Dark Card
Alexander Magnus Vs The Rocket
Justin Famous Vs Akua
Kat Jones Vs Tamara Rose
Singles Match
Matt Ward Vs Nikki Venom
Matt Ward came so close to capturing that PURE 15 Championship and won over the crowd in the process until Chris Williams drove his shoulder first into the ring post and essentially stole the win right from under his nose, becoming the first PURE 15 Champion. So now Matt gets a chance to redeem himself as Nikki Venom steps back into the ring against what might be one of his toughest adversaries to date.
LeBroc is now 2-0 in his Invivationals defeating "The Brick Wall" Chris Alans and Daniel Smart. So what's the next step? Another challenge. Another open challenge to be specific. Who will answer Harris' call this time? Make sure to tune in and find out!
Singles Match
"Twisted" Lethal Steele w/ Cryptic Vs James Peterson w/ Paul Peterson
Lethal Steele has shown to be quite dominant as of late, and James Peterson has taken a few weeks off to get over his two consecutive losses to Bryce Manning and TJ Bryce but now he's ready to get back in the ring and with his brother Paul at ringside, he's ready to pick up a win. But you can't count out the monster that is Lethal Steele. The challenge is set.
Tag Team Match
Frank Washington & Daniel Smart Vs Robert Garland & A Mystery Partner
Frank Washington and Robert Garland nearly had the tag team championships won, but things just continued to implode and not for the better. That is until Daniel Smart made his way out to save Frank from another beat down of a life time which brings us now to Unstoppable #13, where Frank and Daniel who know each other from the past and as we began to start getting some lead into, Garland has some history with the Smart family as well and it's not so good. So we decided to take it all make a tag team match out it, playa, holla holla holla, and give Garland a partner of his choice to combat this team.
Women of Tradition Contest
Lucy Wylde Vs Autumn Raven
Lucy came off of a VERY strong debut on Unstoppable #12, and now she gets her chance to step into the ring again, this time taking on a Woman of Tradition that hasn't quite made her mark in MSW yet, Autumn Raven. Beating Lucy Wylde here could be a great start to that, but if Lucy can knock off the veteran in Autumn it only gets better for her.
Singles Match
The Notorious Thugs Vs Chris Alans & Tommy Angel
We've seen the promos the past few weeks and they made the hints and now here's the official announcement, the Notorious Thugs, Frankie Cocheese and Tyson Pride make their official debut against Chris Alans and Tommy Angel.
Women of Tradition Contest
Marie Porter Vs Marisol Hawkes
Marie Porter in a tough fight picked up the win for contendership after making Christine Nash tap out to her signature TME I submission. Marisol's team didn't quite pick up the victory at US12, but that was no thanks to Xena Nex and Marisol is not happy. So here's her chance to prove she's as good as she says she is as she takes on the #1 contender for Artemis Kaiser's championship!
Tag Team Championship
The Bonecrushing Phailous Vs SVD & Ian Windermear
MAIN EVENT
Bryce Manning's Address
Intro
Smith: Welcome tonight to Unstoppable 13! I am Alex Smith and as you can see, Alex Bradford is not with us tonight but I can promise you that we have some amazing action tonight for all of you fans! Both former number one contenders for the Heavyweight Championship are in the house, the Tag Team Championships are on the line, all champions are here tonight, we also find out tonight who Robert Garland's mystery partner is to take on Frank Washington and Daniel Smart AND we hear from Bryce Manning and Talen Decaine for the first time since Back to Basics right here tonight in The Boneyard with Johnny B.! So many big things in store tonight with the fall out from Back to Basics, I can hardly contain myself!
As we cut away from Smith and over to the ring, we see the lovely Barbara Braman standing directly in the middle of it with a microphone in hand.
Barbara: Ladies and gentlemen, if I could get your attention please-I have just been informed that we have a very special person who will now be on the commentator table with Alex Smith.
Lowering the microphone and smiling, we cut over to the gorilla position where we see a heavier set man with blonde hair step out in a very elegant suit. Stretching out his arms and looking out at the crowd, he receives a very mixed reaction of cheers and boos but they are very loud.
Smith: Well I'll be a monkey's bare uncle, my new partner is none other than Mark Robertson. For those of you who are not familiar with who Mr. Robertson is, he used to manage Mr. Stevenson years ago over on another circuit.
Walking down the ramp and over to the commentary table, he extends his hand out and shakes hands with Alex Smith before taking his seat right next to him and putting on the headset so that they can call the action together.
Smith: Let me be the first to say that it is most certainly a surprise that you are the newest commentator here in Missouri State Wrestling.
Robertson: Of course it's a surprise! When I talked to Mr. Stevenson about the job-I got it on the spot because my credentials speak for themselves. Just like Mr. Stevenson back in his days as a competitor, I am the absolute best at what I do and this company just rose tremendously in stock value with my name.
Smith: I'm not doubting that one bit, I know who you are and what you have done for this business. However, we have Matt Ward versus Nikki Venom coming up next...
Robertson: I know we do! Have you forgotten that Drew Stevenson is my best friend? I know everything that goes on around here.
With all of the small banter between the two, we go back to ringside where Matt Ward versus Nikki Venom is just underway.
Matt Ward Vs Nikki Venom
As the referee signals for the bell getting this match underway, Matt completely rushes in to start things out and drives Nikki into the turnbuckle. Immediately following it up with a flurry of punches, all Nikki can do is cover himself up to try to deflect some of the damage that is being done.
Smith: Ward coming out with a full head of steam. I would say that he is motivated to get back into the PURE 15 championship picture.
Robertson: Well of course he is Smith, if you're not in this business to be the best and to be a champion then why be in it at all?
Smith: Oh I agree with you, I'm just saying that he is coming out far more motivated and determined.
Having chopped Nikki in the chest several times, he stumbled out of the turnbuckle and as Matt came rushing in again-Nikki dropped down pulling the top rope down as Ward goes flying over the top and out onto the floor.
Smith: That was a very crafty move by Nikki, he used all of Matt's momentum and sent him out onto the floor which is a very dangerous spot to be in.
Robertson: Most certainly! I have seen many men lose out here on the floor.
Quickly rolling under the bottom rope, he picks Matt up and throws a knife edge chop of his own as it echoes throughout the arena. Clutching his chest, Matt grits his teeth in pain as Nikki chops him again. Grabbing Nikki by the head, Matt tosses him several feet away as he strikes the black padded flooring and arches his back in a great deal of pain. Walking over to the fallen Nikki, Matt picks him up and quickly throws him into the barricade chest first and as he waits for Nikki to turn around-he darts in looking to clothesline him over the barricade but Nikki ducks and back tosses Matt over the barricade and into the crowd.
Smith: What are these two doing?
Robertson: Well Smith, I would say that the two obviously don't like each other as the action has spilled out into the crowd. That or one of them is looking to punch a fan in the throat, who knows with these two?
As the two continue brawling in the crowd, the referee signals for the bell throwing the match out as both Ward and Venom battle it out all the way to the backstage area.
Barbara: Ladies and gentlemen, this match has been ruled a no contest!
Time to feast!
Opening up in the woods, we can hear rustling in the trees, twigs and branches snapping and it sounds like whatever it is is stalking us. Spinning around, we see a large man dressed very savage like in animal furs and has his face painted in war paint. As the breathing of the cameraman gets very heavy and intense, the right hand of the large man reaches out as the video portion immediately shuts off but it reads something underneath it in red lettering.
LeBroc Harris Vs Open Challenge
Following the big news about Akua coming back, stronger and more ready than before, we’re met with the sounds of “Kiss it Goodbye” by Nickleback as boos shower and LeBroc Harris comes out to the center stage and makes his way down the ramp. He walks down meaning business with a microphone in his hand and takes him no time at all to get into the ring. He stands in the center of the ring for just a moment while the boos carry out and he yells out to them “STOP IT! I’M THE BEST!” and raises his microphone.
LeBroc Harris: I’ve told you ALL to stop booing me! STOP DOUBTING ME! I told you ALL that I would beat Daniel Smart. I SAID I would tap him out and I DID! Daniel Smart TAPPED OUT! HE GAVE UP! HE WAS JUST THE NEXT VICTIM! And noooowww, well now it’s time for another amazing battle of the LEBROC HARRIS INVITATIONAL! Anybody from the back! Anybody from around the world! Anybody from the damn audience! It doesn’t matter! I’m the best, I’ll ALWAYS be the best technical wrestling in the world! And night after night I prove it! So COME ON! Give me the next opponent! GIVE ME THE NEXT VICTIM!”
Smith: LeBroc Harris has been on a roll as of late with this open invitational but he definitely didn’t make Daniel Smart tap out.
Robertson: Let’s look at it this way, Smith, since you seem to know everything. The LeBroc Harris invitational means he has to win by submission, right?
Smith: Well, yes, and he did make Chris Alans tap out but Daniel Smart never tapped.
