BATTLE FOR HEGEMONY
JANUARY 12TH, 2020
LIVE FROM THE MID-SOUTH COLISEUM IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE
Pyrotechnics go off in the Mid-South Coliseum as the XHF faithfuls erupt. It is time for the precursor of Supremacy, Battle of Hegemony.
King: WELCOME TO THE BATTLE FOR HEGEMONY, EVERYONE! Your main men King and Hawke are here to call the action right down to the wire, and BOY what a show do we have in store for you! Tonight, we find out who joins X*Crown Champion Maverick and Death Trap at Supremacy in a match for the X*Crown Championship!
Hawke: That's right King, and word is Mongo wants us to announce RIGHT NOW the stipulation for that match! The four people who walk out of here to contend for the highest belt in the industry will be competing... IN A LEGO MINEFIELD MATCH!
King: How brutal! I can't wait!
Hawke: Opening the show, three of the best athletes to come from Japan will lock up, as Destiny Wrestling, LXW and J-Rok aim to secure the first available spot of the match! Mike Lio, Ai Moe and Fukushima Zombie are in one ring, but only ONE can move to Supremacy!
King: And after that, SWAT and PSW sent their best athletes to take control of the other spot. Zoran Sainovic and Blake Luthor, two formidable strikers and grapplers will go toe to toe to see who wears the best suits! I mean, who gets to go to Supremacy!
Hawke: And all of this starts NOW!

Hawke: And all of this starts NOW!
Feuer Frei! by Rammstein plays and Mike Lio comes through the curtain. Tonight, he's got a chip on his shoulder after a loss earlier today in Destiny Wrestling's Sunday Showcase. Now though, he's all business as he marches to the ring, walking to his corner and leaning up against it, waiting for his opponents to enter the fray.
Bonnie Jenkins: In the ring at this time, standing at 6'5 and weighing 250 pounds. He hails from Tokyo Japan but resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Representing Destiny Wrestling, he is "The Lion" Mike Lio!
Hawke: Lio is a valued member of the XHF Community, and he looks to bring justice to the alt-feds by defeating two formidable foes en-route to the X*Crown!
King: If he really wants to be valued he'd show us some PUPPIES!
Hawke: <sigh>
Kill the Virgin by SCANDAL bangs throughout the speakers as Ai comes out from the back. She blows kisses to the fans before she makes her way down the rampway. She shakes hands with fans and walks around the ring before she enters and blows more kisses to her fans.
Bonnie Jenkins: Coming down to the ring at this time, standing at 5 foot even and weighing 100 pounds. She hails from Mito, Ibaraki, Japan. Representing Lucha Xtreme Wrestling, she is the LXW Women's Champion, Ai Moe!
King: LXW Represent! The Women's Champ is in the house and ready to rumble!
Meshi Kuna By INU plays and the SSS fans erupt, as Fukushima Zombie comes out all smiles! She runs down the ramp and slides into the ring, face-to-face-to-face with Ai and Lio.
Bonnie Jenkins: And now the final participant in the ring, she stands at 5'5 and weighs 135 pounds. Hailing from Fukushima, Japan. Representing J-Rok, she is the Fukushima Zombie!
Hawke: That's it, everyone in the match is in the ring. Time to find out who joins X*Crown Champion Maverick and End of Days briefcase holder Death Trap at Supremacy!
The three competitors circle each other as the bell rings. Fuku and Ai quickly charge Mike Lio to take him down fast. He towers over the both of them and with some ease, holds them by the head away from him, but Ai swerves under and dropkicks him in the leg. This stumbles the Lion, so Fukushima steps back and nails a shining wizard to the side of Lio's head! She turns to Ai, smiling, but Ai is nowhere to be found. Suddenly, she's rolled up from behind!
One...
Kickout!
Fuku turns around, furious, as Ai just does the Kylo shrug, mouthing "Business is business." Fuku lounges for Ai, and they begin to trade strikes, the crowd cheering for each punch, chop, and move tossed at each other. Fuku begins to deliver a few quick chops, and runs the ropes, hopping over Ai and STRAIGHT ONTO LIO'S SHOULDERS! Thinking fast, she delivers a hurricanrana onto Lio who rolls through and LEVELS AI WITH A CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!
King: The crowd is on fire, loving the quick paced, fast action they get to bear witness to tonight!
Hawke: Bah humbug, in my day this art was perfected by true technicians, not flashy stuff like this.
King: You can't deny these three aren't entertaining. Check out Zombie!
