Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Episode X
The show kicks off with Godsmack's "The Enemy" as Luke Mathews makes his way to the ring.
Luke Mathews: Ladies and gentlemen, in two weeks time, AXW will be will be having its second Supershow, which will be live from Toronto! And of course, I come here tonight bearing news regarding that event. At the AXW Supershow we will finally crown a NEW AXW Women's Champion! The participants in that match will be decided tonight, as Caitlin Shay will take on Cassie Cassidy, Hailey Harris will take on Olya Oglovska, and Stella Quinn will take on the former champ, Sierra Starr.
The cameras pan across the crowd, showing a few different signs of who the fans predict will be the next champion.
Luke Mathews: The AXW Tag Team Championships will be decided at the Supershow as the Cross City Stallions will defend their titles against Hand of Blood, and unlike their previous encounter, there will be a decisive winner by either pinfall or submission, there will be NO Disqualifications!
The crowd cheers, expecting an awesome battle between the two teams.
Luke Mathews: David Slayton has earned himself a shot at the Adrenaline Championship against the reigning champion Bobo Sweetcakes, that match will also take place at the Supershow. And that brings us to the AXW Championship. Crest Silver has been hunting for the title ever since the first Supershow, and in two weeks he will get his opportunity. Justin Wyndham vs. Crest Silver for the AXW Championship will of course be the AXW Supershow Main Event, but for tonight's Main Event, we're gonna have a match that was supposed to take place a number of weeks ago, but never got underway. Crest Silver and Crash Jackson, collectively referring to themselves as The Church, will take on the team of the AXW Champion Justin Wyndham and his partner, the man referring to himself as "Mr. AXW," Magnum Wolf! Hopefully the latter team can put any and all differences aside for tonight. That is all for now, expect more matches to be announced within the next two weeks.
With Luke's departure from the ring, we head into the first match.
AXW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT
SEMI-FINALS
Caitlin Shay vs. Cassie Cassidy
You’d think the crowd would be torn in deciding who to root for in this one, but it seemed the crowd warmed up a bit to Cassidy, if by her pure wrestling skill alone, versus the recent smarmy actions of one Caitlin Shay. At the start of the match, Shay let her mouth get the better of her, talking smack to Cassidy, who fired back with some stinging chops and some battering knees to the gut. Shay would find herself on the end of several early nearfalls as Cassidy would put on a wrestling clinic with a piledriver, a snap powerslam, and a bruising Samoan drop, but Shay would be resourceful, hitting a mule kick which slowed down the bigger Cassidy, before hitting a swinging neckbreaker. Caitlin would pour on the offense, hitting a diving front dropkick and even a snap powerslam of her own, but neither would put Cassidy away. Caitlin would hit a forearm smash on Cassidy in the corner, back up, and try for another, only to be caught and spiked into the mat with a one armed spinebuster. Cassidy would show her mean streak, hitting a surfboard curb stomp, and then hitting a delayed brainbuster, but Shay would stay in the match. The two ladies would end up exchanging chops, and once again, Shay would hit a questionably low kick, before hitting a snap implant DDT on Cassidy, but this would only get another long two count. Shay would go up top for a frogsplash, only to crash and burn, Cassidy rolling out of the way. Cassie would hit The Crowning Achievement, dropping Caitlin for the 1-2-3 and advancing into the finals.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner..”THE QUEEN” CASSIE CASSIDY!!
Post Match: To a mixed reaction, Cassidy celebrates her victory over the fallen Caitlin Shay, even queen waving to the crowd before heading to the back.
We open with a shot of an arcade. The scene dissolves to the inside, where Jimmy Reynolds and Timmy McDermott are enjoying a nice game of pinball. Timmy is enjoying himself as Jimmy turns to the camera. Both men are clad in their all too familiar Member’s Only jackets and Bugle Boy jeans, both with British Knight sneakers on their feet and their Cory Hart inspired sunglasses. Jimmy is wearing a retro style “When Push Comes To Shove” t-shirt.
