LEGACY Wrestling Presents: Independence Day

LEGACY Wrestling Presents: Independence Day (7/5/14)

@ The Carson Community Center

w/ Len Ragatti & Tracy Race on Commentary

Preview & Card Summary

A day after America's birthday-- July 5th of 2014-- LEGACY Wrestling will be BACK in the Carson Community Center and somehow, will look to provide the same amount of action and twists as it's debut show; Friday the 20th provided. A shocking evening that seen many newcomers get their shot in the light-- as well as saw the return of old faces, probably THEE shocker of the night came when Alyssa Pryde completely MASHED Petey Bauer.. only to be confronted and then.. swerved in distraction, leaving Drew Stevenson to put down a brutal assault.. and then siding with his [once] enemy-- now agent, Decaine in what proves to be a match made in hell.

Featured on Independence Day though will be a much more straight forward wrestling extravaganza, the triple threat and four-way dance matches cease to exist. Kicking the evening off we look to new blood to get us going as Hayden Phoenix is a BRIGHT prospect in the business-- and he'll clash with Ian Windermear who's looking to get on track after the beat down WASTE provided him with. Phoenix is said to be the next 'breakout star' so testing him against Ian Windermear, who was seconds away from putting Matt Ward down in Ward's own environment will no doubt be something to see!

Recently returned Matt Matlock, who chased Drew Stevenson off at the end of the evening on Friday the 20th will make his in-ring debut against new-comer, Silas Romero. Matlock is a vet that's been around for a while, despite being away from the ring for a while we doubt ring-rust has set in. He squares off against the tattooed bad boy, Silas Romero who considers himself 'The Knockout Supreme'. Will Matlock manage to work up some momentum as he charges forward to continue his path after Matlock or will Romero manage to.. 'knockout' Matlock's inspiration and make a name for himself in LEGACY in the process?

In the only 'special attraction' match of the evening.. After the mini-brawl Brixton and AAG was involved in at Friday the 20th, Bonecrusher and AAG PLEADED with LEGACY Officials that they have the same opportunity to get a handicap match.. and their wish was granted. We'll see Adrian Abernanthy Gates with Johnny Bonecrusher take on Terry John who was featured in a 4-Way Dance and lost-- and Ryan Hawkins, a 'pro' in handicap matches despite being DOMINATED by Brixton-- as the two look to try their luck as a partnership to take down The Gentlemen's Thug.

'Above Average' Joe Cooper, a newcomer to LEGACY wants to quickly pick up where he left off over in LEGACY's affiliate-- ICWA and what better opportunity than to face off against 'The Showstealer' Alex Andrews? Despite Andrews finding himself in a tough place against Bulldozer Brixton on Friday the 20th, he has a shot at redemption as he battles Cooper in a match that could shoot either one of these individuals into the spotlight!

WASTE.. LEGACY's antivenom was on a roll at Friday the 20th, Not only did they shock the masses by securing Cameron Kaiser as a member, but with the vicious beatings of Ian Windermear and Masen Dysen, they cemented themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Kevin Moss had a few words with Petey Bauer-- words that The Brass didn't appreciate and thus-- he finds himself in his debut against Aiden Marx-- one of the ruthless members of WASTE!

Putting on a hell of a show against Scotty Addams in what was a hotly contested match up, with an assist from Zarek Lyle, Joey Edwards managed a disqualification win. This time, again with his manager Richard Steen-- Edwards looks to tangle with another LEGACY newcomer, Mike Harrison. Not much is known about Harrison around these parts but he's willing and eager to get his career going.. who better to test his ability against, than The Spokesman of the Generation?!

Ruby Red-- or as Christian Othniel coined her-- 'The Crimson Queen' comes hot off the heels of victory last week after taking down Zoe-- and looks to continue her winning ways against newcomer-- Rina Kirilos. Much like Bobby Langford and Matt Ward, these two couldn't be ANY more different. While Ruby will use WHATEVER advantage she can find to secure victory- Rina is traditional and will work her butt off to make sure she wins.. What'll happen when these two clash!?

The fallout of the 4-Way Dance where BOTH men were declared winners, Noah Adelaide didn't appreciate Kaiser and WASTE's actions after when they sidelined Masen Dysen in a brutal attack.. so after the match? Noah made it clear that he wants Cameron Kaiser one on one-- whether or not that happens with WASTE lurking around every corner remains to be seen- but Noah has Frank Washington in his corner-- he's DEFINITELY an equalizer.

