Live at The XL Center (Hartford Civic Center) in Hartford, Connecticut.
January 10th 2018
Crowd 15,880 out of 16,300 seats.
Cameras cut to the office of Honor Commissioner Brooke Saxon as she is with Showdown General Manager Ernest Jackson.
Ernest: You were wrong for what you did, Brooke.
Brooke: I’m sure she's not that upset.
Ernest: Whether she is or isn’t does not change the fact that you were wrong.
Brooke: Well what was I supposed to do? The Bad Boys seem to protect her, not screw with the champ.
The door opens up and we see the Honor Champion Mercedes Vargas walk right in.
Brooke: Excuse me, but you knock before entering my office.
Ernest: Now hold up! This is the Honor Champion you're talking to, show her some respect, Brooke.
Brooke: I never said I didn’t respect Mercedes or anyone else for that matter.
Mercedes: Uh, hi. Happy new year. Sorry, I'm late. Being champion never ends, responsibilities and all that. Earnest asked me to meet him in your office. Did I come at a bad time?
Mercedes quiets in confusion as she points her finger at Brooke and Earnest, not sure of the argument she staged witness to between the Honor authority figures.
Brooke: Well, Ernest, you asked her to come in here so what’s going on.
Ernest: You know what, Brooke.
Brooke: Ugh, fine! Mercedes, I apologize for mixing you in with the Bad Boys but what am I supposed to think? They interfere in your matches but don’t attack you, they stopped Winter more than once from attacking you. Clearly you can see how it looks on my end.
Mercedes: Oh, I completely understand. You know, being your Honor Champion and all, Brooke, I'm a little hurt inside, it pains me to know that's how you really think about me. I'm just a humble employee, you're my boss. We need to have a strong bond. This witch hunt you got going on about who is part of Bad Boys, these baseless allegations against me joining those common street thugs only drifts that bond apart. They say absolute power corrupts absolutely. It's just a matter of when.
Ernest: Listen to the champion of the world, she is here and since she’s been here she has done nothing but help Honor build the legitimacy it now has among the other companies. All my champions in honor have done that and Mercedes sits on top with her undefeated streak.
Brooke: If I’m wrong then I’m wrong, I can admit that. But I had to know for sure and Mercedes… Well you proven to me that you’re not one of them. I respect you and believe me, I am happy you work for us. I didn’t take too kindly to what was said by you on air the other night when hyping up your match but I guess I asked for it so I only have myself to blame.
Mercedes: No, no. This was one big misunderstanding. I can imagine the tremendously stressful job you're under having to be in charge of an ever changing roster and for that I say good for you for finally taking a stand against Bad Boys. The sooner they realize who really run things around here, the better off we will all be. I just hope we can put this whole ugly episode behind us and I can continue being the champion not only Honor deserves but what you deserve, Brooke. I don't have time to play in the Bad Boys' reindeer games. What do I have to do to make you see that?
Brooke: Since you are not one of them, maybe you wouldn’t mind taking on Winter next week on Showdown then.
Mercedes lets out an arrogant smirk then looks at Ernest.
Mercedes:She can't be serious. There's a whole line of wrestlers who has fallen at my feet since I got here. At this point, I don't have anything left to prove.
Brooke: Hey, you proved me wrong at the Battle Royal now prove it to me again by shutting Winter up!
Mercedes: Alright, her funeral. See you next week.
Mercedes Vargas and Ernest Jackson walk out of Brooke’s office together as the camera cut back to ringside to start the first match.
Brittany: This first match is set for one fall. First from Chicago, IL Eric Weaver!
Take Five starts to play as we hear 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
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
As the music fades we see Eric holding his right hand in the air as he looks over to the crowd.
Brittany: And his partner!

Broken Dreams by Shaman's Harvest starts to play. The beat slowly comes in as the Winter comes out when the lyrics begin.
What's that metronome I hear,
Perhaps the end is drawing near,
You never hear the shot that takes you down.
Winter walks down to the pace of the beat.
Out of time, so say goodbye,
What is yours, now is mine,
And I dream broken dreams,
Brittany: On her way to the ring, from the Snowy Mountains of Canada, Winter Elemental!
Winter howls like a wolf as some fans howl back they continue to walk down the ramp
Bad dreams come true, I make them for you (make them come true)
Winter gets in the ring. Winter climbs the turnbuckle as she starts to howl for her wolves, They howl back.