Fuku delivers a mean superkick to Lio, and climbs the ropes while he's stunned. She goes to leap off, but Ai grabs her. They struggle on top, and Fuku takes advantage, doing a top rope Spanish Fly ONTO MIKE LIO! ALL THREE TAKE A TUMBLE TO THE MAT AND THE CROWD GOES CRAZY!
"THIS IS AWESOME!" clap clap clapclapclap
"THIS IS AWESOME!" clap clap clapclapclap
Fuku rolls onto the apron, pulling herself up with the ropes before jumping up on the ropes for a springboard... well, whatever it was, it doesn't matter because AI MOE CATCHES HER WITH AN INFLUENCER! AI MOE SHUT DOWN WHATEVER MOMENTUM FUKUSHIMA HAD GOING AND COVERS HER FOR A PIN!
One...
Two...
Break-up by Mike Lio!
Mike Lio shoves Ai away and makes the cover for himself! The dirty bastard is trying to reap the benefits of Ai Moe's work!
One...
Two...
Kickout/Break-up by Ai Moe!
King: Woah! What do you reckon happened first, Hawke? Fuku kicked out or Moe made the save?
Hawke: I think Fuku most definitely kicked out, have you seen a match with her? She's resilient and a butt-kicker! It'll take more than a botched move and a few pins to take her off her perch!
The three competitors sitting apart from one another, collecting their thoughts and breath, constructing new plans for victory. Mike Lio is the first to make it to his feet. The Lion stretches his arms and demands his foes stand up to him, mocking how pitiful they were. Ai stands up to Mike, hitting him with palm strikes, various kicks, and goes for a high leaping kamigoye but Lio tackles her and lifts her up, dropping her with a BRAINBUSTER! She drops to the mat, losing consciousness slowly, but standing on the top is FUKUSHIMA! SHE DROPS ONTO AI WITH A 450 SPLASH TO PROPERLY INCAPACITATE HER PROPERLY!
Hawke: Big mistake by Zombie, she's left all alone with that meathead Lio.
Fuku stands defiant to Mike Lio, delivering a combination of lucha and strong style kicks to Lio. This distupts him enough for Fuku to kick him to the ground and climb to the top rope. She points up to the sky, and the crowd cheers. She turns around, and NAILS A MOONSAULT-DOUBLE FOOT STOMP COMBO TO MIKE LIO! THE MID-SOUTH COLISEUM EXPLODES AS FUKUSHIMA ZOMBIE MAKES THE COVER!
ONE...
TWO...
THR-KICKOUT BY MIKE LIO! THE CROWD BOOS!
King: OH! So close! They're keeping us on the edge of our seats and this match is just the opener!
Fuku slams her fists on the mat, she's clearly pissed. What will it take to put away this behemoth? She looks at the top rope, slowly pulling herself up and making the trek up top. The crowd cheers as she stands, rubbing off some of the makeup on her face. She turns around, and AI MOE IS BACK UP! AI MOE PUSHES FUKUSHIMA ZOMBIE INTO A COFFIN DROP-LIKE MOVE! SHE BARELY CAN REACT BEFORE MOE SANDWICHES HER WITH A BIG SPLASH! SHE PUSHES FUKU AWAY AND COVERS LIO! THIS HAS TO BE IT!
ONE...
TWO...
THREE-KICKOUT! KICKOUT AT TWO AND 9/10! EVERYONE CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT IS GOING ON!
Hawke: I might have been hard earlier, but even I have to admit this is, as the crowd is saying now, awesome!
Ai picks up Lio, going for a kamigoye, but Lio shoves her off. Lio is up and he begins to hulk up! He's no longer fatigued and has caught a second wind! He delivers a chop to the chest of Fuku, headbutt to Ai, forearm smash, straight jab, back and forth between the two he takes it! He grabs them by the heads and drives their heads into each other. They stumble back, and a double clothesline takes them all down! They stir, but struggle to stand. The referee begins to count.
One...
Two...
Lio is at a knee, Ai and Fukushima are quite literally shaking the cobwebs away.
Three...
Four...
Five...
Lio has pulled himself in a corner, Ai and Fuku are almost at their feet. AI FALLS OVER!
Six...
Seven...
Fukushima is at her feet and charges Lio. He takes the time to catch and counter her with a modified chokeslam onto Ai. He plants his foot on Fuku, who's draped over Ai. Effectively covering them both.
One...
Two...
BOTH WOMEN GRAB THE ROPES AT THE SAME TIME!
