We’re back from commercial, and Senecca Payne is standing in the ring, microphone in hand.
Senecca: Well, well, well... Look what daddy brought home... The one thing I've never lost...
Phoenix: That's The Universal Championship! The last man to hold that was Mark Redman so what does he mean he never lost it?
Jeffery: He technically never did. We go through so many management changes that he never lost, they simply put the belt on Belly then vacated it and put it on Redman...
Senecca: I've carried this title for over four years and have gone unrecognized as the longest reigning champion in 4CW's ever changing, complicated history... until tonight...
Phoenix: What does he mean?
Senecca: Tonight, in front of everyone in this arena... you are witnessing the first man in this new era of 4CW to be proclaimed as champion... Witness the rebirth of your past... future... and current reigning 4CW Universal Champion... Senecca!
The match begins with Tom Foolery dodging Senecca. The Big Man tries to grab the newcomer, but Foolery ducks and dodges. Senecca realises he needs to put Foolery down quickly, so tries to smack him down with a clothesline. But again, the smaller man dodges and ducks under Senecca’s arms.
Foolery, stood behind Senecca, kicks and stomps on the back of the veteran’s knee. This causes Senecca to fall down to one knee. Foolery grabs the back of Senecca’d head, and leaps forwards for a bulldog. But the wily veteran is a step ahead! Senecca holds firm, and Foolery slides ahead, crashing into the mat.
Senecca smiles, knowing he’s all his. Like lighting, he leaps to his feet and comes crashing down with an all-mighty splash, squashing Foolery. He heaves him up to his feet, and hits a devastating German suplex.
A very groggy Tom Foolery is pulled to his feet, only to be Irish Whipped by Senecca into the ropes. Foolery is caught, and Senecca ends the match with a piledriver.
1-2-3
Phoenix: And just like that, Senecca shows why he’s not a man to be messed with.
Roberts: He’s a veteran. He’s a multi-time champion. He’s a Hall of Famer. Senecca knows that ring like the back of his hand, and knows all the tricks in the book. And tonight, he showed it.
Phoenix: Well folks, it’s time for the latest round of the Soul Survivor tournament.
Jeffrey: I will admit to being a bit curious about this match, but only because it promises to see people hurt. And that’s something I can enjoy.
We cut back to the ring and the lights start to flash and some ominous music as the Survival Chamber is lowered to the ring. It is a large, circular steel chain chamber with metal beams and supports turning it into a dome. On each side of the outside area of the chamber are big crates. They are shut but each are labelled, "Kitchen", "Garden", "Dojo", "Arena". Once the chamber is in place the referee opens the door to allow the competitors to enter.
Carson: The following Survival Chamber match is scheduled for one fall and is the third round of the Soul Survivor Tournament. The four remaining survivors will enter the Survival Chamber. Once the bell rings, anything found inside the chamber is legal. There will be no pinfalls. No countouts. No disqualifications. The only way to win this match is via submission. The first person to submit their opponent will be the winner and choose the next round's stipulation. The person who submits will be eliminated from Soul Survivor!
"Narcissistic Cannibal" by Korn hits the PA system and out comes to the stage, a welsh flag draped across his shoulder, "The Bruiser" Rhys Cain.
Carson: Introducing first, now residing in Tampa, Florida, weighing in at 220lbs, "THE BRUUUISER" RHYS CAIN!!
Cain looks down the ramp at the chamber, takes a deep breath, drops the flag on the stage and walks down briskly to the ring.
Phoenix: This match was chosen and invented by Rhys Cain. We all know of his hardcore background. This is, even more so than in Paige's Moonlight Massacre, his specialty and he won that match so he must surely be the favourite for this one!
Jeffrey: You're forgetting one thing, Scott, and that's Cain has to submit someone to win. I know he's no stranger to that - but there's two guys in there who are mammoths compared to him and they are going to be hard to submit - and I'd like to see the guy who messes with Paige and comes out of it unharmed.
Roberts: Of course, there is one big wildcard here - in the form of those four crates. We can see their labels, but we have no idea what's actually inside them!
Cain walks up the small ramp into the chamber and steps on to the platform inside the chamber that is level with the ring mat. He looks around and smirks before entering the ring.
"Wherever I May Roam" by Yashin hits the PA next as lights are lowered until music drops, then as music punches back up pyros go off and a video package showing Brian White strength and abilities shows interspersed with a steam train running at full tilt along it's tracks.
