Atlanta, Georgia - State Farm Arena
The pyro went off in a spectacular mini show as the crowd cheered. There were many people bringing signs to the show this time with some reading, "Carmine is Bloody Brilliant","MORE DETONATION!" with a picture of Clancy's logo on it, and "Dario Can Dari-GO", among other signs. The camera, once finished getting the crowd shots, focused onto the commentators.
"Good Evening everyone and welcome BACK to Tuesday Night Turmoil," said Kendrick.
"I'm Patrick Alston."
"And I'm Kendrick West."
"Now, Kendrick, this show is bound to be interesting, we've got the debut match of Ascher Grey who is really an interesting figure for us to see."
"AND, we've got in the main event slot, the official contract signing between Carmine Io and "The Detonator" Nolan Clancy* for their match at Fire in the Sky for the S7W World Heavyweight Championship."
"All that and more tonight, here on Turmoil," said both commentators.
*Knocking On Forbidden Doors - Enigma Plays*
Bryce Vanderfleet walked out doing his entrance.
"The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL. Introducing first, from Denver Colorado, weighing in at 211 pounds, Bryce Vanderfleet."
"Bryce Vanderfleet making his first appearance in singles action tonight after he lost in the main event of the first episode of Turmoil two weeks ago," said Patrick.
"Course, that wasn't his fault they lost, Rhys Hoskins was the one who got pinned by Tracey Pearson. We can't focus on that now though as it's very different from competing in a tag match and a singles match. Who knows? Maybe Vanderfleet is a World Champion level wrestler and we just couldn't see it from his tag match," said Kendrick.
"Speaking from personal experience on that statement?"
"Absolutely not, never even considered getting in the ring, Patrick."
Vanderfleet entered the ring and grabbed a microphone. He spoke in a calm, somewhat deep, but also somewhat feminine voice.
"Good evening. This is the voice of Vanderfleet. In the next few moments, I will take you with me. Into another world of peace and spirit. So I ask of you. Turn off the light. Take a deep breath. And relax. I shall be your guiding light.*" He gave a bit of pause between each sentence. The crowd was a bit confused and didn't really react to what he was saying. He posed once again before his music started fading out.
*Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson Plays*
Evan Windsor came out, very serious in expression, performing his entrance. The crowd cheered
"Evan Windsor, I'm seeing, is looking very focused on this match, Patrick."
"And for good reason. He's taken the pin in both matches he's competed in here on Turmoil. Fairly certain he wants to finally get that knock in the win column and build some momentum to prove his place in this company."
"That's the name of the game and Evan Windsor has shown his skill in the ring, but he's been unable to go anywhere after losing to Carmine Io in the first match on Turmoil and then getting pinned by Dario Pastrnak last week. This can easily be called a must win situation for Evan Windsor."
Windsor entered the ring, did his pose and climbed onto the second rope.
The bell rang to signify the beginning of the match. Vanderfleet ran towards Windsor who leapt off the rope and nailed him with a diving crossbody. He immediately covered him.

2..Kick Out.
Vanderfleet flung Windsor off him and got to his feet. He hit a dropkick sending Windsor into the ropes who rebounded and hit Vanderfleet with a Lou Thesz press. He lifted Vanderfleet up and held him in the powerslam position and drove his knee into his side multiple times, then he hoisted him into a fireman's carry and hit a Samoan Drop. Windsor lifted Vanderfleet up off the ground and slammed him back into the ground with an uranage. Windsor lifted him up and tossed him into the ropes, this time Vanderfleet rebounded and caught Windsor with an arm drag. Windsor sprang to his feet and received another arm drag. Windsor got up once more and was summarily hit with a hurricanrana. Vanderfleet waited for Windsor to get to his knees and hit him with a meteora. Vanderfleet grabbed both legs to initiate a cover.
1..
2..Kick Out.
"Evan Windsor and Bryce Vanderfleet going back and forth on this one," said Patrick.
"Right now it's looking like a push and pull battle, neither man wants another loss, but someone's gonna walk out without any wins to their name." Vanderfleet got up and ran off the ropes, hitting a standing 450 splash. Windsor grabbed Vanderfleet on impact though and got to his feet. He rammed Vanderfleet into the corner, then threw him by the wayside. He wasn't expecting however, for Vanderfleet to roll back quickly enough to roll him into an O'Connor roll pin. Windsor immediately kicked out before any count could be given, pushing Vanderfleet back towards the corner, but he stopped himself before his face could collide with the turnbuckle. He turned around and fell off his feet as Windsor had started the motion for the Back to Zero kick. Vanderfleet was sitting down now pretty much in the corner. Windsor decided to run in and hit a forearm into Vanderfleet's face. Windsor lifted Vanderfleet out of the corner and began a strike combination with chops and body kicks, but Vanderfleet intercepted one of these kicks and rotated into Dragon Screw. He began to apply a heel hook to Windsor.
"Windsor trying to reach the ropes, but Vanderfleet has that heel hook well in place."
"Agreed, Kendrick. Windsor is gonna have to dig-" Patrick was cut off.
*21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson Plays*
Rhys Hoskins walked out onto the stage with a microphone in hand. He cackled loudly into the mic, sounding maniacal in tone with a high pitch in his laugh. He walked down to the ring as he began to speak, his voice actually slightly deep but unhinged in tone.
"HAHAHAHA! OH IT. IS GREAT! To see you Vanderfleet. In THIS RING! OH IT. IS GREAT! But I just wanna see how you do here since you failed us two weeks ago. And I really just nee-" He was cut off as Vanderfleet released the heel hook and exited the ring, staring him down. Hoskins spoke again, this time less unhinged and more monotone in voice, "I understand that this is distracting you from your match. Rest assured that I am not doing this out of anything other than malice." Windsor came from behind Vanderfleet and hit him with a German suplex. He tossed Vanderfleet into the ring who got to his feet as Windsor reentered and hit a dropkick, sending Windsor into the ropes. Windsor rebounded as Vanderfleet assumed he fell out of the ring and turned his back to him. Windsor wound up and hit Vanderfleet with his right leg with a spinning heel kick to the head.
"Back to Zero! He hit it this time! It's over!" Kendrick said as Windsor got into a cover.

The bell rang, but a familiar voice cut in almost immediately.
"Now Windsor, I'm aware you didn't cheat in this match," Kokonoe started. "However, due to interference from Hoskins, this match is restarted as it still benefited you indirectly." Windsor nodded at this while Vanderfleet was out cold, but starting to regain consciousness.