Jimmy Reynolds: “Push fanatics all over the globe, there’s a song that tells of a deaf, dumb, blind kid who is a pinball wizard, but you know something, Armada, you must be the ones who are deaf, dumb, and blind if you think for one second that our first match is going to dictate the rest of this series. Oh no, because Timmy and I, we may not be pinball wizards.”
Timmy steps away from the pinball machine, clad in the same t-shirt as his tag partner. He pulls his shades off and gives the camera a confident smirk.
Timmy McDermott: “We’re wrestling wizards, and tonight, Armada, we’re going to dig down deep, harness and power of Greyskull, and go HE-MAN on your asses!”
Jimmy Reynolds: “That’s right, because when push comes to shove, you punks might have the first win, but together, WE HAVE THE POWWWWEEERRR!”
Timmy McDermott: “The power to win.”
And with that, Timmy returns to his game of pinball, Jimmy cracking open a can of the retro themed Pepsi (with REAL sugar) before we fade out.
SINGLES MATCH
Jason vs. Max Maximus
The battle of the two big men in their respective teams was just as intense as one might expect. The two would collide in a flurry of punches, Jason getting the upper hand early, even hitting a solid powerslam for a two count. Maximus would roar back after a missed Stinger splash from Jason, hitting a big boot, followed by a Samoan drop for a two count of his own. Max would hit a powerslam, and continue pouring on the offense, hitting a brutal spear and then a full nelson slam, but nothing seemed to be putting Jason away. On the outside, Inferno and Marky would get into a heated war of words, with Inferno attacking Mustang, tossing him hard into the steel steps. Maximus would go to offer help, only to be clobbered from behind with a STIFF sickening steel chair shot to the back of the head, which would draw the DQ.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Your winner, by disqualification, MAX MAXIMUS!!
Post Match: Jason would wear out Maximus with the steel chair, as the gash in the back of his head would bleed profusely, Mustang also busted open from being nailed with the steel steps. The Hand Of Blood would then grab the cameraman and smear the blood of their fallen foes over the lens to the disgust of the capacity crowd.
We open with a shot of a posh hotel swimming pool. Early morning has come, and there doesn’t seem to be anyone there. There’s a close up of a tropical drink with a deep red umbrella in it.
Suddenly what appears to be a lobster claw swoops in, trying to pick up the glass, but it isn’t successful. This is followed by a long sigh, as a regular human hand then picks up the glass and takes a long drink, putting the glass back down.
We cut poolside, where “Lobsterman” Lenny Lazzou stands, clad in lobster print trunks, soaking up the rays and looking about as interesting as one might being a 325 pound man who wears lobster claws.
Lenny Lazzou: “Ya know something, my little lobsters, I was feeling pretty down after how things went in Crustacean Championship Wrestling. I mean, I thought I was a shoe in to be a champion, or at least the guy who bought the champion lunch, but it wasn’t to be, so I packed my bags and took a much needed vacation. Even a lobster man like me has to rest his shell now and again, sharpen his claws, that sort of thing. And then I got a call from Luke Mathews, and everything changed.”
Lenny puts on a pair of goggles, cleaning them of water and begins walking to his right.
Lenny Lazzou: “Now I’m heading to AXW to do what I do best, entertain all my little lobster friends, and hopefully be treated with a little respect, because as marine biologists will tell you, there’s nothing worse than a disrespected lobster! See you soon, land blubbers and crustaceans alike!”
Lenny then reaches the diving board and runs, jumping off with a huge cannonball splash. The camera then shows the ripples on the water, and then a pair of lobster print shorts. A lobster claw reaches in to snag them.
Lenny Lazzou: “Not again! HUM DINGA!”
And with that, the scene fades out.
