Promoter: Isaac Cornelius III

(Match Order/Card Subject to Change)

Singles Match

The Shades (which combination?!) vs Matt Ward
Matt Ward did not fare too well last time he went against some shades, but that was Red and Purple, the "Evil" Shades. But we had some shade on shade violence at US19 and it was like looking at all the colors of the rainbow. But now, Matt has a chance to get his vengeance against the Blue Shade, the mastermind behind the shades as now he takes on the actual Shades of Destruction, the ones his had mistaken the Evil Shades for initially. But now as we see it, it could be ANY combination of the shades. How will Matt fare? 10% of all Matt Ward merchandise proceeds will go to the #SaveMattWard Foundation.

Singles Match
BonZo vs The Parakeet
It's a clown and a bird. Need we say more? #ThisIsAwesome

Singles Match
Logan Brock vs Nikki Venom
Logan Brock made a very strong statement towards TJ Bryce when he took out Well Connected by himself. Nikki Venom was originally scheduled two weeks ago to take on LeBroc Harris but some complications rose up and neither man made it to the show, so now Venom gets his chance to send his message to Silas Romero that he's not the coward that he was called and that Silas is everything he stands against. Logan Brock made the challenge to TJ Bryce for WAR on April 23rd, and hopes to get an answer from TJ Bryce tonight.

Singles Match
Peyton Kaiser w/ Artemis Kaiser vs Chris Orton
Peyton defeated the pair of the Evil Shades at US19 before they met their untimely demise at the return of the Shades of Destruction. Things appear to be heating up with Peyton and Delsin with their battle of words, Delsin calling himself the "Kaiser Killer." They haven't had a face to face since Artemis lost the PURE15 Title at US18 and we're sure to see some action collide between these two as we're just one month away from WAR where as of this writing it has been made official that Peyton and Delsin will collide. 

Singles Match
Silas Romero vs LeBroc Harris
LeBroc Harris has not had a ton of luck the past little while, meanwhile it seems more and more people are afraid of taking on Silas Romero, in his words anyway. Will LeBroc Harris bring back the invitational and make Silas tap out? Or will Silas send another one packing?

Singles Match
Jay B vs Silas Black
The Bro Off was a success. The ladies loved it, the crowd loved it, but we never got an actual winner and so Jay B issued the challenge to take the Bro-Off a little further, the first annual Brolympics for WAR! Tonight, IC4 has the night off as IC3 did not want him to do anything stupid and embarrassing again but he will be in the arena. So, Jay B steps back into the ring to take on newcomer Silas Black who's known as the "Urban Legend." Will the Party Rock flow through Jay B and carry him to a victory or will Silas Black make a triumphant debut?

Tag Team Match
Drew Stevenson & Tevolo vs Frank Debauchee & TJ Bryce
This comes from when Tevolo (who was banned from the arena for the night) jumped in across the street to help Drew Stevenson in his battle with Delsin Oswald and another attack by Wolf Parker. Thanks to Tevolo's help, Wolf and Delsin didn't get their one up and it left Drew and Tevolo with a one-up on First Class, one month before WAR. They take on Debauchee and PURE15 champion TJ Bryce. Although word is tat Debauchee is very distraught about what happened to his one of a kind muscle car that has a full investigation on-going, and is refusing to go outside to wrestle until the culprit is caught. These are just rumors of course, but First Class looks to get back on track and get rid of Drew Stevenson.

Singles Match
Wolf Parker vs Duke Andrews
These two have had their battles in the past and now it's time that Wolf steps foot inside of the MSW ring, finally. Wolf has been stalking Drew Stevenson and launching attack after attack on him from behind for weeks. So now that he's in the ring, he takes on Drew Stevenson's partner in crime, Duke Andrews. Duke knows Drew can't wrestle in the arena and will be occupied with First Class across the street, so he's looking to take care of Drew and shut down this "puzzle" that he's talked about in direction to Drew so that Drew can focus on what's more important, getting MSW back. The battle with First Class and associates continues, but one also has to wonder how Duke Andrews feels after those nasty big boots from Barrel at US19. 

MAIN EVENT
Chris Williams vs Mark Storm
Mark Storm returns to the ring tonight against Chris Williams who's looking to make his statement for the MSW Championship and Tommy Angel. Mark Storm once upon a time said that he too wanted to face Tommy and if he defeats Chris Williams, there's a good chance that maybe he'll get in line for Tommy Angel. We should also note that Frankie Cocheese and Barrel are not in attendance as they are actually banned from the arena this week after the chaos they ensued at US19. Cocheese and Barrel will for sure have their eyes locked right in at Chris Williams, based on how much Cocheese wants that title, too.

