slides under the bottom rope and is quick up to his feet, the brace on his knee seemingly doing little to slow the Jewchador down. The Blazer tosses the folding chair to Fixit who catches it, only to have it Chutzpah Booted right into his face! Fixit is out cold and Junji is making a break for it up the ramp, backing away to keep his eyes on The Semitic Superman. He’s dropped the mic so we can’t hear the very unkind things he’s shouting at Josh but those unkind words stop suddenly when Junji backs into someone…
Someone REALLY tall.
The crowd cheers as the hand of Daniel Daemon grabs the necktie around the neck of Junji Buranku and begins choking Junji out with it. The Blazer uses a baseball slide dropkick to clear Fixit out of the ring, kicking him under the bottom rope. Junji flails desperately as he is choked out with the necktie before Daniel finally decides to use it to yank Junji into a goozle and chokeslams him hard on the ramp!
Gemma Foster: If you bet me a million dollars that an Empire crowd would be cheering for Daniel Daemon in 2020 I would have taken and lost that bet.
Sure enough the very limited crowd is loving this moment. Daniel makes his way to the ring, steps up to the apron and steps over the top rope. He and The Jew Blazer look at each other in silence for a few moments before Josh puts up his hand for a high five.Daniel looks at the Blazer’s elevated palm for a few moments.
Scott Parker: Will he…?
The slap of both of their hands echoes in the arena and the small crowd erupts in cheer as the Blazer does his outstretched cape pose and Daniel raises a fist standing behind him. We fade to commercial on the image of the two New York natives many thought retired standing tall in Empire Wrestling.
Extreme Division Match
Kasey Kash Vs. Austin Scott
These two men beat the hell out of each other in this bout. Weapons scattered the ring as each brought a few to the ring. Scott powerslammed Kash right onto a trash can and covered for a one count. Kash kept getting slammed and driven into the mat but kept finding a way to kick out. Scott looked for Straight Whiskey (Running Lariat) but Kash ducked it and countered into a blue thunder bomb. He covered and got one before Scott kicked out. Kash took the time to set up a table and tried to then wear out Scott with kicks and strikes. Scott started to battle back and was going to look for the Law and Order (Pumphandle Slam) through the table but Kash countered as he was lifted and hit a big DDT onto a chair! Kash pulled Scott into position and went to the corner and started to climb. Scott went after Kash and met him on the top. They battled each other with strikes and Kash hit a big top rope C4 through the table! Kash covered with an arm across the chest and picked up a win.
WINNER: Kasey Kash via pinfall @ 11:03
Kash celebrated in the ring as we got a quick shot of Tia Santos watching backstage with the Extreme Title on her shoulder.
Gemma Foster: This could be a big match for AJ Jenkynx. He recently defeated Paul Morgan and if he could pull together a win against the first National Champion, he’d be looking good.
Scott Parker: Alicia Monroe is ready for a fight though. She’s no doubtedly wanting to get a rematch for that championship soon. She’ll need a win tonight to get there.