Bobby Langford picked up a HUGE victory over Brandon Marks in the Triple Threat Match-- despite his on-going feud with Christian Othniel-- LEGACY Officials wanted to see Langford in a totally different element.. which is why he finds himself squared off against Matt Ward-- member of WASTE. Langford and Ward's styles are TOTALLY different, Langford, an athlete will battle Ward, a fighter-- in what maybe the show stealer of the evening.

And featured in the second main event slot in a month-- With the shocking conclusion of Friday the 20th as Decaine siding with his long time nemesis Drew Stevenson and partially the reason why Alyssa Pryde snapped and thus was suspended indefinitely by Petey Bauer, Stevenson and Decaine look to tangle with a familiar foe in Duke Andrews. With Decaine's new-found partnership with Drew make him stronger than he already was.. or will Duke Andrews find a way to upset The Emerald?

Also Featuring: Zarek Lyle made his STUNNING return and cost his long time tag team partner and once best friend Scotty Addams his match against Joey Edwards. Both Zarek AND Scotty will be on hand on Saturday the 5th a night where Zarek has asked for an open mic and wants to address LEGACY. Look for Christian Othniel to have some sort of interaction as well, after his near battle with Bobby Langford, it can't be over between the two. It's unknown whether or not Alyssa Pryde will attempt to test Bauer's indefinite suspension he put down on her after she attacked him-- also, look for Bulldozer Brixton-- THE TITAN-- that completely DOMINATED his match as he will be watching closely as Adrian Abernanthy Gates attempts to do the same.. And also, expect to see The Treborns and Lozios on hand- whether or not they can keep away from each other after that nail-biting battle remains to be seen! All this and MORE.. at Independence Day on July 5th, 2014!

Intro

"Ladies and gentlemen.. Peter 'The Brass' Bauer.."

Unlike two weeks ago, there wasn't a theme that'd hit as it wasn't a moment of celebration. After the beating he took from the hands of Alyssa Pryde when he placed a ban on inter-gender wrestling, there was speculation on if Bauer would be able to get to the show, let alone successfully fulfill the tasks his job entails. Emerging from behind the curtain to a round of boos from the crowd, we see Petey Bauer rocking a gray colored suit, black dress shirt beneath and of course black dress shoes. With a limp, Bauer paused at the top of the ramp and nodded at the boos, almost as if he he was hearing something totally different than what was being sounded- Bauer's right hand reached up and grabbed at the neck-brace around his neck, all as across his forehead was a huge white bandage that covered the wound Pryde inflicted.

Len Ragatti: Seems like Mister Bauer managed to make the show afterall!

Tracy Race: To say Alyssa Pryde snapped would be a total understatement, I see what Stevenson meant by saying he didn't feel comfortable being in the same place with her at the same time. I'm not the biggest Bauer supporter by any means but she WRECKED him at Friday the 20th.

Crutch by crutch, Bauer made his way down the aisle that lead to the ramp, fans pointed and laughed in his direction which let a frown move across Bauer's face-- he was no doubt hurting from that attack. Using the steps provided to the left of the ring, Bauer slowly moved himself up all as he reached the ring apron- barking an order at Rob Hendricks, Hendricks hurried over and opened the ropes for The Brass, allowing him to get into the ring and move to the center. Snatching the mic away from Hendricks, Bauer stood dead center as he let his eyes scan the arena, the frown didn't move across of his face it remained as sour as ever. Moving the mic towards his lips gingerly, he flinched in pain-

Petey Bauer: You're too kind, really..

Tracy Race: "Yeah.. That's a pretty confirming chant over what the fans think regarding Bauer and his decisions.."

"BAUER SUCKS! BAUER SUCKS! BAUER SUCKS!"

Tracy Race: ".. absolutely.. BOOMING!"

Petey Bauer: "After.. The sacrifice I made to be here tonight, this is how you repay me!? You treat me in THIS manner!? I've done nothing but lead LEGACY down a great path since Friday the 20th! The promotion's name is at the tip of tongues across the world and yet, you're saying I suck!?"

Tracy Race: "Insult the man all he wants but he DOES have a point there. Even if his decision last week to ban inter-gender matches- which lead to Pryde attacking him and then Decaine stunning the world by pulling a fast one and running distraction long enough for Drew Stevenson to do some damage."

Len Ragatti: "Anyone that knows the history between the two.. that's a totally.. 'wow' kind of move."