Intro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKHgSOGSIIw

Smith: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to another exciting edition of Missouri State Wrestling! There's so many things at stake tonight including our Main Event of the evening! For the past couple of weeks we've been seeing the tension build between two guys that have known each other for a long time, Chris Williams and Frankie Cocheese, and after the actions that the Capital Crew conducted two weeks ago, they were banned from competing tonight. They arrived at the building earlier today and were turned away at the door by IC3's security. The claims have been that IC3 has initiated this ban to prevent facing legal repercussion and security has been turned up ten fold tonight. Mark Storm makes his return to take on Chris Williams in what is sure to be a big match!

Bradford: I'm looking forward to Mark Storm's return. His time off has seemed to do some good for him and he's back, recharged and ready to kick some ass. And who can forget BonZo the Clown makes his debut! He has to face a damn bird though! The Parakeet... I don't even know. But Wolf Parker steps into the ring tonight! Makes me want to squeal like a little school girl! It was amazing to see Wolf make his return here to Kansas City taking on old rival Duke Andrews!

Smith: Duke Andrews has been doing pretty good this season until he came across Barrel and that's part of why things are how they are tonight because Barrel did not want to stop beating up Duke Andrews. Drew Stevenson and Tevolo are teaming up after the events of two weeks ago, and there's been a slight change in the events. Earlier this week Frank Debauchee approached us on twitter and has supposedly injured his hand and is not clear for competition tonight. He was originally scheduled to team up with our PURE 15 champion TJ Bryce, but word is the match is still happening and we're find out the replacement for the match a bit later in the evening.

Bradford: And who can forget about the Shades! Not the Evil Shades but the Shades of Destructo--

“Money (instrumental)” by Pink Floyd hits the arena as the not quite packed but still lively MSW fans erupt in a flurry of booes as that music could only mean one thing; IC3 and First Class were on their way to the ring.

Smith: Looks like First Class is going to kick things off tonight, Bradford! Even IC3 got tired of hearing you!

Bradford: Ha - ha.

Out first came Isaac Cornelius III walking with a sense of purpose to the ring. To his right was Eugene B. Varano threatening to sue a rowdy fan in the crowd and to his left Ed Trampke who had a certain swagger to his step as he strutted next to the boss. Behind them were Delsin Oswald and TJ Bryce walking in rhythm, with Bryce carrying that PURE 15 Championship like a cherrished trophy cradled under his arm. Directly behind those two were IC4 and The Skylarks as they awkwardly fist pumped through the entrance making them look completely out of place. Notably absent were Well Connected after their match from the previous Unstoppable and the MSW Champion himself Tommy Angel with Izzy.

Gavin Grey: Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome at this time The Owner of Missouri State Wrestling Isaac Cornelius the Third and First Class!

FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS!

IC3 grabs a mic upon entering the ring after he ordered Gavin Grey to hold the ropes open for First Class to step through. As First Class stood triumphantly in the ring together IC3 taps the mic several times, causing it to echo and screech which made some members in the crowd groan and cringe.

IC3: Order, I require silence and your complete, undivided attention.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

IC3: Do you people never learn? I come out here to address the hillbillies and ingrates populating my arena on my show and instead of sitting on your hands and zipping those mouths of yours you insist on trying to talk over me in a childish attempt to hijack my show. Then I have the guys in the back turn MY microphone up and I drown you out. I will not be responsible for any hearing loss you may suffer, you agree to terms to hold myself and MSW harmless and you waive any liability upon purchasing your tickets so if you really want to test me do so at your own peril.

FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS!

IC3: Alright, turn the volume up gentlemen. You know what to do, chop chop.

Tapping the microphone a few times, the crowd was completely drowned out by how obnoxiously loud the sound level was. It was a notch or two higher than it normally was when IC3 ordered the volume to be turned up. As he tapped the mic several times there was a collective groan in the crowd as it thumped and screeched into the sound system. With a cocky grin IC3 taps to his ears several times.

IC3: Ear plugs, you should invest into them mouth breathers. Now I can continue uninterrupted. On Unstoppable 18 a great injustice nearly occurred. In the main event one of my officials decided he was going to try to go rogue after Billy Vegas was unable to fulfill his duties after a heinous attack by Chris Williams earlier in the night so I decided to entrust the match to a man I thought had a decent amount of class. Not a great amount of class and certainly not First Class material but he was at least someone I thought was a notch or two above all of you; I told Mike Maddix that he was being promoted to referee the main event. And what did he do you might ask? Well why don't we let the man himself explain it?

