Showdown Live March 14, 2018 at Bojangles' Coliseum in Charlotte N. Carolina
Lauren: Hello everyone, welcome to tonight's Showdown! We have another great night of awesome wrestling as Equinox makes his singles debut against Jacob Johnson.
Oscar: We have Delia Darling in just her second ever singles match in Honor as she goes one on one with Latoya Hixx.
Lauren: Earl Lockyer and Caleb Strom will face off as the rookie hopes to keep his momentum going.
Oscar: That’s right as Caleb knows first hand that Earl Lockyer is one of the top stars here when they met weeks ago.
Lauren: Then the first of two title matches tonight as Eric Weaver has earned 5 minutes with the champion. If Eric wins in under 5 minutes then we will have a new champion.
Oscar: However, as long as Eric can last 5 minutes then no matter what he goes on to face Alex for the title at Turmoil.
Lauren: Very interesting to see what happens in that match.
Oscar: Then Alicia Lukas faces her first of two challenges placed in front of her. Charlotte's very own Cindy Warren.
Lauren: Cindy will have the home crowd behind her all the way but will that be enough?
Oscar: Speaking of enough, that is what Honor Champion Mercedes Vargas has with Brooke Saxon. Before Mercedes has her Main Event match tonight show with Crystal Hilton she will take on Brooke Saxon.
Lauren: Mercedes needs to be careful. Brooke may not be a professional wrestler but she can fight, she did wrestle in college as well as a trained MMA fighter, but more importantly, Crystal will take advantage any way she can. Crystal already can beat the very best in this business so Mercedes needs to make sure she doesn’t get caught in any submission holds Brooke knows.
To Be Where There’s Life by Oasis starts to play around the arena.
Oscar: What is this surprise by Honor Owner Henry Saxon???
We see Henry Saxon come through the curtains as the fans give him a big pop. He walks down toward the ring as the music continues to pick up. He makes his way up the ring stairs as he walks around, feeling the energy of the crowd for a moment before he retrieves a microphone.
Henry: It is great to be in front of such an energetic audience, right here in Charlotte, North Carolina…
Crowd: *POP!*
Henry: You have six great Honor Wrestling matches ahead of you tonight. No, I did not make a mistake there. Six Honor… Wrestling matches. You see, I cannot condone my daughter, Brooke, abusing her power to call out our Honor Champion, Mercedes Vargas, for personal, and honestly quite trivial, reasons. While she is a big girl, and I’m not going to stop her from fighting Mercedes here tonight…
Crowd: *POP!*
Henry: I cannot, and will not allow Honor Wrestling to sanction this match. By all means, I know that Brooke is capable of handling herself, but this vendetta will not be encouraged on my dollar. Cut the sound system, and have at it ladies. Hopefully, you two can work out whatever it is that you two have against one another. To the audience here, please enjoy the show…
And with that, Henry hands the microphone back to Missy and walks to the ring steps. He straightens his suit jacket as he goes down the ring stairs. He walks up the ramp as the crowd cheers. Brooke Saxon steps out onto the stage in her wrestling attire, cracking her knuckles as she makes eye contact with her dad. They exchange a few words as Henry goes to the back. Brooke walks down the ramp, business on the brain. She makes it to the ring steps and runs up them, wasting little time before getting inside of the ring. She paces back and forth inside of the ring before resting in the corner.
A figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd. Cheers, boos and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. She vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes, staring across the ring at Brooke, making a few backhanded comments that causes Brooke to charge across the ring.
No bell, Brooke shoves Mercedes. Mercedes shoves Brooke back, with a bit of arrogance, and a smile upon her face. Brooke angrily goes for a kick, but Mercedes evades it with a smile upon her face that rivals the previous smile. She nods her head as she claps for Brooke. Brooke catches her with a Roundhouse Kick that lands, stunning Mercedes.
Mercedes stumbles a bit now, shaking it off quickly. She slaps Brooke across the face and shakes a finger at her as she screams out in anger. Brooke hits a Spinning Back Elbow to Mercedes, causing her to hold onto her jaw as she lets out a painful cry. Brooke goes to capitalize on the move with a Jab Cross. She goes for the Stomp Kick, but Mercedes grabs onto her leg and whips her over with a Dragon Screw, immediately locking on the Peligro Rojo 2 (Reverse Figure Four Leglock). She locks it on tight as Brooke clinches her fists together. She tries to move closer to the ropes, but she cannot seem to budge from the spot she is in. She shouts out in pain before she immediately taps the mat furiously. Mercedes leaves it locked on for a second longer to assert herself before letting go. She stands up to celebrate in front of the booing audience.
Meanwhile, Brooke rolls to the outside, limping a bit as she glares back inside at Mercedes. Mercedes makes sure to celebrate the win, pretending not to notice Brooke is even still out there for a moment. She finally looks at Brooke who is backing up the ramp, and she pouts out her lips, wringing her hand at the side of her face as she shrugs her shoulders. She waves at Brooke as she steps back to continue celebrating.
Missy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Take me out starts to play around the arena.
So if you're lonely
You know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a cross hair
I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here
You leave me broken, shattered, I lie
Missy: Coming down to the ring. Weighing in at 200ibs, from San Diego, CA Jacob Johnson!!!!
I say don't you know
You say you don't know
I say, take me out!
I say you don't show
Don't move, tide is low
I say, take me out!
