INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - HOLSTON, PENNSYLVANIA - EVENING
We are once again greeted by the opening chords of "Welcome to the Jungle" as we open up inside of the Steel Mill Auditorium in Holston, Pennsylvania. The overhead shot, which slowly descends upon the broadcast booth at ringside, reflects an arena that is filled to capacity and the crowd is electrifying.
We catch up at ringside with our familiar two-man crew of GUY REYNOLDS and JESSE BARNES.
JESSE BARNES
Hello everyone, I am Jesse Barnes, and along
with me as always is my good friend, Guy Reynolds.
Guy, have you ever seen Holston like this?
GUY REYNOLDS
Jesse, I have been around this town for a long time,
and this is not just any town, mind you-- this is Holston,
Pennsylvania, a town that is small in population but
grand in its love for wrestling. This town celebrates its
high school wrestling team like most communities
celebrate Christmas, and still, I've never seen this
town come alive quite like we have seen today.
JESSE BARNES
Indeed, Mayor Murdoch has declared the weekend a
cause for celebration. Things started off yesterday
with a parade in the center of town, and the festivities
have not shown any sign of stopping. Here are some
shots from earlier today as people have just flocked
to Holston, Pennsylvania in anticipation of Ascension.
GUY REYNOLDS
The people have sure shown up, and with
good cause. What a lineup we have tonight.
There are still some holes in the match-ups
due to some back stage turn of events, which
we will get to in a moment, folks, and it will be
interesting to see how Bobby McVeigh patches
things up. But the matches that stand are
matches for the ages, instant classics, including
Shawn Cage and Ian Wright, Jack Owyns and
Frost, and long awaited rematch between two
lifetime rivals, Carter Hayes and Damian Cole.
JESSE BARNES
I am excited, Guy, but as you said, before we
open things up, an update is in order. Evan
Wolfe-- out. Charlie Pavone-- out. These two
men have been released fro Wrestletown, and
that is in addition to the releases of Jack Evans,
Mariposa, and Desire from two weeks ago.
GUY REYNOLDS
Wrestlers are just dropping like flies around here.
JESSE BARNES
That they are, Guy. This announcement was made
by Dean Willard just this morning, when reporters
caught up with him during the festivities. Here is
what the founder and CEO of Wrestletown had to say.
DEAN WILLARD
Effective immediately, Evan Wolfe and Charlie
Pavone are no longer employed by Wrestletown.
They join the ranks of Jack Evans, Mariposa, and
Desire. Look, the bottom line, folks, is that we are
seeking to employ only those who want to be here,
those who are willing to put in the effort to make
themselves known to the public, those who go out
of their way to tell their story in front of a camera.
We are in the business of selling sport, but we are
also in the business of selling drama-- and those
seeking a career that consists of showing up,
wrestling a match, hopping in their car, and
disappearing until the next event-- there are
many promotions that you may call home-- but
you will not call Wrestletown your home.

We are back with Jesse Barnes and Guy Reynolds.
JESSE BARNES
Wow. Those are some harsh words
by the owner of Wrestletown.
GUY REYNOLDS
I don't know if I would call them harsh.
After all, Jesse, Dean Willard and the
entire Wrestletown staff is working
tirelessly to promote its product, and
it expects the same out of its wrestlers.
The question remains, however, how
does Bobby McVeigh fill the open slots,
and remember-- he still needs to fill the
void left by Jack Evans's departure-- an
opponent for Colton Woods in a match to
determine ownership of the Varsity Club.
JESSE BARNES
I am sure we will get some answers shortly,
but right now we are gonna get things underway,
and what better way to start things off than with
a title fight. This one, folks will determine the
first ever Television Champion-- its Bianca
Davis versus Rosalee Baker.
"I am here to class up this entire town,
to serve as a role model for all of
your young female population on how
to carry oneself in a sophisticated
and dignified manner."
"I'm going to put you down Bianca Davis,
just like I put down every girl that tried
to be a bully in this town before you."
Dean Willard, Wrestletown CEO
"This match between Bianca Davis and Rosalee Baker, this is more than a title fight. Bianca Davis has walked into Holston, Pennsylvania and disrespected an entire community-- a community that Rosalee Baker is very much apart of. On May 10, 2015, we are gonna see a clash of two different styles fro two women from two very different worlds. Trust me-- it is gonna get ugly!"

INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - THE SHOW: EPISODE TWO - RINGSIDE - LATER
Bianca having secured a victory over Priscilla Price, is strutting about the ring, celebrating another victory, prior to exiting the ring.
Out of nowhere, Rosalee Baker sneaks into the ring behind Bianca Davis. She is holding a box.
GUY REYNOLDS
What is she doing here, Jesse?
And what does she have in that
box? Are those...pastries?
Rosalee pulls out a large pastry, covered in frosting.
JESSE BARNES
Why yes it is!
Rosalee taps Bianca on the shoulder. Bianca turns around and Rosalee mashes the pastry into Bianca's face. Bianca hits the ground and Rosalee mounts Queen B, force feeding her the pastry to the delight of the fans.
"Aww, where have you been? Still getting fat off that
bakery food well if thats the case your going to need
all the lucky in the world. Because, yall don't stand
chance against me. I mean, its simple I am the Queen
B I have beaten the so called "best" in this company."

INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - RINGSIDE - PRESENT
Meadow Leigh is looking extra sexy this evening. She stands in the center of ring, mic in hand, ready to kick off the start of Ascension.
MEADOW LEIGH
The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and
it is for the Wrestletown Television Championship!
it is for the Wrestletown Television Championship!
Kelis's "Bossy" fills the arena, and here come the jeers. The fans are on their feet, hands cupped to their lips to amplify their boos.
MEADOW LEIGH
First, from Malibu, California, weighing
in at one hundred twenty pounds,
she is the Queen B, Bianca Davis!
in at one hundred twenty pounds,
she is the Queen B, Bianca Davis!
Bianca struts down the runway like a homecoming queen on a float, waving to her "fans," oblivious to the venom in their voices as they boo away.
Meanwhile, the distraction has allowed Rosalee Baker to get to her feet in the ring; and unbeknownst to Davis, Baker has take to the ropes; and as Davis finally comes to attention, it is too late, as Baker's suicide dive over the top rope takes out Davis on the outside-- triggering a "Holy Shit!" chant from the crowd!
JESSE BARNES
This might be it, folks. Bianca Davis is
putting her hands to her cheek, and that may
be a call for her patented Beauty Sleep!
JESSE BARNES
I have to say, nobody knows how to
get under the skin of the people of
Holston like the Queen B, Bianca Davis.
GUY REYNOLDS
I think she is completely misunderstood
and unappreciated. I mean, what has
she done except offer some constructive
criticism to the women of Holston?
Bianca steps into the ring and is blowing kisses to the crowd.
JESSE BARNES
Well there is one woman who is not gonna
take her patronizing and that is this woman...
JESSE BARNES
For get about intros, forget about the
bell, forget all about formalities and
decorum-- this one is under way!
As Daire tends to Kaitlin, Bianca rummages through her purse, pulling out Kaitlin's compact mirror. Bianca is checking for cuts or bruises. She gasps in horror from the swelling forming on her head. I have to say, nobody knows how to
get under the skin of the people of
Holston like the Queen B, Bianca Davis.

Rosalee Baker appears at the top of the runway and she looks on fire.
Propelled fro a large pop from her fellow Holstonites, or perhaps spurred on by the mere sight of Queen B in the ring, Rosalee Baker does not wait for a proper introduction, but rather sprints down the runway and slides into the ring.
MEADOW LEIGH
And her opponent...

JESSE BARNES

bell, forget all about formalities and
decorum-- this one is under way!
Bianca is able to get a few boots in on Rosalee as she slides into the ring, but Rosalee is too hyped up to be kept down and she makes her way to her feet. Davis and Baker are exchanging forearm shots, going back and forth, but it is the hometown girl with the advantage, staggering Queen B back against the ropes. Rosalee sends Davis across the ring, Davis hits the far ropes, bounces back, and it's Rosalee Baker with a huge back body drop that sends the Malibu sensation sailing through the air and crashing to the canvas back first!
JESSE BARNES
That looked like it hurt, Guy! With
all of her fat comments, Bianca Davis
may have waken a sleeping dog.
GUY REYNOLDS
Who you calling a dog, Jesse?
Rosalee is mounted on Bianca and unloading alternating fists into the head of Queen B. She dismounts Davis and pulls her up, whipping her into the corner and following through with a devastating clothesline. With Davis slumped into the corner, Rosalee takes to the second rope and is pouring down fists as the crowd counts them off.
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Five!
Six!
Bianca manages to grab hold of Rosalee, clinch her, and fall back, hot shotting Rosalee face first into the turnbuckle.

GUY REYNOLDS
That was a much needed
momentum shift for Bianca.
JESSE BARNES
It looks like she is taking a breather.
Bianca rolls out of the ring. She is rubbing her forehead from all of the shots she has taken. She looks pissed. She moves toward one of the fans seated at ringside-- it happens to be Kaitlin Daire, in attendance and seated next to her brother, Wrestletown competitor Kolin Daire-- and he grabs her purse from her. A tug a war for the purse ensues, which Bianca wins after a slap to Kaitlin's face sends the dancer to the floor. That was a much needed
momentum shift for Bianca.
JESSE BARNES
It looks like she is taking a breather.
JESSE BARNES
What the hell does she think she's doing?
Bianca Davis has just mugged Kaitlin Daire!