The bell rang again after Vanderfleet slowly got back to his feet. Windsor ran up to him and tried to hit him with a belly to belly release suplex, but Vanderfleet, by some miracle, was able to flip onto his feet before impact. He jumped onto the second rope and attempted a springboard clothesline, but received a high knee to the chin. Windsor pushed Vanderfleet back to the ropes and hit a powerslam off the rebound. He readied up as Vanderfleet started to get back to his feet.
"Maybe now it'll be over and Vanderfleet can get put out of his misery," Patrick said.
Windsor spun and hit another spinning heel kick. He hooked the leg as he covered Vanderfleet.

3.
Windsor's music played as he banged his fists on the ground in celebration, happy that he actually got a win for once. He got up to his feet and celebrated by doing his pose.
"Windsor ends it again with the Back to Zero, despite Kokonoe having to restart the match," said Kendrick.
"Admittedly, Hoskins forced Kokonoe to restart it and at no point was Windsor involved in that. He just was trying to win."
"No shame in that, but you have to wonder what's going through the head of Bryce Vanderfleet after Hoskins ruined his chances of winning, because he was basically out on his feet after the first Back to Zero once the match restarted, so a second one was going to end it for certain."
Windsor helped Vanderfleet up and out of the ring. He walked both of them to the backstage area.
Speaking of the backstage area, the camera cut to it as Hazama Clover was waiting outside Kokonoe's office. He was wearing a purple vest and tie over a black button up tonight, same colored tights as before. He knocked on the door.
"Come in," Kokonoe said from the other side.
"You wished to see me Miss Kokonoe?" Clover asked walking up to her desk.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot that I messaged you before the show to meet with me. Ok, so I had this thought earlier today and it involves you so I needed your opinion on it. We have an important match this Sunday at Fire in the Sky."
"You refer to the World Title match between Carmine Io and Nolan Clancy, I presume?"
"Correct. Glad to see you understand, Clover. Now. I can't just have a champion without a challenger though and I don't want to just have the loser have a rematch at our next big show. So, I've decided to give you a second chance to claim the title."
"On one condition?" Clover asked, knowing that such an opportunity wasn't going to be handed out for free.
"On one condition, yes. You will get to compete at Fire in the Sky for the Number One Contendership," Kokonoe said with a smirk on her face.
"That sounds quite lovely. However, if I am to compete, I must know my opponent. I would like to be able to prepare for such an important match with some semblance of an idea of what to expect. Who is it that I must compete against?" Clover asked again.
"I guess since it's an important match, I guess I can tell you. You made it to the semifinals of the tournament. This match can be considered a reward for getting that far. That answer your question?" Kokonoe asked somewhat cheekily, as much as could be heard from her standard tone of voice.
"So I am to face AKECHI then," Clover said not as a question, but more as a deduction.
"Yep. It'll be you and AKECHI facing off at Fire in the Sky in a Number One Contenders match. But since you want to know what to expect, you'll both get to face off tonight. Not one on one mind you. You'll be teaming against AKECHI, Tracey Pearson, and General Brooks with Dario Pastrnak and Stephan Kriggs as your teammates tonight."
"I do not enjoy being on a team with Pastrnak, but if I must, then so it shall be. Perhaps this situation will be most," He paused for a moment before finishing, "intriguing."
"Just get out there and wrestle, that's what you're paid for," Kokonoe said, not paying a lot of attention to anything other than Clover saying he'd wrestle. She got his attention as he began walking out the door, "Leave the door open, would you? I've got another person due for a meeting right now." Clover nodded and left. Rhys Hoskins walked in through the door, looking lackadaisical, hands behind his head.
"Hello, Miss Kokes, how're you doing tonight?" He asked not understanding why he was here.
"Shut the hell up, Hoskins, you know why you're here. You interfered in a match you weren't scheduled to be in," Kokonoe said, chewing him out.
"Look, I just wanted to send a message, is that so bad?" He asked and descended into laughter at the end of the question.
"I understand you have a mood swing condition or whatever, but you need to understand that if you try to interfere with what I plan on doing on MY SHOW, then you best believe that there will be consequences."
"What are you talking about? As far as I'm concerned, I'm just taking care of a mistake in judgement that I made a couple weeks ago." He laughed again with a maniacal grin.
"Well trying to interfere with someone else's match was a mistake in judgement for you. So I hope you enjoy facing Ascher Grey tonight." Hoskins' smile dropped. Kokonoe continued, "Don't give me that look, you absolutely deserve this. It's called karma. Now get out of my office, because your match? It's next. So have fun." Kokonoe waved goodbye, smirking, to Hoskins as he walked out the door.
The camera cut back to Kendrick and Patrick.
"Well, I guess we have two more matches on the docket tonight," said Kendrick.
"Yep. It'll be Ascher Grey facing Rhys Hoskins in his debut right now AND we'll have the team of Tracey Pearson, General Brooks, and AKECHI facing the team of Stephan Kriggs, Dario Pastrnak, and Hazama Clover later on in the show."
The display changed to show Ascher Grey and Rhys Hoskins. Ascher Grey was listed at being 6'3. He had gold eyes and brown hair. His skin color was actually definable now that he was shown without a sepia filter over him as not at all definable other than simply, light brown*. Grey was wearing a light brown longcoat with gears embossed into the backside of it, similarly colored tights with a similar gear motif, but on the left side were the words "Do Entertain Me", also embossed into the tights, and dark brown boots with white accents.
"I'm really interested in the peculiar aura of Ascher Grey, very little is known about this man. Hell, Ascher Grey might not even be his real name. There's so little to go off of on this man," said Kendrick.
"Speak for yourself, Kendrick. I actually did a little digging into this man's history and managed to find a contact of his. She asked to not have her name mentioned, but she told me, 'Ascher Grey is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He'll be nice to you if you stay on his good side, but cross him and he'll slit your throat. Grey likes to be the neutral point of view and will very rarely take sides in anything unless it directly affects him.' End of quote."
"I'll be honest with you, Patrick, that told me absolutely nothing. I will say though, we do know about his finisher at least. He calls it RadioDead, a lifted inverted DDT followed by a sleeper hold. That's the only thing we know, and that's what Rhys Hoskins needs to worry about."
"Absolutely. Now, onto the action," said Patrick.
*21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson Plays*
Rhys Hoskins made his entrance the same way he had two weeks prior. He was making his way down the ramp, but before the ring announcer* could say his name, he got jumped by Bryce Vanderfleet with a Frankensteiner connecting. Vanderfleet was pummelling and attacking Hoskins down the ramp, and concluded with him Irish whipping Hoskins into the ring post. Hoskins was rolled into the ring where Vanderfleet butterfly hooked him, lifted him into the air, and spun him on his side, ending with his head being planted into the ground via a DDT.
