NO DOUBT

event: thursday night empire - 1/18
match: jael arcana-rosario vs. nicolette lyons vs. zakkii
promo number: two
word count: 1,437 words

scene one:
jan. 16, 2018 // vondelpark // amsterdam, netherlands // broadcasted

⇁ ☩ ↽

There is no elaborate intro as we see Jael leaning against a bridge at Vondelpark. She takes a deep breath as she admires the sea of green before her. There’s a smile on her face as she looks up at the clouds, noticing how the despite the onset of a rainstorm, the sun still peeks through them ever so slightly. She’d save the sightseeing for later, though.

JAEL ARCANA-ROSARIO: “Despite the fact that I’ve belittled the two of you, I’m still taking this fight very seriously. Why? Because I’m not here to ‘just win’. No, I’m after something that goes beyond this week, something more than just a arm raised in victory. This match represents how the rest of the roster will look at me, not only as a competitor, but as a part of this complex machine we call Empire. No matter how determined I am for the world to see what I’m made of, I’m not begging for respect or attention. I won’t even have anything to prove this Thursday, because everything I can do in the ring, I can back it up with the truth I speak. I certainly will not be the girl with anything to prove this Thursday. I’ll leave that to my competition.”

“This will be a match people will be looking back on for years to come, just not for the reasons you think, Nicolette. Not only do I applaud Haruna for her honesty, but I tip my hat to you for yours as well. You say that you’re not familiar with me, but by the the end of our first encounter, you’ll remember me as the one who stole the spotlight away from you.”

“You “legit have no idea” who you’re sharing that ring with, and to be honest, I’m not sure where to help you with that. I’ve spoken out, what, two times now? And people still don’t know how to unravel me, let alone how to make themselves look like a threat against me. See Nicolette, you aren’t the only arrogant one here. I mean, even Haruna admitted she’s headed into this match with selfish tendencies. But you, Nicolette, you’ve put all of your attention on Haruna, and like a leech, you’re sucking away at all of her ‘determination’ to fight. You know for being the best, you sure don’t know how to formulate a realistic game plan. I’m sure you don’t need me to remind you this isn’t Nicolette Lyons versus Haruna Sakazaki, it’s a triple threat match. Let’s see how far ignorance can get you, I doubt it’ll take you far.”

Jael takes her arms off the bridge, and steps closer towards the camera.

JAEL ARCANA-ROSARIO: “Being the best hurts. Like I said before, this match means more than first impressions. We’re not here to outdo one another or see who’s the most popular out of the three of us, but if that’s what it takes to outshine you, I’ll gladly put myself through it. Me and you Nicolette, we’re both barely beginning this climb up the mountain, and that’s the truth of it all. One mistake, a few words falling on deaf ears, and you’re well on your way to falling. And though we share this path together, don’t think I’m going to be grateful enough to help you climb to the top.”

“But hey, if I fall, I have nothing holding me back except my skin and bones. You have your luxury and your wealth to help break your fall. Money can’t buy you happiness, just like you can’t get me to buy this whole ‘best in the world’ shtick.”

“Good old Haruna. I’ve been awaiting your reply, I was starting to think you’ve grown a bit intimidated by me. Are you surprised that your competition this week actually bites back? I’m only messing with you. Seriously, it’s like I tell you one thing and it goes out the other. “New year, old returning me,” is basically all that you’ve said, and I’m positive that’s all you believe. If it wasn’t broke the first time, why’d you go ahead and try to fix it? It’s okay to admit you’ve messed up Haruna, but at this point, why do you bother? You won’t get sympathy points from me, and it certainly won’t spare you from the battle I’m prepared to bring this Thursday.”

“I know I’m not the only one calling you a failure. Nicolette has said the same, but as I’ve said before, I’m not here to blend into the vast sea known as Empire. I can’t be the one to directly bring change into your wandering life, but I can be your rude awakening. Let’s take a look at all you’ve said, shall we?”

Jael extracts a phone from her pocket, and replays a clip from Haruna Sakazaki’s address.

HARUNA SAKAZAKI: “I am here and still here until now while a lot of girls who claimed have a bigger heart, bigger guts, and bigger might than me...are no longer here.”

JAEL ARCANA-ROSARIO: “And to an extent, you’re right. There’ve been girls who’ve crumbled at the pressure of hanging with the likes of you, there’s no doubt about it. Only you’ve made the mistake of generalizing every newcomer to those you’ve faced in the past. You’ve got your Cailin Dillions, your Sheridan Müllers, your Lexi Diemoses—all who left with a legacy behind them. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, Haruna, I get it. But let it sink in: those women left with more to their names than you’ve ever been handed chances. You think you’re safe now that they’re gone? Look around you: new blood around these parts runs thick, and deeper than the rut you’ve fallen into. Anything is possible as long as you actually battle your personal demons and come out on top. It’s how Megan Raine was able to put her first stint with the company behind her, and defeat Consuela Rose Ava at King of Elite. You’ve also got to be willing to do anything and everything to make yourself known in this division. You really think that for a second Chelsea Crowe trusts April Song? We all know she’s found another victim to cast under her spell, and when she’s had enough, she’ll toss her aside and rise to the top on her own.”

“Those faces who’ve spit in your face and laughed and call out your failures? They’re still here. They’ve only changed their name and their game. It’s as simple as that, ‘sweetie’.”

A soft chuckle.

JAEL ARCANA-ROSARIO: “Don't be so foolish, Haruna: in order to have new beginnings, something must end. And no, I'm not talking about your brief stint as Sheridan Müller’s puppet. Deep down, you're still the same person you've always been. A Haruna full of anxiety and doubt, a Haruna who can't seem to get the big one. A new nickname and a change of wardrobe is bound to move anyone with false hope, but for your sake, I hope you wake up from your warped reality soon. The new chapter of your life starts and ends here for you. That’s not me spouting vague threats either, I’m simply giving you advice. Walk away.”

“You say you’d go as far as to take my momentum away from me in order to surpass me. Really? You think that intimidates me? I don’t believe you’re taking anything away from me, not this week, not ever. All it does is prove that even against some ‘rookie,’ you couldn’t get it done on your own. You had to depend on my weaknesses instead of bringing your strengths to the table.”

“You’re the one who has to prove yourself to me, Zakkii. Let that fact sink in.”

Jael turns away from the camera, letting an elongated sigh escaping her. After briefly looking over the greenery, she speaks again.

JAEL ARCANA-ROSARIO: “The two of you are heading into our match with doubts: about me, about yourselves, about why you’re even here. But me? I have nothing to fear, and nothing to question except for why the two of you couldn’t do any better. This fight is more than me, and for that, I’m prepared to bring more than just my ‘best’. I’m finding confidence as we countdown the days until Empire, because this is my moment. Neither of you are prepared to take it away from me.”

“I am Jael Arcana-Rosario. Remember my name, because it’ll be the only one people will be saying after this week is over.”

She gives a quick glance towards the camera before walking away. The camera pans up to the sky, leaving us with the lingering presence of the clouds. Fade to black.

Dynasty I

Disappointment, despair, shame, humiliation. Those are only a few of the emotions I felt and still feel after King of Elite came and went. It's been over a week since Theron forced me to devour my words, to chew on them thoroughly and to thrust them unceremoniously down into my gullet. He had me twisting and turning on a dime throughout the week, I was all over the place in a feeble attempt to shield myself from his fiery accusations and his relentless fact spitting. I was eating out of the palm of his hand just like he wanted me to. The man is ahead of his years, there's no denying that anymore. He paid his dues, he earned his spot, it's still a wait and see as to what he'll do with it, but I'm tired of reiterating over the fact that Theron can't get it done when it matters the most. I was like a child's doll during the week prior to King of Elite, if you pulled the string enough times eventually the same lines would spew on out and then you would eventually grow tired of the fabricated slander. Failure isn't going to make me stronger as Keelan might say, it's just going to make me more aware. It's going to teach me not to royally fuck up again and to avoid making those same critical mistakes. I don't know. I'm not over it, I'm still feeling the after-effects, I've been replaying the scenes of the match over and over in my head like an old projector. I think it's safe to say that not enough weed or booze in the world could extinguish the thoughts that run roughshod through my head like a chaotic herd of wild stallions. I'm not going to make any excuses, I lost, fair and square, but when you get knocked down it's up to your own accord as to whether you want to stand back up or not. Nasir Morscobar was right in saying that I still have my Hardcore Championship to fall back on but that still doesn't erase the image of Theron wearing that crown proudly on his head and how demoralizing it was for me to witness his ascension deep within his shadow, but as for the Hardcore Championship, at least with the fresh albeit unfamiliar meat rolling on into Dynasty maybe I'll get an actual challenge on my hands and not an over-the-hill wishy-washy come and go, Hall of Famer like Hurricane Hawk or a man who is seemingly going through a life-altering identity crisis like Ahren Fournier. Whatever the case may be, this is how destiny's hand has been played out before me and I'm simply going to have to deal with it one way or another. I'm not seeking out pity, I don't expect it nor would I accept it. I don't require people to gently pat me on my back and say "It's going to be okay." because it's not, this one will sting for a while and it might even scar me for life, but it wouldn't be the first time something has left its eternal mark on me and it certainly won't be the last. The only thing that is left to do now from here on out is to hit my mental reset button but I'm not so sure it exists. It is what it is, King of Elite now rests comfortably in the record books and there's not a damn thing I can do about it except to get back on the grind.

It starts with Cody Marshall.

I wish I could welcome you to Dynasty under better circumstances but as it is you're standing directly in the line of fire. I need someone to take out my frustrations on as there's a solid week plus of pent-up aggression boiling furiously inside of me, it's like a bubbling cauldron; a witch's brew. You're in the wrong place at the wrong time Cody and unfortunately, I don't think Voltage would take you back considering you stunk up the joint and you were nothing but cannon fodder on that brand. You're lucky that Dynasty plucked you from obscurity or else you would be on the outside looking in, unfortunately, they didn't do you any favors by dropping your ass into the graveworm's lair, it isn't luxurious down here let me tell you, it isn't in the preferred style of an A-lister, nobody is going to be there to powder your cheeks or trim a few pesky nose hairs that look like fucking cable wires on you, nobody will be there to tell you that you look simply stunning, they won't spin you around in your chair so you can admire yourself in the mirror. Instead, there's nothing but squirming maggots, chittering beetles, unrecognizable decaying carcasses and tons of dirt. Listen, I don't have a bone to pick with you Cody, this isn't going to be personal, for me, I just need to clear my mind, think of it as a therapeutic release and since you like playing roles so much, you'll be a perfect fit in the new action-packed thriller entitled "Punching Bag" because that's all you are to me.

Dynasty isn't Hollywood Cody, not even close, I hate to break it to you but Dynasty isn't filled with pretentious aspiring actors and actresses or slutty bimbos that had to resort to the porn industry because they couldn't make it on the big stage. Life on Dynasty is quite rough, hell, it's dismal, if we're being honest. That's why you've witnessed so many superstars on this brand drop like flies and all the way out of EAW. Men like Hurricane Hawk, men like Scott Diamond, men like Tyler Parker all with Hall of Fame resumes. They couldn't hang with the fiery and volatile youngbloods that this brand has to offer, they couldn't come to terms with the fact that their careers were dwindling by a thread so they bolted even though the damage was already done. The same could be said for you, you were the proverbial turd in the punch bowl on Voltage, you had so much potential and countless opportunities to maximize it, but you let it all go to waste. So what do you do to better yourself? What do you do to change the narrative? You hightail it to the bright lights of Hollywood and star in a mediocre show that nobody has heard of and would rather binge watch the CSPAN channel. I advise you to take off your Hollywood goggles for a second and focus on the task at hand, I know this business has been cruel to you lately, I know you're looking for ground to stand on, but don't blame the business, blame yourself. Your head isn't in the game and that just makes you easy pickings to the likes of men like me.

I told you last week on Dynasty that if you want this Hardcore Championship then you'll need the grace of God by your side and if you don't believe in a higher power, then you better start. We don't pussyfoot around here on Dynasty, you might have gotten away with your half-assed efforts on Voltage since you were lost in the shuffle and nobody turned a cheek towards you anyway, but here on Dynasty we're a tight-knit group and even if the roster has filled out a little bit, nothing on Dynasty goes unnoticed. Since you made the bright move of deeming yourself as the best acquisition that Dynasty made this past week without any concrete evidence to back up that claim, you should realize that the ravenous jackals that were already on Dynasty are going to put you to the test to see if that is actually the case, I'm one of those said jackals and I got a fresh 6'8" hunk of prey sitting pretty in my sites. From what I see? Your new Hollywood lease on life is just an overblown farce. You're still that same piece of sister fucking trailer park trash. Every piece of your home decor was once used to kill a woodland creature, Christmas lights are on your trailer year round and your family get-togethers equal one full set of teeth. You're not fooling anybody. You're using Hollywood as a petty distraction, it's a smokescreen in order to absolve yourself from looking into the mirror each passing day and seeing the same old knuckle dragger that stares desolate daggers back at you. It's okay Cody, we've all tried to be something we're not. There's no shame in trying new things. You're trying your hand at Dynasty, you view it as an opportunity to rectify what has become of your name. You're trying to rid yourself of what happened on Voltage. I get it, but the thing is, what haunted you on Voltage still lingers in the air and it's a gloomy cloud over your head. No matter what you do, you cannot exorcise those Voltage demons, you're still a colossal disappointment no matter which way you slice it. I'm sure there are those who want you to succeed both in wrestling and in Hollywood but with your limited skillset you cannot have it both ways. You're not succeeding in either field as it stands. So put your dreams of having your own Hollywood square on the back burner, I want you to unleash that pure inner Texan that we've all come and known to grow tired of, just remember whether you're in Hollywood or back in the lone star state you're still a lumbering 6'8" stack of shit and wasted potential.

Voltage #5:

“Chicago Boy”

“You know You and I have some similarities. This system: It’s fucking broken. Not broken like fractured, but flawed. No the system work perfectly for those who wish to use it. Those who ascend to their thrones and call themselves ‘Kings of the Elite’. Now I fully understand your pain…….. Sadly I don’t give a shit”.

“What happened Nate? Get pushed around in the EAW High playground? Had enough because you couldn’t reach the gold? I’ve had the same trials and tribulations, thankfully, I found the conviction to go at it from a different angle, instead of sitting there sulking. Do you want to avenge your injustices and get what’s rightfully yours? Well sitting around and acting like you’re Hotshit on DeDeDe’s Microphones isn’t gonna do you any good. Unlike our similarities, Our Differences are very Stark, We’ve been mistreated, but You’ve done nothing but sit there like an entitled child and continue to Bitch and Moan on the Microphone. I on the other hand decided to use the opportunity of being here. I’ve got a plan, a goal here on Voltage….. And that goal runs right, through, you”.

“And it’s funny, being such a physically unprepared and worthless sack of flesh, that you for some reason chose to rebrand your failing IP as a ‘Hardcore No Mercy Avenger’. Give me a break, or don’t, since I know the second your pompous mitts cling to that Microphone, you’ll be shooting a Hailstorm of untrue, worthless spite right at me. Another difference between us is that I’m able to make up for everyone of my losses. What about you? Trying to make up Tenfold by crying on the mic. Pathetic”.