JESSE BARNES
You cannot take your eyes off of Roslee Baker,
as Bianca Davis just learned the hard way!
A furious Daire is now cheering on Baker, encouraging her to put it to Davis.
Baker pulls up Davis by the hair and rams her head into the apron before rolling for former beauty pageant winner into the ring. Baker rolls in after Davis, who is on her knees, begging for reprieve. Rosalee is having none of it. She pulls up Davis and sends her across the ring. Rosalee ducks for another back body drop but this time, Davis sees it coming and sends a swift boot to Roslaee's face, downing the proud baker.
Davis's attack is methodical. She struts her stuff and does her fair share of showboating; but each tie Roslaee gets toa base, she is all over the Holston native to flatten her out with a forearm or a boot. There's nothing pretty about Davis's attack, but it is effective.

This is not good for Baker. Bianca Davis certainly
not the type of wrestler you can give an inch
to, because she will take advantage.

Yes indeed, Davis now on the offense--
and look out, there's running knee lift by
Davis and Baker doesn't know what hit her!

Bianca lifts Roslaee over her shoulders in a fireman's carry. However, Roselle coverts out of nowhere to a crucifix pinfall for a cover of
ONE!
TWO!
Kickout by Bianca, and that one nearly caught Davis off guard and cost her the match! Bianca is quick up, but an arm drag take down puts her back to the mat. Bianca's up again and it's another arm drag by Baker. Bianca's up again and this time, Roslaee jumps in the air for a hurricanrana, but Davis is able to change the momentum, catching Rosalee and converting into a sitout power bomb. Baker's on her back and Davis makes the cover. As referee Dave Daniels jumps down to make the county, Davis puts her feet on the second rope for leverage.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
The bell rings and Davis rolls out of the ring. The fans are calling for Bianca's head. She doesn't even wait for the ref to raise her hand. She moves to the timekeeper's table and grabs her new television title belt.
As Davis staggers down the runway holding the bet, the camera picks up on a visibly upset Kolin Daire, his attention divided between the retreating new champion, and his sister.
GUY REYNOLDS
That just sounds like sour grapes, Jesse. Look, Rosalee
Baker knew what Bianca Davis is about. There should
be no surprise. Baker had ample time to prepare for
Bianca's tactics, and Davis still pulled off the victory!
As far I'm concerned, all hail the Queen of Holston!
JESSE BARNES
Well, she is our new Television Champion, one of
two new titles to be handed down tonight, and in
fact, we are just receiving word that Dean Willard
is ready to make an announcement as to which
match tonight will serve as our main event and
decide the inaugural Wrestletown Champion.
GUY REYNOLDS
This should be exciting.
After careful contemplation, taking into consideration the
efforts, both inside and outside of the ring, I am pleased
to announce that the first ever Wrestletown Champion will
awarded to the winner of the match this evening between "
The Canadian Controversy" Shawn Cage and Ian Wright.
JESSE BARNES
Wow folks, a big announcement from Dean Willard. Ian
Wright versus Shawn Cage will headline tonight's lineup,
and it will determine the first ever Wrestletown Champion.
GUY REYNOLDS
What a decision. Let me tell you what a decision like that
tells me about Dean Willard-- the many has both brains
and balls. He has brains because someone like Shawn
Cage as champ, who has the right combination of
charisma and talent to represent this organization well.
But also shows that he's not afraid to take risks because
lets face it, if Ian Wright beats Shawn Cage tonight and
becomes the first ever Wrestletown Champion, who knows
in what direction the Righteous One will take this company.
JESSE BARNES
Speaking of Ian Wright, earlier today he was inside of the
Farmer's Market earlier today. As you will recall, the last
time Ian Wright was in there, he was buying organic
soap which he used to wash out Shawn Cage's mouth with.
GUY REYNOLDS
Things got a little more heated this time around, since
as we all know, Shawn Cage's flame, Alanna McKay works
at the Farmer's Market. Let's take a look at what transpired.
Alanna McKay is behind the counter, on the land line telephone.

just when will this women ever win a match cleanly!

MEADOW LEIGH
First, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing
in at two hundred thirty four pounds, being
accompanied to the ring by his manager,
Marty Sunshine, here is Vladimir Vishnevsky!
Vishnevsky lets out a growl, which is accompanied by some pyrotechnics. He storms down the runway toward the ring.
GUY REYNOLDS
Vladimir Vishnevsky is an animal-- and an
Vladimir Vishnevsky is an animal-- and an
angry animal at that, Guy. He took to
social media earlier in this week to voice
his displeasure over being left off the pay
per view, and after some terminations,
it looks like he got what he wanted.
JESSE BARNES
You have to wonder, though, Guy, how many
more chances Vishnevsky will receive. He has
had an unfortunate run thus far in Wrestletown,
waiting to pick up his first big win, and tonight
he's in the ring against a man who is making
his debut herein Holston, Ace Watson. Watson
himself is coming off a tough loss to Jaeden
Churchin VOW, so both me here looking to
get back into the winner's column.
MEADOW LEIGH
And his opponent...
The bell rings and both men walk to the center, staring at each other. Words are exchanged, but that are inaudible from our vantage point. Whatever is said, it prompts Vishnevsky to push Watson, who stumbles a bit. In return, Watson pushes Vishnevsky, who stumbles even more. This generates a nice reaction from the crowd.
Vishnevsky raises his hands, as if to offer a truce, but then unloads a sucker punch-- a hay maker of a right hook that Watson blocks and counters, and then another, and then a third, and Watson is lighting the big Russian up on her feet. Watson takes to the ropes, bounces back, ducks a clothesline, hits the far ropes, comes and comes back with a flying forearm that takes the wind out of the Assassin's sails and sends him to the canvas.
Both men pop to their feet, Watson one step ahead of Vishnevsky, and a hip toss brings Vladmir back down to the canvas, and Vlad rolls out to regroup.

Fall Out Boy's "Centuries" takes over the sound system, and Ace Watson steps onto the runway. A spotlight shines down on him. He is wearing a black hooded jacket on top, the hood up over his head.
MEADOW LEIGH
...weighing in at one hundred ninety
pounds...from Norwich, England...
Watson stops at the top of the ramp and looks up at the ring, a stern, focused look on his face. He makes the walk down the runway and up the ring steps. The referee has to stand in front of Vishnevsky to give Ace a fair opportunity to enter the ring.
MEADOW LEIGH
...He is the Five Star Phenomenon, Ace Watson!

TWO!
KICKOUT by Vishnevsky!
Ace is firmly in control and wears the big man down with a headlock following his near fall. Vladimir works to his knees, and then to his feet, Ace still firmly holding onto the headlock. Vishnevsky backs them up to the ropes, and is able to push Ace off the ropes, sending him across the ring; Ace hits the far ropes, ducks a clothesline, but on the way back runs into a big boot from Vladimir.

INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - CONFERENCE ROOM - CONTINUOUS
We have moved to the large conference room within the Steel Mill Auditorium, where we find Wrestletown General Manager Bobby McVeigh seated next to manager Mort Goodman, Esq. and Holston Mayor, Hank Murdoch.
There are two large flat screen televisions hanging on the far wall. On one, is live footage from the match taking place at that very moment, elsewhere in the arena: Vladimir Vishnevsky is mounted on Ace Watson, strangling him, while the referee is counting down for a break of the hold.
The other screen appears to be static.
The door to the conference room opens, and in enters Wrestletown competitor Kolin Daire. He looks particularly disturbed.
KOLIN DAIRE
You wanted to see me?
The two shake hands.

Mort picks up the remote from the table and points it at the other screen on the wall. At the click of a button, a video begins to play. It is the video that was supposed to be Kolin Daire's promo for the Crossroads Show.
On the screen, Wrestletown interviewer Darnell Washington sits in an over-sized red leather chair. Behind him is a large red neon lollipop, and across from him is Kolin Daire in the exact same kind of chair.
Kolin looks from Bobby to Mort to Mayor Murdoch. All of them are fixed on the video on the screen.
Before Darnell can continue with his offensive questions, Daire grabs him by the throat and lifts him out of his seat.
Mort pushes pause-- the frame on the screen freezes with Daire's hands around Darnell's throat. Mort looks to Kolin.
Kolin thinks about it for a minute. He looks upset.
Kolin gives a nod to the screen, alluding to Vladimir Vishnevsky, his original opponent, who at the monent, is struggling to defend a sleeper hold at the hands of Ace Watson
The Mayor holds his hand up to Mort, signifying his intention to change gears in the conversation. He slides a book across the table. It is a Sunshine Springs High School yearbook. The yearbook is tabbed.
Kolin pauses, studies the faces of his colleagues before opening it up to the tabbed page. He opens to the page. There is a picture of a familiar face:
Colton Woods
There is a caption underneath the photo. It reads:
Kolin finishes reading it. He looks up. He doesn't get it.

KOLIN DAIRE
Yeah. So?
MAYOR MURDOCH
Do you know who "C.S." is?
(to Kolin)
Kolin, I hate this cocksucker
as much as I am sure you do
right now. He has taken a gym
that we entrusted to him and
now mocks this town. I want
our gym back, and I want him
to hurt. And I want you to do it.
Kolin gets up. He is about to walk out. As he reaches the door, he turns his attention back to the trio in the room-- and to Bobby McVeigh in particular.Yeah. So?
MAYOR MURDOCH
Do you know who "C.S." is?
It takes a minute to register. But it does, Kolin's expression begins to turn all sorts of angry.
The mayor turns to Bobby.