Out of time, so say goodbye,
What is yours, now is mine,
Winter climbs down as the music fades out. She walks over to her corner.
Brittany: And her partner!
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
I'm just a cross hair
Brittany: 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!
Jacob hopes over the top rope hold one hand up in the air to the crowd's 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.

Winter walks over to a camera man as the fans at home watching can hear loud and clear.
Winter: You see that champ, you see what I done to Eric, you’re next!!
The cameras cut backstage to see Marissa Henry standing by a locker room. She taps her foot for a moment before she clears her throat. She goes to knock on the door, but then it slowly opens. The crowd boos at the very sight of the large Gucci sunglasses and the generally bitchy look on Delia Darling’s face. Marissa mutters under her breath as Delia looks right at her. She slightly lowers her sunglasses, giving her the fiery stare.
Delia: Excusez-moi? Hm? Do you have somes’ing to say to Delia Darling, in a tone z’at is appropriate?
Marissa: I was just saying that it is about time. This interview was scheduled for ten minutes ago, on a very tight schedule.
Delia: Allow moi to make one s’ing very clear to vous, Ms. On-ree… Delia Darling is ready, when Delia Darling is ready, and z’e show always falls into place still. Kay?
Delia tilts her sunglasses back up as she turns away from Marissa, looking and preening her nails as if they weren’t already perfect. Marissa lets out a slight laugh as she shakes her head, turning to the camera.
Marissa: Hello, I am Marissa “On-ree”, standing by with a woman who apparently needs no introduction.
Delia: Hm, yes… of course…
Marissa: Now, Delia. I have heard so many great things about you and your past in Sin City Wrestling. I was admittedly surprised when you were the first woman eliminated in the battle royal last week.
Delia catches the catty tones of Marissa, but she chooses not to acknowledge them as she clicks her nails together one last time before slightly turning toward Marissa.
Delia: Yes, I was too. But, as you will see, ras’er z’an just hear, I am full of surprises. I’ve made a career of it, darling. I stopped and s’ought to myself, “Delia? You have two options, really. You can beat every woman stupid enough to step foot into z’e ring against you, taking down z’e entire roster at once…” Because z’at is exactly what would happen… “or, you can shock z’em all, while showing Brooke who truly is z’e boss, and eliminate yourself.”
Marissa: Some would have called that a “coward’s move”, such as Gianni Di Luca, who won the Men’s Battle Royal just moments later.
Delia stares at Marissa for a moment, and it is clear to everyone that she wants to start screaming in her raspy voice, but she simply puts a hand in Marissa’s face.
Delia: Let’s be honest. Let’s say z’at z’e entire Honor women’s roster would have entered z’is battle royal? Past and present, even. Alicia Lukas, Courtney Leinhart, Dahlia Rotten, Tatsu Ikeda… z’e outcome would have been z’e same had I not removed myself from z’e match, and given Brooke Saxon z’e satisfaction of watching me fight my friend, Winter, and my former friend Mercedes. One by one, Syrin, Cindy Warren, Kate Steele, Char Kwan, would all tumble to z’e outside of the ring. Z’ey would land next to Crystal Hilton, Debbi and Stacy Ruin, Winter, Latoya Hixx, Mrs. Right, and even Mercedes Vargas. I earned my reputation. Just ask Jessie Salco, who I hear has signed wi’s Honor, to follow me like a groupie. I don’t have a long list of title reigns, but z’e ones that I do have, I made count. I am a queen, and z’at out z’ere will be my ring.
Marissa: Sweetheart, you have to earn that title by doing something that doesn’t involve throwing yourself over the top rope at the first sign of trouble.
Delia blinks beneath her sunglasses, and a smile that is as devious as ever seen comes across her face. She reaches over and gently pats Marissa’s suit jacket. She looks down at the ground, thinking it over as she nods her head continuously
Delia: I accept your challenge. If z’is is how it must be… z’en so be it. S’anks to Ms On-ree, z’ere is now a target on every bitch in z’is dog pound’s back.
Delia starts to walk into her locker room, but before she closes the door, she turns back around, with her handbag held open between her hands. She reaches in and pulls out a bit of cash as she rolls it up and sticks it in Marissa’s inside jacket pocket.