“Nathan Fiora. Fellow Chicago Boy, and a good representation of the entitlement and tantrums that fill our city. You want to yell ‘No Mercy’ at me, and claim to try and beat my head in. Well Go Ahead. See how far you get, Hardcore Boy, Because the second you step into that ring trying to act like you’re some big, bad, hotshot. When in reality you’re just a mistreated C - List competitor that Kenny Drake hired solely to feed to better wrestlers. When we meet in that ring, I’m going to Assault, Brutalize, and I’m going to leave you in that ring Battered and Bloody, so that maybe the next time you rebrand, you’ll choose a gimmick motto you can actually physically backup, because the only Hardcore incidents you’ll be involved here, is me eating you alive”.

<-- Dynasty 12-1-18 - Manchester Arena, Manchester -->

After suffering yet another defeat, and worse, at the hands of his arch nemesis Arselx The King looks dejected and annoyed, coming round, groggy, he see's Arselx celebrating on the turnbuckle, pandering to the crowd. 'The Chaos' he thinks ... what a silly nickname. Now 'The King' that's no nickname, no, that's a moniker, a mantra, a way of life, his way of life ... was he really just going to lie there and let 'The Chaos' get the better of him? Yes. Yes he was, he could barely stand, tumbling under the bottom rope, using the apron, and then the barricade to steady himself as he left the area, his arena. His hometown. His people. As he stumbled out of the very building he used to work in, listening to the fans admiring - In his opinion - the wrong guy. He gets to the top of the ramp, looks around, Arselx still basking in his glory ... he mutters, softly, quietly... "One day Arselx.... One Day" he leaves through the curtain, rubbing his head, still groggy.

--*--

A dark room, grungy, with a dark hue, an unsettling grey tone throughout the entire room. With nothing but a throne in the middle, with its back to the camera, it's missing one corner of it's back piece. The camera pans round we see The king sat on the throne. The red velvet harsh against the grey overtones, reminiscent of Schindler's List. He is wearing his now accustomed blacked out sports track suit. He is holding his sceptre (the missing part of the throne) in his hand, cherishing it, stroking it as if it where a cat on his lap.

"Last week, I made my very first appearance on the Dynasty Show in my hometown of Manchester, England! It was perfect - or it should have been, it was fate, destiny, what could have been more perfect that coming home a hero and slaying the beast of neo! Alas that wasn't the case, instead of stumbled out of there like a punk, adding another tally to my ever growing loss column."

A look of utter disgust is embroiled across the King's face. Suddenly his face snaps up, sharply.

"Enough talk of the past!" He shouts
"Enough talk of Arselx and NEO, and those that have come before ... we move on together, me and my brother, my better half, my nicer half... he's been go for so long, he must hate how I dress now, See when I've got beef I get blacked out down to my feet. I don't get suited and booted like a business man . And I swear on my mums life it's the kind of tracksuit man use when they got beef. Blacked out down to the feet. Im sick and tired of man saying that they're gonna' smack man about and all that. But when they see me in the flesh they don't want it. I've got a lot to prove here, I'm still yet to win. I came in here full of piss and vinegar ready for a fight and got my arse handed to me, - well the other me. Now I have to show up and prove that the King isn't to be trifled with."

He stands up from the throne, gives his sceptre a twirl, and walks towards the camera, using the sceptre as a walking stick, still on uneasy legs from his battle with Arselx.

"But how many times can I say that? How many times can I blame the other man? How many times can I say next time? Is this the last time? The last time I say next time? or is this just another time? Another time for me to say next time?"

He looks as confused as everyone else feels, and hobbles back to his throne and plonks himself down like a teenager sent to his bedroom.

"Leave me now, I need to think"

The camera pans away, leaving The King to his thoughts and fades to black

-- * --

<-- EAW Performance Centre -->

The King is seen in the Performance Centre training, training harder than ever, working on his bumps, rolls, and rope running. A young female interviewer approaches.

"Mr Kapah, can we get a few words please?"

The King doesn't answer, he runs the ropes some more

"Mr Kapah?"

The King stops, grabs his black towel, wipes away his sweat and talks softly

"If you wish to speak to me young lady, I suggest you address your King properly."

the interviewer looks taken aback, but as a professional, she continues on.

"I'm sorry, your majesty?"

"That's better, you may continue"

The King sits on the apron, towel around his neck.

"So Mr ... King?" (The King nods) "You have been on a run of loses since joining us here at EAW, you have promised week after week that you will win next time, yet you seem to have failed to deliver on your promises, what do you have to say to that?"

"What kind of question is that?! You expect me to answer such a belittling and worthless question such as that? Yes I have lost, yes I keep promising next time will be the right time, but what gives you the right to ask me?"

She looks a little upset

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to raise my voice, you, you touched a nerve. Look, I haven't taken a day away from this place since my last defeat, I'm working harder, smarter, faster. I have to keep control - I mean, I have to win. I need to win. I need to prove to myself that I have it in me, that I belong here. You've seen me wrestle, but, you haven't seen me fight. Not yet. And when the bell next rings, and I'm face to face with my opponent this week, there will be nothing to stop me. Arselx may have my number, but I will have Mr Steele's this week in Norway."

"Which brings me nicely onto my next question. This week live From The Telenor Arena in Oslo, Norway, you go one on one with Sam Steele. What do you think of your opponent this week?"

"Well, I'm big into doing my research, but ya know, I couldn't find a single thing on this guy. Or his lackey, this Mike Shaw. So I'm going into this contest blind... And you know what they say about backing an animal into a corner, there's only one way out and that's through Sam Steele. So we'll see what he's made of come Friday. I'm just sick of playing around now, now more Mr Nice King if you know what I mean"

"I'm not quite sure I do, but thank you for your time and good luck in your upcoming match"

"Luck ... Mr Steele is the one that needs look."

The King gets back into the ring, and is joined by a sparing partner, he is seen throwing some viscous looking knees and elbow strikes as the camera follow the interviewer to her next interviewee.

-- * --

The King is seen in his personal area, sat comfortable on his thrown, sceptre in hand, and a mean look on his face. He takes the sceptre and without hesitation uses it to cut open his hand, he stares at it, undeterred by his own blood. He looks into his reflection from the sharp gem that tops his sceptre.

"Not today brother, not again. I'm in charge and I'm going to show you how to win."
The camera fades to black as this split personality issue continues to develop.

Re: EAW Promoz! January 16th 2018, 9:31 am by **『zakkii』**

I am so glad that my opponents have some thought about this match, say it to the world about how they feel about going for their first match in EAW and they are talking about me especially. For that, I give you two an appreciation because you two showed me that you are willing to fight with all you've got to win this match and I truly respect that. That is one point of my interest of this match to see how you really have a will to win. Just one point, though. Not sure about the others that makes me really thinking of you two as a worthy opponent for me. But we're getting there. We're off to a good start!

"New year, new me" as people would say in my situation, but this is more like "New year, old returning me". I am now somebody that I used to enjoy being. Can't you see all the smile, the joy of my tone when I talk. This is me... the REAL me that I abandoned long time ago for a hazy utopia of a greatness caused by human nature who always wants more and never got satisfied with everything they want. I was wrong..... I was all wrong the entire time. I let my fear of not being recognized controlled me and it drives me into a darker, miserable path. But well, it happened. I have nothing or no one to be blamed. Now it's my job to change myself by learning all the mistake I made. And this is the way I should take. I have no regret to start over it.

And by the way, concerning about what Miss Rosario said about me being a failure. Don't worry.... I am not getting offended by that. I already get used to all my opponent calling me a failure. I still can smile because I never feel like I am a failure at all. I am here and still here until now while a lot of girls who claimed have a bigger heart, bigger guts, and bigger might than me.... are no longer here. The one who called me a failure, the one who point her finger at me and saying I am not tough enough. They are no longer here, sweetie. They are vanished, forgotten, gone and nobody will ever know who they are anymore. Oh, do you think gold will measure your success, huh? That's pretty much a nonsense to me. No matter how many titles you have or those accolades you have. If you stop fighting, you failed. Am I stop fighting? NO, I am here, ready to break you and I am going to keep doing this and maybe... just maybe, when I am still fighting and getting victory, you won't be here anymore. You will get bored and eventually stop fighting, in that point, we shall see who the failure really be.

No, I am not living under anyone's shadow. I don't need anyone's cover to keep walking forward. I have my own legs and I use it efficiently to keep on advancing. Not Sheridan, not Azumi, not anybody in this world! I have my own will and all of those makes me survive until the point of where I stand. Even when I apparently made a stupid decision, when it comes to fight in this ring, I am still doing my very best, showing the world what I've got and in the end, People still look at me as one credible fighter and still giving me an applause of appreciation. That is what makes me keep fighting despite all of those defeats. All those cheers, all those appreciations that comes right in front of my eyes conclude something that I am not weak, I am still able to make them proud. I know what I am doing, and I never think that you of all people are the one who actually can stop me. You showed me the first impression of yourself. You want to show me more? Good, I love someone who are serious with her own match and I love beating people like that. The bigger you think you have that influence, the greater feeling that I get when I defeat you. We have a lot of things to prove and only one can make a bigger influence. I am not planning to pass this opportunity to show people what I really capable of to any of you. I am getting my momentum, I will have yours if that is a necessary thing to do.

Again, the obstacle in this road is not a one big roadblock, but two roadblocks. I have another one that I have to beat to grab this victory. Miss Lyons, the spoiled brat who came here for whatever reason that I honestly don't care about. When people just look at her just by the looks and body figures and quickly judge that you can't wrestle and doesn't belong in this big league. Yeah, don't listen to them. Who the hell they are telling you that you don't deserve to compete here. They are not a judge..... but I do. I will be the judge for all of them and I decide your capability when you go inside that ring to face me. I want to prove them wrong that you can actually wrestle. I want to feel how hard your strike is... well, if you ever land one on me anyway. Let alone if you ever win this match which is... eeh, slightly unlikely. Am I underestimate you anyway? You decide this point. But one thing that you should know about me, this is a big league indeed, and when you see someone got defeated, especially me, ooh it's not easy to win against me, sunshine. I left a scar that will mark them and contemplating that I am a strong, formidable opponent. I can't be defeated easily. And it's not a problem of me underestimating you, it's in reverse.... Are you underestimating me? Do you think beating me is as easy to get some money from your daddy? You're wrong, my dear. And it's my job to knock your head and makes you evaluate your decision about underestimating me ever again.

Hey, I feel you.... I know what it's like to be a model, singer and wrestler at the same time. I've been in this thing, dealing with everything all at once way before you still wonder how your future will be. I am not doing this just because I am bored and have nothing to do in my life. I am doing this for one reason. Responsibility. I am a woman with strong will that can do impossible things most people are unable to do. And I am here to show them that they can too. I am small, I am not physically tough but I have a heart that strong as a steel and I am showing the entire world that I can survive this harsh world. I am being yourself, nobody can ever change who I am right now. I am not going anywhere if I am not listening to someone back there who paid me to do this, right? You only see with your naked eyes that I am a loser just because I lost too many. I met a lot of people like you and end up gone with the win. You might be no different with the rest of those girls and to be honest, I am seeing you the same like those girls. I've met people like you, I've beaten a lot of people like you and I can't see the reason why are you able to defeat me in the first place. I am pretty sure that you are going to give your all in this match to beat a "loser" like me. You are not going to stand in that ring with me half-heartedly and think you can win against this loser without your full force, huh? Just do whatever you want. You want to change everything the world said about you, right? Well, I have that objective to and my will is bigger than yours. With all that attitude, you mean nothing and that won't prove them anything. I am going to make you feel embarrassed with the fact that the woman you called a loser ironically humiliate you and not even a pile of your dad's money can recover this humiliation.

In the end, even I faced two rookies that have their own reason to prove herself, I am not planning to lose against them. Call me selfish or anything, but I don't care about what they say about me and what they're gonna do to me. Hey, none of these people want to put them and their whatever reason over, right? I do the same too. I have my own reason to fight, I am going to do it. Nobody will ever stop me, not even these two. They are two great wrestlers, kind of. But if they have bigger hearts, they will surely figure out what to do when in the end in this match, I will come victorious. They might start to plan what to do.... or creating some excuses like some opponents before you. …. calling this future defeat as a fluke, maybe? It's a classic excuse but it works. Eeh, anyway, I see you two this Thursday, make sure you two bring all you got to face this little "loser" and "failure"! I like to see an ironic thing happen.

Last week, Woogieman has make a Debut to face Maddox Ayres. I also defeated him with School Pin. I really sure that, He really doesn't like it at all. I know He'll get his Revenge sooner or later. He'll be more focused without The Crowd reacts.

Now This week I'll face Arselx on Friday Night Dynasty in Oslo, Norway. I'll be Prepared for him. He's one of the Most Impressive Prospects from NEO. I already know that, This man isn't no Pushover. He's animal. We got The Commentators are calling him as The Chaos for reason. Sometimes Bad happens your Opponents if, They're standing in his way. Obviously, I really need to be careful with this guy. His Match with Kohop Kapah wasn't bad at all. Watching a Tape always be smart to study your opponent to make You much better as The Competitor and Wrestler.

I'll be ready for Friday Night. I'm not going to be Overconfidence or Past my Opponent like The Steelers. They're Running your mouth about The New England Patriots. They'd not been beating them for awhile. They'd their Number. They really forget who's The Head Coach and Quarterback on The Patriots. Now, The Jacksonville Jaguars beat them this week. They overlook The Jags Defense. They just prove that, They'd be silent just like Patriots.

I'll see My Opponent. I'm sure that, He's ready for me. I know He'll try to Destroyed me and Especially Concuss me as well. I'm just here to win lot of things. I still have lot of things to prove in this business. I really wanted to be all time Great. I'm going to do what I really do best. Just get ready kid...

Man, you really are sounding more and more like Keelan over on Voltage by the minute…

That is an impressive list of championship opportunities you have had the chance of gunning for, Azumi. I mean, REALLY impressive. I am sure you put your all into each and every single matches you had. From the Pure Title, the Tag Team Titles, the EAW Women’s World Title, but also the Specialists Rampage and the Empire Cup too. It completely slipped my mind that you actually won Control in the Vault, Azumi. I shouldn’t put this fact past you. But obviously there was a reason I had forgotten that you won that and I can just about promise you, Azumi, that so many other individuals had forgotten you won it too. I mean, weren’t you supposed to run an episode of Empire for one week or something like that? What the hell happened to that guarantee for you? You won Control in the Vault! Amazing! Congratulations for doing nothing with it! Here’s the thing, Azumi. You can continue to list off all the opportunities you’ve had, but it is all meaningless to me, and you want to know why? It is simply because you have failed. Time and time again, failure lurks behind you like a creepy stalker. You say that the two years you have had here in Elite Answers Wrestling have changed you but I still see the same old Azumi Goto over on my end. Like I said earlier in the week, you can openly tell me all of the nicknames you so arrogantly gave yourself, but at the end of the day, it’s just… you. What have you done in your career to make you Arrogance Personified? What have you done in your career to actually give yourself the nickname of The Ace? Not a damn thing. And honestly, if you think you are standing on the edge of complete stardom then you are even more delusional than you look. The only thing you’ll be standing on the edge of is the top of that ladder this Thursday on Empire, and let me tell you Azumi… it’s a long, long way back down. But, just like always, you will return to the pit of irrelevance you always attempt to climb yourself up from.