Bobby looks up at the screen. Ace Watson connects with his "Ace of Blades" spinning impaler onto Vishnevsky, and drops down for a count. The ref counts to three. He very well could have counted to twenty. Vishnevsky is out cold.
BOBBY MCVEIGH
Sorry to pressure you, Kolin, but we
need an answer. We're out of ti--
KOLIN DAIRE
(through gritted teeth)
I'm in.
KOLIN DAIRE
One more thing in return. After I dispose of this
sack of shit, I want the next shot at that bitch
Bianca Davis. Since the Holstonlocals can seem
to get the job done, it's time for a Phili native
to start cleaning out the trash in this town.
The mayor smiles.

INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - RINGSIDE – CONTINUOUS
The steel cage had been lowered, and tightly secured to the ring it surrounded. Robbie McKay stood in one corner, using the ropes as one final stretch maneuver, before turning and facing the man who had only recently became a problem in his life…Frost.
Inside the ring, while Guy Reynolds and Jesse Barnes bicker back and forth amongst themselves, Frost had already dropped Robbie McKay to the canvas with a sickening knee to the chin. He lifted, more pulled McKay to his feet by the hair, and then backed McKay across the ring with a closed fist punch, after closed fist punch, until McKay had nowhere to go, and back was up against the turnbuckle. Blood had begun to run from both nostrils of McKay, and some blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Frost stopped with the onslaught of punches, and lifted up Robbie McKay and threw him thru the air, into the mesh of the steel cage. Alicia Frost stood on the outside cheering her husband on, shaking the steel cage.
In the ring Robbie McKay is on his knees, as Frost drops to his knees with force as he delivers a devastating elbow to the top of McKay head.
Frost, lifted McKay up in a gorilla press slam and threw McKay into the cage again.
INT. HOLSTON, PENNSLYVANIA – MAIN STREET
A solid black – Newer, maybe 2013 or 2015 – black Chevrolet Camaro, with red hockey stick stripes and limo tinted windows, and solid black rims peeled around the corner, tires squealing on the pavement as the engine roared louder as the person slammed his foot on the gas, and headed towards the Steel Mill Auditorium.
Not even a second later, giving pursuit, Ed Hood came ripping around the corner in his government issued sheriff cruiser. Lights flashing red and blue, and Ed over the radio insisting for the driver of the Camaro to pull over.
The black Camaro pulled away from Ed Hood’s police cruiser, and the licence plate on the black Camaro read, “Villain”.
INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - RINGSIDE - CONTINUOUS
McKay laid between the ropes, a bloody mess, looking visibly beaten at this point.
Frost waited, to see if McKay would get back up. However, McKay never moved a muscle. Frost started towards the opposite side of the cage, and everybody knew, the crowd as one, began to chant.
“Mc-KAY!”
“Mc-KAY!”
“Mc-KAY!”
The audience in the auditorium repeated chanting Robbie McKay names, as Frost started climbing the steel cage.
Robbie McKay pulled himself up, using the ropes and the mesh of the cage as an assistance to standing himself up. It took him a second to stand, but he realized Frost was already half way up the cage. McKay wiped the blood from his eyes and ran and lunged himself at Frost, hitting him in with a double fist hammer blow to the back.
Frost kicked McKay away with the back of his foot.
Robbie McKay lunged himself at McKay again.
Frost kicked again.
McKay lunged himself again.
Robbie McKay, backed up and charged again and lunged into the air. This time however, Frost pushed himself from the cage and caught Robbie McKay in the chin, with his elbow. McKay dropped to the canvas.
Frost began climbing, and the audience broke out in chant again.
“Mc-KAY!”
“Mc-KAY!”
“Mc-KAY!”
Robbie McKay pulled himself to his feet, and started climbing the steel cage beside Frost. Robbie McKay, punched and punched, Frost as he climbed, and took a shot here and there from Frost. Both men made it to the top, where a platform, a foot wide had been placed around the top of the cage.
Frost connected with a blow; stumbling McKay back as he almost fell from the cage into the ring. Then it happened, Frost want for his finisher, ‘the Frost Bite’ and McKay went for his trademark signature super kick. Frost missed, just barely as Robbie McKay managed to connect with his. Frost fell, backwards on the cage and then down into the ring. The impact of Frost falling, shook the steel cage and a very unsteady Robbie McKay fell off the cage, but he landed on the outside, and thru the bell keepers table.
The bell rung on impact.
Guy Reynolds said nothing, as backstage personal and medics stormed the area around McKay checking on his status. The crowd went quiet, waiting to see if everything was alright.
The crowd erupted, as Robbie McKay stood up raising his arm in the air, with assistance from the medics.
INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - BACKSTAGE - CONTINUOUS
Holli Blue sat backstage, purse in her lap watching one of the main monitors; that had been set up. To her right stood Jason.
Holli didn’t say anything, but just sat there looking a little worse for wear.
On the monitor in front of her, KillJOY was making his way down to the ring for the next match between him and Jack Owyns.
INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM – RINGSIDE
In the ring, KillJOY stood and waited for Jack Owyns. Who at this point in time; theme music blared on the auditorium PA system.
Back in the ring, Jack’s music cuts out and KillJOY shakes his head in disapproval. The crowd starts to make noise, as they don’t cheer, but begin to boo.
Jack Owyns, dressed in jeans and a grey hoody pushes himself thru the pack auditorium. He makes his way towards the ring, as KillJOY sees this, and taunts Jack to hurry up. Jack Owyns jumps over the barricade and has a steel pipe in his hand as both men stare at each other, before Jack points the pipe at KillJOY, and slides into the ring.
KillJOY runs and throws a wild punch at Jack, but Jack dodges it by ducking underneath it. KillJoy stops and turns himself around.
CRACK!
The sound of the steel pipe connecting with Killjoy skull echo thru out the arena.
Jack hit KillJoy two more times, and then turned towards the entrance stage and pointed. Jack Owyns left the ring in a hurry, and ran up the aisle and disappeared behind the black curtain.
Medics rushed from the backstage, as they came to the aid of KillJoy, who was not moving.
ACE WATSON (cont'd)

That’s because you are a coward. McKay is

Robbie McKay pulled himself to his feet, and started climbing the steel cage beside Frost. Robbie McKay, punched and punched, Frost as he climbed, and took a shot here and there from Frost. Both men made it to the top, where a platform, a foot wide had been placed around the top of the cage.
JESSE BARNES
Frost and Robbie McKay, going back
and forth, blow for blow.
GUY REYNOLDS
Robbie McKay is getting the worst of
this, exchange.
JESSE BARNES
No, he isn’t.
GUY REYNOLDS.
Yes, he is.
Frost connected with a blow; stumbling McKay back as he almost fell from the cage into the ring. Then it happened, Frost want for his finisher, ‘the Frost Bite’ and McKay went for his trademark signature super kick. Frost missed, just barely as Robbie McKay managed to connect with his. Frost fell, backwards on the cage and then down into the ring. The impact of Frost falling, shook the steel cage and a very unsteady Robbie McKay fell off the cage, but he landed on the outside, and thru the bell keepers table.
The bell rung on impact.
MEADOW LEIGH
And HERE IS YOUR WINNER, BY CAGE
ESCAPE…ROBBIE MCKAY!
JESSE BARNES
HE DID IT! He came back and won, what
a remarkable showing from Robbie McKay.
Guy Reynolds said nothing, as backstage personal and medics stormed the area around McKay checking on his status. The crowd went quiet, waiting to see if everything was alright.
JESSE BARNES
I hope everything is Okay, with Robbie McKay.
The crowd erupted, as Robbie McKay stood up raising his arm in the air, with assistance from the medics.
JESSE BARNES
McKay did it. Defeated another demon in his life.
INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - BACKSTAGE - CONTINUOUS
Holli Blue sat backstage, purse in her lap watching one of the main monitors; that had been set up. To her right stood Jason.
JASON
Come on Holli, enough is enough.
Jack has left you; he’s gone.
Jack has left you; he’s gone.
Holli didn’t say anything, but just sat there looking a little worse for wear.
JASON
He hasn’t showed his face, since the last
show. He hasn’t even tried talking to you.
Let’s go; come home with me, and we can
start over, start fresh.
HOLLI BLUE
I want to watch his match.
On the monitor in front of her, KillJOY was making his way down to the ring for the next match between him and Jack Owyns.
JASON
He won’t show. Can’t you see, he left
you, he’s done with you.
HOLLI BLUE
He will show.
JASON
DAMNIT HOLLI, LETS GO…NOW!
INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM – RINGSIDE
In the ring, KillJOY stood and waited for Jack Owyns. Who at this point in time; theme music blared on the auditorium PA system.
JESSE BARNES
This is becoming a routine, it
seems. Jack Owyns not showing.

GUY REYNOLDS
He’s probably taking Ed Hood
for a tour around Holston.

Back in the ring, Jack’s music cuts out and KillJOY shakes his head in disapproval. The crowd starts to make noise, as they don’t cheer, but begin to boo.
GUY REYNOLDS
Jack is HERE! He’s coming thru the crowd.
Jack Owyns, dressed in jeans and a grey hoody pushes himself thru the pack auditorium. He makes his way towards the ring, as KillJOY sees this, and taunts Jack to hurry up. Jack Owyns jumps over the barricade and has a steel pipe in his hand as both men stare at each other, before Jack points the pipe at KillJOY, and slides into the ring.
JESSE BARNES
Jack, seems to have brought a steel pipe with
him. He must not be planning to fight a fair
battle here.
KillJOY runs and throws a wild punch at Jack, but Jack dodges it by ducking underneath it. KillJoy stops and turns himself around.
CRACK!
The sound of the steel pipe connecting with Killjoy skull echo thru out the arena.
JESSE BARNES
That is dirty.
Jack hit KillJoy two more times, and then turned towards the entrance stage and pointed. Jack Owyns left the ring in a hurry, and ran up the aisle and disappeared behind the black curtain.
GUY REYNOLDS
I wonder where he is going.
JESSE BARNES
I think everybody knows.
Medics rushed from the backstage, as they came to the aid of KillJoy, who was not moving.
JESSE BARNES
That was one hell of a match on one hell of a card thus
far, and there is still so much more to come, including
the grudge match that is thirteen years in the making,
Carter Hayes doing battle once more with Damian Cole.