AXW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT
SEMI-FINALS
Hailey Harris vs. Olya Oglovska
Harris would enter to a lot of fanfare from the capacity crowd, as they were fully behind the young energetic superstar. Olya on the other hand, due to her recent actions in a match with Briana Park, would get quite the opposite reaction. Harris would actually extend a hand to Olya, who would just smirk and pull Harris into a short arm clothesline. Stomping away at Olya, it would seem she wanted the crowd to worship her and not her opponent. Olya would hit a Sambo suplex and go for a quick cover, as that would be Olya’s plan of attack, hitting a move, like a Russian leg sweep, or a snapmare/rolling neck snap combo, and then go for a pin, but Hailey Harris built a career on being able to take punishment. As she was placed in a bear hug, Harris would fight out, lighting up the Russian with buzzsaw kicks and a spinning heel kick for a two count. A tornado DDT would soon follow, but when Harris went for Hailey’s Comet, Olya would show great agility by leaping up and hitting Harris with a belly to back suplex toss off the top rope. Olya looked pleased with her handy work and sized up Harris for a super kick. Olya would fire off the kick, Harris would duck and connect with a boot to the gut, followed by a Check This Out (Mic Check) leveling Olya. Harris would then spring into action, going up top and connecting with Hailey’s Comet (450 Splash) for the victory, advancing into the finals to a thunderous ovation!
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, HAILEY HARRIS!!!
Post Match: Harris was elated, celebrating with her fans. Slamsley McBody would meet her at the top of the ramp, as the two would embrace, before Slams raised the arm of the victor.
We open backstage, where we spot Bobo Sweetcakes, admiring the nice spread in catering, trying to choose the best cookie in a large tray of them.
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Macadamia? No. Oatmeal raisin? Hmm.
The crowd pops as David Slayton shows up behind Bobo, tapping his good friend on the shoulder.
David Slayton: “Bobo! How the hell are you, buddy?”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Oh, hi Dave.”
David Slayton: “Hi, Dave? That’s it? Come on, Bobo, what’s eating you? You haven’t returned any of my calls or texts all week!”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “It’s nothing, Dave, really.”
David Slayton: “Doesn’t sound like nothing. Come on, Boboski, hit your pal Dave with the truth, give it to me.”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Well, it’s just, I was kind of embarrassed last time we were in the same room together, and I may not look it, but I’m a bit of a wrestling historian and-“
David Slayton: “Stop right there. I know exactly where this is going. You have yourself a chat with some folks who know me, Bobo, is that? Maybe someone told you I wasn’t such a nice guy in the past. Come on, level with me.”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “It’s like I said, when you’re champion, everyone is targeting you, even your friends.”
Slayton puts an arm on the shoulder of his good friend.
David Slayton: “Listen, man, I know I don’t have a good track record with keeping friends, and yes, I’ve stabbed a lot of people in the back, but that was a long time ago, Bobo. I’ve grown up, learned a thing or two, like how you don’t get too many chances to have good friends in this business, and I consider you one of them.”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “You do?”
David Slayton: “Of course I do. Oh sure, you might snore a little while we’re on the road, sing way too many showtunes, and I’m not sure what your obsession with baked goods is all about, but you’re a quality individual, Bobo, and I’m proud to call you my friend.”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Thanks, Dave.”
David Slayton: “But there is the issue of that championship.”
Bobo sighs.
Bobo Sweetcakes: “I knew you were going to get to that.”
David Slayton: “It’s nothing personal, man. How’s about we do this, tonight, we go out on the town, grab ourselves a bite to eat, and celebrate our upcoming battle, you know, like two proud warriors.”
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Does that involve cake?”
The crowd laughs, as Slayton just shakes his head with a smirk.
David Slayton: “It wouldn’t be a Slayton-Bobo Production without it, now would it?’
Bobo Sweetcakes: “Awesome! I’ll catch up with you in a little bit, Dave. I’ve got a big decision to make right now.”
Bobo turns back to the cookies, still debating, as Slayton just stares at his friend before walking away.
David Slayton: “I’ve got some weird ass friends.”
Bobo holds up a chocolate chip cookie, seemingly satisfied with his decision, before the camera fades out.