It is such a vicious cycle for you, Azumi, and it baffles me how you are unable to see the mistakes you are making. The will not to quit? Are you fucking serious?! What you are doing is so evidently the definition of insanity! Continuing to brush yourself up after getting knocked down and climbing up once again hoping for a different result every time is not going to work for you. You need to do something different, and you may speak of how your failures have changed you, it doesn’t speak of how you travel through your pathway of glory. Surely you cannot say that you have thrived in the environment you are currently in as others who have debuted on Empire way, WAY later than you did passed you by. Why are you so proud to be so stagnant? You are just confusing me, and worst of all, you are confusing yourself. Azumi honest to god, you are not even trying. It almost pains me to see you trying to do the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. You should not be okay with the fact that I managed to find success in the very short timeframe I have been here while you have yet to prove your worth. You’re an individual who should be representing the great country of Japan with your skills and talent and yet you stay seated in your chair of medocrity. But, surely it’s okay if you have a smile on your face and you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and try the same thing again, right?!

Wrong.

You speak of the fact that you are walking into this championship ladder match this week thinking that this match is not against me, but everybody you failed against in the past? What the fuck does that even mean, Azumi?! So when you look at me on the opposite side of the ring this Thursday, are you going to see Aria Jaxon? Are you going to see Madison Kaline? Kendra Shamez? Cameron Ella Ava? I’m going to be real with you for a minute, Azumi. The only individual that has had the most against you and the only individual that has given you the most doubt in not only your career but your life as a whole… is you. It’s all you, Azumi. You are probably unable to see it through your delusion, but it’s the cold, honest truth. The fact that you think that it is okay to continue to try and do the same thing over and over again and have the decency to say that it’s you getting better is just astounding. How many times is it going to take you to realize that what you’re doing is a complete and utter waste of time? I’m even going to offer you advice, Azumi, and hope that you are able to take it under advisement and actually use it against me. The next time you open your mouth to speak, please, for the love of god, tell me exactly how this time will be different from all the rest. Tell me how this match will finally be your crowning jewel as you finally reach that final rung on the ladder, unhook that title and become the new EAW Specialists Champion. I feel like you owe me, and everybody listening, a proper explanation as to how I will be the champion you will dethrone for your own personal prestige. If you happen to come out with the same stuff you’ve been saying all week, then I should let you know that you will have already accepted defeat. I can see right through you, but I want you to prove me otherwise. I will not be taking to you kindly, Azumi Goto. I expect an orthodox clarification. Provide me one, or fall to your knees and beg for The Storm to not wipe your entire career away before your very eyes. You were trained to be unbreakable? Highly doubtful, but prove me wrong. You were trained to do nothing but wrestle? Highly doubtful, but prove me wrong. You believe your failures make you better? Definitely false, but… I’d love to see how you would be able to prove me wrong on that one. Especially since all you have ever done in your career here in EAW is fail, and remained on the same repetitive loop for the past two years.

It is one thing to be willing to climb up again after getting knocked back down, but it’s a completely different thing to actually figure out how you are going to do something about it. You think you have walked through every bullet I have fired so far, but I’m not over here firing blanks, Azumi. Everything I have thrown at you is nothing but the pure and honest truth but you are just unwilling to admit to it. You may accept the failure you have become as a competitor, but you deny the fact that it is your own fault these failures have come your way. You are your own biggest critic, hater and sceptic, but your stupidity blinds you from seeing all this. Azumi, my sweet little sushi roll, you will not take this belt away from me. You are going to lose, sweetheart. You might think there is nothing to lose in this match because you don’t hold championship gold like me, but another loss for you will just prove all of my words right will it not? You should be thanking me because I am the only decent enough woman in this entire women’s division to give you the wake up call you need to break out of your loop. The only way I can do that is to defeat you. I can’t put you down? Bitch, just fucking watch me. They don’t call me The Storm for no reason, because I cannot wait to blow you out of the water.

The storm is coming…

THE STORM IS COMING.

Re: EAW Promoz! January 16th 2018, 2:01 am by **Ryan Marx**

THE NEW CHAPTER
VOLTAGE I

Why did I come to Voltage?

The scene fades in, revealing Ryan Marx stood amongst the ruins of what was his 'church'. Chairs lie haphazardly across the floor, windows are broken, and he lingers in the dark, stoic.

It has already been stated. For the title. Though it runs deeper than just a lust for gold. I am here to uproot every safe space that has been built on this land, every plateauing standard that the men on top have built for this brand, and replace it with chaos. True chaos. The kind that is unpredictable and unrelenting.

As I will be in my first Voltage match. And how fitting that I take my place where I belong: in the main event. Against a man I have much to say about. A man who represents this issue I have with Voltage as a whole. Finnegan, you stand on this brand as the New Breed Champion, a title I have brief experience with. And I can safely say that my stint as champion held more value than your reign.

Why do I say that? Perhaps it is because my reign, whilst being short, elevated that belt. I took it from a pre-show attraction to the main card, in a match that made one of Voltage's current 'stars', Lars Grier. The New Breed bent to my will, they listened to my words for I was their leader. I won it in a fashion that had people talking, had people speculating. And when I lost it, it fell from grace, falling into the hands of men who were outshined by the gold around their waist. All because they could not reach my standard. It is safe to say you are not one of those men who has been outshined by the title – but that is only because you have made its glow so dull that I forgot you even held that belt.

You are just one of a few men who uphold this standard of mediocrity that is running rampant through Voltage's 'stars'. Your title win was so anticipated – I remember seeing the crowd cheering you on at Pain for Pride, willing you to win. You fell short. And then, after finally winning the title, you have reduced it to a value synonymous with the belt that I used to own. But even then, that title had more weight as it at least had an impact on me. You've reduced the New Breed title to an afterthought, not a beacon of hope for the future. And it is all because of you and your fixation with things that do not matter: respect, and proving yourself.

Both of which are outdated concepts. When it becomes your goal to prove yourself, as you have stated you wish to do numerous times in the past, you become nothing more than Atlas, holding up the weight of people's expectations. Only you do not have the strength he had, and so that boulder will soon crush you. The very fact you feel the need to prove people wrong, to show what you can do, shows your insecurities. You even put your life on the line at Shock Value against Jon McAdams, and yet...I don't see people talking about that any more. I don't even see you in the World title picture, not even as a mention. Yet here I am, as apathetic as could be, and I have already found myself amongst the names of contenders. It just shows how pointless it is to stick by this antiquated idea of 'proving yourself'. When you are constantly proving yourself, you are telling people that their doubts have affected you. You are cutting open your skin and unveiling the fragile organs within, pointing at the parts for people to take aim. You are weakening yourself.

I should know, for there was a time when I cared about being seen as 'significant'. I worried about people's ideas concerning me. Do they see me as an adequate leader, as the future? Now though, I am at peace. Possessed, you could say. By what though? A liberating lack of care, a master that guides me, a whisper that tells me how best to strike.

Do not come into this match with your faux respect that you always throw at people as if it makes you a better person. I don't want you to respect me, because I know you don't. I doubt anyone does. Mock my inability to win a world title, question my move to Voltage, try to poke holes in my changes – it is what almost everyone else on this brand has done, either publicly or in their private quarters where they think they don't have to fear me. But just know that what you will be facing at Voltage is not the Ryan Marx that lost at Kingsroad. It is not the man who went on a break. It is That which returned from the voyage. The thing that crawled out from the shipwreck and into the depths of the sea. The blackest night, the reddest sun, it is everything you think of when you look over your shoulder.

That Which Stands Behind You.

A beast in a form that fights it. That is what you are up against. I am not here to prove that this new change from the dead 'Zeitgeist' is a success, because I don't need to prove myself to anyone on this show. I have created around me a presence that exceeds anything you have done as of late. Do you know why I was able to come out on the last show and express my intentions to claim the World title? Because unlike you, Finnegan, I am always here. Never forgotten. Even when I was on a break, the World Champion himself could not keep my name out of his mouth. It doesn't matter if they were jesting, they were still keeping me alive with mentions of my name. Meanwhile, you have to state you are the New Breed Champion with every speech you make, lest we forget the belt exists.

You are a sign of the failed future: bland, forgettable, and burdened. And all whilst boasting skill that some main eventers would be jealous of. How could this happen? Maybe you're just a victim of the sub-par standards Voltage has bred nowadays. Perhaps your wasted time stroking your own ego whilst taking on the neonates of NEO has crippled you, making you unprepared for the level at which the 'stars' perform at. Or could your focus on tag team gold have syphoned away this 'drive' you supposedly have? Either way, you have lost what could have made you greater than what you like to think you are.

Endurance. Fire. Your flame is as dead as your title's relevancy, and honestly, that is the biggest casualty. Because you, Finnegan, are the cause of the future's death. When I lay you to rest this coming Sunday, your grave will be marked not with your name, but with the title of EAW's New Breed. For you had everything required to elevate that title and EAW's future back to the level I had once held it at – and you squandered it. I am truly upset, because whilst there will be blood on my hands at Voltage, it will not be the blood of the future. No, the blood of EAW's future boldly paints your hands instead. But yours will cover mine.

Ryan pauses briefly, his breath hitching as his eyes close, and his tone somehow drops to an even more solemn sound.

To have a new beginning, there must be an end. To progress, there must be a sacrifice. And my soon-to-be vice grip over Voltage will begin to tighten around your throat first. The blood to represent your sacrifice that I shall mark my walls with will have more of a lasting impact than your reign on Voltage, and for that, you shall be thankful. You will be glad when it is over. For in this match, this main event, you are one mastermind against two: against a man who knows how to endure pain, and a monster who knows how to deliver it.

There is a sudden jolt as Ryan kicks a nearby chair across the floor, and then brings a hand to his temple. He crumbles slowly, crouching as he grits his teeth. The camera pans up, to the darkness behind him. Cut to black.

Re: EAW Promoz! January 16th 2018, 1:20 am by **Andrea Valentine**

"It may have been unexpected to so many others, but I always knew that it was possible. I knew that it would become an absolute reality that after showing that I'd never give up, after showing that I wouldn't ever lose determination to make it or passion for all of this, I'd be right back here on Empire. No matter how long it took, I was gonna ensure that I was right back here in the middle of it all once I retook control of the reins and reminded myself that I did have what it would take to really get somewhere rather than just being fine with just being here. That's why ever since I returned, I've done nothing but put everything that I have into each and every one of my matches once I step into that ring. I go out there and look at who's ever standing across from me with the thought of knowing that now that I've really got a true grasp on what I'm capable of, I've got all the tools to make all the dreams I have of getting to the top a definite reality. Be it as the Specialists Champion or Women's Champion, every time I see those championship belts I'm able to look at them and see myself hoisting either of those into the air over my head because I know that one day, I'll find myself standing at the top of the mountain. I'll find myself having made this return of mine mean that much more than it already does with every passing week, and it'll have been because I had the fortitude, the desire, and undeniable skill that it took to claim either of those titles as my own. But that's not to say that I'm somehow unaware of all the competition standing in my way to get there like it'll somehow be easy because I know good and goddamn well that it'll be anything but that, though it's not like I ever asked for it to be either. This path I've taken, when I look at the rest of the locker room, I can see that it's a road less traveled by but I don't carry any shame in the fact that I fell off the horse the first time around - the way I see it, it's merely me charting my own direction towards being at the summit. Joining those held in such high regard at the apex, those who've cemented their status as truly being the best at what is they do, and standing right alongside them is something that I've spent countless nights thinking about and how coming all the way from the absolute bottom to the top would serve as the ultimate redemption. But I don't just have to think or just dream of doing that because for all my effort, for all my determination that once again got me here, I've been working tirelessly and tremendously hard and it's shown! Now, you can point to last week and there's no denying that the last edition of Empire definitely didn't go down without its share of shenanigans when I took on Stephanie, but it wasn't assistance that I asked for or needed. There was no doubt in my mind when it came to me having to hold my own against her, I knew from the start that I could if I've been able to face off against a lot of the competition I have so far and been able to do so well for myself; it's why I'm not letting all the questions surrounding that manifest into self-doubt because I know I could've pinned her shoulders to the mat without Tarah's music unexpectedly blaring through the P.A. system and serving as an unwanted distraction. My name would've been called out as the winner of the match because I made it happen, I would've defeated one of Empire's best without controversy like I know I can and there'd be no possible way to deny that because when I know that I can be just as great as I climb through the ranks, I'm making sure that everyone's taking notice - not for the admiration or applause, but so that each and every woman in that locker room knows I'm coming. And for any apprehension that might be had concerning any of that after my match with Stephanie, I'll get rid of all of it when it comes to what I can do against the finest of our roster on this upcoming Empire and I'll show that there'll be nothing to question this time around when I'm in there with Aria."

"It's this week that's gonna ultimately prove to be my most challenging bout yet and I say that with the utmost eagerness! Taking on the Women's Champion? It's a position that a year ago I would've been shocked as shit to find myself in, because that wide-eyed, just-getting-going version of me wouldn't have been expecting an opportunity like this to come my way. But that's not who I am anymore. I don't look at my match this week that surprised at all because it's moments like this that I've been fighting week after week for, these opportunities against women of Empire who've been under the spotlight and shown why they take up a consistent residence in main events or stolen shows on the regular, be it at a weekly event or a sold-out FPV. Aria Jaxon is exactly the kind of challenge I've been looking forward to, even more so now after last week, and while so many might see that it's me versus her and think that for me this has got to be such a daunting objective to undertake, I can't help but let it be known that Thursday can't come fast enough! With accomplishments under her belt that provide all the evidence needed as to why she's had such a firm grip on the Women's Championship, there's only one way I can go into this and that's without second guessing myself like everyone might expect me to, without being intimidated by stats that outshine my own - but it's not like I'd ever let any of that get the best of me. With match of the year candidates, the recognition as the women's Elitist of the Year, and five defenses that prove why you deserve to be holding onto that title, Aria, anyone with knowledge of those facts could easily look at our match this week before Jasmine so much as has the chance to even utter a sound for our ring introductions and say that I'm aiming way out of my league. They could say that taking you on is like trying to fight upstream when the current is far too strong to handle and that I'm gonna find myself drowning with the way I'm in over my head because of everything you've accomplished, but what they wouldn't know and what they wouldn't have seen coming is that I was ready for it all. But don't take that as me taking away from those achievements, I'm not looking to discredit you in any way imaginable because let's be honest, I'd be a damn fool to think that just because you haven't been in the ring with me yet that those achievements mean absolutely nothing. I'm not interested in tearing down your fan base or trying to sway their opinions of you when you've given them every reason to not only believe but know for a fact that when you step into the ring that the chances of you winning are damn good regardless of the opponent. But knowing all of that myself, it's only made me want this that much more and a win this week would mean absolutely everything to me, which I'm sure you could say you already knew because of who you are and that hunk of gold you carry on your shoulder - but this goes beyond just wanting a feather in the cap. It's more than just being able to say that I've got a win over someone who's easily gonna go down as one of the best of all-time. Proving that my future truly is oh-so-bright and doing that against the longest-reigning Women's Champion that I and so many others have such a great respect for would mean the world to me because not only does it put everyone on notice and further cement my place here on Empire, but it means what I already know to be true and that's the fact that one day I'll be in the position you are now. Regardless of what may get said by anyone else, I know I have it in me and with your shoulders on the canvas for the referee to count to three, what I'll accomplish here is conquering a feat of what's undoubtedly perceived to be insurmountable odds. There may be no championship on the line, it may not be a match that's happening under the bright, shiny lights of a free-per-view, but for me it's a match of the utmost importance nonetheless and this is an opportunity that I'm dead set on making the most of by coming out with what'll significantly be the greatest win I'll have attained in the three months I've been back. Last week was the first time I've ever been likened to you by anyone, and while I'm certainly not going out of my way to present myself as trying to prove I can be the next "you", I know that I've got all the potential to put myself right up there alongside you, and with what I'll bring to the ring I'll show that I've got what it takes to overcome those heaps of doubt, to overcome odds that only appear to be far too much in the eyes of others to take down. I know coming into this you're gonna be at your best like you always are, like I and everyone else expect you to be, and I know you won't disappoint me or anyone else when it comes to that, but ultimately, in the end, I won't disappoint either. Not because I owe it to anyone else who might be watching on but because I owe it to myself on this journey that's far from being over, because having come this far and showing that I shouldn't be underestimated or looked down on leaves me with the need to make a statement, one that causes waves and forces everyone else with no choice but to recognize the promising ability that I have - a statement that says how I'm on the rise and how at any point going forward from here whenever I happen to go again to storm the Queen's castle, that I've got all the power, all the means, all the talent, to straight up take the throne."