Carson: And his opponents, first on his way to the ring, from Barry, South Wales, weighing in at 320lbs, BRIAN "THE FREIGHT TRAAAAAAAIN" WHITE!!
Jeffrey: This is one of those big guys Cain is gonna have trouble trying to submit! He's a behemoth!
Brian White makes his entrance, ignoring the chamber completely and just staring at Cain through the steel mesh. He ignores the crowed as he deliberately walks to the ring, entering the chamber, stepping over the ropes, and the music fades.
The lights dim and "The Astral Dialogue" by Agalloch blares, as a thick layer of purple fog envelopes the stage. Paige appears through the fog, wearing a black leather jacket over her usual ring attire.
Carson: Making her way to the ring, hailing from Newfoundland, Canada but now residing on... The DAAARK side of the MOOOON... weighing in at 143 pounds... PILGRIIIM PAIIIGE!
Phoenix: Paige has been one of the more successful competitors and has to be the second favourite to win this match!
After a brief scan of her surroundings, the song's beat picks up with a growling vocalization and she takes off running to the ring, running up the ramp and into the chamber, sliding in under the bottom rope and arising. After removing her jacket and tossing it to ringside, she walks to the middle of the ring. Paige spreads her arms wide and draws back her head, screaming aloud and turning in a circular motion while a burst of purple pyro shoots from each corner post. The lights return to normal as she removes her Trans Pride necklace, sets it aside and commences running the ropes in preparation for the match.
The lights dim and two spotlights appear on stage with a rusty brown looking tint taking over the rest of the arena. Those spotlights come up one by one as the first couple rifts of “With A Little Help From My Friends” by Joe Cocker start up, revealing them to be occupied by none other than Tom Foolery and Bally Hoo...Debauchery! Foolery starts off by absurdly lip syncing alone as if he were speaking to the crowd…
“What would you think if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song...
And I'll try not to sing out of key…”
Carson: ...next, making his way to the ring, accompanied by his tag partner Tom Foolery, from New Jack City, weighing in at 296lbs, BAAAALLY HOOOOOO!!
Roberts: Bally Hoo cut it fine last week but survived. He needs a stronger showing to survive this week!
The rest of the tune plays as both members of Debauchery happily stroll down the 4CW rampway, lip syncing the entire song as some of the crowd members join in the fun and show their admiration for the mischievous tag team. When they get to the chamber entrance, Foolery and Hoo bid their goodbyes and with a slap on the back, Foolery leaves and Hoo enters the chamber. The four of them, Cain, White, Paige and Hoo all take one corner of the ring. They each snap a glance at the crates around the chamber wall. The referee locks the chamber behind him and signals for the bell.
DING DING DING.
As soon as the bell rings, Cain and White run at eachother and send lefts and right at a frantic pace. Hoo watches them until Paige reaches him with a knife edge chop and a few punches, causing him to stumble back into his corner turnbuckle. As Paige climbs on to the second buckle, White takes the advantage in the fist fight and clotheslines Cain over the top rope and to the ring-level chamber floor. Paige deliver shot after shot in the corner on Hoo and the crowd counts along with the punches.
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!!
Paige jumps down and Hoo stumbles forward - and eats a dropkick from the Lunar Pilgrim. Meanwhile, White follows Cain outside the ring to the chamber floor. Cain gets to his feet and throws a few punches but White soon grabs him by the head and whips him into the steel chamber wall! Cain bounces off and crashes. White rips open the lid of the first crate labelled "Arena" and pulls out a steel chair. He wastes no time in smashing Cain across the back once, twice, three times!
Jeffrey: You give a behemoth a steel chair and you have an absolute deadly monster!
Inside the ring, Paige puts Bally Hoo into a headlock. After a second of struggling, Hoo lifts her up and back down with a back suplex! White throws the steel chair into the ring but Hoo swipes it up and hits Paige across the back with it! Hoo drops the chair, then grabs Paige. He sets her up and lifts her up, then smashes Paige down with a Powerbomb - on to the steel chair!
Phoenix: Oh my god! What a brutal powerbomb!
Jeffrey: The Moon just came crashing down to earth haha!
Bally Hoo wastes no time in grabbing Paige with his twisted arm and locking in the Dragon Sleeper that he calls Indica!