Well she may be a newcomer to these parts, but Babs Ryan

We move to inside the ring, where Wrestletown ring announcer Meadow Leigh is ready to shine. All three combatants are already in the ring.

scheduled for one fall. First, from New York,

Babs receives a mixed response from a local crowd that is wholly unfamiliar with her. Undeterred and ever-so-energetic, Bab greets the fans from inside the ring with a sense of enthusiasm that is quick to generate converts.
The volume picks up considerably.
The bell rings and the trio circle one another carefully, feeling each other out. Hope charges at Priscilla, who ducks an incoming clothesline from the American Girl, only to get clothesline by Babs. However, Ryan cannot take advantage of the downed Priscilla Price as she herself is met with a dropkick from Hope Murdoch.
Hope takes to the ropes, bounces off, hops onto the back of Babs as she is on her hands and knees, using the Australian as a springboard, and dives into the air, connecting with a flying clothesline onto Priscilla as she was getting to her feet.
Babs moves in on Price, pulls her up. She whips Priscilla against the ropes, a reversal by Price; Babs hits the ropes, bounces back; Price hits the floor, Babs hops over and connects with a Thesz Press on Hope for a cover of

KICKOUT by Hope!
Babs is quick to her feet, but not quick enough as the turns around and walks into a Superkick from Priscilla Price! Priscilla herself collapses to the mat in exhaustion after connecting.

So that was the action from this afternoon, as Babs
Ryan turned heads and took names, sending a clear
message to the Wrestletown Locker Room that she
is a force to be reckoned with here in Holston.

"Shawn Cage has no business being in the wrestling

that he never steps foot inside of a wrestling ring again."
INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - WRESTLETOWN PRESENTS: EPISODE TWO - EVENING
Shawn Cage is in the ring, celebrating a victory.
Guy's warning falls on deaf ears as Ian sneaks up behind Cage and delivers an "And of Discussion" back brain kick that knocks Cage clearly out.
If volume was action, there would be a riot inside of the Steel Mill Auditorium as the fans boo the Righteous One. Ian pays them no mind and calls for a microphone. Standing over Shawn Cage, looks down on the Canadian Controversy.
Ian reaches into his jacket pocket.

We return backstage, with Jason pulling Holli down the corridor towards the back parking lot. Where he has a car waiting for them.
Jason refused to listen, he kept on pulling Holli along. Very close to the car.
He reached for the door handle.
The door swung open with force, and slammed into Jason knocking him back. Holli managed to pull her arm free, as Jack stepped out of the car.
Holli seem caught off guard, unsure if she should be sad, angry, or happy at the sight of Jack.
Jack pulled a steel pipe from the car looking at Holli, but then turning his attention to Jason. He didn’t even give Jason a chance to speak, before he swung the steel pipe and knocked Jason square in the mouth. Jason dropped, lights out.
Jack turned to Holli.
Holli face went red, and she started punching Jack in the stomach.
Jack didn’t block a single shot, just took each punch he knew he deserved.
Holli Blue stopped punching Jack.
Holli just looked up at Jack.
INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - RINGSIDE – CONTINUOUS
The camera returns to ringside.
The bell sounds. Laila Arshad and Chris Shield begin circling one and another. Chris Shields shoots in first, but Laila dodges Chris Shield’s takedown. They return to circling each other, and this time Laila shoots in for a takedown, but Chris Shields dodges her attempt. Again, both return to circling each other, and then both wipe their hands on their tights and lock up in the center of the ring.
Chris Shields backs Laila into the turnbuckle, winning in the strength department. Laila Arshad places her leg between the ropes, and the referee steps in and separates the two. Which Laila takes full advantage of this and drivers her knee into the gut of Chris Shields, and then follows up with a forearm smash to the face of Shields.
Shields backs himself off, and Laila grabs a hold of him and connects with a front Russian leg-sweep.
Back inside the ring, Chris Shields had managed to make it to the ropes and break the hold. Laila held on a bit longer then needed, and received a warning from the referee. Laila never gave shields a chance to stand, and right away began stomping on the ankle of Chris Shield trying to soften it up. The crowd booed, but Laila never stopped with the stomp, she spice it up, and every second stomp, she dropped down with her knee.
Chris Shields was in pain.
Laila dragged Chris Shields away from the ropes, and this time locked in a Boston Crab, applying pressure to the leg she had just been working on.
Shields slammed his head down on the canvas, and began pulling himself and Laila towards the ropes. Laila tried to fight it, but with one pull Chris pulled her off balance enough, to pull himself to the ropes. Laila never let go. The referee in charged tried to break the hold, but the Laila refused him.
The referee started his count.
One!
Two!
Three!
Four!
Five!
Six!
Seven!
Laila released the leg of Chris Shields, and right away found herself in a back and forth argument with the referee. Eventually she pushed the referee out of the way, and went back to assault Chris Shields.
Back in the ring Chris Shields was finally standing back up, hopping on one fight not to apply pressure to his damaged ankle. He managed to dropkick Laila back, which appeared to hurt him more than her. Laila came back for more, and Chris Shield quickly dropped her to the canvas with a drop toe hold, which he turned into his own Ankle Lock. Trying to repay the favor.
Laila pulled herself to the ropes, but unlike her, Chris Shields released the hold. Laila pulled herself out of the ring beneath the bottom rope. The crowd booed as she lean herself up against the guardrail, and took a moment to regain herself.
Chris Shield lunged over the top rope, and connected with a Crossbody. Both laid on the outside of the ring. Chris Shield managed to return to his feet first, and grabbed Laila and rolled her underneath the bottom rope back into the ring. Chris Shield followed.
Laila crawled over to the corner turnbuckle and used it to pull herself up. Shield used this, and pulled off a tornado DDT from the corner.
The referee did notice and forced Chris Shields to break the hold. Chris Shields listened, and Laila began pulling herself out of the ring. Except Chris Shield grabbed her by the leg, but failed to counter the other leg that slammed right into his most special part.
Chris Shields dropped to his knees, and Laila drove her boot into his mouth. The referee warned Laila again, but Laila never listened as she slowly pulled herself to her feet, and before Shields could recover from the ball shot; rained down with elbows, knees, and stomps to his bad ankle.
Laila Arshad, applied –
Laila applies everything into the move, and Shields looks on the brink of tapping. Chris Shields, manages to lunge again, and grabs onto the ropes. Laila breaks the hold, obviously getting frustrated with Shields resisting to tap.
Laila stomps her hands on the canvas and stands up, as Chris Shield slowly pulls himself up. Laila walks toward Chris Shields and goes for a lock up, except Shields dodges it and then looks to be going for a Hurricanrana, but—
Laila fights the submission at first, but then, when she can’t get a hold of the ropes she taps.
The bell sounds.
The crowd erupts.
Meadow Leigh stands up, as the referee grabs a hold of the hardcore championship
The crowd turned to the entrance stage, where Bobby McVeigh stands with a bag.
Bobby McVeigh reached into the bag, and pulls a new championship from the bag.

Jack pulled a steel pipe from the car looking at Holli, but then turning his attention to Jason. He didn’t even give Jason a chance to speak, before he swung the steel pipe and knocked Jason square in the mouth. Jason dropped, lights out.
JACK OWYNS

Jack turned to Holli.
JACK OWYNS

Holli face went red, and she started punching Jack in the stomach.

Jack didn’t block a single shot, just took each punch he knew he deserved.
JACK OWYNS

Holli Blue stopped punching Jack.

JESSE BARNES
Week after week, Laila Arshad and Chris
Shields have been at each other’s throat.
Now, it’s finally time for both to meet face
to face, one on one. Championship on the
line!
GUY REYNOLDS
In a submission match. The most un-hardcore
match you could have chosen.
JESSE BARNES
Nobody wants to see hardcore wrestling,
they want to see two people battle it
out traditionally.
GUY REYNOLDS
Chris Shields, and Robbie McKay. That’s it.
JESSE BARNES
No, a long list of people. The town folk of
Holston signed a petition.
GUY REYNOLDS
Whatever. I’m bored already thinking
about it.
JESSE BARNES
Good thing, nobody cares about
what you think, but anyways. The
referee is down in the ring, signalling
for the bell to start the following contest.
The bell sounds. Laila Arshad and Chris Shield begin circling one and another. Chris Shields shoots in first, but Laila dodges Chris Shield’s takedown.

champion, make this wuss bleed.
JESSE BARNES
If she resorts to hardcore, she will
find herself disqualified.
GUY REYNOLDS
So.
JESSE BARNES
Laila wants to prove, she can beat Chris
Shields at his own game. Shields has doubt
her ability, and Laila is superior with
submission and the technical side of wrestling.
Look she just caught Chris Shields with a
German suplex, and is now applying an ankle lock.
GUY REYNOLDS
Trying to end this quick. She’s probably bored
too. Like I am.
JESSE BARNES
Would you just stop, and watch.
GUY REYNOLDS

Chris Shields was in pain.
Laila dragged Chris Shields away from the ropes, and this time locked in a Boston Crab, applying pressure to the leg she had just been working on.
GUY REYNOLDS