"Open Mind, Vanderfleet hit Hoskins with an Open Mind!" Kendrick said in disbelief.
"Vanderfleet going for eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, soul for a soul, et cetera, et cetera, whatever you wanna call it, he's drawing a line in the sand after Hoskins just cost him his match against Evan Windsor."
Hoskins lay limp on the ground, not moving as the lights began shutting off, section by section. The large screen at the back side of the stage turned to static. The words, "I WILL BE ENTERTAINED" appeared out of it in golden brown lettering. It then shut off, leaving the arena in darkness. There was a sound of static filtering through the arena, but it sounded like a song was fading in.
*Lo/Hi - The Black Keys Plays*
The lights changed to a dusty brown to the point that everything was brown in color. Ascher Grey walked out. He had a cane in hand, chocolate brown in color, which he had across the backside of his neck as he casually walked to the ring.
"The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL. Introducing to the ring, from The Lost Traveler's Cove, weighing in at 0.52 Decibels per Kilogram*, Ascher Grey."
Ascher proceeded into the ring climbing up the ring steps and through the ropes. Hoskins was rattled but on his feet as he saw Ascher point his cane at him as he said, "Do Entertain Me." The lights turned back to normal as Ascher set his cane down in his corner and took off his longcoat.
The bell rang and Hoskins leapt at Ascher for a fly shoulder tackle, but Ascher side stepped away from it. Hoskins got up and leapt at him again, the same move as before. This time, Ascher nailed an uppercut while Hoskins was in midair, right to the jaw. Ascher grabbed his opponent in a front headlock, hooked one of Hoskins' legs, and delivered a fisherman's neckbreaker. Hoskins got to one knee where Ascher grabbed him from behind into a reverse headlock. He decided against going for his finisher just yet, rather trying to see if his opponent had anything to genuinely entertain him with, and went for a backbreaker followed by an elbow drop to the leaned back, but on his feet, adversary of his. Ascher got into a cover.
1..
2..Kick Out.
Ascher sat up out of his pin attempt and turned to look at Hoskins who slowly sat up and looked back at him, unnerved by the debuting competitor's choice to grin at him. Hoskins rushed to his feet while Ascher was only on one knee and he took advantage by kneeing him in the face, sending Ascher to the mat.
"I think Hoskins is a little afraid of Ascher judging by his reaction when he saw Ascher smiling at him when he kicked out," said Patrick.
"I would be scared too if I saw a man who told me to entertain him was smiling at me just for not staying down. Ascher Grey is either a man who enjoys wrestling longer matches, or he's a psychopath or sociopath or whatever the hell the word for it is," Kendrick responded. Hoskins now focused into his calmer state of mind and grabbed Ascher's left leg, he began hitting it with a few elbow drops, before concluding with a dragon screw leg whip. And then another leg whip. And another. And another. And another. And so on and so forth a couple more times, just to be certain that Ascher wouldn't get up quickly. Hoskins began to stomp now on the left arm of Ascher Grey. He then followed up with a leg drop to the arm. Hoskins applied an armbar, but also grabbed hold of the left leg and locked both into one singular hold. Ascher was not reacting too much in pain from this course of events, however. In fact, he was laughing. Hoskins was stunned at the laughter, but kept a firm grip on his submission, keen on weakening a man who he thought had a fragile grip on his sanity at this point.
"Hoskins isn't exactly the most mentally stable man on earth, but if HE is getting unnerved by Ascher Grey's complete ignorance, or possibly lack of acknowledgement, to his own pain, he might need to think of something else to win this match," said Patrick. Hoskins released the hold and switched to applying a figure four leglock. Ascher was still laughing though and slowly flipped onto his stomach, reversing the pressure. Hoskins broke the hold and got to his feet, but was stunned to see that Ascher was getting back to his feet without any issue. Hoskins got wide-eyed and went for a snap suplex, connecting the move easily. Ascher got up without any issue. Hoskins kicked Ascher in the gut, hoisting him up for a powerbomb and slammed him down with force. He deadlifted Ascher up for another one. Repeating the process a few times with a final powerbomb being a sit-out variation so he could get a pin attempt.
1..
2..Kick Out.
Hoskins sprung back onto his feet from the kick out, in complete disbelief. Ascher got up once more and Hoskins leapt up and threw him into the corner head first via a hurricanrana. Hoskins rapidly went to lift his opponent to the top rope and did so without any issue. Ascher was now seated facing the ring where Hoskins hooked him up into position and drove Ascher down into the canvas head first with a vertical brainbuster. Hoskins got into another cover.
1..Kick Out.
"Ascher Grey just kicked out at one after kicking out at two just moments earlier. What is this guy made of?"
"I-I couldn't tell you, Kendrick. I know we're supposed to have the answers here, but I don't know. He just doesn't care about the pain that his body must be in." Ascher got up to see Hoskins running for the ropes where he sprung off the middle rope, ready to hit the Hyde Effect, but Ascher dodged and grabbed Hoskins into a reverse headlock again. He lifted Hoskins up for an inverted suplex and connected. Hoskins turned onto his back to see Ascher crouching down, smiling at him again. Hoskins reacted like any person in that situation would and punched Ascher right in the face with a right hook. He got up and struck Ascher again and again with blows to the head, chops, punches, slaps, headbutts, whatever would stun Ascher just enough to actually give himself an edge in this match as it was starting to wear thin on his psyche. He leapt in a seated position towards Ascher for a sunset flip powerbomb, but Ascher refused to let him finish the move, stopping him at a point where he was in the Alabama slam position. Ascher sent Hoskins down to the mat with no remorse.
"I know Hoskins might have deserved a beating for costing Vanderfleet his match, but this is just too cruel the way Ascher lead him on like this by letting him think he had a chance in this match," Kendrick said with sympathy for Hoskins.
"I agree completely, Ascher has just been toying with him, but now he's getting set up for a lot more pain than I'm sure Vanderfleet was expecting," said Patrick. Ascher helped Hoskins to his feet and hit a basic pumphandle slam. Ascher lifted Hoskins up into position with a reverse headlock, whereby he then hit a clothesline with his left arm onto Hoskins chest and sent Hoskins backfirst onto his knee. He crouched down to Hoskins again who looked up at him to hear him say, "That was actually very entertaining Mr. Hoskins. I do hope we can do this again sometime." He grinned again and lifted him up into the reverse headlock once more. He hoisted Hoskins up into the air and slammed him into the mat with great force that reverberated throughout the arena which was silent, only to begin cheering for Ascher who then applied a sleeper hold to Hoskins. He struggled valiantly for a bit of time before he lost all consciousness.