Furious, Mike picks up both women. He wants to make a statement. Lio holds Ai and Fuku, one in each arm and lifts them both up for a DOUBLE ROAR OF THE LION! The crowd makes jungle roars as he kicks Fuku out of the ring, hooking the legs of Ai.
One...
Two...
Three!
Bonnie Jenkins: The winner of this match, advancing to the X*Crown Championship match at Supremacy, "The Lion" MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE LIO!
King: Mike Lio does it! He punches the ticket for Destiny and gets himself a shot for the top of the XHF! Something he missed out on while Subject #42 was the top dog.
Hawke: Who will be joining this odd trifecta of fighters at Supremacy? Find out in just a few moments, after this commercial break!
We fade out as Mike Lio celebrates, Ai Moe heads up the side of the ramp in dejection, and Fukushima stares up at Mike from the floor, a look of frustration and disbelieve painted on her face where the facepaint had worn off.
One...

Brawler by Inspirational Epic Music plays and the crowd boos viciously. “Hammerhand” Blake Luthor walks out from the back, looking angry at the entire world. He makes his way down to the ring, ignoring the boos from the fans.
Bonnie Jenkins: In the ring at this time, standing at 6'3 and weighing 275 pounds. He hails from the dark underbelly of the underworld. Representing Phantom Star Wrestling, he is "Hammerhand" Blake Luthor!
King: PSW's latest acquisition Blake Luthor is, as per usual, all business heading to the ring tonight!
Der Kommissar by After the Fire plays over the PA system, as Zoran Sainovic pushes through the backstage curtains all business. It's hard not to walk in sync with this music, but the speed with which Sainovic stalks down the aisle almost feels unnatural. The crowd jeer. Reach out to tug or slap him. Throw garbage. Even as beer splashes his three piece suit, Kommissar Z ignores the trash, keeping his hateful eyes fixed on the ring. As he arrives at ringside, he neatly folds his coat, handing it to a PA. Making his way up the steel steps, Sainovic rolls back his sleeves.
Bonnie Jenkins: And now having entered the ring, standing at 6'1 and weighing 242 pounds. He hails from Belgrade, Serbia. Representing SWAT, he is Zoran Sainovic!
Hawke: And here is the "Kommissar Z" of Syndicate Wrestling and Tradition! He has a chip on his shoulder as he aims to show the world why you shouldn't slouch on SWAT!
The bell rings and the match begins with both men circling around one another, Zoran begins the action with an attempt at the Collar and Elbow Tie Up but Luthor is quick enough to counter it with a Waistlock from behind Zoran. Luthor lifts him and drops him back down with a German Suplex, but he does not release the waistlock but opts to pick him back up and throw him over his head again with another German Suplex, and if you thought two was enough… Here’s a third, the trifecta of German Suplexes!
King: It’s the Drei Freunde of German Suplexes!
Hawke: I didn’t know you spoke German, King?
King: I’ve been using that Duolingo app thing.
Hawke: But why German?
King: I heard there was a World Wa- Hawke covers King’s mouth
Luthor releases Zoran after the final German Suplex and sends him across the ring, Zoran gets back to his feet as Luthor comes running in for a Clothesline but he misses it as Zoran ducks the arm, rebounds off the ropes and a Crossbody connects! Quick pinfall attempt is made.
...One!
Luthor kicks out at one but Zoran rolls him over, he's looking for Interrogation '18 but Luthor crawls out of the way, Luthor kicks the shins of Zoran. Luthor waits for Zoran to get back to his feet, scoops him up and slams him down with a Michinoku Driver! Zoran gets back to his feet, Luthor attempts the Hammerhand Blast early but Zoran grabs the fist and brings Luthor down to the mat with a Fujiwara Armbar. Luthor finds a way to roll right into another pin.
...One!
...Tw-
And Zoran kicks out!
Hawke: Already a very technical match, this only seems to be the best Technical Wrestling there is!
King: Still hating on AWF, Hawke?
Hawke: Always, King.
Luthor brings Zoran up to his feet and Irish Whips his opponent into the corner, he comes running in and Zoran steps out of the way, leaving Luthor in the corner. Zoran comes charging in with a huge Splash into the corner! Zoran wraps his arms around Luthor and sends him over his head with a Belly to Belly Suplex, he then gets back to his feet and drops the fist right into the cranium of Luthor. Zoran brings Luthor back to his feet and Irish Whips him into the ropes, goes for a clothesline but Luthor ducks under and rebounds off the ropes again, coming back at Zoran with the Skull Drilling! The Lou Thez Press connects as Luthor hammers away at Zoran… But Zoran pushes him off! He’s back to his feet and he’s shaking… Like he’s hulking up, brother… He rips his tie off and throws it to the ground!