OH! Laila walked right into the
kick to the gut.
GUY REYNOLDS
If the referee wouldn’t have distracted
Laila, she wouldn’t have walked into
that kick.
JESSE BARNES
Chris Shield, with his one good leg, is
dishing kick after kick to the gut of Laila.
Keeping her back.
GUY REYNOLDS
Only because the referee, helped him
distract Laila.
JESSE BARNES
He did no such thing.
Back in the ring Chris Shields was finally standing back up, hopping on one fight not to apply pressure to his damaged ankle. He managed to dropkick Laila back, which appeared to hurt him more than her. Laila came back for more, and Chris Shield quickly dropped her to the canvas with a drop toe hold, which he turned into his own Ankle Lock. Trying to repay the favor.
Laila pulled herself to the ropes, but unlike her, Chris Shields released the hold. Laila pulled herself out of the ring beneath the bottom rope. The crowd booed as she lean herself up against the guardrail, and took a moment to regain herself.
Chris Shield lunged over the top rope, and connected with a Crossbody. Both laid on the outside of the ring. Chris Shield managed to return to his feet first, and grabbed Laila and rolled her underneath the bottom rope back into the ring. Chris Shield followed.
Laila crawled over to the corner turnbuckle and used it to pull herself up. Shield used this, and pulled off a tornado DDT from the corner.
JESSE BARNES
Chris Shields, locking in another submission
attempt – a figure four leg lock!
GUY REYNOLDS
REFEREE! Laila holding onto the ropes.
The referee did notice and forced Chris Shields to break the hold. Chris Shields listened, and Laila began pulling herself out of the ring. Except Chris Shield grabbed her by the leg, but failed to counter the other leg that slammed right into his most special part.
Chris Shields dropped to his knees, and Laila drove her boot into his mouth. The referee warned Laila again, but Laila never listened as she slowly pulled herself to her feet, and before Shields could recover from the ball shot; rained down with elbows, knees, and stomps to his bad ankle.
Laila Arshad, applied –
GUY REYNOLDS
REIGN SUMPREME! This is it now, Chris
Shield is definitely going to tap.
Laila applies everything into the move, and Shields looks on the brink of tapping. Chris Shields, manages to lunge again, and grabs onto the ropes. Laila breaks the hold, obviously getting frustrated with Shields resisting to tap.
Laila stomps her hands on the canvas and stands up, as Chris Shield slowly pulls himself up. Laila walks toward Chris Shields and goes for a lock up, except Shields dodges it and then looks to be going for a Hurricanrana, but—
JESSE BARNES
Chris Shields just turned a hurricanrana
into a triangle choke!
Laila fights the submission at first, but then, when she can’t get a hold of the ropes she taps.
The bell sounds.
The crowd erupts.
Meadow Leigh stands up, as the referee grabs a hold of the hardcore championship
MEADOW LEIGH
AND…Your winner and NEW—
BOBBY MCVEIGH
Hold on, just a second Meadow.
The crowd turned to the entrance stage, where Bobby McVeigh stands with a bag.
BOBBY MCVEIGH
Since, Ian Echo has left us. We see no reason
to continue the hardcore division he created. So
effective immediately…the hardcore division,
championship no longer exists.
Bobby McVeigh reached into the bag, and pulls a new championship from the bag.
BOBBY MCVEIGH
So Meadow, not to steel your thunder
but…And, your winner and NEW…Pure
champion…CHRIS SHIELDS!
Chris Shields, exited the ring and walked up the aisle. Bobby McVeigh passed him his new championship. Shields grabbed the title, and raised it above his head. The crowd cheered him on.
INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - RINGSIDE - CONTINUOUS
Jesse Barnes and Guy Reynolds are sharing notes as we are taken back to the broadcast table at ringside.
JESSE BARNES
Ian Wright looks primed and motivated for our main
event tonight. That's still to come, but right now, The
fate of Purple Hayes Gym, the fate of the Varsity Club
Training Grounds Facility, and the fate of a television
title shot for Kolin Daire hangs in the balance as he
takes on Holston Public Enemy #1, Colton Woods.
MEADOW LEIGH
The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
whose hopes all of Holston rests.
GUY REYNOLDS
It's amazing when you think about it, Jesse.
Just a few short weeks ago, Kolin Daire
made his debut to a lukewarm reception
because nobody knew who he was.
And yet here we are and this place is
so loud I can't even hear myself think!
JESSE BARNES
Well he sure looks focused, and with him
is the fuel to his fire, the lovely Cindy Stevens.
Once again, Holston natives are greeted with that all-too-familiar guitar riff. It's the riff to Tool's "Aenema," and for years it has been the prelude to the destruction of another Holston Heavyweight.
a t-shirt that reads,
JESSE BARNES
Tonight, he has the chance to add insult to injury and
secure his place as the head of a Varsilty Club Training
Facility, which is right in the center of Main Street!
Colton takes his time getting down to the ring, stopping along the way to argue with several fans. When he finally reaches the ring, Woods, along with Sunshine take to the center of the ring, and Colton flexes his tank-like physique.
MEADOW LEIGH
And his opponent, from Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, weighing in at two hundred
Thirty four pounds, he is Kolin Daires!
Kolin receives a very large pop from the crowd.
JESSE BARNES

Colton, accompanied by Marty Sunshine, appears at the top of the runway, jacked as usual, wearing a t-shirt that reads,
"I Own the Varsity Club
(and the People of Holston)"
JESSE BARNES
This guy is such a creep. He takes such
enjoyment out of angering this community.
GUY REYNOLDS
He's been doing it for years, and he's good at it.

‘Whiskey in the Jar’ by Metallica erupts on the arena sound system, which follows Kolin Daires stepping out from behind the black curtain. By his side is Holston native and Lollipop Lounge dancer Cindy Stevens.

Kolin and Cindy get down to ringside. Kolin enters first and holds the ropes for Cindy. Colton wants to get into it before the bell, but referee Caesar Dominguez holds him back.
Kolin and Colton are exchanging heated words, with the referee in between them. Colton grabs the mic.

COLTON WOODS
Ah, Kolin, I see you brought me a little victory present. Something
for me to take back to my gym and use to work off some of the
energy I'll have left after I make it quick night with you.

Colton turns to Cindy. He puts his fingers on his chin and rubs it, smirking.
COLTON WOODS
Just like old times, right Cindy?
This prompts Daire to charge at Woods and attempt to tackle him. Woods sprawls to avoid the takedown, grabbing hold of a front face lock on Daire and battering him with a series of knees to the face that flattens out the Phili native. Daire attempts to work to a base, but each time, he is flattened again by a double ax handle from Woods. Just like old times, right Cindy?
JESSE BARNES
It looks like Woods baited Daire
in and he took the bait.
in and he took the bait.
GUY REYNOLDS
Kolin needs to regroup and not fight Colton Woods

match against Colton Woods. He needs to use his
striking and speed if he wants to stand a chance.
match. Kolin Daire is not going to win an amateur
match against Colton Woods. He needs to use his
striking and speed if he wants to stand a chance.
Colton Woolds is firmly in control. He pulls up Daire and has him battered in the corner, using his big boot to rub Kolin's face into the top turnbuckle. An Irish Whip by Woods sends Daire back first into the opposite turnbuckle. Woods comes charging in at the wobbly-legged Daire, but as the last moment, Daire drops down for a perfectly timed drop toehold that trips up the massive Woods and sends him crashing face first into the bottom turnbuckle.
The sudden change of momentum awakens the crowd, and their energy boost is just what Kolin needs, as he pops to his feet and keeps the big man grounded with a series of stomps.
Kickout by Daire!
Woods is looking frustrated as he slaps his own hand three times in rapid succession to show the ref how he should be counting. Woods pulls up Daire and sends him against the ropes again. Daire bounces back and Woods catches him in a gorilla press slam. With Daire suspended high over Colton's head, Colton turns toward Cindy Stevens on the outside.
JESSE BARNES
Good God, no he's not!
Colton's gonna throw Daire
onto Cindy Stevens!
COLTON WOODS
You want him!?! You can have hi--
Daire, mid suspension, manages to fall behind Woods. He grabs a waist lock on Woods from behind and runs him into the ropes, looking for a rollup, but Woods grabs firmly onto the ropes. Daire falls back, but rolls through and pops to his feet. The cocky Woods turns around, thinking he outsmarted Daire, but he is met with boot to the stomach that allows Daire to scoop up Woods and deliver his Dairedevil Driver!
A cover by Daire for
ONE!
TWO!
Marty lifts Colton's leg and places it on the bottom rope, alerting the ref. The ref is trying to get Kolin off of Colton, but before Kolin can figure out that the foot on the rope broke the fall, Marty slaps Kolin in the face from the outside.
Kolin makes the cover, hooks the leg for good measure, and we get a count of
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
The Steel Mill Auditorium erupts! Colton rolls out of the ring, holding his head! He is venomous, slamming the mat. Kolin lifts up Cindy Stevens in celebration with one hand and throws the other hand into the air in salute of the fans who are wild for Kolin Daire at this moment.

Daire pulls Colton to his feet and backs him against the ropes with a series of chops.