I say you don't know
You say you don't know
I say, take me out!
If I move this could die
Eyes move this can die
I want you to take me out
Jacob hops over the top rope hold one hand up in the air to the crowds mixed reaction. He keeps that hand up while he makes his way to the corner. He climbs the turnbuckle as he looks on at the live crowd
SEEK ME!!!!! CALLL ME!!!! I'll BE WAITING!!!!
As the stage, as well as the ringside area, slowly begins to fill up with white smoke as the crowd watches in anticipation. Suddenly, something began to rise out of the stage, as if rising from the depths of the mist itself. The fans began to erupt as Equinox hidden underneath the smoke begins to rise out of the smoke as you can see parts his face paint revealing itself hidden under his mask. His arms outstretched to the High Fliers as if drawing in their strength before stepping into battle.
"End of Heartache (cover)" by Killswitch Engage go out as it hits over the PA System as the Titan trons begins to play the video highlighting Equinox who would be competing into one of the tonight's many events.
The fog still thick and envious as if to cloud him from their vision as he makes his way out. As the beat gets faster, Equinox walk faster as his feet trot along to the beat as he is shown in his white Assassin's creed overcoat, his conjoined white and black mask hiding his face, black tank top, and his customized arm covers over each arm in hues of black, charcoal gray, red. His face hidden behind a wild mask of face paint. The fans cheering as the ring announcer announces Honor's own High Spot Superhero.
Missy: From St. Louis, Missouri!!!! Weighing in at 235 Ibs....He is "The Human Highlight Reel", He is "The High Spot Hero" Equinox!!!!!!!
Equinox slowly makes his way down the rows and rows of fans on his right side till he goes full square around to each of the fans. Then heads to greet the ones he missed, before turning around before heading full throttle into the ring sliding under the bottom rope feet first as his body flies at full speed. Smiling big and wide, He gets up quickly playing to the crowd. Proceeding up to each turnbuckle pointing out to the fans for they are why he is here tonight before climbing to the top turnbuckle and somersaulting off the top landing on his feet in the ring. Once finished he take off his overcoat as well as his mask and hands both of them to the Ref.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Oscar: Great match up here, we have Equinox taking on Jacob Johnson.
Lauren: Equinox looked pretty good last week in spite of the outcome of that match.
Oscar: There’s the bell and here we go.
Lauren: The two men lock up in the center of the ring and struggle with each other for the advantage. Jacob strikes first hitting a scoop slam. Both men are up to their feet quickly but Jacob is able to follow with a belly to belly suplex. Jacob then applies a sitting reverse armbar.
Oscar: Equinox is able to get out of the move. And is able to land an inverted exploder suplex and then follows it up by hitting a couple of double foot stomps on Jacob while he’s down. Equinox waits for Jacob to get to his feet and just as Jacob turns toward him, Equinox lands his “Black Mass kick” the force turns Jacob around and Equinox runs up behind him and hits a double knee backstabber and quickly makes the cover.

2...Kickout!
Lauren: Jacob gets the shoulder up. Both men get back to their feet with Equinox moving quicker. Jacob sees him coming and hits Equinox with a clothesline giving him the upper hand and a moment to catch his breath. Jacob grabs Equinox by the head and hits a ddt. Jacob moves in and applies a rear naked choke. As Jacob relents and they get to their feet Jacob whips Equinox into the corner and runs in to hit a Stinger splash but Equinox gets out of the way at the last moment.
Oscar: Crash and burn for Jacob right there. Equinox hits a deadlift German suplex. Equinox climbs up to the top turnbuckle and leaps into the air hitting a shooting star press plancha. Both men get back to their feet with Jacob staggering and Equinox hits “Fade to Black”!
Lauren: Oh big side flapjack there that sent Jacob down pretty hard. Equinox runs to the corner and leaps to the top turnbuckle and leaps into the air again only this time it’s the “Dark Kingdom”! Followed by a cover and he’s got the leg.

Ding! Ding! Ding!
Missy: The winner of this match as a result of a pinfall, Equinox!
The crowd cheers as Equinox is victorious. He charges up the corner and stands upon the top rope as he celebrates his win with “End of Heartache” playing.
Backstage we find Delia Darling standing at the makeup mirror while Tatsu and Winter watch her. Tatsu primps dramatically while Winter mimics Delia’s makeup strategies also in a dramatic fashion. She spins around on her feet as Tatsu does the same, until they bump into one another, laughing.
Winter: Oh look at me, I have to be all perfect before a wrestling match like I come from zzzzz’e cover of fashion magazine, eh?
Tatsu: Yes! Look to me, I am pretty and perfect and great because I say I am, da!
Winter: What are you talking about? She's French, not Russian, was it?
Tatsu: Yeah, well she's not Canadian either!
Winter sticks her tongue out at Tatsu, who returns the gesture. Darling let's out a loud, annoyed sigh before smacking her lips together and turning back around to face Winter and Tatsu.
Delia: For your information, one must always look presentable for zzzzzzz’e camerazzzzz… Secondly, Latoya won't make me smudge a single s’ing on my face. Z’is isn't even a warm up, it's a f**king insult…
Winter: Yeah, yeah. We saw your promo. It was like “Facing Latoya Hixx” 101.
Tatsu: Oh-my-yaaa, it was so basic.
Winter: So basic.
Delia: Do not ever say z’at word in my presence ever again. S’ank you…
Winter & Tatsu: Basic. Basic. Basic! Basic! Basic!! Basic!!