King: NOW IT’S ON!
Hawke: Apparently a signature thing for Zoran to be doing, no idea what that’s about.
King: THAT TIE HAD A FAMILY DAMMIT!
Hawke: Are you hallucinating that your Jim Ro- Dammit, I’m breaking fourth walls again.
Luthor returns back to his feet, watching Zoran look like an idiot in his mindset, cocking his arm and locking jaw to face with the Hammerhand Blast! Zoran staggers back onto the ropes but it takes no effect! Zoran took his vitamins and he’s ready to brother him up, running at Luthor with a Shotei! The Pressure Point connects right onto the jaw! And another! And anot- No Shotei this time as Luthor grabs the arm and flings Zoran into the corner, ripping at his shirt and giving him some Ribbreaker Punches. Irish Whip to the ropes goes Zoran and another Skull Drilling drops him, this time there’s no pushing him away as Luthor goes in on Zoran.
Hawke: This is bad news for SWAT, they thought this was their one way ticket to coming closer at the X*Crown.
King: Well, Luthor smells blood in the water and like a shark, he’s ready to feast up.
Luthor gets up and walks to the corner, he cocks the arm and he’s ready for another Superman Punch… He’s looking to finish Zoran for good, he’s up and Luthor runs in… SHOTEI! Pressure Point lands and right into the CWM Special! Pin attempt made…
...One!
...Two!
...Thr-
Luthor kicks out in time! He kicks out in time! Zoran’s looking for Interrogation ‘18 once again but just as before, Luthor crawls away. Zoran drags Luthor back to his feet but Luthor was ready for him as he lands a hard punch to the gut of Zoran. Luthor pushes him away, no cocking of the arm but going straight for it… NO! Zoran grabs the arm and puts Luthor the Guillotine Choke, he’s going for Conditionizer but Luthor breaks fre- HE DOESN’T! ZORAN WITH THE REVERSE STO FACEBUSTER! THE REVOLVER DROPS LUTHOR AS ZORAN GOES FOR THE COVER!
...One!
...Two!
...Three!
Hawke: My word! Zoran Sainovic has done it!
King: SWAT now move onto Supremacy with a representative at play!
Bonnie Jenkins: Here is your winner and advancing to the X*Crown Match at Supremacy… ZORAN SAINOVIC!
King: It’s the Drei Freunde of German Suplexes!
Hawke: I didn’t know you spoke German, King?

Hawke: My word! Zoran Sainovic has done it!
King: SWAT now move onto Supremacy with a representative at play!
Bonnie Jenkins: Here is your winner and advancing to the X*Crown Match at Supremacy… ZORAN SAINOVIC!
Sainovic stands tall over Blake Luthor, kicking him out of the ring and raising his hands high in victory. The emancipation of SWAT from the judgement and boundaries of the XHF would soon collapse, as they'd revel in his victory.
Inception (Junkie XL Remix) vs Hans Zimmer hits the PA and the fans go ballistic. There's an uncertain pause, and the X*Crown Champion Maverick walks out as the crowd goes ballistic!
King: X*Crown Champ and recent AWF acquisition Maverick is here in Memphis!
Hawke: Looks like he's early to get an early scout on his competition for Supremacy!
Maverick circles the ring, eyes locked with the panting Zoran. He rolls under the ropes and is all smiles with the man from SWAT. That smile suddenly disappears as a serious look is painted on his face. Zoran points to the X*Crown around Maverick's waist, and he gestures around his own waist. Maverick just smirks and wags a finger in his face, backing up after trying to take the spotlight from the SWAT master... and backs right into The Lion of Destiny Wrestling!
Hawke: Here's Mike Lio! Things are becoming a party out here!
Maverick turns around, and is face-to-chest with Lio! Lio gives him a giant smile, or moreso baring his teeth in intimidation at the champ. Maverick finds himself sandwiched between the two giants, who looks to make some early work on him! A group of security surrounds the ring, ready to jump in at the first moment of contact. Then...
THE HARD SELL BY COHEED AND CAMBRIA HITS THE PA!
King: HERE COMES DEATH TRAP!
And indeed here he comes, clad in that same Armani suit, briefcase in his hand. He simply stands on the stage, briefcase high in the air. The circumstances of Supremacy begin to dawn on Maverick.
Hawke: What a way to end off the Battle for Hegemony! I'm Hawke...
King: ..and I'm King. We're signing off, see you in two weeks for Supremacy!
