The Honor Arena
A National Treasure
Amber Erickson: Ladies and Gentlemen Stephanie McDiddle!
Stephanie gets a mixed reaction from the crowd as we see Stephanie McDiddle making her way to ringside from. Her entrance music is not being played as we see her not in her ring gear. She makes her way inside the ring. He gives everyone the middle finger so that the boos can over power the cheers for a few seconds. Amber hands her a second microphone as Steph takes it with her right hand.
Amber Erickson: Now we here at Honor Wrestling would like for everyone to please raise As Stephanie will now sing the The Star-Spangled Banner
The lights get dimmed as we see the HonorTron that sits above the ramp light up displaying the American flag. We start to hear drums as the New York Police Department's Honor Guard is seen entering the runway.
They stop just below the big screen. The screen changes from the flag to a night time setting. As stars starts to light up and spell Honor Wrestling the camera zooms out for is to see the Statue of Liberty. The New York crowd start to cheer
Officer: Honor Guard!!! Present arms!!
The officer holding the american flag angles the flag to a 45 degree angle.
Stephanie places the microphone close to her mouth. The ring lights turn off completely as a set of red, white, and blue lights light up around the Honor Guard and a spotlight at Stephanie.
“O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
The HonorTron changes from Statue of Liberty to Mount Rushmore
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Honor Tron switches to Liberty Bell
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
HonorTron switches over to display the logos of the U.S. Armed Forces
O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!”
HonorTron changes over to the American Flag with an American bald Eagle in the background.
Officer: Honor Guard! Order Arms!!
The crowed all cheer for Stephanie as she smiles and waves to the fans. She bows and blows kisses to the Honor Guard men. As they march back to the backstage area
Justin Jones vs John Blade
The opening match was debuting Justin Jones vs The Face That Runs the Place, John Blade. Jones was looking to make an impact, as they would lock up, as he hits Blade with some knees to the gut, before doing a hip toss. Blade starts to get up before he is hit with a dropkick. Jones seems to be in control, but soon loses it as Blade comes back. Blade hits Jones with a spine buster as he starts to come back. As Jones is on the mat, Blade hits him with Five Knuckle Shuffle. Blade bends down, picking Jones up, as he sets him up. He soon hits him with The Blade Breaker before pinning him for the win.
Andi Michaels vs Red Dragon
The next match had Andi Michaels facing Red Dragon. Dragon was looking to pick up a win, while Andi was looking to keep winning. The two would circle each other, before Andi reaches out slapping Dragon after he makes a few remarks. He steps back, holding his face, but gets hit with a dropkick, knocking him into the ropes. As he is against the ropes, Andi hits him with Running double knee strike. He falls down to the mat, as Andi looks down smirking. She moves to the turnbuckle as she goes up, before hitting a moon sault on Dragon. She pins him for the win.
Thomas Miller vs Eyesnsane
With our great pre show match we get the main show started off with these two men. There seems to be more to the match then what was let on. Thomas Miller made his way to the ring first and was followed by the number one contender for the Prestige Championship Eyesnsane. Both men started the match off fast and the hitting was hard. The match up may have started inside of the ring but they definitely had some fun on the outside and inside the crowd. The crowd loved as they cheered them off. Miller had Eyesnsane on the ropes later on during the match and got a few near pin falls but in the end it was Eyesnsane picking up the win to once again show Honor Wrestling just how good he is and why he will be the next Prestige Champion.
GoldFISH
Tables Match
Dahlia Rotton vs Kate Steele
This match opened up with tables surrounding the ring, as it was for a tables match putting Dahlia Rotten vs Kate Steele. The match started off with Kate trying to get the upper hand over the much bigger Dahlia. Each time, Dahlia would power over her. Kate was getting frustrated, as she lands some drops kicks on her, and still not knocking her down. Dahlia would manage to get the upper hand, as she was soon man handling Kate, throwing, and tossing her around the ring. Once Kate was down on the mat, Dahlia brings a table in, as she sets up. She goes over, grabbing Kate by her hair, pulling her up. She hits Rotten To The Core on Kate. She picks her up again, as she shows her strength one last time, slamming Kate through the table for the win.