Crowd: BASIC! BASIC! BASIC! BASIC!
Delia holds up her hand in the air to silence Tatsu and Winter, but the audience keeps going. Tatsu and Winter giggle as Delia rubs at her temples.
Delia: Look, lesson number two, which I can impart upon you bo’s… Save z’e big guns for z’e big matches. Why waste an actual s’ought on someone who can't provide one of z’eir own?
Before Delia can continue on, Tatsu taps at her chin curiously.
Tatsu: Ummm… Can you remind me again, what was lesson one? And when did you tell us, because I simply do not remember.
Delia chuckles as she begins packing her belongings back into her makeup bag. She does so with attitude before spinning around and zipping her bag dramatically.
Delia: Lesson one is an obvious one. It should not need to be stated. Observe, take notes, and follow moi.
Delia flips her hair and begins stomping the hallway as if it were a runway, tucking her designer bag under her arm. Winter and Tatsu smile big as they look at one another for a moment too long. They flip their hair a few times, feeling surprisingly empowered by it. They hold hands as they stomp down the makeshift runway right after Delia until they are no longer seen.
Inside the Three Way locker room, Earl and Sarah are reviewing the matches of his opponent Caleb Storms.
Sarah: See what he did there, a side step can easily counter that.
Earl: Yeah, I think your game plan will work against Caleb.
Sarah: Well my, game plans rarely fail.
Kevin Whitfield pokes in head in the door.
Kevin: Am I interrupting?
Earl: Not at all.
Kevin steps in with a mic in hand.
Kevin: I’m here with my guest, The Human Natural Disaster, Hurricane Earl Lockyer.
Earl: Sup Kev.
Kevin: Last time out you were unsuccessful in your match against the Kawaii Dragons.
Earl: Don’t remind me.
Kevin: Okay, tonight you're facing an up and comer in Caleb Storms.
Earl: Yeah, I watched the kid and he may have a bright future in the business, but tonight isn’t going to be his night, tonight will be a life lesson he can learn from Kev, young guys have to take beatings like the one Caleb is going to get tonight in order to improve, tonight Caleb’s fans will be sent home disappointed Kev.
Kevin: Okay I think we're out of time, back to the ring.
Missy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Paris, France by way of Pensacola, FL standing at 5’9” and weighing in at 130lb, she is… Delia Darling!!!
The lights in the arena dim down slightly as "Amazing" by Hi Fashion begins playing. Pink and white lights flash upon the stage as the curtains are shoved aside. The fans boo loudly as Delia Darling steps out, wearing a sparkling pink dress. She flips her hair back and smirks as she saunters half way down the ramp. She reaches down and tears away the bottom of the dress to reveal a one piece suit. She tosses the dress portion out into the crowd. She looks from side to side before she darts under the bottom rope. She slowly walks to the center before looking around. She pauses dramatically before striking a pose for the cameras flashing. She walks around the ring, standing on the turnbuckles to draw in boos from the fans. Once she's finished, she walks to the corner and stares at the stage, waiting for her opponent.
Missy: And her opponent, from Toronto, Canada, standing at 5’5” and weighing in at 114lb she is… Latoya Hixx!!
Time to Rock and Roll plays when she comes out wearing her new black attire and starts pointing at the fans and walks down the ramp and slapping high fives to the Audience while she gets in the ring and points to her fans once again and stands there when her music fades.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Oscar: We have an interesting match up here.
Lauren: Two ring veterans are set for action as we are about to see Latoya Hixx take on Delia Darling.
Oscar: They are in the middle of the ring and we can see them speaking to each other then Delia pushes Latoya, and Latoya pushes Delia back and now they are locked up. Quick advantage for Latoy as she whips Delia into the ropes and then hits her with a backhand chop.
Lauren: Stunned Delia takes a step back as she places a hand over her chest and base of her neck and Latoya closes the gap and moves in but gets hit with a b**** slap. They lock up again.
Oscar: Oh and Latoya hits a body slam and follows up with a quick leg drop. Latoya get back on her feet and gets into position and hits a bulldog. She rolls Delia over and goes for a pin.
1..Kickout!
Lauren: Both women make it to their feet and Latoya runs toward Delia but gets hit with a monkey flip. Delia gets back to her feet first and continues to press the attack. Delia gets a head of steam as Latoya gets up and Delia knocks her back down with a shoulderbutt and then grabs both of Latoya’s feet and performs an airplane spin.
Oscar: Whoa, Delia lets go of Latoya and staggers about for a moment. Latoya’s dizzy, Delia’s dizzy and I might be a bit dizzy from watching that.
Lauren: Sure blame it on watching a move.
Oscar: Wait what?
Lauren: Delia goes for a pinfall here.
1...Kickout!
Oscar: Both women quickly get to their feet and Latoya is able to whip Delia into the ropes and catches her hitting a big spinebuster. Latoya heads to the near corner and gets in place on the top turnbuckle and as Delia gets up, Latoya leaps into the air hitting a diving bulldog. Latoya picks up Delia and hits a one armed neckbreaker slam. Following up she gets her back to her feet and whips Delia into the far corner and runs in after her and hits a stinger splash.
Lauren: Latoya keeps Delia in the corner and lifts her up to a seated position on the top turnbuckle and takes a couple of steps back and hits a super frankensteiner! Latoya makes the pin and hooks the leg…
1…
2...Kickout!
