WWR - Women's Wrestling Revolution

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

Back in full swing! This is my first one in over a month, be kind.

-----------------------------

Gail Kim walks through the entrance doors, belt over her shoulder. Roxxi Laveaux, Daizee Haze, Portia Perez, Salinas, Christy Hemme, and ODB are all in her path, looking at her in both anger and surprise. Gail stops in front of them and looks at them all, her face unchanging. After a few moments, Gail simply walks past them. They turn around and watch her leave, all wearing looks of disgust.

-----------------------------

Cole: We are one week removed from the display of merciless brutality known as Sekhmet’s Gathering! I’m Michael Cole, alongside Sha-
Sharmell: More like a display of cowardice! A display of lowly-
Cole: We’ll get to that, Sharmell, but-
Sharmell: You’re damn right we will! <gets up, tosses her headset aside, grabs a microphone, and enters the ring>
Cole: What… Sharmell, get back here! Uh… well my broadcast colleague obviously has some strong feelings towards what happened at Sekhmet’s Gathering. After Beth Phoenix beat Kong in that brutal Electrified Cell Match and won the World Championship, Gail Kim cashed in her Key to the Mint contract and took the title from Beth. Gail was faking her injuries all along, and nobody expected it-
Sharmell: This past Sunday, at Sekhmet’s Gathering, Beth Phoenix beat Awesome Kong in one of the most brutal matches we’ve seen, in ANY promotion, in a hell of a long time. <pauses for applause> But then, well, just watch.

<video clip of Gail using her contract and the involved violence, ending in Gail raising the belt high>

Sharmell: <pauses for a lengthy string of boos> Couldn’t have said it better myself, but hey, I’ll try anyway. That was the most lowly, cowardly display I’ve ever seen! Faking injuries for what, three weeks? If Gail Kim thinks she has the right to call herself a champion, she is disgracing not only the WWR World Title, but our other titles as well, the titles of whatever other programs you watch, and all other champions out there! As far as I’m concerned, Gail Kim may be holding a belt right now, but she knows, like the rest of us, that the REAL WWR World Champion is-

Gail Kim’s theme starts, and she makes her way to the ring, belt and microphone in hand.

Gail: Oh no, no, no, we’re not having any more of this. <climbs into the ring> Do you want to know why I deserve this belt?
Sharmell: Yes, explain it to me, we’re all DYING to know.
Gail: Three reasons! One: I won that contract by winning the Key to the Mint match! I went through hell to get that contract, so don’t think for a second that I didn’t earn this title. I earned it THEN! Two: Tell me, who on this roster has beaten Awesome Kong? Was it… you? No, no, not you… was it… Beth Phoenix? No, no, not until I came along and told her how to do it. Oh, that’s right! ME! I’m the only one on this roster who has EVER beaten Awesome Kong straight up, without help from someone else who has done it! The way I see it, when Kong has the title, it’s not even a question as to who gets to take it from her! I’ve beaten her more times than you can count, so when she gets the title, by default it comes straight to ME! And finally, the big reason why I deserve this belt? Want me to spell it out for you? Alright, here it is! <gets in Sharmell’s face> I. BEAT. BETH PHOENIX!!

Sharmell shoves Gail away. Gail looks surprised, but then smirks. Salinas’s music starts, and Salinas steps on the entrance ramp.

Salinas: Thank you for starting this off, iniciar la conversación, for us, Sharmell, mi amigo, but I think since I’m one of the luchadores here I can better speak Gail Kim’s language. No es necesario para la interpretación.
Gail: <bursts out laughing> You? YOU’RE going to try to speak my language? IF PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR SPANISH THEY’LL PRESS THE SAP BUTTON! But besides that, who are you to tell me ANYTHING, Salinas? You’ve spent your entire wrestling and personal career as a plaything for whoever was around! Who have you beaten in your time in this company? NOBODY! In fact, when I told you to beat Beth Phoenix as part of her training, you couldn’t even do that! But I just beat her, so the way I see it, I’m on a whole other level from you and you have no right to try to give me any kind of advice!
Salinas: Perdone?! ¿Qué derecho tiene usted, who are you to lecture me on that when you come out here dressed in less than a Diva! Un gran prostituta, aquí mismo! But you know what? We’re not here to talk about that, ahora no es el momento, we’re here to talk about you beating Beth Phoenix and Awesome Kong! You did not beat Beth, you pretended to be hurt and hit her with a crutch! Masiva cobarde, trator, patético! And you know what? Where I come from, it doesn’t matter what you did last year! So you beat Kong after she destroyed you for like six months. Congratulations! If you want to call yourself a champion, campeón del mundo, do it again! And after you do that, take on Beth Phoenix! I think we ALL want to see that!
Gail: No, no, NO! You don’t get to make matches around here!

Beth Phoenix’s theme starts, and she steps up beside Salinas. Beth pats Salinas’s back, then takes the microphone.

Beth: Thanks, but I don’t need anyone to talk for me. <turns to Gail> You’re right, Gail, Salinas doesn’t get to make matches around here. But you know what? Elvira does! I’ve already spoken to her, and I get a rematch for that title TONIGHT! You’re the champion now, right? Prove it!

Gail screams in protest. Beth smiles and raises an arm, and Salinas claps for her.

-----------------------------

Roxxi Laveaux is walking down the halls backstage. There is no sound except for her footsteps. As she continues down the halls, the lights suddenly go out. Roxxi pauses for a second, then continues down the hallway, eventually finding the lounge. The door is open a crack, and light is shining out from it. As Roxxi walks to the door, something crunches at her feet. She looks down and sees a broken pickle jar. Roxxi pauses, then pushes the door open.

Daizee Haze is sprawled out in front of the door, knocked out. Portia Perez is laying on her back with a broken coffee table on either side of her, as if she was powerbombed through it. Roxxi immediately crouches down, checking on Daizee. She shakes Daizee and pats her cheek, but Daizee doesn’t stir.

Roxxi gets up and begins to walk towards Portia. Suddenly, MsChif jumps out from behind the door and cracks Roxxi with a keyboard. Roxxi falls to her hands and knees, keys raining down. MsChif tosses the keyboard away and kicks Roxxi in the ribs, knocking her onto her back. MsChif screams and begins stomping on Roxxi repeatedly. After a few moments of this, MsChif yanks Roxxi up, runs her across the room, and throws her into the TV. Roxxi hits with her shoulder, knocking it off the table and falling flat on the floor. MsChif screams again and grabs one of the table halves.

MsChif: COME ON! NOW! GET UP!! <screams>

Roxxi slowly gets up, and MsChif cracks her forehead with the table. Roxxi is knocked back, trips over the TV stand, and collapses, knocked out. Blood flows from a cut on her forehead.

MsChif takes Roxxi’s fallen belt, cackles, and screams. She puts the belt around her waist, then grabs Roxxi and drags her away.

-----------------------------

Rain’s music starts, and Rain makes her way to the ring, microphone in hand.

Rain: You know, I haven’t a thing since I joined this company. Now, part of that is my fault, I admit; I should be more assertive. But most of that blame? IT’S ON YOU, ELVIRA!! You’ve got the greatest superstar, male or female, on the roster in the ring right here, right now, and you don’t utilize her! Well, I won’t be overlooked any longer! I am Rain, I hail from Saint Paul, Minnesota, and I’m not leaving this ring until I get the opportunities I deserve! And if any of you others back there have a problem with this, wanting to settle your own petty little squabbles in this ring, feel free to come out here and try to get me to leave!

ODB’s music starts, and ODB makes her way to the ring with a microphone of her own.

ODB: So, you want an opportunity? Well standing right here in front of you is the Revolutionary Champion, the ODB, OOOHH! So I’ll tell you what I’m gonna give you, Rain. Since you’re pissing and moaning about not being given anything, I’m gonna give you a shot at my title! If you beat me, right here, right now, then at the next pay per view thing we have, whatever it’s called, you can have a match with me for this! <holds up belt> Hell, ya know what? I’ll give you the Victoria treatment! YOU can pick whatever stipulations you want! Now, ya wanna bitch, or ya wanna fight? I’m here, bring it on!

Rain: GET A REF OUT HERE!!

One-Fall Match
ODB vs. Rain​

ODB and Rain circle, ODB smiling. Rain charges and gets ODB in a grapple. ODB holds her ground, not losing a step, and pushes Rain back. Rain falls on her back and rolls through, landing in a crouch. ODB smiles and charges. Rain hits a drop toe hold, and ODB lands leaning across the middle rope, as in a 619 setup. Rain leaps up and hits ODB’s back and head with a frenzy of strikes until the ref pulls her away. The ref lets go, and Rain jumps on ODB, pressing on her back with both feet and pulling the top rope up. The ref counts to 4 and Rain lets go. Rain grabs ODB’s hair, slams her down on her back, and covers for a one count.

Rain pulls ODB up, and ODB knocks her away with a hard punch to the gut. Rain staggers back, then advances and goes for a strike. ODB blocks and connects with one of her own, then pushes Rain to the ropes with repeated chops. ODB presses Rain against the ropes and whips her across the ring. Rain grabs the opposite ropes and stops herself. ODB charges, Rain brings her feet up, and ODB stops herself. ODB smiles and shakes her head, saying something like “won’t be that easy.” Rain charges and gets ODB in a grapple. Rain breaks it with a knee to ODB’s gut, then spins to twist her arm. ODB spins to reverse it, and twists Rain’s arm. ODB drags Rain to the middle of the ring and stomps twice, yanking Rain’s arm down.

ODB runs back, pressing Rain against the ropes. Rain shoves ODB away. ODB bounces off the ropes and charges for a spear, but Rain connects with a standing dropkick to the head. Rain covers for two.

Rain pulls ODB up and whips her to the corner. Rain charges and connects with a spear. ODB stumbles away, holding her gut, and Rain charges and hits a lariat to the back of her head. ODB hits the ground, motionless. Rain covers ODB, but gets up at 2. Rain smiles, rolls ODB over, and puts her in a camel clutch. After a minute, ODB manages to stand, with Rain on her back, and runs her back into the turnbuckle. ODB stumbles away, and Rain leans back against the turnbuckle in pain. Rain pushes off and charges for a bulldog, but ODB holds her arm out to catch Rain and drops, countering into a makeshift side slam. Rain rolls away in pain as ODB gets to her hands and knees. ODB and Rain get to their feet, and ODB charges, bullrushing Rain into the corner. ODB hits three shoulder thrusts on Rain before backing up. Rain collapses.

ODB pulls Rain up and picks her up for a fallaway slam. ODB moves to the ropes, hits the slam, and kips up. Victoria, who had jumped out from the crowd during the slam, is right there on the apron with a Singapore cane. Victoria cracks ODB with it, then runs back up the ramp, stopping half way to turn and look. ODB stumbles back, dazed, as Rain gets up. Rain grabs ODB and hits her Rain Drop, a falling reverse DDT. Rain covers for the three count.

Lilian: Here is your winner, Rain!

Rain’s expression is of pure shock, as she has no idea that Victoria interfered.

-----------------------------

A video clip plays, showing the highlights of the Sadistic Tables Match between Roxxi Laveaux and Melina. It ends with Roxxi Voodoo Slamming Melina through the glass covered table, and then Melina being wheeled out on a stretcher.