Delia: Buy yourself a new suit, darling. Z’is one looks like shit…
And with that, Delia disappears into her locker room and she gently closes the door behind her. Marissa locks her jaw as she simply shakes her head in pure and utter amazement before she walks away.
Dr. Weaver’s office.
Earl, Sarah, and Dahlia are waiting for Dr. Weaver.
Dahlia: I wish she’d hurry the bloody hell up.
Sarah: I’m sure she’ll be here any moment.
Dahlia paces back and forth as Dr. Weaver enters.
Earl: What’s the word Doc, is Dahlia gonna be able to wrestle tonight.
Dr.Weaver: First off thanks for coming, Dahlia didn’t suffer any broken bones from the Brass knuckle shot, but I'm keeping you out of this week's show, because although you didn’t suffer any broken bones my fear is that you may have suffered a concussion.
Dahlia: I feel fine.
A guy walks into the office and hands Dr. Weaver a file and leaves, Dr. Weaver opens the file and reads the report inside.
Dr.Weaver: Well you didn’t suffer a concussion but for safety precautions, I’m keeping you out of this week show.
Earl: Dahlia is supposed to be my tag team partner this week.
Dr. Weaver: I am aware of that, but I think its best that she rest this week and be ready for the next show, so if you can find another tag partner I would advise doing that.
The Three way walk out of Dr. Weaver’s office.
Sarah: Where are you gonna find a partner at this short of notice.
Earl: I know just the guy to ask.
Brittany: This next match is set for one fall. Gorst on the way to the ring!
The Golden Age by The Asteroids Galaxy Tour starts to play.
I wished I lived in the golden age
Giving it up on the Broadway stage
Hang with the rats and smoke cigars
Have a break with Frank and count the stars
Brittany: From Scottsdale, AZ... Stacy Ruin, Debbi Ruin… The Ruin Sisters!
Dressed to the nines, with hair to match
Shiny jewels, casino cash
Tapping feet wanna take the lead
A trip back in time is all I need
Stacy and Debbi high fives as many soldiers as they can while reaching ringside.
Oh!
Sing it out loud gonna get back honey
Sing it out loud get away with me
They slide in the ring as the music fades out
Brittany: And there opponent!!
"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. We see her Legacy Title trying to stick out from the hoodie.
Brittany: Making her way to the ring, from Southampton New York by way of Atlanta Georgia... She is the Legacy Champion!! "The Lioness" Alicia Lukas!!
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.
Brittany: And her partner!! From Dallas, TX... The 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: What a match up for the Ruin Sisters, they will get a chance to take on two of the best in this business. Getting the match they wanted!
Oscar: They asked for the best and Jerry Wilcox delivered by putting Honor and Legacy, teacher and student, Sensei and Grasshopper!
Lauren: Which one you calling a Grasshopper my dear?
Oscar: Alicia… Hey champ...
Lauren: Oh worried she may have heard you when she turned to look at you?
Oscar: Alex and Stacy start this match off, Alex quickly grab Stacy's are sending her to the ropes. She bounces off returning back to Alex who picks her up from the side as she does a Tilt-A-Whirl around Alex landing on one foot on the mat the other wrapped around his head as she extends his outer arm and some form of a modified Octopus stretch!
Lauren: this match literally just started and it could be over just like that as she has the submission hold locked pretty good in the middle of the ring. The referee looks on as Alex signals no with his other hand!
Alex: Get off of me and fight me Stacy!
Stacy: Make me!!
Oscar: Alex still in the Octopus stretch, uses his upper body strength to lift Stacy up in the air of it. Alex manages to Luther up a bit higher and takes his free hand to grab her leg, Alex Benz down using the momentum to get Stacy to release the hold as he drops her with a modified Alabama slam!
Lauren: Stacy hits her head hard on the mat as Alex just shrugs it off as he looks at Stacy’s sister Debbi… Alex looks on as Stacy gets on all fours before trying to get up… Alex grabs Stacy’s head and locks in The dragon sleeps (Pedigree)!
Oscar: Stacy pinches Alex above his knees. He lets go of the hold… As she starts to straighten up Alex Kicks her in the gut then grabs her head to drop her with a Snap DDT… Alex grabs the area Stacy pinched as he heads over to tag in Alicia!
Lauren: Stacy gets up and heads towards the corner of Alicia who waits for Stacy to get closer… Suicide dive!... No a Headscissors takedown counter from Stacy Ruin. Alicia goes flying into the ring the hard way. Stacy heads to her corner to tag in Debbi!
