Zero Hour

Alicia Lukas sits backstage pulling up her knee pads as she looks over at the camera with a small grin.

Alicia Lukas: It's getting closer....

She smiles and pulls her kickpads up now before sliding down to her feet stretching.

Alicia Lukas: You know Samantha and I have said so much to each other lately. From pre match promo's to wars on twitter and the truth is that from the second this match was announced people all around the world picked a side. They tweeted #TeamTolson or #TeamLukas to show their support for either Sm or me. and the thing is that Sam has tried her hardest to be a worthy champion, she has done everything possible to try and make that title mean something. But in the end she's failed..

Alicia laughs to herself and folds her arms over her chest after throwing the Legacy title over her shoulder.

Alicia Lukas: Just look at what happened, she sat there and told the world I apparently "ducked" her for a year but the second this match was made I was excited. It takes two people to "make a match" and Sam never took the initiative, and that's been Sams problem, she wants everything handed to her. I have had to fight for everything I have and everything I've done, she just sits there and whines and complains about respect or lack there of. She has a chance tonight to go out there with me and earn it. But I think it's more likely she'll walk out there...lose...and then do nothing but whine and bitch because she just wasn't good enough....

Alicia nods and smiles before breezing past the cameraman

Earl, Dahlia, and Sarah are backstage in their locker room, the interviewers are making their rounds getting final thoughts from the competitors for their matches. Marissa Henry steps into The Three Way Locker, Sarah looks are her with a glare.

Sarah: You're lucky your not Diego.

Earl: Yeah, that guy is one step away from a hospital bed.

Marissa: I don’t want any trouble, I’m here to get your final thoughts on your match tonight.

Dahlia: Let me tell ya what gonna happen, the bell is gonna ring and Earl and I are gonna beat those two stupid wankers and win the tag team titles.

Earl: You know Marissa, everyone has been witness to what has been happening to people since Dahlia and decided to step into the tag team ranks, we prove that experience and cunning win matches, Debby Ruin hasn’t been the same since I kicked her in the face, and Joker and Jacob Johnson, we never broke a sweat, now I’m sure Duke and Ace will be ready for this match, but the thing is there gonna be like everybody else who has stood in our way to this match, beaten and broken, were walking out of here the Pride Tag Team Champions.

Dahlia cut off her husband and chimes in.

Dahlia: They're gonna find out why Earl and I are rotten to the bloody core.

Earl: Nicely said, so Marissa I’ll end with this, Duke, Ace don’t get your hopes up, those Tag Team titles are ours, and ain’t nothing you can do to stop it.

Marissa: Good Luck tonight.

Dahlia gives Marissa a death stare.

Missy: It is now time for Zero Hour Double Main Event!!! This next match is a 2 out of 3 falls and is for the Pride Tag Team Championship!!!

The lights dim to almost a complete darkness, before a faded red spotlight, blue spotlight, and a bright white spotlight hit the stage, focusing on the center of the curtain.

"It's about that time"

The words play over the music before the sound of a racking shell in a shot gun is heard. At this point, Duke Andrews emerges from behind the curtain. A black hooded vest, with the hood over his head as he steps to the center of the ramp. As the music picks up, a small flash of the lights hit behind Duke before he slowly saunters to the ring.

Missy: 1st on his way to the ring, from Grand Rapids, Michigan… He is Michigan's Favorite Son, The American Rebelution Duke Andrews!!!!!

Duke Ignores those to the left and the right, before slowly stepping into the ring. Walking to the far left post, before climbing to the top rope.

Missy: And his partner!!!

A countdown starts on the big screen in a fast progression from five to one before "Adrenalize" hits the speakers and the spotlights start to spin and focus in on the stage. The fans immediately give a loud mixed reaction as at the top of the stage Ace Marshall steps out with Oakley shades and a black reflective jacket.

ADRENALIZE ME

He pauses before raises his arms up for the crowd as strobe lights break out throughout the arena for the crowd in different shades of red, blue and green in rapid succession. Smoke erupts from underneath him and along the ramp way. He snaps his fingers and bobs his head before pointing out to the crowd.

Missy: "Making his way to the ring, from Houston, Texas, The One Man Extravaganza, Ace Marshall!"

He makes his way down the ramp. Reaching the ring Ace slides in before standing up and running his hands through his hair, singing along with the song while making mocking gestures to fans in the front booing. He then proceeds to one of the turnbuckles, climbing up it before looking out into the crowd while thrusting an arm up. Dropping down after a moment he turns his back to the crowd before removing his jacket and shades. He sets them to the side of the apron for an official to grab just as he waits for his opponents.