Melina’s theme starts, and Melina walks down to the ring, Angelina Love and Velvet Sky at her sides. Melina’s midsection is taped up.

Melina: For FIVE DAYS I laid on that hospital bed while doctors ripped shards of glass out of me, one by one. Those scars may never heal! And who’s to blame? ROXXI LAVEAUX!! <pauses for cheers> SHUT UP!!! How DARE you people cheer her on! We, the Beautiful People, are-

Angelina suddenly kicks Melina in the back, knocking her against the ropes. Velvet grabs Melina’s hair and slams her back against the mat. Angelina and Velvet repeatedly stomp on Melina’s gut, then give a holler and hit a double elbow drop.

Angelina: <grabs the mic> You know what, Melina? We’ve been following you around at your beck and call for three months, and what have we accomplished? NOTHING! You can’t even beat that freak Roxxi! So consider this your EXILE from the Beautiful People! Velvet? Let’s make it official!

Angelina and Velvet continue to assault Melina. Suddenly, Christy Hemme runs down to the ring, once again in her military attire. Christy slides into the ring, jumps up, and kicks Angelina in the ribs, sending her through the ropes and out of the ring. Velvet turns to Christy, and Christy kicks her hard in the gut. Christy brings Velvet up for a Hemme Blade, but Velvet flips out of it and runs out of the ring. Angelina and Velvet back up the entrance ramp, Christy yelling at them the whole way.

Melina drags herself to her feet. Christy turns around and goes to help Melina keep balance. Melina suddenly shoves Christy away, and begins yelling at her. Christy is totally confused.

“Let’s see what you got!”

A remix of Biggest Letdown starts, and Elvira steps onto the entrance ramp, rubbing her eyes with one hand.

Elvira: Christy comes out and saves your ass, and your response is to attack her? What the hell is this? You know, what really kills me is the fact that there’s a train of logic in that head of yours that LEAD to this decision. So you know what I’m gonna do? You’re in the ring, Christy is in the ring; I think we’ve got a match! Get a ref out here, ring the bell!

One-Fall Match
Christy Hemme vs. Melina​

Melina charges and gets Christy in a grapple. Melina spins and twists Christy’s arm. Christy takes a quick step back and hits a roundhouse to Melina’s gut. Melina screams, lets go, and falls on the ground holding her stomach. Christy sighs, climbs out of the ring, and begins to walk up the ramp, done competing.

Elvira: <appears on screen> You like your job? Get back in there and finish the match!
Christy yells, but the screen goes back to live video.

Christy goes back and enters the ring. Melina has just risen to her feet. Christy grabs Melina and hits a scoop slam. Melina screams, her back arching in pain. Christy covers, and Melina kicks out right away.

Christy: I’m trying to end this, just lay down!

Melina grabs Christy and headbutts her away. Christy stumbles back, and Melina gets to her feet. Melina grabs Christy and whips her to the corner.

Christy: What are you doing?!

Christy steps over Melina and climbs to the second turnbuckle. Christy gives a salute to the audience, and goes for split-legged guillotine leg drop.

Christy manages to keep standing, forcing Melina to land on her feet. Melina, still holding Christy’s hair, kicks Christy in the gut, then gets behind Christy and hits a split-legged hangman’s neckbreaker by Christy’s hair. Melina covers, visibly pained just maintaining that position, and Christy kicks out at two.

Melina pulls Christy up, and Christy knocks her away with an elbow to the gut. Melina screams, holding her stomach. Christy stops for a second, looking remorseful, then grabs Melina and whips her to the corner. Melina screams when she hits the corner.

She lets go at 3, and Melina stumbles away. Christy climbs to the top turnbuckle. Melina turns around, and Christy dives off, hitting Melina with a crossbody. Melina screams and pushes Christy off immediately, out of instinct and pain.

Christy covers and gets the three count.

Lilian: Here is your winner, Christy Hemme!

Christy crouches down, making sure Melina is ok.

Angelina Love and Velvet Sky run down to the ring, but Christy notices. Velvet jumps up on the apron, and Christy quickly grabs her head and snaps her neck across the top rope. Velvet falls back from the apron into Angelina’s arms. Angelina and Velvet back up on the ramp, Christy screaming at them the whole way.

-----------------------------

Krystal walks into Elvira’s office. Elvira is holding two dowels, holding two spinning plates balanced, as Jeremy Borash desperately tries to keep them spinning. Sandman is leaning against the back wall, beer in hand.

Krystal: …am I interrupting?
Elvira: One more hour and we break the world record! Come on JB, don’t wuss out now!
Krystal: …um… so anyway, Elvira, I’m worried about the way you’ve been treating Melina lately. I mean, yeah, she’s annoying, but she was clearly in no shape to wrestle out there and you went and put her in a match. That doesn’t seem fair.
Elvira: <eyes not leaving the plates> Krystal, Melina has been with this company for like three months, and she still just doesn’t get it. I’m going to teach that girl some humility if it means having to put her in the ring with Sandman.
Krystal: So what, you don’t like her, so you’re going to make her life hell until she submits? That’s abuse! She’s a human being!
JB: You know, Elvira, Krystal has a point. It’s one thing to dislike your talent, but it’s quite another to force them to wrestle when they’ve still got glass in their stomachs.
Elvira: The plates, the plates!

Krystal smacks the dowels from Elvira’s hands, sending the plates crashing down, and storms off. Elvira, JB, and Sandman all watch her go, wearing faces of shock and confusion.

JB: I’ll go talk to her.

JB leaves as Daizee Haze walks in.

Daizee: The three of us were assaulted by MsChif out there! Now Roxxi and the title are missing!
Elvira: <sighs and rubs her eyes with one hand> Why can’t you people behave… fine, I’ll send security out. Sandman, go, rally the troops. Hop in the Mystery Machine and go find the guy in the monster costume.

Sandman takes a final drink of beer, crushes it against his head, and walks out, muttering something about neutering Scooby Doo.

-----------------------------

JB walks down the halls, and soon finds Krystal interviewing Beth Phoenix.

Krystal: Good, you’re here. Do this, I need to talk to Melina. <walks off>

JB: Wait! …<visibly nervous> JB, Jeremy Borash, standing beside Beth Phoenix, the Glamazon. Beth… what are your thoughts on what happened at Sekhmet’s Gathering?
Beth: …<sudden movement>
JB: <jumps away>
Beth: <laughs>
JB: …well you scare me! You put Raisha Saeed in a coma for less than what Gail did to you!
Beth: That’s right, I did. You know, I probably should have expected Gail to do what she did. A month ago that’s what I would have done. I guess the student taught the master. But don’t worry; I’m not going to take it out on you. <smirks and pets JB> I’m not even going to comatose Gail. You know what murder victim’s families say, that it’s a lot more satisfying knowing that the guy is rotting in jail than he’s dead and gone. Well, it works here too. I’ll hurt Gail Kim out there. I’ll make her scream like a bitch. But I won’t knock her out, oh no. It’s not satisfying if she’s not awake to feel it. <smirks, pats JB twice, and walks off>

-----------------------------

Beth high fives the fans, then advances on Gail. Gail suddenly hits a low dropkick, tripping Beth and sending her shoulder-first into the ringpost.

Beth rolls through, but Gail rolls through that and goes for a cover, holding the ropes. The ref gets to 2, but notices Gail holding the ropes, and yells for her to let go.

Beth walks away from Gail, showing off for the crowd. Gail gets up and grabs the fallen steel chair. Beth turns around, and Gail cracks her with it. The ref calls for the bell.

Lilian: The winner, by disqualification, Beth Phoenix, the Glamazon!

[Chuck Taylor's Grenade]

BM: Christy vs. Melina. There were only three matches but this one barely beat out the main event. This match told a great story with Melina being too stubborn to quit despite her injuries.

WM: None. Every match was well thought out and furthered their respective storyline.

BP: Gail Kim's opening promo did a great job of explaining why she did what she did and also set up the main event match.

WP: None

AC: Interesting show to follow up Sekhmet's Gathering. Nice to see Rain getting a bit of a push. I don't see her winning the title just yet. Beth vs. Gail is shaping up to be a great feud. Can't wait for the next show.

New WWR Review

Gail/Beth/Salinas/Sharmel promo- Pretty good. I like how Gail defended the fact that she deserves to be champion and all of her points were logical. I really think that someone else should have been in Salinas' spot.

MsChif attack- You make MsChif into a really good heel. This should be a good feud.

Rain/ODB promo- You haven't used Rain much before, but you seem to have a good character going for her.

ODB vs. Rain- Good match. It set up for a lot of angles to play out. I'm guessing we'll see ODB vs. Rain vs. Victoria.

Beautiful People promo- I'm suprised that they kicked out Melina. A somewhat odd set up for the next match.

Christy vs. Melina- Good match, but an odd match.

Krystal/Elvira/Daizee promo- I love the character of Elvira. All of your promos are good.

Beth promo- Really good promo from Beth here.

Beth vs. Gail- Good match. It sets up the rest of their feud nicely.

BM: Beth vs. Gail
WM: Christy vs. Melina
BP: Beth promo
WP: Any part with Salinas
AC: Good return show. Hope you continue, but sometimes it's tough to find time to write shows.
Plug: Be sure to check out POI Episode 30 when POI goes to Japan.

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

Please note that I haven't updated the spoiler page pertaining to last week's show yet. On that note, does anyone even use it, or should I just take it down?

Also, if you only read one of my shows, make it this one. I promise you a WTF moment like you won't believe.

----------------------

Portia Perez drives up to the arena. She gets out of her car, and Daizee Haze runs out of the arena.

Daizee: Any word from Roxxi?
Portia: Not a thing.
Daizee: Damn it. Well come on, maybe Elvira’s heard something.
Portia: Screw it. If she heard from Roxxi she’ll tell us. Right now, we need to settle MsChif.

----------------------

Cole: Welcome, one and all, to the WWR! I’m Michael Cole, here with Sharmell, and tonight… well, nobody knows what’s going on. MsChif attacked Roxxi last week and now Roxxi is missing, but Elvira doesn’t seem to care because she’s too busy putting Melina through hell for biting the hand that helps her fight her former allies in Angelina Love and Velvet Sky.
Sharmell: I can’t even figure out who to be pissed at anymore.
Cole: Well we’ve also got ODB naming her own number one contender for the Revolutionary Championship, Rain, and the war between Beth Phoenix and World Champion Gail Kim is only escalating. We’ll see how all that plays out.

MsChif’s theme starts, and she walks to the ring with a microphone and the North American Championship.

MsChif: Well, there isn’t too much to say. The so-called North American Champion, the <mocking voice> “Voodoo Queen” Roxxi Laveaux couldn’t take me on. So I TOOK HER OUT, and now, I’m the new North American Champion. That’s how it works, baby. Roxxi is out, she’s gone, that’s it. And the girl who took her out? She’s the new alpha. No number one contenders, no special matches, no bullshit. This business is JUNGLE LAW, and I WON!

Roxxi Laveaux’s theme starts… but Daizee Haze and Portia Perez step onto the entrance ramp. They exchange words briefly, then Daizee hands Portia the microphone and they make their way down the ramp. Portia steps into the ring, while Daizee takes a seat at the announce table.

Cole: Uh, welcome? Daizee Haze of The Barbie Crushers-
Daizee: They know who I am, just listen.