Oscar: Debbi gets in the ring… Alex jumps back in the ring as Debbi goes to grab Alicia. Alex goes for a German Suplex but gets blocked. Debbi bends down and bits on Alex’s wrist… He lets go as the Ref gets on Alex’s case to get out the ring!
Lauren: Alicia grabs Debbi by the hair which gets the referee to start yelling at Alicia… Alaica keeps the ref busy as Alex tosses Beddi out the ring and quickly grabs Stacy and sulpex’s her back in the ring. Alex leaves the ring as the ref turns around and sees Stacy on the mat!
Oscar: Debbi slides in the ring but the ref yells at her to get out… Alicia jumps up in the air for a knee drop on Stacy’s chest. Debbi pleads with the referee as Alex laughs on the apron. Alicia gets up and picks Stacy up… Alicia sends Stacy to the ropes, Stacy bounces off and head back towards Alicia to get dropped on her back as Alicia looks her up for a Double-A style Spinebuster!
Lauren: This is not right, Debbi is the legal Ruin Sister not Stacy!
Oscar: Alicia picks up Stacy and gets behind her… She locks in for a German Suplex… Alicia hits three of them before letting go trying to go for the cover. She only gets a two count as Stacy kicks out!
Lauren: Which is not right as she is not the legal Ruin Sister!
Oscar: Alicia goes and tags in Alex… Debbi yells at Stacy to get up and tag her but Stacy is hurt but starts to get up… Alex gets in the ring... Spear!
Lauren: Alex takes Stacy down… Alex grabs Stacy’s arm… AJ lock! (Cross Armbar). Stacy refuses to give or tap out as the referee checks on her. Alex Ben's are army Bends her arm a bit to apply more pressure!
Oscar: this is not looking good for Stacy as Alex has her down right in the middle of the ring. The Legacy and Honor Champion are in a position to win this without having the legal Ruin sister in the match!
Lauren: this is just not right but at this point, it's a mute point as now the sisters find themselves in a bad position… the referee keeps asking Stacy but she still refuses as we can see her face turning red in the pain but it's just refusing to give up!
Oscar: Debbi is seen hitting the turnbuckle yelling at her sister to just tap out!
Lauren: why was Debbi want Stacy to tap out for?
Oscar: to avoid injury Lauren, to go on and wrestler another day without getting hurt… Alex tries to bend her arm back a bit more as we hear Stacy screaming in pain… Debbi now gets off the apron…
Lauren: Where is Debbi going?
Oscar: Looks like she is heading to Dr. Smith.
Lauren: What is Debbi Doing, is she trying to get Dr. Smith to stop the match?
Oscar: Not to sure… Wait Debbi reaches down by Dr. Smiths med kit… Debbi grabs Dr. Smiths white towel!
Debbi runs to the side of the ring to see the ref face to face, she throws the white towel in the ring… The referee immediately cost for the Bell to ring as Debbi has forfeited the match on behalf of Stacy with the throwing of the white towel
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Brittany: Your winners of this match. The Legacy Champion Alicia Lukas and the Honor Champion Alex Jones!
The camera moves backstage to the office area. Jerry Wilcox is seated at his desk in his leather office chair. He is watching the monitor as he hits down a few notes. Suddenly there is a knock at the door, followed by it opening up. The camera moves in to see Erik Staggs carrying a bottle of scotch in one hand, and two glasses stacked in the other.
Erik: There’s the man with a plan… How’s it hanging, Jerry?
Jerry: Erik, what a very expected surprise, given the fact that I called for this sit down.
Erik sets the glasses down on the desk before opening up the bottle of scotch. He pours one glass and slides it over to Jerry. Jerry shakes his head as he slides the glass back to Erik.
Jerry: That won't be necessary, Erik.
Erik: Nonsense… consider it but a token of gratitude.
Jerry looks around as if he is making sure Brooke is nowhere to be seen, he takes the glass...
Jerry: I’d rather you have this, but since you are the man who manages all the tag team champions right now then why not, just this once.
Jerry takes the shot then places the glass in the table by Erik.
Erik: Here’s to yet another great show, thanks to our combined genius.
Erik pours himself a glass, slowly sipping on it. He pours another for Jerry and they cheer to it.