Light R Up
Serenity Wilson vs Sadie Wilson
We never thought we would see a family rival yet alone a Wilson versus Wilson match ever happen in Honor Wrestling. Serenity Wilson came out to the ring with a very good pop from the crowd. She was followed by her cousin Sadie Wilson who seemed to have a new attitude towards things as she made her way out from the back towards the ring as the fans gave her a mixed reaction for her return to Honor even though it was just a one night only deal.
Once the two were in the middle of the ring they stared at one another as they walked to the center of the ring as they listened to the referee's instructions. Sadie said something as Serenity was walking away but what she heard she stopped in her tracks. As she turned around she received a slap across the face by her cousin. Sadie seemed to be down talking Serenity and went for another slap but it was blocked and Serenity gave her a slap of her own which caused the arena to erupt.
Despite each being trained by their respected trainers only one trainee outshines the other tonight and tonight it was Serenity Wilson picking up the win over her cousin Sadie Wilson. After the match Sadie was upset she lost as the fans began the infamous chant, 'Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye!'
Opened Wounds
Honor Wrestling Championship
Samantha Tolson vs Tiffany Prada (C)
The main event of the evening where we got to see the Honor Wrestling Championship get defended was a mind blower. Both of the women came out to the ring looking for one thing and that was to walk away at the end of the night as the Honor Wrestling Champion. The challenger made her way to the ring first who was than followed by the reigning champion. The two looks at one another until the referee showed them both the championship. As the referee gave the championship to the time keeper Prada tackled Tolson to the mat and the two began to roll around throwing punches at one another as the bell rang out.
They would spill to the outside of the ring and each woman tossing each other into the barrier. Once they got back into the ring it was the challenger with the upper hand giving the champion a couple suplexs and went for the count only to receive a two count. The challenger kept on her with an arm bar but Prada was quick to make it to the ropes to break the hold.
Later on during the match came a lot of near fall attempts, some where it was a second away from a win for either women. The crowd was seriously enjoying the match up as it was match of the night or even match of the year thus far. It had a lot of back and forth action but all great matches have to come to an end and sadly this one did come to an end as Samantha Tolson pinned Tiffany Prada to win the Honor Wrestling Championship..

GoldFISH
A limo pulls up to the arena building and out stepped the Honor Wrestling owner Zack Goldman. He was alone as his wife Melina had stayed home as he was walking towards the arena he stopped dead in his tracks. The look on his face wasn't a concerned look or a pleased look. It was a look that was uncertain. The camera panned over slowly to the right to a man that was smiling.
Bill Richardson: Holy shit...
Brittney Mueller: Kaden Kessler is here tonight..
Kaden Kessler: Surprise...Goldman..
Zack Goldman: What do you want Kaden?
Kaden Kessler: What do I want? What does Kaden Kessler want from the man that plays dad...that plays husband?
Zack Goldman stared at him for a moment as Kaden walked towards him.
Kaden Kessler: I want an open mic tonight, to get things off my chest. You know since you seem to like to do that with past loser, except I'm not a loser like Eric Weaver..What you say Goldfish? Can I?
Zack Goldman: First off Kaden, it's Goldman and the answer is no. You're not getting a live microphone for our event tonight..
Zack Goldman walked past Kaden Kessler nuding the shoulder lightly before walking into the building leaving Kessler to just smirk.

Light R Up
After receiving multiple reports from various sources that everything from loud music to smoke is coming from the roof of the arena, but it was the report that somebody may be up there that grabbed most of the attention, at least from a concerned management team. A camera crew is dispatched to go and check out all the commotion. The camera crew reaches the top of a staircase where they exit a door and see Eyesnsane standing next to a grill covered with meat as smoke rises from the hot grill while we can just barely hear some music playing in the background.