Roberts: Indica is locked in! It's locked in! If Paige taps this is all over!!
It looks as though maybe Paige is going to tap out as she raises her hand while screaming - but suddenly White throws a boot into Bally Hoo's face breaking up the submission! White picks up Paige and throws her out of the ring. He then grabs Hoo and throws him out too so they are on the same side as Cain. White climbs over and Cain meets him with a strike - but White grabs him and throws him into the chamber wall again! He then grabs Bally Hoo and throws him into the wall! And then does the same with Paige!
Jeffrey: The Freight Train is smashing through everyone!
White leaves the broken trio and goes to another part of the chamber floor with the crate labelled "Garden". He opens the lid and pulls out a potted plant and places it on the side before pulling out a deck chair, folded up, and dumping it on the ring. He sets it up and places it in the middle of the ring - and before he can do anything else - Bally Hoo is back on his feet and in the ring. He sends White to the ropes and takes him out with a big boot! Bally Hoo then grabs White and tries to set him up for a suplex, with the deck chair behind them. White fights out of it, kicks Hoo in the groin, then lifts him up and slams him through the deck chair with a body slam!
Phoenix: That's the least relaxing thing I could think of doing with a deck chair!
Roberts: He's been out in the sun too long and just got burned!
Jeffrey: Shut up, Roberts!
At this point Cain has moved over to the "Dojo" crate and opened it. He pulls out a nunchuck and tosses it aside. Before he can look for more things, Paige approaches him with another knife edge chop! Cain hesitates for just a second long enough for Paige to hit him with an Enziguri! Paige pulls out a black karate belt from the crate as well as a Kendo Stick. She hits Cain with the Kendo Stick as he tries to get up, snapping it in two! Then, Paige gets down to the floor and grabs Cain, flipping him with her legs into the Moonbow submission! She applies pressure and Cain struggles for a moment or two, before managing to roll over and break the hold. Paige gets to her feet and grabs Cain but he is prepared this time and reverses, hitting Paige with a DDT on the chamber floor! Cain picks up the karate belt and whips it across Paige's back! Then he does it a second time! A red welt appears on the third!
Cain drops the belt and leaves Paige as he notices White over in the "Kitchen" crate. He heads over and clubs White from behind, but White throws a wild punch out of nowhere - with a carton of milk in his hand - and smashes it over Cain's head.
Jeffrey: Wait a minute, you mean to tell me Cain went and found some more spoiled milk to put in the crate for this match? HA! That backfired on him!
Meanwhile, Paige is back to her feet and pulls out a stepladder and a table to add to the match. She sets up the table on the outside of the ring and takes the stepladder in the ring. As Bally Hoo gets to his feet from the deck chair - he turns - only to be hit with the stepladder from Paige and knocked down again! As Cain retches with the smell of the spoiled milk, White enters the ring, ripping the stepladder from Paige's hands from behind and throwing it away. She turns and throws a few punches - but White hits her with a spinning powerslam! White sees the table on the outside and smirks. He goes over to it and makes sure it's stood up correctly. On the outside of the ring, Cain crawls over and reaches his arm into the ring, grabbing the stepladder. White grabs Paige and throws her out on to the outside where the table is set up. He places her on the table and punches her twice for good measure.
Phoenix: White has Paige on that table and whatever he has planned I'm sure it's nothing good!
Jeffrey: Should be good TV though!
White turns and slowly climbs the turnbuckle, facing Paige and standing to his fullest height on the top turnbuckle. He prepares to jump, when someone whistles behind him. White turns on the spot, seeing Cain on his feet, the stepladder set up. Cain runs up the stepladder so that he's level with the top turnbuckle, then jumps - Paige suddenly rolls off the table - Cain hits White with a spear on top of the turnbuckle and sends them both crashing into the table below!! White and Cain crash in a heap on the outside as Paige rolls back into the ring.
Roberts: What a crash! White and Cain just hit hard!
Phoenix: Incredible athleticism from Cain to get that running jump right!
For a few moments, Cain and White lay atop the table recovering while Paige and Bally Hoo do the same inside the ring. Then, Cain gets to his knees, sees his opportunity and grabs White's legs. On the remnants of the broken table, he lifts and turns White, locking in The Back Snap!
Roberts: And Cain has the Back Snap locked in! It could be over any second!