"BAUER SUCKS! BAUER SUCKS! BAUER SUCKS!"

Petey Bauer: "I d- I DON'T SUCK!"

"BAUER SUCKS! BAUER SUCKS! BAUER SUCKS!"

Beginning to get red in the face, Bauer- out of complete habit, scratched the side of his neck in a rigors manner, all as he shook his head-

Petey Bauer: "My doctor told me to stay off of my feet! To stay at home and rest! To get some peace and quiet but I told him 'No, I can't do that to MY people' and 'my people' are you people! Each and everyone of you, no matter how disrespectful and ungrateful you come across!"

"WE WANT ALYSSA!" clap, clap- clap, clap, clap "WE WANT ALYSSA!" clap, clap- clap, clap, clap "WE WANT ALYSSA!" clap, clap- clap, clap, clap

Scrunching his nose, Bauer looked totally disgusted at the chants thrown in his direction. Moving the mic, again in a gingerly fashion away from his lips, Bauer balanced on his crutches and cocked his head back as far as the neck-brace would allow, the chants didn't seem to be quieting down, only getting louder at this point. A camera swirled around the arena at the HUGE show of appreciation Alyssa managed to get despite being suspended, all as Bauer raised the mic back up-

Petey Bauer: "WELLLLLLL, YA NOT GONNA GET HER!"

Len Ragatti: "Aw, come on Bauer!"

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Petey Bauer: "You know why you're not gonna get her?! Because *I* SUSPENDED HER!"

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Petey Bauer: "And I enjoyed every.. single.. second of it! Watching her get LASHED like the INSIGNIFICANT WASTE OF SPACE SHE IS! I loved watching Drew Stevenson break that kendo stick across her back.. I thought she was so hardcore!? I thought she liked to 'eat people's faces'!? The only thing she ate was her stupid words after Drew got the best of her!"

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Petey Bauer: "But you know why I COULDN'T miss tonight? Not because I've got HUGE announcements to make regarding the future of LEGACY Wrestling's Championships, but because I decided on something- I made a huge decision, well two huge decisions- both of which will impact the future going forth. The first.. Alyssa Pryde, yes Alyssa- remove that barbed-wire bat from in between your legs and toss aside the paint thinner, love. I told you last week that you were indefinitely suspended for what you did to me- which.. by the way was nearly break my neck and left me with a hundred and ninety five stitches across my forehead from you trying to EAT MY FACE!"

The camera zoomed in on a shot of Bauer's forehead which was heavily bandaged, all as he continued.

Petey Bauer: ".. so as I was laying, helplessly I may add in my hospital bed.. subjected to third-rate meals and watery Jello, an idea struck me.. What if-- I lift Alyssa Pryde's suspension? What if I do what you people want and actually LIFT the suspension IMMEDIATELY!?"

"YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Petey Bauer: "So I had that idea and I tinkered with it-- and you know what? I came to the conclusion that maybe my actions, they deserve a different resolution. So-- not because I feel as if you people deserve it, because let's face it, for a few more hundred bucks a night we could of been running this show out of a MUCH better arena in Santa Monica--"

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Petey Bauer: "I decided.. As off tonight, Alyssa Pryde's status is hereby changed from indefinitely suspended back to being an active competitor!"

Len Ragatti: "W- W- WHAT?!"

The fans POPPED at the sound of that, all as Bauer let off a huge exhale, knowing that he did the the 'right thing' by the fans, even if he, himself didn't see it that way.

Petey Bauer: "Yeah, you enjoy that-- soak it all up.. take it all on, pause for a brief second and bask in the moment.. Because as fast as I brought her back from the brink of extinction- I'm putting her back there as effectively even MORE immediately- ALYSSA PRYDE.. YOU'RE FIRED! TERMINATED! DONE! YOU'LL NEVER WRESTLE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AGAIN!"

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Len Ragatti: ".. wow."

Pumped up now, Bauer nodded.

Petey Bauer: "YOU'RE NOTHING! A NOBODY! SCUM! AND THERE'S NO PLACE ON THIS ROSTER OR IN THIS COMPANY FOR SOMEONE- NO, SOMETHING LIKE YOU! EXPECT YOUR TERMINATION PAPERS TO BE DELIVERED VIA USPS, NOT EVEN UPS! NO FEDEX! IT'S NOT EVEN FIRST CLASS, SO SUCK ON THAT!"