Oscar: Big moves but Delia gets the shoulder up. Latoya hits the mat in frustration as she gets to her feet. Delia gets up and Latoya attempts a whip.
Lauren: It gets blocked by Delia who is able to stand her ground. Delia goes for the chick kick, but Latoya uses her matrix evasion. Just as Latoya stands back up Delia grabs her and hits an atomic drop. Delia moves in behind Latoya and hits a full nelson slam.
Oscar: Latoya tries to get up rolling over onto her hands and knees but Delia moves in grabbing her around the waist and hitting a big German suplex. Delia grabs a handful of Latoya’s har getting her back to her feet before kicking her in the midsection and then hitting “Le B**** Bomb”!
Lauren: There’s the cover and the leg is hooked.

3!
Missy: The winner of this match as a result of a pinfall, Delia Darling!
With that, Delia uses her foot to roll Latoya out of the ring, fixing her hair as she raises her arms up in the air in celebration. She catches her breath as “Amazing” by Hi Fashion plays over the speakers.
We find ourselves in the backstage area and it is there where we are able to see Crystal Hilton she is all smiles as she bounces around in her in ring gear. It isn’t long before her daughter Brittany Williams walks up to her.
Brittany: Hello everyone I am the official voice of Pride and tonight in Charlotte we will be seeing my mother Crystal Hilton. How do you feel about tonight?
Crystal: To be honest I feel really good about tonight. It means a lot to be gracing the ring to face Vargas in front of this Charlotte crowd. I haven’t been myself lately and tonight marks the day I get back to the basics but what I wanted to talk about is two weeks March 28th. Vargas you told the entire world you wanted to face me with your title on the line. Are you that game of a competitor? Do you find yourself really to be the best woman in the sport? Well I know Ernest told you to pick another opponent but the fact is I do want that shot. You really want to see Crystal clear? Well lets raise the stakes.
Brittany: and what exactly do you mean by raise the stakes?
Crystal: Well tonight it’s about proving myself as the better wrestler point blank, but I want to prove that I am a better Lucha wrestler between the both of us, and it hurts me that Vargas was able to beat me in a pumpkin match a year ago. It really got to me and I never let that down. If Vargas is the champion that she says she is she will be willing to fight me in any type of match, and I have but one challenge for Vargas. In Atlanta Georgia with her title on the line I want her to fight me in the match that I am known for. A match I really haven’t lost that much at.
Brittany’s eyes open wide up.
Brittany: You wouldn’t be happen to talk about…
Crystal: YES! A ladder match! Her title suspended from above the ring. A match where I can showcase to the fans that I am an aerialist. The fans paid to see “La Paloma” The dove take flight and soar above all, and Vargas just seems to be so damn cocky that she can beat anyone at anytime. Truth be told as much as I wish to not like Vargas she has a habit of always picking me for competition. Whether it was an AESOP or 3WL or even Divas Unleashed to our time in Honor. We have always put on great matches and I feel in my heart I could beat her with the spotlight beaming down. I can beat her when it matters, and she isn’t one to shy away from a challenge. So regardless of what happens tonight, that’s what I want Vargas. If you so happen to beat me. I will shake your hand. I will call you the better woman and I will move on until I build myself up. But this feud has been building and every time I feel myself getting better. I feel myself getting more driven, and I feel the determination in my body.
Brittany: Sounds like you are focused.
Crystal: I am focused and I know what I want. So please Vargas give me what I want. Let’s go out and steal the show tonight, and in two weeks let’s do this again with everything at stake. Anyway, I await an answer and I’ll see you in the ring. Good luck. You definitely are going to need it!
With that Crystal walks away as Brittany nods her head with a smile as we go elsewhere.
Brittany: Hello everyone I am the official voice of Pride and tonight in Charlotte we will be seeing my mother Crystal Hilton. How do you feel about tonight?

With that Crystal walks away as Brittany nods her head with a smile as we go elsewhere.
Missy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

Caleb's music starts playing as his hand gets raised. Earl gets up fuming, the ref quickly gets between the two. The two have a stare down before Earl gets pulled back by Sarah Lane. Earl leaves the ring as Caleb goes and gets on the middle turnbuckle to celebrate with the fans.
Alana Allure knocks on a door with a sign that reads “Bad Boys” on it… She stands and waits for a response in grey slacks, a white shirt and grey jacket with her hair pulled back into a ponytail and shining black high heels and her right hand now on her hip.
Erik: Alana… What a pleasant, yet unexpected visit…
Alana: I came by because I think we should talk about Eyesnsane.
Erik sighs and nods his head as he further opens the door, welcoming Alana inside.
Alana: Thanks, now he has been on simmer since that title defense and now before I go any further I can understand how things got a bit sideways. That said, I went to doctor Weaver and asked about his status. He’s been cleared to come back and he plans on being here tonight. Thing is I’m not sure how far he is going to take things. He’s pissed and he feels owed and if all he is seeing is red, well from my experience anything can happen.
She looks around the room as she takes a seat on a black leather couch. Erik takes a seat next to her, offering a sparkling water as he takes one for himself.
Erik: I can see your concern. I actually echo your sentiment. I believe Eyes will be on a warpath the minute he enters this arena. Now, where we have differing opinions seems to be that you are viewing this as a bad thing. I see it as an opportunity to break the shackles of oppression that Jerry Wilcox and Ernest Jackson have placed on him, and the Bad Boys in general. I love tag team wrestling, but it is clear that each Bad Boy is capable of being much more than that.