Re: EAW Promoz! January 15th 2018, 8:55 pm by **Nicolette Lyons**

Empire Promo #1

Who is Nicolette Lyons? What business does that sliver spoon bitch have being in EAW. That is what I have been hearing all week when it was announced that I was EAW's newest edition to the Empire roster. Well first off, let me tell you a little about myself, you all have probably stayed in my daddies hotels at one point or another, oh you know The Lyons Hotel, oh never mind what am I even talking about, it is probably way to expensive for any of you to stay at. It is a high class hotel, and just by the comments on social media in regards to me, none of you half-whited, low life imbeciles have any class whatsoever. Seriously you people make me sick, all week long I have been seeing comments saying, that I don't belong in EAW, and that I am not a professional wrestler also stating that I am nothing more than a spoiled brat who gets whatever she wants because all daddy needs to do is whip out his checkbook. (Nicolette smiles and shakes her head) Well I mean I am not going to lie, part of that is true, I do get whatever I want, whenever I want. Am I a spoiled brat because of it? Maybe, maybe I am but that is okay because just realize, that I am not like the rest of you people counting your nickles and dimes just trying to get a dollar so you can go to McDonald's and order a cheeseburger. When I want something I get it, and no my parent's money didn't get me to EAW. I have trained so hard to get a contract offer, don't be jealous that I am successful at everything I have done because it's true I have been successful from the moment I was conceived, I was born into a great family that gave me opportunities to spread my wings and start my own legacy. I was top model for Victoria's Secret for three years, saying I made bank would be an understatement because I made more than a bank ever would have in their vaults. So why would I stop modeling, why would I just walk away from the millions of dollars that I was making. It's simple really I got bored, there wasn't any excitement. I wanted real competition, I have been a fan of professional wrestling for years and it was always in the back of my mind to train for one, and so one day I did, and I fell in love with it, and here I am today, getting ready to compete in my first ever match for EAW, and to say I am excited would be an understatement. I am going to take Empire over by storm. I am going to be the most must see wrestler on this roster and it won't be because of my looks, and it won't be because of my families money. It will be because I dominated the competition.

So who will get the honor and the privilege of facing me in my first match. A match that people will look back on for years to come, people will YouTube this coming match saying wow this is Nicolette Lyons' first ever match in EAW. I will face not one, but two in my first match, the first being the legendary loser herself Haruna Sakazak, and Jael Arcana-Rosario, now I am going to be 100% honest I have no idea who Jael is, so I am not even going to pretend like I know you and say I am scared of facing you or that I am confident I am going to kick your ass because I legit got no idea, but Haruna, I know very well, I used to watch her on my TV screen and laugh at how much of a klutz she is. I would literally sit there and L-M-A-O because she was such a loser. You still are a loser and the very fact that I get to face you in my first match is a pleasure it really is, because I get to make you look like a loser again. The best part of it is, it doesn't even faze you anymore, you can make a fool out of yourself week in and week out and it doesn't even bother you. I can tell right away that Haruna is going to be jealous of someone like me I mean look at me. I am prettier than her, I am more successful than her at life, I mean Haruna you have been in EAW for what five years now? What have you even done. You lose every week, and you one like one championship that you held for a week, you suck. You really really suck, but I do in fact admire your dedication to the company. I can just picture you when you are alone trying to give your self a pep talk. You probably look at yourself in front of the mirror and say, this is going to be my night I can feel it, this is the night that turns my whole career around! Then reality sinks in and you fall flat on your face and everyone laughs at you, becaue at the end of the day that is the only thing you are good for, something to laugh at.I know I walk into Empire as a rookie, I walk in as the underdog because let's face who the fuck am I right? I am just some bitch who fell into a rich family. But that is where it is all going to change, I am going to change that perspective of me. This is the night I have been training hard for, for over a year, and I am going to make sure that I don't fall flat on my face like Haruna, i am going to give myself every chance to succeed because I am a successful person. Just you wait and see.

Empire #2

“Definition of Insanity or just the will to not quit?”

Yeah, I have missed my chances; I’ve been here for a lot longer than most of the current girls on Empire. I was on the debut episode of Empire, I was here when the concepts like Specialist Rampage, Vixens Cup were created and yeah, the number of shots at titles that I’ve received isn’t a lot when you compare to say someone like Aria’s but for me, they are. Pure Title match, Specialist Rampage, the first ever Divide & Conquer at Pain For Pride 9, Control in the Vault, EOE 2, Empire Cup, Tag Title match against High Rollerz, EOE 3, Manifest Destiny, and Road To Redemption. That’s all the chances I have failed at when you look back at my two years in EAW but those two years brought a change in me. I went from someone who was only known because I dated Nasir Escobar back when he was talked about himself in third person point of view to now being The Ace to now being the one who stands on the edge of either complete failure or complete stardom. I truly don’t know what the future of this match holds for me but I know where my present path is going. Towards the road, I want to, towards becoming the best. And yeah, I’ve fallen but at the same time, I’ve brushed off all the bit of dirt and continue to push on.

See even if I continue ladder to the top and even I fall over and over again. I will continue to get up and climb that ladder again, even its definition of insanity for some people, it’s still not going to fucking stop me from getting back up and climbing that ladder once again. I will fight on, and yeah in 9 months, you’ve done more than I have in my entire 2 years in EAW. Being a celebrity outside of the business and being a champion inside of it. See while others have come passed me and gotten their shots while I’m passing me by, I’ve stayed. All the people who people thought would win the big one have left or choked under pressure while I’ve thrived in the environment where I’m constantly looked down on by others, always having a chip on my shoulder. I’ve gone through a stable warfare between Sirens, OGs and Coven. I’ve gone through getting told by most of this roster that in the end, no matter what how hard I worked, that I didn’t have what people call the “it-factor”.

So I’m not just thinking that this match is against you but everyone that I’ve failed against, everyone that has doubted me. The only reason I don’t want to bring your personal crap with the chairman is that if I do, then I’m no better than people like Consuela who would use that to get inside your head. I don’t need to talk about something I don’t care about, I don’t need to care your personal relations with whoever you decide to be with because I’m actually a professional when it comes to talking shit about my opponents. I’m straight to the point, no need for shortcuts when I’m set to face someone plus it’s just not my style to talk about crap that doesn’t involve my match.

I’ve never been interested in talking about crap like that. I was trained to wrestle, nothing more and nothing else, I was trained to be Unbreakable. You ask what I mean by being called The Unbreakable, it’s the fact that no matter how hard people have tried to put me down, I’ve always stood back up. Every time I’ve fought and lost, I’ve stood right back up and continued to resume my path. I think you people here called it the definition of insanity, I call it being persistent. Regardless of how I’ve failed, I’ve only gotten back up only wanting to fight more and more! Fight for glory, for that first title, and whatever else you can think of. See it’s my upbringing that has brought that idea inside me. Constantly having to prove myself, constantly having to fight for my way, it comes naturally to me. So when you talk about crap like the extra mile and etc. then sorry to disappoint you, Megan but nobody else on this planet works as hard as I do. Every night, I’m willing to put myself through everything if it means to secure my win and step on one more rung on that ladder of success.

During my tenure, I’ve failed, I’ve fallen from grace. I’ve lost all of my title shots before this one but failure makes one better. You talk about my missed chances and yeah but every single lost opportunity whether it be Dia Del Diablo, Manifest Destiny, Road To Redemption or whatever other events, I’m still standing, willing to climb again. So I dare you to throw more shots my way, I’m walking through every bullet you’ve fired so far and I’m still standing.

I’m rip going to that crown that’s so comfortable on your head and take it as my own, I’m not going to lose because I simply can’t. There’s nothing to lose in this match because even I fall. I’m Azumi Goto, I’m The Unbreakable One. You can’t put me down. Regardless of whoever you think you are, Megan. So even after you use the weapons that are legal for this match, I’m going to stand up to climb the ladder and it’s going to be that EVERY SINGLE TIME!

What you call the definition of insanity, I call an unbreakable will to fight and to simply not quit.

Re: EAW Promoz! January 14th 2018, 9:44 pm by **Megan Raine**

Well…

I did exactly what I said I was going to do.

Nobody believed that the conclusion of the EAW Specialists Championship match at King of Elite would go the way it did.

…

But it did.

And now, I have everybody’s attention. Now, EVERYBODY is listening to what I have to say. EVERYBODY is watching my every move. They’re almost awestruck by me. It’s like I’ve put everyone under a spell. Oh, the power I currently possess within my being is impeccable. Not a single person thought somebody like me was going to dethrone Consuela Rose Ava, but you know what, I did it. To them, what am I? Just a model. Just an actress. Just someone who dived into something because my ex boyfriend was doing it. All of it is false. I’m not JUST a model. I’m not JUST an actress. I’m an all-rounder. I’m in the wrestling business because this is something I wanted to do for the longest time and that is the honest truth. Consuela denied it, just like the bitches who fell to my feet in the past denied it as well. I feel like I proved otherwise at King of Elite however. I overcame the odds that night. I got back up with every setback and knock down in that match and came out victorious. Consuela even tried to cheat to pick up that victory over me and STILL lost. I might get a lot of hate thrown my way, but not even I tried to play dirty to pick up that win. I did it with hard work, and that was my whole message that entire week leading up to King of Elite. Consuela was blinded by denial, but I proved her wrong. Her blinded vision was what costed her in the end… that and an Avalanche Flapjack. I proved every single doubter and hater I have ever had wrong. Yes, my message became loud and clear at King of Elite. How I’ve put blood, sweat and tears into my wrestling training to get better, faster, stronger, and more deadlier than I have ever been, and the hard work paid off did it not? I beat an Ava. I beat one of the greatest EAW Specialists Champions in this company’s history without any help or any dirty moves. So what does that say about me, then? Am I still just some bitch with no talent just hanging around the women’s locker room until I eventually fade away? If I ever become like that again, please shoot me, because I didn’t take that time off after my first run just to come back only to run away again. I came back to face my fears. I came back to prove to everybody WHY I belong here on Empire. And you know what, I think winning this championship proved just that.

But I know that it only gets more and more difficult from here on in. Winning a title is easy compared to what one must do to keep it within their grasps. I already have my first defence on the horizon and it comes in the form of a sushi lover.

Nice to meet you, Azumi Goto.

Who is Azumi Goto to me? Talented? Sure. Vicious? Probably. Championship ready? Far from it. While many said I was not championship ready, I proved that I most certainly was at King of Elite. Can Azumi prove she’s championship ready by being able to dethrone me? I guess it’s left up in the air at this point. Azumi, how long have you been in EAW now? Three, four, five years? I honestly do not know but I know you’ve been here a whole lot longer than a lot of us here on Empire have. How many chances have you gotten at becoming a champion in EAW alone? Countless times probably but surely you have been carving a tally on your bedroom wall while you have a poster of Haruna on one side, a poster of Nasir Escobar on the other, and a noose hanging from the ceiling fan. Ah, I’m sorry. Perhaps that was a little too forward of me to say. I’ve been trying my best lately to not be such a bitch but Empire is full of idiots that think they know what’s best. You all bring it out of me, truly.

Azumi, you’re right to some degree. You are climbing the ladder to reach your first championship here in EAW, but you’re going to go as far as the final rung and be just fingertips away before I tip the ladder over and you go falling to the canvas. You are my first opponent in my first defence, Azumi, and I absolutely refuse to drop my championship to somebody who has been washed up since 2016. It’s way past your time, Azumi. Perhaps a couple of years back people wanted you to become a champion here in the women’s division, but now you go out into arena after arena every week and people barely even chant your name. Hell, people barely even react when your music hits. You’ve had chance after chance, but you’ve done absolutely nothing about it. How does it feel knowing that I have done more in the span of 9 months than you have done your entire career? You’re left wondering why you’re stagnant in this division but all you do is sit there and watch new, talented competitors pass you by. You’re doing nothing in the form of attempting to change for the better, and judging by the way you’ve opened your mouth to me already, the case for you unfortunately remains the same. You’ve spoken how each rung of this metaphorical ladder represents a stage you’ve been at in your career, but the way I see it, it’s all been the same schtick for you, Azumi. The same comic routine. Shinsei Domei, Arrogance Personified, Ms. Control in the Vault, The Ace. When it all comes down to it, it doesn’t matter the nickname or gimmick, you’re just still plain, old Azumi Goto. But you know, keep that confidence up! Keep climbing that ladder regardless of how broken down you are or how far you have fallen! That’s the definition of insanity right there, by the way. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the same result? Shit, you’re seeming a lot like my ex boyfriend Keelan over on Voltage.

Tell me something - why are you over here calling yourself “The Unbreakable” when at every high moment of your career, all you’ve done is break? You even just admitted how broken down you are, so why are you contradicting yourself? People have tried and failed to break you? Are you listening to yourself? All you’ve ever done is failed in every big match to anybody that mattered in this company. You have showed all of this to girls like Revy and Aria Jaxon? Well, fantastic! Guess what? I have defeated them both. I like the fact you said that I might be a possibility to be added to this shitty list of yours, because you’re right. It is just a possibility. I’m glad you are at least smart enough to know that you coming out the victor here seems bleak. Try as you might, I feel like even if you put on the match of your career I don’t think I’d be impressed, because all you have ever done is try your hardest and all it’s ever brought you is failure.

So you’re saying that if this was just a regular old non-title match, then you would bring up the personal shit between Ryan Adams and myself? ...why? Why not bring it up now? Why not try to get into my head and talk about how me sleeping with the Chairman of this place might cost me in the end? Why not say that perhaps I might gain feelings for the man and fall hopelessly in love with him to the point where he is all I think about and eventually it would cost me my Specialists Championship? See Azumi, you just don’t make any form of sense. I feel like a real challenger would attempt to throw as much as they can at me, but you’re holding a lot of it back for whatever reason. I have brought up in the past, especially to Consuela, what the situation between Ryan and I is. Bitches love drama, and bitches crave invading personal affairs. Bitches also love to start false rumours and only see the things from a negative light. It’s what dumbass women like The Ava’s do best. I’m surprised you’re not doing it considering your on-again-off-again love/hate relationship you have with Haruna Sakazaki exists. But, I digress.