The bell rang as Ascher had won via submission.
"The RadioDead was locked in and it was all she wrote," said Kendrick.
"Ascher Grey making a statement win over Rhys Hoskins, who was way out of his depth in this match. I don't think anyone expected such a performance here from him. Congratulations on a successful debut.
Ascher got up and grabbed his cane as he planted it into the ground with both hands on it and bowed his head to the audience while his music played and he exited the arena. On the way up the ramp, Bryce Vanderfleet walked by him with a microphone. Vanderfleet entered the ring and looked at Hoskins as he spoke.
"Don't worry, Hoskins. I'm not here to add insult to injury. I got my little bit of revenge on you before your match. I've come to let you know that you will be having a match this Sunday at Fire in the Sky. Kokonoe declared that we need to settle our issues the right way. As such. You and I will face each other in a No Disqualifications match, just so we can have a definitive end to this petty squabble of ours. Until then. Relax. Relax and recover from the hell you were subjected to. I'll see you Sunday."
With that Vanderfleet left the ring as his music played. Hoskins finally looked at him, still on his back and had an expression of understanding. The cameras cut to Patrick and Kendrick.
"Well it's been a fun night so far here in Atlanta, but now we need to discuss our next show," said Patrick.
"Oh yes. Fire in the Sky coming to you live on Pay-Per-View this Sunday from Dallas, Texas. We have some great action then. Bryce Vanderfleet vs. Rhys Hoskins in a No DQ match. Tracey Pearson and General Brooks vs. Dario Pastrnak and Stephan Kriggs for the S7W Tag Team Championships."
"We also have AKECHI vs. Hazama Clover for Number One Contendership for the title that will be contested in a ladder match between Carmine Io and "The Detonator" Nolan Clancy in the main event for the S7W World Heavyweight Championship."
"All this and more this Sunday. But before we continue with tonight's show, a few words from our sponsors."
There actually wasn't any vignette that aired following the usual string of commercials. So once the commercials concluded with the advertisement of Fire in the Sky, the broadcast cut right back to Turmoil.
The broadcast cut in at one of the backstage locker rooms, where Dario Pastrnak and Stephan Kriggs were preparing for their upcoming match tonight.
"Alright, Dario. We've got a match with us facing "Mr. I-Don't-Feel-Like-Talking" AKECHI, "Baseball's Biggest Waste" Tracey Pearson, and "Rock Hard Er-" Dario cut off Kriggs from finishing that sentence.
"I get your point, Kriggs. I understand what we're up against, but I'm more worried about who we have teaming with us. Clover hasn't exactly forgiven me for what I did when we faced off two weeks ago. I do think we'll win, but we need to make sure that Clover doesn't do anything to ME that'll cost us the match."
"You're not worried he'll do something to me?" Kriggs asked incredulously.
"Of course not, you haven't done anything to earn his ire, I HAVE. So we need to focus on that possibility."
"You're not gonna give us the same kind of focus? Not very cool of you to do that." This was a moderately pitched voice, cocky in general overall tone. Both men turned to see Tracey Pearson and General Brooks walking into the locker room. General opened his mouth to speak, but Pearson stopped him.
"Listen bro, I got this. I GOT this." General looked at him, somewhat irritated, but brushed it off for now. Pearson continued, "Listen, you both got to be in the title match because you couldn't handle your own failures in singles wrestling. I'm here to let you know that all that is going by the wayside when General and I climb to the success of earning those tag team championships. That's all we have to say." Both left the locker room without saying anything else.
"Well that was just uncalled for, you don't just speak to the Golden Guns like that," Kriggs said this matter of factly.
"Golden Guns?" Dario asked, understandably confused.
"Our team name. We should be the Golden Guns. You bring the gold, I bring the gun, so together…" Kriggs was holding out the word together, waiting for Dario to finish.
"I'm not ending that sentence. I will say that it fits well enough, but we still need to prepare for our match tonight." Both men got back to preparing in silence
The broadcast shifted back to the commentator's desk.
"Well, it seems that the "Golden Guns" as Kriggs and Dario are now calling themselves are trying to get in the mindset for their match tonight," said Patrick.
"You have to. You absolutely have to. Tonight is an opportunity for both of them to understand what they have to do to beat Tracey Pearson and General Brooks," responded Kendrick.
"Well, in any case, we've got that match in store later tonight. And-"
*Gale/Reppu II from BlazBlue Chronophantasma Plays*
Out walks Hibiki Nishikawa, wearing a red scarf and grey tights and boots tonight. He makes his entrance the same way he did the prior week. He grabs a microphone once he is in the ring and begins to speak.
"GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE! I AM THE HERO OF JUSTICE, HIBIKI NISHIKAWA!" Hibiki yelled. The crowd cheered for the loud man's spiel again, even going so far as to chant "Hi-bi-ki! Hi-bi-ki!" This did not go unnoticed by Nishikawa. He responded, less loudly this time, in fact it was a normal speaking voice.
"Arigatou gozaimasu. Thank you all, so very much, it is touching to see so many hearts burning with a love for JUSTICE the same way mine does," he says, yelling the word justice*. "But to be frank, I didn't come out here for you all, though it is a bonus, I came out here to ask a simple question. Who would like to challenge me tonight? I am THROWING DOWN THE GAUNTLET! THIS is an open challenge."
*Stacked Actors - Foo Fighters Plays*
Gordeau Pierce walks out and into the ring and stares down Nishikawa who speaks once more.
"I vanquished you last Tuesday. Why would you challenge me so soon after this? Especially given the fact that you didn't really get much offense in last week beyond a couple moves."
Gordeau grabbed the microphone from Nishikawa and spoke with a slightly high pitch and a somewhat crass, sarcastic tone.
"Look, I know what happened last week. I understand your skepticism. HOWEVER, I just want to say that in my defense, I wasn't prepared for you. I wasn't prepared for your strength or your skill. This past week, I took some time to actually review some of your matches in Japan. Now that I have a better idea of what to expect. So, let me face you again. I am a man of infamy, and infamy always, ALWAYS, outlasts fame." Nishikawa nods and walks to a corner, accepting Gordeau's challenge. Gordeau walked to the corner opposite Nishikawa.
