As everyone was getting settled in, the lights dim as a montage of AWE's history plays on the titantron. The video showcases it's officially opening and start under then CEO Rancid Rabbit as he appears on the first live show in AWE's city of origin and where Headquarters is at, Austin, Texas.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the next best thing in sports entertainment!" Rancid said to a cheering crowd, "And welcome to those watching at home for joining us as tonight is the first night my company is broadcasted to your local home entertainment system…Welcome to Animated Wrestling ENTERTAINMENT!"
The montage shows the very first televised matches including Race Bannon, Johnny Quest, Hong Kong Phooey, among others.
The montage continues to AWE's first major event, dubbed as Friday Night Highlight Show, where the first AWE Champion was crowned, that man being Race Bannon in a 15-Man Battle Royal featuring superstars from different cities and countries, from different cartoons and shows.
The montage featured several other major events, the last being Rancid stepping down as CEO and current CEO Squilliam Fancyson taking the reins. The montage ended like an old film reel, the original AWE logo shown briefly as the titantron cuts to black before the current, cooler logo appears.
The crowd gives a round of applause for the lookback at the history of the company. Spotlights go around the arena then to the development superstars sitting in chairs off stage to the right, then to the women seated to the left of the stage on the ground floor, some of the wave to the fans and camera as it cuts to Dr. Quest in the center of the ring to a great showing of cheers and applause.
(Way of the Ring by Dale Oliver Plays)
"Ladies and Gentlemen, as a part time ring announcer from back in the days, please welcome to the stage, the General Manager of AWE, Steve Jones, and Head of Human Resources, Oktavia!" Dr. Quest announced.
The crowd cheers as the two appear on stage, Steve dressed in a traditional black tux, Oktavia, however, sporting an eye-catching white tux instead. The both have a mic in hand as they waved to the crowd, the superstars and women clapping for them.
"Good Evening Everyone!" Oktavia said, "I want to thank each and every one of you here live with us in the arena, and those watching from home for honoring us as we bring to you a very special event. An event so special to us, and to those we are recognizing that we as a company felt was special that it be a special show on its own and within a corner of AWE's Biggest Show of the Year, Wrestlebration. We welcome you to the AWT&T Graduation Ceremony!"
The crowd claps and cheers as the two take in a moment for them.
"As so many of you know, Graduation is such a lifetime milestone for every individual, man or woman, as this event recognizes those who have struggled, have fought, have endured many obstacles so that we may celebrate their accomplishments as they are welcomed to a whole different world" Steve said, "It may not be with welcome arms, heh, as afterwards more responsibilities are put on our shoulders, but that's what we went through for. For me, there was a graduation from Elementary School to Middle School, or Junior High, I graduated High School, and, even though it was cut short by a storm, I had a College Graduation"
Oktavia then took the hold, "But tonight, tonight we will celebrate as the Main Roster welcomes a new group of talent that will further expand our growth as a company. Unfortunately, we cannot recognize all the talent that our developmental facility have welcomed"
The crowd boos slightly as Oktavia nodded in agreement.
"Tonight, a select group of men and women will cross over to the main roster, who they are? Only myself and Steve, the faculty over at our Developmental Facility, including Dr. Quest, and a select few of the staff as well as the superstars and women here waiting for their name to be called"
Steve then stepped up to speak again, "The way the show will vary and will be as followed; In just a moment we will be taking a look at our fellow AWE Alumni who have walked down this aisle, stepped into that ring, and gave it their all to entertain, then the opening match will kick off the night, and afterwards me and Oktavia will announce the first graduates. I'll be welcoming the men while Oktavia will be announcing the women that will take that next step into the AWE Family. This process will be randomized UNTIL the Main Event of the evening where we will announce the remaining men and women to make the move. Anything else will fall between as necessary"
The crowd claps and cheers for the duo as Steve began to speak again.
"To start our show off, we'll be looking back at a superstar who brought out the most 'Entertainment' in Animated Wrestling Entertainment every single show" Steve began, "He not only put a smile on everyone's faces, got the crowd cheering, got them excited for what stunning move's he'll be showing off, he represented every future superstars from different countries, and not just the United States. Let us take a look back at Penrod "Penry" Pooch's career in AWE, otherwise known, as Hong Kong Phooey."
The crowd began to cheer loudly, but quickly quiets down as the lights dim as the HKP's tribute video started on the Titantron.
*Tribute Video*
The video starts to a roaring, hyped crowd.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! HONG KONG PHOOOEY!" the announcer says as HKP walks out on stage and bows before raising his arms up.
"Penrod was one of the most popular, beloved superstars that AWE had the pleasure to work with" Steve is heard speaking, "His only goal was to make men, women, and children happy"
Hong Kong Phooey is seen in a tag team match against Bonkers Bobcat and Lucky Piquel with Baloo von Bruinwald XIII as his tag team partner. He is irish whipped towards a corner by Bonkers, who is following right behind. HK jumps up on top of the turnbuckle and backflips over Bonkers who goes face first into the corner. Bonkers stumbles back holding his nose as HK playful trips him from behind.
"He wasn't in it for the money, he wasn't in it for championships, he was only there for the crowd, for the people" Dr. Quest commented, "And that, in my opinion, is what makes him one of the greatest"
The video cuts to then Intercontinental Champion Dick Dastardly and his partner Muttley in the ring. Dick had thrown out an open challenge to anyone he HADN'T faced for the Intercontinental Title.
"Is there no one that isn't going to step up? Oh that's right, I HAVE BEATEN EVERY SINGLE CHALLENGER!" Dick Dastardly gloated as the crowd booed loudly as Muttley snickered to himself.
Dick Dastardly had won the Intercontinental Championship from Johnny Quest months before, he had also evaded Rancid Rabbit's Edict that if he had lost the match, he would no longer compete for the title. That is, until Rancid informed him of another clause in a contract he signed.
"You've got your title, Mr. Dastardly, but that doesn't mean that my order is gone" Rancid said, "All the complaining, all the manipulating, and all the shortcuts you took to get that title will now be secondary weight….should you lose the title, whether it be in a week, a month, or a year for all I care, that Edict will stand, not only will you lose the title, but so will your right to compete for it."
He had managed to stay champion for several months, using every loophole to his advantage, but there was one person he hadn't faced, and that person was the one he cheated out to become #1 Contender in the first place….Hong Kong Phooey.
It was at the end of the match, the referee was down and HK stood exhausted, looking down at Dick Dastardly as he begged for forgiveness, unaware that Muttley stood with the title in hand. HK's second sense kicked in and roundhouse kicked the title out of Muttley's hand, scaring him away. Dastardly, however, had one last trick to pull…and that was a 2ND title in hand! Muttley had a replica title!
"Phooey sensed Muttley coming from behind" Mike the TV commented, "OH BUT DASTARDLY HAS THE REAL TITLE ON HIM!"
Dick Dastardly charged to strike HK in the back, but HK reached back and Arm Dragged him! Dastardly lay on his back as HK bowed, which signaled the end. HK ran, jumped on Dastardly, bounced off him and onto the top rope, and then hit the Kongscrew Dropkick on Dastardly to the roaring cheers of the crowd. HK covered Dastardly for the pin.
"1!

.

2!

The video cut to the crowd jumping to their feet, cameras going off.
"HONG KONG PHOOEY HAS UPSET DICK DASTARDLY AND IS NOW A TWO-TIME INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION!" Mike the TV shouted.
"There was nothing more sweet than seeing Dick Dastardly's time run out" Raimundo commented, "Seeing HK holding the title in hand was icing on the cake!"
Hong Kong Phooey's career would go with the flow and after several more years, after dozens upon dozens of matches, through 3 more title reigns as Intercontinental Champion, Penrod Pooch would call it in and announce his retirement, while still champion. To make way for the new wave of wrestlers, Penrod and Rancid Rabbit would agree on a special tournament that would culminate at AWE's biggest show of the year, before being named Wrestlebration.
"Hong Kong Phooey will always be, in my opinion, the greatest Intercontinental Champion in Wrestling History, and one of the greatest performers" Race Bannon commented.
*Tribute Video Ends*
*Ring*
Inside the ring were over a dozen superstars, including Kevin (Ed, Edd, n' Eddy), Rolf, Jumpy Ghostface, Beastboy, Mighty Ray, among others.
(Nobody Likes Me by Deuce Plays)
Nobody likes me Nobody likes me All this hate you gave me that turned me deranged
No one likes me
But I don't like them
Uh huh, I don't, nu uh
No one likes me
Why? 'Cause I don't like them
Uh huh, I don't, nu uh
Now I'm burning in the flames
All the things you said, they've been stuck in my head
And now I'm at it again, an addict
Welcome to hell bitch
You can't do nothing about it
The superstars in the ring turned to the stage to see Scout come down, red hoodie with the hood pulled over his head, and baggy, sports pants, hands in the pockets. Scout took notice to the decorations that were set up during the tribute video. There were a few speakers set up on both sides outside the entrance, fake palm trees and some party people dancing, not caring about Scout. There was some black and silver streamers and balloons strewn about, there was a DJ behind a DJ table.
"Well folks, I cannot argue that Hong Kong Phooey is the greatest performer and Intercontinental Champion in Fiction Wrestling History" Mark said, "I admit it'd be a shocker if there was a debate"
"Like Dr. Quest said, he was all about entertaining everyone, every night, it doesn't matter if he won titles, made several figures or what, he was in it for the people, and that what makes him one of the greatest" Vanessa said.
"What better way to celebrate his career with this kickoff Battle Royal" Mark said, "An Over-the-Top Battle Royal to determine the #1 Contender for the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlebration"
"Later tonight we'll find out just WHO will be the champion going into Wrestlebration" Vanessa said, "Ugh..and I hate to say that Yang could be it if he wins tonight"
"He faces Johnny Test, the current champion who is actually gunning for HK's streak as Champion, what do you think goes through HK's mind knowing that?"
Scout had already entered the ring as everyone was prepared to start. However…
"Let the Test Begin!" Johnny's voice is heard shouting.
(Never Gonna Stop Me by Rob Zombie Plays)
Yeah, I'm on Durango number 95!
Take me to the home, kick boots and ultra-live!
See heaven flash a horror show!
Knock it nice and smooth step back and watch it blow, YEAAAAAAAAAAH!

NEVER GONNA STOP MEEEEEEE! NEVER GONNA STOP!
Never gonna stop meeeeee! Never gonna stop!
NEVER GONNA STOP MEEEEEEE! NEVER GONNA STOP!
SCREAM IF YOU WANT IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! 'CAUSE I WANT MORE!
SCREAM IF YOU WANT IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! 'CAUSE I WANT MORE!
The superstars turn back, Scout slowly turned his head, disgruntled as the crowd is on their feet again as Johnny Test appears on stage, the people on the stage cheering for him too.
"And speaking of which! Here's the Champ himself!" Mark said.
Johnny, with mic in hand, and title over his shoulder grinned as he looked at the crowd.
"Sorry for the surprise appearance, but it dawned upon Steve and the guys backstage that there was a minor problem with this match" Johnny said.
"A minor problem? What kind of problem?" Vanessa said.
"Nothing too serious, it's just the fact that there is an ODD numbered of guys in the ring!" Johnny pointed out.
"Welp, he's right, an odd number of guys in the ring" Mark said.
"They were frantically thinking about who else to send out when I just so happened to pass by and overhear the commotion" Johnny said, "And I got with Steve and them and I mention that a very, very great friend of mine just so happened to show up early! And that friend is AWE's newest acquisition! The very one that was hyped up for over a month!"
The crowd began to cheer, and began chanting several names like "Dan Kuso", "Charlie Brown", among other noticeable names from other companies.
"Are you kidding?!" Mark shot up, "He's here already?!"
"Oh god, there's been so much talk about who this guy is, one thing for sure is that he is a former World Champion!" Vanessa mentioned.
"Now he's been patient, he's been ready, and he's itching to get this party going!" Johnny said, his voice getting excited, "I got the boys to agree! HE'S IN THE MATCH!"
The cheering grew louder as they began to jump in excitement.
"Oh he's in?!" Mark questioned, eyes widened.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Get ready for AWE's Newest Megastar!" Johnny shouted, going silent for a moment "PUT YOUR HANDS UP! FOR FORMER CARTOON WRESTLING FEDERATION CHAMPION! BART SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMPSOOOOOOOOOOON!"
"WHAT?!" Mark shouted. Vanessa was speechless.
The crowd erupted in cheers, but quickly died down as the lights went dark.
(I Came To Party by Deuce, Truth & Travie McCoy Plays)
Ima make you mine...
I thought I told ya...
Ima make you mine...
I thought I told ya...
I CAME TO PARTY!
Multiple Spotlights came on around the arena, spinning around the arena as the crowd cheered. There were multi-colored lights going off around the stage area. But…standing in the center, in dreadlocks with different colored glow-in-the-dark beads in his hair, Black Jacket, Orange muscle shirt underneath, a dogtag, and blue jeans, was BART SIMPSON!
"OH…MY…GOD! IT'S TRUE!" Mark shouted, "IT'S TRUE! BART SIMPSON IS HERE IN AWE!"
The superstars in the ring, including Scout, and the developmental superstars and women watched in utter shock.
See girl, I don't really care if you's an actress!
Hey bartender, can I get a cup?
Tonight's my night and I'm gettin' fucked up!
I hope I still got the charm, got the luck!
'cause all these bitches and ho's look like so much fun!
Just as long as you know, when it's time for action!
And girl it's right about that time!
So open your mouth up wide!
And baby lets get it crackin!
I CAME TO PARTY, I CAME TO PARTY!
Hands up girl give me that body!