Luckily for everyone except Cain, Paige sees the submission and rushes to the outside, clubbing Cain on the back of the head with a stray kendo stick! With the submission broke, Paige goes looking in the other crates for a viable weapon and returns with a cheesegrater! She grabs Cain and pulls his head up, and then rubs the grater on his forehead hard, shredding his skin and busting him open!
Phoenix: Paige has drawn first blood! This is getting vicious!
Paige then goes and comes back again with the potted plant! Cain at this point has rolled under the rope and back into the ring. As he gets to his feet, Paige smashes the potted plant over his head! Cain crumples and Paige looks to have a great opportunity to lock in s submission - when Hoo grabs her suddenly back to his feet - and slams her to the mat with a short-arm clothesline! Then suddenly, White is back in the ring too - he looks livid - and targets Hoo, the only one standing and clotheslines him to the ground! While White continues to pummel Hoo, Paige uses the ropes to help get back to her feet. She goes outside and brings a table into the ring, setting it up as Hoo starts to fight back clotheslining White and sending them both outside the ring!
Paige picks up Cain, blood still dripping down his face, and tries to set him up for a suplex but he reverses and hits one of his own! Cain gets to his feet, adrenaline pumping as he shakes the ropes! He wipes some blood out of his eyes and as Paige gets to her feet, he takes her down with a vicious lariat! Cain wastes no time in picking up Paige and whipping her to the corner. He lifts her up on to the turnbuckle, and steps up himself, seemingly setting up for a superplex!
Phoenix: Cain's already put White through a table and it looks like he plans to do the same to Paige!
As Cain lifts Paige up for the superplex, there is a struggle, and Paige claws at Cain's face, loosening his grip and she manages to slip underneath him. To stop from falling, Cain sits himself down on the top buckle. Paige turns her back on him, grabs his arms, and pulls Cain down with a sitout iconoclasm - sending CAIN THROUGH THE TABLE!!
Phoenix: PAIGE IS DRAWING DOWN THE MOON!!
Jeffrey: Is there anything this woman can't do?! I wish she'd draw down my moon!
As Paige gets to her feet - after Hoo has just taken out White with a toaster from the "Kitchen" crate, she meets up with Hoo in the middle of the ring. He still has the toaster in hand and swings for her, but Paige is ready and ducks, she throws a few quick strikes, then swipes Hoo's feet and sends him crashing! She jumps on the spot and hits a Standing Moonsault! Screaming with pumping adrenaline, Paige turns to Hoo and grabs his legs, locking in Turn The Paige!!
Phoenix: You may recognise this submission as Jamie Noble's Trailer Hitch - but Paige's adaptation is aptly named Turn The Paige! And it's locked in on Hoo! Will she turn the Paige of this match and win?!
Hoo looks up in agony as Paige applies pressure and growling in frustration and agony - BALLY HOO TAPS OUT!!
Phoenix: YES SHE DOES!
Carson: Here is your winner, PILGRIIIIIIIM PAIGE!!
Paige releases the submission and uses the ropes to help herself up. Her music plays and Paige goes to the turnbuckles and celebrates, beaten up but proud of her achievement.
Phoenix: Paige wins again! This is her second win in three rounds of the tournament!
Jeffrey: Which means she gets to choose the next stipulation! I wonder what she'll have in store?
Roberts: Bally Hoo tapped out and is eliminated! Pilgrim Paige, Rhys Cain and Brian White remain!
Phoenix: Thank you for joining us, ladies and gentlemen, we'll see you next time on 4CW Storm Front! Paige wins the Survival Chamber!

Sery got fucking owned. Don't stand for it Sery, kick off. Mess shit up, destroy the announce table, the set - go all one man Nexus on the show.
I wonder if I'm ever gonna get to win one of these.... :-P Glad Cain got the milk though, a bit of poetic justice there!
Good show, enjoyed it. I wonder what Paige will choose this time....

Holy shit, the first thing of this show that blows me away is the return of Bobby Pinash in the next show! Great character, can't wait to see him return.
Sery got absolutely annihilated... but this is a good story so far and I think Sery is a hilarious character with his current gimmick. Hope he gets his redemption soon and kicks Supreme's ass.
Senecca wins a squash and apparently he's our Universal Champion. It'll be interesting to see who eventually challenges his claim to the title though, can't have him running around claiming to be the longest-reigning champ without an opponent.