Portia: Sorry, everyone, for using Roxxi’s entrance and then, you know, not being Roxxi. We haven’t picked a team song yet. <turns to MsChif> You really think that-
MsChif: Yes.
Portia: …you REALLY think that-
MsChif: YES!

Portia stares MsChif down, while MsChif just smiles.

Daizee: <to Cole> Tell them to get a ref out here.

Portia: Smashing the back of someone’s head with a pickle jar does not make you a champion! That might win you the match in-
MsChif: Yes it does.
Portia: …that might win you-
MsChif: <singsong> Does soo-oooo!

Portia cracks MsChif’s jaw with her microphone. MsChif stumbles back, rubs her jaw, and smiles.

MsChif: THAT’S more like it!

MsChif tackles Portia and begins hammering punches. Portia quickly shoves her away. A ref slides into the ring and frantically signals for the opening bell.

One Fall Match
MsChif vs. Portia Perez​

Portia and MsChif quickly jump to their feet and charge for each other. Portia goes for a clothesline, which MsChif grabs and spins into a hammerlock. Portia jumps backwards, forcing MsChif onto her back, rolls through, and grabs MsChif’s ankles to hold a cover. Portia gets a one count. MsChif gets up, her back to Portia, and Portia tackles her onto her stomach. Portia puts MsChif in a Camel Clutch. MsChif manages to stand almost immediately and runs Portia back to the ropes. Portia pushes MsChif away and charges. MsChif jumps and goes for a springboard attack, which Portia slides under. MsChif lands on her feet and Portia jumps to her’s.

Portia and MsChif circle, MsChif clearly amused. They get into a grapple, which Portia immediately turns into an armbar. MsChif spins out of it, kicks Portia in the gut, and puts a leg over Portia’s arm, setting up for a Desecrator. Portia grabs MsChif’s free leg and yanks it out, and rolls MsChif up for a one count. MsChif kicks out, knocking Portia away in the process. MsChif gets to her feet, and Portia hits her with a superkick. MsChif falls flat on her back, and Portia covers for a two count. Portia yanks MsChif up, runs her to the turnbuckle, and smashes her face into it. Portia whips MsChif to the opposite turnbuckle and charges for a clothesline. MsChif ducks under and strafes behind Portia, but Portia gets her arms up and floats over MsChif. Portia rolls MsChif up for two.

MsChif gets up, and right away Portia grabs her head and hits a hard knee smash. MsChif falls seated against the corner, and Portia hits a low dropkick to her face. MsChif crumples up in the corner, and Portia starts screaming at her “STILL FEEL LIKE A CHAMPION?!” The ref pulls Portia away and begins scolding her. Portia apparently promises to calm down, and pulls MsChif out of the corner. MsChif spits a mouthful of green mist, hitting both Portia and inadvertantly the ref. Portia stumbles away, while the ref collapses, spasms, and stops moving.

MsChif grabs Portia and throws her between the bottom and middle rope. MsChif slides her legs between the middle and top rope, taking a seat, and pulls Portia into a Camel Clutch. Portia screams and claws at MsChif’s hands. MsChif eventually lets go and climbs out of the ropes. MsChif pulls Portia out and whips her across the ring. Portia bounces off the ropes and runs into an inverted facelock. MsChif hammers a series of shots to the chest, screams, and hits a spinning headlock elbow drop. MsChif gets up, screams, runs to the ropes and hits a springboard moonsault. MsChif covers, but the ref is still out. MsChif screams at the ref, but he doesn’t move. MsChif gets up and starts shaking and smacking the ref. The ref finally comes to, and as he does, Portia suddenly rolls MsChif up. The ref’s incredibly slow count hits 2 before MsChif kicks out.

MsChif gets up first and yanks Portia into a grapple. They mutually break it, and begin trading punches. Portia grabs MsChif and yanks her into several knees to the gut. Portia runs back, bounces off the ropes, and connects with a spinning wheel kick. Portia covers, and gets a very slow one count. Portia glances at the ref, who still hasn’t actually stood up yet, and walks to the turnbuckle, still holding her back from the camel clutch. MsChif begins to rise. Portia climbs to the second turnbuckle, but MsChif charges and hits a high elbow to Portia’s gut. Portia holds her gut in pain as MsChif climbs to the second turnbuckle with her. MsChif grabs Portia and hits an Obliterator, her second rope reverse piledriver. MsChif covers, and gets the slow three count.

Lilian: Here is your winner, MsChif!

MsChif screams in victory, and looks for the North American Championship. She spots it on the announce table. Daizee gets up and stands between the belt and MsChif. MsChif stares down at Daizee.

Daizee: Next week, you and me!

MsChif laughs, screams, and walks to the back. Daizee jumps in the ring to check on Portia, who is barely moving.

----------------------

Krystal and Melina walk into Elvira’s office, Melina clearly annoyed. Sandman is leaning against the back wall, while Elvira has a bucket of paint and is painting over a mirror.

Krystal: …ok, I’m afraid to ask.
Sandman: Elvira saw the movie Mirrors and now she’s afraid of anything reflective. I’m not allowed to drink in here because the cans are too shiny.
Elvira: And stop looking at me too! Your eyes have a reflection!
Melina: …this is why you dragged me here? I’ve got two sluts to strangle with their own hair. <turns to leave>
Krystal: No. <yanks her back> Elvira, last week was a disgrace. Melina’s a bitch, fine, nobody likes her, but that’s not the point. You don’t take a superstar with glass in her stomach and force her to compete, and threaten to fire her opponent if she doesn’t!

Melina spins Krystal around and slaps her.

Melina: Watch your damn mouth!
Krystal: I’m trying to help you!
Melina: Who asked you?!
Elvira: <rubs her temples> You’d both better shut your mouths, because right now it’s a toss up as to which of you is more annoying. Melina, since you obviously haven’t learned your lesson yet, you’re going in a handicap match against Angelina Love and Velvet Sky.
Melina: What?! I’m not fully recovered yet!
Elvira: Want me to throw Christy Hemme in there too? Sandman? Want me in there? I’ve got time.
Krystal: What the hell is your problem?! She’s pissed off and hurt from a match you put her in last week, so as punishment you’re putting her in ANOTHER one?!
Elvira: <mocking voice> Ooohhhh that’s sooooo unfair! Krystal, all I want is for her to show the slightest shred of humility… you know what? I’m done talking, and so are you! You’re fired!
Krystal: I… <turns to leave>
Elvira: Oh no, not done yet. <spins Krystal back around> You’re fired from your interview position, but not from the company. Welcome to the active roster! Better borrow someone’s outfit, because your first match is right up next. You and Melina against Angelina and Velvet.
Krystal: What?!
Elvira: You heard me, my accent isn’t that thick. Go!

----------------------

Cole: Krystal is getting in the ring?!
Sharmell: She’s not a wrestler! She has no experience! I don’t know what’s gotten into Elvira but I sure as hell don’t like it!

Krystal comes out to Christy Hemme’s theme, wearing her old guitar hero outfit. Christy accompanies her, giving advice the whole way. Krystal enters the ring, while Christy watches from the floor.

Tag Team Match
Angelina Love and Velvet Sky vs. Krystal and Melina​

Melina starts off against Velvet Sky.

Melina and Velvet get into a grapple. Velvet breaks it with a knee to Melina’s taped gut. Melina screams and stumbles back. Velvet snapmares Melina and hits a kick to her back. Melina screams again and falls to her side, holding her stomach and back. Velvet and Angelina share a laugh. Velvet rolls Melina onto her back with one foot, presses down on her stomach with one foot. Melina screams and weakly punches at Velvet’s leg.

Krystal enters the ring, runs, and punches Velvet in the back. Velvet stumbles forward, turns around, and begins yelling at Krystal. Krystal quickly climbs back to the outside apron, and Velvet advances, continuing to yell. Velvet slaps Krystal, and the ref gets between them. Angelina takes the distraction to enter the ring and begin stomping on Melina’s gut. Christy tries to enter the ring, but the ref yells at her to stay out. Angelina returns to her corner, and the ref turns back to the match. Velvet climbs a neutral turnbuckle and dives off for a crossbody. Melina rolls out of the way and Velvet hits the mat. Melina gets up, stomps on Velvet repeatedly, then grabs her hair and hits a curb stomp. Melina covers, and Angelina jumps in and stomps Melina’s back to break it. Melina screams and rolls away.

Melina bounces off the ropes and runs into a kick to the gut. Melina screams and holds her gut. Angelina grabs Melina and hits a shoulder jawbreaker. Melina stumbles back, and Angelina hits a standing dropkick to her gut. Melina is knocked against the ropes. Angelina tags Velvet. Angelina and Velvet run to the opposite end of the ring, bounce off the ropes, and are tripped from the outside by Christy. The ref, who was checking on Melina, looks around confused as Christy idly walks away, smiling and shrugging to the audience. The ref tells Angelina to get out of the ring. Velvet charges for Melina. Melina drops and yanks down the top rope, and Velvet flies over the top and lands on the ground below.

Melina stumbles away from the ropes, painfully holding her stomach. Velvet climbs back into the ring and rushes Melina. Melina sends Velvet away with a hurricanrana.

Melina leaps off and hits Velvet with a double knee drop to the back. Melina covers, but the ref tells her that Krystal has been tagged in. Melina and Krystal protest, but the ref simply starts counting.

Krystal climbs in and covers Velvet, and gets two. Krystal quickly backs away as Velvet gets up. Christy yells at Krystal to tag Melina. Velvet looks at Krystal, smirks, and punches Melina off the apron. Krystal nervously backs away as Velvet turns back to her. Velvet laughs and runs for Krystal. Krystal backs into Angelina’s corner. Velvet stops her run in front of Krystal and tags in Angelina. Angelina enters, and she and Velvet start mocking Krystal. Krystal suddenly hits them both with a backhand smack, knocking them both away. The ref yells for Velvet to leave the ring. Angelina rubs her face, then turns back and yells at Krystal. Angelina throws a punch. Krystal ducks under it, gets behind Angelina, and rolls her up. Krystal gets the three count.
Lilian: Here are your winners, the team of Krystal and Melina!

Krystal lets go of Angelina and bolts for her corner, sliding out of the ring. Christy eagerly congratulates Krystal, while Melina laughs at Angelina and Velvet. Angelina and Velvet can’t believe what just happened.

----------------------

ODB walks into Elvira’s office. Sandman is leaning against the back wall with beer.

ODB: You rang? Sandman! Beer me!
Elvira: I did.
ODB: <catches a beer that Sandman tossed> What, you wanna put me in a match against Krystal?
Elvira: Eh… that’s a separate problem and I’m dealing with it. No, I’m quite happy with you, except for who you chose as your number one contender.
ODB: Rain? Yeah, I know she’s a scrawny little thing, but pretty much everyone is when compared to the O-D-B, OOOHH!
Elvira: Fair enough, but in Rain’s whole time here I don’t think she’s won a single match, except for that one where Angelina Love got involved. Rain didn’t even beat you last week; Victoria got involved.
ODB: So you’re sayin’ I don’t get a say in the contender? I’m not one of these prissy little skanks who’s afraid to fight anyone! I want a challenge and I think Rain can give it!
Elvira: Alright, tell you what. If Rain can win ONE hardcore match tonight, I’ll trust your judgment, and it’ll be you against her for the Revolutionary Title, stipulation of her choosing just like you want, at our next pay per view, Unrelenting.
ODB: Who do ya have in mind to face her?
Elvira: Well it’s gotta be a veteran. I’m not deciding anything on a match like Rain against… Krystal. But I’m thinking-

<fade out>

----------------------

JB: JB, Jeremy Borash, here with former Revolutionary Champion, Victoria.
Victoria: Former? Did you just say former?
JB: …yeah, former.
Victoria: <grabs the microphone and shoves JB away> <to camera> I will not be overlooked. ODB is out there right now, giving title shots to weaklings for a championship that I never lost. Having your boyfriend guest referee the match does not make you a champion! So Elvira? ODB? Rain? One way or another, I’m getting my championship back. And you know what? It may just happen tonight.