The bell rang and both men locked up. Unlike last week, Gordeau actually was able to keep Nishikawa from getting an edge and instead forced them both into a corner. The ref applied a 5 count for Gordeau to break the hold who acquiesced at the count of 2, backing off, giving Nishikawa a chance to recover. He went for a leg sweep on Gordeau who leapt it and grabbed Nishikawa for a belly to back release suplex. Nishikawa got up and was hit with a big boot, but rolled backwards back onto his feet and ran for a clothesline. Gordeau, by virtue of being better prepared, grabbed Nishikawa and swung him around with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. He kept grip on Nishikawa and hit him with a clothesline while he was still balanced on his knee.
"Gordeau having a much better showing already compared to last week, Nishikawa is doing awful to start this match," said Kendrick.
"I wouldn't go selling Nishikawa short juuuuust yet. Gordeau is clearly better prepared, but Nishikawa has an experience edge on him, by a solid margin too. Let's see where this goes before we jump to any conclusions," Patrick responded. Gordeau still kept his grip on his opponent, pushing him off his knee and back to his feet. Nishikawa was stunned and Gordeau came from behind and grabbed him running both of them to a corner and slamming Nishikawa's face into the top turnbuckle. He kept his opponent on his feet, only to kick him in the back of the leg, bringing him down to one knee, facing the corner. Gordeau ran to the opposite corner, did a little step and leap with one foot off the middle turnbuckle, and ran back, sliding under the bottom rope, and while sliding, grabbed and bulldogged Nishikawa's head into the bottom turnbuckle*. He ran and slid back into the ring to get a cover on him.
1..
2..Kick Out.
Gordeau looked at his fallen opponent and brought him up in a reverse headlock, lifting him up, and slamming him into the ground with a falcon arrow. He stayed on him for another pin attempt.
1..
2..Kick Out.
Gordeau lifted Nishikawa up again and threw him towards the ropes and grabbed him off the rebound into a spinning side slam. Gordeau wasn't done yet as he hit Nishikawa with a deadlift gutwrench suplex. He got into another cover.
1..
2..Kick Out.
Gordeau lifted Nishikawa up again. This time he got behind Nishikawa and, having his back turned to him, hooked both arms and elevated him off the ground. He lifted Nishikawa off the ground as Nishikawa's legs ended up hooking around his waist.
"This move right here, the Gory Special, invented by Gory Guerrero in Mexico way back in the mid-20th century. Devastating maneuver as it puts a lot of pressure on the opponents back," said Patrick.
"You've definitely done your homework on your history of wrestling moves, Patrick. I gotta say though Nishikawa, to your point of the pressure on the back, must be in a good deal of pain right now." Nishikawa was absolutely in pain at the moment, the struggle he was feeling evident on his face. He slowly began trying to fight out of the hold, though Gordeau wasn't making it easy by any stretch of the imagination. However, Nishikawa was able to get his feet back onto the canvas and unhooked his arms as fast as he possibly could and, just as quickly, hit Gordeau with a sit-out neckbreaker. Gordeau and Nishikawa both got to their feet quickly where Gordeau was intercepted on a running elbow move with a dropkick. Gordeau rebounded into the ropes and Nishikawa ran towards him as well where he connected with a sleeper slam. He got into a pin attempt.
1..Kick Out.
"You think Gordeau kicked out easily because Nishikawa is kinda hurt at this point?"
"I don't have to even entertain that question. I KNOW that Nishikawa is hurt and that it absolutely had to affect how much power could be put into those moves of his," said Patrick with confidence. Nishikawa watched as Gordeau got back to his feet and he got nailed in the stomach with a kick as he got hoisted into the air for a powerbomb. Nishikawa managed to avoid getting slammed into the ground as he countered with a hurricanrana, sending Gordeau into the ropes, ready for a move of any kind, such as a Tiger Feint Kick*. Nishikawa didn't do this move though, but he did go through the ropes whereby he held his opponent in place while he hit a couple knees the the head and finished his attack by going back, getting a running start on the apron, and delivered a neckbreaker by leaping over Gordeau as he grabbed him to hit it. Gordeau slingshot back into the ring, landing on his back. Nishikawa ran to the nearest corner and climbed to the top rope. He dove off it and front flipped as he did so, hitting his opponent with a 450 splash, and he hooked the leg after connecting for a pin attempt.

2..Kick Out.
Nishikawa got up and readied himself as Gordeau made his way to his feet. He was hoisted into a fireman's carry.
"It looks like it might be ending the same way as last week, Gordeau getting hit with the Revenger," said Kendrick. But Gordeau disagreed, despite the fact that the ring was not close to the commentator's table and therefore not within earshot, and he escaped by elbowing Nishikawa in the head and sliding down behind him. He then hit his opponent with a Full Nelson Bomb. He grabbed Nishikawa by the head to speak to him, saying, "You got me last week, but I learned what you can do, so I've learned what I need to do to win now." Gordeau dragged Nishikawa to his feet where he then tossed him to the ropes and grabbed Nishikawa into a powerslam position again, spinning back for the Récolte. Nishikawa worked with the spin and reversed the move into a small package pin by forcing his weight away from Gordeau.

The bell rang as Nishikawa's music played as he slid off of Gordeau who sat up in shock. He looked at Nishikawa who said to him, "You may have learned what you need to do to win. Now you need to learn how to do it." Gordeau looked down in shame, but Nishikawa got to his feet and reached out his hand. Gordeau relented and accepted his hand as he was helped to his feet. Nishikawa raised Gordeau's arm in a display of sportsmanship.
"Gordeau was right when he said he knew more of how to fight Nishikawa, but Nishikawa is a veteran of this business and was able to take advantage of the situation."
"That's right, Patrick. Hibiki Nishikawa was able to find a way to keep himself in this match long enough for him to get an opening and roll Gordeau up for the victory."
Gordeau raised Nishikawa's arm in victory in return, head down and his free hand pointing to him. Both men exited the ring together as Gordeau and Nishikawa helped each other to the back.
The camera remained fixed on the stage as music began playing.
*Jaeger from BlazBlue Central Fiction Plays*
AKECHI made his way out onto the stage and down to the ring. Once again not interacting or posing or anything. Just a serious expression.
"The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL. On his way to the ring, from Fukuoka, Japan, weighing in at 271 pounds, AKECHI."
"AKECHI focused here tonight, and he's got a match with Hazama Clover Sunday at Fire in the Sky for Number One Contendership to our World Heavyweight Title," said Kendrick.
"He has received word about this, though he didn't respond, he never does. In any case, this match is crucial for momentum heading into Sunday AND figuring out a strategy for facing Clover," said Patrick.
AKECHI climbed into the ring walked to one corner and waited for his partners to arrive.