'cause everything you think girl I can see!
I CAME TO PARTY! I CAME TO PARY!
Hands up girl give me that body!
I'm a make you mine before I leave!
'Cause every little thing you do to me
got me goin' crazy!
"After weeks and weeks of speculation, AWE has acquired the Fiction Wrestling Multiverse Revolutionary himself!" Mark said, on his feet watching Bart come down from the commentary table, "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! The biggest superstar to sign to another company since AJ Styles came to WWE!"
Bart climbed up the steps and into the ring, his music dying down and the roaring crowd taking over. All the guys in the ring starred at him in disbelief, Scout the least in disbelief. Bart raises his eyebrows twice quickly as Scout's expression turned unimpressed. The crowd turned their cheers into chants.
"BART! BART! BART! BART! BART! BART! BART!" they changed in unison.
"Oh-ho ho ho MAN!" Mark spoke up, "I have serious chills! This is totally unbelieveable!"
"Bart Simpson, Former CWF Champion, 3rd Generation Wrestler, his father Homer Simpson, and grandfather Abraham Jedidiah Simpson The 2nd, both well-known, respected, wrestlers in their time" Vanessa said, "Bart, the Architect of Anarchy, Commander of Chaos, Deity of Disorder, just many names given for his career behind challenging law and order, when the law won, he never wouldn't stop, when the law lost, it left an everlasting mark that no one would ever forget"
Scout turned away, only to go for a cheap shot, but Bart full well expected it and threw him through the top and middle rope, prompting the bell to ring to start the match.
*Bell Rings*
All of the superstars quickly went at the closest opponent, Mighty Ray going after Bart. Ray grabbed Bart around the waist and lifted him up and dropped him face first onto the mat. He stood up only to get swept off his feet as Bart made a spinning dance move to shift onto his back. Bart then kicked up to his feet and removed his jacket. Bart then walked up to Ray and hit him with a Corkscrew Leg Drop onto his head.
"Bart has got some fresh moves that's gonna make him unpredictable in this match!" Mark said, "And Scout, before I forget, has not been eliminated"
"He was thrown between the ropes and not over it" Vanessa pointed out, "And even if here were, he'd still be okay, I think, the bell hadn't rung to start the match"
Jumpy Ghostface and Captain Melonhead were squaring off in a corner with Jumpy sitting on the top turnbuckle. Melonhead climbed up to go for a Superplex but Jumpy head-butted him in the side of the head. Melonhead dropped back down, but Jumpy held onto his left arm. Jumpy stood up on the turnbuckle and began a treacherous walk on the top rope. Jumpy then tried to Hurricarana Melonhead over the ropes, but he made a successful save by grabbing the top rope and hooking the bottom with his legs.
"Both Melonhead and Jumpy so close to being eliminated! OOOH! WHICH ONE IS GOING TO GO OVER FIRST!?" Mark asked.
"Jumpy is over the ropes desperately trying to either toss Melonhead out, or at least if Jumpys going to go over, at least bring him out as well"
While Melonhead holds on to the ropes, Beast Boy is struggling against Kevin. Beast Boy is already over the ropes as Kevin is so close to pushing him off. Like Jumpy, Beast Boy headbutts Kevin to give him some room, but it only dazes him as well. Kevin stumbles back and curses as blood quickly comes out of his nose. In anger, Kevin nails Beast Boy with a sloppy Full Throttle Kick. Beast Boy loses his grip on the ropes and falls back, but his leg gets caught between the middle and bottom rope.
"FULL THROTTLE! Beast Boys out! He's gone!" Mark spoke up, "Oh not yet! He's caught!"
"Not a place Beast Boy wants to be, especially tied-up like an animal" Vanessa said, "The Irony.."
Kevin sees Beast Boy still holding on and tries to get him off. He tries pulling the ropes apart but Beast Boy begins kicking him in the face. Beast Boy nails in the nose again, sending Kevin stumbling back, then tries to pull himself up. Scout comes from behind and slams the back of Beast Boy's head against the ring apron with the Force-A-Nature. He then frees Beast Boy's leg and lets him drop down to the mat.
"Beast Boy desperately trying to get back in, and SCOUT! With the Force-A-Nature against the ring!" Mark said, "And Beast Boy is gone!"
Scout climbs up to the top rope to see Kevin charging toward him. Scout pulls down the top rope and lets Kevin carelessly go over. The crowd boos at Scout as he rolls back into the ring.
"And Kevins gone too, too high-strung and it costed him" Vanessa said.
Jumpy began pulling Melonhead with all he has. Soon Melonhead loses his grip on the ropes and goes over the ropes, along with Jumpy himself. Both of them land on the floor and are eliminated.
"And Jumpy Ghostface and Melonhead are out!" Mark said, "That leaves 3! Scout, Mighty Ray, and Bart Simpson!"
Bart has Ray against the corner when Scout comes in from behind. He begins thrashing Bart with rights and clubs to the back. Scout then lifts Bart over his shoulders and takes him to the center of the ring. Bart kicks his feet and begins elbowing Scout in the side of the head. Scout then nails Bart with the Busta Gut. Bart rolls away, clenching his midsection as Scout stumbles to his feet.
"Bart trying to get Ray out, but Scout comes in and dishes him with a gut-wrenching double-knee to his midsection" Vanessa said.
Scout spits in Bart's direction and turns to Ray who was regaining himself. Scout made a dash for him but Ray saw it coming and sent him over the ropes, but mistakenly goes over himself!
"Scout..oh God! Scout!" Mark shouted, "And Might Ray on the brink! Ray going overboard!"
The two fist it out on the apron, trying to get the other off. Ray head-butts Scout hard on the forehead, dazing them both, but Scout retaliates with some kicks to the back of Ray's legs.
"Jesus, these two look like they're fighting for their lives on a thin log over a ravine!" Mark said.
Meanwhile in the ring, Bart recovered from the Busta Gut and saw the two on the apron. Bart ran parallel against the ropes, jumping onto the middle rope with his left, then onto the top with his right. The crowd watching in amazement as Bart sprinted across the top rope and went for a double dropkick on the two. Scout, however, saw Bart coming and dropped down just in time for Bart to hit Ray and send him to the floor.
"Bart back on his feet..running to the ropes, and OH GOD! Bart tightrope running across the top rope!" Mark stood on his feet watching, along with Vanessa, "Dropkick to Ray! Missing Scout! AND RAY IS GONE! RAY IS GONE!"
Scout rolled back into the ring behind Bart and got to his feet, as does Bart. Scout turns Bart around to go for the Force-A-Nature, but Bart escapes. He backs up as Scout gets to his feet, and makes a run at him. Bart spins Scout around with the Hangover (Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissors Takedown), sending him near the ropes. Bart clotheslines Scout over the ropes, but Scout manages to hang on. Scout grabs Bart's head and tries to pull him over, but Bart hangs on.
"Scout and Bart! The final two! Who's heading to Wrestlebration to face the Intercontinental Champion!?" Mark asked.
Scout, out of desperation, pulls on a few of Bart's dreadlocks. Bart jerks his head back on instinct, yelling. Scout then rakes Bart across the face, and, with one final pull, gets Bart over the ropes and onto the floor!
"Scout pulling and clawing! ELIMINATES BART SIMPSON!" Mark shouted, "SCOUT IS GOING TO WRESTLEBRATION!"

Why? 'Cause I don't like them
Uh huh, I don't, nu uh

But when it came to saving me
You let me self-destruct
Not to mention that this black cloud, it sticks around
And visits my intuition, won't let me back down
And I swear to God, my heart is like a piston
Pumping rage into this engine, turn the keys to my ignition
"Here is your winner! SCOUT!" Ape Trully announced, the crowd booing at the results.
Scout rolled back into the ring and jumped to his feet, pumping his feet in the air, yelling, cheering and cursing to himself as the crowd booed him. He couldn't care less about what anyone thought about him, he has a title shot, and on AWE's Biggest Show of the Year, Wrestlebration.
Scout made eye contact with Bart who was eyeing him from ringside. He gave Bart a shit eating grin and shouted at him "IT'S MY NIGHT!". Bart shook his head, smirking and walking away.
"Scout desperately wanted the spot, and he got it using any means necessary" Vanessa said, "But who he faces at Wrestlebration for the Intercontinental Championship, we'll find out later tonight, Johnny Test or Yang"
"On the bright side, BART FUCKIN' SIMPSON!" Mark shouted, "Bart Simpson now partying with us on AWE!"
*Backstage*
Speaking of the Intercontinental Championship, the current champion Johnny Test stands at the interview area just having watched the Match on TV. Leshawna awaits behind him and begins to ask.
"So Johnny, what are your thoughts on possibly facing Scout at Wrestlebration should, you know, retain your title tonight?" she asks.
Johnny continues to watch Scout talk smack to the camera in the ring.
"He's a determined skinny hardass" Johnny said, looking over at Leshawna, "When I do retain my title, and when I do face him at Wrestlebration, it won't be our first Tango…it certainly won't be our last…but I can guarantee it will be the most brutal…we'll see who is the better man by being the Last One Standing"
The crowd cheers as Johnny readjusts the title over his shoulder, takes one look back at the TV to see Scout just staring right back.
"We'll see who the 'Tough Guy' is then" Johnny commented before leaving.
"A Last Man Standing Match for the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlebration! What a way to culminate the heat between the two!" Mark said.
"Yeah, but that's only if Johnny can retain his title later on tonight, the stipulation may not be added if Yang somehow, someway takes the title, then again, I do hope it sticks no matter what" Vanessa said, "But ladies and gentlemen, coming up next, we introduce the first two rookies to graduate from AWE's Developmental Territory and make their way to the main roster here, don't go away"

*Commercial Ends*
(Way of the Ring by Dale Oliver Plays)
Steve and Oktavia are seen back onstage as their music fades out. Steve was standing a dark blue podium with a silhouette cutout of a man behind him, in front of the podium in silver lettering read 'Superstars'. Oktavia was on the other side at a dark pink podium, with a women's silhouette cutout standing behind him, 'Women' shown in red lettering in front of his podium.
"Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen" Steve greeted, "and before we get down to business, I want to send out a big welcome to Bart Simpson for joining our company, gracing us with his presence, I assure that you'll fit right in and feel properly welcomed"
The crowd cheers, followed by 'Bart' chants.
"Now, if my partner will start things off, let us welcome the first two rookies to AWE's Main Roster" Steve said.
"Everybody has hidden potential, hidden talent that they're free to express to the world in any way they see fit" Oktavia began, "Their potential can take them to unbelievable heights at the right moment; If their talent is sports, they can try out for Basketball or Football; If their talent is music, whether it be singing or excelling at an instrument, forming a band with others can showcase their talent to the world; And if you're like our first graduate, she has a talent that'll entertain each and every one of you. A master at combat, she'll fit just right in the world of wrestling; Please welcome our First Women's Graduate, AndrAIa!"
(E.T. by Katy Perry Plays)
You're so hypnotizing Your touch magnetizing They say, be afraid
Could you be the devil?
Could you be an angel?
Feels like I am floating
Leaves my body glowing
You're not like the others
Futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you
You're from a whoooole 'nother world Take me, ta-ta-take me! Boy, you're an alien!
A diiiifferent dimension
You oooopen my eyes
And I'm ready to gooooo
Lead me into the liiiiiiiight!Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me!
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison!
Wanna be a victim!
Ready for abduction!
Your touch so foreign!
It's supernatural!
Extraterrestrial!
The arena spotlights converged on AndrAIa in the seats with the other rookies. She closed her eyes and smiled, putting her face in her hands for a quick second before standing up. Everybody started giving her a round of applause. The crowd began cheering loudly and chanting 'AndrAIa' as she made her way.
"Beautiful, Quick, and a Fighter, a lethal combination perfect to describe her background" Vanessa described, "Suffering only a single loss during her training, this company is perfect for her, can definitely make a name for herself"
"Unfortunately, that loss was the result of an injury she had, officials then ruling her unable to continue and was taken in for evaluation" Mark explained, "But like you said, Vanessa, she's a Fighter and it did NOT take her long at all to get back to work"
AndrAIa made her way onstage, shaking hands, hugging and kissing Steve and Oktavia before she approached Dr. Quest who was awaiting with the 'Diploma', a half-sized, different colored replica of the AWE Women's Championship. Instead of AWE, however, was AWT&T, and instead of 'World Champion', it read 'Class of 2010 Graduate', with AndrAIa's name where the name plate should be.
AndrAIa shook hands with Dr. Quest and gave him a hug before gently grabbing her 'Diploma' and walking up to the Women's Podium.
"Wow! Uh! I don't know what to say!" AndrAIa fought to come up with a quick speech, "Thank you so much everyone for your support! I know a bit of my time was taken up with my injury and wasn't able to continue for that time, but, like a champ, I accepted the fact and much like working with Dr. Quest and the others, I worked with myself to get back on my feet as soon as possible, I can say it wasn't easy, but then again, working to become a part of this business, there's never a shortcut. I want to thank each and every one of you guys for helping me through this, I want to thank Dr. Quest, Mr. Bear, and the others at the training facility, my many friends I've made there, and finally a thank you to Mr. Jones and his team, I'll be sure to do my very best to entertain the AWE Universe and beyond, rest assured, this is just the start of a whole new road, Thank you!"
(E.T. by Katy Perry Resumes)
Everyone began clapping and cheering as AndrAIa made her way backstage, but not before thanking the others and waving to the other rookies. As the claps slowly die down, Steve and Oktavia return to their podiums.
"Now, from our first woman, to our first superstar, from a passion, to straight dedication" Steve began, "Dedication, though, is only an understatement, and that word is only a few words to describe him. This man can also be fittingly described as having Midas' touch when it comes to picking up a basketball, or picking up a football. In seconds he could easily become an expert, but that wasn't enough for him, it wasn't the 'right sport'. That's when he got in touch with us and wanted to tryout. Sure enough, he felt right at home, and he wasn't going to stop until he became one of the, if not, THE best. We have high expectations, and he has a higher drive, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Liiightning!"