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Petey Bauer: "Yeah, NOW you boo. Now you jeer! I just took someone you held on a pedestal and slapped them off like the useless WOMAN she is! And that's not even a knock against any of the ladies we've got here- that's nothing against Ruby Red who I find to be an exquisite talent! That's a knock against the delusional Alyssa Pryde who thought she could put her grungy paws on ME and get away with it! EH- EH! Tell me how the unemployment office is when you get there Pryde- as a matter of fact, I'll do you one better- once you're there, you'll find out that I'm giving you a HORRIBLE review from ex-employer.. I guess it's back to the high school gyms and trampolines for you!"

Tracy Race: "I don't know if Pryde knocked something loose in Bauer's head but he's steamrollin' tonight! The guy is RAGING!"

Petey Bauer: "Now that.. THAT'S out of the way- next announcement, something far more important than the face-eater who had her career eaten by an ICON.."

"DREW SUCKS! DREW SUCKS! DREW SUCKS!"

Petey Bauer: ".. I believe I said that I was going to introduce the idea behind the championships here in LEGACY-"

"YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The fans gave Bauer a pretty sizable pop for the mention at the championships, all as Bauer shook his head and exhaled deeply.

Petey Bauer: "You people are totally bi-polar, aren't you?"

"YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Petey Bauer: "Anyway.. I'm proud to say.."

Slipping a pause into his words, Bauer smirked as he shook his head.

Petey Bauer: ".. nah. You're not worthy of the announcements at this time and place. Maybe at the NEXT show I'll decide to give you the scoops. Until then? I LOVE YOU ALL!"

George Thorogood & The Destroyers - Bad To The Bone

The fans- despite hitting Bauer with a HEAVY round of boo's stopped DEAD in their tracks once that iconic intro to 'Bad to the Bone' by George Thorogood blasted over the PA. Bauer's smirk evolved into a FULL-FLEDGED smile as he applauded lightly, all as moving through the curtain- a man who's hair was as out of control as his beard was.. the look in his eye, his tattered clothing and everything about him read.. INSANE..

Len Ragatti: "WH- WHAT IS HE DOING HERE!?"

Staring into the camera with his mouth [sorta] open-

Tracy Race: "What the.. I- Is that.. 'Perfectly Sane' Maxwell Schneider?!"



Surely, it was. 'Perfectly Sane' Maxwell Schneider had faded from wrestling glory over the past few years, his whereabouts unknown.. up until now. Marching down to the ring, Schneider rolled beneath the bottom rope and pushed himself up, Bauer stretched his hand out- but Schneider didn't bother with a handshake, instead he pulled the MUCH shorter Petey Bauer into him and locked him in.. what was supposed to be an affectionate hug that was more like a crippling, spine straightening bear-hug. As Bauer let off a LOUD yell, Schneider let Bauer go, all as Bauer grabbed at his back with his free hand while the theme cut off the PA as he winced but raised the mic back to his lips.

Petey Bauer: "Instead of giving you insignificant clowns the satisfaction of being in the 'in-group' of knowing what the future plans is with the LEGACY Championships- how about if I do you ALLLLLLLLL a favor and introduce you to my NEW-- head of personal security, the one.. the only.. 'Perfectly Sane'.. Maxwell Schneider. Let's see Alyssa Pryde get crazy now!"

"MAX- WELL- SCHNEI- DER!" clap, clap- clap, clap, clap "MAX- WELL- SCHNEI- DER!" clap, clap- clap, clap, clap "MAX- WELL- SCHNEI- DER!" clap, clap- clap, clap, clap

Petey Bauer: "I've given this man a job to ensure my safety

Schneider's crazy look didn't fade, he continued to look on-edge, all as Bauer smiled, nodded and tossed the microphone over his shoulder- allowing 'Bad to the Bone' to kick in again.

Len Ragatti: "Bauer has a certified PSYCHOPATH as his bodyguard?! Does he have a deathwish!?"

Tracy Race: ".. unorthodox but I can see why. You can never be too safe, Ragatti- who's going to attempt to make a move at you when you've got THAT crazy bastard getting paid to protect your best interests?!"

With the fans in a frenzy from cheering on the returning Maxwell Schneider, to booing Petey Bauer for gypping them of news regarding the championships, 'Perfectly Sane' made sure Bauer let the ring and followed him up the aisle as the two would eventually disappear behind the curtain.. what a way to kick the show off..