I wrote the main event.
So overall, it was a pretty decent show. Interested to see where we go with Sery & Reamer, Senecca and Pinash's return next week. Soul Survivor is getting close to the end now, not long before you all envy the 2-time 4CW Heavyweight Champion, Rhys Cain. 😉

You're not getting eliminated though, surviving week after week, you're like a cockroach! 😋

Let me know when the stip is needed and I'll sort it out. Kinda unexpected, this! When is next show? I'll be mostly without internet a while (just at my aunt's), I'm in the moving process.
That table/ladder spot was awesome!
Damn, Sery got messed up bad. Yeesh.

I suppose we're just waiting for the perfect spot for White to eliminate Cain before going on to win the belt... ;-)

Working on it the best I can. Might be good for me, creative output. I'm dealing with a ton of shit, including a bad (got worse than it had been) breakup.
I'll try to name a stip soon and do a short announcement seg. Will be sent to Compy and whoever wants to write round 4.

I'm in one of the worst mental places I've been in years. How I'm going to string together an RP by the 11th at all is beyond me. I've no idea what the fuck to do, nor do I have the wherewithal now to write an announcement seg. I'll try to muster a match type soon, Compy.

It doesn't have to be anything extravagant. For example you could just do I dunno a tables match stipulation or something.
Thanks Taker_2004 for the banner!
When are RPS due? I'll name my stipulation via PM very shortly, just need to iron out the details. It's unique but simple, an update on a classic. Should make for a couple of good spots! I'll do an announcement seg and send it to Compy. Who's up for writing? It really is a simple stipulation that shouldn't throw a writer off, the Moonlight Massacre is much more odd.

I'll write it, that's no problem. Compy hasnt posted the card yet though, so RPs won't be due until probably a week after he does.
Thanks Taker_2004 for the banner!
I'll do my best for an RP and seg

Any word? Waiting on a card. Then I've got a stip/seg to send in, and if there are other matches to write for I was considering trying my hand at a singles match.

I've sent a stip proposal to Compy, when it's all ironed out I'll put you in the loop and write up an announcement seg, unless he wants it known ahead of time. Whatever works.

Working on something tonight. No worries if the show goes up before, I'm sure it can be added later...
The pyros go off, and 4CW is live!
Phoenix: Welcome everybody to –
Jeffrey: You know, I’ve heard you make the same old introduction almost every week for the last 10 or so years. It’s time for a change.
Roberts: What do you suggest?
Jeffrey: Today, I’m going to do the introduction. Alright you assholes and sons of bitches, welcome to Stormfront. I’m God’s gift to women, Ray Jeffrey, alongside two schmucks, and we’re live from that city where they dumped tea in the sea, for some reason. Always struck me as weird because you put tea in a teapot not the harbour, but I digress.
Phoenix: Great intro Ray.
Roberts: Yeah.
Jeffrey: I know, right!
Phoenix: So what can we expect tonight then Ray?
Jeffrey: I’m glad you asked me that question Scott. There’s Soul Survivor, in that new cage match thing Rhys Cain came up with –
Roberts: The Survival Chamber.
Jeffrey: - yeah that. Senecca randomly takes on Tom Foolery and Sery’s wrestling last week’s Soul Survivor loser, Gunnar Jarlsson. So without further ado, let’s go to the ring, unless you all want some more of the Jeff?
The camera doesn’t seem to think so, as it focuses on the ring, and we are greeted with 4CW Deputy General Manager Sarah Loveless, standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand.
Loveless: Ladies and gentleman, I would now like to welcome to the ring, 4CW’s brand new Honorary Assistant General Manager!
After a few uneasy moments of silence, “Supernova Goes Pop” by Powerman 5000 hits and the crowd roars and comes to their feet!
Phoenix: Just when we thought we saw the last of him! Jack “Mad Dog” Valentine! Assistant GM of 4CW!
Jeffery: I suddenly….hate my life.