----------------------

Rain’s theme starts, and Rain makes her way to the ring, microphone in one hand and a bottle of brandy in the other.

Rain: Last week, I kicked ODB’s ass! <chugs some brandy> OOOHHH!! <pauses for heat> But apparently, <mocking voice> Elvira doesn’t think I’m hardcore enough for a title shot! So now I’ve been shoved into a Hardcore Match with someone, and I promise you all: the pain will come in torrents! I am Rain, and-

Jacqueline’s theme starts, and Jacqueline makes her way to the ring with a microphone.

Jacqueline: “The pain will come in torrents”? Seriously? Rain, did you not watch the replay? You didn’t beat ODB! Play the tape!

A replay of Rain vs. ODB plays, showing Victoria cracking ODB with a Singapore cane moments before Rain hit her Rain Drop for the pin.

Rain is clearly shocked.

Jacqueline: Hate to break it to you, sweetie, but you didn’t beat ODB last week. You’re not hardcore. You’re the same old Rain who hasn’t won a single match in all her time in this company!

Jacqueline smiles and tosses her microphone away. Rain’s face is full of shock and fury.

Hardcore Match
Jacqueline vs. Rain​

Rain rushes Jacqueline and gets her in a grapple. Jacqueline overpowers Rain, pushing her back, but Rain breaks it with a hard kick to the gut.

Rain screams and yanks her legs in, and painfully holds them.

Jacqueline shoves Lilian out of her chair, and takes the chair to the ring. Jacqueline slides into the ring and advances on Rain with the chair. Rain pushes back with her hands and feet, backing away. Jacqueline laughs and advances. “Sorry about your damn luck!” Jacqueline yells, and swings the chair. Rain pushes herself under the bottom rope to the floor, Jacqueline’s chair hitting the mat. Jacqueline laughs and climbs to the ring apron. Rain gets to her feet. Jacqueline jumps to the floor, and Rain charges, hitting a dropkick on the chair and knocking the chair against Jacqueline’s gut, as well as pressing her back against the edge of the ring. Jacqueline stumbles forward and falls to her hands and knees, holding her stomach.

Rain walks back to the fallen chair, and hits Jacqueline with Acid Rain, a bridging straight-jacket electric chair drop, onto the chair. Rain holds the bridge for the three count.

Lilian: Here is your winner, Rain!

As Rain celebrates, Victoria runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. Rain turns around, and Victoria sends her over the top rope to the floor with a clothesline.

Rain finally lets up, and looks under the ring. Rain looks for a few seconds, then laughs. She comes out with something hidden in her hand.

Rain: So, you don’t think I’m hardcore, Jackie?!

Jacqueline, propping herself up on one side, watches in surprise. Rain grabs her bottle of brandy from the corner.

Rain: <to Victoria> Or YOU, you don’t?! <to the audience> You, you, you?! THIS’LL SHOW YOU ALL!!

Rain begins dumping the brandy on Victoria’s legs. Rain tosses the brandy away and finally reveals what’s in her hand – a matchbook. Michael Cole, Sharmell, the ref, Victoria, and even Jacqueline all scream at Rain to stop. Rain just laughs and lights a match. Victoria tries to push away with her hands, but is too weak.

Rain: I’m number one contender to the Revolutionary title, and HERE’S WHY!!

Rain tosses the match onto Victoria’s legs. The brandy on Victoria’s legs bursts into flames. Victoria screams and kicks at her jumpsuit. She manages to get up and run two steps, but then falls again.

Stagehands come out with fire extinguishers and put Victoria out, then tend to the small portions of burning padding outside the ring. Rain climbs into the ring and looks at Victoria, looking greatly surprised, but clearly amused as well. Jacqueline quickly pushes herself away from Rain, sliding out of the ring. Rain glances at her and just laughs.

----------------------

Elvira, ODB, and Sandman are watching the whole scene in her office, motionless and shocked.

Sandman: …<laughs> I dunno why she calls herself ‘Rain’ if she does that! ‘Fire’!

Elvira wipes the sweat from her face.

ODB: So… convinced she’s hardcore enough?

Elvira turns away from the screen and brushes her hair with her hands.

Elvira: …that was the deal, so… ODB against Rain at Unrelenting, for the title…

ODB looks at the screen one more time, watching Victoria leave on a stretcher, and leaves without a word. Elvira slumps into her chair and buries her face in her hands.

----------------------

Beth Phoenix and Salinas are sitting in the lounge.

Salinas: No, no, no. It’s ‘como estás’.
Beth: Como estas.
Salinas: Almost, casi, tan cerca. Put more on the A. EstÃs.
Beth: But you said you put emphasis on the second last vowel.
Salinas: That’s the normal rule, la norma habitual, but estás has an accent over the A, telling you to break the rule and put emphasis on it instead.
Beth: Como estás.
Salinas: Bueno! Now, hasta la vista.
Beth: That’s Spanish? I thought it was just something Arny made up.
Salinas: <laughs> No! That’s a real expression! It means “see you later.”

Gail Kim walks in. Beth and Salinas immediately get up. Gail walks up to Salinas, and the two stare each other down.

Gail: Last week you stuck your nose in my business. You’re getting in the way of my taking out Beth. So tonight, we settle this. You and me, in that ring. What do you say to that, little girl?
Salinas: You think you can take me on? ¿Es usted que alucinatorios? Alright then, slanteye, you’ve got yourself a match! Acepto tu reto, but here’s the twist! This is the WWR, el pináculo de la mujer de luchadores, so why don’t we do it like we do back home en la nación Latina? Salinas y Gail Kim en una calle lucha, in a street fight! You call yourself World Champion, la campeón del mundo, so step up and act like it!
Gail Kim: <stares Salinas down> …you’re on.

Gail Kim leaves.

Beth: I like the train of thought, but are you sure about this?
Salinas: Don’t worry, I’ve got a backup plan if things don’t work out. <flips open her cell phone and walks out> Es Salinas. Ven aquí, usted debería obtener algún tipo de acción! <to Beth> Hasta la vista… baby! <smirks and walks out>

Lilian: Here is your winner, by submission, the WWR World Champion, Gail Kim!

Gail releases Salinas, and Salinas stumbles away, holding her arm. Gail looks at her, seemingly about to attack, but then just waves her hands dismissively at Salinas and begins to walk to the back. She turns around at the top of the ramp and holds her belt high.

Suddenly, Gail is lifted high by someone from behind. Homicide, holding Gail, hits her with a Gringo Killer. The Latin American X-Change them starts, and Homicide and Hernandez make their way to the ring, flashing their LAX sign to everyone. Beth stands outside the ring, clearly confused, talking to Salinas. Salinas just laughs, and flashes LAX to her. Homicide and Hernandez enter the ring.

Homicide: It’s come to our attention that some of you people <spins around to point at everyone> and ESPECIALLY some of you gringos in the back <points up the ramp> aren’t giving Salinas the respect she deserves! ¿Quién crees que eres, tú patético prostitutas?
Hernandez: Nosotros no defendemos que, gringos!
Homicide: So let’s make one thing perfectly clear, perfectamente claro, to you all back there! We are still the Latin American Exchange! El intercambio de América Latino! You mess with any one of us, and you’re messin’ with the Latino Nation! And Hernandez and I are just DYING, queremos mostrarle tú, to show you all just like we show the gringos back in TNA, 5150 ain’t nothin’ to mess with!

LAX’s theme starts, and the three of them show off for the crowd. Salinas beckons Beth to come into the ring. Beth laughs and shakes her head. Salinas says something to Hernandez. Hernandez reaches down from the ring, grabs Beth’s arms, and yanks her all the way up over the top rope and into the ring. Beth looks between where she was on the ground and where she is now, clearly surprised, as Hernandez just laughs and shows off for the crowd some more. Salinas shows Beth how to flash the LAX sign, and after some coaxing, Beth shows it off for the crowd too.

Gail, recovered and now standing and holding the back of her head, breaths hard and glares at the scene in the ring.

----------------------

Elvira is watching the screen with a look of disbelief. Finally, she picks up the phone and dials.

Elvira: …yeah, it’s me. Look, this place has totally lost control… yeah, fax me the contract and get her over here.

----------------------

MsChif walks down the back hallways, smiling and cackling to herself. Suddenly, she stops, her smile gone. She stares in front of her, motionless, then screams and spins around with a backfist. Nobody is behind her. MsChif looks around, then walks off screen.

WWR Review

Daizee/Portia promo- You get a sence for their anger and urgency.

MsChif/Portia promo- Good promo from MsChif. I like this story.

MsChif vs. Portia- Very good match. These two work well together.

Elvira and others promos- I loved the bit about seeing the movie Mirrors. Elvira is always the scene stealer in your promos.

Tag Match- I really expected this to be a squash. Even though the Beautiful People dominated for a good amount of time Krystal still got the win. Good decision bookingwise.

Elvira/ODB promo- Unrelenting is a good name for a PPV.

Victoria promo- Good intense promo.

Hardcore match- Not much hardcore in the match, but it was still good.

Rain/Victoria brawl- Good action. I did not expect anyone to be set on fire.

Beth/Salinas promo- Even though I hate Salinas it was still a good promo.

Street Fight- Now this was hardcore, good finish.

LAX promo- Can't say that I expected that to happen.

Elvira promo- Can't wait to figure out who shes talking about.

BM: MsChif vs. Portia
WM: Hardcore match
BP: Rain and Victoria brawl
WP: NA they were all very good.
AC: Another great show that left me with so many questions. I can't wait for the next show.
Plug: Check out POI when you get the chance.

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

I'm way too lazy to keep up the spoiler page, so unless people speak up, I'm gonna take it down.

Elvira is pacing back and forth in her office. Sandman is leaning against the back wall with beer. Rain walks in.

Rain: …the hell kind of office is this? Whatever. You wanted me, Elvira? Wait, that sounded wrong. You wanted to see-
Elvira: You shut the hell up!!
Rain: <after a lengthy pause> …not what I expected from the General Manager of Halo 3, or whatever it is you do back here. What is that, a lava lamp?
Elvira: Rain, it’s one thing to prove yourself by… <paces back and forth, brushing her hair back with both hands> …I told you to go out there and win a hardcore match, not… <paces more> …YOU SET VICTORIA ON FIRE OUT THERE!!!
Rain: You don’t have to tell me, I was there. <gets in Elvira’s face and points a finger> You didn’t believe I was a worthy opponent. To you and every other lemming out there I was just “that girl who never won a match.” Well, I’m not hearing that crap from anyone anymore. You, and everyone else out there, need to get this through your thick skulls – I am Rain, and if you cross me, so help me God it’ll be the last mistake you ever make.
Elvira: …first of all, you’d better take a step back.
Rain: <takes an exaggerated step back and holds her arm straight out> Three feet of personal space. Happy?
Elvira: <rubs her temples, then wipes her forehead> Ok, Rain, you’re this big tough bitch now? Well then guess what. You’re the first match of the night, and you’re up against Awesome Kong. And this time, it’ll be a submission match!