Treborns' Promo

Opening up on the smug face of Prince Treborn, we find actually BOTH of the Treborns [Prince and Ripper] sitting not too far apart from each other in the back of The Carson Community Center somewhere. Prince had a bottle of Fruit Punch flavored Gatorade in his hands, all as Ripper was tanking a bottle of water.

Prince Treborn: "This should be great entertainment- two shows in a roll.. two failures.. What a bunch of losers."

Taking a gulp from the bottle, Ripper tipped it in Prince's direction.

Ripper Treborn: "I don't know how many times we've said it, the Lozios are the lowest of the low. They won't understand until they see it for themselves, I'm glad Miles is going to go out there and take a stab at a solo career, it'll only make what we say come to be MUCH faster."

Prince Treborn: "No doubt Rip.. Oh.. Well, hey.."

The camera suddenly panned backwards and there-- standing about four to five feet away from where The Treborns were seated, we see Dante Lozio. As built and ripped as Dante was, despite his physique, he still didn't have a grasp on his true potential and promise-- all as he rolled his shoulders forward.

Dante Lozio: "I think it's time someone told you guys this to your faces.."

Amused as told by the expressions etched across their faces, Prince and Ripper smirked and looked back at Dante, all as Prince took a step forward not before Ripper could put his right arm in front of his smaller- but much more ballsy cousin before something went down-

Ripper Treborn: "Spit it out."

Dante Lozio: "We've gotta talk- no cameras- nothing crazy-- just man to man."

Taken back by Dante's sudden turn of interest to actually SPEAK to Prince and Ripper, the cousins exchanged looks again all as Ripper moved his arm away from Prince's chest, as Prince nodded and pointed beyond the camera and looking towards it.

Prince Treborn: "You heard the man, get the hell out of here before we break your legs."

The camera man didn't want to test the words of the three who stood in a tense environment.. as he left- the door was heard being SLAMMED behind him all as the camera turned towards the hall before cutting off to a quick round of black- then being replaced by static for a for seconds.. until the camera returned back to ringside where Wayne Williams and Miles Lozio had already gotten into the ring and was standing nose to nose in the center-- exchanging trash talk apparently.

Len Ragatti: "What's THAT about?! The guy's brother is about to have a match that could help get them back on track while he's conversing with the enemy!"

Tracy Race: "You can't hold Dante liable for something that's thirty years old! The kid is what- in his late twenties?! He wasn't even around to see things in it's prime! He wants to talk, maybe hammer out a treaty so BOTH families can move on from this and actually achieve something other than a win against the other side?"

Len Ragatti: "No offense Race, I know you've been around this business for much longer than I have-- but I'm REALLY familiar with these two sides and.. that's what they live for- the ability to KEEP bragging rights on their side.. So yeah, by Dante completely forgetting about his brother during Miles' match to go and chat it up with Prince and Ripper, it's a definite sign of disrespect- it's a slap in the face for not just Miles- but to their father who CO-SIGNED the hatred.. Rocco Lozio!"

Wayne Williams w/ Richard Steen vs. Miles Lozio

It was clear from the sound of the bell that Miles and Wayne both had something to prove here. Williams wanted to make sure that he left a lasting impression with the fans and promotion- Miles on the otherhand already started his LEGACY career off wrong- with a lost, one that set him back [in his mind] and his family.. decades. Both wanted to show that they belonged here tonight as LEGACY was beginning to catch some attention for being that promotion on the brink of blowing up and crashing through that glass ceiling. The match though- it showcased a whole different bunch of skills from both parties. Wayne Williams, the debuting party definitely put on a show for the fans to appreciate despite multiple showings of arrogance. Williams wasn't the only one that managed to get a good showing in though as Miles Lozio, who wasn't restrained by the chains of tag team wrestling showcased his world-class ability on the mat, several times stopping Williams on the mat with submission after submission- he eventually would come close to getting Williams to tap after a BEAUTIFUL show of chain-wrestling which led to Lozio locking in a modified knee-bar.. but Williams fought through and reached the ropes before he could tap. The match pace wasn't very fast, but it wasn't necessarily slow neither. Miles maintained control by keeping Williams OFF of the turnbuckle and OUT of the air where he had the clear-cut advantage. By forcing Williams to actually WRESTLE, something that Miles was trained to do since he was a child, that pushed Williams to engage in a wrestling match, to which he clearly saw he wouldn't win. Williams speed however, was the difference as despite Miles' best attempts to keep the matches going on the mat- Williams would find a way to get things back on HIS side as he was explosive. Any and every irish-whip gave Williams an opportunity to reverse things and get momentum going in HIS favor- whether it was with a huge dropkick or even a flashy quick reversal.. it did the trick. As the match winded on, Miles' strategy seemed to be going as planned, only he completely underestimated Williams' X-Factor; Richard Steen. After Miles managed to reverse Williams and landed a HUUUUUUUGE overhead release German Suplex that folded Williams for a brief second, much like with his other client; Joey Edwards, Steen got himself involved in the battle and caught Miles' attention. Whether or not it was Miles' lack of experience in solo competition- he gave Steen enough of a window to distract him which led to Williams finding his way to his feet- and got a 2 count; near fall, which got things rolling back in Williams' direction. With "LET'S GO MILES" chants breaking out several times during the course of the match. But it seemed like Williams was proving to be TOO tough of a task for the veteran.. Or was he?