Eyesnsane: Welcome Honor fan to our first installment of grilling with Eyesnsane. I’m your host, Eyesnsane. Now as you all can see, we have some steak on here and some chicken and I threw a few burgers on here as well. Gee, I hope somebody else brings some sides cause well I didn’t.
Eyesnsane replaces the cover on the grill and hangs the tongs that were in his hands over the handle on the grill and takes just a few steps and takes a seat in a lawn chair he has set up next to a table.
Eyesnsane: You see we did not show you the part where I was seasoning the meat and that’s for the best. I don’t share recipes, I just won’t do it so don’t ask. But there’s nothing like grilling. The fresh air, the faint smell of coal and the breeze blowing in your face as you sit back and….
Eyesnsane turns toward his right and picks up a bottle of wine that must have been next to his chair and takes a big drink from it.
Eyesnsane: Get yourself a nice beverage and you can just chill while sitting back and relaxing and every so often of course, you have to check your meat. No pun intended. All jokes aside though, tonight is a big night and I get that. I do. I’m not taking anything lightly but I did need to come out here for some air and I figured why not? Steph or Monk maybe hungry later and I know I am going to be. Besides do you know how boring it gets just sitting in a locker room?
He takes another drink from his bottle of wine and looks up into the night sky as it is already dark.
Eyesnsane: Ah if only we were not here in New York we would be able to see so many more stars out. You all know it’s the light from the cities that prevents you from really being able to see all the stars. It’s true you can look that up.
Eyesnsane takes another drink from his bottle and then sits it back down on the ground next to him and stands up walking back over to the grill where he lifts the cover and grabs the tongs and promptly starts to turn the various meats over while checking on his grilling. He hears the door opening again and sees it’s Stephanie McDiddle
Eyesnsane: Hey Stephanie over here
Stephanie: Sure but I don’t think the camera want to be recording me.
Eyesnsane: It’s okay they won't bite
Stephanie walks towards Eyesnsane. She takes out a blunt, as she goes to light it the camera cuts off.

Opened Wounds
Boy Epic's Scars plays over the speakers as this had meant one thing, Kaden Kessler was about to enter the arena. The fans erupted into a mixed reaction for the return of Kaden Kessler as he came walking out with a smirk on his face. He stopped at the top of the ramp way to look around before heading down to the ring. Once he had reached the ring he was handed a microphone by the ring announcer. The fans chanted holy shit as he looked around the arena as he leaned on the ropes taking in everything.
Kaden Kessler: Well, that's a reaction I wasn't expecting..
The fans cheered loudly this time as he went on.
Kaden Kessler: Let's not get all cheery now. I assume everyone is back from that last match up we just saw? The bathroom match as what you call people call them. Anyway I've been doing some thinking, some soul searching trying to figure out some shit in my life. Some of the things I want to change, some of the things I wouldn't want to change. In fact, one of the things I would do is running a ran train down the entire Wilson family tree it seems like. There is what..one..two Wilson's that I haven't fu...
He stopped for a moment as he smirked before going on.
Kaden Kessler: My point is this, things change within an instant. Within a snap on ones finger tips. You could have the entire world within your grasp and the next month it be ripped from you by your own doing or by someone elses. It doesn't matter. Let me take you down a trip of memory lane. I used to wrestle for this company called uXw, it's where I met my son Damien's mother. You all know her as the assistant to the ass clown that runs this place, Melina GoldFISH but she went by Melina Wilson back then. You see before her and I got into this relationship..before we even had this child we had a night together. I know you're in some mansion at home watching this Mel so Hi.
He smirked as the fans cheered.
Kaden Kessler: You and I Mel..what did we have? What changed? Let me tell you what changed. YOU DID. You became some stuck up kiss ass and that is why things are the way they are. Then here comes Millionaire GoldFISH boy and what did you do? You latched onto him like he was some piece of meat. I mean, I don't blame you. You had to do what you had to do. You did what you think was right no matter WHO you step on, no matter who the hell you hurt in the process. As long as queen Mel is alright than nothing else matters...I
Respect by Devour The Day now plays over the arena as Zack Goldman comes walking out with a microphone in his and. He began to speak as he walked down the ramp towards the ring.