Robertson: He doesn’t HAVE to just tap out, Smith. Geesh, no wonder Bradford never liked you, you’re terrible to work with! Somebody can lose by saying I quit, or they can lose by having their hands raised and dropped three times if they are incapacitated.
Smith: I know that, you idiot.
Robertson: I’m an idiot? No sir! See, Daniel Smart’s arms were raised and dropped three times in a submission match which is the equivalent of giving up! LeBroc Harris had Daniel Smart in a position he could not recover from and he passed out and by doing so, gave up! Learn your facts or maybe I’ll requisition for a new partner!
Harris threw down the microphone and backed up to the ropes, hunched over waiting for his opponent to arrive when just then “WE PARTY ROCK!” hit the speakers, the crowd erupted and LeBroc shook his head back and forth like it couldn’t be happening. The crowd loved it as the mutli-colored lights were flashing and coming out, dancing his way to the center of the stage with all of his Party Rockers behind him was the man of the hour, Jay B!
Jay B and his Party Rockers made their way down to the ring, dancing and partying and Jay B slid into the ring. As he did, LeBroc bailed and Jay B had the biggest smile on his face and took the microphone.
Jay B: Long time no see, Brocky Boy! And it’s great to be back in Kansas City!
Jay B: Come on, Brocky Boy! Don’t be such a Party Pooper! What do you all say?! Should Brocky Boy face the king of Party Rocking?!
LeBroc: NO! NEVER! THIS IS MY TIME! GET OUT OF MY RING!
Jay B: Come on Brocky! You put out the open challenge, didn’t you? Well I’m here to answer it, Brocky Boy! So I’ll tell you what! Since you want to be such a Party Pooper tonight, how about in two weeks we make it official, what do all of my Party Rockers think about that?!
Smith: Well it looks like in two weeks we’re going to see the in-ring debut of Jay B taking on LeBroc Harris in another edition of the Invitational! Jay B is back in Kansas City!
Robertson: Calm yourself, Smith! It’s not THAT exciting.
Smith: You need to get that women's byproduct out of your rear!
Robertson: Wha-- what?
Smith: We're a TV-14 show, Robertson; but we DO have to cater to some of the younger audience!
Robertson: Disgusting.
The Canadian Franchise
“Hey! Hey! Attention up here duck nuggets!”
We came back from break and the first thing we saw was in the arena and before we could go to the commentary table, the camera looks up to the big screen to see Bradford and his old friend TJ Bryce standing. The voice that spoke was TJ Bryce, and Bradford smiled on.
TJ Bryce: Two weeks ago, my partner in crime, Roman Gold and I ripped that pathetic southern hick and his sad steel mill working partner into shreds… and I had to stop and think well, what the hell am I going to do now. There’s no more LEGACY, and it left me thinking of just what to do, who to torment, who’s going to be my ride along buddy? I could’ve called up Well Connected; everybody knows that The Lenny would have been dying on my call. He’s probably jumping for joy right now hearing my drop his name but then I decided naaaah. Who has always been there for me? Who’s been the main man to have my back and I’ve gotta say… it’s my boy right here, the one, the only, Alex Bradford!
TJ and Bradford smiled.
TJ Bryce: I mean with this man’s guidance how can you go wrong? You can’t, that’s how. And all of you poor little ingrates should be glad that I’m even willing to give you the time of day right about now because right now? I’m back home in Canada, drinking my Canadian beers, taking the night off and enjoying life the Canadian way. That’s why Bradford’s not there with you because he decided, hell, why not, let’s take the night off. Let’s enjoy ourselves. I’ve never seen Canada, he said, so I brought him to my humble abode, brought to you by Bryce Enterprises.
Bryce laughed with a pause and Bradford stepped in.
Bradford: And don’t you worry, Missouri, because we’ll be back in two weeks and my good friend here, TJ Bryce, has got PURE on his mind.
Secret Meeting?
As MSW comes back from commercial break Frank Washington can be seen walking down the hallway backstage, already in his ring gear for his match later in the night. Finally he stops and knocks on the door as the camera zooms in with a sign reading “Talent Relations – Drew Stevenson”. With a smile Drew opens the door as they both shake hands before Frank steps inside his office. The camera attempts to follow them inside but Drew holds his hand up, shaking his head.
Drew Stevenson: I’m afraid this conversation isn’t open to the public, gentlemen.
Before the cameraman can even protest the door slams shut leaving the audience as well as the commentators guessing.
Robertson: I wonder what this is all about?
Smith: Well Drew Stevenson is co-head of Talent Relations so as far as official business goes it could be about anything.
Robertson: Whatever it is I’m sure it won’t be too long before we find out what’s going on. If you want to know my guess it probably involves Robert Garland.
Smith: I think this is the first time we’ve seen eye to eye tonight.
Robertson: Don’t get used to it Smith. In any case we have more MSW Unstoppable to come, and we’ll be back after a short word from our sponsors.
From the grave? Nothing lasts forever!
Darkness, destruction and rubble everywhere from a once beautiful kingdom that now has been crumbled and deceased. Amidst all of the rubble, we see a queens throne and on that throne sat a tiny little Artemis Kaiser Plush doll and right in front of it was a replica version of the MSW Women's Championship.
With some footsteps lightly echoing throughout the area, we saw a very shadowy figure-no features at all could be revealed walk up to the throne and just stand there looking at it. After a very eerie pause, the figure stretches out it's arms and ignites a match as the tiny yet beautiful flame almost illuminates the room. Holding the lit match, the figure then tosses the match on to the throne as it begins to burn in a fiery inferno. Turning around and walking off, we watch the throne burn, we watch the Plush doll of Artemis Kaiser burn and we watch the replica of the MSW Women's Championship begin to melt in the intense heat from the fire.
As the figure has completely vanished, we hear a soft voice whisper out for everybody to hear.
Bonecrushing Phailous (c) Vs SVD & Ian Windermear
Starting this match off is Yugo versus Ian. As the referee signals for the bell, both men begin pacing around each other-feeling one another out as they then embrace in a collar and elbow tie up as Ian is quick to get in behind Yugo as he lifts him into the air and hits a beautiful backdrop. Holding his neck in pain, Ian quickly applies a sleeper hold while laying on his belly as Yugo is lying on his back.
Smith: Ian kicking things off with some old-school technical wrestling, just the kind of stuff that we love to see here in Missouri State Wrestling.
Robertson: Finally Smith, you are finally speaking some truth.
Smith: When have I not spoken any truth before Mark?
Robertson: Just about every other time you've opened up your mouth. That is why Mr. Stevenson brought me here Alex, to make sure that the truth is always spoken to the people.
Smith: Well aren't you just a man of the people!
Robertson: Of course I am Smith, I one time bought a homeless guy a cheeseburger off of the dollar menu at McDonald's.
Going back to the action, Yugo managed to fight to his feet as he begins throwing several elbows into the midsection of Ian causing him to loosen up on the hold. As he hits the ropes having managed to break free, he returns with a full head of steam and hits a modified type dropkick right into Ian's face dropping him immediately as he quickly covers him for the pin.
Pressing his shoulder up off of the canvas, Yugo quickly gets to his feet and walks over to Ian's legs when he locks in the Boston Crab right in the center of the ring. Screaming out in a great deal of pain, Ian begins fighting and clawing his way to the bottom rope as the referee asks him if he wants to quit. Shaking his head from side to side, he refuses to tap out and continues fighting his way over to the bottom rope.
Smith: The Boston Crab is a very dangerous hold that targets that lower back region.
Robertson: Ian better get out of this hold as soon as possible or he could find himself in a world of hurt.
Having finally managed to get to the bottom rope, Yugo releases the hold and picks Ian up to his feet, positioning his head under his arm-Yugo lifts him up for a vertical suplex but Ian manages to shift the momentum and lands in behind Yugo where he quickly reaches back and grabs him by the neck and hits a neck breaker which really changes the momentum of this match.
Smith: What a neck breaker by Ian!
Robertson: Moves like that are exactly the reason why tides and momentum changes.
With both men lying on the canvas, the referee begins the standard ten count and gets to two before Ian crawls over and tags in SVD. As Yugo crawls over to tag in Johnny, SVD grabs him by the foot and drags him backwards. Stomping on the knee region of Yugo, SVD picks him up to his feet and Irish whips him into the turnbuckle where he charges in with a full head of steam looking to clothesline Yugo but Yugo manages to move out-of-the-way as SVD hits the turnbuckle extremely hard falling backwards as Yugo lunges forward and manages to make the tag to Johnny.
Smith: JOHNNY HAS BEEN TAGGED IN AND LOOK AT HIM GO, HE IS ON FIRE!
Putting SVD down with clothesline after clothesline, Ian enters the ring and is put down with a spine buster as Johnny is on fire right now. Letting out a war screen, Johny turns around and is met with a kick right at the tip of the jaw as Johnny falls backwards clutching his jaw.
Robertson: Oh man, did you see that? SVD just about took Johnny's head off with that kick.
Smith: He sure did, you could hear that one from all the way over here.