The spotlights shined on Lightning who is already out of seat, celebrating. He fist bumps a few of the guys and winks at some of the girls before making his way to the stage.
"Oh I love this guy! He's non-stop entertainment and The Guy Made for Wrestling!" Mark said.
"He is not someone to take lightly at all, suffering only just two losses, but you got to admit, this guy tends to act before he thinks" Vanessa chimed in.
Lightning gives Steve and Oktavia a handshake/hug before going up and retrieving his Diploma Belt from Dr. Quest. Much like the Women's Diploma Belt, the Superstar's one was a replica of the AWE Championship. Lightning shakes Dr. Quests hand before walking up to the podium.
"Awww Yeah, Baby! There wasn't a doubt in my mind that I was DESTINED to be a part of the Big Dogs!" Lightning said, "But in all seriousness, I know many of my fellow rookies see me as narrow-minded, a loud-mouth, and one with a huge ass ego and all, but it's was all in good fun, yo! I know y'all gonna expect me to be like I had no help at all, but I did have help. I had help from each of you guys, I met and faced unique guys who were a part of my road to the big leagues. I had help from the Doc and the others working in the back, because for real, this job ain't as easy as one would believe. There's real work, there's real effort, and there's real injuries, a fair share of injuries like my girl AndrAIa went through. It's a tough road, dogs, it's not for the average joe! The payoffs are huge, but you gotta be really meant for this. Again, I want to thank all the guys and gals here, I want to thank Doctor Quest and his boys, but there's 3 particular people I want to thank…..ME, MYSELF, AND I! Hahaha thanks guys!"
(VIP Ballin Resumes)
"You see, Vanessa?" Mark said, "Can't judge a book by it's covers"
"No you can't, and I give Lightning all the credit for being honest, but there's some things that can't be changed" Vanessa said.
Lightning bumped his chest and pointed to the crowd as he headed backstage to join AndrAIa.
*Backstage*
Muscle Man, Kevin Levin, and Raimundo are seen hanging together in the locker room when Legendary Sports Reporter Craig Graham Sager Sr. appeared to a good helping of loud cheers (RIP Craig Sager Sr.).
"Gentlemen! How are you doing this evening" Craig asked.
The trio gasped and quickly got their feet.
"Craig Sager! Hot Damn, can't believe you're here!" Kevin commented.
"In the flesh! It was time I expanded more in sports and I thought giving AWE a try" Craig answered, "So, you boys got one hell of a defining moment tonight, Titans X against The Resistance! Classic Good vs. Evil, you got a lot writing on this match, and we're talking the possible future of the Fiction Wrestling Multiverse, you have any thoughts going into this?"
Raimundo stepped up to answer, to a wave a cheers.
"So many" Raimundo answered, "Too many to go through in a single night, aside from the Rookie Revolution, you have the most destructive, sinister, bunch of darkness looking to drag not just us, but each wrestling company in the Multiverse to Hell and Beyond. You have hundreds of thousands of people counting on us to put a stop to this. You have people hoping for us to stop Slade, Darkness Incarnate from reaching the light of good. And thing is, I know, WE ALL know that this won't be the last time we'll face 'Them'. How do you stop a Tsunami of Evil from wiping everything that is good in the world? That's what we're here for, we'll die trying to stop them, for everyone's sake"
Craig took a moment to take in everything and smile.
"Well boys, it's been a pleasure speaking with you, and I'm looking forward to spending my time here in the AWE, now let's get back to the action!" Craig said.
*Ring*
"Wow! Craig Sager! The King of Sports Reporting!" Mark was completely taken back, "The surprises just keep on coming!"
"Craig Sager known for his expertise in interviewing a variety of players, especially in the NBA where he is more known for his interviews with San Antonio Spurs' Headcoach, Gregg Popovich" Vanessa chimed in, "It'll be an honor working with him here in the AWE"
The camera panned around the around for a few seconds, the crowd cheering for Mr. Sager and others.
(Monster by Jim Johnston Plays)
The cheers were quickly overtaken with loud thunderous boos as Matrix made his way on stage.
"Damn!" Mark commented, "Talk about mood killer!"
*Bell Rings*
"This next contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing The Resistance, he is MAAAAAATRIX!" Ape Trully announced.
Matrix stopped on stage for a brief moment to look over at the rookies at ringside, some of them were taken back, intimidated as they were the first to experience Matrix before his move to the main roster.
"Matrix, as you can see, glaring over to the AWT&T Rookies at ringside, cannot forget Matrix spent some time in Developmental along with the likes of the Wario Brothers before being called up personally by our CEO Squilliam Fancyson" Vanessa explained.
"The Rowdyruff Boys, who had not made any appearance for AWE until appearing on the main roster, joined the flock, I don't think they'd last long in Developmental given their attitude in general" Mark added.
Matrix made his way to the ring, not giving any mind to any other people. He stepped into the ring, the ref and Ape Trully stepping back. He stretched a bit before taking a stand in the center of the ring, awaiting Lin Chung. There was a long minute as the crowd began to chant for Lin Chung.
"Maaaan, I can feel the intensity already.." Mark said.
(My Fight by From Ashes To New Plays)
Spotlights shined centered stage where Lin Chung is seen meditating, to loud cheers from the crowd. As the song started, Lin Chung leapt up to his feet with quick agility.
(Come on, get up!) GET UP, GET UP, GET UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!
I'M A SHOW YOU EVERYTHING I'VE GOT INSIIIIIDE!
I WON'T GIVE UP, GIVE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!
NEVER BACKING DOWN, THIS IS MYYYY FIIIIIIGHT!
(Come on!)
"And his opponent! Now hailing from the Ko Phi Phi Island of Thailand! Representing Titans X! LIIIIIIIIIIIIIN CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNG!" Ape Trully announced happily as the crowd grew louder with cheers.
"A resounding welcome back from the fans, HOLY SHIT!" Mark taken back by the loud crowd.
"Lin Chung made a shocking return a few weeks ago after a brief period of isolation to recollect himself, reason why we aren't entirely sure, but we're glad he's back" Vanessa explained.
How do you live, when every finger's pointing in your face? GET UP, GET UP, GET UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!
How do you give your heart to something only you embrace?
How do you put your mind to something that you love?
When you were growing up everyone told you that you weren't good enough?
Good enough would work for me!
Instead of love you hurt me deep!
Broke my trust and watched me bleed!
Ignored my pleas and squashed my dreams!
Everything hiding underneath is coming out for you to see!
The screams kept hidden down beneath!
A broken spirit, are finally free!
I'M A SHOW YOU EVERYTHING I'VE GOT INSIIIIIDE!
I WON'T GIVE UP, GIVE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!
NEVER BACKING DOWN, THIS IS MYYYY FIIIIIIGHT!
Everything we do in life has got to be for something.
I won't go down without a fight, no I won't die for nothing.
You held me under too long. I see a coming end.
Take back your hand, you're not my friend; to me you're fucking dead!
All the things you did and do showed me the colors inside you,
I now know all your hidden truths. If I were you, shit, I'd lie, too!
It's my turn now, I'll burn you down, nowhere to run and hide for you.
It's tried and true, and I'll get through. I'll watch your spirit die in you.
Lin Chung slid into the ring and got up to his feet, immediately getting up in Matrix's face. The ref stepped up to try and put some distance between the two. Matrix sending a death glare, Lin Chung showing no emotion or reaction to him.
"Whoa! I didn't peg Lin Chung to get straight up in Matrix's grill" Mark said.
"Neither did I, but you got to think of what's at stake, the reason why the two are in the ring in the first place" Vanessa said, "Lin Chung saved Robin from a possible life-threatening attack from The Resistance"
The ref managed to get the two the take a few steps back away from each other. He checked the two for any foreign objects and was about to start the match until Ape Trully ran back up to ringside from the timekeepers table, waving his arms.
"A Quick Moment of the time!" Ape Trully called out through the mic, "I've just received a high priority message from the Higher Ups at AWE Headquarters! For the entirety of this match, should ANY member of Titans X or The Resistance find themselves at ringside, THEY'LL BE IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM THE TEAM MATCH LATER TONIGHT!"
"There we go! That's some quick thinking from the Board!" Mark said.
"And much needed" Vanessa added.
"Furthermore!" Ape Trully continued, "Should ALL members of either team be at ringside, they will be disqualified from the Team Match and the opposing team be awarded the victor. And FINALLY! If BOTH Teams should show up at ringside during this team, BOTH Teams will be Suspended!"
"And The Ban Hammer has been raised!" Mark said.
"Incredibly High Punishment that should keep namely The Resistance away during this match" Vanessa said.
Both men showed no visible sign of concern, taking their eyes of Ape Trully and back to each other. Ape Trully bowed before returning back. The ref checked the two again and called for the bell to ring to start.
*Bell Rings*
Matrix and Lin Chung quickly lock up dead center in the ring as the crowd lefts off a quick cheer. Lin Chung dropped down on his back while locked with Matrix. He used his knees to toss Matrix backward, back first onto the mat. Matrix released his hold on the lock, allowing Lin Chung to spin and lock him in a Cross Armbreaker.
"Power against Agility; Brawn against Brilliance" Vanessa said, "It's safe to say we'll be seeing poetry in motion as we watch how Lin Chung performs"
"Matrix is a big, strong, scary man" Mark said, "Who's going to give first?"
The ref got down to his knee beside Matrix, checking on him as Lin Chung cinches in the Armbreaker. Matrix curses as he regains himself as he begins to roll toward Lin Chung. Lin Chung begins to slowly be lifted up leg first as Matrix uses his left arm to reach for his right hand.
"How would you rate going for the arms first over legs against someone big on strength?" Mark asked.
"It's on par, taking out his arms would be straight up removing his ability to use his strength, taking out his legs would make it very difficult to use his strength" Vanessa answered.
Matrix manages to grab his right hand. He then quickly lifted Lin Chung up with scary strength.
"And Matrix! So scary how much he can take and how strong he can be" Vanessa said.
Lin Chung hooked his legs around Matrix, holding on as he tried to put more pressure. Matrix grunted as he hoisted him higher, then dropping Lin Chung down backfirst in a makeshift Powerbomb.
"And Matrix with a Powerbomb to Lin Chung!" Mark said.
Both Matrix and Lin Chung held on as Matrix lifted Lin Chung up again. He turned and Powerbombed Lin Chung back first into the top turnbuckle. Lin Chung yelled in pain real quick, releasing his hold on Matrix. Matrix sat Lin Chung on the top turnbuckle for a moment, lifting him up a final time, turning to Powerbomb him on the mat one last time. Lin Chung managed to counter and DDT Matrix.
"Matrix going for the hat trick, and Lin Chung! COUTNERS into a DDT!" Mark said.
Lin Chung picks himself up as Matrix holds his head in pain. Lin Chung runs to the ropes, jumps onto the middle and backflips off, landing a leg drop on Matrix's head before covering him for a pin.

2.10" the ref counts but Matrix kicks out.
Lin Chung sits up and looks down at Matrix, then goes to apply the Breath of Life (Figure Four Necklock).
"Only a 2 count, and now Lin Chung with the Breath of Life" Vanessa said.
"Ironic that the name of the move is Breath of Life, but it's meant to constrict airflow" Mark said.
The ref asks Matrix if he wants to give up, but Matrix answers with a loud scary 'NO'. Matrix slowly begins to pull Lin Chung's legs apart, but Lin Chung holds on. Matrix then begins to roll himself and Lin Chung facedown. Matrix manages to roll them both, with seconds going by, and slowly gets on his knees. Matrix grunts and soon plants his right foot onto the mat, but it's the only thing he can do for now as Lin Chung keeps the hold and applies more pressure.
After a minute, Matrix uses his strength to deadlift Lin Chung up and get his other foot onto the mat. It wasn't long before Matrix has Lin Chung on his shoulders, but still in the Breath of Life. Matrix then pried Lin Chung's legs apart just enough to turn his head to face him. Lin Chung still kept the hold, but not for long AS MATRIX SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH THE GLITCH (Sitout Powerbomb).
"Matrix pulls off The Glitch! He pulls off The Glitch! How the hell did he do that!?' Mark asked.
"When you got a will equally as strong as Matrix, there's a way" Vanessa said.
Matrix covers Lin Chung for the pin.

Matrix pushes Lin Chung away and climbs to his feet, taking a moment to strength his neck and take a quick breather. He sees Lin Chung get to his feet and nails him with a Clothesline. A few seconds go by and Matrix hits him a 2nd time with a Clothesline. Matrix looks down and takes a deep breath, watching as Lin Chung get up, but a bit slower than before. Matrix yells as he nails Lin Chung with a 3rd and final Clothesline that nearly turns Lin Chung inside out, Lin Chung falling on his head and shoulder.
"OH! Matrix with the big clotheslines and it looked like Lin Chung landed very awkwardly on the 3rd" Vanessa said.
"That isn't good with Matrix now in control" Mark said.
Matrix takes a breath as he watched the ref walk over and check on Lin Chung. With his right thumb, Matrix signals the near end by drawing an X on his left cheek. Matrix stomps over to Lin Chung, the ref stumbling back, and picks him up. Matrix Irishwhips Lin Chung to the ropes. After bouncing off, Lin Chung is thrown up like a small child by Matrix and is nailed with The ReBoot!
"AND MATRIX WITH A BIG REBOOT!" Mark said.
"It can't possibly end so quickly" Vanessa wondered.
Matrix hooks Lin Chung's leg for the pin.

2.9" the ref counted, but Lin Chung makes a surprise break by hooking Matrix around the neck with his legs.
"Lin Chung still show life!" Mark said, in shock.
Matrix frantically escapes the hold as Lin Chung kicks up to his feet. Lin Chung then dropkicks Matrix in the knees, dropping him face first onto the mat. As Matrix gets to a knee, face in his hands, Lin Chung runs and uses the ropes to propel himself forward and hit Matrix with a Spinning Heel Kick that sends the big man stumbling back and into the corner.
"Man! Can you believe the resiliency of Lin Chung?!" Mark asked, mouth agape.
"This is what his hiatus was all about, this is how he improved" Vanessa explained.
Matrix has a clear bloody nose as Lin Chung makes a run toward him. Matrix performs a tactical combat roll out of the way, prompting Lin Chung to leap onto the top turnbuckle. Matrix turns back to see Lin Chung backflip off the top turnbuckle and hit him with the Soul Center (Shooting Star into Hurricarana Pin) for the cover!
"A PERFECT SOUL CENTER!" Mark shouted.

GET UP, GET UP, GET UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!
I'M A SHOW YOU EVERYTHING I'VE GOT INSIIIIIDE!
I WON'T GIVE UP, GIVE UUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!
NEVER BACKING DOWN, THIS IS MYYYY FIIIIIIGHT!
"LIN CHUNG GETS THE WIN! LIN CHUNG GETS THE SURPRISE UPSET!" Mark shouted, arms raised in the air.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" Vanessa asked, completely stunned.
"HERE IS YOUR WINNER! LIIIIIIIIIIIN CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNG!" Ape Trully announced as the crowd popped to their feet in cheers.
Everything we do in life has got to be for something.
I won't go down without a fight, no I won't die for nothing.
You held me under too long. I see a coming end.
Take back your hand, you're not my friend; to me you're fucking dead!
All the things you did and do showed me the colors inside you,
I now know all your hidden truths. If I were you, shit, I'd lie, too!
It's my turn now, I'll burn you down, nowhere to run and hide for you.
It's tried and true, and I'll get through. I'll watch your spirit die in you.
Lin Chung rolls out of the ring as Matrix scrambles to his feet and looks around in confusion. He confronts the ref as he is quickly informed about the 3-count, the ref leaving the ring for his own safety. Matrix turns and sees Lin Chung at the ramp. Lin Chung, hair in his face, cracks a cheeky grin.
"What a comeback from Lin Chung!" Mark said, "I didn't think he would catch such an effective second wind and completely turn this around!"
"None of us, including Matrix, knew what Lin Chung would be capable of returning from his hiatus" Vanessa said, "He has shown stunning resiliency against Matrix's power! And we cannot forget to give Matrix some credit, had Lin Chung not catch him by surprise and get the win, I'm sure he would had no problem dealing out more damage. Matrix is nowhere near a pushover, he could've bring some serious pain"
"With this win, Lin Chung surely gave the rest of Titans X a major boost" Mark stated, "Could we see a clean sweep of The Resistance tonight?"

The matchcard for Titans X vs. The Resistance is shown.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, later tonight, just one of our main events" Vanessa explained, "It'll be Raimundo Pedrosa, Ace Bunny and Rev Runner, Former Tag Team Champions Muscle Man and Kevin E Levin, with the leader of Titans X, Robin leading the fight against the Wario Brothers, The Rowdyruff Boys, with their leader Slade, The Resistance. And like my partner said, Lin Chung's win over Co-Leader of The Resistance Matrix should really give Robin and the others an edge over The Resistance"

Wait...please wait for meeeeeeeeee, yeeaah!
Confetti blows by the screen and the matchcard now shows Bling to the Max vs. The Lone Rangers for the AWE Tag Team Championship.
"Speaking of Tag Team Champions, the 2nd main event will feature a rematch as The Lone Rangers look to take back the Tag Team titles they were conned out of the titles back at Recall thanks to a paid off official, who I might add, is no longer an AWE Referee" Mark said.