“Just Run” by Digital Summer, the MSW theme, hits the PA system as Mike Maddix walks out from the back, wearing an MSW referee uniform. He quickly makes his way down the ramp with a no frills entrance before stepping between the ropes and into the ring.

IC3: Now surely you know why you're here, don't you Michael?

Maddix just simply nods. It was apparent in his eyes that he just wanted to get this done and over with as soon as possible.

IC3: Alright, good. Now you know the basics of officiating don't you? Don't answer that, it was a rhetorical question. Of course you do, I mean you wouldn't be working in professional wrestling if you didn't, you gotta go through the rulebook and undergo rigorous training to avoid looking like the officiating disaster that was the NFL replacement refs during the Referee Strike. We have standards to uphold. Now tell me Michael, how do you explain this? Roll the footage.

Duke begins to scan around the ring as First Class suddenly breaks ranks as IC4, the Skylarks, Delsin Oswald, and even Ed Trampke each decide to take a side of the ring as if they may try to enter all at once. IC4 hops up to one side and Duke quickly goes to run and swing only for IC4 to quickly hop off. Then both the Skylarks try to enter on their side of the ring and Duke lunges for them only for them to do the same. Then Delsin hops up and Duke nearly hits him, just barely missing his nose by less than an inch. Finally as Duke frantically scans around the ring expecting a IC4, Skylarks, or Trampke ambush he's instead met by Tommy Angel running at him full speed, hitting him in the head with the MSW Championship as the crowd turns livid.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! 

The referee tries to reprimand Tommy Angel but quickly stops as IC3 barks at him to ring the bell and shut up. Mike Maddix, reluctantly standing in for Billy Vegas who was hurt earlier in the night thanks to Chris Williams rings the bell.

Mike Maddix: He introduced a foreign object into the ring for a standard one on one singles match. The use of foreign objects are illegal and normally results in a disqualification.

IC3: Wrong! The match had not officially began and since this happened outside the confines of a match you should have kept your mouth shut and simply done you job.

Mike Maddix: It's a technicality, a loop hole in the rules. It doesn't make it right and it shouldn't be allowed to slide. This was not a No DQ match.

IC3: And? The Boss's word is always final. The fact that I told you to ring the bell and do your job should have resonated through your thick skull. If I personally thought it was a problem I would have told you to disqualify Mr. Angel immediately. Alright, so tell me how you explain this one?

Tommy Angel is reeling against the ropes at this point as Mike Maddix goes to intervene and this time Duke Andrews shoves him away only for Tommy Angel to catch him with a swift thumb to the eye.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Maddix is incensed at this point and issues a stern warning to Tommy Angel for playing loosely with the rules only for the Boss to quickly overrule him.

IC3:

If you disqualify him you'll be fired! Do you hear me? I pay you to officiate the matches around here and ultimately you're playing by my rules, do you hear me, Mike? Thomas has incurred no such rule violation of which you speak!

Mike Maddix: A thumb to the eye is an illegal maneuver, subject to verbal warning or potentially an outright disqualification, subject to the referee's judgment call.

IC3: Wrong again! If you look at the footage closely you'll see that Thomas was defending himself while pinned up against the ropes, a break you called for far too late I might add. He was going for a punch and in the heat of the moment he slipped off target; the thumb was purely 100% coincidental and unintentional.

In a fit of rage Tommy Angel throws up three fingers before Maddix throws two back. Tommy Angel gets to his feet and violently shoves Maddix to the ground as he backs up and begins to undo his knee brace.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! TOM-MY SUCKS! TOM-MY SUCKS! TOM-MY SUCKS! TOM-MY SUCKS! TOM-MY SUCKS! TOM-MY SUCKS! TOM-MY SUCKS!

Tommy Angel manages to get his brace off and holds it up as Duke Andrews is stirring on the mat, fully intending to use it as a weapon. Maddix gets back to his feet and begins to wrestle for control of the brace. Finally Maddix manages to force the brace out of Tommy's hand and tosses it to the outside as Tommy again shoves him, this time against the ropes. Just when it looked like Tommy was about to seriously hurt the official get gets blindsided by a spear from Duke Andrews! Duke rains repeatedly down on Tommy Angel with a flurry of fists, the crowd getting hotter and hotter with each punch before nearly going nuts when this time Duke Andrews busts Tommy Angel open. IC3 is seen visibly shaken at the display of blood pouring from his champion, the very beating he was trying to avoid his investment from taking. This time Maddix was a lot slower to call for a clean break after Tommy Angel nearly crippled him and only reluctantly does so out of fear for his job.</quote>

IC3: I'd love to see how you explain this one. It was clear that you had it out for Thomas from the very beginning of the match. You were very slow to call for the break and you risked having that maniac Duke Andrews inflicting serious harm upon our Champion due to your negligent officiating.