Walking over to Johnny, SVD begins stomping on him repeatedly as Johnny crawls his way over into the turnbuckle. Showing no remorse, SVD continues stomping on Johnny keeping him in the seated position and after the fourth kick; SVD uses his knee to choke Johnny in the corner as the referee begins the standard five count.
Right before the five count, SVD releases the choke and just smirks. Bending down to pick Johnny up to his feet, Johnny begins throwing a flurry of punches driving SVD back and as SVD is reeling; Johnny bounces off the ropes and comes back with a flying shoulder block which takes SVD right off of his feet. As Johnny gets up, he waits for SVD to as well and as SVD finally does-Johnny comes running in again but SVD kicks him in the lower midsection region which doubles Johnny over.
Smith: Was that a blatant low blow by SVD?
Robertson: Of course not! It was just a kick that was lower than normal.
Climbing to the top rope, SVD jumps off and in mid air is caught by Johnny. Having SVD on his shoulders, Johnny immediately hits the Johnny special and follows it up with a pin fall.
Signaling for the bell, the referee grabs the MSW Tag Team Championships and hands them to Johnny and Yugo while raising their hands into the air.
Barbara: Your winners of the match, the MSW Tag Team Champions, Johnny B. AND YUGO PHAILOUS; THE BONECRUSHING PHHHAILOOUUS!!
You've won a BRAND NEW-- nah, just MSW Merch. Wait, MERCH? YES!!
As the Tag Team Championship match comes to a close the camera cuts back to the backstage area as Tommy Angel and Loose Cannon can be seen at the merchandise table. Tommy Angel has the MSW Tag Team and Women’s Championships hanging from his neck, the Heavyweight Championship around his waist and the Pure Championship Trophy sitting on the table filled with M&Ms. Loose Cannon also has a Tag Team Championship around his waist as the two wear big smiles for the audience.
Loose Cannon: Somebody call my Momma Tommy; look at all this sweet merchandise!
Tommy Angel: That’s right LC; the MSW Shop has all the gear you need to support your favorite wrestlers! Are you a fan of Johnny B.? Frank Washington? Yugo Phailous? Chris Williams? Ian Windermear and SVD? Perhaps you’re down with the Notorious Thugs and want to rep their colors to every event. You may even be a fan of my good friend Bryce Manning, Kat Jones, Artemis Kaiser or Marie Porter. Maybe even you’re a fan of the dynamic duo of Tommy Angel and Loose Cannon; Loose Tommy! Well look no further than MSW.com or the merchandise table to get the newest gear to show your support!
As Tommy Angel runs through the names Loose Cannon can be seen dancing by the table, holding up shirts of the respective wrestlers when their names are mentioned. Before Tommy Angel can continue however Loose Cannon whips out his phone.
Loose Cannon: Hang on Tommy, I gotta call my mamma!
Ring Ring
Momma LC: Hello?
Loose Cannon: Hey momma, it's me!
Momma LC: LC, is that you, honey?
Loose Cannon: It sure is momma, and guess what?!
Momma LC: What is it, LC?
Loose Cannon: You can buy all your MSW merchandise now at every MSW event and on MSW.com, you can even buy replica championships of all your favorite belts!
Momma LC: Oh LC honey, I think all those nice people need to jump on this deal ya dig?
The jovial atmosphere suddenly turned grim as the cameras pan to Artemis Kaiser, the self-proclaimed “Champion For Life”, wearing the real MSW Women’s Championship around her waist.
Loose Cannon: I’ll have to call you back Momma… some crazy bizzo be crampin our style!
Momma LC: You and Tommy take care honey.
Loose Cannon puts his phone away as Artemis wore a smug, unimpressed expression.
Artemis Kaiser: Really, replica belts? Do you know who I am? No, no... not the Juggernaut Bitch... I’m the CHAMPION FOR LIFE! I don’t need a replica to feel special because I have the real deal and it’s never leaving my grip. Since when did MSW become one big infomercial with the Loser Squad, which includes a man who never left an acid trip from the 70s listening to Jimi Hendrix and a guy who plays Power Ranger LARP 24/7? Don’t make me do something you’re going to regret!
Loose Cannon: Now listen here bizzo…
Before Loose Cannon can utter another word Artemis lays him out with a devastating temple kick. Tommy Angel’s eyes widen as he backs up knocking the PURE 15 Championship trophy everywhere, causing M&Ms to spill everywhere. He looks at the M&Ms for a brief second, a second too long as when he turns his attention back to Artemis she grabs him with authority and nails him with the DMD (Package Piledriver) onto the candy. With a smug smile at her handiwork she grabs a handful of M&Ms off the table and devours them.
Artemis Kaiser: Sweet, like victory.
With that MSW cuts to break as the Champion for Life walks away from the scene.

Lucy Wylde Vs Autumn Raven
The sun is shining,
Though everything's dying,
Your stars burned out for good,
Somewhere in Hollywood.
As the guitar riff stars up, the purple lights flicker like strobe lights as Autumn walks out slowly from the back, coming to a stop at the top of the ramp as the fans begin to boo, showing their disdain. She smirks arrogantly and flings her arms out to the sides before descending down the ramp.
What the hell,
This ain't no way to treat the living dead,
Is this something from a novel that you read,
It's time to cut the cord and say goodbye,
Cos I'm the only thing that hasn't happened yet,
And when it does I wished we'd never met,
I did the best I could.
She walks around the ring, glaring at the fans at ringside, before she slides under the bottom rope and leaps to her feet, giving the crowd a smug smile.
The sun is shining,
But everything's dying,
Your stars burned out for good,
Somewhere in Hollywood,
I swear it's only,
Cos you'd be my lies
Guess I'm misunderstood,
You were my deadlihood.
She runs to the corner turnbuckle and climbs up to the second one, taunting the crowd, as she flings her arms out to the sides once again before climbing down.
Smith: Autumn Raven hasn’t had any luck recently in an MSW ring but this week she’s looking to correct the ship. Meanwhile Lucy Wylde was very impressive in her debut and she’s looking to improve her stock in the squared circle.
Robertson: Well when someone enters a losing streak they become desperate to get back to their winning ways and Raven isn’t above going deep into that bag of tricks to do whatever it takes to get the job done. This match is going to be a blockbuster for sure and I don’t mean the lackluster rental chain.
"Adrenalize" blasts through the PA causing the crowd to get to their feet and cheer. Lucy walks out onto the stage with pep in her step and a smile on her face. She stops at the top of the ramp and throws her hands in to the air. She begins down the ramp, slapping the hands of the fans on either side.
Barbara Braman: And her opponent, from Kansas City, Missouri… Lucy Wylde!
She goes to the side of the ring, hopping up on to the apron. She faces out to the crowd putting her hands in the air once again. She then goes to the turnbuckle climbing up it to taunt once more, bobbing her head to the music. She points out to the crowd with a smile before hopping down into the ring. She continues bobbing her head as she awaits the start of the match. As the bell rings Raven and Wylde each look to gain the upper hand early on as Wylde tries to test her with a series of headlocks, hammerlocks, and an assortment of chain wrestling. Raven manages to keep pace by slipping out of the holds and countering with aggressive elbow shots and keeping her distance, using her speed to her advantage to close in with a side suplexed when Wylde tries to close the gap. Wylde having a bit of speed herself manages to float behind after a suplex attempt and hits a springboard hurricanrana to whip Raven right into the turnbuckle before following up with a handspring elbow to the jaw.
Smith: Beautifully executed handspring elbow by Lucy Wylde. Raven was trying to use her speed to her advantage but the highflying acumen of Wylde balances out with her precision sharp technical ability.
Robertson: Raven definitely has the aggressive edge though, hell has no fury like a woman scorned and you can bet she feels scorned after her recent losing streak.
With the crowd roaring in support Wylde climbs onto the second rope, taking a moment to pose for the crowd before raining down a series of punches to the head, or at least that’s what she was planning. Raven took the liberty of shoving her off the middle rope and following up with an eye rake much to the displeasure of the crowd.
Smith: That was unnecessary!
Robertson: I disagree Smith and here’s why. When two or more competitors step foot inside that ring they’re all looking to advance their own careers and the most successful competitors aren’t afraid to use any means necessary to achieve their goals. When you haven’t won in a while you become more and more hungry, winning becomes an obsession.
Smith: I understand the frustration that comes with that but it doesn’t make it right! At what point is winning no longer worth it, when you lose your sense of self and who you are?
Robertson: It’s always worth it, believe me Smith. Natural selection dictates that in evolution you either adapt or perish. Raven wants to be at the top of the Women’s Division, she wants to show the world that she’s at the top of the food chain. I’m disappointed Smith, you should be applauding her dedication and determination to be the very best.
Smith: Sorry, I believe in a thing called morals and ethics, there’s a right way and a wrong way to do things.
Robertson: And I believe in a thing called winning Smith and that’s ok! We can’t all be winners in life!