For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica plays in the arena, Earl, and Dahlia step on the stage, Earl Kneels on the stage as Dahlia paces back and forth behind him.

Missy: First on the way to the ring from Edmonton Alberta Canada, They are the tandem known as The Three Way. There manager Sarah, along with Dahlia Rotten and Earl Lockyer!!!

they walk to the ring Earl leaps from the floor to the ring apron, Dahlia slides under the ropes, Dahlia leans through the ropes with a smirk on her face as Earl leans over the ropes.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Oscar: We have Earl starting things off with Ace and Earl hits a lariat to get things started. Circling around his downed opponent he moves too Ace’s head and forces him to sit up and applies a nerve hold. The referee steps in and checks the hold to make sure it not a choke.
Lauren: Ace is trying to get back to his feet and pulling himself up with the ropes causing the referee to call for a break of the hold. Earl lets go steps back and hits a running bulldog. Earl picks up Ace and hits a flapjack. Earl picks up Ace and whips him into his own corner and just stands across the ring.
Oscar: Duke tags himself in as Ace slumps into the corner. He and Earl meeting the center of the ring and we see more of the same as Earl hits a scoop slam and then he’s whipped into the ropes and Earl hits a running power slam. Earl picks up Duke and sends him into Earl’s corner where Earl follows him in tagging in Dahlia.

Lauren: Dahila now in control of things hits a brainbuster. Followed by a back body drop and then she moves into position and hits a full nelson bomb and she immediately applies “Rotten to the Core”.

Oscar: Oh, Duke can’t move, he can’t get to the ropes. The question is how long can he hold on? Ace gets into the ring but is cut off by Earl as the hold remains locked in. That’s it he’s tapping!


Missy: The first fall is awarded to the team, Three Way!


Lauren: The hold is broken but the damage looks done. The action will continue in just a moment now that both teams are in their respective corners. The bell sounds as Dahlia and Ace now meeting the center of the ring where she gets the advantage and hits a sidewalk slam and then picks him up and hits a snap suplex.
Oscar: Dahlia tags in Earl and he comes in taking control of Ace and sends him to the ropes and hits a big boot. Earl picks him up and hits an Implant DDT. Taunting the crowd Earl picks Ace up once more and hits “EL.91” he covers

Missy: The winners of this match and the new Pride Tag Team Champions, Dahila Rotten and Earl Lockyer... The Three Way!!!

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.

Missy: She is from Southampton New York by way of Atlanta Georgia, she is The Lioness, The Legacy Champion…. Alicia Lukas!!!!!

Alicia 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.


[The lights go down in the arena, and the hard guitar opening of Superchick's "Hey Hey" begins to filter through the sound system.]

Some people you can never please
You might as well just let them be
They mock everything not their own
From their imaginary throne

(whispered)

But I won't bow down
Even if the whole world
Thinks I'm crazy

[Samantha Tolson then steps out onto the entryway, throwing a couple of gentle punches at the air, then a kick or two before raising her arms to the cheering crowd.]

So hey hey
This song is for us
So put your hands in the air
If you're crazy like us


Hey hey
Hey hey
That's freedom you hear
Comin' right to your ear
That's the sound from our bus
Hey hey

[Samantha slaps fives with those along the aisle, walking slowly toward the ring, then around
it, continuing to greet the fans.]

Hey!

[Tolson pumps her right hand, balled into a fist, into the air in time with the chant.]

Hey!

[And does it a second time on the second chant.]

Why try to be like someone else
When you can only be yourself
No one can sing the song you do
Be true be legendary you
So I won't sell out
Even if the whole world
Thinks I'm crazy

[Samantha finally makes her way to ringside, leaping from a flat-footed stance on the floor
straight onto the apron, then slingshots herself into the ring as the announcer makes his announcement.]

Missy: “And her opponent….she is from Jefferson City, Missouri….the first female graduate of Camp Nightfall...standing five feet six inches tall and weighing in this morning at one-hundred fifty-eight pounds….she is….”NO GIMMICKS NEEDED” The Honor Champion SAMANTHA TOLSON!!!

So hey hey
This song is for us
So put your hands in the air
If you're crazy like us
Hey hey
Hey hey
That's freedom you hear
Comin' right to your ear
That's the sound from our bus
Hey hey

[The rock anthem begins to fade out as Samantha stretches on the ropes, awaiting the bell.]

Ding! Ding! Ding!