Valentine emerges from backstage wearing a slim fit grey suit with a notch lapel, white shirt, and a blue tie. He even sports the blue handkerchief in the chest pocket, with matching grey dress pants, and shiny black dress shoes. His cane he’s wielding is also shiny and brand new, with a silver handle leading into a black shaft. He nevertheless still has his dark black hair in a ponytail that dangles down his back and a scruffy thick five o’clock shadow covers his face. He stands at the top of the stage and looks out to the audience and soaks it all in with a big smile on his face. He then descends down the ramp, limping, but with pride and purpose. He reaches the ring steps and slowly but sternly makes his way up them and is met by Ms. Loveless sitting on the middle rope and holding the top one up, to make entering the ring easier for the former 4CW Universal Champion.
Phoenix: He cleans up pretty well, doesn’t he Ray?
Jeffery: I’m going to be sick.
Valentine enters the ring and nods to Sarah Loveless in appreciation. The music cuts and she hands him her microphone and he raises it to his lips, but cannot speak as the crowd continues to cheer. Loveless begin clapping as well. Valentine just grins and waits. He then attempts to speak again.
Valentine: Thank you. Thank you all. When we last spoke, I did not leave the arena in the best of spirits. But I can thank Mr. Clay for changing that.
The crowd cheers.
Valentine: I have been given purpose. I cannot compete but I can still continue to make an impact here in 4CW.
Jeffery: Maybe I should just hit him. He can’t take me now, he’s a cripple!
Phoenix: I think you should try it Ray, you'll be fine. I really want to see it.
Valentine: I would like to get started right away. And with that and the lack of quality matches and talent 4CW has right now. I’ve been able to use my connections to get some old friends of mine temporarily back to 4CW for a series of matches. You see past management may have never truly respected me, but the locker room only the other hand. They recognize a worker when they see one. They know I helped pave the way for everyone and put 4CW on the map!
The crowd gives a mix reaction.
Phoenix: Um. Strong words from our new Assistant General Manager! Eh Ray?
Jeffery: Only time I think I'll ever agree with him about the roster *snickers*
Valentine: So with that. You will all be treated with a series of matches. A 4CW Legends Appreciation Series. I will showcase to you all the greatest superstars 4CW had to offer. A history lesson on how this once great company, was on top of the world. And just maybe we can get this company back to the truly great heights it once sat! On the very next Storm Front, in the city so nice, they named it twice. New York City, I give you my old friend, stable mate, and former Tag Team partner……Roman!
Valentine receives a polite pop from the crowd and he grins having expected it.
Valentine: Squaring off against another old friend of mine. I know him as Big BP. You know him as a former two time 4CW Universal champion, “No Class” Bobby Pinash!!!
The crowd explodes with cheering at the sound of the Pinash. Valentine waits a moment, leaning on his cane, allowing the crowd claim down.
Valentine: This is just the beginning folks. Now sit back and watch me make 4CW great again!
Valentine raises his arm up and the crowd cheers as his music hits and then Valentine slowly exits the ring, with Loveless help and the two make their way up the ramp.
Jeffery: I can’t believe he just said that.
Phoenix: Regardless Ray, you can’t undermine what Valentine is doing! Sure Roman we’ve seen in somewhat recent history, but Pinash! That’s legit!
Jeffery: Nobody will care.
Phoenix: The crowd just went nuts!
Jeffery: This is the Boston crowd. They cheered because he’s taking that garbage to New York.
Phoenix: While I disagree with you Ray, that was clever.
The camera heads backstage to the interview set, where one of tonight’s competitors is standing by.
Crowe: This is Gabriel Crowe live backstage with Senecca.
Senecca: Did you just say your last name was Crowe?
Crowe: Yes...
Senecca: No... there was only one Crowe here in 4CW and that coward flew back to wherever the hell he was from and hasn't been heard from since... This is the new era in 4CW and we are not going to muddy the place up with old names that should have died out long ago...
Crowe: I can't really help what my last na...
Senecca: How would you like to be Gabriel... Payne?
Senecca looks at him and smirks a little.
Crowe:: I...
Senecca snatches the microphone out of her hand and stares at him menacingly.
Senecca: Get over there in the corner and don't come out until I tell you. I'm going to show the world what a professional can do...
Gabriel walks off camera as Senecca turns his attention back to it.
Senecca: I promised that tonight the Universe would be watching. I promised tonight that the world was going to see nothing but Payne... Cover your kids ears, turn them away from the screen... because in five seconds the lights are going to go out... and there will be no more entertainment...
Back in the arena, "Red Flag" by Billy Talent roars through the arena and Sery steps out onto the ramp. Carrying with him a big large cardboard cut out of his face and a steel chair with his face painted on it also.