*Howlin' For You - The Black Keys Plays*
Tracey Pearson ran onto the stage and stopped by leaping and putting weight on his heels. He did his motion before his music cut into another song.
*Motor Head from BlazBlue Calamity Trigger Plays*
General Brooks walked onto the stage up to Pearson and crossed his arms. General and Pearson both walked down to the ring, making their respective entrances.
"And his tag team partners, Tracey Pearson and "The Stoneheart" General Brooks."
"Tracey Pearson and General Brooks coming into this match with just as much focus, Patrick. They've got a date with Dario Pastrnak and Stephan Kriggs for the tag titles on Sunday."
"It's gonna be fun to see, Kendrick, but tonight they've got some help in the wing with AKECHI and some extra competition with Clover."
Both men entered the ring together and concluded their entrance with their poses as their music faded out.
*Loose Change - Royal Blood Plays*
Both Dario Pastrnak and Stephan Kriggs walked out together. They high fived and then did their respective poses. They both held finger guns out to the audience with one arm each, Kriggs with his right, Dario with his left. They proceeded down the ramp.
"And introducing their opponents. First, the team of Stephan Kriggs and "Golden Judgement" Dario Pastrnak. The Golden Guns."
"They christened themselves The Golden Guns earlier tonight and given their performance in their tag team debut last week against Evan Windsor and King Lokesh, they are absolutely standing a good chance Sunday to win," said Patrick.
"Pearson and General aren't just gonna lay down for them though. I'm gonna predict right now that it'll be a close match Sunday. These teams are gonna be in for a fight so this is the best time to gauge and analyze."
The Golden Guns entered the ring and started taunting Pearson and General, before they stood back to back, looking at the hard cam, and pointed finger guns at the camera and fired. They then went to a corner opposite of their opponents.
*Gluttony Fang II from BlazBlue Chronophantasma Plays*
Out walked Hazama Clover who did his standard entrance, now with the little spin he added. He did his pose as he looked out to the audience before continuing on his way to the ring.
"And their partner, from Virginia Beach, Virginia, weighing in at 239 pounds, Hazama Clover."
"Hazama Clover got given a chance to get himself a title shot by Kokonoe. The catch being that he'd have to face AKECHI who also got to the semifinals before falling to Carmine Io, while Clover fell to Nolan Clancy," said Kendrick.
"He's got that second chance, but so has AKECHI. If I'm Clover, I'd want to make sure I avoid facing him as much as possible in this match so I won't need to worry about being hurt for such an important match."
"Clover may not always be the nicest, but he is a man of honor, so I doubt he'll back down so easily tonight. I do agree that he needs to focus on staying in good condition, but the bigger issue is how well he'll work with Dario Pastrnak tonight after their match on the first episode of Turmoil. We'll see what happens."
Clover got into the ring and did his pose again. He looked at the field, first his partners, then his opponents. The music faded out as both teams decided who would start the match.
The bell rang as Dario and General both remained in the ring. Clover in the meanwhile began removing his jacket, shirt, and tie. Dario extends his hand out to General, only for General to shoulder tackle him to the ground, not too keen on anything other than hurting him. General then began to attack Dario while he was on the ground, first by leaping onto Dario's stomach with a double stomp, then continued with a couple elbows, one normal elbow and one jumping elbow, both to the stomach, and finally a knee drop directly on Dario's face. General tried to get a cover right then and there, but Dario was struggling enough to avoid General being able to keep him down for even a one count. Dario was now on his stomach as General applied a waistlock from behind and lifted him to his feet. He was struggling to keep his grip on the blonde man though as he was attempting to tag in Stephan Kriggs, not even glancing to Clover. He managed to free himself of the waistlock before General could do anything and tagged in Kriggs. The Golden Guns decided to team up on General. Both men nailed the larger man with a few strikes and chops before putting him in a side headlock and hitting a double DDT. Tracey Pearson entered the ring to help his tag team partner as they began exchanging blows with The Golden Guns.
"This match starting off kind of even at the moment, but I get the feeling this one might be a bit before any decisive end can happen at this pace," said Kendrick astutely. Pearson and General push Kriggs away as they nail Dario with a double spinebuster at which point Kriggs runs back and hits Pearson with a sunset flip powerbomb, with Pearson rolling onto his knees after the impact, and eating a dropkick to the face from Kriggs. General locks Kriggs into a half-nelson for a suplex, but Kriggs flips onto his feet before he can make impact on the mat. He dropkicks General back into his corner where AKECHI tagged himself into the match. Kriggs went wide eyed and ran to his corner, tagging Clover in. Clover and AKECHI walked to the center of the ring and stared each other down. While this happened, Pearson was brawling with Kriggs now and Dario was brawling with General, all four of them still in the ring while Clover and AKECHI maintained their stares at each other. The crowd saw this and cheered in awe. Clover and AKECHI began engaging in a spot where the both of them gave this other the stiffest possible chops that they could manage and tried their best to not even flinch or wince in pain when connecting with the chops. Pearson attempted to help AKECHI only for Clover to send him to the ground with a European uppercut. Kriggs tried to do the same for Clover, but was met with resistance as AKECHI drilled him with a high knee. Both of them resumed their chops to each other.
"Clover and AKECHI both wanting to assert themselves here without any help," said Patrick.
"It's that honor that Clover has, Patrick, AKECHI as well. Both trained in Japan, both picked up the Strong Style, both learned that the only way to prove yourself to be better than another is to definitively beat them in the ring. Only difference is that, while AKECHI was brought up and trained with these teachings, Clover came into Japan a couple years into his career and had to learn on the fly of how to make his mark in Japanese wrestling," said Kendrick. As he said this both men had stopped chopping and began attempting wrestling maneuvers and both being unable to hit them, Clover went for a neckbreaker, but AKECHI rotated out of it. AKECHI went for a suplex, but Clover fell back onto his feet behind him. Clover went for a Dragon suplex, but AKECHI broke his arms out and turned to face him. Neither man was able to hit any moves on the other. Dario and Kriggs came in and lifted AKECHI up for a double suplex. Kriggs grabbed the legs of AKECHI and fell back, catapulting him into a high knee from Dario. General ran into the ring and grabbed Dario into a side headlock lifting him into the air before dropping him with a vertical brainbuster. General rolled over, maintaining his grip, and lifted Dario into the air again for another brainbuster, but Kriggs stopped it by nailing General with a superkick, causing him to loosen his grip enough for Dario to get down to his feet.