Len Ragatti: "WHAT A MATCH! WHAT A WAY TO KICK OFF INDEPENDENCE DAY!"

With Williams recovering from a stiff right hand, Miles was dazed from a enzuguri that Williams fired off and connected with-- but that didn't stop 'The Golden State Warrior'. Pressing on, showing the heart of a warrior- Miles stepped in and let Williams throw another wild right hand which he ducked beneath- as he popped up, he locked Williams in a body-to-body position and with no hesitation, he snapped- plucked Williams OFF of the mat and planted him with a solid suplex.

Tracy Race: "Crisp.. How crisp was that?! Can't throw a better suplex than Miles Lozio!"

One..

Two..

TH- KICKOUT!

Steen looked as if he was about to go absolutely bananas by how close that pin was, but The Wonderman lived up to his nickname and kicked out.

Len Ragatti: "WILLIAMS WITH THE KICKOUT! WILLIAMS WITH THE KICKOUT!"

The match would continue, as it eclipsed the fifteen minute mark, they had fans on their feet, applauding the effort of both men as Miles and Wayne showed that they're far from ordinary scrubs. Ir was however, Richard Steen that proved to be the edge that would push Wayne Williams over- all as Miles Lozio dropped his guard for one second too long..

After a THIRD enziguri connected across the back of Miles' head, he was woozy.. that was a given. But Wayne Williams sent Miles into the ropes as Miles hit it, he came back and looked to throw a pretty stiff clothesline which caused Wayne to duck beneath it. Running into the ref on 'accident'- Official Polanski stumbled off to the side, allowing Steen to quickly hop onto the ring apron as Miles was stretched across of it trying to find a sense of balance and CRACKED Miles across the back of the head with a right hand decorated with brass knuckles..

Len Ragatti: "THAT DIRTY BASTARD!"

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Miles clutched at his head in pain as he fell forward and rolled- Steen dropped down to the ground JUST at the right time and pointed at the fallen Miles Lozio to Wayne Williams- Williams hustled towards the corner, hopped up on the turnbuckle and SOAAAAAAAAAAAARED through the sky, catching some HUGE hangtime in the process as he CRASHED across of Miles Lozio with his variation of the frog-splash he coined 'Victory Denied'.

Tracy Race: "HAAAAAAANGGGGGGGGGGTIMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEE!"

ONE!

Len Ragatti: "DAMN THAT STEEN!"

TWO!

Tracy Race: "Wayne Wilson got froggy!"

..

...

....



Len Ragatti: "DID HE KICK-!?"

THREE!

ding.. ding.. ding

Rob Hendricks: "Yooooooourrrrrrrrr winnerrrrrrrrr.. WWWWWWAYNNNNNNNEEEE.. WWWWWWILLLLLLLLLLLLIAAAAAAAMSSSSSSSSSSS!"

Williams intelligently rolled out of the ring once the bell was hit and dropped to a knee on the outside, all as Steen held his arm up in the air, indicating victory for his associate. Miles rolled off of his back and onto his stomach, the look of frustration in his eye told the whole story over where he was mentally and what'd he become.

Len Ragatti: "Whether we like it or not, record books DON'T indicate how a win is determine, all that's recorded is that a win is a win.. and Steen's interference twice allowed Williams' debut to be successful- much like Steen's other client- Joey Edwards was last week.."

Tracy Race: "Guys like Richard Steen- guys like Decaine, this is how they make their money- by being able to GUARANTEE their client victory because they'll go the extra mile to ensure that they get it! Sure Steen might have given Williams a little advantage but Miles Lozio isn't going to be one to cry about it, not when he knows that he had ample time to put the match away.. Congratulations to BOTH The Wonderman AND Richard Steen for a successful start here in LEGACY!"