Raven controls much of the next several minutes of the match after taking the upper hand after the use of underhanded tactics. Raven gets progressively more aggressive as the match goes on as she works on the legs of Wylde trying to keep her grounded and at her mercy. Wylde makes a valiant attempt to mount a comeback as she tries to kick and push her away and for a moment manages to make it back to her feet. Wylde tries to swing the momentum quickly as she attempts an Implant DDT but Raven manages to slip out and throws her down to the mat by the back of her hair in what resembled a horse collar tackle.
The referee yells at Raven to watch the hair but gets completely ignored as she places her foot on her hair and constantly stomps on her face which causes the referee to start a 5 count.
2!
3!
4!
Raven breaks right before 5 as she basks in the hatred from the audience.
Robertson: Now that’s the attitude of a winner right there Smith! She smells blood in the water and she’s going for the kill.
Smith: She should’ve been disqualified already! A horse collar like takedown is outlawed in football because of the tendency to inflict serious injury and the fact that she’s so blatantly using her hair to mount an unfair advantage is enough to have this match thrown out. Raven has no regard for Lucy Wylde’s safety!
Robertson: That’s entirely up to referee’s discretion Smith but honestly why are you surprised? Autumn Raven enjoys inflicting pain on her opponent just because she can; it gives her a certain satisfaction. Raven isn’t here just to win but to inflict as much pain and suffering as possible.
Raven stares down at Wylde with a sadistic, twisted smile as she slowly circles around her before stopping at her feet. Raven grabs her by the ankle and drags her to the center of the ring before locking in her patented ankle lock, In My Grip! Wylde screams out in pain as she tries to reach for the ropes as Raven twists her ankle as hard as she can as the referee asks her if she wishes to quit. Wylde shakes her head defiantly and shouts “NO!” causing Raven to twist the ankle even harder out of spite. Wylde almost reaches the ropes but right before her fingers and touch the bottom rope Raven drags her back to the center of the ring.
Smith: Lucy Wylde is trying her hardest to fight through the pain but Raven’s assault may be too much to overcome.
Robertson: Now that’s efficiency right there Smith! She’s going to tap, there’s no way out and she’s about out of options!
Wylde out of desperation makes one last desperate crawl for the ropes but Raven won’t have any of it as she goes to drag her back to the center. Wylde manages to roll on through causing Raven to lose her grip and fly into the turnbuckle. Wylde manages to get to her feet, favoring her ankle as she sees the best chance for victory right in front of her. She grimaces in pain as she puts pressure on her ankle as she positions herself behind the hunched over raven and hits the Wylde Ride (inverted overdrive)! Wylde holds her ankle on the matt as both competitors are now on the mat as the referee goes to check on both of them.
Smith: What heart from Lucy Wylde! Despite all the pain, despite the underhanded tactics she’s managed to shine on through if she can just manage to make the cover.
Robertson: Raven should’ve dropped the ankle lock into a grapevine hold! This is a travesty Smith! Raven is going to get robbed!
Wylde manages to crawl over and roll Raven over for the pin as the crowd counts along with the referee.

Barbara Braman: Here is your winner… Lucy Wylde!
WHY Peyton, WHY?!
Coming back from a break, we've got a silent crowd as they're waiting in anticipation for what is to be said with Peyton Kaiser standing in the middle of the ring and his brother Cameron standing in the corner behind him. Peyton paces around the ring for a moment before stopping in the middle, raising the microphone up and gathers a serious expression on his face.
Peyton: For the past two weeks since Back to Basics, all I hear on twitter, all anybody stops to ask me about in the street... is WHY? WHY did you do that to Luke, Peyton? WHY did you attack him? What did Luke ever do to you?! And you know what? YOU KNOW WHAT?! I'm sick of it. I'm real sick and tired of hearing about it. I'm sick of all the questions, I'm sick of the fact that not one single person really gives a damn about why I did it, all they seem to care about is the fact that I did do it to their beloved Luke Jackson. But let me make one thing clear: I did it not because I have anything against Luke but it was time for a change. It was time for ME to change and Bryce Manning retaining that Heavyweight championship was the key that I needed. The moment that I saw Luke Jackson get beat in the middle of the ring and I wasn't quick enough to do anything about it... that's when I knew things had to change. What I was doing wasn't working and when Luke took that opportunity away from me he had to pay. Luke Jackson had to pay because I was sick and tired of that little runt always tailing me around, trying to follow in my footsteps...
He paused and smirked briefly while the crowd was getting rowdy.
Smith: This is definitely a different side of Peyton than we're used to seeing! I'm not sure what I even think about this right now!
Robertson: See, you're just as bad as everybody else that's been judging him. The man did what he needed to do to succeed! Wrestling 101, Smith, if you can't get by with what you're doing, then change it up. Do something unexpected to catch the opponent off guard. Being the Hero wasn't working for Peyton. He lost to Bryce in the title tournament and he lost to Bryce again in the title match; so he changed it up.
Smith: I think I'd rather have Bradford here with me.
Robertson: Hate what you don't know, is that the game, Smith? Step it up so I don't have to keep doing your job for you.
Peyton: See! That's exactly what I've been talking about! You.. ALL OF YOU, you cheer for that runt and why? Because he can do a couple of flippity flops in the air? No... no... I get it, I see why. It's because he cost me the MSW Heavyweight Championship, isn't it? ISN'T IT?! You're cheering for him because he if lost that meant I didn't win. (Now speaking sarcastically) YAAAAAY Pyeton didn't win! Well that's why all of you can forget about you're "Personal Hero" ever being back. Because your "Personal Hero" couldn't get the job done and I finally came to understand what it meant to be a Kaiser. Cameron and Artemis showed me what it was like to be a Kaiser and I have finally deemed myself worthy of adapting my father's name. The Kaiser name is the only name that matters anymore!
Then "It's Time" by Imagine Dragons hit the speakers, much to the crowds pleasure to see Luke Jackson coming out but no theatrics, just straight headline to the ring.
Luke: You know what, Peyton, you're damn right I wanna know why! I wanna know why you hit me from behind. I wanna know why you turned on me! I wanna know why you turned on the people that have been behind you since day one! I wanna know why you're looking that freakshow brother of yours get into your head! I wanna know why you did it, Peyton! I wanna know why you haven't returned my texts, my calls, my tweets, my facebook messages... I wanna know why you've been ignoring me, Peyton! I think I wanna know why you did it more than any of these people do and I'd say you owe me an...>BAM<
Robertson: Peyton doesn't owe Luke Jackson anything! He's taking care of his own business and Luke Jackson interfered and he got punished because of it. While yes, it is a country of free speech, it doesn't mean what you say can't be punished and Luke Jackson just learned that one first hand!
The Marie Experience is Ready
Charles: Thanks guys. Marie, welcome.
Marie: Hey! Thanks Charlie!
Marie: Haha, yeeeeaaa Charlie! I got a lot of thoughts! Hooolahoops are awesome, I love rainbows, see my attire?! Haha but you mean MATCH thoughts, I gotcha! Yeaaa. Artie's as tough as tough gets, that's why she's the champion but it's gonna end real soon and stuff! I'm not going to challenge for the title right away. I'm going to let Artie hang on to that belt just a liiiitle bit longer and THEN I'm going to call for my match, yep yep. See, I'm ready for Artie. I'm ready to kick her butt, I'm ready to finally get the Women's Championship that I've been waiting for so long and trying to hard to get. There's soooo many amazing ladies here in MSW that any one of them could be champion FOR LIFE haha but it's going to take somebody to dethrone her. Shawna couldn't do it, Kat couldn't do it but neither of those two awesome ladies beat me, either. I'm different than all of them, Charlie! They're all good, they're GREAT but right now I'm better. Artie has put the entire women's division on notice beating Kat the way she did, no matter how close it was but that's why I'm gonna beat her, Charlie! That's why I've gotta beat her but that time will come.
Charles: It's great to hear the confidence, it's sure to be an amazing match when it happens. But in the mean time, tonight you've got Marisol Hawkes. Marisol has seemed to be pretty focused on Anica but she's determined to get out of her rut and beat you tonight. How do you feel about your match tonight?
Marie: Charlie, she's good. There's not really a single woman in this entire business that I can take anything away from but Mary Mary quite Contrary is in for a fight tonight! Ooooh yeah she is. She's done a lot of great things but she came to MSW for a reason, Charlie, to be with the best ladies in the business and like I said earlier in the week, she just wasn't sure or used to the level of competition but she'll get there, I'm sure of it, but not tonight. Nope nope, not tonight because I'm on a roll! And tonight is about staying on a roll and sending a message to Artie! Loud and clear!
Marie walks off dancing her dance, and Charles look back to the camera.
The Notorious Thugs Vs Chris Alans & Tommy Angel
Robertson: Looks like Artemis' kick took a little bit more out of Loose Cannon that that piledriver did to Tommy Angel, or Tommy Angel is just a beast because he's back out here competing already! And my guess is that Tyson is not looking to wrestle here but fight!