Daire is grounded and Woods is back on his feet, a confident swag about him as he feels he is firmly in control. Outside, Marty Sunshine is screaming at Woods to keep the pressure on. Woods moves in on Daire as he works to his hands and knees and breaks him down with a double ax handle. Woods now pulls up Daire and tosses him with a textbook gut wrench suplex. Woods looks for another pin:

JESSE BARNES
This is unbelievable! Marty Sunshine
needs to keep his hands to himself!
Kolin rises and reaches over and gets a handful of Marty Sunshine's curly locks, pulling him up to the ring apron. Kolin puts two hands around the weaselly manager's throat and lifts him off the ground.
In the meantime, Colton has slowly made it to his knees and delivers a low blow between the legs of Daire, causing him to drop Marty Sunshine to the ringside floor. Daire is hunched over and Woods gets to his feet, throwing Daire's head in between his legs and lifting him for a power bomb and he hits it! A cover by Woods for a

Woods looks pissed. He looks up following his near fall to see Cindy Stevens cheering Daire on, and with a need to take out his aggression, Colton Woods rolls out of the ring, his eyes fixed on the Lollipop Lounge Dancer.
She is shaking her head now, backing up as Colton walks toward her, rubbing his hands together. She picks up the pace of her retreat, which leads Colton to likewise pick up the pace of his advance, and before you know it, Cindy Stevens is in full blown sprint mode. With nowhere to else to run, Stevens dives into the ring. Colton gives chase, but as he does he is met with an incoming knee to the head from Kolin Daire that lays him out.

Here is Carter Hayes!
Here is Carter Hayes!
Carter and Marty, side by side, at the top of the runway, a site that is still hard to digest, given the longtime history between the two. Nevertheless, the two are aligned tonight, and together they share the showering of jeers of a pro-Damian crowd.
Rather than move down the runway, both pause, causing some confusion among the fans, as well as our broadcast team.
Sure enough, Priscilla Price-- former lover, stalker and fatal attraction to Damian Cole, emerges from behind the curtain.
JESSE BARNES (Cont'd)
I don't believe my eyes! It was only two
weeks ago that Priscilla Price had a falling
out with Marty Sunshine! Was that all a scam?
GUY REYNOLDS
I'll tell you what it is-- pure genius on the part of
Marty Sunshine and Carter Hayes! You want to talk
about focus. Damian Cole may have superhuman focus,
but you are looking at his kryptonite. Remember, Damian's
only loss in the last several months came at the hands of
Corey McCabe due to a distraction provided by this woman!
JESSE BARNES
Look at Carter-- he thinks he is so smart.
GUY REYNOLDS
It will be interesting to see how Mort Goodman and
Damian Cole deal with this unforeseen turn of events.
Carter, Marty and Priscilla-- a lethal trio, convene with one another inside the ring. They are all smiles, as if their secret move has sealed the fate of Damian Cole before he has even entered the arena.
MEADOW LEIGH
And his opponent....
MEADOW LEIGH
Weighing in at one hundred
ninety pounds...from Lock Haven,
Pennsylvania,here is Damian Cole!
JESSE BARNES
Let me make an observation right here. Carter looks in
the best shape of his life, and he also looks extremely
focused. There will be no excuse tonight for the loser.
GUY REYNOLDS
The one thing that makes this match so fascinating to me
is that yeah, they both can wrestle; but each man shares
another strong point that has been the difference maker in
so many other matches, and that is their ability to focus.
Rather than move down the runway, both pause, causing some confusion among the fans, as well as our broadcast team.

right there is Grace Taylor, former undefeated,
undisputed IWA heavyweight champion.
GUY REYNOLDS
Yes, but more important, that is the daughter
of Mort Goodman and the former fiance to
thatman in the ring, Carter Hayes!
JESSE BARNES
She certainly was. In fact, the two had a wedding
date planned for less than three weeks from now,
that is until Carter Hayes turned his back on Mort
Goodman and aligned himself with Marty Sunshine.
GUY REYNOLDS
What's interesting is that at the time, it was expected
that Grace Taylor would stand by her man and join
Sunshine, Inc. along with him. But instead, she just
walked away-- from the sport, from Carter, from everything!

Damian, Mort and Grace make their way down the ring and quickly make their way inside. An epic stare down ensues-- two groups of three, each with a counterpart. This stare down seems to last an eternity.
JESSE BARNES
I am calling it right now, the presence of Grace
Taylor will be the difference maker in this match.
Just look at Hayes. He can't take his eyes off her!
Carter has to be careful here. Damian Cole has a significant
advantage in the submission game. Although Carter Hayes's
submission defense is very strong, I would not want to be
caught in a mat scramble with someone like Damian Cole.
GUY REYNOLDS
I'll tell you what she's doing, Jesse. With a
woman he's trying to win back and two kids
watching at home, Priscilla Price is throwing
another distraction at Damian Cole!
GUY REYNOLDS
What a match! Hats off to both men who
have put on a spectacular performance.
I am calling it right now, the presence of Grace
Taylor will be the difference maker in this match.
Just look at Hayes. He can't take his eyes off her!
Carter is throwing a tantrum, stomping about, pointing at Grace, and then at the dressing room. But the ref is having none of it.
Finally, referee David Daniels is able to clear the ring of all but Carter and Damian, and the bell sounds. The two men stare at one another across the ring.
Damian walks to the center of the ring, and takes a collegiate wrestling stance. This generates a huge pop from the crowd.

JESSE BARNES
Well if you want to get in this crowd's
good side, that is certainly one way to
do it. This is, after all, Wrestletown!
GUY REYNOLDS
It will be interesting to see if
Carter Hayes reciprocates.
Carter is reluctant, perhaps a bit confused, but Damian is pointing to the spot right in front of him, insisting that Carter meet him at their old game.
Carter storms to the center of the mat, and likewise assumes a collegiate wrestling stance. Damian holds out a hand, Carter slaps it as a manner of competitive sportsmanship, and the two circle one another. Each has his hands in the face of the other, looking for an opening, but each reluctant to tie up.
Damian goes for a shot-- a double leg take down. Carter sprawls, but Damian keeps driving and driving. Carter has Damian carrying all of his way, and Damian drives Carter back into the corner unable to solidify the take down. The two find themselves jockeying for position in the corner. With Carter's back to the corner, it is Damian who opts for a clean break, and immediately sprints back to the center of the mat, again resuming the collegiate wrestling stance.
Carter looks to the outside for guidance from Marty, who is clapping his hands, cheering his boy on, pointing to the center of the ring. Carter sprints back to the middle, and the two again begin to circle, looking for an opening.
This time, it's Carter Hayes with the shot-- and outside single, and Carter, who has the speed advantage, manages to pick up Damian's ankle. Damian, with a hard whizzer, is balancing on one foot. Carter is trying to sweep the foot and perfect the take down, but Damian is able to maintain his balance, and the action once again finds its way to the corner, this time with Damian's back to the turnbuckle.
It looks like a clean break by Carter, but then Carter slaps Damian across the face.
As soon as Carter hits the at, he looks for a switch. A scramble ensues. Damian seeks to counter Carter's switch with a re-switch, and for several moments there is no telling who is going to wind up on top.

GUY REYNOLDS
Well that certainly didn't last long.
Damian counters with an overhand right, and then another, and then a third, and he follows with a power double and lifts Carter Hayes off the mat, circling for a moment before slamming him down to the canvas!
JESSE BARNES
Damian Cole with the take down!
Damian Cole with the take down!
Folks, we have never seen Carter
Hayes taken down like that!

Carter has to be careful here. Damian Cole has a significant
advantage in the submission game. Although Carter Hayes's
submission defense is very strong, I would not want to be
caught in a mat scramble with someone like Damian Cole.
Ultimately, it is Carter Hayes who winds up on top, and he manages to throw some vicious ground and pound from Damian's open guard for a few seconds before Damian throws his legs in the air and catches Carter for a potential match ending armbar. Fortunately for Carter, he is close enough to the ropes to secure a break of the hold by the ref; and as soon as Damian releases the hold, Carter rolls to the outside, holding his arm.
As luck would have it, as Carter rolls out, he finds himself face to face with his former flame, Grace Taylor. Carter just stares at her, lost, shaking his head. Damian rolls out, grabs hold of Carter from behind, and rolls him back into the ring.

JESSE BARNES
Damian Cole is certainly not
playing any games tonight.
As Carter is rolled into the ring, he pops to his feet, and takes to the far ropes before Damian can roll back in himself. Damian does roll back in, but as he pops to his feet, he is met with a flying forearm by the incoming Carter that takes Redemption to the canvas. Carter jumps on Damian and takes his back. Damian stands, with Carter struggling to hold on. Carter lifts Damian and slams him to the mat with a belly to back suplex that takes the wind out of Cole.
Carter sticks to Damian, sending a series of knees to ribs of the former Second City Champion, and Damian Cole is doing his best to cover up.
Carter pulls up Damian, and keeps on the pressure with a couple forearms. Carter grabs Cole for a suplex. Damian blocks. Another attempt by Carter, but Damian blocks again. Now it's Damian with a suplex of his own, and he has Carter up, and sends him crashing down. A cover by Damian:
One!
Tw-- KICKOUT!
Damian takes a front face lock on Carter and is trying to spin around to take Hayes's back, but Carter is having none of it. Carter uses a brilliant amateur fireman's carry to put Damian on his back, and again finds himself on top of Damian, in his guard. Again, Damian throws his legs up for an arm bar, but this time, Carter sees it coming and is able to stack Damian up. Carter lifts Damian from the mat and slams him down with a power bomb that takes the energy out of both men.

in judgment by Damian Cole. He never should have
chased the Crybaby out to the ringside floor.

A power bomb by Carter Hayes! I don't
think I've ever seen Carter use that move!
GUY REYNOLDS
And I'm afraid it might have cost him.
Carter Hayes is not built for muscle moves,
and he looks as winded as Damian.
The referee starts a count on both men, who each try to pull themselves up on separate sides. The ref is checking on Carter, during which Priscilla Price sidles over to Damian, who is on hands and knees, and face to face with the Paramour.
Priscilla grabs hold of Damian, and plants a big, wet kiss on his mouth. Damian pushes her away.

Jezebel think she's doing?