Erik takes another sip of his water, trying to pretend he likes such needlessly high class things as sparkling mineral water. Alana takes another water for herself and takes a sip…
Alana: Thank you and that is good. Now you and I have not really worked together but I don’t think you are far off the mark as far as what all the Bad Boys can do individually. As far as Eyes goes I don’t disagree with him going off. I think Honor needs Eyes to go off to be fully unleashed if you will. I think they have forgotten the champion he was the man that went on a tear and stayed undefeated. Not that there has not been continued success with the Bad Boys, he is after all the first person to hold the Honor champion and a hardcore tag title holder. Frankly, I see opportunity as well. There’s no Legacy champion at the moment.
She leans back on the couch as she takes another drink of water. Erik nods his head in agreement.
Erik: I have three possible future Legacy Champions under contract. However, I believe that if you and I pool our resources together, as we should have long ago, Eyes will be the frontrunner for that vacant title… Though, he would also make a remarkable two time Honor Champion in time. Do you not agree?
Alana: That goes without saying. However I’m a baseball fan, and even you have to admit a grand slam is a big deal. Not mention the thought of me managing both Honor champions at the same time. The sky seems to be the limit right about now. I’m interested in us pooling our resources, what do you propose?
Erik feigns taking another sip as he sets the bottle down on the glass table.
Erik: Have you noticed the nice things we have in this locker room? Does it make any sense that a man who lost the Legacy Championship on his first defense and his second run as Hardcore Tag Champion was also lost on the first defense, and a man who failed, not once, but twice, at defeating Alex Jones, and carries a loss to John Blade, and then a third man who lost to Earl Lockyer… has all of these nice things in his locker room? I assure you, I have not paid a dime out of my own pocket. I have pull, not just in this company, but all over the wrestling world. I inspire ratings. You are a promotional beast. Together, we shove Eyesnsane down everyone’s goddamn throats. We will knock it out of the park with this one, you and I. Bases loaded…
She smiles brightly.
Alana: I like the way you think and have had some professional respect for a while now. I would not be who I am if I had not heard of you.
Alana leans forward setting her bottle of water down on the table and extends her left hand toward Erik.
Alana: You have yourself an alliance sir.
Erik takes her hand and kisses it in a polite, respectful manner.
Erik: I'm glad we have come to an understanding. It would have been a terrible loss to my cause if I were to lose Eyesnsane. We will both benefit greatly, I assure you.
Alana stands up and retrieves her water.
Alana: Alright, as I’m sure you can understand I have some work to get done. Something tells me I’ll be talking to management before the night is out. This was a good talk, you have my number and I yours. So you’ll be in the loop.
Erik: Excellent. The pleasure has been all mine. Have a great night, and do not hesitate to call on me to help with damage control.
Erik stands up and politely opens the door for Alana, smiling almost wickedly at this new alliance.
Missy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Five Minute Title Match! Introducing first, the challenger, from Chicago, IL standing at 6’ and weighing in at 175lb, he is… Eric Weaver!!!
Take Five starts to play as we here the jazz beat coming we see Eric Weaver coming from the curtains.
"Won't you stop and take
A little time out with me
Just take five"
Eric waves at the fans as he walks down the ramp.
"Though I'm going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day
Not a single word do we say
It's a pantomime and not a play
Still, I know our eyes often meet
I feel tingles down to my feet
When you smile, that's much too discreet
Sends me on my way"
Eric slides in the ring from underneath the bottom ropes.
"Wouldn't it be better
Not to be so polite
You could offer a light
Start a little conversation now
It's alright, just take five
Just take five"
As the music fades we see Eric holding his right hand in the air as he looks over to the crowd.
Missy: And his opponent, from Dallas, Texas, standing at 6’ and weighing in at 225lb, he is your Honor Champion… “The Black Dragon” Alex Jones!!!
Would you still be there by Of Mice and men blasts over the PA system. Alex Jones walks out with his arms out on either side, an arrogant grin on his face. He stops in the center of the stage and throws his hand down onto it dropping to one knee as pyros explode from either side. He slowly looks up from this position and slides to his feet throwing his hand out and spinning around to show the back of his shirt that reads "Turn up, steal the show, f@#$ bitches, repeat" He makes his way to the apron and leaps up onto it before spinning leaning his back against the top rope, he hooks his leg around the middle rope stepping on the bottom one to slide and bounce into the ring. Alex climbs to the middle turnbuckle and throws his hands to each side again before jumping down.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Lauren: We have an interesting match that could have some future implications. We have a title, non title match about to take place. Here’s how this one goes. Eric can become the new Honor champion if he beats Alex in less than five minutes.
Oscar: However if Eric defeats Alex in more than five minutes this becomes a non title match but Eric will then go on to face Alex at the upcoming Turmoil pay per view for a shot at the Honor title.
Lauren: Being a five minute challenge, Alex needs to beat Eric in less than five minutes in order to face a different challenger come Turmoil. If Alex wins but takes longer than five minutes, Eric will go on to face Alex at Turmoil.
Oscar: Alright as they are about to start this one a clock has been put up on the tron so once the bell rings the countdown will begin. The way I see it both of these men are good the only question is can one beat the other in five minutes or less?