Erik: I am a man who knows a thing or two about tag team wrestling, and gaining ratings. It's no wonder why we see eye to eye.
Jerry: Between you and me, Brooke is all about ratings but has her own vision on how to get them. She knows what she’s doing but she it a bit boring if you will… You however have some ideas that I may not agree with but I agree with the results that Pride gets in return. The Bad Boys chaos and Pride tag Team ratings seem to go hand in hand if you ask me.
Erik: Ernest hasn't wised up just yet. He's seeing things from the “boring” point of view. I might be the general of the army, but she started a war and dropped the poor guy in the middle of it. I have some control, but part of the method to my madness includes encouraging my Bad Boys to never say no to their wants and desires, no matter how ridiculous they might be. That means that even if I wanted to, which I clearly don't, I couldn't stop them. And now with the return of the revamped Mean Girls, nobody is safe. So it warms my heart to call you an ally.
Erik picks up his glass and takes another sip before reaching over and patting Jerry on the shoulder.
Erik: Just do us both a favor and keep on seeing things from our point of view. It's best for business, really. But, you already know that. You're a wise man, Jerry. Now, if you'll excuse me? The show is finally about to start…
With that, Erik slides the bottle over to Jerry before walking out of the office, closing the door behind him, and leaving Jerry with something to think about. The cameras don't focus for too long before they switch over to find Ernest Jackson.
Camera cut to GM Ernest Jackson
Ernest: Last week I got with Legacy Champion Travis Blake
Cameras cut to the Honortorn
Friday, January 5th, 2018 Detroit, Michigan
We see Ernest Jackson with Legacy Champion Travis Blake as they sit at a bar showing the night NBA game.
Ernest: Thank you for meeting with me Champ.
Travis: I got nothing else better to do so no problem at all.
Ernest: First off let just apologize for Brooke’s behavior on New Year's Eve. This Bad Boys stuff has her all crazy. She started going after my champions and I don’t take to kindly to that. Rather she sees you promoting, or “hyping up the match” as she puts it or not is her problem, not yours. I see how you go about your business and look where it has got you. You are the Legacy Champion, don’t let the little temper she now wants to display change how you go about business.
Travis: People have been doing this crap since I started professional wrestling so her acting the way she did is nothing for me to worry about at all.
Ernest: Now I wanted to talk to you about a way to shut her up so she can see you are one of the best we have. SO next Showdown you will open the show vs John Blade…
Travis cuts Ernest off with a unimpressed look on his face.
Travis: Wow John Blade......Are you Ser.....
Ernest: Hold on now champ, let me finish before you feel like I’m insulting you. You will open the show and then will main event the same show in a triple threat match vs Eric Weaver and Micky Carroll in a non-title match of course.
Travis: So basically a night off per say? Defeat three men I've already humiliated and defeated before? Fine with me boss man.
Camera cut back to Ernest Jackson live
Ernest: So Brooke, you see, I have Travis Blake busy next week, I hope you show the Legacy Champion some more respect going forward.
Next Week
AND!!!
“Menage et Trois” by Paloma Ford begins playing over the speakers.Earl steps on the stage accompanied by Sarah, they walk to the ring and enter, a spotlight shine on the rings. Sarah wrap their arms around Earl's neck and he give the crowd an arrogant smile.
Brittany: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, standing at 6’5” and weighing in at 256lb, he is… Earl Lockyer!!!
Earl parts ways with Sarah, whispering to her as she nods her head. Earl moves down to the ring to wait for his partner.
Brittany: And his partner… standing at 5’9” and weighing in at 165lb, from FoShan, China, he is… Blasted Monk!!!
As Blasted Monks theme starts to play we see Monk walking down the ramp. A mix reaction is heard from the crowd as he makes his way to ringside. Monk gets in the ring and jumps on the top turn buckle. Monk is running on top of the top ropes, as he runs a lap around the ring from the top ropes. The fans cheer as he gets down and gets back in the ring.
Brittany: And their opponents… Introducing first, from Corpus Christi, Texas, standing at 5’9” and weighing in at 155lb, she is… Mrs Right!!!
The lights get lowered and there seems to be a purple hue as the music plays. After a few moments Mrs. Right comes out from backstage stopping for a moment waving to the left and to the right. Then she slowly walks to the ring and then up the steel steps. After she enters the ring, the walks to the center of the ring and turns taking a moment to pause as she faces each side of the ring. Before cutting a stare at the ring announcer as she walks to a corner. And backs herself in while waiting for the action to starts.