----------------------------

Cole: We are two weeks away from Unrelenting! I’m Michael Cole, alongside Sharmell, and wow, what a match. Rain taking on Awesome Kong in a Submission Match. WWR’s first, I believe.
Sharmell: You won’t be able to call this a match. What’s Rain going to do? All Kong has to do is lock in that Accordion Rack and it’s all over but the cryin’.
Cole: I’ve gotta agree. For those of you who didn’t catch last week’s show, Rain had to prove herself to Elvira by beating Jacqueline in a hardcore match. Rain did it, and Victoria came out after the match to try to get a cheap shot. Watch what happened then.

A promo airs showing Rain hitting Jacqueline with Acid Rain onto a chair, then Victoria coming down, and Rain destroying her outside the ring and flambéing her.

Submission Match

Rain charges and hits Kong with a dropkick, but just bounces off and hits the mat as Kong doesn’t move. Rain quickly backs away. Rain gets up, bounces off the ropes, and charges for another dropkick. Again, Kong doesn’t move. Rain hits the mat, and Kong grabs her. Kong brings Rain up into an Accordion Rack, but Rain flips out of it and goes for a double knee backbreaker.

Kong walks to the middle of the ring, turns around, and charges. Rain drops Kong with a drop toe hold, knocking Kong into the turnbuckles.

Kong gets to her feet, and Rain charges and hits a low dropkick to Kong’s right knee, dropping her onto it. Rain springs up and hits a standing dropkick to Kong’s face. Kong falls face first onto the mat, her legs dangling outside the ring. Rain gets up, grabs Kong’s right leg, bends it around the bottom rope, and yanks it through the bottom and middle ropes. Kong screams in pain, and after four seconds the ref has to yank Rain away.

Kong slowly gets to her feet, favoring her left leg. Rain charges, and Kong levels her with a lariat. Kong rubs her right knee for a moment, then reaches down and grabs Rain by the neck with both hands. Kong yanks Rain up to eye level.

After a minute, Rain claws Kong’s eyes. Kong gets up and stumbles back, and Rain rolls off her knee and hits the mat on her stomach. Rain lies there, holding her back.

Kong grabs Rain again, and this time lifts her into the Accordion rack. Rain gets free again, this time falling forward and hitting a double knee gutbuster. Kong falls to the side and lands on her back, holding her chest. Rain quickly crawls to Kong and locks in a kneebar on her right leg. Kong claws at the mat and pulls her hair in pain.

Rain rolls away and slowly gets to her feet, holding her back. Kong gets up, and Rain charges. Kong grabs Rain, gets her high in a gorilla press, and slams her down on her stomach. Kong places a foot on Rain’s back and presses down. Rain screams in pain. Kong grabs the top rope, pulling up to put more pressure on Rain. The ref counts, and Kong gets off Rain at four. Rain rolls away from Kong, moving to the center of the ring, but can’t get up. Kong runs and jumps for a splash, but Rain rolls out of the way and Kong hits the mat. Rain quickly gets up, grabs Kong’s right leg, and locks in a single leg Boston crab. Kong tries to claw to the ropes, but Rain holds her ground.

Raisha Saeed begins to climb onto the ring apron. Suddenly, ODB jumps out of the audience. Raisha stands on the ring apron, and ODB grabs her ankles and yanks her off. Raisha’s head bounces off the side of the ring. ODB scoops her up and hits her with a running powerslam.

Rain screams from the effort she’s putting into the crab. Finally, Kong taps.

Lilian: Here is your winner, by submission, Rain!

Rain lets go of Kong, stumbles away, and falls to her hands and knees. She rises to just her knees and painfully holds her back. She looks behind her, and sees ODB outside the ring, holding a limp Raisha with one hand. ODB tosses Raisha away.

ODB: Hell yeah, but you still need to pick a stipulation!!

Rain watches ODB go back up the ramp, and slowly gets to her feet.

----------------------------

Daizee Haze and Portia Perez are in the weight room. Daizee is doing reps on the dumbbells.

Portia: Any word from Roxxi?
Daizee: Not a thing.
Portia: Damn it. Did we wake up in an M. Night Shyamalan movie? People don’t just disappear!
Daizee: I hope we didn’t. He hasn’t made a decent movie in years.
Portia: Oh you know what I mean.
Daizee: Look, we can’t worry about that now. <tosses the dumbbells aside and gets up> Roxxi can take care of herself. Now, I’m going out there to finish what you started.
Portia: Hey!
Daizee: Oh chill out. <pats Portia’s shoulder and walks out>
Portia: …‘chill out’? Riiiight.

----------------------------

Elvira is in her office, Sandman against the back wall. Angelina Love and Velvet Sky walk in.

Elvira: Oh god. Look, you two, not now. If I have to deal with one more… person like you, I’ll be the one flambéing anyone who gets in my way.
Angelina: Woah, woah, relax!
Velvet: We’ve seen the stress you’re under, and it really isn’t fair! Melina’s out there going against everything you say, Rain is setting people on fire, your North American Champion is probably on a cruise in Bermuda or something right now, Salinas is calling in gangs to beat up your World Champion; we’d have snapped long ago!
Angelina: But here you are, not even the tiniest breakout from all this stress! We envy you, we really do. And you, Sandman! Having to run around like a crazy person, trying to keep order? It may seem like you’re not doing enough, but God knows the kind of mess this place would be without you!
Sandman: Heh! Yeah, well, I do what I can. <drinks>
Elvira: …okay, you two are being nice. Should I call Satan and ask if Hell has indeed frozen over?

Angelina and Velvet laugh.

Angelina: Nice one! <wraps an arm around Elvira> But really, that German complexion of yours? When freaks all over the world put pounds of makeup on, it’s to shoot for having a face even half this perfect!
Elvira: For the love of… what do you two want?
Velvet: <wraps an arm around Elvira> We don’t want anything, except to help you! Everyone is doing whatever they want around here, and if there’s one thing we know how to do, it’s keep freaks in line.
Elvira: …right, and…?
Angelina: The way we see it, you need to make an example of someone. Remember when you beat Melina? Remember how right away everyone was forced to respect you? You need to do that again. People seem to have forgotten what Elvira Becker is capable of. But if you remind them, all this crap will go away.
Elvira: Yeah, but I only did that to Melina because she was acting…
Velvet: Yeess?
Elvira: …pretty much the same as she is now.
Angelina: Exactly! Those who fail history are doomed to repeat it! …or something like that. She didn’t get the message, and the rest of them have forgotten it, so it’s time to lace up those Jet Li boots and do it again.
Elvira: And what do you two get out of this?
Velvet: Just the satisfaction of knowing that we helped you bring this place back under control. We want to see you <taps Elvira’s nose> back here with your foam-dome hat full of Pepsi and your Triple-X Box all hooked up and killing 12 year olds again.
Angelina: So… want us to tell Melina she has a match against you?
Elvira: Huh… send a message…

----------------------------

JB: JB, Jeremy Borash, here beside the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix. Beth, given everything that’s been going on lately, I don’t think much has been announced in terms of our next pay per view, Unrelenting. We know that ODB is going up against Rain, Rain yet to decide the stipulations for that, but aside from that we really don’t know what’s going to happen.
Beth: Well, you can add another match to the card. I spoke to Elvira earlier today… I’ve never seen her so pissed, by the way. But anyway, Elvira agreed to give me a rematch for the World Title at Unrelenting. It’ll be the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix, one on one with Gail Kim. She also mentioned that she’s probably going to put Roxxi Laveaux in a match against MsChif for the North American Championship.
JB: Well, we’re certainly looking forward to those two matches. But speaking of Roxxi, we haven’t seen her since MsChif took her out in the back. Rain set Victoria on fire, God knows how long she’s going to be out for, and Salinas called in the LAX to take out Gail Kim. What are your thoughts on all this?
Beth: <smirks> What can I say? I took Raisha Saeed out for over a month, so I can relate to all this. MsChif and Rain were being overlooked, at least in their minds, so they did what they had to do to get the spotlight to shine on them. As for Salinas… what can I say, she’s Salinas, that’s what she does. I managed to convince Elvira not to kill her over what happened last week, so instead, Elvira put Salinas in a match with Traci Brooks. That’s up next, so, hasta la vista.

----------------------------

Melina is sitting in the locker room, looking at a large shard of glass. Christy Hemme and Krystal walk in.

Christy: Hey, you’ve healed up nicely.
Melina: <smacks her forehead> What the hell do you two want? You’ve been following me around for like three weeks. Do you want to be next in line after I take out Angelina and Velvet, is that it?
Krystal: Melina, Elvira isn’t going to stop until-
Melina: <mocking voice> Ooohh Elvira isn’t gonna stoopp! I don’t give a damn what she does or doesn’t do! As far as I’m concerned, you stole a pin from me last week. You stole an opportunity for me to disfigure Angelina as bad as Roxxi LaFreak tried to do to me. So consider yourself lucky that I don’t consider you worth wasting time on when there are two frail, slutty princesses out there that I still need to cripple!

Angelina and Velvet knock on the open door and give a holler. Christy and Krystal have to restrain Melina.

Angelina: Woah, woah, careful, you’ll break a sweat and lose what’s left of your good looks, sweetie.
Velvet: Besides, save your strength. Tonight, it’s you, one on one, against Elvira!

Angelina and Velvet laugh and walk out, leaving Melina, Christy, and Krystal in shock.

Beth Phoenix runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. Gail quickly turns and runs out of the ring, landing beside Traci. Beth glares at Gail, then looks at Traci and just smirks.

Beth: You want in on this? Okay, let’s go!

Traci glares at Beth, chair in hand, but after a few moments drops the chair. Gail and Traci walk around the ring and backwards up the ramp, Beth watching them the whole way.

----------------------------

Melina, Krystal, and Christy Hemme are walking down the halls. Melina walks quickly, in the lead, while Krystal and Christy tail her on either side, trying to keep up.

Christy: Melina, stop!
Krystal: All you need to do is show Elvira some respect and she’ll stop harassing you!
Melina: RESPECT?! <spins around to face Krystal and Christy> I’m a former WWE Champion, and that company is a hell of a lot more successful than this one, and a HELL of a lot more successful than SHIMMER. Yet those nobodies get all the breaks here, and Elvira tries week in and week out to what, beat me into submission? I. Don’t Submit.
Christy: Melina-
Melina: NO! If Elvira wants a fight, she’ll get one. Then, I’m taking out Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. And when all is said and done, I’ll stand alone in that ring and pick which title I’ll get to win, because I’ll have COMMANDED respect from Elvira, those losers at home, those freaks in the locker room, and you two. <points at each of them> I don’t have to show some Pepsi-drinking skank ANY respect. I’ve done a HELL of a lot more in my life than she ever will, so if anyone has the right to beat respect out of people, it’s the upcoming World Champion, MELINA.