I'll tell you what she's doing, Jesse. With a

watching at home, Priscilla Price is throwing
another distraction at Damian Cole!
On the outside, Grace Taylor rushes over to Priscilla, gets a handful of hair, and throws her over the front railing to the sheer joy of the crowd.
Meanwhile, inside the ring, the distraction has worked, for as when Damian finally returns his attention to Carter, Carter is able to connect with a kick to the stomach, followed up by a slingshot suplex into a cradle suplex, for a count of
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT by Cole!
Carter pulls up Damian, and batters him with a trilogy of jab-cross-hook combinations. Carter whips Damian against the ropes, a reversal, however, by Damian sends Carter across. Carter comes back, and Damian ducks his head looking for a back bodydrop. Carter converts into a beautiful sunset flip for a cover one
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT again by Cole!
Both men pop up pretty quickly, Carter just a step ahead of Damian, and he charges in for a clothesline. Damian ducks, and when Carter turns around, Damian throws a Cole Punch "Super Punch" that knocks Carter clean out of the ring!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
As soon as the ref hits the mat for a three count, Damian busts out. A clean pin, and Damian looks defeated.

Carter Hayes is on the outside now, and
in enemy territory. This is not good.
JESSE BARNES
It still amazes me that being on the side
of the ring with Mort Goodman and Grace
Taylor is considered enemy territory for Carter.
Carter pulls up Damian. Sends him against the ropes. Carter with a clothesline, but Damian ducks under. As Carter turns around, here's Damian with a DTM-- Dedicated to Max-- Superkick! But Carter catches his leg. Damian again is hopping on one foot, but, he manages to scoop up Carter's head and roll him over with an inside cradle-- but instead of fighting it, Carter uses the momentum to roll through, reversing the inside cradle for a cover of Carter Hayes is on the outside now, and
in enemy territory. This is not good.
JESSE BARNES
It still amazes me that being on the side
of the ring with Mort Goodman and Grace
Taylor is considered enemy territory for Carter.
In fact, in an interesting play, Grace moves to Carter's side, dusts him off, checks on him. When she has assurance that he's alright, she shoots her finger toward the ring, demanding that Carter voluntarily return.
Carter is shaking his head no, looking for that little additional break; but as Grace takes a step toward him, he throws his hands in the air in surrender, and climbs back up onto the ring apron-- only to be met by Damian, waiting for him inside. Damian grabs hold of Carter to suplex him back into the ring, but Carter falls behind Damian. When Cole turns around, Carter, out of nowhere, connects with a temper tantrum!

Carter rolls over onto Damian for a cover:

Carter Hayes looks beside himself. He has to be wondering
just what it is that he needs to do to put Damian Cole away!

What a match! Hats off to both men who
have put on a spectacular performance.
In the aftermath of the pin fall, the ring fills up rather quickly-- Marty and Mort and Grace make their way into the ring. Carter moves to Damian, on the mat, shaking his head and catching is breath. Carter consoles him, and pats him on the back for a great match.
As Carter helps up Damian, Marty becomes enraged. He doesn't get it. He is yelling at Carter for fraternizing with the enemy, and the two begin to get in each other's face.
Mart slaps Carter right across the face, staggering Carter, more out of surprise than from the blow itself. Carter raises a fist to unleash on Marty, but before he can let go, Mort Goodman catches his fist, holding uo his hands to calm Carter down.
Marty smiles.

Marty smiles.
MARTY SUNSHINE
Mort Goodman uses an overhand right to knock the daylights out of Marty, putting him out cold, much to the satisfaction of a sold out crowd.
With Marty down, Mort looks to Carter. After a tense moment, Mort holds out his hand, and Carter shakes it. The two hug.
GUY REYNOLDS
This is crazy! Carter won the match--
he should be gloating and rubbing
it in Mort Goodman's face right now.
A loud "Purple Hayes" chant ensues.
Meanwhile, Grace Taylor has managed to find a microphone. She turns toward Carter.
Carter stares at her. She pokes him in the chest. Carter doesn't know what to expect.
Big pop from the crowd as Carter and Grace embrace. After a moment, Damian joins them, and all four throw their arms in the air in celebration.

You listen up, Goofball. I don't want to hear a word about

Two men with completely different worldviews. Two men

PROMO VIDEO
Shawn Cage sits inside of his private jet.
"Ian Wright is making a huge mistake by thinking that Shawn Cage is just
going to be an easy push over and lay down for him... And at Ascension,
this matchup between two legends in the making will be epic."
INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - "WRESTLETOWN PRESENTS: EPISODE ONE" - EVENING
Ian Wright stands inside of the ring with Pastor Matt Doyle, both leering out toward the runway, where a defiant Shawn Cage stands, the subject of the crowd's cheers.
SHAWN CAGE

chance to see your promo and
chance to see your promo and
learn what you're all about,
I thought I'd share with you

my promo, so that you can get

to know me a little better.
Shawn clicks the remote in his hand.
Suddenly on the screen, we get images, one after another, all of sex and various stars from the adult film industry-- Sasha Gray, Kelly Wells, Aurora Snow, Cyntheria-- one after another-- sometimes two after another. Oh, the scenes are blurred out because Shawn needs to keep his keep his job; but they are revealing enough to drive Ian crazy inside the ring.
We catch up with Ian Wright following a workout.
"Shawn Cage has no business being in the wrestling
industry.He belongs in a night club, or a comedy club,
or a strip club. And at Ascension, I'm going to see to it
that he never steps foot inside of a wrestling ring again."
INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - WRESTLETOWN PRESENTS: EPISODE TWO - EVENING
Shawn Cage is in the ring, celebrating a victory.
JESSE BARNES
Look out! Here comes Ian Wright
into the ring from the other
side! Where did he come from?
GUY REYNOLDS
I believe he was in the
crowd. Turn around Shawn!
If volume was action, there would be a riot inside of the Steel Mill Auditorium as the fans boo the Righteous One. Ian pays them no mind and calls for a microphone. Standing over Shawn Cage, looks down on the Canadian Controversy.
IAN WRIGHT
Shawn, I warned you when I
arrived that nobody likes a
potty mouth. And I am afraid,
Shawn, that you are gonna
have to be punished!
STILL SHOT:
INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - WRESTLETOWN PRESENTS: EPISODE TWO - EVENING
Ian mounts Shawn Cage and begins to force feed him the bar of soap.
IAN WRIGHT
You will not use obscene
potty talk in my town!
We're back with Shawn Cage in the private jet.
He sneers slightly, in that famous fuck you.. I'm Shawn Cage, bitch! way.
"My confidence, as you have noted may well play a part in my demise. But
why shouldn't I be confident, Ian? I mean, yes, you've been training to be
in the business since you were practically in diapers, at least you were
probably training in some sort of “Wrestling” anyway, but what does that
really matter to me? You've met nothing but generic wrestlers, fighters
who should barely be wrestling in dark matches, and now you're facing me.
INT. GYM - AFTERNOON
We're back inside the gym with Ian Wright.
"I am so sick and tired to listening to him run his mouth, on Social Timelines,
at the shows, on Twitter. Nothing but thug talk and F-Bombs. I'll save my
retort for inside the ring, and trust me, I will have the last word.
MONTAGE - SHAWN CAGE TWITTER POSTS:

We're back inside the gym with Ian Wright.
Ian swats dismissively at the air.
"Son, I've been preparing all along. While you run your gums and
train your thumbs, Ian Wright has been inside the gym, training to
give you the spanking your poppa should've given you two decades ago."
INT. PRIVATE JET - CONTINUOUS
"Are you taking notes Ian Wright? I personally feel that you've paid little to no attention to me, I'll be honest Mr. Wright, I'm using you this week to get closer to what I want. Once I beat you there will be no reason to not get the chance to move onto main events and huge title shots."
END OF PROMO SEQUENCE
INT. STEEL MILL AUDITORIUM - PRESENT
We are back inside of the Steel Mill Auditorium, at ringside, where Jesse Barnes and Guy Reynolds have been enjoying the promo along with the rest of us.
They both have smiles on their faces.
JESSE BARNES
Well, it is time folks. The talk is over. The time to fight is

Inside the ring, Meadow Leigh takes the center of the spotlight.
MEADOW LEIGH
Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is our
main event of the evening. It is scheduled for one
fall, and is for the Wrestletown Championship!
The opening riff of Switchfoot's "Afterlife" fill the arena, followed by the opening verse:
I've tasted fire I'm ready to come alive
I can't just shut it up and fake that I'm alright
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the afterlife
I'll let it burn the way the sunlight burns my skin
The way I feel inside, the way the day begins
I'm ready now
I'm not waiting for the other side
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
On the large screen, we are greeted with his image:
MEADOW LEIGH
First, now hailing from Holston, Pennsylvania,
weighing in at one hundred ninety eight
pounds,here is "Righteous" Ian Wright!
First, now hailing from Holston, Pennsylvania,

Ian steps through the curtain unto the runway. He's got his game face on-- all business tonight. He doesn't stop to bicker with fans or pose for any photos. He marches straight down to the ring.
Inside the ring, Ian bounces up and down, keeping warm.
JESSE BARNES
I get the feeling, folks, that Ian Wright, putting aside the
pride and back and forth and all of the talk about this being
a battle for the morality of Holston, recognizes that this is
for the most coveted title in Wrestletown.
GUY REYNOLDS
Now doubt, Jesse. Ian Wright has had some big matches
in his career. He is a former Wrestlefest winner in UWL.
He is a former number one contender to the top prize
in the IWA. But the gold, so far, has always escaped him.