Brittany: And her partner, from Sweetwater, Texas, standing at 6’2”, and weighing in at 220lb, he is accompanied to the ring by Lisa Scott, he is… Logan Scott!!!
The tunes to Gavin Rossdale's "Adrenaline" plays and Logan emerges through the curtains to cheers from the fans. He's followed by his 12 year old kid sister, Lisa. The pair goes the ramp tagging hands and working the crowd into a frenzy. At ringside, he hugs Lisa and escorts her to her front row seat. From there, he slides into the ring and runs the ropes, ending the routine with flashy flips and twisting kicks. Then he retreats to his corner, where he bounces up and down in place.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Lauren: And we have a ring veteran in Earl Lockyer starting against our newest addition to the roster in Logan Scott. The two men are sizing each other up as Logan smiles. He gets himself pumped up, but Earl catches him by surprise with a headbutt out of nowhere. Logan spins around, holding the front of his face.
Oscar: Earl doesn't let up as he catches Logan with a European Uppercut that sends the newcomer into the opposite corner. Monk extends his hand for the tag, but Earl snubs his nose at it. He's telling Logan to watch what he says about his wife in the future, but I'm not allowed to say the exact wording on WGN.
Lauren: I would like to think you would defend my honor in the same way. Earl punching Logan repeatedly. I do have to say that Logan can take a hit just as well as Earl can dish it out. Logan is blocking the hits as he backs out of the corner. Earl goes to continue the onslaught of punches when Logan comes out of nowhere with a Pele Kick.
Oscar: And Earl is stunned on the ground. Logan does a fresh take and rolls forward with a Senton and he hooks the leg.

Kickout!
Oscar: And a quick kick out from Lockyer! Both men quickly get back to their feet. Earl sends Logan into the ropes, readying himself, but Logan rebounds with a flying Crossbody to Earl and attempts another pin!
1!Kickout!
Lauren: You can't take Earl down so easily, but each time he has to kick out, it takes just a little bit out of him. Logan Scott moves across the ring as his sister cheers him on from the outside. He dashes forward for another Senton, but Earl rolls out of the way. He begrudgingly tags in Blasted Monk.
Oscar: And Monk is straight out of the gate with a low kick that Logan blocks. He immediately goes for a high kick that lands, sending Logan down to one knee. He nods his head as he stands up and shakes it off. He even claps for his opponent, causing the fans to join in. However, he quickly flies forward with a Yakuza Kick that causes the fans to gasp in shock. His sister claps on the outside of the ring.
Lauren: As Monk gets to his hands and knees, Logan shows off his skills once more as he jumps off of Monk’s back and hits a Whisper In the Wind to Earl. The crowd cheers as he poses on the top rope for a moment, winking at Monk. He puts his feet on the second turnbuckle as he sizes Monk up. He's about to jump off…
Oscar: But Monk comes out of nowhere with the Frankensteiner! And he goes for the cover!

Kickout!
Oscar: Mrs. Right can hold her own with any member of the Honor roster, and she just proved it with that kickout. Monk is not about to take this lying down, even though he will be competing in the very next match. He grabs Mrs Right’s leg and connects with a Dragon Screw, locking on for a second one, and then a third! Blasted Monk is on fire!
Lauren: Mrs. Right holds her own as she scrambles to her feet, shoving Blasted Monk right into Earl, and forcing the tag!
Oscar: Earl doesn’t look happy with the way this tag was forced. He looks down to the outside, and then a sick smile crosses his face. He steps between the ropes, and without missing a step, he claws at Mrs. Right’s face with an eye rake. The referee admonishes him, but he waves the referee off. He tosses Mrs Right into the ropes, but as she returns, she lands an arm breaker that catches everyone by surprise. She immediately locks the Camel Clutch on Earl. Earl struggles to get out of it, but he clearly isn’t expecting the amount of power that Mrs. Right possesses.
Lauren: Earl inches toward the ropes, as Monk attempts to get in the ring. The referee stops him as Logan charges inside of the ring. He bounces into Monk, causing him to slip from the apron, but landing gracefully on his feet. However, Logan dives over the top rope with a Suicide Plancha Dive that levels both men.