[Qwake]

Opening promo: Good promo, Elvira was very boss like and Rain made me laugh. It was a nice way to set up the opening match of the show which should be quite competive since its a submission match.

Opening match: It was a pretty big match, Kong looked dominant but at the same time beatable. It was a good well thought out match with Saed/ODB and the end result with Rain winning was good in my book.

Portia/Haze: This was a good little promo, some funny parts and it all made good sense. This got me a little more interested in her match.

Beautiful people/Elvira: This was a great promo, they were being little suck up bitches in this one lol. Good length in the promo and from what I know the two were in pretty good character, nice show building to for the match later on in the night.

Haze Vs Mishif: Great match, it was very competitive, it had alot of great action going on and it kept me quite interested since I know a little more about these two then others. Mischif winning in the end was unexpected for me but it was a good match none the less. (Code Green is awesome!).

Beth/JB: Average little promo, quite short but it got to the point of the matches being named. Good job.

Melina and others: Wow, Melina is REALLY pissed off lol. I like the Roxxi LaFreak remark made This was a pretty goos promo which really heats things up esp for the match with Elvira later on!

Salinas Vs Traci: A pretty basic match imo, good seeing Traci win. The ending was kinda weird how they didn't actually hurt Salinas lol. Nothing wrong with the match but Haze/Mischif was better.

Melina again: Another good little promo by her, this really helps build up feud/the match thats coming up. Nice job with that. The Mischif part was interesting to lol.

Main Event: Pretty good match that flowed through quite well imo, the ending will definitely heat things up aftre Melina didn't shake the hand and hit her with another Extreme Maker Over! Good match and good ending to the show.

AC: Great show, the matches were definitely the best. Haze/Mischifs match was best of the night imo. All of the feuds are starting to heat up and I will try and check out your next show!!!

Review of Dave Prazak's Shimmer, I mean RLF's WWR.

BM: Daizee vs. MsChif. Although all the matches were good this one was better. These two are awesome competitors and any time they are facing each other the result is a great match. You don't usually see to many ref bumps in women's matches but this one was handled great with Daizee having the match won on several occassions and MsChif picking up the win in the end.

WM: Tomko: NO!

BP: Melina's throughout the show. Any time she was talking was in character and really added fire to the main event match. Melina is really trying her best to break away from the Beautiful People and is doing so very nicely

WP: None every promo was entertaining and served a purpose.

AC: Once again another good show. This is how women's wrestling should be handled. Intriguing storylines, good matches, and no time wasting beauty contests and pillow fights.

WWR Review

Rain/Elvira promo- Damn good promo. The opening match sould be interesting.

Submission match- Huge shocker here. I didn't expect Rain to even have a chance to win. This was a great match.

Daizee/Portia promo- M. Night Shymalanadingdong just got owned.

Elviria/Beautiful People promo- I really liked how it started out with all the compliments. Good promo.

Daizee vs. MsChif- Really good match. This is the match of the night. This show has been great so far.

Beth promo- It really didn't feel like a Beth promo. It felt like something to hype up a PPV.

Melina and others promo- Good promo.

Salinas vs. Traci- Good match, but not as good as the other matches of the night.

Melina and friends/MsChif promo- Good promo. I like this angle with MsChif.

Main Event- Pretty good match. Action packed, a fun read.

AC: Another great show. The first half of it was amazing.

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

The camera follows a pair of black boots walking down the halls. From what is visible, the wearer is Caucasian and muscular. The wearer opens a door, revealing Elvira’s office. The wearer enters and closes the door behind her, blocking view.

Wearer: <obscured by the door> Alright, let me sign the contract and we can get going with this.
Elvira: Right here.

----------------------------

“Let’s see what you got!”

A remix of Biggest Letdown plays, and Elvira makes her way to the ring, microphone in hand. She’s mostly cheered, but there is a noticeable negative reaction.

Elvira: WELCOME, ONE AND ALL, TO THE WOMEN’S WRESTLING REVOLUTIIIIOOOOOONN!!!
Cole: My ears!
Elvira: I’m still torn between a bunch of ideas for matches tonight, but one I can tell you for sure is: World Champion Gail Kim, teaming up with Traci Brooks, to take on the team of Beth Phoenix and Salinas. And Salinas requested this since “It’s how they do it back home”, and it’s too fun to pass up, so the match will be a backstage brawl tag! I don’t know what the hell is going on in that Latino Nation, but I love it!

Elvira: But, more importantly, we’re just one week away from Unrelenting! So let’s run down the list, shall we? Beth Phoenix will be challenging Gail Kim for the WWR World Championship! ODB will be taking on Rain, defending the Revolutionary Championship, in a stipulation Rain has yet to decide. Yeah, Rain? HURRY UP! And finally, the North American Championship will be on the line, as Roxxi Laveaux takes on MsChif, in one hell of a grudge match. Now, about Melina-

Elvira is interrupted by MsChif’s music. MsChif comes down the ramp, microphone in hand.

MsChif: Why are you saying Roxxi will be here, Elvira? <tilts head> I know you’re all wrapped up in your Melina problem, but have you not been following? Well, I guess I can’t blame you, since none of you saw the full extent of what happened.

MsChif climbs outside the ring and reaches under it, pulling out various weapons.

MsChif: I dragged her into the storeroom back there. First, I cracked her with a chair! <slams a chair on the edge of the ring> Then, I broke a kendo stick across her back!! <swings a kendo stick at the ringpost, snapping the stick in half> Then, one of these steel rods? Oh, I had FUN with THIS! <cracks it against the post several times> And then… <slides out a ladder and puts a two-by-four between the two halves> Remember what happened to Joey Mercury? WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM PALES IN COMPARISON!! <jumps and stomps on the ladder, crushing the two-by-four>

MsChif then notices a matchbook on the ground. She cackles and picks it up, and slides into the ring.

MsChif: Too bad I didn’t think of THIS, but oh well. The point is, Elvira, Roxxi is GONE. You can book her for a match all you want, but she is NOT COMING!

Rain’s theme begins, and Rain makes her way to the ring with a microphone.

Rain: <takes the matchbook from MsChif> What can I say? I do quality work! …stop looking at me like a crazy woman, MsChif. I know it’s hard, but try your best. I came out here to say, ha! Great work! You saw what you wanted, and you took it. I wasted my time barbecuing Victoria, when I should have saved that treatment for <mocking> The Oh Dee Bee, OOOHHH!! I wanted to catch the hunter, but I went for the prey. But you, you proved who the top dog is. Nice!

MsChif: <smirks and curtsies>

Rain: So my idea is, when I become Revolutionary Champion next week, and you become North American Champion, we team up and take out the World Champion! Beth Phoenix, Gail Kim, same bitch, different wrapper. And then, it’ll be Rain and MsChif, ruling over all the WW-

ODB’s music starts, and ODB comes to the ring, accompanied by Daizee Haze and Portia Perez. The two sides stare each other down.

ODB: You two want to start, or should I?
Daizee: You go ahead. What we want to say needs no microphone.
ODB: I like that! Now Rain, you can come out here and brownnose MsChif all you want, but I’ve given you three weeks and you still can’t come up with a match stipulation! This is the Revolutionary Championship, so of course we shouldn’t be talkin’ in the ring, but damn, hurry up! Some other chicks might like it slow, but not the OH DEE BEE, OOOHHH!!

Elvira just tosses her microphone behind her, smirking and shaking her head.

Rain: …thanks for that. But alright, you want a stip so bad? Alright! We’re gonna brawl up high, where Acid Rain comes from! You and me, for that title, in WWR’s first Ladder Match! And don’t you think I want this match so I can win that belt without pinning you, sweetie. I’m not taking that belt down until I get you on top of that ladder and drive you down with a 20 foot Rain Drop! Now THAT’S revolutionary! <mocking> OOOHHH!!

ODB, Daizee, and Portia exchange words briefly. ODB gives the microphone to Daizee.

Daizee: Alright, now that that’s settled, Portia and I have something to say to YOU, MsChif!

Daizee spears MsChif down and begins hammering punches. Rain moves to intercept, but Portia hits her with a superkick, knocking her flat on her back.

Elvira: HEY! HEY! NO!!

Elvira shoves everyone apart, and stands between them.

Elvira: I like the enthusiasm, but NO! I’m dealing with enough right now and I certainly don’t have the time or patience to scrape your blood off the mat! So right now, here’s another match I can sign! You two <points at MsChif and Rain> against two of YOUR three! <points at ODB, Daizee, and MsChif> Not having a three on two, so draw straws and let’s go!

ODB, Daizee, and Portia discuss it, and ODB steps out of the ring.

----------------------------

Beth Phoenix is walking around outside, Krystal beside her.

Beth: I thought Elvira fired you from interviewing.
Krystal: I know, but what else do I have to do all day?

Salinas drives up and gets out of her car.

Salinas: Buenas noches, Glamazóna!
Beth: Glama… Salinas, what’s this I hear about a backstage brawl tag match?
Salinas: Oh, you’ll LOVE it! Te ame ello. Before you go up against that slanteye princess, you HAVE to rough her up in the street! Calle lucha! Infierno sí! En la nacion Latina, it’s not enough to take your opponent’s prized possessions. You’ve gotta take their LIVES, destruirlos desde dentro! That prostituta will have a full week to look at herself in the mirror every DAY, todos los días, and KNOW that you’ve already broken and beaten her. Then next week, it’s a simple matter of walking over to her broken body and picking up that cinturón de oro! <flashes LAX to camera> Keep it hardcore, like a 187! <walks off>
Beth: …one of these days I’ll put her through my workout routine and we’ll see how gangsta she is. <smirks and shakes her head> Krystal, Salinas has pretty much been putting words in my mouth ever since Gail stole the title from me. I’m not much for talking so I don’t mind, but just to make it perfectly clear: Next week, at Unrelenting, I am taking back the title that I never lost. And Salinas’ plan here of roughing Gail Kim up before then? Well, hard to disagree. <smirks and walks off>

----------------------------

JB: JB, Jeremy Borash, here with the Revolutionary Champion, ODB. ODB, tonight Rain challenged you to a Ladder Match at Unrelenting next week, and your word is your word so I’m assuming you’re accepting.
ODB: Damn right, the ODB always keeps her promises! Question, JB. What’s in here? <holds up flask>
JB: …there are varying schools of thought on that.
ODB: Ya see, Rain is an oddball. She likes playing with water. She calls herself Rain, she calls all her moves Rain; hell, when it’s raining she probably runs out of the house trying to catch it in her mouth like that Barney song. Well, I haven’t watched that show since I was 4 and that’s about as long as it’s been since I’ve had a glass of water, either. Water doesn’t recharge the sugar, potassium, carbs, or electrolytes that the body needs to be at its peak!
JB: Oh, so that’s Gatorade in there?
ODB: Hell no, it’s vodka, what kind of question is that? <shakes head and walks off> Gatorade! <drinks>

----------------------------

The large room has empty steel drums standing along the left wall. Folding tables and steel chairs line the right wall. A steel shelf along the back wall is full of various objects. The doors on the back wall are open and lead out to the parking lot.

JB, the ref, and the camera guy run outside into the parking lot. Beth and Gail are still brawling, and security has to break them apart.

----------------------------

Melina, Christy Hemme, and Krystal walk in to Elvira’s office. Sandman is leaning against the back with beer.