BEST OF 5 SERIES
MATCH 2
The Push vs. The Armada
The capacity crowd was ready to go for the 2nd encounter between these two awesome tag teams. The crowd seemed pretty split down the middle at first, but the hometown team of sorts, The Push, began to get a bit more over with the crowd. Timmy McDermott would elect to go first, as would Ian Winter, as the two men bumped fists and begin circling one another before locking up. McDermott would get Winter into a headlock, using some of his classic mat wrestling skills to open the contest. Winter would try to turn it into an armlock, but McDermott would counter with one of his own, turning it into an arm drag, followed by a second, and a third, followed by a nice standing dropkick reeling Winter. Fired up, McDermott would latch onto Winter again with an arm wrench before tagging in Jimmy Reynolds who would fly in with an elbow right to the shoulder of Winter, before stinging him with chops. Winter would fire back with some of his own then hit a nice spinning heel kick for a nearfall. Winter would open his arsenal with a belly to belly suplex and then a German suplex before tagging in Kyle Thomas. Thomas would hit a series of dropkicks on Reynolds and then try for a Northern Lights suplex only for Reynolds to counter and shift down, turning it into a spiking DDT. Reynolds would tag in McDermott who would hit a spinning clothesline on Thomas before knocking Winter from the apron. A running elbow to the bridge of Kyle’s nose would knock the young man down. McDermott would scale a turnbuckle and leap off with The Best Of My Love (Superfly Splash) as the crowd would pop big for the move as McDermott would get the pin and the victory for his team, as The Push even the series at 1-1!
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners, THE PUSH!!
Post Match: The Push would celebrate with their fans to the tune of their very own made theme music “Dance Pants” to a huge ovation as they bobbed their heads and danced to the music.
We open backstage, where Hailey Harris is winding down after a hard fought battle, when all of a sudden loud clapping is heard. Harris turns and is greeted by Caitlin Shay.
Caitlin Shay: “Well, well, well, if it isn’t Ms. Determination. Tell me, how determined were you when I dropped you on your stupid head last time we were in the ring together?”
Hailey Harris: “I think the bigger question, Ms. Phone It In, is whether or not YOU were determined, you know, DETERMINED to make a fool out of yourself when you LOST in the tournament tonight.”
Caitlin Shay: “Pfft, I don’t need a tournament to prove how much better I am than you.”
Hailey Harris: “I’ll send you a postcard from the finals, bitch.”
Suddenly Sean Foster comes into view, putting an arm around Caitlin.
Sean Foster: “Listen you spot monkey for hire, I won’t sit here and allow you to talk to the fair Ms. Caitlin Shay that way.”
Caitlin Shay: “Come on, Hailey, you don’t want to face us again and LOSE do you?”
This brings in Slamsley McBody, to a nice pop from the crowd.
Slamsley McBody: “Actually WE would love to face you again, wouldn’t we Hailey?”
Hailey Harris: “I think I’d enjoy that. What do you two nitwits say we tangle again, say at the AXW Supershow? Oh wait, I'm already competing for the Women's Championship that night, unlike you.”
Caitlin Shay: “Oh please, like you even have a chance at winning.”
Slamsley McBody: “Well how about just you and me Foster, one on one at the Supershow?”
Sean Foster: “You're on.”
Slamsley McBody: “Come on, Hailey, let’s go celebrate your big win. We’ll let these two do, well, whatever it is they do.”
Hailey Harris: “Sounds good. Caitlin, what’s that on your face?”
Caitlin begins frantically rubbing her face, Sean even taking a look but finding nothing.
Hailey Harris: “Oh, that’s really just your face, isn’t it? Sorry about that.”
Slamsley McBody: “Point, Hailey.”
Slamsley and Hailey walk away, leaving Caitlin in a scowl as Sean tries to comfort her as the scene fades out.