Confetti covers the screen again and the 3rd and final main event is shown. Johnny Test vs. Yang for the Intercontinental Championship.
"And our match of the night, is AWE Intercontinental Champion Johnny Test, defending against Yang of all people" Vanessa showing a slight hint of disgust saying that.
"Like or not, babe, Yang was owed a title shot" Mark pointed out, "Yang covered for his sister for reasons outside his control, and couldn't make what was on that night a scheduled Fatal Four-Way for the title, but he had to be dropped"
"Well, conditions aside, we also know that whoever wins this match will face Scout for it at Wrestlebration following his victory at the start of the show" Vanessa said, "Anyways, Ladies and Gentlemen, earlier tonight we took a look back at one of the cornerstones of Animated Wrestling Entertainment, Hong Kong Phooey, the first Intercontinental Champion, right now we step out of the ring and look towards commentary as we remember the man, or I should say, bear who soothed the tensions in the air by just speaking, he is the coolest cat on commentary, he is Barry Bear"
*Tribute Video Plays*
The video starts off by showing the first commentators of AWE, Mike the TV, and Barry Bear, of course, kicking off the start of a show.
"WEEELCOME TO ANOTHER ACTION PACKED NIGHT OF AWE, LADIES AND GENTS! MIIIIIIKE THE TV HERE ALONG WITH THE COOLEST CAT OF COMMENTARY, BIG BARRY BLUES BEAR!" Mike the TV doing his trademark loud greeting to the camera.
"Heeeeeeeeeeey!" Barry greeted, waving to the camera.
"Like, Barry, he was THE very figure of cool" the voice of AWE Alumni, Shaggy Rogers comments "You take a look in the dictionary and find his picture next to the word 'Cool'"
Barry is seen in-ring, playing the piano, and singing a song he does to entertain the crowd on a busy night. Roses are thrown for him, leaving a small, perfect pile around him and the piano. The video then cuts to Barry and Betty Boop performing a Duet on AWE's biggest show of the year before being named Wrestlebration.
"Barry always loved to entertain the fans, but could really only do it on commentary, singing only a line or two" Rancid is heard saying, "He wasn't a fighter, but I wanted to give him a chance to showcase his talent, I had only just found out about his talent with playing the piano when I gave him the go ahead to hop in the ring during a slow night, and when I heard his first solo, I just knew he would be big in more ways than one"
The video switches to Barry and close friend Norbert Beaver perform a jazz session, Barry playing the violin instead of a piano. They received a standing ovation as the bowed to the crowd.
"Barry had incredible singing, but he also knew how to tell excellent jokes and hilarious stories, hehehe" Former 4-Time AWE Champion, and fellow Alumni Race Bannon is heard chuckling.
Barry is seen sitting in a large, purple beanbag with a mic in hand, telling some funny stories to the crowd, making them laugh.
"And here I am, chatting with my buddy Yogi, hearing about how creative he gets with stealing picnic baskets and such, and I couldn't help but laugh" Barry was telling, "I stop and he asks me, 'Well then, Barry, baby, does a hotshot like have a special talent?'. And this is before I starting my singing and piano hobby. I look at him and gave him a straight answer, 'Of course I have talent, baby! I'm really good in bed…'
Barry gives a wink and chuckles, that prompts some female whistles.
"I tell him I'm good in bed" Barry explains, "And then I tell him 'Sometimes I sleep more than 9 hours in one go' HAHAHAHA!
Barry leans back, giving a hearty laugh, as the crowd lets out a loud, resounding laugh as well.
Cyborg is shown laughing, wiping a tear from his eye. "Ahhhh man, it cracks me up everytime I see him telling that joke….oh man, that's why I love that big guy, he can make a stormy day the greatest day ever"
"Without a doubt, Barry will always be one of the most loved big guy and one of the greatest commentators in Wrestling History" Vanessa is heard saying, "I'll always look forward to working with him whenever he feels like getting back on the mic"
*Tribute Video Ends*
The show resumes with Steve and Oktavia and their respective podiums on stage. Steve starts off this time with Oktavia presenting last.
"Barry Bear, one of the greatest voices in wrestling history" Steve commented, "Barry, if you're watching this, big guy, if you ever want to step behind the table with Mark and Vanessa, just give us a call, it will be an honor to have you back again."
The crowd claps, cheering for Barry as Steve looks down at his podium, ready to present the next addition.
"Wrestling isn't just about showcasing your own talents, and is not just a solo thing" Steve began, "We have seen plenty of wonderful and exciting tag teams in this business and entertain the fans. It is teamwork that helped built this company and is one of the reasons that have made this company great. I'll be introducing not just one guy, but two, a team that has brought with them a will to help others and entertain everyone, they're really good in this business, as superheroes….meeeeeeeeeeeeeh. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome AWE's newest 'Super' Tag Team, X-Ray and Vav!"
(X-Ray and Vav Intro Plays)
The lights shined on the duo as they both shot to their feet cheering, hugging and bumping chests. They rushed from the seating area, nearly toppling over a few empty chairs at the end, and made their way up to the stage.
"One of the most UNPREDICTABLE tag teams that have set foot in the ring" Vanessa said, "And that's saying something"
"Every match with them is like watching a totally different version of, well, them" Mark said, "They're entertaining as hell, funny as hell, and I'm sure will fit quite well in the AWE"
X-Ray nearly knocks over Steve with a big hug, they both laugh as X-Ray apologizes and shakes his hand, followed by Vav. The two shake hands with Oktavia and head over to Dr. Quest to receive their Diploma Belts, these two a variation replica of the Tag Team Titles. They took the podium together, with X-Ray speaking first.
"HOLY SHIT! I can't believe we made the big leagues! WOOO!" X-Ray chanted, raising his arms in the air, "This right here is a child's lifelong dream come true! Besides helping people and becoming a superhero, I always wanted to become a wrestler! And NOW! I CAN DO ALL THREE! IT'S A TRIFECTA!"
X-Ray stepped back, 'Wooing' again as Vav took the mic, "Before my partner forgets, we do want to thank the lads and gents behind AWE for giving us a chance, and we want to thank all the new friends we've made during our training, it was a pleasure, and it will be a pleasure to entertain the fans! Thank you!"
(X-Ray and Vav Theme Resumes)
X-Ray took a moment to raise his Diploma Belt in the middle of the stage before Vav ushered him backstage. Oktavia goes to his podium to present next.
"Welp" Oktavia starts, "Taking a page from Steve, I too will be presenting a pair of rookies to the roster. But these ladies aren't 'rookies', no sir, far from it. These ladies are one of, if not, the most badass chicks I've met. I'd recommend even the guys watch out for these two. Don't let their looks distract you, they will bring the pain, Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome to AWE, The Sirens, Maya and Lilith"

The lights shined on Maya and Lilith still sitting in their seats, legs crossed. They smirked and got up, making some of the guys move back a bit. They made their way to the stage as loud whistles and cheers are heard.
"This is what I'm talking about!" Vanessa commented, "Changing the name from Animated to Attitude! It's going to be great seeing these two set so many standards"
"I really do hope they'll stick to taking charge of the Women's Division.." Mark said, worried, "These two really really scare me…"
"Now that's a change, hmmm" Vanessa said, smiling.
The duo made their way on stage and stopped in front of Steve, they eye him from the bottom up and give him a smirk. Steve couldn't help but flash a weak, nervous smile and offer up a handshake. Maya is the first to accept…and pulls Steve into a deep, surprising kiss on the lips. Steve is completely taken back, Maya preventing him from stumbling back. Oktavia quickly put his clenched hand against his mouth, hiding a laugh as he looks away.
"WHOA!" Mark shouted, "Hello!"
Maya released the kiss as she gives Steve a wink. Steve just standing, completely frozen, eyes agape, and a hint of Maya's blue lipstick on his face. Lilith followed up with a kiss of her own. The two shake Oktavia's hand and walk over to accept their revised version of the Tag Team Diploma Belts from Dr. Quest.
Maya and Lilith both walk up to the podium and said just a short single sentence, "We're going to have a wonderful time~!"
(Hands of the Wicked Resumes Playing)
They strut off as Oktavia splashes a bit of water in Steve's face to snap him back to normal. Oktavia couldn't help but chuckle as Steve laughed nervously and stumbled to the back, Oktavia following behind.
*Backstage*
Yang is seen having watched Steve and Oktavia present the next rookies. Yang finished a bottle of water as Danger Duck came up behind him.
"Yo! You ready for later tonight?" Danger asked.
"I can't concentrate about tonight because of this lucky son-of-a-bitch still having the time of the life.." Yang said.
"Yang, man, can you give this beef between you and Steve a rest, just for tonight?" Danger pleaded, "It's gonna fuck with your mind during the match! It's one-on-one, you and Johnny!"
"I would've already been Intercontinental Champion if it hadn't been for him!" Yang turned to Danger, "This is a pity offering he gave just so he can believe he's above me! UUUUGH!"
Yang walks over and tries to drink from an empty water bottle, he looks at the bottle and tosses it across the room. He then looks at the door and goes to leave.
"I need some air" Yang said, closing the door. Danger let out a breath of concern, running a hand through his head.
*Commercial*
*Commercial Ends*
The show resumes, as a 6-Woman Tag Team match between the Team of Cindy Vortex, Kimiko, and Lexi facing against Raven, Argent and Jinx representing The Sirens.
During the match, however, a cameraman was following Yang walking through the back, and coming up to the AWE Production's set. Yang looked around, seeing if the coast was clear and walked up and knocked on the door to the set. A man with large headphones on opened the door to see who it was. The cameraman caught Yang talking with the man, the man shaking his head. Yang then handed him something and told him something. A minute later the man let him in.
The match had gone a few minutes as Jinx held Kimiko in a headlock. Kimiko tries on a few occasions to get to her feet, but Jinx would lift her up and slam her down back first, all the while still lynching in the headlock. During all this, Lexi began to inch herself ever so closely over the top rope, reaching pointlessly for Kimiko. Jinx stops the hold and tries to go for a cheap shot on her, but Lexi planned ahead and dropped down to the floor, taunting Jinx and pointing at her.
With the ref and Jinx distracted, Raven hopped down and made her way towards Lexi's side. The ref caught sight of Raven approached and ran up to the ropes near her, shouting at her to return to the corner. Lexi prepared herself for Raven, Cindy joining behind her. Raven stopped in her tracks, expressionless staring at Lexi and Cindy as Argent came to bring her back to their corner.
Lexi shouted something at the two, and at Jinx, the formers escorting themselves back to their side of the ring. Jinx turned back to continue the attack on Kimiko. Jinx reached down to grab Kimiko by the hair, but was surprised as Kimiko clutched her hand. Kimiko then kicked both of her legs up, her right leg hooking Jinx's head, the left leg hooking under the arm, and pulled Jinx down into an Armbreaker.
"Things starting to heat up between the two teams" Mark said, "And Kimiko with the surprise move into an Armbreaker on Jinx!
"It's not the only thing heating up" Vanessa said, "I was just told that Yang has made his way into the production truck"
"The production truck? The fuck kind of business does he have there?" Mark asked.
"I don't know, but I can bet you it's NOT good" Vanessa answered.
As both teams returned onto their respective aprons, Jinx began flailing her legs and free arm as Kimiko began torqueing the other arm. Jinx tried pulling herself and Kimiko towards Argent and Raven with her legs. Raven walked over to a vacant corner to shout out towards Lexi, Lexi took a step towards the same corner before the ref walked over and kept her back. While this is going on, Argent stepped in and grabbed a hold of Jinx's legs and began pulling her towards her corner.
Kimiko released the hold and rolled backwards onto her feet. She jumped right over Jinx and dropkicked Argent in the face, sending her over the top rope. Kimiko saw Raven off to the side and baseball slid into her legs, knocking Raven off the apron. Behind her, Jinx had rolled to the side and pulled herself up with her good arm using the ropes. Kimiko turned and went after her. Jinx goes for the surprise Badluck Kiss, but Kimiko matrixes away from it. Kimiko then tries going for Blazing Fame, but Jinx reverses it and now has Kimiko up, read for Out-of-Luck. Kimiko makes the final escape and flips forward, flipping Jinx back into a Sitout Pin.
"Badluck Kiss? No! Blazing Fame? Nope! Out-of-Luck? HELL NO!" Mark shouts, "Just a bunch of counters!...and Kimiko with the sitout pin!"
The ref makes the count as Raven and Argent make a run to break it up.
"1!

2!