Zack Goldman: Hold on just a minute Kaden. Who in the hell do you think you are coming out here on my show...talking all this nonsense about my wife..
Goldman made it into the ring and now stood in front of Kaden staring him in his eyes. The two stood inches from one another as Kaden just smirked as he raised an eyebrow looking at him.
Zack Goldman: You will NOT disrespect my wife Kaden! I will not allow it. You may think you're some big hot shot wrestler that can talk all this shit on twitter. What are you going to do when there is someone standing before you? Like I am right now Kaden! What are you going to do? Back down? Tuck your tail between your legs and run home? What's wrong Kaden? Cats got your tongue?
Kaden just stared at him for a minute before just tackling him to the mat and putting him into an arm bar as security ran down to the ring surrounding it.
Kaden Kessler: You come any closer I'll break his fucking arm. I swear to fucking god I'll do it.
Zack Goldman screamed in pain as Kaden pulled back further as if another inch it would break. The security team looked on in worry as Goldman was now begging Kaden to let him go. That he was hurting him. Kaden looked around the crowd and pulled back in a quite instance as a pop was hurt and a loud scream was heard from Zack. The security rushed the ring as Kaden quickly slide out and escaped through the crowd laughing as he watched the security team and medical staff began to look over their beloved Owner..
Kaden Kessler: Well, that's a reaction I wasn't expecting..
The fans cheered loudly this time as he went on.

Honor Wrestling Championship
Samantha Tolson vs Tiffany Prada (C)
The main event of the evening where we got to see the Honor Wrestling Championship get defended was a mind blower. Both of the women came out to the ring looking for one thing and that was to walk away at the end of the night as the Honor Wrestling Champion. The challenger made her way to the ring first who was than followed by the reigning champion. The two looks at one another until the referee showed them both the championship. As the referee gave the championship to the time keeper Prada tackled Tolson to the mat and the two began to roll around throwing punches at one another as the bell rang out.

The crowd was seriously enjoying the match up as it was match of the night or even match of the year thus far. It had a lot of back and forth action but all great matches have to come to an end and sadly this one did come to an end as Samantha Tolson pinned Tiffany Prada to win the Honor Wrestling Championship..
The Aftermath
Samantha Tolson take the Honor Championship belt from the referee, and falls to her knees, crying as she looks at it. After a moment, she climbs all four corners in succession, saluting the fans while holding up her newly-won championship. She sees Tiffany Prada start to walk back up the ramp, head down. Sam hops down from the last turnbuckle and asks for a house mic, which is handed to her quickly.
"Tiffany, stop. Turn around and bring your ass back in here."
Sam holds the mic at her side as she turns around. The new champion goes and holds the ropes open for her, and after waiting a bit, Tiffany does join Sam in the ring.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hit you or jump you or anything, but there are some things I need to say, and I want you right here with me when I say them, OK?"
Tiffany nods, and Sam smiles at her, mouthing something only the two of them can hear.
"Now...if I can get the ladies and gentlemen in the locker room to join us on the stage please...."
A pregnant moment or two passes by, but slowly and surely the locker room empties out onto the stage, all focused on the ring.
"Now that everyone's here...I've got some things I want to say. I beg everyone's indulgence for a little bit, but I've had this on my heart for a while now."
Sam pauses a little bit, then continues, holding up the Honor Championship.
"First off, this title needs to become one of the most sought-after titles in this sport. That requires more than just me, Tiffany, or anyone else being a great champion. That's gonna require the hard work and dedication of each and every person on that stage as well. That means when you step into this ring, with that apron around it, with OUR company's name on it, don't come out here and half-ass it. Put up the best fight you can, every time out, against each and every opponent. That means when some of you up there challenge me for this...and you will...you better come ready to kill me to take it, because I guarantee you I'll be willing to end you to keep it."