"General, unable to finish the Stone Free triple brainbuster maneuver. Kriggs able to stop "The Stoneheart" from likely removing his partner from the match equation," said Patrick. In the midst of the chaos between the men not currently legal in the match, Clover grabbed AKECHI, who had gotten back to his feet but was facing away from Clover, and nailed him with a tiger suplex, then brought him back to his feet, wrapped the arms, and lifted AKECHI for an elevated straightjacket DDT. He got into the first actual pin attempt of the match.

2..Kick Out.
AKECHI shoved Clover off him with force and got to his feet. He kicked Clover's leg out from under him and, as Clover was down onto one knee AKECHI ran to the ropes and rebounded off them to nail Clover with a penalty kick. Clover fell, but slowly got onto one knee again where AKECHI hit him with another running penalty kick. AKECHI lifted Clover to his feet and got him into a fireman's carry before hitting Clover with an Ushigoroshi who upon impact came up into a seated position after landing, and got hit with a third running penalty kick from AKECHI. AKECHI got into a cover of his own.

Dario and Kriggs got into the ring from their continued brawl* with Pearson and General to break up the pin. This infuriated AKECHI who decided to end Kriggs entire life, taking him down with a standard wrestling takedown and then punch him in the head for about twenty seconds straight. He lifted Kriggs up with a butterfly hook and lifted him up for Under Heaven Destruction sending him down onto his knees with force. Kriggs rolled out of the ring. General Brooks ran in to take care of Dario, but Clover, who had slowly gotten to his feet in the meantime, intercepted him with a dropkick followed by Dario managing to lift General into an Alabama slam position and hitting him with an AU. General then rolled out of the ring. Dario then looked at Clover and tilted his head quickly at AKECHI. Clover shook his head in disapproval, he wanted to end it without Dario's help. Dario nodded in understanding and went to his corner to wait for a possible tag. AKECHI rushed towards Clover with a clothesline, but Clover ducked and then hit AKECHI with an enzuigiri sending him into his corner. Pearson climbed to the ring apron and tagged himself in while Clover was in the process of setting up for a tornado DDT, not noticing the tag. Clover hit his DDT on AKECHI only to receive a side suplex from Pearson. Clover was closer to his corner now, but not close enough for Dario to tag in. Pearson got into a pitching stance, ready for his finisher.
"Pearson, about to take the credit for another win in a match he didn't really compete in until the end," said Kendrick, irritated at Pearson doing the same thing he did on the first Turmoil.
"Yeah, but the Knuckleball is gonna end this match right now," said Patrick. Dario entered the ring and helped Clover up. Clover then pushed Dario towards Pearson who, on instinct, hit him with the Knuckleball. Clover then grabbed Pearson and hit him with a small package driver, locking him into a pin on impact.

2..Kick Out.
Pearson kicked out and got to his knees, but Clover remained on the attack, nailing him with a snap DDT, sending Pearson onto the canvas, face down. Clover began doing his taunt.
"It looks like Pearson may have invoked the wrath of a serpent in Clover," said Kendrick. Clover then began stomping away on the back of Pearson's head before lifting him up to a kneeling position where he then walked past him, then ran back and drilled him with a superkick to the head, better known as…
"The Serpent's Infernal Rapture, it hurts everytime I look at it, Kendrick. What a brutal move." Clover got into a pin.

The bell rang as Clover got to his feet and did his pose. Dario entered the ring and began questioning him asking, "Why did you push me in his finisher?". Clover looked at him and said plainly, "You did something similar to him last week," gesturing to Kriggs who was outside the ring as he said this, "Consider this me accepting your apology from last week." Clover patted Dario on the shoulder while Kriggs entered the ring. All three of them celebrated their win, reluctantly with Clover in Dario's case.
"The winners of this match, the team of Dario Pastrnak and Stephan Kriggs, "The Golden Guns", and Hazama Clover."
"Dario getting a taste of irony from Clover, but they got the win and some needed momentum heading into Sunday," said Patrick.
"And Clover and AKECHI look like their match will be them going to war for the number one contendership. While The Golden Guns look to earn the inaugural S7W Tag Team Championships against Tracey Pearson and General Brooks. It's gonna be great," responded Kendrick.
The Golden Guns exited the ring and continued celebrating their win on their way out to the crowd's boos. Clover instead looked at AKECHI who was climbing into the ring. Both men faced each other for a bit before AKECHI extended his hand to Clover, who accepted it. Both men continued staring each other down during the handshake before both men took to leave the ring, with Clover heading up the ramp*. The broadcast cut to Kendrick and Patrick.
"Well that was a great final match of our show, but we've still got more to come," said Patrick.
"That's right, Patrick. We have the contract signing between Carmine Io and "The Detonator" Nolan Clancy. But that'll have to wait until after the commercial break. Stay tuned," said Kendrick as the broadcast cut to black.
The commercials passed by with aimless garbage and meaningless words. The broadcast came back soon enough, but it came in with static, not the Ascher Grey kind either. It showed three figures sitting at a circular table in an otherwise empty plain white room. They were all wearing t-shirts, jeans, and sneakers, very casual in clothing. What wasn't casual clothing though, were the skull masks they were wearing. One on the right was designed to look like a mask for Dia de los Meurtos. Another on the left was designed to look like the skull of a demonic creature. The third and center one was designed to look like a regular skull, but with antlers coming out of it, resembling that of a Wendigo*. Each of them spoke in unison, making it impossible to tell who was who, especially since the voices were distorted immensely, but they didn't sound malicious in tone, instead sounding ominous.
"The hunt begins. In time, all will become victims of it. The hunt consumes all. It beckons to us, like a guiding light. A golden light. With it, all see it to be a way to declare themselves kings among men. We seek to become the leaders of this hunt. For glory. For gold. For honor. For power. We are the only ones strong enough to find this truth. And so, we shall."
The camera fritzed up for a moment, showing the room in all black, lit by candles on the walls and the table. All three men were still sitting, though now blood was on their hands and masks. The camera kept cutting between these shots for a few seconds before cutting out in static.
The broadcast resumed focusing on the stage as music began playing.
*Science Fiction from BlazBlue Chronophantasma Plays*
Out walked Kokonoe who casually strolled to the ring, climbed up the steps, and entered the ring. The ring had a dark red canvas now with a wooden desk in the center and two chairs on opposite sides of the desk. There was a contract on it with a pen to sign with. Above the ring was the S7W World Heavyweight Championship. Kokonoe grabbed a microphone while the Atlanta crowd cheered for her as she began to speak.