3! Ring the be-!" the ref counted, calling for the bell, but gets cut off.
*Bell Rings*
Kimiko's theme doesn't even get a chance to resume playing as Raven and Argent jump on Kimiko. Lexi and Cindy come in for the rescue and it's an all-out catfight. Cindy tackles Raven, the two rolling out of the ring and onto the floor, Jinx and Lexi battle it out in the ring, and Argent and Kimiko roll back and forth on the mat.
"And the fangs and claws are flying out now!" Mark shouted.
"It's 3 on 3, but you bet it's going to be uneven in a- "Vanessa begins to say before a blackout occurs, "And cue blackout!
The lights come back on in a matter of seconds and the trio of Kimiko, Cindy, and Lexi are left alone with their foes nowhere in sight.
"Well it looks like the girls of night frights have taken their leave for now! But man are the girls heating things up!" Mark said.
"Indeed they are, the Women's Championship remains the primary story, but a secondary, and perhaps an equally heated reason is dominate control of the Women's Division" Vanessa stated, "But Ladies and Gentlemen, the women's division wasn't always one of the bigger stories of today. Back then, the women's division was seen as just your average cruiserweight or extra entertainment, the women's title didn't mean much at all, if anything. Hell, even the story building to the divisions' FIRST champion was only a footnote, it was barely advertised, it was barely mentioned, and despite the work put in from the women of yesterday, there wasn't much to see. That is, until one young go-getter really turned things around. From part-time announcer and reporter, to part-time wrestler and First Womens Champion! Ladies and gentlemen, this is the One-Woman-Wonder, this…is Treeflower"
*Tribute Video Plays*
The video plays with Treeflower briefly joining Mike the TV and Barry Bear at commentary at the start of a show. Treeflower is nervously brushing hair out of her face.
"Oh you look fine, darling!" Mike the TV commented, using one of this fashion model accents.
"Ooooh…I know" Treeflower commented, finally getting her hair right, "It's just that normally I give a little time to myself to get ready and this was so sudden"
"You go when you're ready, baby, the people are ready whenever you are!" Barry comforted Treeflower.
"Oh Barryyyy….wait, WE'RE ON!?" Treeflower said, shocked as she looked into the camera.
"Treeflower is such a sweetheart!" Nazz commented, "You can NEVER be mad or anything at her!"
"Hi Everyone! This is Treeflower! Hehe! Joining the commentary team!" Treeflower greeted, "And here to welcome me is the Big Barry Bear and Mike the Marvelous TV!"
The video cuts to Treeflower backstage with one of her memorable moments as a Reporter as she somehow catches her hair in an old fashioned microphone. Then tag team champions, Doug and Skeeter feeling a combination of shyness, guilt, and laughter.
"Who on earth made these hazardous microphones! I swear some reporter is going to lose an eye!" Treeflower complained, "I'm already losing my hair over this!"
"That poor girl" Leshawna commented, "Whenever something bad happens to her, it's live and on air"
Video then switched to what was named one the most shocking moment in sports entertainment. Treeflower was interviewing one of the competitors for the women's royal to crown the first ever Womens Champion, then top heel of the womens division, Natasha Fatale, when Natasha made a comment about Treeflower's lack thereof of courage to fight back. Treeflower had made a comment saying how she could imagine being in the battle royal. Treeflower, as fed up with Natasha's attitude as everyone else back then, lashed back with some comments that were bleeped out, with comments directing at Natasha's wardrobe.
"UGH! How DARE You!" Natasha shouted in digust before splashing Treeflower in the face with some wine she is always seen while not competing drinking.
Treeflower dropped the microphone and began frantically rubbing her eyes, using her shirt too to try and clean the wine. Natasha then struck her with a vicious slap to the face that sent poor Treeflower stumbling backward and onto the floor. The arena immediately erupted in a flurry of boos.
"Come on, Man! That was uncalled for!" Barry said, mad at what he just saw.
"The comments made were uncalled for" Mike the TV corrected, "But THAT right there was despicable!"
"What that woman did to poor Treeflower" Barry Bear commented, "It was a game changer for things to come…"
The Women's Battle Royal was ready to start when then CEO Rancid Rabbit interrupted things.
"Ladies, ladies" Rancid halted things, "Sorry for the brief interruption, you see, theres been a small change to the match.."
"A small change?" Mike the TV asked.
"This change heavily convinced me to add her to the match, despite having little to Nooo experience in Wrestling" Rancid explained, "So without further ado, ladies, make room for the Seed of the Women's Division, Treeeeeflower!"
With the announcement came a surprising thundering of cheers from the crowd, the confused reactions from the rest of the women, and a shocking, angry one from one Natasha. With Natasha's reaction came Treeflower, appearing on stage clothed in wrestling gear suited for her.
The video cut to the final two women in the battle royal, those two being Natasha, and Treeflower. Treeflower was physically exhausted, more so than Natasha. Natasha was hunched over, facing one of the corners, while Treeflower laid on her back just under the ropes behind Natasha.
"It is down to these two women, these two ladies who are fighting to make history as the first ever Women's Champion in Animated Wrestling History" Mike the TV said.
"My girl Treeflower has went up and beyond and has put up all she got and then some, I just hope she can finish Natasha off" Barry said.
Natasha gathered herself and walked over to Treeflower. She picked her up and leaned her against the ropes, half shoving Treeflower in the face, half slapping her. Natasha picked Treeflower and dumped her over the ropes, but Treeflower managed to drop back first onto the apron. Natasha began trying to kick Treeflower off before reaching through the ropes and pulling her up to her feet. Natasha made the fatal error, though, of reaching over the top rope to grab Treeflower by the hair. Treeflower then headbutted Natasha in the gut and used her head to flip Natasha over the ropes and down to the flower. Treeflower then fell forward through the ropes and onto the mat as the crowd erupted in cheers and the bell ringing.
*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Your winner, and the First Ever Animated Wrestling Women's Champion! Treeeeflower!" Baloo the Bear, then new announcer said.
"OH BABY YES!" Barry shouted, "Little Treeflower did it!"
"Unbelievable!" Mike the TV shouted, "Ladies and Gentlemen, you have just witnessed history! In her first ever match, Treeflower has become this company's first ever champion in the Womens Division!"
"What Treeflower accomplished was revolutionized Womens Wrestling" Cindy Vortex said, "She helped fueled all sorts of changes, and influenced a lot of young women to do what they always dreamed of doing"
*Tribute Video Ends*
Steve and Oktavia are back on stage at their respective podiums. Oktavia keeps glancing over at Steve who has a small cold towel draped on his head. Oktavia couldn't help but chuckle, his chuckle clearly picked up through the mic.
"Steve, are you sure you're good to do this right now?" Oktavia asked, grinning.
"Trust me, I wouldn't come out if I wasn't" Steve said, looking over at Oktavia still smiling.
"Hehe, well ladies and gentlemen, much like what Treeflower accomplished, anyone can accomplish anything if they put their mind into it" Oktavia began speaking, "Your newborn child could become one of the best presidents of the United States, they could be the first person to set foot on a planet outside our Solar System, they can the next best anything. Don't judge a person before you see firsthand what they are capable of, the same goes for our rookies in waiting. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome The Mechromancer, Gaige!
(Light A Fire by Jim Johnston Plays)
You better hold on tight!
Cause I'm gonna love you nice!
I'm gonna do it right!
Let me light a fire in you tonight!
My eyes have never seen someone who looks like you
I wonder if you dream of my hands loving you
Because I know I do every day and every night
And I know I'll lose control if I can't crush this appetite
This dream is eating me alive
This dream is eating me alive
Can't you see I'm burning up inside?
I pray I will not be denied
Let's light a fire tonight
Let's play the music loud
Let's expand the flames up high
Let's burn it to the ground
You better hold on tight!
Cause I'm gonna love you nice!
I'm gonna do it right!
Let me light a fire in you tonight!
The lights shined on Gaige who jumped to her feet and raised her arm in the air. She made her way to the stage.
"We've seen her before here and she has spunk, more than anybody I've ever met" Mark said.
"She has a lot of potential, and she'll take on anyone, man or woman!" Vanessa said.
She nearly takes down Steve with a hug, and barely moves Oktavia. Gaige then runs straight into the back without ever going up to say anything.
"Boy, she's excited" Mark laughed.
"Too excited for any words" Vanessa agreed.
Steve brushed off the sudden surprise hug and headed to his podium.
"Taken to account everything Oktavia said' Steve began, "We don't know the future, we don't know who will become AWE Champion, or Womens Champion, or Tag Team Champion. Only the wrestlers themselves can dictate how far they'll reach. The biggest mystery is this next man, this next individual who has surprised us on different levels, but this man, I know has even more hidden potential that can be unleashed at any time. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Mogar!"
(Citizen Soldier by 3 Doors Down Plays)
Beyond the boundaries of your city's lights, On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care, When there are people crying in the streets, On that day when you need your brothers and sisters to care, There... there... there...
Stand the heroes waiting for your cries.
So many times you did not bring this on yourself,
When that moment finally comes,
I'll be there to help.
I'll be right here.
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We'll always be ready because we will always be there.
When they're starving for a meal to eat,
When they simply need a place to make their beds,
Right here underneath my wing,
You can rest your head.
I'll be right here!
Citizen soldiers holding the light for the ones that we guide from the dark of despair.
Standing on guard for the ones that we sheltered,
We'll always be ready because we will always be there...
Mogar sat in an isolated chair in the corner then stood up when he heard his name called. As he made his way to the stage, some of the rookies were careful to back away a bit.
"This guy, definitely the biggest wild card of the bunch" Mark said, "Emphasis on 'Wild'"
"Mogar has been portrayed as having no fear at all, and does put himself on equal ground with others" Vanessa explained, "I'm really eager to see what he can do"
Mogar walked up and shook hands with both Steve and Oktavia before proceeding to the back, no words to say either.
"Mogar definitely not the talker, that's for sure' Mark said, "He'll be a man of action for su-"
"HEAR YE! HEAR YE!" a voice echoed throughout the arena.
"What in the world?" Mark asked.
On stage, a small little man appeared with a scroll in hand. The crowd couldn't help but chuckle a bit at the little guy.
"Ladies and Gentlemen!" the little man began, "It is with great pleasure to introduce to you, the one who will truly lead the Women's Division to the top, the one who will bring royalty back to the ring! Please welcome, Queen Blackfire!"
(Broken by Dale Oliver Plays)
The crowd is a very mix of cheers and boos as Blackfire, dressed in her attire as Queen of Tamaran. She swayed her hair before making her way down the ramp.
"Queen Blackfire! Well, this is quite the surprise! A fellow being of royalty! As Prince of Yugopotamia, I'm sure she and I can have a 'talk'" Mark chuckled.
"UUGH" Vanessa muttered.
Blackfire entered the ring and took in some of the cheers, and bowing from some of the fans. She smirked as she twirled the microphone in her hand. Finally, she raised the mic and began to speak.
"Soooo" Blackfire spoke, "Did you miss me? Hehe"
As Blackfire smiled at the crowd, a loud sound of magic and whistling is heard as multiple streams of green fireworks flew from the ceiling of the arena to the stage, setting off several green colored pyro. The crowd went gasped and cheered at this sudden event, expecting something to happen. The arena went dark and so went the crowd on their feet.

Spotlights shined on a figure standing above the stage set.
"What the hell!?" Mark shouted.
The figure jumped off, front flipping several times before landing on their feet. The figure was none other than Starfire!
"I-IT'S STARFIRE!" Mark shouted.
The crowd went crazy at Starfire's sudden return, interrupting Blackfire's somewhat return as well. Blackfire looked overwhelmingly shocked at her sister's return. The right side of Starfire's hair was her usual, long orange, the left side of her hair, however, was neon green, short with short bangs. She was wearing black cropped long sleeve fishnet mesh with a black top underneath, a dark purplish skirt, her usual knee high dark purple boots with a bit of neon green stockings peeking out above the boots.
Need a heavy track to hold my mind down! Come on!

"Starfire! With a unique and pretty damn awesome change of look!" Vanessa commented.
"And what a way to return! Interrupting her own sister's 'Ascension' into Royalty!" Mark said.
Need a heavy track to hold my mind down!
Break Orbit! Break Orbit!
The little rich kids,
Because I'm twisted!
Br Br Brea Br Brea Br Break Break Orbit!
GO!
Starfire leapt onto the apron and flipped forward, performing an extended handstand on the ropes before dropping down inside the ring on her feet. She walked around the ring, jumping onto the top ropes of the two opposite turnbuckles with ease before gracefully flipping backwards onto her feet again, all while Blackfire was clapping, hiding anger and frustration. Starfire then walked around and stopped, back to the stage, and staring down Blackfire as the music dies down.
Blackfire's claps were still a bit audible through the mic, but what was really going through were the cheers and synchronized clapping from the crowd. Blackfire was the first to stop and began to speak.
"Oh my darling sister! My dear sweet baby sister!" Blackfire somewhat teased, "This is a very surprising Return of events! If I had known you'd be coming back I would have arranged everything to make you feel more welcomed!"
Starfire just looked at her with a small smirk. Blackfire knew she wasn't buying any of her pampering but continued anyway.
"Oh my! Where have my manners gone?' Blackfire turned her head to look towards the commentary area, "Could my little sister get a mic?"
Ape Trully came up to give Blackfire a mic. Blackfire kindly handed Starfire the mic.
"I do hope the travel wasn't too bad!" Blackfire chuckled.
Starfire sighed and began to finally speak.
"My dearest Eldest Sister!..." Starfire began, "…You are so full of it!"
Starfire was no longer new to English language as she was before, she now clearly understands it like a normal person would. This took Blackfire back and got the crowd cheering a bit.
"Every single person, and me without a doubt, remembers that night you put me out!" Starfire continued, "Exactly why you did it, well, there can be a lot of reasons for that. You got tired of the attention I was getting and since you had just started, you decided to take it upon yourself to see it that NOBODY would see me for a long time. You could've been simply making a statement, a statement that involves taking out your own sibling, which would surely send the message. Or it could be that you couldn't stand to be the side bitch you are."
The crowd went wild, whistling and cheering as Blackfire struggled with all her inner self to hold back the urge to attack. Blackfire, however, somehow managed to hold everything back.
"Buuut, taking each scenario into consideration" Starfire continued, "Despite whatever reason you could've had, I just wanted to say that no matter what you did, why you did, I would always forgive you…."
Blackfire quickly brought the mic up to blatantly ask, "Forgive me?"
"Yes…forgive you" Starfire replied, "But I would never forget "
Starfire immediately nailed Blackfire square in the middle of the forehead with a hard head-butt. The head-butt broke the crown Blackfire was wearing, leaving BOTH sisters drawing blood on the same spot. Blackfire staggered back while Starfire held her ground, letting the blood drip. As Blackfire stopped herself, Starfire ran at her and leapt in the air. Starfire put her legs back, landing her knees on Blackfire's shoulders and taking her down to the mat. Starfire then began throwing down fists on Blackfire's cut as the crowd went crazy.
"OH! Here we go!" Mark shouted.
"Forgive but never forget!" Vanessa repeated what Starfire said.
The AWT&T rookies left their seats and rushed down the ramp. Blackfire pushed Starfire off and rolled away, under the ropes towards the stage. Starfire got to her feet and ran towards the corner as Blackfire stood up on the apron. Starfire leapt onto the top turnbuckle and sent Blackfire flying into the oncoming rookies with Stardust Falls (Hurricarana from Top Turnbuckle)
"HURRICARANA! BLACKFIRE GOES FLYING INTO THE ROOKIES!" Mark shouted.
(Break Orbit Resumes)
Blackfire began getting her feet, pushing the rookies out of the way and walking back up the ramp, face stained with blood, and pure rage. Starfire taunted her all the way up the ramp as the crowd cheered.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, what a night this is turning out! And we still have PLENTY of more to come!" Mark began saying, "We have Titans X vs. The Resistance, we have the Tag Team Titles and Intercontinental Championship being defended!
"And up next" Vanessa began finishing, "It's a 6-Man Tables Match between Lamar Davis, Demoman, with leader Zak Saturday as The Syndicate taking on Renji, Matt, and AWE Extreme Champion, Mammoth as Hardcore Inc."
"I think it would be best that we have a spare commentary table waiting after this match, hehe" Mark chuckled.
*Backstage*
Nazz is seen eagerly waiting just outside Johnny Test's lockerroom, leaning left and right. She is bumped from behind by Leshawna who too seemed very anxious.
"AH! Oh, god! Leshawna! You scared me!" Nazz shouted, turning around.
"Sorry about that, baby girl" Leshawna apologized, "Wait…you're not hear to interview Bart Simpson are you?"
"Uh….noooo" Nazz said, her body language easily telling that she was lying "yeaaaaah…"
"Ah man! I had the same idea!" Leshawna said, "Okay, I think we can settle this. How about a quick round of Rock, Paper, Scissors?"
"Okay!" Nazz agreed, excited.
"1, 2, 3! 1, 2, 3! 1, 2, 3!" the two shouted in unison, starting a series of ties.
From behind the two, the door opened and out stepped Bart Simpson, topless, with a small towel around his head with his dreadlocks over the top of the towel. The crowd went absolutely INSANE.
"What's going on here?" Bart asked, looking at Nazz and Leshawna still playing RPS.
"Bart Simpson! Do you have a quick minute?" a voice asked, as Craig Sager walked up, the crowd cheering as loud as ever.
"Yo! Craig! Not a problem!" Bart said, "Anything for you, man"
"I'm very sure you feel right at home here in the AWE. But I want to get your honest view being here?" Craig asked.
"Well, CWF was where I was born and raised, but AWE is where I will be spending most of days, hehehe" Bart wittingly sang, laughing at the crack at Fresh Prince, "In all seriousness, AWE is home away from home, I belong here, everybody knows that I belong here"
"I'm sure you've met some of the faces here, what are your thoughts about them?" Craig asked.
"They're a cool bunch" Bart said, "All but a select few of course, heh"
"And lastly, What do you hope to accomplish?" Craig asked.
"I hope to get along with almost everyone here and maybe pocket a few title reigns here and there" Bart said.
"Alright then, thank you for your time! Heres to a long tenure here" Craig said, shaking Bart's hand.
"No problem" Bart said.
Craig walked away as Bart went back into his locker room. Right at that time, Nazz and Leshawna were getting tired of the series of ties.
"You know what? How about we BOTH interview him?" Leshawna suggested.
"I like that idea" Nazz agreed.
The two then turned around to wait, unaware that Bart had been interviewed already.
*Ring*
The crowd is on their feet as the camera goes around the arena, showing people with signs and such. The lights then dim as the crowd begins to settle in their seats.
(HellFire by CFO$ Plays)
The stage showed a full-sized image of DeGroot Keep as Demoman is flashed with spotlights, and doses himself in beer.
"HAVE AT 'EM, LADS!" Demoman yelled and began marching down the ramp.
*Bell Rings*
"This next contest, is a 6-Man TABLES Match!" Ape Trully announced, "In this contest, the way a team wins is to put only one of their opponents through a table. Introducing first, representing The Syndicate, he is Demoman!"
The crowd gives a hefty boo as rolls into the ring and gets to his feet, smirking.
"The hot head from Ullapool, Scotland, the heavy hitter and quite frankly the biggest threat representing the group known as The Syndicate, no offense to him and his battle scar, but if Mammoth and the others are to win this one, they have to keep a watchful eye on him or sure as hell be bulldozed into an awaiting table" Mark said.
"He is the Syndicate's wild card and potential game winner" Vanessa added, "You'll get a good edge if you can take him out sooner than later"

Lamar Davis and Zak Saturday appear on stage dressed in black cargo pants with a black blazers. On the back of their blazers was a black Stussy S with a red outline. They wore shades and fist bumped each other before making their way to the ring.
"And, introducing Demoman's partners, they are the rest of the Syndicate" Ape Trully continued, "They are Lamar Davis, and Zak SATURDAY!"
"Say what you want about them, they do not back down from a fight, if said fight was in their favor" Vanessa said.
"That's what opportunity is, and they don't hesitate to take it" Mark said, "Like it or not, it's what Zak says 'It's Just Our Business'"
"It's just business, and in a moment business is about to pick up as Jim Ross would say" Vanessa stated, "And these guys better be ready for it"
Lamar and Zak put their shades inside their jacket and hung their jackets on the ring posts as they high-fived Demoman and began talking. They soon notice something happening on stage and stopped.
On stage, what looked like a giant flatscreen began raising up in the middle of the stage, between where Steve's and Oktavia's podiums would be. The flatscreen then turned on and showed a Barren Wasteland. On the horizon a cloud a dust appeared and began to grow, growing in size and headed toward the screen. A gigantic prehistoric Mammoth is revealed to be the one creating the dust, and just as the Mammoth would hit the screen, the entire flatscreen shattered, the pieces falling on stage and loud music playing. Blowing through the flatscreen was the Extreme Champion himself! Mammoth!