Did you just call yourself filler? I don’t see you as that. Others might sure, but I don’t. I am a champion here in EAW now and I am going to take each defence I have as seriously as I can, no matter who the challenger is. Perhaps this Specialists Championship is something you’ve been wanting and craving since you arrived here in EAW, but if you really wanted it, don’t you think you’d have it by now? I’m going to be going into this match ready for anything, Azumi, because I know you’re a talented individual. I just feel like you are unable to go that extra mile. I did, and look what happened - I became champion. I would love nothing more than to bring this belt back to its roots. This championship was supposed to be defended every two or three weeks, you know. If that’s the road I must go down to continue to prove all these dumb cunts that I belong here, then so be it. I will go down that road with my head held high knowing full well that The Storm is capable of washing away the competition here on Empire. You are the first in my way, Azumi, and you will feel its wrath. I’m sure you have walked into plenty of matches with the odds stacked against you for the longest time. Tell me something - how is this time going to be different from all the rest? What are you going to do differently to show me and to show the world that you are going to walk out not only as the victor but as the new EAW Specialists Champion on Thursday? You say you might have nothing to lose, but I feel like you’re wrong there Azumi. Every championship match you have been involved in has eaten you up inside. You’re too afraid to admit that, but I know it’s how you’re feeling. I can see right through you. Perhaps losing this next championship match will push you to the brink. Perhaps losing the championship match after it might do it. Or the one after that. Or the one after that. I know you’re at the edge Azumi, and I would love nothing more than to push you off of it. Your first ever title win in EAW is on the line? So? My first ever championship defence is on the line, and I feel that not only is it a little more important, but it means I have more to work for. When I am working for more, I become the same woman you saw shock the world at King of Elite. Like I said, I refuse to lose my first ever championship in wrestling in my first defence. I just will not allow it to happen, Azumi. I can’t allow it to happen. Not after everything I have worked my ass towards to earn what I claimed at King of Elite. Perhaps I do seem like someone who could be more successful outside of the wrestling business, and I already know for a fact that I am. But, right now, that isn’t my focus. Right now, representing Empire as its Specialists Champion is. Being able to come to the ring each and every single night and wrestle my heart out is something I’ve inspired to achieve for almost my entire life, and now I am living the dream I have had since I was a little girl. I do have fallback options in my life, Azumi. I’ve made a living in other careers and ventures outside of here, but wrestling will always be my one true love and I want it to be my main focus for as long as I can make it. I will not stop for nothing; especially not you Azumi Goto.

So, if you have definitely changed, then prove it to me. Prove it to the world. All of your championship matches that you have failed at, prove to me that this time will be YOUR time. Tell me how it will be different from all the rest, and I will gladly welcome whatever you will throw my way on Empire. But you must be aware of the fact of how much I have changed as well, Azumi. My time off did wonders for my wrestling career, and now I am attempting to be the best Specialists Champion I can be. I’ll go through the wringer, I don’t care. I’ll beat any bitch that tries to shit on my name and slaughter them like I’ve done since my return. Sydney St. Clair, Consuela Rose Ava, Revy, Daisy Thrash… Azumi Goto.

I am comfortable, but you shouldn’t get too comfortable in the position YOU are in, Azumi. You don’t see yourself here that often despite your many attempts at becoming a champion, so I hope for your sake that your head doesn’t become too big for your body.

The storm is coming…

THE STORM IS COMING.

Re: EAW Promoz! January 14th 2018, 5:10 pm by **Mallory Wilde**

Empire Promo 1: Deja Vu All Over Again

The camera opens in the medical area backstage where Mallory sits on the table, still in her ring gear, looking tense as she gazes downward. She flips her hair out of her eyes, catching sight of the camera in her periphery as she does so, and cuts her eyes at it with her chin stuck out, her jaw clenched in tight, and her lips trembling with rage. She suddenly turns, causing the camera man to jump backwards.

"Whaddaya want? Wanna hear aboot how I lost again? or how I'm facing Chelsea Crowe and April Song again? or how I've been stuck in a tag match after specifically making it clear that I'm a solo act...wait for it...drum roll please."

Mallory begins slapping the tops of her knees rapidly in a drum roll, before stopping, throwing her hands up in the air, letting them fall to her side as she slumps over sadly.

"...again. Ya know, I don't mind waitin' my turn in line for a title, and I don't mind goin' against an admittedly admirable opponent like Daisy Thrash, who proved me wrong in oh so many of the right ways on Empire this week, I don't even mind soulja girl April Song poppin' up again and spoilin' for a fight."

Mallory half-heartedly tosses her arms up and hops across the examining table in an intentionally lame attempt at the soulja boy dance, before once again waving it off and falling back into her lurch.

"What I do mind is the fact that I have to go through this crap with Chelsea Crowe again. I can telegraph the next few promos from the both of us if you'd like. I'll call her a hoser, poser, brown noser, ho bag with no soul. She'll say she means to be that way, and yet still feel offended that I think of her in that way. I'll call her a sell out, and again she'll own up to it, only to resent me for doubting her as a competitor when she has nothing to really fight for. When bell time comes, I'll go out there to rip her strawberry blonde Barbie doll head off and she'll try everything in this world to avoid me, or throw everything but the kitchen sink at me, and still feel that somehow she's walked away from our fight the winner. I'll feel otherwise as I add another notch in the toe o' my boot and gain yet another hair for my Chelsea Crowe voodoo hair dolls, and all it'll really amount to for either of us is an evening wasted where we could be shooting for bigger and better goals, and both of us worked up into a dander over nothin'."

Mallory grimaces and blows her bangs out of one eye in frustration. She sits up, leaning back as she clasps the edge of the table with her cracked and jagged black fingernails.

"Fine. I'll do it, eh. I'll do it again, and again, and again, but this time while I'm playing round the bases with 'er skull on the outside barrier, how's aboot Daisy gets the win on the inside against April, right? I know she can do it. Hell, I beat April, n' Daisy beat me, so by transitive property, she can do the same. Am I ashamed I lost to Daisy? Uh uh, because at least now I know what she's made of. I get her. I get her angst. I get her anger. I've been there in my short time in EAW. I've been handed so much and it's all amounted to a hill o' beans. I've had a glimpse of gold and in a moment of weakness someone struck and yanked it out of my sight. I dominated in my first Free-Per-View, and both'a ya ladies were there with Killer Toe-Fu ringin' in your ears like you're Doug Funnie at a frickin' Beets concert. I didn't lose to you on that night, Chelsea. I didn't lose to April either. Come to think of it, don't think I ever have. Don't plan on startin' to either. 2017 was the freshman year o' the Zero Star with nothin' but a fight on her mind and a good time in her crosshairs. Now's time to show you what a Strong Hero looks like. It's time for the Crowe's Song to fall silent because it's the Wilde Daisy's season. Now stand back ya hosers n' watch us grow."

Mallory, with a new fire in her gullet and a more determined look on her face, hops down from the table and pats her fist into her palm enthusiastically. In a short moment of self-awareness, she stops in her tracks and turns to the camera with a smirk.

"Wilde Daisy's. Oh yaaaaaah. I likes the sound o' that. Think I'm on to somethin'. S'a li'l cheesy, and a bit presumptuous, but I dig it."

Mallory puts her hands on her hips and looks up toward the rafters with a smile on her face. She cups her hands around her lips and begins to talk in a mock ring announcer's tone.

"Llllladies and gentlemen, opening up for IWrestledABearOnce, Wilde Daisy's!!!!!!"

Mallory begins shaking her head side to side, making the static like sound of fan cheers.

"aaaaaaahhh We love you guys! aaaaaahhh Play 'Stairway!' aaaaaah"

Mallory nods in approval of the reality she's made up in her head, which she considers replacing with her own rejected one momentarily, before cupping her mouth once more.

"Ladies and jerks! Your 2018 Tag Team Grand Prix Winners And NEW EAW Unified Tag Team Champions again The Wilde Dais-pffahahahahaha"

Mallory buckles in the middle and keels over laughing. She waves the idea out of the air as she gasps for breath and heads through the medical curtain. As her laughter tracks off, the camera starts to fade to black, until Mallory's head pokes through the curtains once more, looking seriously contemplative of the joke idea. After a moment of dead air, she contorts her face and sticks her tongue out.

"Pffft. Nahhhhh!"

Mallory pulls back through the curtain and lets her silhouette fade as she walks off from the medical station. She shouts jovially from afar, presumably over her shoulder as her footfalls grow quieter by the second

"It'll be fun though, eh? Might even enjoy ourselves out there instead of just dealin' out bitter pills to those who wronged us. Who knows? Maybe if it goes well, down the road a bit, we can try this out..."

The camera fades to black.

"again"

Empire #1

“Another shot”

(We get a shot of Azumi in her hotel room, packing her things up for the next trip to Amsterdam. She has a noticeable couple of bandages on her face as she begins to speak.)

Not only am I climbing the ladder to reach my first championship in EAW but climbing that one big road towards the top. So this whole Ladder match really seems like the real life of my time in this company. Each rung on the leader being a stage whether it be Shinsei Domei, Arrogance Personified, Ms. Control In The Vault, or even just as The Ace. Through everything I’ve had to deal with, all the setbacks, all the stop-and-start runs, all the failures, through every single one of them I’m right here. I'm still climbing the ladder regardless of how broken down or however far I've fallen. I was in this kind of situation back around Manifest Destiny; I had the Women’s Title right in my grasp until it was ripped away by Aria Jaxon, then once again at Road To Redemption, it was taken by the same woman. And then kind of like a ladder match situation, I fell, I crashed down with nothing going for me, fortunately, you can’t break the Unbreakable. People and fate have tried but all have failed, I’m still standing here regardless of how the damn situation has been. I’ve fought through everything and yet I’ve stood up. I showed that to people like Revy to Aria to anyone else who needed to know and I guess you can say that one more name will possibly be added that being the new Specialist Champion, Megan Raine.

If I was anyone else, I probably would have made jokes about your relation with DEDEDE or anything else for that matters but this really isn’t the time for that. Maybe in a normal non-title situation, sure but this a big-time title match for Empire. Everything on the line with a title quite literally hanging in the balance, I’m sure that you must be quite busy with having your lovely relation with DEDEDE, maybe with your countless other projects or maybe just hoping to dear god that Consuela doesn’t kill you or whatever. Predictions are coming in from people and they see losing, I can see why they think that but the greats are formed from being overlooked by others and told that they can’t get the big one or crap like that.

(Azumi begins to zip up the luggage as she decides to look out from the hotel room balcony one last time.)

And yeah, in people’s mind I’m just really a filler defense until Consuela gets her rightful title shot whenever that is set to happen. Just someone that when you look at the odds of winning or losing, the scale more points towards losing the match but who knows… maybe the odds are in reverse. Maybe the facts that unlike Consuela, I might be actually take you seriously right now. Not because of the fact that I consider you competent as a wrestler but because you hold something I really want, that of course being the Specialist Title around your waist. Something I’ve been chasing since I’ve got here and it’s finally come down to this moment.

There’s something about walking into a match with the odds being against you and yet you still want to fight and prevail over everything and everyone. This is going to be one of those nights, where everyone has their eyes set on you retaining. But Megan, you just won’t be able to win because like I told Revy last week, that I have nothing to lose but everything to gain. My first ever title win in EAW is on the line and I’m sure as hell won’t give up for this match. Because I somehow if I do lose, then I’m right where I was before all of this. At the bottom, back competing against the same people I beat to get to this spot. Even with whatever odds and whatever the situation, I’m still claiming the title as my own. Megan, credit goes to you for being not bitching about the whole two week defense rule. I actually thought you probably would have had something against the concept of that rule coming back but no, considering you took your chances and made use of your opportunities.

Beating Sydney first at Bloodletter for your number 1 contendership then followed up by beating Consuela at King Of Elite. So unlike the dumbasses we have around Empire, we all know that this you and your snuggle-whatever-he-is have a relationship and what not but I personally don’t need to care about that. I just need to worry about you and this EAW Specialist Title match. I’m busting through the golden castle’s front gate, I’m claiming what’s mine and becoming EAW Specialist Champion. No more Revy, no more Sheridan, no more Savannah! Only the site of someone I have to beat and someone who’s stopping me from becoming a champion. I’ve fought my way through Empire, I went through the worst kinds of crap before I got this match. A blonde who has already been named deciding to try and get some heat by making me and Haruna seem like we were some resurrection of an evil group, a drunken idiot and her apparent best friend costed me a shot at getting a title match for Bloodletter. Meanwhile your case, you got dumped by Keelan, got absolutely murdered by Madison, and then left, only to come back. It seems like you left and did a lot during your time. I mean you seem like someone who could be more successful outside of wrestling then inside.

With time, comes evolution and change. And as time has progressed, I’ve definitely changed. I’m not willing to pander to fans like some people but in return, I’m not willing now become an arrogant bitch. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a self-centered woman. Even if I was forced to, I can’t care for anyone else while in the ring but I’m also more focused than anything else. It’s been since Road to Redemption that I’ve had the shot at becoming a champion and I guess now is a better time than any. Now might be the shot I have of claiming the throne that’s been kept away from me for two years.

So get comfortable with your title, because come this Thursday I’m ripping it away right from your grasp and right in front of you, Megan.

event: thursday night empire - 1/18
match: jael arcana-rosario vs. nicolette lyons vs. zakkii
promo number: one
word count: 1,091 words

scene one:
jan. 14, 2018 // divine mercy parish // tempe, az // broadcasted

⇁ ☩ ↽

A pair of frayed, gilded doors open to reveal a centuries old church. The wooden pews are chipped and worn, bibles and hymn booklets scattered and peeking out from a select few seats. Stood before the altar is Jael Arcana-Rosario, Empire’s not-so new signee. It’s never too late to grab the audience’s attention, she thought. She brushed a few strands of burgundy hair from her face, eyes finding the camera far in front of her.

JAEL ARCANA-ROSARIO: “To say I can finally stand in the ring with some of the best competition Empire has to offer would be...a bit of a white lie. I know it’s foolish of me to even think, but when I signed my name on the dotted line, I expected a little more of a fight. Color me disappointed. But in all honesty? I’m thrilled to share the ring with two lost sheep—sorry, Haruna Sakazaki and Nicolette Lyons. All it does is make my job easier. And to everyone who’ll be tuning in: it’d you good to see how method, control, and precision can carry someone like me further.”

“I won’t be the only one making her debut on Empire this week. Nicolette Lyons is a new girl around here, too. Sure, we’ve got a lot of those arrogant and brash competitors lying around this roster, so I doubt she’s bringing anything new to the table. Not to dismiss you too soon, though, I could have you rendered out all wrong, Nicolette. This place is oversaturated with your typical entitled, better-than-you brats. What makes you any different? You’re new, so you’ve got the element of surprise to your advantage, I’ll give you that.”

“There’s still a lot you’ve yet to prove, Nicolette. My research shows that you’re the self-proclaimed ‘best’ at everything in life. But even with all that arrogance, you couldn’t even say a word, give a proper address to the world in before your official Empire debut. Why just a day before King of Elite, I took advantage of a couple of resources. I made my voice be heard, and I declared a war under my name. I wouldn’t call it arrogance on my behalf, but Nicolette, your silence is putting you a step behind me. Guess the ‘Lyoness’ isn’t as bold as we thought.”

A faint sigh escapes Jael before continuing.