Elvira connects with a front snap kick to Melina. Melina leaves her feet and falls flat on her back, and quickly backs away.

Christy: Elvira, what the hell!!

Elvira shoves Christy aside with one hand and walks up to Melina, who is still on the floor.

Elvira: I tried to end this all last week. You beat me, I tried to shake your hand, and you slammed my face into the mat. So you know what? I’m sick of being nice to either of you. <points finger between Melina, Christy, and Krystal> So here’s how it’s gonna go down: your girlfriends here, Christy and Krystal, are going to be in a tag match at Unrelenting against Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. And you, Melina, your match up next is against Awesome Kong, inside a steel cage! And if you manage to survive that, I’ll be sure to put you in something even worse at Unrelenting! Now, the three of you, GET OUT!!

----------------------------

Daizee Haze and Portia Perez are sitting in the lounge.

Portia: Daizee, I swear, I didn’t see you there and I didn’t mean-
Daizee: Portia! I know, alright? These things happen. I don’t care about the match. The problem is that happened because you were too busy showing off to win the match.
Portia: <looks away>
Daizee: Look, you were on a roll, fine. If I came up with that spinny thing you do I’d want to do it too. But you had Rain beat, all you had to do was hit your spinning Unprettier-
Portia: Kosher Pickle. You don’t want TNA to sue us.
Daizee: Eh, we’re in a working relationship, that’s how LAX got here. But you see what I’m saying?
Portia: Yeah. I won’t screw up next time, I promise.

Suddenly, the lights go out. Daizee and Portia yell in confusion. After a few seconds, the lights come back on. Daizee and Portia are on their feet, looking around for an attacker. Everything in the room is the same, except for a small red bottle on the coffee table. Daizee notices it first, and picks it up.

Daizee: …Louisiana hot sauce?

----------------------------

Kong enters the cage first, Saeed staying outside. When Melina comes down, she asks for a microphone. She enters the ring, and a ref stands between her and Kong.

Melina: You just stay back there, this isn’t about you. <turns to the camera> Is this your plan, Elvira? Just keep throwing freaks at me until I… what, send you a birthday card? Start dedicating matches to you? Is that what you want? Well alright, I can do that. Everyone? This next match, I personally dedicate to a sad, lonely, pathetic, cowardly Berlinian runt, who spends her days starting two-bit wrestling companies stocked with Shimmer nobodies in hopes of getting respect from her social betters. A cheapshot-taking, Sandman-servicing, kickboxing-rejected, inbred bitch: Elvira. Becker. I dedicate this match to you. Heil Elvira.

Melina tosses the microphone out the cage door.

Nikki Roxx couldn’t beat the lesson into you… that’s Roxxi Laveaux, fyi, so I guess it’s my turn! Oh, almost forgot. Elvira told me to tell you: At Unrelenting next week? It’ll be, one on one, Melina against Sara Del Rey!

----------------------------

Elvira is watching the whole thing on screen. Sandman is beside her, beer in hand. Salinas walks in, still in bad shape from her match earlier, and looks at the screen.

Salinas: …should I expect something like this?
Elvira: Huh? Oh, no, I’m over your little LAX stunt. Looking back, it was pretty awesome. <laughs> Viva Latino!
Salinas: Hasta la muerte! <flashes LAX>
Elvira: Woo! <flashes LAX with opposite hands, doing it backwards>
Salinas: You’re… oh whatever. <laughs>
Elvira: So what can I do for you? Need an ice pack? I don’t think we have any… Sandman, what do we have?
Sandman: Cold beer. <tosses Salinas one>
Salinas: <catches it and holds it to her head> Gracias. Well pretty much everyone is already in a lucha por Unrelenting, but I’m not, and I’ve still got major bones to pick with that espinas, puta cobarde, Traci Brooks.
Elvira: I’m hoping what you just said won’t make us lose our network deal.
Salinas: <shrugs innocently>
Elvira: Right… well ok, you want Traci at Unrelenting, you’ve got her. And you know, we’ve pretty much just got standard matches on the card except for that ladder match, so… ok, humor me, what do you do back home en la latino nacion in this situation?
Salinas: <smirks> En la nacion Latina. In the sense you’re using the words you want to put the description of the nation AFTER… nevermind, nevermind. My advice, mi consejo, is Salinas y Traci Brooks… we took it to the ring, we took it to the back, we took it to the streets, but all that was just the setup, la historia de fondo a la gran final. Back home, this is where we settle it forever! Siempre, sin excusas! Salinas y Traci Brooks, Last. Woman. Standing.
Elvira: Das klingt gut für mich. Ich bin damit einverstanden, ich werde Zeichen des Spiels.
Salinas: …what?
Elvira: See? Nobody likes that. <smirks>
Salinas: Hablo, I speak Spanglish! There is no Germlish!
Elvira: <laughs> Fine, fine. But alright, yes. Salinas against Traci Brooks at Unrelenting, last woman standing.

----------------------------

MsChif is wandering the back hallways, snickering and cackling to herself. Suddenly, the lights go out. MsChif screams in fury, and the lights come back on.

MsChif walks down the hall and enters the dressing room. Angelina Love and Velvet Sky are there, putting on eyeliner.

MsChif: Did you touch the lights?!
Angelina: …no, we’ve been here the whole time!
Velvet: Yeah, really! What’s your problem?
MsChif: Somebody touched them, somebody touched them…

MsChif looks at the closest mirror. She slowly walks towards it, breathing hard. She reaches out slowly and touches it with the tips of her fingers.

MsChif: …it’s one-way glass…
Angelina: …what?
Velvet: Those are mirrors, girl. Maybe you should look at them before you come in every day.

MsChif ignores them. She walks to the nearest chair and picks it up.

MsChif: IT’S ONE-WAY GLASS!!

MsChif throws the chair at the mirror. The chair bounces off, breaking a leg. The mirror gets a huge circular pattern of cracks from the impact, and suddenly the mirror falls off its mounts and crashes to the ground, breaking into three and several fragments.

Angelina and Velvet back away as far as they can. MsChif looks at the glass, then at the bare wall behind it. She glares at Angelina and Velvet, then walks out.

[chessarmy]

Opening segment: A nice start to the show This was a great way to get me introduced to all the feuds you got going. I'm looking forward to seeing the tag team backstage brawl. I also hope Roxxi returns and kicks Ms.Chif's ass

Daizee Haze and Portia Perez vs. Mschif and Rain: Nice tag match, there were some good spots in here, the match really picked up during the ref's ring out count. Nice to see Mschif and Rain get the victory, they are coming off as great heels right now.

Beth Pheonix/Salinas segment: Damn, Salinas seems really pumped up about the match for later tonight lol. Nice angle here, a good way to set up the match. lol at Krystal's "What else do I have to do?"

ODB promo: Awesome! You're realling nailing ODB's character. I loved this, lmao at JB thinking the flask had gatorade :laugh:

Beth Pheonix and Salinas vs Gail Kim and Traci Brooks: Brutal match! I was a little worried with how you were going to write this at first, but you did a good job with it. Action packed, with tons of great spots. You avoided a clusterfuck by seperating the match into two brawls. Nice job

Elvira's pwnage: All I have to say is damn, she's pissed lol

Daizee Haze and Portia Perez in the lounge: Another good segment, I'm wondering what the hell you have planned with the whole hot souce deal. This was a great way to tease whatever you have planned.

Melina promo: Solid promo, you did a good job with showing just how pissed Melina is after what happened in the Lounge

Kong vs Melina in the cage: Nice start with Melina trying to end it early. Wow, I'm surpirsed you gave Melina the clean victory. Anyway, solid match here, Melina's repeated escape attempts was a nice touch.

Sara Del Ray: OWNAGE! She destroyed Melina, the match between the two at Unrelenting should be great.

Elvira/Salinas backstage: I loved how you added in the German and Spanish, it added to both cahracters. "Hablo, I speak Spanglish! There is no Germlish!" :laugh:

MsChif/Beautiful People segment: What the hell? This was bazzarre to say the least, MsChif throws a chair at the mirror and there is a hole behind it? What is this all about? I wonder what you have planned with this angle?

Line of the night:

hell, when it’s raining she probably runs out of the house trying to catch it in her mouth like that Barney song. Well, I haven’t watched that show since I was 4 and that’s about as long as it’s been since I’ve had a glass of water, either. Water doesn’t recharge the sugar, potassium, carbs, or electrolytes that the body needs to be at its peak

Additional Thoughts: I will be a regular reviewer of this BTB after reading this show, I could barely find any errors, it was as close to perfect as you can get. I loved the ending angle, I'm very interested in what is going to happen with the hole in the wall thing. I also really enjoyed your matches, the Cage match was great, although I thought Melina getting the clean victory was questionable, she ended up getting her ass kicked anyway lol. The tag team backstage brawl was unique, it was a brutal match that really had non-stop action. Great show Roxxi.

Overall rating: 9.0

 

[Chuck Taylor's Grenade]

BM: The backstage brawl tag match was violent and intense, just the way I like it. All the matches were good but this one was just a little bit better.

WM: None

BP: The opening promo really accomplished alot as far as getting people familiar with what's going on and was a very good read, as we're all the promos, really.

WP: No!

AC: Nice final show heading into Unrelenting. Everything is shaping up quite nicely and the uniqueness of the storylines has me intrigued (hot sauce? wtf). Good to see Sara Del Ray debut, her match with Melina should be a battle. Unrelenting looks good on paper so far.

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

Part 1 of Unrelenting. Wow, my first PPV big enough to have to be split into parts! Yay! Lol.

-------------------------

Stagehands put the final touches on everything around the ring. Michael Cole and Sharmell are just taking their seats and testing their headsets.

Suddenly, Daizee Haze’s music starts, and Daizee and Portia Perez walk to the ring, microphones in hand.

Daizee: Sooo, who’s ready for some action that those lazy couch potatoes at home won’t see? Ya see, Portia and I don’t have official matches for Unrelenting, that’s why here tonight, we’re unveiling our new segment… <motions to the screen> The Pickled Daisy Recruitment Center!

The graphic shows up on screen.

Portia: …she came up with that, not me.
Daizee: Can’t you be a team player?
Portia: Not when the team is named that! That’s like something Santino Marella and Eric Young would call themselves!
Daizee: Hey hey, wooaah! Words can hurt! Fine, next time we do this YOU can pick the name!
Portia: I will!
Daizee: I know you will!
Portia: I know that you do!
Daizee: Do you?
Portia: That. I. Do.

They pause.

Daizee: …anyway, the show! Here’s how this one will work. Portia and I will team up to take on the tag team of two hopefuls who want WWR contracts. We’ll test them, and after the match, YOU get to decide whether or not we hire them, using theee <motions to the screen> DAIZEE-ROMETER!!

The screen shows a thermometer, with a cutout of Daizee’s head at the bottom.

Daizee: The louder you people cheer, the higher I get! If you take me to cloud nine, the talent gets hired! Get it? High-ered! Ha!
Portia: Okay, we get it, you and RVD hung out behind the school after class.
Daizee: You would know, you’re still there! You took the school bus to get here!
Portia: No I didn’t! It’s Sunday!

Another pause.