Lauren: That is the question and it looks like we all are about to find out as the bell sounds and these two lock up. Eric hits a European uppercut and then quickly lands a dropkick. With Alex down Eric runs and hits a leaping knee drop. Eric then follows that up with the Garvin stomp.
Oscar: Eric goes for the cover while hooking the leg…
1...Kickout!
Oscar: Not enough to keep the champion down. Both men make their way to their feet. Eric attempts to lock up but gets kicked in the midsection and hit with a snap ddt. Grabbing the head of Eric, Alex helps him up only to hit a pendulum backbreaker.
Lauren: High impact move as the champion looks at the tron for a moment seeing nearly two minutes of time are gone.
Oscar: Alex continues to press his attack. Following up with a rolling neck snap and a cover of his own, leg hooked!
1..
2..Kickout!
Lauren: Eric gets the shoulder up. Alex moves to the corner and waits as Eric gets up to his feet. Alex runs at him and hits a spear. Alex climbs up on the top turnbuckle…
Oscar: Wait, that’s Alana Allure. What is she doing running down to the ring?
Lauren: She gets up on the apron and the referee is telling her to get down and go to the back but she seems to be arguing about something.
Oscar: Wait there’s Eyesnsane coming out of the crowd and leaping over the barricade. He runs and slides into the ring while Alex is still on the top turnbuckle. Eyesnsane reaches behind his back and reveals his nun chunks just as Eric is getting to his feet. Eyesnsane just blasts him with a shot from the nun chucks and then rolls out of the ring and lays down on the floor.
Lauren: Alana hops down off of the ring apron and heads to the back. The referee turns around to see Eric laid out. Alex looks around for a moment and at the tron seeing there is only forty-five seconds left. Alex leaps into the air and hits a flying double leg stomp and then hooks the leg and covers.
1…
2..
3!
Oscar: Wow, give the assist to Alana and Eyesnsane.
Lauren: There was exactly twenty seconds left.
Missy: Here is your winner, by pinfall and still the Honor champion! Alex Jones!!!
Oscar: Hearing the announcement, Eyesnsane gets to his feet. Alex rolls out of the ring and grabs his title as Eyesnsane gets back up on the ring apron while Eric is laid out in the ring and suddenly Mickey comes running from out of the back with his signature decorated baseball bat and slides into the ring.
Lauren: Mickey raises the bat after getting between Eric and Eyesnsane. Seeing this Eyesnsane hops down off the apron and goes back over the barricade and into the crowd. Then Mickey checks on Eric…
The cameras heads backstage and we see Honor Champion, Mercedes Vargas, in casual clothes, more specifically jeans and her authentic Honor "Mercedes" t-shirt. As always she has her checklist in hand and proudly wears her championship around her waist. Mercedes has a thoughtful expression on her face as she addresses the camera.
Mercedes: So, being the Honor Champion comes with some pretty nice perks. First-class travel, only the best hotels and restaurants, and I get to show up when I want, whenever I want. Even better? I get to pick my own matches.
Mercedes nods adding a slow smile.
Mercedes: So I'm guessing everybody knows about the worst-kept secret. Ernest Jackson has given me a another opportunity to pick my own opponent for Showdown next week. But come on, let's be honest. When you've run out of competition when you've cleaned out the entire women's roster, what choice is there?
She raises and lowers her shoulders in an obnoxious fashion.
Mercedes: This past Monday officially began the eighth month of my undefeated streak. For 243 days I have never been pinned or submitted. Sure, there was a disqualification loss in there, but I've been told by Honor management that it's been stricken from the record. My point is, Honor has searched the roster to find somebody, anybody to do the impossible. But that doesn't seem to apply to you, right, Crystal Hilton?
She offers her hands out in timing of the "right, Crystal" line, then r
Mercedes: You keep saying you want to prove you're the best between us point blank, but how can anyone believe that when you've been drawing blanks? I have an awesome opportunity to choose someone who never even had a title match before: a Char Kwan or Cindy Warren; a Kate Steele or Delia Darling; any member of the Boss Ladies or even the Ruin Sisters. But you want to force your way into a title match against me?
Mercedes mouths the word wow and begins a slow applause.
Mercedes: Then you want to play the punk card like I don't see what you're doing. I have nothing to prove to you. But somehow you do so you want to bait me to put my title on the line. Didn't you say that I'm not the best in your eyes? Why aren't you facing Alicia? Lord knows she needs someone else to make famous. You'd be a perfect fit. But you don't have to be a star, sweetie, to be in my show.
She shakes her head.
Mercedes: You want to face me in a match that's right up your alley...a Ladder match. Do you even know what you're asking? Facing you three times in four weeks this month alone should be a damn felony. You know what? I don't care what stipulation you would have picked.
Mercedes starts counting on her fingers.
Mercedes: You can pick Falls Count Anywhere, No DQ, you can even pick a Casket match.
She points to herself.
Mercedes: I don't care. I'm going to kick your ass and I'm going to retain my title.
Mercedes goes quiet.
Mercedes: Some of these girls have been sitting on the absolute lowest rung of the ladder here in Honor. Come next week, they'll watch you climb that ladder, only for me to kick you off of it in Atlanta.
Missy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Legacy Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, from right here in Charlotte, North Carolina, standing at 5’4” and weighing in at 120lb, she is “The Nurse”... Cindy Warren!!!