"That doesn't mean, however, we have to do this the wrong way. There's a right way, and there's a wrong way. I'll tell you right now, anyone on that stage, or in this ring right now, who wants a shot...just ask. That's all you have to do. Ask me. I'll get with Zack and Melina and see if it can happen. I'm not going to duck anyone."
"Secondly, the first word on the top of this belt, the first word in the name of this company...is HONOR. As the champion, I'm calling for honor from each and every one of you. That means you shake your opponent or opponents hands before and after the match. That means when you come to the building, you meet with the fans, you do press...you carry yourself with HONOR as a representative of this company."
"For far too long now, since its rebirth, this company has been seen as second-rate by some of those in our sport who think they've cornered the market on quality wrestling. Right here, right now, in front of millions at home, this packed arena, and all of you out here...I CALL BULLSHIT!"
The fans roar in approval, and some on the stage egg them on, only making the chant louder...
HON-OR-WREST-LING! (clap clap clapclapclap)
HON-OR-WREST-LING! (clap clap clapclapclap)
HON-OR-WREST-LING! (clap clap clapclapclap)
HON-OR-WREST-LING! (clap clap clapclapclap)
...Sam claps along with them best as she can, then holds a hand up and asks for quiet. She turns toward the hard camera, and begins again.
"That brings me to my next point. I don't care who you are, where you work, who you think you might be in this sport. I'll defend this...
Sam holds out the Honor Championship.
"...against anyone who's got the courage to step into MY GODDAMN RING and challenge me for it. You wanna find out if Honor's for real or not? Bring your ass into this ring, challenge me, and find out for yourselves. I'm sick of being laughed at for being a part...no, let me back up a second...A FUCKING PROUD PART...of this company. I'm putting the entire damn world on notice. This ring right here is where TRUE COMPETITION lies. This ring right here is where REAL FUCKING PEOPLE sacrifice their blood, their sweat, and their tears to make a living, to entertain these crazy, nutzoid fans, and to become better wrestlers every time the lights go on. NO LONGER will you laugh at this company! NO LONGER will you think of Honor Wrestling as second rate, second tier, minor league, or any other derogatory term you can toss out, because I can guarantee you that the two women you see in this ring, and the men and women behind me on that stage, are nothing more than top-flight competitors, willing and able to beat the world if we have to."
"But if you think for a hot second you have what it takes to take this from me, step up. Put your name on the dotted line. Because we're starting a new era here in Honor Wrestling right goddamn now. We're not going to talk about how good we are, all we're going to do is bust our asses in this ring and FUCKING PROVE we're good."
Sam turns to Tiffany, with a smile.
"Now, Tiffany Prada. I have something to say to you."
Tiffany looks half-intrigued, half-scared.
"First off, I know you prided yourself on carrying this championship. You were a model champion, despite the length of your reign, but that's not the important part. The important part is that through the whole lead-up to this match we had here tonight, you could have easily taken the low road. You wouldn't have been the first to do it to me, and God knows you wouldn't have been the last. But no, you didn't. Whether you know it or not, you're the mother of a wrestling revolution, Tiffany, starting right here tonight, because you handled yourself with class, grace, poise...and mostly, you comported yourself with HONOR. I may hold this title for a month, I may hold it for a year...but either way, I've got big shoes to fill. You have my word, as your friend, I'll do my dead level best to uphold the HONOR with which you have held this title, and I'll do my best to continue to make it the most sought-after individual title in the sport."
Sam drops the belt for a second and walks over to Tiffany, offering her hand. Tiffany takes it, and Sam pulls her into a big hug. The mic can't pick up what's being said, other than muffled sounds between former and new champion.
"To Tiffany...to you guys up on the stage...thanks for letting me speak my piece. To Zack Goldman...I promise I will do everything I can to grow and forward this company, this brand, as its champion. To you fans...thank you from the bottom of my heart for packing this place and every place we go every time you see Honor Wrestling light up the marquee. Now, if you all don't mind...I'm exhausted...I'm tired beyond words...if you follow me on Twitter you know what I'm talking about...I'm catching a plane home to LA to sleep for a few days."