Smith: I would say that you are right on that one Robertson.
Not wasting any time whatsoever, Tyson begins stomping on Tommy who covers up to the best of his ability. Bending down and pulling Tommy to his feet, Tyson Irish whips Tommy into his own turnbuckle as he strikes back first and lets out a scream in pain. Walking back to his own turnbuckle, he comes charging in with a full head of steam and completely avalanche splashes Tommy as he falls to the seated position and Chris reaches out and tags the shoulder of his partner.
Smith: Things are not looking good for the team of Chris Alans and Tommy Angel.
Robertson: Really, what gave it away genius? Was it the fact that Tommy is already down or maybe that they are facing Tyson Pride and Frankie Cocheese-a former multi time World Heavyweight Champion?
As Chris enters the ring and looks at Tyson, Tyson looks back in his own corner and smiles as he walks back and tags in Frankie who is itching to get back into the ring. As Frankie steps into the ring, Chris decides to try getting the jump on Frankie and lunges in but Frankie was one step ahead of him and catches him with a huge spine buster which completely rattles the ring. Picking Chris up to his feet, Tommy has now gotten to his feet as Frankie Irish whips Chris into the turnbuckle as he collides with Tommy and both men stumble around causing the fans to laugh.
Robertson: This match is officially over, call it now and save these two from the beating that Frankie is about to give them!
Smith: I have to agree with you on this one, it's not looking very good for Tommy or Chris right about now.
As Tommy who was stumbling around fell through the middle ropes and out onto the floor, Chris stumbled around and as he turned around, Frankie out of nowhere hits the Toe Tagger and lays him out cold. Dropping down on top of Chris, the referee immediately drops down to make the town.
Calling for the bell, Frankie gets up to his feet after a very dominating victory as the referee raises both he and Tyson's arm into the air as they are the winners of the matchup.
Barbara: Your winners of the match, TYSON PRIDE and FRANKIE COOCHEEESSSEEE!!!
Walking over to the ropes, both Frankie and Tyson lean in and yell out so that the camera and everybody listening can hear them loud and clear.
Frankie and Tyson: Every single Tag team in this business? You bet your ass were coming for ya. Bonecrushing Phailous? Keep those belts nice and shined up for us because your on borrowed time and The Notorious Thugs is coming for what's ours and that is the MSW tag team championships so consider all of y'all selves put on notice.
Leaning away from the camera, they both exit the ring and walk up the ramp heading to the backstage area.
Marie Porter Vs Marisol Hawkes
Smith: Marie is rocking it here tonight, Mark, not giving Marisol much, if any, breathing room.
Robertson: And that's how you have to do things sometimes. Marisol is tough, she's got accolades from all around the world but she's not MSW tough and the number contender is showing why she's the number one contender. If she's going to send a message to the champion for life, than she's going to have to not be nice about it.
Well Marie was definitely not being nice about it. When she got in the ring it was like she was a whole different person. Marisol did get a fighting shot though as she came back from a beating from Marie and she had Marie into the ropes. A few forearm shots and a headlock takeover had Marisol in control. Marie sat up, dazed and Marisol hit the ropes running for a dropkick but Marie is able to roll to the side a bit, grabbing Marisol's foot tripping her up.
Smith: Marie's got the leg, this could be the end of the match coming up if she's able to lock in the Marie Experience One this could be all over!
Robertson: It could, but Marisol is well traveled and she wants to get out of her rut, beating the contender could do that for her. So if Marisol has done her homework than she should know that to get out of this hold is not easy but if she can manage to use her body weight, and throw it to the side it can take Marie to the mat and she'll lose the submission hold. Now if you knew your homework you could have known that and I wouldn't be here explaining it to you and doing your job and mine!
Smith: Yeah, right, whatever, Mark. But... yes, Marie has the hold locked in! The Marie Experience is locked in!
Robertson: And it's a tough hold to get out of but Marisol has the chance and the opportunity to do it, but the question is.. will she?!
The Marie Experience I was locked in tight, Marisol was struggling as she was in the middle of the ring trying to reach the ropes but it was too much and she had no choice but to tap out.
Barbara: Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner by submission, MAARRIIIE POOORRRTEERR!
Smith: Marie just made short work of Marisol! Folks we've gotta take just a quick break and when we come back we find out who Robert Garland's mystery partner is going to be in this big tag team match!
Robertson: You can find out, I already know! Connections, Smith, I'd learn them if I were you.
Total Chaos
Robertson: Because Lethal Steele is a monster, driven by Cryptic Soul, Smith! Haven't you figured that out yet? The man has no path, he has nothing to lose or nothing to gain; he just likes to freakin' destroy and of course I'm sure he wants at some of the MSW Gold so he's making it loud and clear that anybody in his path needs to be weary of what exactly is happening when he's around!
Frank Washington & Daniel Smart vs Robert Garland & Mystery Partner
"Re-Education (Through Labor)" by Rise Against resonates from the PA system as jet of smoke erupts on the stage as the lights dim. Frank Washington emerges from behind the smoke with his back turned and his arms outstretched wide to a positive reaction. Frank slowly turns around as he methodically makes his way down the ramp slapping fans hands along the way.
Barbara Braman: Introducing first, Making his way to the ring now residing in San Jose, California weighing 233lbs he is The Revolutionary, Frank Washington!
As Frank reaches the end of the ramp he pauses for a moment before sprinting into the ring, sliding under the bottom rope. Frank Washington then gets up and approaches the turnbuckle as he climbs up on the second rope pausing for a moment as he again soaks in the atmosphere created by the MSW faithful as he outstretches his arms wide to pose. After a few moment's pause he descends the turnbuckle taking his red coat off and turns his attention to the ring.
Smith: Two weeks ago at Back to Basics Frank Washington failed in his attempt to capture the MSW Tag Team Championship but it’s not exactly like he had a lot of help. Robert Garland and Frank Washington simply couldn’t put their differences aside long enough to deal with a cohesive unit in Johnny B. and Yugo Phailous but it’s what happened afterwards that was absolutely sickening.
Robertson: Did you honestly expect anything else? These two hate each other! That’s like putting a snake and a mongoose in the same room together and expecting them to co-exist instead of tearing each other apart!
Smith: Thankfully Daniel Smart ran in for the save before permanent damage could be done but one has to wonder exactly who’s crazy enough to team with Garland in this tag team match, is there honestly a single person on the roster that can trust him?
Robertson: Maybe not but who says he needs a partner? As far as I’m concerned Travis Rech and Robert Garland make the perfect tandem; one causes a wake of destruction in his path while the other expertly manages the situation to an extreme advantage for his client. It’s poetry in motion Smith!
“Get Lucky” by Daft Punk starts playing as Daniel Smart walks out, receiving loud cheers.
Barbara Barman: And his tag team partner from Chicago, Illinois weighing 205 lbs… Daniel Smart!
Daniel takes a moment to admire the crowd, then springs into the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope. Daniel gets up and hops onto the middle rope, posing to the crowd. Daniel does this on the opposite ropes as well before dropping down and standing in the middle of the ring.
Smith: Some are saying Daniel Smart is biting off more than he can chew coming to Frank Washington’s defense at Back to Basics but these three men share a lot of history. Frank Washington and Daniel Smart tend to have an unofficial alliance having watched each other’s backs several times before in MSW mainly due to circumstances.
Robertson: Daniel Smart should be looking out for himself. He’s eying a match with Bryce Manning sooner or later and he needs to stay healthy and take care of himself before going against The Architect. I don’t care if he and Frank go out and drink beer together after the shows or if he and Michael used to play Monopoly every Friday night together 5 years ago; this does nothing to benefit him!
While Washington and Smart wait in the ring, an unusual silence takes over before being broken by a familiar voice booming on a microphone. Washington seems intense, Smart still readying up as Garland and Rech come out of the backstage area to the booing of the crowd.
Travis Rech: Ladies an' Gentlemen! Mah name is Travis Rech, an' me an' mah client, would like ah moment of yer time fer ah very important announcement! We have high hopes that this 'ere announcement will help lead ya all on tha path of truth! Justice! An' enlightenment!
The crowd boos continuously, Rech handing the microphone over to Garland before proudly displaying both of Garland's legacy championships. With mic in hand, Garland waits for the atmosphere to calm down before speaking.
Robert Garland: Well doesn't this just make my heart feel all warm and fuzzy! If it isn't just my two favorite people preparin' themselves in front of this... Fantastic audience... And, gettin' ready for the most painful night of their lives!...
Garland smiles and looks out at the audience as they jeer him and start to chant.
Robert Garland: Hey... Hey, hey, hey! Calm down, sheeple. I know you're all excited to see your favorite jack asses do battle with "the evil" Robert Garland... But, I'm sorry to say that you'll have to wait just a bit longer. You see, before I come down this here ramp, I want to take a moment to give a very special introduction to my chosen partner for the night! Now, I'm sure you're all wonderin' just who I've decided to share this moment with, but rest assured that I have searched high and low to find the true hero of this industry. That's right, my partner tonight is the biggest thing in The MSW since... Well, since myself of course. He is a true hero who is worthy of your adoration, unlike the two posers in the ring! He is a man who is here to help expose these two lyin' villains, and to show you all the true nature of an honest and just champion!&nbsp;And, without further tryin' the patience of you, delightful and ignorant fans...