“Get Well Soon by Reggie & The Full Effect” blasts all over the speakers. As it does the beautiful Cindy Warren emerges from the back accompanied by her husband James. She smiles as she is wearing a stethoscope around her neck. She holds the end to the crowd to check the life of the crowd and they welcome her with loud cheers. She grins as she stretches her arms out and slaps the hands of the people cheering her on. She slides into the ring and slowly rises to her feet. She proudly raises her hands in the air and waits for her opponent to come out.
Missy: And her opponent, from Southampton New York by way of Atlanta Georgia, standing at 5’8” and weighing in at 150lb, she is your Legacy Champion… “The Lioness” Alicia Lukas!!!
"Wild Eyes" By Parkway drive hits as Alicia steps out with a black hoodie over her upper half with the hood up over her long blond hair. She makes her way down to the ring and runs up the steps before climbing the ropes on the outside, she flips the hood back before putting her arms out, she smiles at the crowd before leaping into the ring from the outside and taking off the hoodie
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Lauren: And the ladies start things off by circling one another. In a sign of respect to the hometown star Cindy Warren, Alicia tucks one hand behind her back and extends her fist toward Cindy.
Oscar: Cindy looks at her for a moment before slowly accepting the sign of respect. Both ladies step back a foot or two before the circling continues. In a split second, both ladies charge at each other with a tie-up.
Lauren: Cindy tries to overpower Alicia, but Alicia grounds her weight. Both women give a mere step before pushing back. Cindy rolls behind Alicia with a Rear Waist Lock, but Alicia elbows her in the face.
Oscar: Alicia bounces off of the ropes as Cindy goes for a surprise Clothesline, but Alicia does a Matrix evasion. As she comes back up for a Discus Clothesline, Cindy ducks beneath and brings Alicia down for a Falling Neckbreaker.
Lauren: Alicia holds onto her neck as Cindy picks Alicia up and goes for an Enziguiri, but Alicia throws her door away as she goes for a Pele Kick. Cindy avoids it as if these two are always one step ahead of each other.
Oscar: Alicia follows up immediately with a Rolling Forearm. She then does a Double Knee Drop. She lifts Cindy up from the ground and drops her again, with a Snapmare followed by a Penalty style kick.
Lauren: Alicia pins Cindy’s shoulders to the mat.
1!
2!Kickout
Lauren: Cindy gets her shoulders up fast. Alicia lifts her up to her knees, and then she hits a rapid series of stiff kicks to Cindy’s head and midsection.
Oscar: She takes a step back as the audience cheers her on, and she ends it with a Muay Thai Knee that sends Cindy back down to the mat. She nods her head as “The Lioness” is on the prowl. She drops down for the pin.
1!
2!
Thr-Kickout!
Lauren: She almost can’t believe it as she stands up and drops an elbow across Cindy’s chest. She stands up and hits another. And another. And another! She marches over to the corner as she turns around and raises herself up while facing Cindy.
Oscar: She perches herself on the top turnbuckle. She sizes up the distance for a moment before leaping off with a Frog Splash Elbow Drop. She… OH! Cindy Warren moves out of the way at the last possible second, and Alicia’s elbow meets the mat!
Lauren: Cindy gets up to her feet, stumbling a bit before she hits a Split Legged Drop to Alicia. She hooks the leg for the pin.
1!
Tw-Kickout!
Lauren: Alicia gets the shoulder up before the two count. Cindy picks Alicia up and brings her over with a Snap Suplex. She hooks the leg once more.
1!
2!Kickout!
Oscar: Alicia won’t go down that easily. “No Days Off” Lukas crawls over to the corner where Cindy begins stomping her repeatedly. Alicia blocks as many of them as she can by balling up, but Cindy remains relentless with her attack.
Lauren: Cindy leans down to pick Alicia up, but Alicia shoves her back. She goes for a Spinning Heel Kick to the midsection, but Cindy catches it and pushes her back into the corner. Alicia falls to the ground, and Cindy follows up with a rushing knee.
Oscar: But Alicia moves out of the way. She trips Cindy up over the middle rope as she leaps over the top rope with a Guillotine Leg Drop. She rests on the outside apron, her hand holding her up by the top rope.
Lauren: Cindy holds onto her neck as she stumbles up to her feet. As Cindy turns around, Alicia leaps over with a Vaulting Spear to the inside of the ring. Alicia looks around as she sets up for the Lioness Bite (Gorilla Lock)!
Oscar: Cindy struggles out of it before it is actually applied. As Alicia is forced to let go, Cindy lifts her up for an Angle Slam! She hooks the leg!
1!
2!
Thr-KICKOUT!
Oscar: Alicia kicked out of that! Cindy goes over to the corner, but Alicia brings her back with a surprise German Suplex. She rolls over and locks on the Lioness Bite!
Lauren: Cindy is resisting as best as she can, trying to get to the ropes, but there’s no hope. She taps!
Missy: Here is your winner by submission, and still your Legacy Champion… Alicia Lukas!!!
The crowd gives off a mixed reaction as the referee hands Alicia her belt. Cindy favors her leg as she tries to pull herself up by the ropes. Alicia celebrates her win over the hometown star for a moment before climbing out of the ring to walk up the ramp, holding her belt up high.
Backstage in the General Manager’s office, the door is closed as we hear sounds of excitement. The crowd goes quiet to try to better hear the conversation, but it is of no use. However, a few seconds later, the door opens and General Manager Ernest Jackson emerges with papers in his hands. He straightens out his jacket with a look of pride on his face as he is approached by Marissa Henry.