And his opponent, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada,
weighing in at two hundred thirty one pounds,
he is the Canadian Controversy Shawn Cage!
JESSE BARNES
Yeah, but that's only gonna work so
many times with someone like Cage.
Once again, Cage traps an arm of Ian and again is looking to convert to an arm bar; but again, Ian is able to tug his arm loose with relative ease. This time, Ian finds himself on his feet, staring down at Cage, who is on his back.
And his opponent...
The opening verse of "Violent Rythm" floods the Steel Mill Auditorium.
They're acting like they want a riot
Its a riot I'll give 'em
As the sound climbs higher
On this violent rhythm
These snakes in the grass,
Supplying the venom
I ain't scared of your teeth,
I admire what's in 'em
You've been waiting in the shadows there, thinking you're hidden
But the truth is, you don't have the stomach to get 'em
Go on already hit 'em
Yeah you gotta be kiddin'
Wanna talk about a victim?
I'mma put you there with 'em!
MEADOW LEIGH
And his opponent, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada,
weighing in at two hundred thirty one pounds,
he is the Canadian Controversy Shawn Cage!
Shawn Cage wastes no time tonight. The moment he spots Ian inside the ring from the far side of the runway, Cage books toward the ring. Inside the ring, Ian Wright waves him on.
Cage slides into the ring and Ian uses a series of double ax handles to keep the Canadian under his control. Ian pulls up Cage and clinches him, employing a dirty boxing technique, keeping Cage tied up while using short hands and elbows to stifle the former porn star. An inside trip from Wright brings Cage to the canvas, and Wright is raining down elbows and punches on Shawn Cage.
JESSE BARNES
Ian has to be careful. Shawn Cage,
perhaps more than anything else,
is a talented submission fighter.

And just as he says it, Cage grabs hold of Ian's arm, and his legs go up in the air, looking to go over and around the neck of the Righteous One in pursuit of an arm bar.
But Ian's arm slips right out, and he returns to Cage' guard where he continues his ground and pound.

GUY REYNOLDS
I don't know. So far, Ian Wright's
submission defense looks pretty slick.
GUY REYNOLDS
Ian Wright is impressing the hell out of
me the way he seamlessly escapes all
of Shawn Cage's submission attempts.
JESSE BARNES
I don't know-- there's something funny
about that submission defense of his.
JESSE BARNES
Cage now is arguing with the ref, pointing at
Ian and making gestures toward his skin.
GUY REYNOLDS
I think...I think that Cage is implying that Ian
Wright is unreasonably slippery. We may have
accusations of greasing going on here, Jesse.
But I did't see Ian rub anything on himself at the
start of the match, and the referee checked him
JESSE BARNES
Wait a minute. I'll be it's that soothing bath oil he
was using. The one he bought from the Farmer's
Market earlier today. That stuff comes out through
his pours as Ian Wright sweats!
JESSE BARNES
A dirty shot there by Ian Wright.
GUY REYNOLDS
But I like the strategy. Ian Wright
is now back in the ring, and working
over that leg of Shawn Cage.
JESSE BARNES
Well one of the shortfalls of Shawn Cage is the
sheer volume of injuries he has had over his
storied career. A fractured right knee in '93, a turn
MCL in '95, a broken right leg in '09-- just to name a few.
GUY REYNOLDS
Perhaps Ian has done his homework because
he is fixated on that right leg of Shawn Cage.
GUY REYNOLDS
I'll tell you what's of further concern. I think
those oils that Ian used have made him not
only too slippery to submit, but two slippery
to apply a number of moves. It looked like
Cage had a tough time holding with the cradle.
Standing over Cage, Ian is looking for his opportunity to pounce; and when he thinks he's found it, he jumps in the air for a flying fist, only to eat an upkick square across the jaw by Shawn Cage. With Ian rolling around, holding his jaw, that is all that Shawn Cage needs to take control. He pulls Ian to his feet and begins taking him to town with a swift, powerful boxing combination before sending the Righteous One against the ropes and connecting with a big superkick!
Instead of going for the cover, Cage hops on top of Ian and looks to lock up a kimura, but almost immediately Ian is able to slip his wrist out of Cage's grip.

JESSE BARNES
I don't know-- there's something funny
about that submission defense of his.
Paying it no mind, and inside of Ian's guard, Cage uses an elbow in an attempt to open a cut in Ian's head. And then another. And then another. The fans are counting along, and by the time we've gotten to number ten, Ian's head bounces off the canvas. Cage grabs hold of Ian, looking for an anaconda vice.
But Ian Wright's head pops through the hold, and he is able to roll to the outside for a reprieve.

GUY REYNOLDS
Another escape by Wright. Man,
this guy is hard to hold down.

JESSE BARNES
Cage now is arguing with the ref, pointing at
Ian and making gestures toward his skin.
GUY REYNOLDS
I think...I think that Cage is implying that Ian
Wright is unreasonably slippery. We may have
accusations of greasing going on here, Jesse.
But I did't see Ian rub anything on himself at the
start of the match, and the referee checked him
JESSE BARNES
Wait a minute. I'll be it's that soothing bath oil he
was using. The one he bought from the Farmer's
Market earlier today. That stuff comes out through
his pours as Ian Wright sweats!
While Cage argues with the ref, Ian, from the outside, reaches in and grabs hold of Cage's leg, sweeping him to the ground, and ramming his leg against the ring post.
JESSE BARNES
A dirty shot there by Ian Wright.
GUY REYNOLDS
But I like the strategy. Ian Wright
is now back in the ring, and working
over that leg of Shawn Cage.
JESSE BARNES
Well one of the shortfalls of Shawn Cage is the
sheer volume of injuries he has had over his
storied career. A fractured right knee in '93, a turn
MCL in '95, a broken right leg in '09-- just to name a few.
GUY REYNOLDS
Perhaps Ian has done his homework because
he is fixated on that right leg of Shawn Cage.
Inside the ring, Ian continues to work over the right leg of the Canadian Controversy. Having sufficiently worked him over, Ian grabs both of Cage's legs, and goes for a figure four. Before he can perfect, however, Cage reaches up and scoops up Ian's head, taking him over with a small package for a
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT BY IAN!
Both men race to their feet, but with Cage's leg having been worked over, Ian beats Cage to his feet, and then sweeps Cage's leg out from under him, quite literally.

This is going to be a problem for Cage if
he cannot find a way to defend that leg.

GUY REYNOLDS
I'll tell you what's of further concern. I think
those oils that Ian used have made him not
only too slippery to submit, but two slippery
to apply a number of moves. It looked like
Cage had a tough time holding with the cradle.
Ian pulls Cage to his feet and bends over to grab hold of Cage's knee to life him for a knee breaker. In turn, however, Ian exposes his neck just long enough for Cage to grab hold of a guillotine choke. Holding onto the choke, Cage drops down and captures Ian in his guard. They are in the center of the ring. The crowd is going bonkers. We could be on the verge of crowning a new champion.
But again, Ian's head slips out.
The crowd is booing. A "bullshit chant ensues!"

GUY REYNOLDS
The crowd does not like what it is seeing.
JESSE BARNES
Can you blame them? It is so
patently obvious what Ian has done.
GUY REYNOLDS
Lets not jump to conclusions, Jesse.
We have no proof that Ian Wright did
anything wrong; and if he did, we don't
know if it was intentional or not.
Having slipped out of the choke and found himself in a top position, Ian used some more ground and pound to work over the ribs of Cage. Ian pulls cage up and begins clawing at his face.
IAN WRIGHT
You will respect my authority!
The crowd is booing, and they only pick up as Pastor Matt Doyle emerges onto the scene. At first, he stops halfway down the runway, watching from afar as Ian takes Cage over with a double underhook suplex.
JESSE BARNES
What is he doing here?
GUY REYNOLDS
I don't know. Maybe he's
here for moral support.
here for moral support.
JESSE BARNES
Quite frankly, I'm starting to think that Pastor Doyle is
having second thoughts about supporting Ian Wright's
morals, after the mess he made with his public interview
the other day, when he practically bastardized the whole town--
including Samantha Pavak, Pastor Doyle's daughter.
GUY REYNOLDS
In the meantime, he gets to watch Ian Wright do his
handiwork as he sends Shawn Cage against the ropes.
JESSE BARNES
Wait! A reversal by Cage and he
catches Ian Wright in a sleeper hold!

The hold, like all those before it, just doesn't stick, and Ian is able to pop his head out.
JESSE BARNES
What the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks, as Ian
Would put it. Even his face is sweating slick oil.
Would put it. Even his face is sweating slick oil.
As he escapes the hold, Ian connects with a side Russian leg sweep that buys him enough time to roll out of the ring for a breather-- just as Pastor Doyle has made his way down to ringside.
Pastor Doyle does not look happy. An argument between Ian and the pastor ensures.
Pastor Doyle grabs a large soda from comic book fan boy Chris Stipes, seated in the front row, and pours it all over Ian Wright.
Ian is about to blow a gasket when Cage, reaching over the top, grabs a handful of Ian's hair-- his soda-filled, sticky hair and tosses him into the ring.
Ian is on his knees, begging for reprieve, and manages an eye poke that derails Cage. Ian gets to his feet and jumps up for his "End of Discussion" Back Brain Kick-- but Cage catches Ian's leg; and given how sticky Ian's skin is now from the soda, Cage is able to drop down for a calf slicer submission. Ian is going nowhere, and he is forced to tap!
Cage hops to his feet still a bit wobbly from the way his leg was worked over, but he snatches his new belt from the time keeper.
Pastor Doyle, satisfied with how things placed out, leaves Ian Wright in the ring, as he slowly makes his way back to the dressing room.
Our parting shot is on Shawn Cage, our new Wrestletown Champion, celebrating on the second turnbuckle, with the gold held high over his head.

He did it! Shawn Cage has forced Ian Wright