"Headstrong" by Trapt begins to play, the audience in a confused state as Chris Williams heads out of the backstage area. Garland goes to shake Williams' hand, Chris staring at his "partner" before ignoring him and raising the Pure 15 Trophy high over his head. Garland laughs to himself, both men heading down the ramp as the camera pans behind them to reveal the back of Garland's jacket where his name is outlined in gold.
Barbara Braman: And their opponents, weighing in at a combined weight of 466lbs the team of Robert Garland and the MSW Pure Champion, Chris Williams!
Smith: Chris Williams?! Why the hell is he siding with Robert Garland of all people?
Robertson: Well if you would’ve done your research you’d know that Chris has history with all three of these men. He hates Daniel Smart and the Smart family after his cousin Michael broke his girlfriend’s neck, he hates Frank Washington because of the man he was years ago. Out of the three Robert Garland was the only one who treated him as a friend and had his back. I swear by the end of the month I’m going to be sitting here solo at the table because I do your job better than you!
Smith: Listen I know the history lesson, just as you say you’re best friends with Mr. Stevenson I’ve been good friends with Frank for just as long. I know the history, I know the circumstances but a lot can change In four years, he’s a changed man regardless of how much Garland would like to live in the past. He’s poisoning Chris Williams’ mind and it makes me sick!
Frank Washington isn’t content to wait as he darts out of the ring and runs up the ramp as he and Garland begin exchanging blows. Chris Williams quickly puts his trophy down and double teams Frank Washington, causing Daniel Smart to dart out as well to aid his partner. The referee looks absolutely helpless and clueless as all four men brawl on the entrance ramp and down towards the ring as the crowd roars loudly in approval.
Garland and Williams finally manage to pull away after Washington and Smart gradually gain the upper hand as the referee finally darts out of the ring in an attempt to restore order, getting in between the two teams. Rech manages to get in the ear of Williams and Garland in the brief reprieve in hositilities to try to devise a plan of attack. The referee orders both teams to get in the ring and it appears both sides are willing to comply as they start to go towards their respective corners. Just as it seems order was restored Washington darts back outside and goes straight after Garland again, blindsiding him with stiff clubbing shot to the back. Garland appears wide eyed momentarily on the ground as if he was caught by surprise by the aggression of the Revolutionary.
Smith: Lots of aggression from Frank Washington right out of the gate, I haven’t seen him this aggressive since Best of the Best and the match hasn’t even started yet!
Robertson: Well when you hate someone with every ounce of your being and you’re being attacked at every turn even a mild mannered reporter will turn into a vicious hound when you press his back against the wall.
Williams again darts out to aid Garland as he turns Washington around and delivers a stinging slap to the face loud enough to echo throughout the arena causing even Rech to cringe. Williams and Washington start exchanging rights and lefts as Williams gets the better of the exchange this time. Williams whips Washington into the barricade with authority. As Williams goes to check on Garland Daniel Smart vaults himself over the top rope and hits Williams with a suicide dive!
Smith: Look at the hang time of that suicide dive! This is a full blown war!
Robertson: Are you surprised? All the combustible elements are in place and it’s a powder keg for disaster. The referee can do little to restore order as the match still hasn’t even officially started yet, this is mass chaos.
As all four men stir on the ground Smart is the first to make it up to his feet while Garland is the second. Each man regroups with their respective partners as they finally make their ways to their corners. As Garland and Smart are the “fresh” men of their respective teams they start the match off as the bell finally rings with Williams and Washington in their team’s corners.
Smith: And at long last the match is now officially underway!
Robertson: This only the second phase of the war. The bell only makes it official but as you can cleary see they didn’t spend their time before the bell twiddling their thumbs.
As the match officially starts Garland controls the first few minutes of the match having had a little more time to recover playing possum on the outside and been spared the impact of a suicide dive. Garland makes several frequent tags with Chris Williams to isolate Smart from his corner showing decent teamwork. With Williams now in the ring he targets the head frequently and often as he targets the neck with several well placed knee drops causing Smart to kick his feet on the mat in pain. As Smart manages to get up to one knee Williams manages to hit a well-timed big boot to Smart as he quickly looks to hook the leg.
2!
Kickout!
Smith: Williams seems to be targeting the head and neck area of Smart with a purpose.
Robertson: It’s an act of vengeance, his cousin broke his girlfriend’s neck and he holds the Smart family responsible.
Smith: Is it fair that he’s held accountable for his cousin’s sins?
Robertson: He did nothing to prevent the act, that makes him just as guilty.
Williams tags Garland in as they lift Daniel Smart up and hit him with a double suplex. Washington looks on impatiently wanting to both get into the ring with his rival and give his partner a bit of break as Garland grabs ahold of Smart by his hair. Garland as if to taunt his rival drags him to the center of the ring.
Garland: Do you see this?!
Garland rains down several hard rights to the forehead of Smart trying to bust him open.
Garland: This is all your fault, his blood is going to be on your hands!
Having seen enough Washington steps between the ropes and lunges at him but the referee is quick to intercept him eliciting loud booes from the crowd.
Williams and Garland take advantage of the situation as Williams charges into the ring. Garland holds Smart up in a full nelson as Williams unleashes a flurry of blows in a fit of hatred as Smart begins to slump lifelessly towards the ground. Garland lets Smart drop to the ground and makes a slapping motion with his hands as he goes back to his corner, tricking the referee into thinking a legal tag was made.
Robertson: Expert teamwork by Garland and Williams, they’re functioning as a well oiled machine.
Smith: Of course Garland actually cooperates with Chris Williams… It’s illegal as all hell but he’s at least cooperating with his tag partner for once.
Robertson: He considers Williams a friend, why do you sound so surprised?
Williams wastes no time locking Smart into the Facepeeler as Smart screams in agonizing pain trying to gather his awareness of his positioning in the ring. Williams wrenches back with all his might not wanting to just win the match but to snap the neck of the cousin who broke his girlfriend’s neck. Rech knowing that the match is close to being won tries to dissuade Frank Washington from darting in to make the save swaggers over to the announce table towards Alex Smith.
Robertson: Looks like you have some company Smith!
Rech smirks and gets in Smith’s face as they stare off. Washington looks over at ringside and back inside the ring as Smart tries to hold on. Needing to act fast Frank darts inside the ring and breaks up the submission just in time as Garland scowls. Rech goes to slap Smith to get his attention but showing surpisingly fast reflexes Smith decks Rech right in the jaw to the delight of the crowd. Rech scurries back on the ground in a hurry with his eyes wide.
Robertson: Nice shot Smith! Didn’t know you had it in you!
The referee gets in Frank’s face telling him to go back in his corner but instead of risk having Smart isolated even further Frank Washington drags him back to his corner! Frank goes back on the outside and reaches forward to tag himself in. Williams tags in Garland as the crowd roars as the both rivals are finally legal in the match. Garland charges forward and gets hit with belly to belly suplex, he gets back up to his feet and goes for the Brain Damage looking to catch Washington off guard but misses as Washington ducks out of the way, countering with a german suplex! Washington manages to hold on and hits Garland with a second german suplex as he drags him up to his feet! Washington still manages to hold on as he lifts him up for the third and final german suplex as he releases him with authority into the turnbuckle!
Smith: That last one may have really hurt Robert Garland!
Robertson: No shit Sherlock, a german suplex into a turnbuckle stings like none other! Garland is finally getting a taste of his own medicine.
Smith: I’m surprised you’re staying impartial.
Robertson: I’ll be honest; I just want to see these two beat the hell out of each other.
Frank Washington calls for the end as he first puts Robert Garland into the surfboard position, wrenching his arms back as he mpsoitions his arm over his head, locking in the modified dragon sleeper he calls the Black Halo. Garland screams in pain but to his benefit happened to be very close to the ropes as Washington neglected to move him closer to the center of the ring. With veteran Instinct Garland manages to reach out and grab hold of the middle rope as the crowd booes, anctipating the breaking of the hold.
Smith: Frank Washington almost had this match won but failed to drag him to the center first, Garland is going to slither out of this one!
Robertson: I’m not sure he gives a damn to be honest, it’s not characteristic of Frank Washington to overlook a detail like this. He’s not looking to win the match, he’s looking for revenge!
Much like Robertson called Washington continues to keep the hold locked in despite the ropebreak. The referee tries several times to get Frank Washington to break the hold, tapping him on the shoulder and trying to pry him off but the hold is locked in tight. The referee finally has no choice but to start the 5 count.
2!
3!
4!
5!
Referee: Ring the bell!
The bell rings as the hold STILL isn’t broken as Garland starts fading quickly.