JAEL ARCANA-ROSARIO: “I’ve heard talks of how you can be condescending towards anyone in your way. Whether or not it’s all a front to help reassure you you’re at the top of things...I don’t know. Call it sadistic of me, but I encourage that kind of behavior. I made it very clear when I addressed the world for the first time since signing to Elite Answers Wrestling: that even when I’m being preyed upon, I’ll find my way to the top. When you look down on me, all it does is prove that you have me in your sights. So much for ignorance.”

“And at Empire, there’ll be nowhere for you to hide. Gone are the days where you can sit comfortably and act like you’re the best, because I’ll be the one to bring you back to reality.”

A brief pause. Jael paces down the aisle, her gaze wandering towards the stained glass images of saints that enclose her.

JAEL ARCANA-ROSARIO: “Now it appears as though Nicolette and I won’t be the only ones to cut our teeth this Thursday. Haruna Sakazaki has claimed to be reborn, and thus, pressing the hard-reset button on her career. Or at least that’s what she wants everyone to believe of her. This whole “new year, new me” thing is impressive Haruna, really. But I won’t allow myself to be fooled this easily. No matter how much you believe yourself, or hold on to your support system, nothing can change the fact that you’ve failed. Not just once, not twice, but on multiple occasions. And you’ve let that get to your head, it’s why you’re so unsure of where to go from here.”

“How awful must it feel, Haruna, to know that a newcomer like me has a better sense of direction than you? It’s always about honesty with you, that much I can respect. But who am I kidding, even too much honesty is bound to screw someone over in this business. Oh, wait. I suppose that’s how you’ve landed here, sharing a ring with two girls who are otherwise completely foreign to you. I mean look at you, Haruna: you’ve gone through this radical change, but for what? Because you couldn’t stand to see what you’ve become as of late? Living off the shadow of Sheridan Müller proved to be too much for you, just imagine how you’d crumble at the pressure of standing over someone else, over two ‘rookies’ like myself and Nicolette Lyons. What? I suppose Sheridan took your backbone with you when she left EAW for good. It’s why I can’t believe you of all people will try to get into my head, let alone have people believe you have any sort of credibility heading into Empire.”

“I know I wouldn’t be the first to walk over you, Haruna, just as I know a win over you means little to nothing around these parts. But for my own sake, I’ll be sure to put you down for the count in style. All it takes is for me to make a move, an impression, and I’ll have everyone’s attention at my own disposale.”

“Impress you? That’s all you want out of me as a competitor, Haruna? Ask and you shall receive. And trust me, you won’t be disappointed—you’ll be left behind in another shadow, one with greater influence. Mine.”

Jael holds back a laugh. She simply gives off a shrug, and smiles.

JAEL ARCANA-ROSARIO: “Don’t worry Zakkii, if it makes you feel better, you’re bound to have your way one day. I won’t be the one to fall just to give you that satisfaction, though. And we all know a misguided ghost wouldn’t last in the face of war.”

“You know, why stop at an impression? Why settle for something so easily attainable at all? This is Empire, and depending on how you look at it, it can be your paradise or your war zone. I’ll gladly go through war to get to Paradise. And the two of you are stuck in no man’s land.”

Jael turns around and kneels towards the altar. She murmurs an inaudible prayer before crossing herself. The camera zooms out, eventually exiting from the same doors we entered. Fade to black.

RECIƤƎ FØR ÐI₷AṨTEЯ

event: thursday night empire | 1/18/2018 edition
promo number: 1
participants: chelsea crowe and april song versus daisy thrash and mallory wilde
word count: 1,549 words

scene one:
january 14, 2018 // televised

The yells of a raving lunatic is what can best describe the sounds we hear as we fade into Chelsea Crowe's Amsterdam hotel room, finding the woman of the hour reclining on a chaise longue, gaze lingering on the city beyond her window. Beside her lies her laptop, the source of the ranting, which can be deciphered as being from Daisy Thrash's last video. Her obnoxious voice fills the otherwise silent hotel room, her ravings concerning her partner for this week penetrating the air.

DAISY THRASH: “You aren’t pulling me down to your level. Unlike you, I am a not a loser. I am not some ZERO. Whether it’s you or the annoying-ass depression voice in my head that’s saying it, it’s not fucking true. ”

Chelsea pauses the video, a smirk on her lips as she sits up, eyes finding the camera.

CHELSEA CROWE: “I could talk all day about Mallory Wilde and Daisy Thrash. I could list every shortcoming they have, gloat about my victories over them, and drag them through the mud. But Daisy already did most of that for me in her last little video to Mal. You can point to the time I faced April at Bloodletter, you can bring up the things I said to her, but I at least gave her some credit where it was due. And after that match, and now as we join forces, I can see where she excels over me, I can recognise how much of a fighter she is. She could even be my equal, if she gets her head out of this rut she's found herself in – which she will after last week's wake-up call. But you, Daisy...you openly admitted that you don't want to be associated with Mal. I don't blame you, but to drag her down that much, to say you don't even want to be on her level? It's bitten you in the arse, hun. Now you have no choice but to be on her level.

The level of a loser.

Because that's what your partner is to you, right? You beat her at Empire, you called her a 'zero', and hell, even I've beaten her one-on-one. You're going into this tag match with the weakest link out of the four of us, someone almost all of us has beaten. And when you add me into the equation, someone that no one in this match has beaten, you have a recipe for disaster. A molotov cocktail that's going to explode in your hand before you can even throw it. Some would call it self-sabotage, but that would be giving you too much credit.”

Chelsea subdues a laugh.

CHELSEA CROWE: “I bet that irritates you, doesn't it? Not getting the credit you think you deserve? After all, your whole thing right now is that Empire isn't giving you enough credit. That management apparently has some big conspiracy against you, that's stopping you from getting the title shots you 'deserve'. Ever thought that maybe you're just not good enough? I mean, you got shots. You had a shot for the Specialist title ready to be taken in that battle royal – and you lost. To me. You've been given chances to impress: having a match at Bloodletter, fighting World Championship contenders...and if you haven't gotten a title match yet, then that's a 'you' problem, not something that you can blame management for. Clearly you haven't given them a reason to watch you. And no amount of screeching about some made-up conspiracy is going to bring you any closer to a title. Besides, the people who cry about management conspiring against them? They don't last long.

You know, it's funny. For someone who talks about being this dangerous punk bitch, you don't do much other than stand around and cry. I mean, I don't see the EAW headquarters burning. I don't see you leading rallies calling out for new management, I don't see you being held back by security as you try to hijack the show. All I see is you sitting around and blaming everyone else for your shortcomings, and then you going out there every Thursday and doing your job like a good little girl. You don't have the balls to go out there and make people notice you. You don't have the strength to make a statement. Not like me. When I joined EAW, the first thing I did was make a statement by interfering in a number one contender match at Manifest Destiny. Every week since then, I've proven why people should be watching me. And as much as they want to boo me and no matter how much frustration they feel when I beat their faves, they still can't keep their eyes off of me.

I'm everything you hate. So when I beat you and the zero you're teaming with, that 'depression voice' is going to get ten times louder, hun. It's going to be screaming. And you'll have me to thank for it.”

A brief pause as Chelsea glances out at the city of Amsterdam before continuing.

CHELSEA CROWE: “Speaking of hate, let's talk about Mal – the girl for whom I must be the bane of her existence. After all, I represent everything she dislikes, and I beat her in the last Empire of 2017. I've already said that she's the weakest link between us, and really, there's no arguing against that. She's lost to her own partner and got discredited by her just last week, after all. Not only that, but she was the one who took the pin in the Specialists title match that me and April were involved in. It's safe to say her momentum is almost dead at this point, especially after being made Daisy's bitch last week.

I know what you'll say, though: “look at the last show! April lost her match, your plans didn't work out!”. To that, I'm going to remind you of a few things. Success takes time – you don't gain it overnight. April's loss was an indicator of that. It'll be a great example to look at so we know how not to lose this week. Also, a few issues needed to be sorted out. Every new thing has a few kinks that have to be fixed, and I know that if April values the opportunities for success that I've given her, she'll fix them in time for this match. After all...I'm not afraid to cut off bad investments. That should be incentive enough for April to come into this match with a renewed will to succeed.

There's also the fact that we've teamed before and won. On her own, April has lost more than she'd probably like to. But together, in tag matches, she'll do much better. Because she has me, the strongest link in this match by far. And one last thing I'd like to remind you of, just in case you do try to pull that “April lost last week” BS, is that I won last week. I'm keeping up my momentum, and in my match last week, I did everything I needed to in order to win. Some would say I went a little out of my comfort zone by spitting Sydney's fire right back at her. She thought she could come into our match with the entire home crowd behind her – and yet she still lost. Because what I do, is I kill people like her: the dreamers.

You should be familiar with that term, considering both of you have been one at some point or another. Daisy's dreams were crushed and now she's turned into this constantly-complaining mess who's too cowardly to actually do what's necessary to win, and Mal came into EAW with the dream of doing what she loves on a big stage – only for those desires to be ruined by people like yours truly. People who know the reality of this business. Mal still comes out with this spirit, as if she's going to at some point redeem herself, but it hasn't worked yet. And it'll never work as long as people like me and April are here to remind everyone that this business is cut-throat. You don't succeed by coming into a match with a happy-go-lucky, dreamer attitude. Just ask Sydney St. Clair after I made her tap out last week.

I've said a lot about Mal: how she refuses to see past her own stubbornness, how she doesn't understand success, how she continues to let personal grudges and feelings get in the way of winning. But the biggest issue of them all is that she's still got her head in the clouds. She's still dreaming, still flying with broken wings because she thinks hope and fighting spirit are all she needs to soar. Daisy, I remember back before the battle royal when you warned me not to fly too close to the sun. But hun, the real Icarus is your partner. And those wings have already melted.

All that's left now is for you two to drown in the sea of Empire. You'll be right at home amongst all the wrecks at the bottom, better known as Empire's forgotten women. And me and April? We'll continue to sail right over you.”

Chelsea goes back to lounging around as the scene fades to black.

Re: EAW Promoz! January 14th 2018, 12:04 pm by **『zakkii』**

Note: I was copying the template of this promo but instead of pressing "Quote", I pressed "Edit". So this is the same recent promo that I just posted earlier. I am an idiot lol.

I am so glad that my opponents have some thought about this match, say it to the world about how they feel about going for their first match in EAW and they are talking about me especially. For that, I give you two an appreciation because you two showed me that you are willing to fight with all you've got to win this match and I truly respect that. That is one point of my interest of this match to see how you really have a will to win. Just one point, though. Not sure about the others that makes me really thinking of you two as a worthy opponent for me. But we're getting there. We're off to a good start!

"New year, new me" as people would say in my situation, but this is more like "New year, old returning me". I am now somebody that I used to enjoy being. Can't you see all the smile, the joy of my tone when I talk. This is me... the REAL me that I abandoned long time ago for a hazy utopia of a greatness caused by human nature who always wants more and never got satisfied with everything they want. I was wrong..... I was all wrong the entire time. I let my fear of not being recognized controlled me and it drives me into a darker, miserable path. But well, it happened. I have nothing or no one to be blamed. Now it's my job to change myself by learning all the mistake I made. And this is the way I should take. I have no regret to start over it.

And by the way, concerning about what Miss Rosario said about me being a failure. Don't worry.... I am not getting offended by that. I already get used to all my opponent calling me a failure. I still can smile because I never feel like I am a failure at all. I am here and still here until now while a lot of girls who claimed have a bigger heart, bigger guts, and bigger might than me.... are no longer here. The one who called me a failure, the one who point her finger at me and saying I am not tough enough. They are no longer here, sweetie. They are vanished, forgotten, gone and nobody will ever know who they are anymore. Oh, do you think gold will measure your success, huh? That's pretty much a nonsense to me. No matter how many titles you have or those accolades you have. If you stop fighting, you failed. Am I stop fighting? NO, I am here, ready to break you and I am going to keep doing this and maybe... just maybe, when I am still fighting and getting victory, you won't be here anymore. You will get bored and eventually stop fighting, in that point, we shall see who the failure really be.

No, I am not living under anyone's shadow. I don't need anyone's cover to keep walking forward. I have my own legs and I use it efficiently to keep on advancing. Not Sheridan, not Azumi, not anybody in this world! I have my own will and all of those makes me survive until the point of where I stand. Even when I apparently made a stupid decision, when it comes to fight in this ring, I am still doing my very best, showing the world what I've got and in the end, People still look at me as one credible fighter and still giving me an applause of appreciation. That is what makes me keep fighting despite all of those defeats. All those cheers, all those appreciations that comes right in front of my eyes conclude something that I am not weak, I am still able to make them proud. I know what I am doing, and I never think that you of all people are the one who actually can stop me. You showed me the first impression of yourself. You want to show me more? Good, I love someone who are serious with her own match and I love beating people like that. The bigger you think you have that influence, the greater feeling that I get when I defeat you. We have a lot of things to prove and only one can make a bigger influence. I am not planning to pass this opportunity to show people what I really capable of to any of you. I am getting my momentum, I will have yours if that is a necessary thing to do.

Again, the obstacle in this road is not a one big roadblock, but two roadblocks. I have another one that I have to beat to grab this victory. Miss Lyons, the spoiled brat who came here for whatever reason that I honestly don't care about. When people just look at her just by the looks and body figures and quickly judge that you can't wrestle and doesn't belong in this big league. Yeah, don't listen to them. Who the hell they are telling you that you don't deserve to compete here. They are not a judge..... but I do. I will be the judge for all of them and I decide your capability when you go inside that ring to face me. I want to prove them wrong that you can actually wrestle. I want to feel how hard your strike is... well, if you ever land one on me anyway. Let alone if you ever win this match which is... eeh, slightly unlikely. Am I underestimate you anyway? You decide this point. But one thing that you should know about me, this is a big league indeed, and when you see someone got defeated, especially me, ooh it's not easy to win against me, sunshine. I left a scar that will mark them and contemplating that I am a strong, formidable opponent. I can't be defeated easily. And it's not a problem of me underestimating you, it's in reverse.... Are you underestimating me? Do you think beating me is as easy to get some money from your daddy? You're wrong, my dear. And it's my job to knock your head and makes you evaluate your decision about underestimating me ever again.

Hey, I feel you.... I know what it's like to be a model, singer and wrestler at the same time. I've been in this thing, dealing with everything all at once way before you still wonder how your future will be. I am not doing this just because I am bored and have nothing to do in my life. I am doing this for one reason. Responsibility. I am a woman with strong will that can do impossible things most people are unable to do. And I am here to show them that they can too. I am small, I am not physically tough but I have a heart that strong as a steel and I am showing the entire world that I can survive this harsh world. I am being yourself, nobody can ever change who I am right now. I am not going anywhere if I am not listening to someone back there who paid me to do this, right? You only see with your naked eyes that I am a loser just because I lost too many. I met a lot of people like you and end up gone with the win. You might be no different with the rest of those girls and to be honest, I am seeing you the same like those girls. I've met people like you, I've beaten a lot of people like you and I can't see the reason why are you able to defeat me in the first place. I am pretty sure that you are going to give your all in this match to beat a "loser" like me. You are not going to stand in that ring with me half-heartedly and think you can win against this loser without your full force, huh? Just do whatever you want. You want to change everything the world said about you, right? Well, I have that objective to and my will is bigger than yours. With all that attitude, you mean nothing and that won't prove them anything. I am going to make you feel embarrassed with the fact that the woman you called a loser ironically humiliate you and not even a pile of your dad's money can recover this humiliation.