With Williams and Steen up on the top of the aisle, the camera cued back in on Miles Lozio as he buried his hands in his face-- slamming his balled up fists on the mat as he pushed himself up-- his hometown fed him source of energy with..

"MILES!" stomp- stomp "MILES!" stomp- stomp "MILES!" stomp- stomp

Despite the chants in his favor, it didn't seem to help him get into a better mood, all as he rolled out of the ring and slapped the ring apron in the process of doing that-- kicking his foot against the ground as he stepped forward.. what was Williams' sense of achievement.. was Miles Lozio's failure.. and it was beginning to fester in him..

Backstage Segments

With one match done for the evening, it was time we found the host of LEGACY's 'Real Talk' Rebecca Bradley and she of course was backstage with a microphone in her hand. The woman who quickly gained the rep of a 'hard question pressing witch', Bradley flashed the camera a smile JUST as she greeted it with a welcome.

Rebecca Bradley: "Welcome to Independence Day ladies and gentlemen! As seen a few minutes ago- I'm attempting to get a word with Miles Lozio after a losing effort in which we saw him give it his all.. but still not capable of pulling it off.."

Moving through the back, catching the camera's view WASN'T Miles Lozio though, rather it was Dante Lozio. With a gym-bag thrown across his body, Dante stopped in his tracks.

Rebecca Bradley: "As we await word with your brother Miles- what.. exactly was the purpose of the meeting with Prince and Ripper Treborn!?"

With a smirk, Dante scratched behind his head lightly all as he shrugged.

Dante Lozio: ".. Well, it's simple. As much as I respect and appreciate legacy, it's time that we leave it behind us. I know that Prince and Ripper are Treborns and automatically we're supposed to hate them but it's kinda stupid, don't you think? We've had.. what.. 4 matches through the course of our careers yet we're supposed to NOT like them!?

".. WHERE WERE YOU!?"

Storming through the back, knocking platters out of the way- shoving waiters down to the ground, the camera panned to the right where an upset Miles Lozio was seen. Sweaty, beaten and with a slight lump on his head from that shot Steen took that connected across the back of the head, Miles got into his brother's face, all as Dante put his hand up-

Miles Lozio: "What the HELL is this I hear you're meeting with them PUNKS!?"

Dante Lozio: "Miles.. Miles, listen t-"

Before Dante could finish, Miles pie-faced him out of the way and stood his ground, all as Rebecca backed out of the way..

Miles Lozio: "NO YOU LISTEN! WE'RE BLOOD, THEY'RE NOT! They're the enemy Dante! How much different ways do I need to hit you over the head with it!? They've CURSED US HOW MANY TIMES!? What do you think the reason is that dad DOESN'T have his own promotion while King Treborn does?! Huh!?"

Miles words were like venom being sent by a spiting cobra, all as Dante ran his hand over his gelled hair and stepped closer to his brother.

Dante Lozio: "I understand you're upset Miles.. But don't touch me, don't touch my face, bro. You kno-"

Once AGAIN Miles shoved Dante's face, causing the big man to stumble backwards.

Miles Lozio: "YOU LEFT ME HIGH AND DRY TO GO TALK TO THOSE TWO?!"

Dante STORMED forward now and got nose to nose with his brother- Dante had the muscle mass.. he also had height on his side.

Dante Lozio: ".. I told you twice, don't touch my face. If you're not gonna listen to what I have to say-- then why bother get in my face? We can talk like brothers or fight like fools- what do you want to do?! 'Cause I guarantee you.. big brother, if you touch me again, fists are flying and mouths are closing."

Dante now stood his ground- he actually removed the gym bag and tossed it off to the side as he cocked his head back. Miles, who was in NO mood for this.. he didn't bother replying to his brother, instead his shrugged him off and stormed forward-- THROUGH Dante and continued forward. The camera followed Miles until he made a turn where he slapped a glass pitcher of water off of the table there-- the camera returned back to Dante Lozio who simply stared in that direction, placing his hand against his face-- despite not being in the match HE too was frustrated with the whole situation, all as the camera cut off of the bickering blood-relatives, but to another section of the back where Ian Windermear stood. After falling to Matt Ward in what was held as one of the most brutal matches in recent memory, Windermear had his back turned to the camera as a sigh was heard.