Barbara Braman: Here are your winners as a result of a disqualification Chris Williams and Robert Garland!
Smith: Frank Washington has snapped! He’s finally had enough of Badger’s crap!
Much to Rechs chagrin the crowd is on their feet cheering as Garland finally gets a dose of his own medicine but those cheers would soon turn to booes as Chris Williams comes in for the save, clocking Frank Washington with the Pure Championship Trophy! Daniel Smart goes to even the odds but Rech grabs a steel chair from ringside and nails him in the back as he gets on the apron! The bell continues to ring as all order has been lost. Garland makes it back up to his feet as the trio now continue to stomp on Frank Washington, Rech uses the chair to press down on his throat as the crowd is livid.
Smith: This is absolutely sickening! Somebody needs to stop this
Robertson: You might as well be praying for a miracle at this point, Garland is going to finally finish the job he started at Back to Basics!
Almost as if on cue "Coming Home" by Avenged Sevenfold hit the PA system as the crowd suddenly burst in the cheers as Drew Stevenson and Scotty Addams sprinted down the ramp. Williams, Garland and Rech deciding they’ve done enough damage quickly retreat from the ring just as Stevenson and Addams entered the ring. Williams, Garland and Rech wisely retreat over the fan barricade as Stevenson grabs a microphone.
Drew Stevenson: I've seen seeing you continuing to try and screw Frank at every turn. I've been seeing you make Frank carry you through the tag team tournament carry you through the title match, which you did surprise me there, Garland, but yet here you are again, doing it again but with Chris Williams on your team this time and frankly? I'VE HAD ENOUGH! So here's what we're going to do. In two weeks at Unstoppable #14, we'll have Scotty Addams and Frank Washington teaming up with ME in their corner, against this new team of Robert Garland and Chris Williams with Travis Rech in your corner. Enjoy the night while you can, because in two weeks you get a taste of Joker's Wild!
Smith: What a blockbuster announcement! The Jokers Wild are back in MSW!
The Boneyard With Johnny B.
Returning from commercial break, Headstones’ “Son of a Bitch to the Core” was already playing, but fades out several moments later. Inside the ring, a skull and crossbones motif, along with the presence of the man fresh from his first tag-title defense, The Johnimant Species, aka Johnny B.!
The fans cheer on as The Pre-Millennium Wrestler begins to speak…
Johnny B.: “LLLLet me make one thing perfectly clear to everyone who can see me and hear my words: The Johnny proudly presents to you… right here, right now, for reals this time… the return of The Boneyard!”
The fans pop for the second installment of The Johnny’s in-ring interview show.
Johnny B.: “After well over a month since my first-ever show, Yours Truly’s been pounding the pavement trying to find for you all a guest that’d be thought-provoking… a guest that’d bring my show some controversy-cred… a guest that'd make Roderick the Bagpiper proud!”
The fans are pretty excited; there’s been murmurs throughout the IWC about the men soon to make their presences known. Many questions needed answering. This will prove to be a volatile environment, best suited to the man currently holding up a finger to regain the fans’ attentions..
Johnny B.: “And, my absence from this show has absolutely, positively nothing to do with that leprechaun Artemis Kaiser! ‘Champion for Life’? Champion this!”
He flips the camera the reverse-peace sign, aka the British-style “finger”. The fans boo the name of their most-solipsistic ofWomen of Tradition Champions.
Johnny B.: “Some say that my show’s too dangerous to be on, others say they'd only come on to finish the job Art-Art did last time! Hey, she said not to call her ‘Artie’, and I didn’t! Anyway, as far as tonight’s guest goes, maybe this video package will bring you up to speed:”
He cooly points two fingers towards the big screen, and the lights dim. A video montage of the current MSW Champion airs,quickly rifling through his climb to the top of Missouri State, and ending with the events of Back 2 Basics… and the arrival of Legacy’s own difference-maker… Talen Decaine.
The video ends, the lights come back on, and the fans are left equal parts concerned and irritated towards the situation. The Johnny nods understandingly.
Johnny B.: “Yeah, I agree! I agree. I've been as curious as you all as to what in the actual fuck is going on here in MSW these days! To that end, my two-for-the-price-of-one guests tonight, the man making his debut at Unstoppable… Legacy’s own Decaine… and the latest person to become a, err, Decaine Guy… still the MSW Champion… Bryce Manning!”
It didn't take long once JBC’s announcement was made for “Sound of Madness” by Shinedown to kick in over the PA—and moving through the curtain with very little hesitation was the scourge of MSW.. Decaine. Dressed in a pinstripe suit, Decaine held the MSW Championship over his own shoulder as then we see Bryce Manning. Of course getting a HUGE round of boos from the crowd in the Kansas City Repertory Theater, Bryce was all smiles as he made sure to keep his black hood attached to his zipped hoodie pulled up above his head. Decaine led the way with the title in his possession, all as both men neared the ring, Bryce hopped onto the ring apron and got into it—Decaine took the steps- then also entered the ring. JBC was watching both men closely, all as Bryce reached out and was handed a mic from a staff member around the ring.. causing the music to cut.
Bryce Manning: “This is it? The Boneyard? This is what I volunteered for?”
JBC nodded, all as Bryce smirked.
Bryce Manning: “Alright.. So where do we start Johnny? Do I need to spell out the reason why I decided to align myself with Talen Decaine again? I mean it’s not THAT hard to understand if you look at the big picture..”
Johnny B.: “Does that ‘big picture’ you speak of involve being absolutely terrified of defending the MSW Championship on your own!?”
The fans popped for Bonecrusher’s remark, all as Bryce took a second to take it all in.. and with a smirk still etched across his face- Bryce shrugged.
Bryce Manning: “Well, that’s your opinion Johnny and I do respect it. Doesn’t make it any more WRONG, but nonetheless.. It’s yours. You wanna know my opinion though? Since we’re on topic of ‘fear’ why is it that the only gold you've held in this company came off the luxury of knowing you've got a partner ready and available to bail your ass out of trouble when it happens, cause we all know who the weak link is.”
Fans let off a “ahhhhhhhhhh” from Bryce’s comment, all as Bryce continued.
Bryce Manning: “I mean do you think it’s hard to be a tag team champion? I could call Tommy Angel out here right now and we’d take those tag titles from you and Yugo in seconds..”
Doing what he does best, Decaine leaned in and snapped his fingers.
Decaine: “Seconds.”
Bryce Manning: “We can play the back and forth game all day Johnny, it doesn’t make a difference to me. You’ve got A LOT more chinks in the armor than I do.. Which is why I’m the MSW Champion and you’re ONE HALF of the tag team champions. I’m not a mathematician by any means but I have my own title I don’t share it with someone who’s quite possibly the biggest underachiever in this promotion.”
Bonecrusher had the odd ability to NOT show if he’s insulted and rather, to make things out to be one big joke- as he was doing now. Laughing off the MSW Champion’s insults—Bonecrusher nodded.
Johnny B.: “Awesome. You know what’s also a cool little detail that you forgot to mention that totally separates us from you? We didn't need the help of a washed-up car-salesman like Decaine!”
Bryce gazed in Decaine’s direction all as Decaine asked for the mic, which he was handed. As Decaine dusted the microphone off and also wore a smirk across his face, Decaine cleared his throat and looked up at Bonecrusher.
Decaine: “In case you don’t know who I am, please.. allow me to introduce myself. My name is Talen Decaine, and I represent the MSW Heavyweight Champion, Bryce Manning. Now, I could continue the mud-slinging, Mister Bonecrusher, but why? Why stoop to that level? What do I get out of it? Obviously I’m aligned with a winner if I’m currently carrying the MSW Heavyweight Championship while you’re simply.. a tag team champion.”
Johnny brushes off the continuous comments regarding him and his team and his titles, with a confused expression on his face, his eyes turned to the side, and his hands held upwards in that “what the fuck?” sort of way. He slowly raises his arm, only for it to come swooping down quickly, snatching away the microphone from the now-former Legacy Wrestling blight.
Johnny B.: “Well! I'm so glad to have brought you both onto my show! Totally an eye-opener! I’d like to remind the fans out here that this alliance isn't as obvious as it may seem on the surface. It wasn't that long ago that you two were at each other’s throats, am I right? So why here? Why now?”
Bryce raised his brow and scratched at the side of his head as Decaine shrugged, moving as if he was going to step past JBC to retrieve a microphone, Bryce followed in Bonecrusher’s movement and SNATCHED the mic back.
Bryce Manning: “You've got the wrong two people. Decaine and I have always been friends, I think you've taken one too many knocks on the noggin’ Bonecrusher. It doesn't surprise me though, you’re as stupid as you look. I should of known by us appearing on this would be a total waste of time.. I mean really, what’s the point? Do you really expect me to stand here in front of you and the rest of the jackasses in attendance that obviously don't respect me to take time out of MY schedule to explain everything? Hm?”
Moving towards JBC, Bryce took it one step further and actually SLAMMED the mic into JBC’s chest and shoved him backwards lightly, all as the MSW Fans watched on..