In the end, even I faced two rookies that have their own reason to prove herself, I am not planning to lose against them. Call me selfish or anything, but I don't care about what they say about me and what they're gonna do to me. Hey, none of these people want to put them and their whatever reason over, right? I do the same too. I have my own reason to fight, I am going to do it. Nobody will ever stop me, not even these two. They are two great wrestlers, kind of. But if they have bigger hearts, they will surely figure out what to do when in the end in this match, I will come victorious. They might start to plan what to do.... or creating some excuses like some opponents before you. …. calling this future defeat as a fluke, maybe? It's a classic excuse but it works. Eeh, anyway, I see you two this Thursday, make sure you two bring all you got to face this little "loser" and "failure"! I like to see an ironic thing happen.

Voltage Part 4:

"Ready"

“I’d be lying if I said I abandoned the whole notion of corruption in the system when I came up here. This system is fucked, I will continue to say it is. And you know what I hate besides the corporate corruption? Nepotism. There’s a whole culture of it in EAW, Don’t lie to me you walking Union Jack, the whole culture of the pro wrestling scene and this company is full of it”.

“Why did NEO, the direct pipeline for new blood, the gateway to the land of opportunity, become so fucking stagnated? Because the company let it. EAW barely seeks to breed new talent, as it doses to crush the new blood that tries to rise. It hires weak, pathetic fucks, and lets good competitors sit in the mud. And oh I’m sorry Finnegan, that I have fucking Grievances. You know sadly I wasn’t handpicked like Chris Elite, or seen as a walking british national pride symbol like you. Sadly I had to go through the pipeline, I got rolled over, thrown into obstacles, and FUCKED by just about every piece of shit associated with that failed developmental project”.

“You can say ‘Act like it’, you can say ‘Leave your past Grievances’, and act like some Holier - Than - Thou motherfucker, walking around like he’s the cock of the walk, proclaiming how you’re gonna ascend to the Heavyweight Throne currently held by that Australian Jagoff O’hara. I respect you Wakefield, for the good ethic you’ve shown in defending that belt for what’s gonna be half a year or so, but what I HATE, is the sense of having an Entitled Fucking Destiny that many here seem to have shoved 12 feet up their asses into their brain cavities”.

“FINE, you want me to lay out my cards and tell you EXACTLY what’s my ambition? I’m going to BEAT YOU, I’m going to MAUL YOU, I’m going to BREAK THE LEGS of the high horse you, and SO MANY OTHERS HERE seem to have. I’m not just gonna beat you tomorrow, I’m gonna KEEP hounding you, right up until I rip that belt from your mitts, and the I’m gonna claim the title of Champion of the New Breed. And It’s not for the Greed of cashing in on royalties and sponsors, It’s not for the flair of calling myself ‘New Breed Champ of Life’, and it’s certainly not to prance around with some shit oceanic accent, and sticking the Twelve Foot Ego Pole I have shoved up my ass into the dreams of any else hoping to claim the title of being Voltage’s top champ”.

“I’m going to become New Breed Champ, to show all of those who’re doubting the new blood on top of their fucking thrones of Self Righteousness that this sport is still as unpredictable and fair as it’s founders intended. I’m going to show the men who created and orchestrated the Black Hole of Greed, Sin, Amoral Bullshit in NEO that their Vampyric like leeching of competitors has come back to bite them in the ass, and I’m gonna show you, and EVERYONE ELSE, that no matter how many fuckin’ times, I had to go back and sit in that depressive, hopeless HIVE of a gorilla position backstage in New Jersey, that no matter how many times I got Beaten, Rejected, Insulted, Disregarded, or FORGOTTEN, I STILL came back EVERY TIME, because I KNEW, as impossible as it was made to seem, I’d be here, and I would someday get the chance to reach for that title, and claim it as my own”.

“Wakefield you say I’m Bitter, Spiteful, Angry, Cruel. You might say I’m Not the shiney, perfect heir to take that belt from you. And you could definitely say that I’m certainly not the most flawless person to walk out of NEO’s ashes. But I’ve always valued the ability for new people to make their own, I’ve always loved this industry for the sport and the values, and I’ve always come back to this company, day in, day out, because I believe in the process of merit. I’m not a good person by any stretch, But I AM the person who’s been bloodied, mistreated, mishandled, and beaten enough, to claim that title for the symbol it stands for”.

“A Championship for the new generation, A Championship for the convicted, the motivated, and those who’re spirited enough. A Championship for the New Breed of EAW Elitists. I don’t care what you think of my flawed character finnegan, However I Do want to make my Ethic and Values absolutely clear”.

“Day One I walked into EAW. Month 5 I’m still here, after everything. I’m ready to fight for that title, now are you ready to get into the opposite side of the ring”.

VOLTAGE I: WELCOME TO #20N8TN

The New Year began with me lighting a match in the middle of the ring.

Voltage decided to raise the bar, but I remain unfazed. The new faces all savor at the thought of taking the king’s crown, but they will ultimately fail. Alas, I have seen new talents come and go, but this year is different. New blood has been injected into this vessel and now they come and challenge me to my spot on this roster. After a huge win against Kevin Devastation last year, I figure that I have bigger fish to fry. They can take me on and I’ll give them a fight….for a few seconds until I take them out for good. Over the years, I’ve learned to not take these individuals seriously until they’ve proven that they can hold up in the ring and actually pin me. There have been few exceptions that have impressed me and some of them are now fighting for the valued EAW title. With that said, I will say that you’ve caught my attention. At first glance, you don’t seem like those cocky and arrogant rookies, but I can see through that mask, son. You are interested in setting your mark tomorrow night and I can respect that. I want to see what you’ve got and it won’t be much, but let’s see if you’re worth your weekly pay. At the end of the day, you’ll just be another opponent in my grand plan.

I dropped the match and the flames slowly consumed the ring.

You’ve got that right. I’m someone different; I have motives beyond anything you can imagine. They call me The Chicago Noise because I’m always around to tell the world their realities. I’ve seen corruption since I got here two years ago. At first, I chose to ignore this company’s antics because I thought this was a normal occurrence. Eventually, I began to be involved in ridiculous politics and I would be screwed time after time. Luckily, I decided to fight this improper treatment with my own justice and I’ve left a mark on EAW corporate’s armor since then. EAW suits tried to take me out with KD, but I took him out just like I proposed. I proved myself to be a threat and now, I’m waiting for my next move against them. You’re a man who wants to capitalize on my achievement, which is fair enough. However, I need to teach you a lesson. You may not know this since you’re not fully processed with your brand change, but I’m one of the Voltage mainstays. I’m familiar with this place because it has become my one and only home. You’re a new guest in the home and I’m welcoming you to sit down and get used to this new environment. I will treat you like complete trash because we present opportunities to the deserving as long as I’m watching. If you don’t make the cut, I’ll just end you. No excuses, no bs. Deal with that.

Don’t try to play with me because you will be engulfed by these uncontrollable flames.

You seem to know the importance of the past. If the ones in power knew how to use the power of the past, they would not need to be reprimanded my yours truly. You should know how it feels to be sidelined as others receive everything that you deserved. I feel hate for these men because they tried to make me a mockery in the eyes of millions. They took away my first love and stabbed me in the back, leaving me helpless. I forced my own body to heal and allow me to get into this squared circle. My motivation makes miracles. My motivation let you point the gun at me and shoot. You got me, but you didn’t shoot me in the head. You shot my leg, so it’s my turn with this gun. I’ll make sure I hit you in the head with no mercy. I’ve been waiting for you all week, but you didn’t show that initiative. Am I disappointed? Slightly, but I’m still hungry to kill. You see, I’ve been waiting for you to let your thoughts out so I can analyze how you feel; how you see the world around you. I’ve learned that you are wrong. We may seem alike, but I’ve found the path to my redemption while you’re still circling around a maze. You’ll be easy prey and I’ll move on. You don’t move around a lot, which was your first mistake. You don’t depend on me to move; you’ve gotta look at yourself first, man. Like you’ve said, this match is meaningless and I’ll be glad to pick up a win against the newest member of the Voltage home. Your life will remain meaningless while I climb my way towards my dream of becoming world champion. Along the way, I will destroy anything that stands in my way, but you’re nothing but a small cone. I’ll just kick you and throw you away. You may like me, but I don’t like you. I’m a man who’s honest, so I hope that didn’t bother you too much.

The flames will pass you and begin to consume buildings and finally House Voltage. The rest will be damned.

I’m above you. The world knows that I’ll step on you like a bug. Your reality is that you’re a pessimist and think the worst instead of trying to be bigger than you are now. You don’t have the same motivation as I do and I’ll prove that to you tomorrow night. Wait for it. You’re right about taking the loss, but I’ll show you something else. I’ll give you the spectacle you’re desiring and then I’ll be the star of the show; you’ll just be my lackey. Do you want that big fight? You got it.

I will stand on the ashes of House Voltage and laugh. Prepare for retribution.

Chapter 94: Axe to Grind

"The Wrestling Artist" Finnegan Wakefield

Click to view analytics:

"Safe to say I feel a little disappointed with how things have played out. I have recognized a pattern that, intentional or not, has painted me the image of what kind of opponent I face tomorrow night. And it's not a pretty picture. It is very telling how much of an axe you have to grind with your fellow NEO Alumni. It is quite telling how you have chosen to use this time to air your grievances with them and the NEO system instead of stating your claims at a victory against the opposition that stands in front of you. It's kind of insulting to be your opponent when you're in this mindset. How little I hold in priority to your woes of yesterday. Instead of hearing your intentions of besting me in that ring tomorrow night and becoming a validated challenger for my New Breed Championship somewhere down the line, my ears are being filled with such things as envy, pettiness and your vindictive nature. And it is disappointing to hear. Why am I hearing your displeasures about Daryl Kinkade? Why am I hearing your bitterness towards Maddox Ayres? Why am I even hearing names such as Charlie Marr, Sinister Ace and Alex Reynolds in the first place? Why do they matter when it comes to The Revenant versus Finnegan Wakefield? That is a rhetorical question. Those names are meaningless - they don't even matter remotely when you stand across the ring from me. It is not the likes of them you stand across the ring from tomorrow night, Michael, you stand across the ring with the likes of the EAW New Breed Champion. Act like it. You are using blanks as ammunition against me. So stop wasting your breath. Leave your woes with your past in NEO at the door. Because if even for a brief second these names cross your mind in our match, MMA background be damned, you will be coming to with no knowledge of just how quickly and effectively I capitalized when I caught you tripping. All because I caught you daydreaming when your focus should be on the task at hand. And you'll only have yourself to blame. Word of advice; if you're going to throw names at your opponent, they should hold some significance. For example; Jon McAdams, Harvey Yorke, my ladito El Ironico, Moongoose McQueen and even a promising NEO alumni in Brayden Wolfe. This is a list of the names of people who have fought me for this championship belt. All of them have failed to take it from me. But it is a list of names you should work towards joining, to try your hand at the title I hold. But like that list of names, you will fail. Because I always fight that little bit harder than the men who stand across from me, I always have that little bit more push. Against you in a non-title match is no different than facing any of the aforementioned with my championship on the line. That is what made me a champion in the first place. I don't take days off, every match is treated like the integrity of this championship is at stake. Because while I am the holder of it, it's integrity is always at stake. Every victory makes the championship shine just that little bit brighter, making it look just that little bit more appealing to catch the eye of a wondering challenger. And one by one they will line up, and one by one they will fall. 7 months is the record I intend to break, and I am not going to break it sitting on my hands. I am going to face no less than the best the New Breed has to offer, and I am going to beat them all to make that goal a reality. To replace our current World Heavyweight Champion as thee name synonymous with the New Breed Championship. That is a goal. That is ambition, that is drive. These are the things you are lacking coming into this match. These are the reasons you will fall tomorrow night, Revenant. Because in the simplest of terms, I possess these things. From what you have displayed this week, you do not have such things. Just spite. It is a weak motive, and seemingly the only one that you have. The Anti NEO schtick will only get you so far. Not far enough to be a challenger with promise for this championship. Whether you are the next NEO fledgeling to pack their bags and head home or not is none of my concern, and how spotty your record thus far has been even less. All these assumptions of what does and what doesn’t hold weight in a fight against me are futile efforts on your behalf. The impacts you make in pursuit of this New Breed Championship however is. But make no mistake about it, Revenant, you will not be making an impact at my expense tomorrow night. This is not a tale of a British Bulldog being mauled by a lion, but one of a champion keeping his potential future challengers in check."

♫ Fiora... Fiora. ♫

I like it.

Pretty. Exciting. Fresh. Colorful

--

It's been a long, twisted and complicated road but finally I get to lace these boots up again. Mere hours away from competing for the first time in nearly eight months. A lot has gone through my head, thoughts... and a week just ain't enough time to process them all. Maybe it's best if they're left unprocessed, to let the past die and focus on the new. But the thing about the past is that it's always familiar, the only reason people dwell on it is because it's safe. They harbor memories of the good, and entertain memories of the bad. What's done is done. As a child, the thing you feared most manifested itself later on because of course it did, you always knew it was going to, some fears are unavoidable... but now it's past. Your biggest fear reduced to nothing but one of countless memories that you hold on to. Why? Because you don't want to relive it.

I've always been fascinated with the negative connotation that's attached to the past. You're always told to forget it or leave it where it is, but if you do that you're doomed to repeat the same mistakes. Bound to relive those great fears that you so bravely overcome. The past is not a crutch, it's a tool. One that's imperative to use in your favor.

This injury has changed me, forever. It's as much a part of me as anything else. It's eaten up a good chunk of my career. These are all things I'm keenly aware of and there's nothing I can do to change them. BUT I'LL BE DAMNED if I give it the satisfaction of defining me or my career.

Now fret not Fiora, I'm not hungry for victory, nor am I vengeful. All I'm looking for is an opportunity, and that opportunity has presented itself in you. I see you've been equally as quiet this week, perhaps lost in your thoughts like me? We're similar in ways, aren't we? Maybe not obvious but you can force yourself to see the similarities. Two promising careers, both ruined... now looking for redemption. Boy when you boil it down, we're awfully boring. We're the plot of every bad sports movie ever made. But we've yet to reach our third act. The triumph. And this is where we can't lean on fiction to make ourselves feel better, we gotta face the real world... we can't afford to be optimists. This match on Voltage? Meaningless. I gain nothing from beating you, you gain nothing from beating me. But let's look forward beyond this, to the future. Oooh if only it could be as clear as the past. No matter how much we tout our abilities and no matter the amount of truth in any of it, we're at the very bottom of the pecking order. Don't pretend we're not, don't lose me. Don't know a damn thing about you but my brain is telling me to like you, so I do... at least for now.

We're the very last of the last and we don't have a damn thing going in our favor. The likelihood of both of us rising to the top is almost zero, there's a chance for one of us but the most likely scenario is we're fated to stay at the bottom. And we will if we don't get our priorities in check. I've made it clear I'm not going into this match for a victory, I'm not looking for it, I'm not expecting it, I don't want it. Everyone has to lose a match, everyone has to win a match, there's nothing special in that, there's nothing enticing, there's no win or loss that'll get the people talking, not when you're on our level... noooo sir. What we need to do is put on a show. A spectacle. Something that can only be seen with the eyes live, not on any piece of paper. Let the win and the loss fall where it may, whether it be with you or me, it doesn't make a difference. All I want is a good fight.