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!
Oscar: Earl nearly makes it to the bottom rope, but Mrs. Right drags him back to the center of the ring! Earl tries his very best to get out of it, pounding the mat with his fists. He uses every last bit of energy in him to flip her onto her stomach. He walks it off as best as he can as Mrs Right gets up to her feet. She charges at Earl, but Earl lifts her up for a Flapjack, dropping her back on her stomach, writhing in pain. He picks her back up and drops her with a Scoop Slam. He is relentless in his attack as he hits a kneeling Gutwrench Powerbomb that causes the audience to boo. He hooks the leg.

Thr...Kickout!
Lauren: Mrs. Right gets out of it just in time as she crawls over toward her corner. She sees no one there as Earl grabs her from behind. Logan slowly climbs onto the apron, but Earl is doing his best to drag her away. With a leg rack to Earl’s tender region, Mrs. Right breaks away just in time to tag Logan back in. Logan jumps over the top rope and hits a Hurricanrana on Earl, pinning him, but he instantly kicks out.
Oscar: Earl gets back on his feet, walking gingerly as he grabs onto Logan. He hits a spinning lariat, asserting his dominance…
“Middle Fingers” by Missio begins playing as the audience cheers not for the Bad Boys, but for the action that is bound to ensue.
Oscar: The Bad Boys are rushing down to the ring, but they stop at the ramp. Eyesnsane, Mickey, Dax, and Tim are carrying barbed wire bats as Erik gives them orders. With sick smiles, they begin circling the ring. Lisa Scott backs up to the timekeeper’s table, nervous as she sinks down to the ground. The Bad Boys disregard her as they bash their bats against the turnbuckles and ring steps, laughing like a pack of jackals.
Lauren: Monk steps inside of the ring as the referee shouts out at the Bad Boys and Erik, pleading with him to call them off. Monk steadies himself for an attack when, wait what’s this?! Logan capitalizes on the opportunity as he rolls Earl up out of nowhere.

Brittany: Here are your winners! Logan Scott and Mrs Right!!
Oscar: Logan rolls out of the ring and immediately tends to Lisa as he and Mrs Right carefully guard her as they get out of the Bad Boys’ way. They take their time to celebrate on the ramp as the Bad Boys continue to circle the ring. Monk follows them with his eyes, but Earl steps on the bottom rope, inviting them all inside. Dax and Eyesnsane climb onto the apron first, followed by Mickey and Tim. Earl immediately darts over toward Tim, who drops down, puffing out his chest as he laughs at Earl. Earl smiles right back at him.
The Honor Tron comes on and shows Dahlia backstage, wrapped up in a Bad Boys white hooded jacket. She simply stares at the camera with an angry look on her face. She slowly raises her hand to show off a pair of bloodied brass knuckles. She flexes her muscles, causing the jacket to rip at the seams. She slowly removes it and tosses it to the ground, where we see a bloodied and battered Gianni Di Luca, who is barely breathing on the ground
Lauren: D… Dahlia Rotten just took out the biggest Bad Boy with the help of her trusty brass knuckles. She laughs in pleasure as she walks off. Back at ringside, Earl is laughing as he slides out of the ring and up the ramp. He points to each of the Bad Boys before sliding his thumb across his neck and laughing.
Oscar: Erik sends Dax and Tim chasing after Earl, who is given his escape as Brook Saxon orders the dumpster to be rolled down to the ring. Saxon gives Earl time to get out of here as the angry Bad Boys take chase.
Lauren: Minus Eyesnsane and Mickey Carroll. Monk is still on guard as he moves to the opposite side of the ring from Mickey and Eyesnsane. The only thing that is missing is…
“Sky’s the Limit” begins playing as Latoya Hixx runs down the ramp. She slides inside of the ring and backs up Blasted Monk.]
Brittany: The following contest is a Dumpster Match for the Pride Hardcore Tag Team Championships! Introducing the challengers, at a combined weight of 279lb, they are Blasted Monk and Latoya Hixx!
Latoya does the Legit slide, showing off her Legit ring before brushing off her shoulders. Blasted Monk catches his breath from his previous match.