Sam drops the mic and waves at the crowd as the stage empties and Prada follows behind them. Sam gets to the top of the stage and turns around, a smile wide as her face will allow. She holds the title up one more time for the crowd as the closing pyro goes off around her on the stage.
Samantha Tolson take the Honor Championship belt from the referee, and falls to her knees, crying as she looks at it. After a moment, she climbs all four corners in succession, saluting the fans while holding up her newly-won championship. She sees Tiffany Prada start to walk back up the ramp, head down. Sam hops down from the last turnbuckle and asks for a house mic, which is handed to her quickly.
"Tiffany, stop. Turn around and bring your ass back in here."
Sam holds the mic at her side as she turns around. The new champion goes and holds the ropes open for her, and after waiting a bit, Tiffany does join Sam in the ring.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hit you or jump you or anything, but there are some things I need to say, and I want you right here with me when I say them, OK?"
Tiffany nods, and Sam smiles at her, mouthing something only the two of them can hear.
"Now...if I can get the ladies and gentlemen in the locker room to join us on the stage please...."
A pregnant moment or two passes by, but slowly and surely the locker room empties out onto the stage, all focused on the ring.
"Now that everyone's here...I've got some things I want to say. I beg everyone's indulgence for a little bit, but I've had this on my heart for a while now."
Sam pauses a little bit, then continues, holding up the Honor Championship.
"First off, this title needs to become one of the most sought-after titles in this sport. That requires more than just me, Tiffany, or anyone else being a great champion. That's gonna require the hard work and dedication of each and every person on that stage as well. That means when you step into this ring, with that apron around it, with OUR company's name on it, don't come out here and half-ass it. Put up the best fight you can, every time out, against each and every opponent. That means when some of you up there challenge me for this...and you will...you better come ready to kill me to take it, because I guarantee you I'll be willing to end you to keep it."
"That doesn't mean, however, we have to do this the wrong way. There's a right way, and there's a wrong way. I'll tell you right now, anyone on that stage, or in this ring right now, who wants a shot...just ask. That's all you have to do. Ask me. I'll get with Zack and Melina and see if it can happen. I'm not going to duck anyone."
"Secondly, the first word on the top of this belt, the first word in the name of this company...is HONOR. As the champion, I'm calling for honor from each and every one of you. That means you shake your opponent or opponents hands before and after the match. That means when you come to the building, you meet with the fans, you do press...you carry yourself with HONOR as a representative of this company."
"For far too long now, since its rebirth, this company has been seen as second-rate by some of those in our sport who think they've cornered the market on quality wrestling. Right here, right now, in front of millions at home, this packed arena, and all of you out here...I CALL BULLSHIT!"
The fans roar in approval, and some on the stage egg them on, only making the chant louder...
HON-OR-WREST-LING! (clap clap clapclapclap)
HON-OR-WREST-LING! (clap clap clapclapclap)
HON-OR-WREST-LING! (clap clap clapclapclap)
HON-OR-WREST-LING! (clap clap clapclapclap)
...Sam claps along with them best as she can, then holds a hand up and asks for quiet. She turns toward the hard camera, and begins again.
"That brings me to my next point. I don't care who you are, where you work, who you think you might be in this sport. I'll defend this...
Sam holds out the Honor Championship.
"...against anyone who's got the courage to step into MY GODDAMN RING and challenge me for it. You wanna find out if Honor's for real or not? Bring your ass into this ring, challenge me, and find out for yourselves. I'm sick of being laughed at for being a part...no, let me back up a second...A FUCKING PROUD PART...of this company. I'm putting the entire damn world on notice. This ring right here is where TRUE COMPETITION lies. This ring right here is where REAL FUCKING PEOPLE sacrifice their blood, their sweat, and their tears to make a living, to entertain these crazy, nutzoid fans, and to become better wrestlers every time the lights go on.