AXW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT
SEMI-FINALS
Stella Quinn vs. Sierra Starr
The crowd was looking forward to this one, as in some ways Stella Quinn represented the Cinderella story of the tournament, while Sierra Starr came into the tournament the odds on favorite to win the whole thing. Stella would extend her hand for a shake to start the match, and Sierra would just stare at it, then Stella, before yanking her arm in for a series of clotheslines, picking up Stella each time only to knock her down again. Sierra would yell down at Stella “Come on, Cinderella, fight me!” before stomping down hard on Quinn. Sierra would yank Stella up by her hair, only to be met with a stinging enziguri from Stella which staggers Sierra back against the ropes. Sierra would charge only for Stella to duck Matrix style nailing Sierra as she turned back with a running yakuza kick. Stella would scream out “YOU WANNA FIGHT, BITCH? YOU GOT IT!” Stella would nail Sierra with a sit down jawbreaker, followed by a spinning heel kick for a two count. Stella would continue putting pressure on Sierra with a tiger suplex, almost getting the win with a senton bomb. Stella would try for the Paparazzi Killer, only for the strength of Sierra Starr to shine through as she would lift Stella up into a fireman’s carry, dropping her down hard on her knees. Sierra would continue clubbing away at the ribs of Stella, even hitting a series of backbreakers before delivering a World’s Strongest Slam style front powerslam which nearly got her the victory. Sierra would size up her opponent and look to hit Starry Knight (bicycle kick) only for Stella to duck under and connect with a STIFF super kick to a turning Sierra, following onto Starr in hopes of getting the pin, but somehow Starr would continue on. Stella would head up top, perched on the top rope and look for a missile front dropkick, but Sierra would counter, Quinn hitting her head hard on the mat, as Starr would cinch in her Queen Of Mean sharpshooter, as Stella would try to reach the ropes, and it seemed she would, only for Starr to pull her dead center of the ring and pull back with more power as Stella would have no choice but to tap.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, by submission, SIERRA STARR!
Post Match: Wiping the sweat from her face, Sierra would take one last look at Stella Quinn before exiting the ring and throwing her arms up in the air in victory, laughing and getting psyched over the fact she made it to the finals.
We cut backstage, where Craig Brooks is standing by with Ryan Reviere and Jean-Pierre Fronteac, The French Revolution.
Craig Brooks: “Gentlemen, we all saw the heinous attack you committed against the Yunanagi Twins, placing your flags over them, but the question is, why did you do it?”
Ryan Reviere: “As if we owe a stupid American like you, CRAIG BROOKS, a reason for why we do anything around here. The fact is, our lineage allows us certain benefits, like the termination of any team we find incapable of competing against us.”
JPF: “What we did is show the world what will happen if any American team that is responsible for the downfall of civilization dares cross paths with The French Revolution. Let this be a-“
JPF is cut off by the attacking Yuganagi Twins, who brawl with The French Revolution as security tries to break up the two teams.
MAIN EVENT
TAG TEAM MATCH
The Church vs. Justin Wyndham & Magnum Wolf
It was decided that Crash Jackson starts the match off for the Church. Magnum Wolf was already on the apron before his team could even strategize. Jackson started the match in control, with the Church making a lot of quick tags to start off and remain in control for the first few minutes of the match-up. Wyndham would gain control after being whipped into a neutral corner, and placed his boot into the mush of an oncoming Crest Silver. Justin would follow that up with a full nelson bulldog. Wolf would calmly extend his hand over the rope, wanting in. Justin looked at Wolf with a face sort of showing a lack of trust, still clearly upset that Wolf still uses the name "Mr. AXW." Regardless, Wyndham brings Silver into their corner and tags in Wolf. Wolf and Silver would go back and forth for a little bit, until Crash Jackson was tagged back in. Crash Jackson would simply spit into the face of Magnum Wolf. Wolf retaliated via a double leg takedown followed by vicious punches to Jackson's head, almost causing a disqualification as senior offical Matt Baker had to pull Wolf off of Jackson. Wolf would continue the aggressive offense on Jackson for a bit, before exclaiming, "You wanna spit in my face, boy? How bout I break your damn neck!" Wolf would then execute a Murder Plex to Jackson, Crash landing on the back of his head. Wolf then slaps the chest of Wyndham, tagging him in, before running across the ring to try to take out Silver. Silver quickly drops from the apron, wanting nothing to do with a pissed off Magnum Wolf. Wolf dares Silver to enter the ring, meanwhile Wyndham climbs to the top rope, before connecting with El Fenix on Jackson for the victory.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners, Magnum Wolf and Justin Wyndham!
Post Match: Wolf would raise Wyndham's hand in celebration, but Wyndham would still look at Wolf kind of skeptically. Silver would grab a microphone.
Crest Silver: Enjoy this win, Wyndham. Your partner did most of the work for you, plus, I was not the one pinned. In two weeks, I will dethrone you, and the AXW Championship will belong to the Church.
Crest drops the mic, and drags Jackson out of the ring, as the show ends.