Brittany: And the champions! At a combined weight of 420lb, and representing the Bad Boys, they are Mickey Carroll and Eyesnsane!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Lauren: And the match is off to a very rough start as Monk hits a spinning heel kick to Mickey and Latoya hits a Roundhouse Kick to Eyesnsane simultaneously. The fans cheer as Latoya does another Legit slide, smirking at the crowd’s reaction. Eyes kips up to his feet as he goes for Latoya, but Monk catches him from behind with a roll up pin, but quickly bounces off of the ropes to nail a low dropkick to his face. Latoya picks Mickey up and sends him into the ropes. She catches him with a high knee to the face.
Oscar: After their last encounter, I wasn’t sure that these two would stand a chance against the Bad Boys. Latoya has done her homework, scouting out the weak spots of the Bad Boys. She picks Mickey up from the mat and hits a Monkey Flip to Mickey as Monk sends Eyesnsane over with a Tiger Suplex. They look at each other as Latoya lifts up both lids of the dumpster, sending them flying over with a crash. She then lifts Mickey up and Monk lifts Eyesnsane up. They drag the Bad Boys over to the dumpster, and they begin trying to hoist them up.
Lauren: Mickey is almost over, and Latoya is giving it everything that she has. She grinds her foot into Mickey’s side. Eyesnsane bounces his head off of Monk’s with a headbutt. Eyes then grabs Latoya. She turns around and slaps him, but Mickey grabs onto her tights and brings her over, nailing her with rapid punches as she tries to guard her face. Eyesnsane taps Mickey’s shoulder, telling him to let up. He stands up as Monk catches him with a series of his own punches. He bounces between Mickey and Eyes.
Oscar: Eyesnsane and Blasted Monk have a history, and Mickey knows this, stepping in to cut it short. Mickey throws his arms up, but Monk catches him with a side kick. Mickey bounces off of the ropes, and uses his last bit of energy to throw a discus clothesline. Monk falls to the ground, his previous match has started to wear on him. Eyesnsane picks Latoya off of the mat and smacks her with a clothesline that sends her out to the apron.
Lauren: Monk crawls over to Latoya, standing in front of her to block the onslaught. Monk takes the bulk of the hits as he allows Latoya time to recuperate. She crawls over to the corner as she tries to pull herself up to her feet. Mickey and Eyesnsane grind their feet into Monk, with kicks and stomps that slowly take him down to the ground. Mickey nods his head as Eyes steps to the side. Mickey bounces off of the ropes and leapfrog’s off of Eyesnsane’s back, jumping into Monk with a flying kick that sends Monk into the open dumpster. Eyesnsane slams the lid closed onto Blasted Monk.
Oscar: Monk has been eliminated, but Latoya is still in the game. She’s already proven that she can stand up to the Bad Boys. She comes crashing into Mickey, sending him down to the mat as she hits him with a barrage of elbows and punches. Eyesnsane stares at her for a moment, almost as if admiring her work. She steps off of Mickey and leaps off of the second rope with a Moonsault. After a moment of letting this go on, Eyesnsane grabs onto Latoya, pulling her up from the mat by her hair. He sends her into the ropes, ready to send her over with a Back Body Drop into the dumpster, but she holds on and brings him down with a Backbreaker. She rolls him over, getting him with the same treatment that she gave Mickey. Mickey makes it to his feet, but scoffs as he leans against the ropes, folding his arms over his chest. He watches, and even claps for Latoya as she nails Eyesnsane with left’s and right’s. She stands up and heads over to the ropes, where she lands another Moonsault. However, Eyesnsane lifts up his knees, and Latoya holds onto her stomach.
Lauren: Eyesnsane gives Mickey a playful shove, with just a touch of seriousness. Mickey pats him on the back, saying “Fair is fair”. They lift Latoya up, Mickey letting Eyesnsane have this one. He lifts her up in a Military Press Slam as she kicks her feet. Mickey grabs onto her legs as they bring her to the ropes. Latoya wiggles free, but Eyesnsane smacks her with the Flashback, a reverse elbow strike. Mickey picks her up and hits the Drunken Lullabies. Eyesnsane picks her up from the mat and dumps her into the dumpster, leaning in to close the lid.
Brittany: And here are your winners and STILL Pride Hardcore Tag Team Champions… Mickey Carroll and Eyesnsane, the Bad Boys!!!
With that, Mickey and Eyesnsane celebrate in the ring for a moment before exiting the ring. They give the dumpster a few good kicks before laughing and shoving each other to work off their excess adrenaline as the show goes off the air.