Johnny B.: “Hehe, careful with that mic there, buddy… So, uh, yeah? Always been friends, huh? Okay, stick with that story. I mean, after all, Mister Decaine there is a reliable and trustworthy friend. He was a supporter of your boss and mine, Drew Stevenson, albeit in Legacy, it’s true. Say, what ever happened to Legacy, huh? Just think about that one.”
Not exactly knowing where The Johnny was going with his latest stream of statements, they remain relatively silent, engrossed at the first-ever back and forth for these two champions.
Johnny B.: “Meanwhile, hey! How rude of me! Congats on your latest title defense there! What was that, like, 97 days in the making? Hmm? It took you just over three months to defend that title? Yeah? Meanwhile, The Bonecrushing Phailous are going from Back 2 Basics to Unstoppable 13, from challengers to champions… in the span of two weeks? Mm! Mm!! But hey, that hardly matters, as we’re just a pair of flash in the pans anyway, right?
So I guess my next question actually is… what are your thoughts on finally breaking Peyton Kaiser? Pride? Shame? It’s pride, right?”
Johnny takes the mic into his right hand, backs up, and lobs it over Manning’s head and out of the ring. He then motions for the MSW Champ to go fetch it, much to the delight of the fans in attendance.
Decaine: “That is absolutely NO way to treat YOUR Missouri State Wrestling Heavyweight Champion!”
Barely audible from the crowd’s roar, Decaine spoke loud enough to catch JBC’s attention all as a stagehand moved around the ring post and handed it to Decaine, then back towards Bryce all as The Jersey Devil fired a cold glare in JBC’s direction.
Bryce Manning: “Nevermind LEGACY, it’s not important. What happened, happened- and all you need to do is focus on the here and now. A light jab at the 97 days it took to defend my title.. Funny. You know why it took three months to make that match? Because people are afraid to step in the ring with me- people don’t want to leave broken like Peyton Von Kaiser Licht. I single handedly crushed who he was and what he did.. And you’re damn right I am proud of it, because now Peyton can forget about being a stupid little clown like YOU whose entire purpose in life is to entertain these assholes here..”
Pointing around the arena, the crowd of course let off another round of boos.
Bryce Manning: “Madness.. Johnny, is a lot like gravity, all it takes is a little..”
Bryce pushed the air with his right hand, all as Decaine laughed in back of him.
Bryce Manning: “.. push.. and you get results. What’s the next topic of conversation? The color of my boxers? Do you wanna know if I sleep with 2 or 3 pillows? If I think the chicken or the egg came first?”
With another shrug, Bryce turned the handle of the mic towards Bonecrusher and handed it off towards him, as Johnny went to grab it, Bryce purposely dropped it and watched it fall at his feet as he smiled. Johnny nods, accepting that reaction. He carefully scoops the mic up, never taking his eyes off Manning.
Johnny B.: “You know, I’d believe your explanation of why you went so long not defending your title, had I not noticed practically everyone saying they were gunning for your title all this time! What does it take, Manning? To be as good as you, because you yourself say that’s impossible. Yet, you still have to defend that title of yours!”
He says this last bit as he wraps on the belt buckle with a single knuckle.
Johnny B.: “So, then what? Was Salman Van Dam not worthy? How about Frank Washington? Leo Banks, Matt Ward? Hmm? Because I just bet I could run off the names of everyone in MSW’s past, present, and - dare I say? - future, and you'd still turn your nose up at those suggestions!”
The fans cheer, seemingly agreeing with The Pre-Millennium Wrestler. What they should understand is, one title defense or 100, Bryce Manning wasn't anyone to trifle with.
Johnny B. raised a single finger to garner the attention of the crowd.
Johnny B.: “I got a name for you, though! Pretty decent wrestler, been around the block once or twice, you might have heard of him.”
Manning yanks the mic in his direction.
Bryce Manning: “Surely you don’t mean YOU, do you?!”
He releases his grip on the mic as he turns to Decaine, who looks amused by the idea. His external disrespected for The Johnimant Species incited him to share a laugh with his manager. The fans boo this blatant disrespect, but The Johnny just shrugs.
Johnny B.: “Well… yeah! I did!”
The fans go nuts at this prospect; they're surprised this match hasn't happened yet, and the thought it was a possibility appealed to them greatly.
Johnny B.: “Hell, don’t even put that li’l belty-belt on the line there, I don't give a fuck, actually! I just want the opportunity to take your pride, shove it up your ass, tie you into a pretzel, and deliver you, Johnny Special-style to your old pal Decaine there! Just an ol’ fashioned wrasslin’ match, bud, that’s all I ask for. So whatya say? I'm face-ta-face with ya, I ain't runnin’, you're in front of all these people wanting, asking, begging for you to say yes! Now, I know you don’t give a shit about them, so consider this: don't you want to try to put me in my place… champ?”
He then drives the mic into Manning’s chest, much like the champ did earlier. The fans have gone berserk by this point, chanting“Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!” With Bryce moving backwards from the amount of power JBC put while he drove that mic into Bryce’s chest, the champ turned his body at the last second and fumbled the mic as he let his eyes fall on JBC.
Bryce Manning: “A challenge.. from you?”
Decaine called his client toward him as the two huddled-- Bonecrusher looked in the crowd’s direction and pumped his arms in the air, getting them to roar louder.. and louder.. and louder until Bryce turned around and looked him square in the eye-
Bryce Manning: “.. God no.”
Bryce Manning: “I don't have time to be taking place in charity matches because I feel sorry for someone like you! You're not on my level, hell.. You're at the BOTTOM. You're the lowest of lows, I’d rather defend my championship against Jorge Santos!”
The crowd didn't seem to appreciate Bryce ‘ducking’ JBC’s challenge.
Bryce Manning: “DO YOU PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF A PECKING ORDER?! OF THE FOOD-CHAIN?! I.. AM.. ABOVE.. EVERYONE! I’m on the top of the pyramid looking down, I OWN THE FOOD CHAIN! Everyone under contract to Missouri State Wrestling is pretty much under contract to ME and I do what I want, when I want with you talentless hacks! Salman Van Dam!? C’MON! Frank Washington!? HE DOESN'T WANT ANY OF ME! Leo Banks!? He doesn't know what day it is! Matt Ward?! I’D SHRED THE PISSBURY DOUGH BOY!”
Bryce’s words were being fired forward like venom now, all as he kept his eyes on JBC still.
Bryce Manning: “I didn't come out here tonight to waste my time and be disrespected by you HACKS! You SMARKS! I don’t need to take this kind of verbal abuse from ANYONE! None of you are worthy- NONE of you capable of matching me on ANY level.. and more importantly-- none of you matter- not you- fat boy in the front..”
Turning away from JBC, Bryce pointed at a heavier set fan seated in the front row with a white board that read “BONECRUSH’D” in black and red letters. The fan flipped Bryce off as The Jersey Devil turned and pointed at another random fan.
Bryce Manning: “Or you! Slutface McAssface!”
This insult was directed towards an middle-aged blonde woman.
Bryce Manning: “NONE OF YOU MATTER! NOT EVEN YOU!”
In true Hulk Hogan fashion, the second Bryce said “YOU” he pointed at JBC.
Bryce Manning: “You SURE as hell don't matter. You think you’re able to coax me into giving you a free shot at the champ!? You don't step into the ring with Ali ‘cause you think you can box! You EARN your shot at the greatest wrestling champion of the last DECADE.. So if you want to show me how good you are- or if you want me to put you in your ‘place’ I suggest you start from the bottom- go jerk the curtain with Matt Ward and Chris Williams for a few weeks, then we'll talk.
Decaine broke into a hysterical round of laughter after that was said, all as Bryce nodded.
Bryce Manning: “.. Until then? I think we're done here.”
Bryce didn't bother being an asshole, he had done enough of that this evening already. Instead, he sarcastically tossed the microphone over towards JBC, JBC caught it as Bryce and Decaine broke into standing applause for JBC showing that he WAS capable of doing more than one task at a time “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk hits the arena as Daniel Smart still worn out from his match emerges from the back with a microphone in hand.
Daniel Smart: Honestly I think it’s funny that the “champ” keeps trying to duck out of title defenses, first he ducks out of a rematch with yours truly by assaulting me backstage and now when confronted by another challenger he just backs away like a coward. The MSW Champion is supposed to be the best wrestler in the entire company, taking on and repelling all challengers but instead of defending that title with honor you show just how insecure and scared you really are. But we’re going to end Unstoppable on a high note tonight because I just got done talking to Drew Stevenson. You and I are finally going to have our rematch at Unstoppable 15 with the title on the line, and as far as I’m concerned I would be honored to defend my title against Johnny B. as my first title defense in the event I win. So I suggest Bryce, that you take that used car salesman of yours, jump in your jalopy and log onto healthcare.gov because you’re going to need some damn good insurance after I knock out on the mat with the Knee-DS and pin you for a three count!