Mike Maddix: You really want to know why? I had enough of your bullshit!

The crowd pops big for that as IC3 looks taken back.

Mike Maddix: I was only trying to do my job, I was trying to call it right down the middle and you constantly interfered with me enforcing the rules as intended! I am a referee licensed by the Missouri Athletic Commission and I'm not Billy Vegas, a guy you have to appoint as a “special referee” to try to skirt regulations. This is my job, this is my life! Tommy Angel threatened to inflict bodily harm on me and to take food off my family's table and you honestly think a man won't try to defend himself for that? My only regret is that I didn't let Duke wail on him longer! This man has a history of abusing officials and all you're doing is enabling him! Enough is enough!

“Money (instrumental)” by Pink Floyd hits the arena once again as Maddix swiveled his head back to the ramp as IC3 had the widest Cheshire grin imaginable. Out emerged Tommy Angel, wearing a black pinstripe suit with the MSW Championship resting on his shoulder. On his arm was the lovely Izzy Cornelius, the pride and joy of IC3. The two took their time walking down to the ring as Mike Maddix appeared suddenly nervous as it dawned on him that he was not only surrounded by First Class but his only real avenue out was blocked by the very man that nearly beat him to a bloody pulp. Still Maddix stood his ground as Delsin Oswald helped Tommy and Izzy into the ring by sitting on the middle rope and holding the top rope up.

Tommy Angel: Mike! It's so good to see you! You know, first of all I got to thank Mr. Cornelius for his generosity. Izzy and I enjoyed our time in the Bahamas, it was like living in paradise! It was good to get away, rest and recover and have some personal time off. Not only do I feel good and ready to go but I feel rejuvenated! Second of all Mike I wanted to apologize. What happened at Unstoppable 18 was completely unprofessional, it was uncalled for and it did not live up to the high standards set for MSW. This promotion should be about the best competitors in the world facing off against one another on a level and equal playing field. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you couldn't follow orders like a good little drone!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Tommy Angel: But I'm over it, I'm not going to hold a grudge over something so petty. I mean you must have had a bad week and I mean who doesn't? Well okay, I don't because I ride First Class and there's no such thing as a bad week when you ride First Class but for you? I mean I understand. So I talked with Mr. Cornelius about this yesterday when the plane touched back down in Kansas City and I made a request. Honestly he had half a mind to fire you and while I can't say I blame him I made your case for you Mike, I went to bat for you. Personally I think you should be... rewarded for showing such bravery in the face of adversity so I talked Mr. Cornelius out of that when the findings of the internal investigation game in. See, I've paid attention to you back when Stevenson's former Emerald Academy was still running, before he lost everything and I noticed you would show up early every single day to put in some time in the gym and I thought to myself, “this Maddix guy is serious about professional wrestling”. I know it's been the boyhood dream for you to one day lace up those boots and compete in front of your family on a big stage so tonight you're going to make your professional debut.

Maddix looks at Tommy suspiciously as he gets patted roughly on the back.

Tommy Angel: Tonight you will be going one on one; with me. And to show you that there's no hard feelings between the two of us I will be putting my MSW Championship on the line. So bring your A Game because it's not every day someone gets to debut in a Championship match. Just... don't expect me to take it easy on you due to your inexperience. I want to see how much heart you got and I want to see just how badly you want to make it, how badly you want to make your family proud. I want to see you pour your blood, sweat, and tears into this very ring and earn your stripes.

Tommy places his hand on Mike's shoulder as he flashes a sinister grin.

Tommy Angel: I want to see you start paying your dues. Good luck, you'll need a lot of it.

Smith: Finally! We're no longer muted.

Bradford: What a hell of an opportunity for Mike Maddix! Tommy not only decided to spare his job but he selflessly made it his mission to help this kid's dream come true! What a class act!

Smith: Class act my ass! This is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to physically punish a man who was trying to do his job! Tommy Angel wants to hurt this man and IC3 is allowing this to go through with the sole purpose of making an example out of him!

Bradford: Well maybe he shouldn't have trained to become a wrestler if he was afraid of getting hurt now should he? He's got a chance to sink or swim and I don't see any inflatable water wings or a lifejacket to see him back to shore! This is great!