Mammoth had ran through the entire flatscreen headfirst, somehow not cut open or bleeding profusely. Standing behind him to his sides were Matt and Renji. Matt was flashing a devilish smile while Renji hid away his face with a long white scarf.
"And their opponents! They are the team of Renji, Matt, and the AWE Extreme Champion, Mammoth. They are Hardknocks Incorporated!" Ape Trully announced.
"HERE WE GO!" Mark shouted, "You want to talk business? You want to talk getting to the point? These guys are the point! Hardknocks Inc! That's what their business is all about!"
"We can expect some major carnage" Vanessa pointed out, "Let's be ready in case things all go to hell"

When Mammoth and the others reached the bottom of the ramp, they quickly ran and slid into the ring, clashing with the members of the Syndicate in a brawl.
*Bell Rings*
It was Renji against Lamar, Mammoth against Demoman, and Matt against Zak. Matt and Zak took their fight through the crowd while the rest kept theirs in the ring. Mammoth clotheslined Demoman out of the ring and climbed out. The ref could not be bothered to break up the brawl between the hardcore men and just kept watch if someone was put through a table.
"Well, it looks like Matt and Zak will be taking their fight OUTSIDE the ring" Mark said, "Will this make the match just a regular Tornado Tag-Team Tables Match?"
"The ref can't be in multiple places at once" Vanessa stated.
Demoman went chest first into the commentators table, scaring Mark and Vanessa back. Mammoth reached under the ring and pulled out a table and held it up, waiting for Demoman. Once Demoman turned around, Mammoth hurled the table at him. Demoman's head was the first to make contact with the table, his skull leaving a noticeable dent in the wood of the table. The ref, however, did not see this as 'going through' a table.
"Oh My GOD! Was that pieces of wood or skull!?" Mark shouted.
"I wouldn't be surprised if it was both.." Vanessa said, covering her face.
Demoman fell back like a statue after the impact. Mammoth laughed to himself as he placed a foot where the dent in the table and pulled the table toward him from the top, breaking off a chunk of the table. Demoman was surprisingly able to pull himself to his feet a minute after the full table to the head. That would change when he stumbled around and, like a steel chair, Mammoth nailed Demoman square on the head with the chunk of the table, the chunk splitting perfectly in half as Demoman once again falls back like a rock. Mammoth then turned and looked up at the ref, telling him that he'd won.
"GOOD FUCKING HELL! Mammoth may have shattered Demoman's head!" Mark shouted, "And Mammoth is saying that he has won?! Would breaking a piece, or chunk, of a table over someone's head count as 'putting them through one'?"
"Ugghh" Vanessa tried forgetting the sound of the impact, "Technically the rule states you win by putting someone through a table, I don't know.."
The ref scratched his head and looked over at Ape Trully and asked him. Just as he was questioning him, Lamar came from behind and clotheslined the ref from behind over the top rope, knocking the official down to the floor.
"OH! And Lamar with the blatant, uncalled for attack on the ref!" Mark shouted, "He may have actually saved the match for themselves!"
Lamar laughed and cursed out the ref, but karma strikes as Renji turns him around and nails him with an R.K.O on a steel chair that was brought into the ring by one of them. Renji sits up and rubs his right shoulder as he hand landed on a rounded end of the chair. Mammoth tried sliding into the ring, but Demoman coughed him by the ankle and pulled him out enough to nail him in the head with a metal leg of the table chunk Mammoth hit him with.
"How in the HELL is Demoman still conscious after what happened?" Mark asked.
"He's a hard-headed Irish drunk, it's going to take a lot-OOOOHHH my god! Was a steel pipe!?" Vanessa asked.
"I think it was one of the legs from the table!" Mark answered.
Mammoth staggered back, knocking into the commentators table. Demoman dropped the metal leg and nailed him with the Scotsman Skullcutter. Mammoth went backwards knocking Mark over, and almost knocking Vanessa back.
"Oh SHI-!" Mark managed to say before being knocked back.
"Mark, are you alright?!" Vanessa called out.
A minute goes by before Mark pulls himself up, headset still on.
"Didn't see that coming!" Mark said, dusting himself off, "Am I still on?"
"You're good" Vanessa answered.
As Demoman recovered from what he went through, Renji pulled himself and stretched his shoulder as Lamar lay motionless, face down on the chair Renji had planted him on. Renji saw Demoman outside the ring and went for a baseball slide, nailing Demoman square in the back of the head and into the commentary table.
"I think it's best we clear the area just in case!" Mark suggested, stepping away from further harm.
Renji hopped down and grabbed the rest of the broken table and lifted it up. As Demoman turned to face him, Renji went at him with the table. Demoman thought ahead and kicked THROUGH the table and nailing Renji in the chest, knocking him back into the barricade. Renji immediately had a coughing fit, having the wind knocked out. Demoman began cursing at him and threatening him. Renji looked up at him with a glare, but then noticed something behind Demoman that made him smirk.
Behind Demoman, Mammoth had stood up from behind the commentators table and snorted like an angry bull. Mammoth looked down at the commentary table and cracked his neck before grabbing the commentary table, AND LIFTING THE WHOLE FUCKING THING UP!
"Good GOD ALMIGHTY!~~" Mark shouted, but his and Vanessa's headphones were ripped away from them as Mammoth began walking forward with the table weighing god knows how much.
Demoman caught Renji's smirk and turned his head slowly. His 'eye' widened, and mouth went agape as he stared at mammoth holding the commentary table. Renji shoved Demoman from behind towards him as Mammoth charged forward, swinging the top surface of the commentary table at him. The Table AND Demoman flew back as Renji made a narrow dive out of the way! The crowd in the surrounding area scattered as Demoman went through the barricade, the Commentary Table exploding into pieces on impact!
"HOLY FUCKIGN SHIT! HOLY FUCKING SHIT! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" the crowd chanted.
Mammoth dusted his hands off and went to help Renji up as the ref just managed to look up to see what had happened and called for the bell to ring as he remained on the floor.
*Bell Rings*
Some more officials came down to help the injured ref as Mammoth and Renji high-fived. One of the officials that came in went up to Ape Trully just before he was going to announce Hardknocks Inc. the winners. He began telling him something but Ape Trully could just shrug in confusion.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I have just been informed of something critical regarding this match..something that transpired in the back" Ape Trully began.
*Titantron*
The titantron showed two different feeds side by side. The left showed the moment before Mammoth and Renji teamed up to take out Demoman, the right showing Matt and Zak fighting backstage. Matt and Zak were fighting on a platform just above an open dumpster. The video played as Matt had kicked Zak in the gut to go for the High Tide Slam. Right at that time Mammoth had grabbed the commentators table and walked up behind Demoman. Matt was just about to lift Zak but he was nailed from behind by Phanto! Zak took this opportunity to flip Matt forward and into the dumpster just before Renji and Mammoth put Demoman through the commentary table, and the barricade.
The cameraman ran up to the dumpster and climbed up and looked inside. Inside the dumpster lay Matt…on top of a broken table.
*Titantron Ends*
The crowd was booing loudly after being shown that, Mammoth had his hands on his head in frustration as Renji looked away completely ashamed.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, as you can see, Matt was the first to be put through the table mere seconds before Demoman.." Ape Trully continued, "Therefor, your winners of this match, The Syndicate"
(Return of the Ronin Resumes)
As Mammoth and Renji grasped what had happened, Zak Saturday had returned with Phanto to help Demoman up and Lamar out of the ring and take their leave. Zak grinned at Mammoth and Renji the whole way out of the arena. Mark and Vanessa managed to get back on mic to commentate.
"So, wait" Mark said, adjusting the headset, "Zak managed to get a last second win?!"
"With the help of Phanto, unfortunately" Vanessa said, "Zak and Matt went off on their own as the others were fighting here in the ring"
*Backstage*
The Lone Rangers were getting ready for their match when a loud, quick knock at the door interrupted them.
"Lone Rangers, you're up!" a voice called out.
"Damn, that time already? Bloody hell" Christian said, walking over to grab his hat from a chair, "You ready Clay?"
"Hell yeah" Clay said, standing up.
As the two walked to the door, Clay grabbed his hat from a hanger as Christian waited at the door.
"Hey, got a place we can head over to after the show, Jameson's Shack, got some sweet eats that'll put a sting on your tongue" Clay said.
"Sounds like a night" Christian smiled.
Christian opened the door and were immediately ambushed by two figures in blue jumpsuits and black motorcycle helmets.
"Oh My God! What the hell?!" Vanessa shouted.
The two assailants began using everything in the locker-room to take down Clay and Christian. Christian tried quickly tossing a chair at the taller attacker but got their helmet, cracking the visor. The attacker then tackled Christian into the side of one of the open wooden lockers, going through it and another locker. They then grabbed Christian and threw them headfirst through the door leading into the shower.
Clay was winning his fight against the smaller attacker. He had him pinned on the floor and began throwing punches and tried pulling the helmet off. The attacker did everything they did to hold his helmet on when the other attacker grabbed the chair thrown by Christian and nailed Clay in the back. He threw the chair away as Clay got off the other, lurching back. The smaller attacker used his legs to push Clay off, with the taller one pulling and throwing Clay through the wall.
"Can someone get some help back there?!" Vanessa called out.
The taller attacker helped the smaller one and they both left in a haste, pushing away backstage officials rushing in. The officials called for help as they went to check on Christian and Clay.

The following contest, is our first Main Event of the Night!" Ape Trully announced, "And it is for the AWE Tag Team Champions! Introducing first, they are the Tag Team Champions, Bling Bling Boy and Montana Max 'Capital'!"
3B and Max both walked down the ramp, butlers at their side holding the Tag Team Belts on red pillows.
"So what's going to happen? This match can't still go on?" Mark asked.
"With what just happened literally a minute ago? Not a chance" Vanessa said.
I'm the best you can see!
I'm the best you can buy!
Money on the floor but it reached to the sky!
I..was..born a celebrity!
Pocket feeling like a one man treasury!
Ha! And it's all about your bank man
You're a one, I'm a Franklin!
You got no money!
That's a shame when I could spend a million before my private plane lands!
3B and Max wait patiently in the ring for the Lone Rangers to come out, but after a minute of nothing, it's apparent that they weren't going to make it. The crowd then began to get rowdy as the two attackers that assaulted Christian and Clay came from through the crowd and blindsighted the butlers. They grabbed the belts and rushed into the ring and nailed 3B and Max in the back of their heads, beginning their attack.
"What the hell?!" Mark asked, "Oh My God! They're here too!"
The smaller attacker went after Max while the taller tackled Eugene down to the mat. As the two teams fought each other, the crowd was in cheer mode, not caring who won this fight until..
The sound of a Horse whining is heard throughout the arena as the crowd went into crazy mode.

From the stage came the Lone Rangers CBS and Clay still showing signs of the attack they suffered. The attackers looked up and locked eyes with Christian and Clay, watching as the two made a dash down the ramp. Eugene and Max held the attackers long enough for Christian and Clay to take them down. Surprisingly, both the tag team champions AND challengers waived off their dispute to team up to fend off the attackers. During the scuffle, the taller attacker pushed Eugene out of the way and was met with a Lonestar Kick from Clay.
The kick completely SHATTERED the taller attacker's visor, exposing their eyes for a split second before they covered the hole and pulled the smaller one away from harm. The crowd cheered as the attackers hoped over the barricade and hightailed it out of the arena.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, you talk about first times, this will probably be the ONLY time you'll see the Lone Rangers and Bling to the Max work together" Mark said, "Just who were those attackers?"
"Whoever they were, they had a problem with BOTH the Lone Rangers AND Bling to the Max" Vanessa pointed out.
Several minutes pass as a replay of the brawls was shown. A doctor came out with several more officials to check up on the two teams. After much discussion, it is decided that the match continue to still go on. Clay and Max remained in the ring as Christian and Eugene step onto the apron.
*Bell Rings*
Clay and Max engage in a struggle, the aches from the attackers not showing as the two appear 100 Percent. It doesn't show there but it definitely shows as Max headbutts Clay. Clay lowers his head, almost going down to a knee trying to hold on. He shakes his head and regains his bearings as he struggles against Max. Clay grunts and then nails Max in the gut with a hard knee. Max shows the effects from the attack as he shouts and goes down on both knees. He grabs his waist with his right arm, Clay holding onto his left hand rather than Max holding on to him.
"Man, you have to give these two teams some credit" Mark said, "They're not going to let a unexpected attack stop this championship match"
"I agree, it's a damn shame we won't see the two teams at 100% tonight, but what are you going to do?" Vanessa wondered, "They certainly wouldn't want to disappoint the fans"
Clay clutches Max in an Abdominal Stretch and locks his arms. The stretch aggravates the pain from the attack and sends Max shouting in pain every few seconds. Max grunts and shouts as he begins to fight out of the hold. Eugene is cheering him on, and, surprisingly, a bit of the AWE Universe does as well. Max manages to get his other arm free, Clay still holding onto the other.
"Do you hear that?" Mark asked, "The crowd is getting in on the tag team champs!"
"Despite what they've deen leading up to tonight, it's irrelevant as the crowd is just wishing these two teams for the best they can put out, 100% or not" Vanessa said.
Max reaches up and grabs Clay by the head and pulls his head down. Pain in the neck from the attack is being aggravated and getting Clay to loosen up. Max gets his leg free and immediately rolls Clay into a pin!

The two scramble to their feet and butt heads on accident, sending the two back. Clay almost falls back but the ropes break his fall, prompting Christian to tag himself in. As Christian's view is cut, Max tags Eugene real quick and tells him to wait until Christian gets him. Clay bounces off the ropes and towards Max. Max then kicks him in the gut and hits the Max Capital (Double Underhook DDT) and goes for a fake pin, knowing neither of them were the legal men.
"Max with the Max Capital!" Mark shouted, "I think he's setting Christian up for a trap when he gets in!"
Christian falls for the trap and grabs Max off of Clay. Christian then hits him with the D.U.H "Down Under Heel" (Rolling Cutter). As Christian gets back up to his feet, Eugene comes in from behind and turns him around. Eugene then grabs around and slams Christian with the B4 (Bling Bling Belly-to-Belly Suplex). Eugene covers him for the pin as Max and Clay roll off out of the ring.

Eugene sits up and pounds the mat with his fists, throwing a fit after a near fall. Eugene gets up and picks Christian up, but Christian awaits with the Aussie Handle (Straightjacket Crossface), using his weight to lynch the hold on Eugene.
"And Christian with the Straightjacket Crossface! The Aussie Handle!" Mark said.
Outside the ring, Max picks himself up with the apron. He sees Eugene in trouble and tries to go in and help…but he is pulled out at the last second by the tall attacker and thrown face first into the steel post!
"OH MY GOD! THEY"RE BACK!" Mark shouted.
"HOW HAVEN"T THEY BEEN CAUGHT AND ARRESTED?!" Vanessa asked.
The smaller attacker appears on the apron and gets the refs and Christian's attention. Christian throws Eugene off and gets to his feet and glares at the attacker. The attacker just looks at him, rethinking everything and quickly steps down off the apron. Eugene gets to his feet and tries shaking off the hold, but is knocked out by a Lonestar Kick from Clay!
"LONESTAR KICK!" Mark shouted.
"But Clay isn't the legal man!" Vanessa said.
"A turn of events?!" Mark questioned.
Christian hears the que from behind and turns around to grab Eugene from behind and nail the D.U.H! Christian calls the ref and covers Eugene for the pin!

"NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! OH GOD!~" Mark shouted but stopped as the attackers jump on Clay and Christian.
Christian and Clay are quick to fight back, managing to hold them off. The crowd is still cheering after the surprise win. Max recovers and realizes he lost. In a fit of anger, Max grabs a steel chair and charges in. He nails Clay in the back, surprising the attackers. Max completely ignores the attackers and goes straight to stomping on Clay's back. Christian pushes the attackers away to try and help, but Max jams the top of the chair into Christian's gut and nails him in the back as well.
"And Max just targeting Clay and Christian! He's not even paying any mind to the two assailants!" Mark said.
The two attackers just looked at each other, but then jump on Max together and continue their assault. They paid no mind to Eugene knocked out until…
(Ready for War by Adelitas Way Plays)
From the back came Ace Bunny and Rev Runner to help! The crowd is on their feet as they are quick to slide into the ring. The taller attacker turns around and runs into a Collision Course from Rev, Ace nailing a German Suplex on the smaller one. The two slid out of the ring and leave the arena, being followed by security.
"Finally! Ace and Rev to the rescue!" Mark said, "Oh man! That was chaotic! And I almost forgot! Clay and Christian are now 2-Time Tag Team Champions!"
"A plethora of questions now arise, some might have to wait like what does this mean in terms of the tag team titles? Will there be a 3rd match to end it all at Wrestlebration? Will it involve Ace and Rev? And will it involve whoever was behind the attacks?!" Vanessa wondered, "We'll find out soon enough!"
*Backstage*
The Resistance were in a dark room, surrounded by a device that shined a projection of Vlad Masters, the device gave the room a satanic red aura as Vlad spoke.
"We all know what's important here, gentlemen" Vlad said, his voice distorted slightly by the projection, "Tonight is not where it ends…Tonight is where the darkness infects into the unknown…where it sits, and waits until the moment is right…this won't be the first time we fight the light…we'll fight it at Wrestlebration where I guarantee everyone will lose hope…"
"We don't need mindless slaves…" Matrix spoke up, "We don't need a police force, or an army…that would imply they're fighting for something…"
"WE'RE HERE TO JUST FIGHT!" Brick shouted.
The boys began talking loudly over the group while Wario and Waluigi shake their heads. Vlad notices Matrix looking over into the back of the shadows. In the back where the dark red still reveals all stood Slade….unmasked….his true face graciously protected by the darkness.
"Mr. Wilson, your mask….I'm quite surprised you expose yourself so soon…" Vlad said.
Slade took a step forward, the darkness still guarding his identity, and what seemed like black smoke coming out from where his mouth would be. What can only be seen is his eye that EVERYONE knew and saw.
"I have seen some…interesting…images that will come to reality…" Slade said, "They're now burned into my mind…"
"What do you see?" Matrix asked.
"I see myself crucified on stage…yet no life taken from me…" Slade began, "I see myself on the receiving end of Armageddon….yet I come out more alive than ever….I see myself in my own personal hell….but not my own maker…"
The boys shut up after hearing Slade speaking. The group watch as Slade holds his mask in his hands, looking into the inside of it.
I see…the very people that live to protect the good take a blood oath…to serve one nation…." Slade said, then put on the mask "….under evil"
The light from the projection revealed the front of the mask. The camera then cut to black.
*Stage*
Steve and Oktavia are back on stage, but at Steve's podium.
"Ladies and gentlemen, before we continue with our 2nd Main Event and the remaining Men and Women that will be promoted to the Main Roster, I want to congratulate a rookie who was chosen to become a member of a foreign wrestling company, this man exceeded far past our expectations and has set the bar for excellency setting a company record with a perfect winning streak" Steve explained, "This man out of his time with has gone without losing a single match whether it be singles competition or one of a different category, ladies and gentlemen, join me as we applaud the accomplishment of this man and wish him the very best in his future endeavors, AWE will ALWAYS welcome if he wishes to make his debut on our main roster, ladies and gentlemen, Marric Fisher"
(Invasion by Christian Poulet and Jean-Yves Rigo Plays)
An image of Marric is shown on the titantron along with a highlight of his time in the Developmental Territory. Marric is seen wearing a futuristic robotic suit as he trains. The suit retracts and disappears seemingly behind Marric, revealing the dark skinned man in a black muscle shirt. The highlight show captured the dominate performances Marric put on against all of his opponents, including spearing the Ultimate Heavyweight, Pound of the Monstars.
"Vanessa, I don't know what else to describe this guy.." Mark said, "I mean, BOTH of us saw what power he had, and you saw how fucking HUGE Pound was compared to him!"
"I could spend an entire day looking through the dictionary to find all the right words to describe him" Vanessa said, "This guy just GLOWS perfection! And when you have multiple companies wanting this guy a part of their roster, THAT is saying something"
The montage continued for a good minute, everyone clapping for the guy until the video was cut rather short and abruptly. Steve and Oktavia were looking at something on the podium when the crowd started to boo slightly. They looked up at the crowd then up at the titantron to see it gone black.
"Was that it?" Steve's voice is faintly heard as the mic was away from them. Steve turned to Oktavia who got with staff using an earpiece.
A video then began to play on the titantron, cutting off several times as it struggled to load. It finally stopped and began playing a video.
*Titantron*
Steve is shown with a white towel over his head as a local cameraman comes up to him, like the two knew each other well.
"So Steve, what is going on?" the cameraman asked, his tone suggested he already knew but was recording for other purposes.
"Well…." Steve began, "Weeeee just got done wrapping up my Muscle and Fitness Photoshoot…this will be a part of one of this special biography, you know, how they did videos about Ric Flair, his career, almost dying in a plane crash and such. I mean, it was no way an easy road getting back to health and everything"
"It looks like you got some admirers" the cameraman, zooming in slighty to some female onlookers in the back of the set.
"I have a feeling I'll be getting a whole lot more" Steve said, turning away, blushing a bit.
"What about the shoot for explicitly private terms?" the cameraman asked, laughing.
"That will NEVER see the light of public" Steve said with confidence.
It is then that the screen went black and the text "That's what you think :P" is shown in bright white letters.
(Move Your Body by My Darkest Days Plays)
Video plays of Steve's private explicit photo shoot plays.
"You good Steve?" the main photographer asked.
"Yeah" Steve's voice calls out.
The cameraman turns to see Steve, topless, drenched, and standing in front of a small square table with a pair of tight jeans unbuttoned and opened.
You, you're hotter than a cherry on a cigarette
Bet every dollar mom's a model but you're better yet
Just twenty one out on the run and turning every head
Your body's built just like a weapon and you're using it
The photographer began taking pictures as Steve posed. Steve then leaned forward, grabbing to the edges of the table, his hair getting in his face.
Back on stage, Steve is mortified as he watched what he believed to be something not meant for public viewing. Oktavia could only stand, hand over his mouth, not believing. The crowd, practically all the female attendees, began whistling and taking whatever pictures they can. The rookies watched on, some of them, including the MonStars, laughing through it while a few girls tried looking away.
But the devil can hear you when you say
The video switched to the photoshoot set changed to a beachside, outdoor gym. Steve was now dressed in black track shorts and black shoes. He was in the middle of a pushup, holding himself up as the camera took several pics. The video switched to Steve sitting against a large yoga ball, legs apart, hair in his face as he gave the camera an alluring glare.
C'mon and get up (get up)
Move your body, use your body
Lose control
Rub it right up (back up)
Against my body
Take my body; make it yours (so get up)
We're gonna light this room on fire
Yeah you and I will burn it up tonight (so get up)
The two of us are gonna fuel this fire
No way in hell we're slowing down tonight
Several still shots of Steve are shown, including one where he has broken the surface of a pool, hunched back, appearing to shout at the sky with his arms pumped.
The video continued as Steve is now sitting on stage, hands clenching his hair, in complete disbelief. Oktavia is on his earpiece trying to get the video to stop. The sound of the crowd, mainly the girls, cheering grew louder by the minute.
Backstage, The Syndicate were laughing up a storm as they watched the whole thing on the interview area flatscreen. Kevin Levin and Muscle Man are seen trying their hardest not to laugh. Raimundo, Bart Simpson, and Johnny Test are seen scratching their heads, feeling the embarrassment Steve must be having. The girls, well, they were ALL huddled together watching the whole thing, quiet, not saying a word, almost ALL of them red in the face.
You want me tapping on your back door
You've got me tapping on your back door, baby
I've got you acting like you want more
Now that I'm tapping on your back door, baby
But the devil can hear you when you say
C'mon and get up (get up)
Move your body, use your body
Lose control
Rub it right up (back up)
Against my body
Take my body; make it yours (so get up)
We're gonna light this room on fire
Yeah you and I will burn it up tonight (so get up)
The two of us are gonna fuel this fire
No way in hell we're slowing down tonight
The video switches now to footage of what appears to be a mist. A figure appears through the mist, walking towards the camera in slow motion. As the figure gets closer, it's made obvious it's Steve still…but this time instead of shorts or pants, he's in nothing but a towel. He's looking down, hair blocking any view of his face. As soon as the camera gets a clear look, Steve stops then slowly snaps his head back, getting his hair out of his face. The video stops with Steve smirking as the video fades to black and the movie cuts.
The crowd is cheering loudly for Steve who now has his face buried in his arms, his arms resting on his knees. Oktavia is now pacing around, scratching his head, ashamed of himself as he regrets not getting the video pulled any sooner. Miss Pauling rushes out on stage, but sees she's too late. She adjusts her glasses as a few personnel join her, she then ushers them back, following them to the back.
Mark breaks the silence at the commentary table.
"I uh…well.." Mark couldn't think of anything to say.
The titantron comes back to show none other than the perpetrator, Yang, in a room. His appearance on the screen greeted by thunderous boos.
"Well Steve…" Yang smirked, "If I can't break you physically…I sure as hell can break you mentally…maybe next time you should rethink screwing me out of everything and embarrassing me"
Yang cuts the video short as the boos continue to bombard the walls of the arena. Oktavia, after giving Yang's video a glare, walked over to Steve. Steve quickly stood up and, without a word, walked off stage to the back. Oktavia called out to Steve, but was ignored and followed Steve backstage.
"Well then..well, for those watching at home wondering what just went down, something went down.." Mark said, "Something that was not planned or expected.."
"How about we don't talk about?" Vanessa suggested, red in the face as well, "We got our 2nd Main Event about to start"
"Right then" Mark said.
(Warriors by Imagine Dragons Plays)
As a child you would wait
And watch from far away.
But you always knew that you'd be the one
That work while they all play.
In youth you'd lay
Awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change,
But it was just a dream!
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town.
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust.
On the stage appeared 5 men in cloaks. Spotlights went around the arena and one by one stopped on each person. One by one they removed their hoods, the first being Ace Bunny, the second Rev Runner, followed by Muscle Man, Kevin Levin, and finally Raimundo Pedrosa. They stood in an X-Formation as the crowd cheered loudly for the group.
*Bell Rings*
"Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2nd Main Event of the evening! In this match, there is No Tagging in, No Disqualification and No Count Out! The first superstar to pin a member of the opposing team wins the match for their respective group! Introducing first, the team of Ace Bunny, Rev Runner, Muscle Man, Kevin Levin, and Raimundo Pedrosa!They are Titans X!" Ape Trully announced.
"This is a match that I've been waiting to see!" Mark said, "The match between Good and Evil! Between Light and Darkness!"
"But they lack one important member" Vanessa pointed out, "The one person who will lead this team.."
The music stops and the arena goes dark again.
(Another Me by Dale Oliver Plays)
Another me is what there will never be…..
Another life like this you'll never see…..
Another me is what there will never be
Another life like this you'll never see
Another day is all I think about
Equal we are when time runs out
Another memory I seem to be
In a lifelong game of monopoly
Another direct line I want to bend
Another form of disease I want to end….
I want to end….
A brighter light turned on and shined right in front of Titans X. Standing in front were Lin Chung and the one and only Robin!
Another day is all I think about
Equal we are when time runs out
Another memory I seem to be
In a lifelong game of monopoly
Thank you heavenly
For my health and history
If there comes a time
In which I die before I wake
I know my soul you will take care of
And guide through
Leaving earth to meet you.
"And introducing their Co-Leader! Accompanied by fellow Co-Leader of Titans X! He is the winner of the Breakout Rumble and #1 Contender to the AWE Championship, he is ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!" Ape Trully finished.
"This may well be our greatest weapon against the evil that is The Resistance" Mark said, "A Star-Studded Group that live and breathe to protect!"
"This may well be our last stand to prevent The Resistance from purging the Wrestling Multiverse of all that is right and good, and they will do everything they can to drag them back to hell" Vanessa said.
The group enter the ring and line up to face the ring to the roaring cheers of the crowd. Each member of Titans receiving chants until…
The arena goes dark as the sounds of chanting is heard, The Resistance logo is shown on the titantron with a fiery background as the group makes their way on stage, minus Slade. Matrix currently leads the group as they stop at the center of the stage. He gives Robin and the others a death glare as the chanting fades out. Smoke begins creeping out on stage and through the group of evil. The smoke then began to take the shape of a man in front of a man. The smoke then caught fire and instantly disappeared revealing Slade. There were burnt scars across his armor, but the most noticeable was the inverted pentacle cracked across Slade's entire Mask. The cracks a dark red, blending into the orange shaded side of Slade's Mask.
(The Vengeful One by Disturbed Plays)
He is observing the chaos, taking in the lack of raw humanity
It's as if the entire world's fallen in love with their insanity
Hear the innocent voices scream
As their tormentors laugh through all of it
No forgiveness from all I've seen
The degradation I cannot forget
So sleep soundly in your beds tonight
For judgement falls upon you at first light
I'm the hand of God
I'm the dark messiah
I'm the vengeful one
(Look inside and see what you're becoming)
In the blackest moment of a dying world
What have you become
(Look inside and see what you're becoming)
"And introducing their opponents, led by AWE Champion Slade Wilson, they are The Resistance" Ape Trully announced, the crowd in silence.
"The darkest omen I've seen.." Vanessa said.
"This isn't going to be pretty at all" Mark said.
The two factions meet face-to-face in the ring, staring each other down. There is a dark and tense feeling throughout the arena. The crowd is cheering as they watch the staredown. Everything kicked off when the Rowdyruff Boys jumped towards them, sparking a brawl.
*Bell Rings*
The only two not fighting at all were Robin and Slade. They both continued to glare at each other, not paying any mind to the others at all. The rest of group one by one got each other out of the ring. It isn't until Robin and Slade left in the ring until Slade began to raise his arms to the side. From out of nowhere, lightning struck all four ring posts!
"OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL!?" Mark shouted.
Immediately after the posts are struck, fire then began creeping from the posts on all ropes. In seconds the ropes were completely engulfed in fire!
"The ropes are on fire! They are on fire!" Vanessa screamed.
The fight between the two factions continued outside the ring as emergency crew rushed down with fire extinguishers. While avoiding getting in the middle of the fight, they begin to put out the fire. Thick black smoke soon covered the ring as many near the ring, including fans at ringside, began coughing from the smoke. The smoke then disappeared as if nothing had happened, but that wasn't the only disappearance, Robin and Slade were gone too!
"Th-They're gone!" Mark uttered staring into the empty ring.
"What the hell happened?!" Vanessa questioned.
Despite the fire nearly engulfing the ring, the ring itself appeared completely fine, no melted ropes, no burn marks, it was like nothing had happened to it!
Outside the ring, Wario tackled Kevin E Levin back first into the steps, then lift him up in a Bearhug. He then tossed Kevin through the bottom rope back into the ring, sliding in after him. Kevin rolls to the center of the ring and pushes himself up, favoring his back. Wario charges toward him but Kevin catches him off guard with the Cruise Control! The weight of Wario took a toll on Kevin's back as he remained on all fours to recover.
"Kevin, after taking the steel steps to the back, in trouble" Mark said, "AND THE CRUISE CONTROL TO THE SUPERHEAVYWEIGHT!"
As Kevin tries to push himself back up, Waluigi comes from behind and uses his back to push Kevin back down to the mat and backflip into the air. Waluigi then came back down on the back of Kevin's head with the Indigo Flip Leg drop. Waluigi kicks up to his feet and kicks Kevin in the back of the head for good measure before backing up into Samoan Drop from Muscle Man. Muscle Man then brings Kevin out of the ring for safety as the Wario Brothers scramble up to their feet.
"Kevin down now! And MUSCLE MAN! Planting Waluigi!" Mark said.
"And now the Wario Brothers are down!" Vanessa added.
Ace and Rev get into the ring and both lay out the brothers with a Dual Collision Course, sending them rolling out of the ring. Ace and Rev high five each other but soon come face to face with Boomer and Butch. The four get into a brief fight, Ace against Butch, Rev against Boomer, as the crowd is getting into this match. This fight lasts minutes as the two teams find themselves winded, center of the ring, Ace staring at Butch, Butch staring at Rev, Rev looking at Boomer, and Boomer eyeing Ace. They all looking at each other and then unanimously shrug before LANDING A SUPERKICK TO EACH OTHER IN A 4-WAY SUPERKICK!
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mark shouted.
"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" the crowd chanted.
The crowd continues to chant as the 4 lay motionless in the ring. Over a minute goes by as Ace, Butch, and Boomer slowly roll off to the side as Rev is completely knocked out in the center of the ring. Lin Chung and Matrix have watched, and have been watching, this entire match playout from ringside. They eye each other every so often before switching back to the ring. Matrix shouts something at someone and in seconds Brick is seen rolling into the ring and looking around at the carnage. He then sees Rev in the center of the ring. He looks up at Lin Chung and smirks before dropping down to his knees, then covering him for the pin.
"And here is the third brother, Brick, just to pick whats left" Vanessa said.
"There's something off.." Mark wondered.
The ref, after enduring what he has witness and seen, comes together and begins the count.
"1