Daizee: …okay! Let’s bring out the two hopefuls! Introducing first, a girl who’s pretty loose and easy with all those indy shows, since she’s been to them all, but she always comes back home to OVW, where she’s the six time Women’s Champion!
Portia: That gives her the most Women’s Championship reigns in the history of OVW!
Daizee: Give it up for Serena Deeb!

Serena makes her way to the ring. She shakes hands with Daizee and Portia.

Daizee: And now, her tag team partner. We know a lot of you don’t watch the indy shows, and for that you should be ashamed, but at least this one most of you should know and love. She won a championship before she even signed a contract; Canada’s answer to the Milan Miracle, the Upset Queen, former Knockouts champion Taylor Wilde!

Taylor makes her way to the ring, and shakes hands with Daizee and Portia.

Portia: Alright, just so we’re clear, you two. You don’t have to win this match to get hired.
Daizee: Lucky for them, eh?
Portia: But that also means that winning doesn’t necessarily mean you get in either! It’s aaaallllll up to them! <spins and points to the crowd>
Daizee: <intentionally bad acting> Wait a second, Portia! I am having a thought!
Portia: <intentionally bad acting> Oh my god! Everyone, quiet! What is it, Daizee?!
Daizee: <intentionally bad acting> What if, to kick off this thing, we bring in a special guest referee!
Portia: <intentionally bad acting> Wow! That’s exactly what I was thinking!
Daizee: Freaky! So to that end, everyone, if you’re a fan of WWR then I’m sure you know her, but if you don’t, she’s pretty much responsible for half this roster being as good as it is. The co-founder of Shimmer, the inspiration of this company, let’s hear it for Allison Danger!!

Allison’s theme hits, and she makes her way to the ring. She greets everyone, then waves both sides to their corners. Before the match begins, she pats down everyone’s arms, legs, and boots.

-------------------------

Cole: Welcome, one and all to a night where the superstars are determined, merciless, cruel, and absolutely Unrelenting! I’m-
Sharmell: “Michael Cole, alongside the lovely Sharmell at ringside.” You’re so predictable.
Cole: Hey! Words hurt!
Sharmell: Just going with that whole ‘cruel’ theme.
Cole: Right. Well speaking of cruelty, we’re sure to see lots of it right now, as we’re wasting no time in jumping into this next match. Salinas and Traci Brooks, Last Woman Standing. Sharmell, who do you favor here?
Sharmell: Salinas, no question. Traci may be the veteran, but a match like this is something that our street-raised LAX representative grew up with. It’s a Street Fight with even less rules.

-------------------------

Krystal is in the locker room, lacing up the boots of Christy Hemme’s old Guitar Hero outfit. Christy walks in, wearing her military outfit.

Christy: Ready?
Krystal: Not really, no.
Christy: Yeah. Well, I spoke with Elvira. She said it’s bad business to just yank a match when the show is already on the air, but she said that after this, you’ll be taken off the active roster and put back in your interview spot.
Krystal: Well thank god. So what’s the plan tonight?
Christy: I think you should just sit this one out.
Krystal: <surprised> What? No!
Christy: You’re not a wrestler, Krystal! You’ll get killed out there! We have better chances of beating The Easy People in a two on one. You out there and I’d just have to watch out for you.
Krystal: <stands up> Hey, I can defend myself!
Christy: I’m sure you can, but slutty or not, those girls are good. When this night is over you want to be in your interview spot, not in a hospital bed!
Krystal: <sighs> Look, you’re probably right, but if I just sit this match out Elvira will probably go all Dog Day Afternoon on us again, and this will just keep going. I go out there now, and whether or not I get killed, this all ends.
Christy: …you know, you’re right, you’re right. Sorry. Let me just get something from my locker.

Christy opens her locker, and various items fall out. The locker is stuffed full.

Christy: Oh damn it. Just go, I’ll meet you there.

Krystal turns to leave. Christy reaches into her locker and pulls out a steel pipe. Christy runs and cracks the back of Krystal’s knee. Krystal screams and falls on her back. Krystal breathes heavily in pain, and looks at Christy. Krystal opens her mouth, but Christy quickly covers her mouth with one hand, and pulls her up.

Christy: You’ll thank me later.

Christy slams Krystal’s head into the lockers. Krystal falls to the ground, unconscious. Christy looks at her, sighs, and places Krystal in front of the mess that fell from her locker.

Christy: HELP! SECURITY!!

Security rushes in, headed by Sandman.

Christy: Get a stretcher, she tripped!

Several of them rush out of the room, while others tend to Krystal. Sandman eyes Christy suspiciously.

Christy: …come on, she’s my tag partner, why would I lie? I’m screwed now!

----------------------------

Angelina Love and Velvet Sky go to the ring. Christy then makes her way to the ring. Lilian starts to announce Krystal, but Christy quickly interrupts her.

Lilian: …ladies and gentlemen, Krystal suffered an injury backstage. As a result, this match will now be a handicap match.

“Let’s see what you got!”

A remix of Biggest Letdown starts, and Elvira steps onto the ramp.

Elvira: Woah, woah, hold the phones, jam that sucker into reverse and stomp on the gas. Now Christy, I’m sure as hell not going to put you through a handicap match because your partner got into an accident backstage. That’s just not fair. But on the other hand, these people paid to see a show and they’re gonna get one! So instead of a handicap match, we’re gonna have ourselves an over the top rope battle, for the number-one-contendership to the championship of her choosing!

Angelina and Velvet smirk and mock Christy.

Elvira: Hey, hold up there, you two. We don’t have enough spare talent to make a 20-woman battle royal, but we certainly can do better than THREE! So in addition to you three, the match will include Awesome Kong and Jacqueline!

The competitors make their way to the ring.

MsChif is quickly walking down the hallways. She constantly looks back over her shoulder, runs her hands down the back of her head, and snickers and cackles to herself. She kicks open any door she sees and looks inside, always finding nobody.

MsChif: <snickering> Not here, not here, no, no… <cackles>

Suddenly, the lights go out. MsChif screams in rage.

MsChif: COME ON!! BRING IT ON!! LET’S DO THIS!!

MsChif gives another primal scream. She stops, and there’s dead silence. After a few seconds, a young girl’s voice suddenly begins to sing.

“Ring around the rosie, a pocket full of posies; ashes, ashes, we all fall dooowwwwn…

The lights come back on, revealing MsChif, breathing heavily. Elvira is standing right behind MsChif. MsChif turns around, sees Elvira, and jumps back in surprise.

MsChif: WHAT?!
Elvira: …do power outages really scare you that bad? What are you, five?
MsChif: <snickers to herself> Five, five, noooo, not five, not five… I have a title match and Roxxi is nowhere! What now?!
Elvira: Well it’s standard rules. A no show means a forfeit, so if she’s not here, you become North American Champion.
MsChif: <laughs> Good, good! Because she’s not here, Elvira. Roxxi is GONE, not here, not anywhere, nowhere, gone!

MsChif cackles and leaves, snickering to herself. Elvira watches her go, a bemused look on her face.

Elvira: …someone wanna check the damn circuit breaker or something?

-------------------------

Lilian announces MsChif. MsChif’s theme starts, and MsChif makes her way to the ring, microphone in hand. MsChif’s expression quickly changes back and forth between happiness, anger, and fear. She enters the ring, and begins pacing back and forth, snickering and cackling to herself. Lilian announces Roxxi, but after 20 seconds, nothing happens.

MsChif: Well here it is, here we are, the gang’s all here… well no, that’s not true, is it? No, nooo, not true at all, no… I’ve got a match, but I don’t have an opponent! <hysterical laugh> Nope! Roxxi isn’t here! She hasn’t been here for a month, and she isn’t coming back! I took her OUT! And if you don’t believe me, just take a look!

A video package airs. Roxxi walks into the lounge, finding Portia sprawled out on the floor and Daizee powerbombed through the coffee table. MsChif comes up behind Roxxi and attacks her, knocking her about the room before finally throwing her into the tv.

Suddenly, the package cuts out, and the arena is pitch black. After a few seconds, an image from one of the hallway security cameras comes on screen. Portia Perez is crumpled up in the middle of the hallway, motionless. Daizee Haze suddenly walks into frame, and bends down to check on Portia. The footage grows choppy and cuts into static. After a few seconds the footage comes back for a split second, showing Daizee being confronted by someone, then it cuts back to static, then to black.

The little girl begins quietly singing again in the darkness.

“Ring around the rosie, a pocket full of posies; ashes, ashes, we all fall dooowwwwn…

The line repeats itself over and over. The screen returns to static, occasionally displaying various dark, eerie images for a split second.

Suddenly, deep red rights come on, bathing the arena in a red aura. The screen cuts to black, and the little girl stops singing. MsChif, in a panic, looks around.

MsChif: …COME ON! STOP PLAYING GAMES!!

Smoke begins to fill the entrance ramp, hiding the tunnel from view. Out of the smoke, a figure emerges, dragging two limp bodies behind it by their arms. The figure stops on the ramp, obscured by the smoke, and lets go of the bodies. The figure stands there, motionless, staring at MsChif. The smoke clears… and it’s Roxxi, in heavy voodoo makeup and her old black clothing. The two bodies are Daizee Haze and Portia Perez, unconscious and not moving.

Roxxi slowly walks to the ring. MsChif paces back and forth, changing expressions every other second, snickering to herself. Roxxi climbs onto the apron and crawls under the bottom rope into the ring. She stands up and looks at MsChif, motionless and expressionless.

North American Championship Match

MsChif goes for a lariat, Roxxi ducks under it and hooks MsChif’s arm, gets back to back, hooks MsChif’s legs, and gets her across her back in something of an Accordion Rack. MsChif screams in pain and rage, trying to get free. After a minute, Roxxi lets go, dropping MsChif to the mat. Roxxi turns around and pulls MsChif up, and whips her to the ropes.

Lilian: Here is your winner, and still North American Champion, The Voodoo Queen, Roxxi Laveaux!

The lights turn deep red again. Roxxi yanks the belt from the ref’s hands and refuses to let him raise her hand. She puts the belt over her shoulder, and climbs out of the ring. She reaches under it, and pulls out a voodoo doll. She crawls into the ring, doll in hand, and crawls towards MsChif. MsChif opens her eyes, sees the doll, and screams. She quickly backs out of the ring and falls to the floor. Roxxi slowly follows. MsChif gets up and quickly limps up the ramp, where Daizee and Portia are still sprawled.

Suddenly, Daizee and Portia sit up. MsChif stops dead in her tracks. Daizee and Portia stand, and Roxxi comes up behind MsChif. Roxxi shoves MsChif to Portia, who punches MsChif to Daizee, who punches MsChif to Roxxi. Roxxi drops the doll, kicks MsChif’s gut, and hits her with a Voodoo Drop.

Roxxi, Daizee, and Portia face the audience, motionless. Daizee pulls out a microphone, holds it to her mouth, and pauses for a few seconds.

Daizee: …PSYCHE!!!

Daizee and Portia burst out laughing, while Roxxi smiles and nods. The lights return to normal.

Portia: <sings just like the little girl> Ring around the rosie! <laughs some more> Ref! Ref, man, sorry, we promise you can raise her arm next time!

Daizee: <hands on her knees, she’s laughing so hard> <points at MsChif, who is unconscious> The look! The look on your face in there! PRICELESS!

Daizee and Portia, still laughing, walk to the back. Roxxi holds her belt high, waves to the crowd with a smile, and follows them.