Phoenix: You gotta wonder what Sery is going to say. Last week he seemed very conflicted with his future. I'd hate to see another wrestler retire.
Jeffrey: Heck, I hope he does retire and I hope its because Supreme ripped him a new one last week! Supreme speaking truths.
Phoenix: I don't know what truths you are talking about..
Sery manages to pass out a few business cards too some of the fans at ringside on his way to the ring. He gets to the ring and sets his big Sery cutout in the corner of the ring and unfolds the Sery Branded chair and sits in the middle of the ring.
Sery: "Now the plan was to have me as a guest on some interview segment. While that would have been cool, I had some others thoughts. First things first, everything you see me, your boy, Sery, wearing is available on seryshop.com! Everything from my T-shirt, glasses, hat, and even though you can't see em some Sery brand underwear! Supplies limited. Also coming soon, Sery brand adult diapers, I was inspired by a certain someone, we will get to that here in a second."
Sery takes a pause and laughs to himself.
Sery: "Last week I said I was going to take a week to think about my future. But in all reality, I think before that interview, my mind was made up. That was going to be end for Sery, atleast here in 4CW. I was going to start pursing other opportunities. That was until this happened, roll the footage."
A video recap of last week plays. It highlights Supreme's comments about Sery. After it cuts out and Sery is smiling to the crowd.
Sery; "I didn't know an escaped lost dementia patient was going to be 4CW's saviour. For real, how old is Supreme now? He's gotta be getting up there. But you know what I did this week? Went on the good ole youtube and watched some old Supreme matches. When it hit me, you can't spell the name Supreme without overrated. You think I'm just hanging on here bud? Well this "joke" holds a pinfall victory over you. So what does that make you? But you want to eliminate me? Come at me bro. I may usually be all fun and games, but this small dude standing here has a mean side. There is a reason Waldo is hiding Supreme, and I ain't going down with out a...."
Supreme suddendly slides in the ring from out of nowhere it seems and he hits Sery with a kick to the head knocking him out of the chair. Supreme grabs the chair, spits on it, and then cracks Sery's back with it. Sery falls back down. Supreme takes the chair and continously drives it into Sery's fallen torso.
Phoenix: This is terrible, just sick.
Jeffrey: Sery was talking a lot of smack Scott, Surpeme is here to bring him down a notch and get rid of the twerp for good.
Supreme is bent over Sery and he starts pounding punches into his skull and doesn't stop until a nice flow of blood starts flowing out of Sery's head. Supreme sets the chair back up and brings Sery's mangled body to his feet and sends him throught he chair with a vicious power bomb. Surpreme grabs the mic.
Supreme: You should join your buddy Waldo there and go into hiding you disrepectful little s**t. You're in over your head and you are going to be kicking your self in the rear for the rest of your life for talking that way to this legend. Have fun in your match, from what I understand it starts... RIGHT NOW!"
Supreme hops out of the ring.
"Dolcissimae...
Oh Fortuna...
Venit Meos..."
The arena goes from dark to an explosion of pyro as the song changes and "The Striking Viking" Gunnar Jarlsson appears from behind the curtain. He stops at the top of the stage and peers over the crowd with a look of fierce determination. He then marched down the aisle, neither slapping hands with any fans or even acknowledging their existence. He slides into the ring and eyes Sery right away.
Phoenix: This can't go on, Sery is barely even moving!
Jeffrey: Are you not entertained?! This is sweet vindication!
DING! DING! DING!
Gunnar Jarlsson picks Sery up to his feet and holds him in place and them hits Sery hard with his finisher "The Thorn" (heart punch). Jarlsson drops down to the match and goes for a pin.
1..2..kickout!
Phoenix: How the hell did Sery kick out?
Jeffrey: Ehh, dead bodies twitch a bit after death I think.
Gunnar Jarlsson doesnt get deterred by this though. Jarlsson steps on Sery's chest and jumps into the air and comes back down with a double stomp, which he calls the Seismic! The Striking Viking brings the smaller Sery to his feet holds him in place again and hits him again with "The Thorn" and goes for a pin.
1...2...3!!!
Carson: And your winner is The Striking Viking... Gunnar Jarlson!!!!!
Gunnar Jarlson laughs at Sery's fallen body as we cut out to commercial!