.2.99" the ref counted, but before he could get to 3, Rev snaps to life and rolls out of the pin, JUST IN TIME FOR RAIMUNDO TO DROP ON BRICK WITH THE CYCLONE SPLASH!
"OH SHIT! WHAT THE HELL?! RAIMUNDO!" Mark shouted.
Raimundo is completely out of it as well, only having enough energy to hit the move as he now lays on top of Brick's lifeless body. The ref tried to grasp what just happened then makes the count.
"1

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Your winners! TITANS X!" Ape Trully announced as the crowd cheered heavily for the match.
Lin Chung gave Matrix a small smirk as he joined Muscle Man and Kevin who were helping Ace and Rev out of the ring. Raimundo slowly rolled himself out of the ring to join the others. Raimundo slowly sat up on the apron as Muscle Man and Kevin high fived him. On the other side of the ring, Matrix only glares at the group as Wario and Waluigi walk up to his side, each Rowdyruff Boy rolling out and dropping to the floor one by one. Matrix walks up to Ape Trully and grabs his mic and returns to the group to speak.
"Hey!" Matrix called out, not shouting, but just loud enough to get everyone's attention, Lin Chung and the others looked over to see what Matrix had to say, "We'll be seeing you again at Wrestlebration….may God watch you closely….because there is no doubt that we'll be closer than you think…."
Matrix dropped the mic right there as he led The Resistance down the side of the ramp into the back.
"Another ominous warning courtesy of Satan's Posse" Mark joked.
"I'm guessing we'll be getting a rematch at Wrestlebration 2 then?" Vanessa asked.
(Hey Superstar by Madina Lake Plays)
"Man! Speaking of Wrestlebration, AWE's Biggest Star-Studded Pay-Per-View, we're only a few weeks away and we can GUARANTEE that this will be a night to remember!" Mark said.
You're such a beautiful gift from above.
When I fell so hard in love, I knew I was dead
Because your taste of fame filled you up,
Then I became just optional,
'Cause I'm the idiot.
The matchcard animation for Wrestlebration 2 plays with the first match shown is Cindy Vortex vs. Ophelia Ramirez for the Women's Championship. The two are shown side by side posing before lightning strikes diagonally from the top left down to the bottom right. A close up of the girls is shown with Cindy Vortex on the bottom left section of the screen with Ophelia on the top right with the Women's Championship Belt in between the two
"As confirmed back in our Breakout Pay-Per-View, it'll be Cindy Vortex looking to win back-to-back Wrestlebrations and reclaim the Women's Title from Ophelia Ramirez" Mark said.
"Cindy knows how to do things big at Wrestlebration, can she become a 2-Time Women's Champion at our 2nd Wrestlebration? Ophelia, and ONLY Ophelia stands in her way, unless The Sirens have anything to say about that" Vanessa explained.
Hey Superstaaaaaaaaaa! So populaaaaaaaaaaar!
(When will you ever know?)
Nobody cares who you aaaaaaaaaaar!
Hey Superstaaaaaaaaaar! Don't try so haaaaaaaaaard!
(Maybe someday)
You'll see who you really aaaaaaaare!
The matchcard switched to Scout vs. Johnny Test/Yang for the Intercontinental Championship. The animation plays out again with Scout on the bottom left with Johnny and Yang sharing the top right, this time the Intercontinental Championship separating the two close-up shots.
"It was set at the start of the show, Scout will be competing for the Intercontinental Championship, but will it be against Johnny Test who just inching closer and closer to a year long reign, or Yang who looks to win back the title and defend it at the big show" Mark said.
"Well, after the stunt Yang pulled on our General Manger, I REALLY hope it isn't him" Vanessa said.
I'm such a hideous, ridiculous,
But honest and loyal misfit,
And I'm okay with it.
But you got swept up inside,
A new media whore,
Well then, I'm so over it.
A special matchcard is shown for Riddick vs. Donkey Kong. The card itself is like a wanted poster and is split down the middle instead of diagonally. Riddick and Donkey Kong are in two different frames, Riddick has 'Hunter' written under his shot with 'Hunted' under Donkey Kong.
"It's Game Time as we'll be witness the very first in Professional Wrestling History" Mark said, "A Hunter vs. Hunted match between Richard B. Riddick and Donkey Kong"
"This match will take place in a certain venue, there will be No Disqualification, weapons hidden throughout the area, there will be No Holds Barred, and there will be blood" Vanessa warned.
Hey Superstaaaaaaaaaa! So populaaaaaaaaaaar!
(When will you ever know?)
Nobody cares who you aaaaaaaaaaar!
Hey Superstaaaaaaaaaar! Don't try so haaaaaaaaaard!
(Maybe someday)
You'll see who you really aaaaaaaare!
The final matchcard for the moment is shown next but completely dark. Lightning flashes in the background revealing silhouettes of two faces. Lightning strikes the left side showing only Robin's face with a stormy skyline, another one strikes the right side revealing the Slade's face with a burning city in his background.
"And then we have our Main Event, Beyond Good and Evil, Control vs. Chaos, Robin vs. Slade for the AWE Championship" Mark said.
"And considering what happened with their sudden disappearance during the match we just had moments ago, just what will happen?" Vanessa said.
The music stops as the crowd cheers for the current matchcard. It isn't until Ape Trully interrupted the crowd that they stopped.
"Um, excuse me, Ladies and Gentlemen" Ape Trully, "I'm terribly sorry to say that due to unforeseen problems, the remaining graduating rookies will be unable to be featured tonight"
The crowd boos at this as Ape Trully tries to calm them down.
"The ceremony will conclude on the next Octane show" Ape Trully finished the announcement.
(Power by Kanye West Plays)
The crowd heat turns nuclear as Yang appears on stage, the biggest smirk on his face.
*Bell Rings*
"This Final Main Event is scheduled for one fall! And it is for the AWE Intercontinental Championship!" Ape Trully announced, "Introducing first, he is the challenger! Residing in Los Angeles, California, Yang!"
The entire arena was drowned out with thundering boos that Mark and Vanessa had trouble commenting.
"Well then!" Mark shouted, "For those of you watching at home! If you can hear right now, the crowd here in the arena, imagine this 2, probably 3 times louder!"
"And it's totally justified!" Vanessa pointed out, "Yang has gone out of his way to public humiliate our General Manager, I wouldn't be surprised that the 'unforeseen problems" Ape Trully mentioned was because of what he did"
Yang paced around the ring, taking in all the hate and even threats from the crowd. After a while he turns to face the stage with a smirk as he awaits his opponent.
"Let the Test Begin!" Johnny's voice is heard shouting.
(Never Gonna Stop Me by Rob Zombie Plays)
Yeah, I'm on Durango number 95!
Take me to the home, kick boots and ultra-live!
See heaven flash a horror show!
Knock it nice and smooth step back and watch it blow, YEAAAAAAAAAAH!
Never gonna stop meeeeee! Never gonna stop!
NEVER GONNA STOP MEEEEEEE! NEVER GONNA STOP!
Never gonna stop meeeeee! Never gonna stop!
NEVER GONNA STOP MEEEEEEE! NEVER GONNA STOP!
SCREAM IF YOU WANT IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! 'CAUSE I WANT MORE!
SCREAM IF YOU WANT IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT! 'CAUSE I WANT MORE!
Johnny Test ran on stage, to the outpour of cheers from the crowd! With the Intercontinental Title around his neck, Johnny came out in a smooth black leather jacket, black muscle shirt and smooth pants, his hair cool and wet.
"And his opponent, HE IS AWE'S INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION! HE IS JOHNNY TEST!" Ape Trully announced.
"This is what a champion looks like! This is how a champion should represent! Quite possibly one of the greatest champions in Fiction Wrestling this time!" Mark said.
"He is knocking on the door to the Longest Intercontinental Championship Reign, and he could shoot for Longest Title Reign ever if he feels like it!" Vanessa said.
Johnny entered the ring and immediately took his jacket off and tossed the title to the ref and came face to face with Yang. The two grinned at each, mouthing off at each other as the ref held the title up for a moment before handing it to Ape Trully to carry off. The ref separated the two and quickly called for the bell!
*Bell Rings*
The two quickly locked up and the crowd quickly got into chanting. Johnny slowly started getting the upper hand as he began to push Yang downward. Yang struggled, gritting his teeth and shouting as he drops to a knee. Johnny then, out of nowhere, pulled Yang up off his feet and threw him back first against the corner. Yang yelled out as he hit the turnbuckle, then onto his shoulder on the mat.
"There's your match, Yang, this is what you wanted, and Johnny is sure as hell ain't going to make it easy for you" Mark pointed out.
"Good" Vanessa commented.
Yang sat up against the corner as Johnny pointed a finger at him, and shouted something along the lines of "You're going to have to work for it" at him. Yang got to his feet, his usual smug look replaced with a mix of anger and disbelief. His expression went full anger as he quickly tackled Johnny down to the mat and began laying in some actual full on punches.
The ref himself broke protocol and pulled Yang off Johnny and pushed him aside. The ref got in his face and expressed that he'll be calling this match his own way as instructed by staff. Yang could only pushed the ref aside as he walked back over to Johnny. Johnny caught Yang off with a hard chop block to the back of his left knee, bringing him down. He then hooked Yang into a hard Sleeper hold that was just shy of being a choke hold.
"Oh now things are getting really rough!" Mark pointed out.
"Johnny is taking exception to the shit Yang has pulled as well" Vanessa said.
The ref pats Johnny on the shoulder to try and get him to ease up but gets no response. The ref then forcefully breaks the hold and pulls Johnny off Yang. Johnny rolls away and gets to his feet and questions the ref. From behind Johnny, Yang gets to his feet, coughing and gagging as he rubs his head. Yang grits his teeth and shoves Johnny in the back into the ref. Johnny looks down at the ref and quickly turns around to face Yang. Johnny curses him out and is shot back with a blatant lowblow kick.
"Oh My Fucking God! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" Vanessa shouted, "A BLATANT AS HELL LOWBLOW KICK!"
"Oooh man, I was expecting something like this to happen…" Mark said.
Yang climbed out of the ring and grabbed a mic from Ape Trully and got back into the ring. As Yang got close to Johnny, Johnny tried to kick him away but the pain keeps him under.
"Hurts, doesn't it?! Yeah, that's what I felt like when I was conned out of that Fatal Four-Way that I was supposed to win! That anger you feel now? That's exactly how I felt as our fucking General Manager guilt tripped me into bailing out my stupid ass sister for her dumbass mistakes!"
The crowd was still booing, but they were more shocked at Yang's comments. Yang noticed the crowd's sudden silence and called them out on it.
"OH! You're shocked huh?!" Yang asked, "Did you think me and my sister have been having a stable family relationship!? Fuck no! You see, before returning at Breakout after being hospitalized by a bunch of…Estrogen Overdosed Women, who, by the way, I sure as hell have not forgotten! Don't worry, the next series of magazines is coming! And it'll be available online too! Before I came back, what was my sister doing?! Making a jackass of herself! And now?! She'll be lucky to STILL have a contract with AWE!"
"What the hell, and WHERE the hell is all this coming from!?" Vanessa shouted.
"Your guess is as good as mine.." Mark said.
"There is no way in hell I'm letting you walking out as champion! Wrestlebration is MY show! MY sho-!" Yang began shouting but was interrupted by the ref who began aggressively shouting at him.
It was then after seconds of his shouting that Yang pushed the ref in the face down to the mat. Yang turned back to Johnny up against the corner, Johnny smirking at him.
"The fuck are you smiling at?" Yang asked.
That is when from behind, the ref tackled Yang from behind down the mat, Yang dropping the mic. The ref then reached behind him and pulled out a pair of handcuffs and began HANDCUFFING YANG!
"What the hell?! The ref is handcuffing Yang!" Vanessa watching in shock.
The crowd was in shock too, but began cheering as Yang is faintly heard though the mic in front of him. It is then that from backstage came men in black, high ranked security as one man remained on stage. The rest stopped at ringside as the ref held Yang down.
"what the fuck is going on?!" Yang is heard.
"Yeah! What is going on!?" Mark wondered.
"Mr. Yang" the man on stage spoke, "I'm sorry to bring this title match you feel you were owed to a stop…My name is Officer Kormin, and we have been given a warrant for your arrest…"
The crowd shoots to their feet in cheers and shock.
"PFWAH! ARREST?!" Mark asked.
"Did I hear that correctly?!" Vanessa asked.
"By request of Animated Wrestling Entertainment's Chief Operating Officer, Miss Pauling, you are hereby charged with Assault, and Public Humiliation of Animated Wrestling Entertainment's General Manager, Steve Jones" Officer Kormin announced, the crowd cheering.
Yang is in utter shock and disbelief, his faint cries of help barely audible. Johnny Test was given back his title by Ape Trully and exited the ring. He shouted at Yang "Good Luck" before walking back up the ramp.
"You can't do this!" Yang is barely heard as he is pushed into the awaiting arms of the security group.
Yang is escorted out of the ring and up the ramp as the crowd begins to chant "Na na na naaaa, Na na na naaaa, Hey hey heeeeeey! Goodbyyyyee!"
"I can't believe this is happening! Karma has struck with a vengeance! Yang is off to jail!" Mark said.
"Hallelujah!" Vanessa said.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! We are not down with our rookies! Tune in on the next Octane as we pick up where we left off! Take Care everyone! Goodnight!" Mark sounded off.
The crowd continues the chant as Yang is escorted up the stage. The logo for AWE is shown and the screen cuts to black as Yang is taken backstage.