With that MSW quickly fades to commercial.

The Shades of Destruction vs Matt Ward

Waking the Demon begins to play as Matt Ward makes his way out to the ring with a loud reception of boos from the fans in the arena, Matt taunts the fans as he makes his way into the ring as he prepares for his match.

Gavin Grey: The Following handicap match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Chicago, Canada, weighing 245lbs he is the Second City Nightmare... MATT WARD!

Smith: Another week, another tough match for Matt Ward. Cocheese rang his bell on the last Unstoppable, and on Unstoppable 18 he had to face The “Evil” Shades; Red and Purple in what would be their first victory in MSW.

Bradford: But now with The Realm of Shades in utter flux we get Yellow and Green! I'm so divided Smith! Matt Ward is a Drew Stevenson supporter and that's just not cool on one hand but on the other Yellow and Green are traitors! They were supposed to unite the Shades; not tear them apart! This is just like Darth Vader turning his back on the Emperor and saving Luke Skywalker!
Smith: I think you got that backwards there. The Empire were the villains.

Bradford: Says you! The Empire was a source of order and stability! And honestly if you ask me I'm not sure I like this Queen of the Shades. Blue was a nice guy. I guess I gotta flip a coin for this match. HA! Heads! Sorry Matt Ward, but I gotta pull for these Traitor Shades for one match.

Smith: Good grief. Even when you're against them you won't shut up about them. You ever hear about just calling the action right down the middle?

“I See Demons” by Book of Black Earth starts playing. Smoke and red lights cover the arena as the kickass song plays. At 1:20 of the song, The Shades of Destruction come out to the ramp. The crowd starts booing out of fear and hatred, but the Shades of Destruction ignore it as they walk down the ramp. The Shades climb to the apron like Kane and get inside the ring, doing simultaneous Kane taunts inside the ring, causing fire to come out of the ring posts.

Gavin Grey: And his opponents; from the Realm of Shades weighing in at a combined weight of 754lbs, accompanied by The Queen of the Shades they are... THE SHADES OF DESTRUCTION!

DING DING

Matt Ward tries to bring the fight to the Shades right out of the gate as he darts after Yellow only to get hit with a devastating throat thrust for his trouble. Yellow quickly grabs Ward by the throat and lifts him back up before roughly tossing him to the corner and tagging in Green. Both Shades whip Ward into the ropes and hit him with a double big boot. Yellow exits the ring as Green drops down to his knees and begins to choke Matt Ward with both of his hands wrapped around his neck pressing downward. Ward kicked his feet up and down on the mat as Derek Lay begins his 5 count, stopping at 4. Green ominously stares at Lay when Lay tries to explain illegal choke before choking him again all while staring at the referee.

Smith: Matt Ward is in dire straits already. It's been a long time since we've seen the Original Shades but they're roaring out of the gate with a vengeance tonight.

Bradford: Matt Ward made a grave mistake trying to jump these two that's for sure. Just because he got away with it vs Red and Purple doesn't mean he's going to get away with it with Yellow and Green; these two are about as big as mammoths. I mean look at their combined weight? That's nearly half a ton!

Smith: I can't argue with you there. And Derek Lay looks absolutely terrified to be officiating this match.

Bradford: He should! I wouldn't want to meet either of these guys in a dark alley... or a Walmart Supercenter for that matter.

Lay counts to 4 with a little bit less resolve in his eyes as Green mercifully lets go. Green menacingly steps towards Lay who holds ups his hands before he reaches over and tags Yellow back in. Yellow goes to pick Ward up but manages to take a few punches to the gut for his trouble as he backs Yellow up. Out of desperation Ward got up and ran off the ropes looking for a Chi-Town Crushed ( Running Crossbody) to shift the momentum in his favor but much to his dismay Yellow manages to catch him!

Smith: Ward was looking for the Chi-Town Crushed out of desperation but Yellow managed to catch him and made it look easy!

Bradford: That's some scary strength right there, Ward is no paperweight.

Ward shakes his head several times as Yellow hits a devastating fallaway slam. Yellow quickly makes the tag with Green who gets on the middle rope. Yellow picks Ward up as he hands him off to the welcoming grasp of Green, holding him upside down as he falls descens from the second rope, connecting with The Shade of Death (Top Rope Tombstone Piledriver).

Smith: Have mercy! The Shade of Death, that top rope tombstone piledriver! Nobody is getting up from that

Green rolls Ward over and hooks the leg. 1, 2, 3.