I hope you'll give me one.

Re: EAW Promoz! January 13th 2018, 4:22 pm by **Ryan Wilson**

I was wondering what to expect out of the Fish and eh bo-boy he didn't disappoint!

I mean Wow! Oh Man Oh Geez Rick! Can he be more gimmicky than that? Son of a Fish, sorry but you clearly are not at Jason Mamoa's level oh dear discount Aquaman. (Ryan would be amazing at Cinemasin! Ding~) Ha! Fourthwall you are giving me an idea for future promos, I'm gonna call it ''VoltageSINS!'' you'll be able to look it up on YouTube one day. But I digress. Son of a Fish? Thoughest Sumfish? Shell yeah? That's the Fishing Line because you said so? DUDE! You SO remind me if a character I made in an e-fed when I was younger. His name was Stoned Cold Steve Austin. That's what you are buddy, a character and let me tell you ... Ha! What I wrote on paper years ago has more charisma than the poor showing you are offering us this week. So Voltage now has a fishy character in Shark Man, more like Shark Boy if you ask me because his attempt at words is elementary school level at best! I'm not talking about his vocabulary here, I'm not one of those who would attack him like they attacked the guy who STILL didn't say he was sorry for Barry Bond'ing my face into defeat during Shock Value. Piece of advise kiddo, work on your words, you'll get chewed out on the Yellow brand. This is the only ~friendly~ advice I'm going to give you because one I'm a generous man but where I am most generous is in the distribution of fists, kicks and overall awesomeness!

Now, Sharky (You're new nickname, deal with it) this is not the Sea, or whatever little swamp or river you're from to be honest I don't care. The only fish here is you because you have to be dumb as a rainbow trout to think you can win based on the size of your opponent. Ah man, seriously I choked on my Red Bull when I heard you say this. It was hilariously... Sad! What will you say next? That you can beat a guy because he's from one Nationality or another? (That would be racist!) That would also be pathetic. I mean good on you if you have the confidence of a jellyfish but it'll take much more than that to get through El Ironico and I'm not talking about moi yet. If you think you can get through the two of us like a hot knife through butter, you're going to have a bad time. What will be your excuse after your loss? Your mask was maladjusted? You had salt water in your eye? No, you were thinking about your lady mermaid back home... Yeah that will surely be it. You are going to be the new Shaker Jones since he left for another brand, I guess he got tired of losing but just like you will he won't win more on a different show.

Before I switch to the more entertaining and interesting opponent I'll tell you this Fish Boy: Welcome to Voltage, Ironico and I will roll the rouge carpet for ya, stomp you on it then roll it away with you in it. That way the men will be able to fight while you sit at the kid's table.

EL IRRRRRRRRRRRRONICOOOOOOO!!!

What's up buddy? Had a good holiday? Spent time with la famille and drank a lot of brew? I know I did on my end.
Interesting bag of words you mixed for us in that promo of yours my friend, you seem determined to make 2018 your bitch hell I can't say I don't like the idea myself! Because I had the same thought as I was wondering what I could go for in terms of new year's resolution. Basically on my end I want to work on truly establishing the Ryan Wilson Show on Voltage and onto the whole EAW. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps and I'm thrilled out of my pants at the idea to get started! Step one? Go through you and Sharky tomorrow night!

I have to say something though bud, will ONE match truly ~fuck up~ the planification of your entire year? You can't possibly be serious my dude. We are only in January Sir Irony, one single match against a single minded water lover and yours truly is not going to destroy your hopes and dreams. If it does than I have to re-evaluate the respect I have for you because you are showing a very weak will and drive if my upcoming victory over you two is all you need to see your ambitions for the next year go up and smoke! On my end, a loss at your expense is not going to stop me one... singular... bit! Hell with only one win on Voltage so far in my tenure on the brand if I think like you do I would've asked for my release and would've gone back to full time cosplay but that's not my signature move, it's not how I roll. Losing? All part of the experience! The best in the World all went through their share of losses before achieving greatness now THIS is how you should think going on ahead through 2018 my friend!

I'm glad you feel loved! Because I'm going to give you a lot of it tomorrow, tough love that is! The kind that is shared through kicking your ass. And the match is no DQ? HA! Excellent! That's actually amazing! Because this is the first match I'll be allowed to go all out and do exactly whatever crosses my mind if it gives me a chance to get my second career W within Voltage. But before anything else I want to have some fun while I do it and with the current scenario I cannot say how I will not have a blast!

To conclude, I aim at stepping things up in 2018 and hey perhaps get a title shot or two.
And it all starts by stomping a no disqualification mudhole through you Ironico and our new resident fish, that will start 2018 the right way for me.
If I lose? As long as I manage to have put the hurt on both of you it's going to be acceptable because my goal remains before and anything else is to have a good time... At the expense of others!

I wonder if I dangle a bloody steak in front of Shark Man will... Wait for it... (Ryan don't.) ... Take the bait? (God dammit.)

BOOM!
THAT JUST HAPPENED!

Re: EAW Promoz! January 13th 2018, 3:07 pm by **Black Mamba**

“Here’s last month’s expenditures James.”

A small cardboard box of manila folders neatly stacked are placed on the corner of James Ranger’s desk. His office overlooking, strangely looking like a condo suite made into an office. James groans as he writes and types one handed on a wireless keyboard for a tablet.

(yelling) “This is not how i wanted to start my vacation Joy!”

(background) “Should of tasked your executives to do it in your absence.”

He groans again as he stops to stare at the box. The last three months had been nothing but overhaul after overhaul, failures, successes, contracts expiring and restarting anew. The new year was anything but cheery, let alone a prosperous for his investments. He pushed the calculator away, stepping out of his chair as he grabbed his jacket.

His manager, Joy Long, is seen lounging on the comfortable couch, reading up on the latest fashion as he walks by, her eyes watching him as he reaches for a glass in the kitchen pantry.

Joy Long: We got a interview panel coming up in a few hours. For EAW.

James Ranger looks over as he turns on the sink faucet, filling the cup with water.

James Ranger: I heard they were shaking up the rosters for the show. I suppose i get another chance to redeem myself on Showdown--

Joy Long: You’ve been relegated to Voltage.

James raises an eyebrow as he turns off the faucet, he leans back to ponder this as he sips some water.

James Ranger: Another crack at the New Breed Championship? Openweight Championship?

Joy Long: Possibilities don’t end there, but anything is possible.

James Ranger: Well, lets prepare for the panel. I am sure i have to address a lot of things.

A few hours later…

James Ranger is sitting with Joy Long massaging his shoulders, a friendly smile on his face as the cameras can be heard clicking.

Journalist #1: How are you feeling in regards to the EAW Roster Shakeup?

James Ranger: It is truly a wonder how fortunate i am to be in good hands in this company. I cannot express how truly lucky i am that i still have a contract with EAW. I look forward to working with the show management in taking my career to new heights. Of course, with this shuffle, i get a chance at many individuals that were affected. I cannot stress the excitement of facing wrestlers like the New Breed Champion Finnegan Wakefield, former Openweight Champion Ryan Marx,EAW Interwire Champion Moongoose McQueen, Lars Grier, El Ironico, hell...the joy of seeing Ryan Wilson on the same roster is undoubtedly greater than facing anyone else on the roster as i feel he should have graduated from NEO sooner.

Journalist #2: What about your goals? Now that you are competing under the Voltage brand...is there reason to change any of them?

James Ranger: It is something to give pause and reflect on, but i do not see the need to change course. The difference from the past with Showdown and the present with Voltage is the names of the individuals holding the straps of the show. Nobi and the National Elite Championship was my sole focus. You tend to not carry more goals than you can handle in this business. I am a bit conservative in that regard.

Journalist #3: You’re slated to face off against Chris Elite, a man who some time ago, defeated the likes of Mr. DEDEDE in what was documented as a 6.75 star match--

James Ranger: Excuse me...sorry for interrupting...but 6.75? On a scale of…?

Journalist #3: Five stars.

James Ranger: Ookay..

James pauses for effect, taking in some water, raising a finger as he places the cup of water down and clears his throat.

James Ranger: Before you take on record that i am mocking and disregarding that score as something as fake as the news reported in politics...i watched that match. There is nothing but respect for those two individuals that tore each other apart. Granted...politics were behind that match i feel, but nonetheless...a “God Killer” if there is one, Chris Elite is a very dangerous opponent to be facing right off the bat. Its completely day and night between starting off Showdown with Prince of Pathetic….and then i am facing someone who should already be world heavyweight champion as of King of Elite in my eyes. So when the you mention 6.75 out of five stars, i have reason to pause and consider what and how i should be tackling this mountain placed before me.

Journalist #1: Do you believe you can defeat Chris Elite?
James sighs as he looks away, smirking as Joy Long frowns at the journalist, stopping to take a seat next to her client. She brushes her back as James clears his throat and staring back into the crowd.

James Ranger: In this business, i like to say...believing is one thing...i call it “Hope”, sounds better right? You want to know if i HOPE to beat Chris Elite on the first week in voltage. You HOPE that with that momentum, i could...maybe lay claim to ANY of the belts on Voltage, cause let’s be realistic about this….who HAS...defeated Chris Elite in the year of 2017? Who has truly and cleanly, beaten the man who beaten a god? Not too many on that list. So when tackling someone like him. I have to have already...cleared that thought out of my mind. The first hurdle if you will. That’s the first step towards victory. The second is matching him move for move and taking it in a different direction than what he is used to. World Class talent i will be damned...he is still human...he might be viewed as Triple A Talent in the world today, but i have a job to do: Entertain the fans and show them that there is more to Voltage than those already well known….already well established in the realm of EAW...in the realm of Voltage. The year of 2018 might start off rough, but i will not just HOPE to kick off with Chris Elite and best him. I do not do HOPE, not when you’re trying to impress and show the fans something they believe in.

Joy Long: I believe that will be all the questions answered today folks. Thank for coming and thanks for your time.

James steps up and leave as the journalists still attempt to inquire with more questions as Joy follows closely behind, her heels clicking on the floor. James’s face darkens against the lighting of the room.

Was there doubt or hope in his eyes?

Re: EAW Promoz! January 13th 2018, 9:32 am by **The Revenant**

Voltage Part 3:

"Who am I?"

“To be fair I should’ve expected the response, and I did. Doesn't matter the history on a developmental brand, even Ace said that. This entire place here, this ‘whole other level’, the big leagues, ‘The Main Roster’. You know when I heard about it, when those NEO contractor suit fucks came up to every single one of us, and pitched the bullshit that was NEO being a ‘Gateway to the Land of Opportunity’, I think some of them even ate it up. Some, came in full blaze, reaching for the stars, fucking BRANDING themselves the top of NEO, before they’d even beaten jobbers like Marr and the rest”.

“And you know what happened? They fell flat on their fuckin’ asses. You know I signed up with NEO all the way back in the summer, I trained, went through that bullshit combine, and then hit the scene. And go the fuck ahead, berate my record, say how I’m not flawless in my number of victories, or limited in my defeats. But the thing that separates me from those useless dickheads, is how I kept going…”.

“Yes it’s easy to give me the ‘Will you put up or quit EAW’, well it would’ve meant something all the way back in October. But here I am Finnegan, more than one hundred and fifty two days since I signed what was a cheap buy out contract, and I’m Still Here. Even when those stereotypical loudmouths, coming in and branding themselves the ‘King of NEO’, The ‘Future of EAW’, starting their predictable fuckin’ self hype train before it was even built, I was still going. Day In, Day Out. Never rejecting or no showing a fight, Never quitting, You can praise Maddox all you want, you can say how Kinkade’s the best acrobat, but you want to know what seperates them from me”.

“Even when things got just a bit rough, when I started to loose, when I’ve accumulated the Eleven fight streak that I have, did I quit? DID I?! YOU’RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I DIDN’T. I STUCK WITH IT, because ONE DAY I knew, I’d get up here one day, and that all that corrupt bullshit in NEO would be repaid. I could go on All day, about how every, single, night. Everytime I crawled off of that shitty, low grade stage back in New Jersey, I went back behind Gorilla, I knew, when I got up to the Main Roster, all the losses and gambles would pay off.”.

“So before you give me the spiel that, I expect every veteran to give me upon arriving here Finnegan, let me lay some cards down. I’m not some 22 year old, illegitimate son like Steve Sanders, I’m a grown fucking man, who’s tore up the MMA scene for near ten god damn years, just before I came over to Pro Wrestling. I Know how to fight, so don’t act like I’m some green as hell school boy waltzing in, and don’t ask me if I’m gonna be the next NEO boy to quit. Because let’s be honest, when the chips are down, Maddox, Arsel, all of those new bloods the other brands hyped up? They’ll leave. And I’ll still be here”.

“Now you’re a skilled champion Finn, (If I can call you that), and trust me when I say my training camp’s been preparing for true top fighter. I expect you to be as skilled as the champions this company promotes every, single, week with their advertisements….. And if you’re not, I guess the Voltage audience will enjoy seeing a British Bulldog getting mauled by a Lion”.

“Less than a day left Finnegan. Don’t Disappoint”.

Re: EAW Promoz! January 13th 2018, 8:09 am by **Shark Man**

Oh shit, The Sea’s Toughest Son of a Fish is going to make his Voltage debut this week. I have to say, I’m very exited right now. I’m going to fry some stupid fishes from now on because Shark Man is indeed the The Sea’s Toughest Son of a Fish.

So, apparently, my debut match is going to be fun. Kids and Adults will love this. I ain’t lying to you all, I’m telling you the truth. I’m going to fight againts other 2 masked men in my debut. Oh my, everyone will love this yay.

Trust me, I’m going to love this as well. I’m going to enjoy punching two dummies because first, they both are sucks and second, they are just dummies.

You don’t know who hell I am Ironico? I’m one of the most NEO stands out. Yes sure, I was only there for a short time, but I was in the final two before Arselx kicked my ass in NEO: Crowned Blood in that Battle Royal match. I’m The Sea’s Toughest Son of a Fish after all. Sure, I got a hard time to beat Arselx and hell, I did lose to him, but he was a fatass. He used his size to demolish me. You are skinny, Ironico and I can punch you as much as I want. You might have beat some giants, but I’m a Shark who will bite you right in the ass. You will need Finnegan Wakefield to cheer you up after I beat you and Ryan Wilson, this week. He’s going to comfort you. If Finn wants to take breath on my necks too, then I don’t mind kicking his ass as well. Maybe I’ll be the one who will beat Finn for his New Breed title. Oh Shell Yeah, I’m going to make an example out of you and Ryan Wilson.

Hey Ryan Wilson you son of a fish, who the fuck are you? A fucking cosplayer? A Spiderman parody? A cheap ass version of Ironman? Dude you are confusing me. Ironico is confusing me as well, but he just dress as...Ironico. But you? Who the hell are you? I bet you are an ugly man, hence why the mask. Well sure, I’m wearing a mask as well, but it identify who I am. I’m The Sea’s Toughest Son of a Fish. I can survive from Tsunami, therefore, I’m tougher than you are, Ryan Wilson. Oh shit, you are Deadpool huh? Uh....ok....I bet you won’t mind if I take your head off from your body this week, you can regenade yourself after all.

And That’s The Fishin Line....cause Shark Man said so!