"Thank you all for coming out this evening. You know me as the owner of this company by this point and am responsible for much of what happens here in this ring. One of those responsibilities is my presence in presiding over and finalizing any contracts that need to be signed. Including this one." She held up the contract for the camera and continued. "Of course, I can't finalize this contract until it's been signed by the competitors. So if Nolan Clancy and Carmine Io could come down to the ring now, it is now the time to do so."
*All These Things I Hate - Bullet For My Valentine Plays*
Carmine Io walked out wearing his hoodie, but he had jeans and sneakers, both all black, on instead of tights and boots. The crowd chanted "Edgelord." at him again just as they had the previous week. He didn't flip them off this time as he entered the ring. He took one of the seats, flipped it around so the back was facing the desk and sat down facing the desk. His music faded.
*Sunday Rain - Foo Fighters Plays*
Nolan Clancy walked out with a t-shirt displaying his logo and red athletic shorts with brown sandals on. He made his entrance before eventually sitting in the chair facing Carmine once he entered the ring. The crowd cheered for him during this. Kokonoe stook to standing at a spot beside the desk, in between both men. Carmine and Clancy were both handed mics.
"Ok gentlemen. As you are aware, you both will be main eventing Fire in the Sky this Sunday. I trust you both know the terms of this match?" Kokonoe asked.
"I understand Miss Kokonoe. Carmine and I will be fighting in a ladder match for the S7W World Heavyweight Championship," said Clancy.
"Yeah. Don't worry about worthless things like match stipulation though. All that changes is how I'm going to win that title." Carmine spun his chair back around and leaned over the desk. "Clancy, I want you to be aware of how worthless your attempts will be. I'm going to break you bit by bit, break each of your bones, and ensure that I'M the one who'll be on top of the mountain. When I get to the top of that mountain, I don't EVER plan on climbing down."
"If that is the case, then I guess that if you won't climb down yourself, I'll drag you down by force. You may be skilled, but you aren't a flawless wrestler. You have a weakness somewhere, every wrestler does, and I don't intend to just find it. I'm going to Blow. It. Up. I'm gonna find what makes you reaaally tick in that match. Believe me when I say that no matter how good you may be in the ring, I'll still find a way to outmatch you."
Carmine stood up and glowered down at Clancy now. "Believe you? Believe? Y'know Clancy the worst thing about believing is the lie inside of it. Believing means going on without any basis to support your claims. BELIEVING means waking up in the morning, wondering to yourself, 'Why? Why am I not able to get what I want? Oh right, I just didn't believe enough in myself to get it done.' BULLSHIT! BELIEVING is an excuse that people make when they can't just say to themselves, 'I didn't try' or 'I didn't think I could do it.' Believing makes excuses, and excuses are simply lies to oneself. Excuses are worthless. BELIEVING IS WORTHLESS! BELIEVING IS WHAT EVERYONE SAYS SO THEY CAN PUT THEMSELVES AT EASE AND NOT HAVE TO BLAME THEMSELVES FOR THEIR OWN FAILURES! IT'S WORTHLESS! WORTHLESS WORTHLE-" Clancy cut him off.
"I understand that you think of it as worthless as you are sooooo fond of saying. But frankly, that's not my concern. My only concern is winning that title. I'm not going to play your games, Carmine. I just want to win that belt. I don't care if we fight until dawn on Sunday, but I'm not going to give you what you want and feed into your little spiel. One of us is walking out Sunday as the first champion. It will be me and I will end this little game you're playing." Clancy signed the contract right then and there and got up to walk out of the ring. Carmine got up to do something, but Kokonoe stopped him. She also stopped Clancy from exiting the ring.
"I understand you're angry, and while I understand that most contract signings end in chaos Carmine, I want the first one on Turmoil to go peacefully. I need the both of you at your best since Sunday is a very important night in shaping your legacies. It wouldn't be good of you to tarnish them so soon here in S7W by trying to hurt your opponent before then, said Kokonoe who looked at Carmine smugly.
"Fine. I'll sign your worthless contract, Kokonoe. Mark my words though. WHEN I get that belt, I gonna be running this whole show and there'll be nothing you can do to stop me." Carmine signed the contract and looked Clancy in the eyes upon completion. "Remember Clancy. Everything in this world is WORTHLESS. Just. Like. You." The crowd booed as both men stared each other down. Kokonoe was signing the contract to make it official in the background.
"All right then. You both are now the official main event on Sunday. Just. Don't kill each other too much out there." Kokonoe exited the ring as Clancy and Carmine stared each other down.
"It looks like Kokonoe wants to build as much tension for this match, which you'll only get to see on Pay-Per-View this Sunday. S7W Fire in the Sky is going to be the place for us to watch how everything ends."
"Not just how it ends, Kendrick. How everything in this company truly begins as champions will be crowned. But until then. I'm Patrick Alston.
"And I'm Kendrick West."
"And we'll see you Sunday at Fire in the Sky," both said in unison.
The broadcast concluded with both Carmine and Clancy staring down before looking up at the championship belt. The final shot showing the championship as it hung above the ring.
Note Points
*Kokonoe wants the people set to main event a Pay-Per-View to be rested so the match is better, which based on last week, absolutely necessary.
*Modified from the lyrics of "The Voice Of Enigma", I thought it'd fit the character. Also his music doesn't stop but it just lowers in volume for him, it's Enigma so it's not like he's interrupting the lyrics. At least not in his theme.
*Ambiguously Brown is the trope name for all you who frequent TV Tropes like I do.
*I forgot to name him, so we'll call him Emille Quinn.
*Average Decibel amount for a person speaking normally is between 50 and 65. In the middle is 57.5. Divide that by 110 and you get 0.52. Ascher is 110 Kilograms or 242 pounds. He's measuring the amount of decibels created by each kilo of him. Don't ask why. It's not a good thing or a bad thing. It's just a thing.
*If a word is capitalized and Nishikawa is speaking, he's yelling it, it's not just emphasis being used like I mean when others have a word capitalized when they speak.
*I've seen Taiji Ishimori do suplexes in a similar fashion so this seems very possible for a wrestler to do.
*The kick Rey Mysterio does for the 619. I want to avoid using names of moves other than the actual name for the move as a whole rather than the most popular name of the move.
*They've basically just nonstop been fighting Pearson and General the entire time, none of them have been on the apron since AKECHI and Clover got in the ring.
*Winners go up the ramp. Losers take an alternate path alongside the ramp to backstage.
*Horrifying creature first conceptualized by Native Americans. It follows the idea that if a man is to eat the flesh of other men, eventually they become a Wendigo. It was often seen as a symbol of greed and famine in those cultures.