Ian Windermear: "Two weeks ago, I did everything I could get the win over a guy that I completely hate.. his name of course.. is Matt Ward. I did everything in my power, used whatever I could get my hands on to make sure I keep him down- but he kept going.. I should of known that taking the match ring-side was playing to his strength-- I should of never called Ward's bluff and played into his hands. WASTE.. WASTE.. WASTE. I learned the hard way-- Aiden Marx.. Matt Ward.. Cameron Kaiser.. and Angelica Night. You four made me see the light, you four made me see that I've been treating this the WRONG way."

Turning to the camera- the effects of the fight he was engaged in with WASTE at Friday the 20th still lingered-- his eye hadn't healed from the bruising, his nose also was a bit swollen.. Windermear showed battlefield scars from the battle, all as he cracked his knuckles.

Ian Windermear: "While I can't live in the past, I've gotta look to the future and tonight.. Hayden Phoenix-- I know we're gonna tear the house down, brother. I know that we're gonna go out there and not just give the fans in CEE-AYE a hell of a match, but we're gonna do so as we both make ourselves something special. See.. I don't want to say that getting my ass kicked by WASTE humbled me.. 'cause it didn't. I'm still a cocky son of a bitch, but WASTE did me a favor in showing me that I can't get complacent, I've gotta keep that chip on my shoulder. Hayden Phoenix gets to see what that chip can drive me to do- Phoenix' debut.. nah. The Phoenix ISN'T going to rise-- rather, Windermear's reign begins."

Said with nothing but the utmost confidence, Windermear nodded-- there was no cocky smirk of any kind, rather.. he just headed forward and toward the camera, almost as if he walked THROUGH it. With a few hits of static-- the camera cut to the back where a limousine seemed to have been waiting in the back of the arena..

The back door opened with an assist from the driver and the first man out of the limousine? Dressed in a black suit with a crimson colored dress shirt was Decaine. Standing and dusting himself off, Decaine rubbed his hands together as he took a second to catch the cool breeze that blew through the area. Stepping out of the limousine next-- we see 'The Emerald' Drew Stevenson who was dressed in a black suit, green dress shirt and of course, no tie. With client and agent exchanging a quick handshake, Drew removed his designer shades and tucked them into his front pocket as he held his arms out.

Drew Stevenson: "Carson.. California.. I love it without the stench of that glorified stunt-woman Alyssa Pryde."

Decaine held his stomach and let off a chuckle.

Decaine: "How's your digestive tract after devouring her career?"

Drew Stevenson: "It's OK, shockingly. I thought I'd for sure have developed a bleeding ulcer but maybe.. Alyssa Pryde isn't as potent as she thought she was."

Decaine: "Agreed. She, much like her smark fans should of never questioned what we're capable of doing. And they thought we'd faii.. HA! They thought that their silly little PodCasts listened to by absolutely no-one would tarnish the name of the GREATEST World Champion in professional wrestling history!"

Drew Stevenson: "Decaine, you truly are the pulp to my orange juice."

Holding both hands over his heart, Decaine blushed.

Decaine: "No.. No, Drew.. You, my friend-- is most certainly the Adrianna Lima to my Victoria Secret! You complete me! We're the best duo there EVER was!"

Drew smiled and nodded, all as Decaine slapped him on the shoulder.

Decaine: "I'll catch up Drew.. I've gotta make sure to fill in the new client on the plan."

With a nod, Drew stepped forward all as Decaine moved closer to the limo's open door and popped his head towards the door. The camera tried to swing towards the opening but Decaine shoved it away from him, all as Decaine cleared his throat.

Decaine: "EXCUSE ME!"

The camera backed up, all as Decaine nodded and looked back to the limo.

Decaine: "I'll give you a call when it's time-- enjoy the champagne-- it's on the house."

Decaine smiled and nodded, all as he slammed the car door behind him. Decaine took a step forward and turned his head juuuuuuuuust a bit to gaze into the camera, all as he pointed to it with a arrogant looking grin crossed over his face.

Decaine: "No-one wanted to listen that I'd FORCE 1 to take this as NO SMALL matter. I don't know how much more clues I can give to who my new client is.. but it's safe to say as I've said on Twitter.. Coast to Coast.. they're known-- but don't get NAILED down to just ONE prediction."

With a wink, Decaine formed a gun with his right hand-- using his index finger as the barrel, he pointed it at the camera and popped his thumb-- all as the camera cut out.