Marissa: Ernest, we can’t help but wonder what was taking place in there. We have two theories.
Ernest: If one of those theories is a hummer, I’m obligated to say that it was not, even if it was, which it was not.
Ernest winks as Marissa rolls her eyes. Ernest taps Marissa on her shoulder as he laughs to show that he is kidding. Just then, Northern Lights Wrestling General Manager Tad Ezra emerges from the office as he wipes at his mouth. He is stunned to run into Marissa and a camera.
Tad: I promise that is truly not what it looks like. Ernest has a great espresso machine in there, and the foam and beard don’t mix well.
Marissa nods her head, remaining quiet as Tad goes to waft his breath in her direction, and she turns her head slightly.
Marissa: Seeing you, Tad, just confirms one of my theories. May we ask what transpired inside of that office?
Ernest: We will when the time is right. And it seems like that time is now.
Ernest smiles big and bright as he holds his arms out wide.
Ernest: Upon speaking with Tad Ezra and the proxy owner, along with Henry Saxon, we have decided that there is one star on the show who simply feels like Honor Wrestling material. No disrespect to any of the other members of the roster, but it is in the best interest of all parties involved that we, for the first time in history, bring up one of the NLW wrestlers.
Crowd: YEAHHHHHH!!!
Ernest stops to let the crowd cheer loud and proud as someone appears from the left corner, taking center stage, wearing a hooded jacket with the NLW logo printed on the back. He takes the clipboard and contract into his hand as he looks it over.
Tad: While it has been a… pleasure… working with this man, I think it is time that the Honor Universe welcomes to their screens…
The man turns around and throws the hood off of his head as he stands up straight to reveal Kader Hasheem!
Kader: Yes, Honor Wrestling fans and stars alike. Feast your eyes on the future!
Crowd: Boooooo!!!
Kader: As I would expect. At least people in Canada have culture and intelligence, unlike the simple country “folk” of Charlotte, North Carolina. You cannot admit to yourselves that I am what Honor needs. I am what it deserves. I knew when I signed with Northern Lights that I would one day be standing in front of the Honor Wrestling crowd, not as a guest, but as the leading star! Then you will be forced to respect me.
Kader clicks the pen as he goes to sign the contract. However, he stops and looks over to Ernest with a laugh. He shakes his head and hands the contract back to Ernest.
Kader: I won’t sign this. Not with these conditions. I am a future star, and I have everything that it takes to be a champion. As it stands, you have a vacant Legacy Championship.
Ernest: If you are asking me to crown you as the champion, I am afraid I…
Kader: What do I look like to you? A lazy American who wants everything handed to him without working for it? I should say not, and I am insulted that you would think I meant that. No, I don’t want to be handed a title that was held by an honor-less champion such as Travis Blake. I expect you wish to do something big to make up for your screw up, and I want to be a part of that match. Whether it be a Battle Royal, Ladder Match, Hell in a Cell, King of the Hill, tournament… I don’t care. I want it to go on record that I am owed this opportunity before I sign the papers.
Kader huffs and puffs as he turns to Ernest, looking to be enraged. He slowly extends a shaky hand, and Ernest reluctantly reaches up to meet it with his own. They shake on it, but Kader pulls him in for… a hug?
Ernest: Ahhhh! Let me go!
Kader: You… you will not regret this decision, Mr. Jackson. I promise to stop at nothing to reclaim the glory that title once held.
Kader scribbles his signature on one page before flipping and signing the next. He hands it back to Ernest before shedding his jacket to reveal an Honor Wrestling shirt to a mixed reaction. However, he wastes no time in ripping it right in half before handing the memento to Tad, patting him on the shoulder as he walks off. Everyone stands there silent for a moment before they turn and laugh at Ernest’s squeal moments ago.
Missy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall… Introducing first, from San Juan, Puerto Rico, standing at 5’5” and weighing in at 115lb, she is… Crystal Hilton!!!
Kat Deluna’s Run The Show begins to play all over the speakers. The moment it does, Crystal Hilton is lifted up through the stage and she springs to her feet. She smiles as she skips down to the ring slapping the hands of the roaring fans. She quickly slides inside the ring raising a finger in the air before she jumps to the top of the ropes and does a backflip off of it.
Suddenly, the arena lights turn off and the crowd is hyped up for what was in store. As the opening of “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me” by U2 blares across the PA system, the mood of the crowd changes instantly and the arena is under the subtle glowing of the lights. As the lyrics finally kick in, a figure emerges; the highlight of their attire is being under the illusion. Mercedes Vargas stops short of the entrance ramp, hands on waist, and overlooking the crowd.
Missy: Making her way to the ring, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, weighing in at 125 pounds…MERCEEEEEDEEEES VAAAARGAAAAS!!!
Cheers, boos, and catcalls soon greet her. Oblivious and yet satisfied with their reaction for several seconds, she flips her long hair, then makes her way to the ring. As she goes up the steps and walks to the end of the ring apron, she climbs to the turnbuckle, then turns her head back as the camera shows her determined expression-perhaps a message that her opponent will be in for a tough fight. She vaults into the ring and walks over to the opposite corner where she relaxes along the corner ropes watching Crystal with a very careful eye.
DIng! Ding! DIng!
