| Location: Gate City View Arena, Atlanta, GA Date: 11/08/2019 |
| Going Global!
The sun is setting over Atlanta as we start outside ‘The View’, GCW’s custom home arena. The site of what was known as Gate City Wrestling.
Transitioning inside, a blue and golden yellow banner containing the Phoenix logo on the left runs across the bottom of the screen with the words “LIVE! Atlanta, GA.” On the right.
Panning the crowd, cheers echo throughout the Gate City View Arena as fans clamoring for a return to professional wrestling’s glory days cheer as the camera lands them upon the Jumbo-Tron. The excitement for the return of GCW is palpable in the air.
Continuing to circle the arena, “GCW” chants rain from every seat, from the front row all the way up to the nosebleeds as the Blue and Gold ring apron and ropes take center stage once more.
Victoria Elspeth – Good evening wrestling fans! My name is Victoria Elspeth And it is my absolute pleasure to be the first to welcome you all to The Festival of Fights! GCW is back! And, if I’m back that means…
Joey LaDude – That’s right, one of the best to ever do it between the ropes, on the mic, or between the sheets… ‘The Dude’ is back! More importantly, GCW is back baby!
Victoria Elspeth –After an almost five year hiatus, GCW presents a one night tournament, but not just any one night tournament. Tonight we return with The Festival of Fights 2019!
Joey LaDude – The Festival of Fights wasn’t around when I competed but it’s a standard tournament bracket with a twist. Once the final competitors are decided, there is a second chance match and the winner of that match joins the final match!
Victoria Elspeth –It is known as one of the most demanding tournaments in pro wrestling. There is a potential for the winner to have to compete a staggering four times! The one night format forcing the competitors to perform superhuman feats of endurance!
The tournament bracket comes up on the Jumbo-Tron, highlighting the first match. Victoria and Joey begin to break down the tournament bracket. Starting with…
Joey LaDude – First up is Armani Decano. One half of Greed alongside Mark Mitchell, the Tagteam specialist and ‘High Society’ member had a chip on his shoulder and would be looking to prove a point.
Victoria Elspeth – I agree Decano has an attitude, he’s more known for his Tagteam work than singles, but he’s absolutely a dangerous and capable wrestler when on his game!
Joey LaDude – And his opponent, man I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the board room when this contract was negotiated, he takes on…my dear old friend, Rob Riot!
Victoria Elspeth – Your friend? The founder of the company that rose from the ashes and perhaps the best member of the original GCW roster to never win the championship.
Joey LaDude – Riot himself has gone on record as saying that not winning the GCW World Heavyweight Championship is one of the sore points of his otherwise Hall of Fame career.
Victoria Elspeth – As arguably the number one seed in the tournament, Rob Riot could punch his ticket for a chance at righting that wrong tonight!
The Jumbo-Tron sends the images of Decano and Riot back, focusing on the second match of the evening…
Victoria Elspeth – That brings us to the first pairing of new faces tonight when Vladimir Abukamov takes on Pequeno Dinosaurio!
Joey LaDude – Now we know very little about Vladimir Abukamov, but from bumping into Adrian Styles earlier today, he told me he tried to get an interview with ‘The Nerve Agent’ and all he got was a stare and some grunting in Russian!
Victoria Elspeth – All I was able to gain on Abukamov was that he’s a grappler, likely to tend toward locking an opponent in a submission rather than flashy displays of power or speed, I’m told Abukamov has a high level combat sambo background and a mean streak a country mile wide. On the other hand, when it comes to Pequeno Dinosaurio, there isn’t much to know. A rookie Luchador still very much in the beginning of his in-ring career from Mexico City, the bright coloured and lightning quick high flyer should give us a great stylistic match up against the grappler, Abukamov!
Removing Abukamov and Dinosaurio and setting the top half of the bracket aside, the third match of the evening is featured next.
Victoria Elspeth – This third matchup will see the dark and mysterious Nightshade, taking on the man who is likely favourited to be headed to the finals along side the likes of Riot, Salem Morningstar!
Joey LaDude – Another return from the days of GCW past, Salem Morningstar was the first person to sign a contract to appear here tonight and he’ll need that enthusiasm to get past he opponent, the Deadly Noghtshade!
Victoria Elspeth – Nightshade is something almost out of a nightmare. Dressed in black and carrying what is basically a spiked club with him wherever he goes, the 6’8” denizen of the night could be a potential, pardon the pun, dark horse in the tournament.
Sliding away, the Jumbo-Tron moves on from Nightshade and Morningstar and shows us the final match of round one…
Joey LaDude – Which brings us to the final match of round one, Aaron Chandler will step in there against the monster known only as, Tarrasque!
Victoria Elspeth – Aaron Chandler is a tremendously talented wrestler returning to the ring after a serious leg injury that nearly ended his career! Chandler will certainly be looking to show the world that not only is he healed, he’s better than ever!
Joey LaDude – He’ll need to be better than ever. You said it yourself, A A Ron is getting in there with a monster! Known as a vicious enforcer, he disappeared after his handler died! Let’s see what kind of wild match we get when these two who are both looking to make a statement on their way to round two, collide!
Sliding back into center screen to take command of Jumbo-Tron once again, the full round one bracket stays for a moment…
Victoria Elspeth – Heading into Round 2, we maintain a standard format with two matches slated for round two with both winners advancing to the final match!
Joey LaDude – Most tournament brackets end there and that’s fine, but not here. Before the finals, one last match takes place. A Second Chance Match containing all six entrants eliminated in rounds one and two! The winner makes it a three way dance in the finals!
Victoria Elspeth –Endurance, sacrifice, redemption…all of these things are possible within the Festival of Fights!
Joey LaDude – And somehow, that’s not all!
Victoria Elspeth – Before the finals, The Winner of the Second Chance Match will be afforded the chance to rest while we turn back the clock just a bit. Prior to GCW there was a short lived promotion called Phoenix Wrestling Elite.
Joey LaDude – Even though short lived, PWE served as almost the spiritual precursor to GCW, so tonight we honour our history and present…
Victoria Elspeth – PWE’s only two singles Champions Going one on one for the first, and likely last, time ever! Prior to the finals of the Festival of Fights, PWE Phoenix Rising Champion and recent free agent, ‘D’ will face the long thought retired PWE World Heavyweight Champion, Andrew Morgan!
Joey LaDude – I got to hand it to Sinclair and company this time out, what a card! I guess there’s nothing else to do but start the show!
Victoria Elspeth – I couldn’t agree more Joey! The excitement is in the air, so without further ado, welcome back to Gate City Wrestling!
The crowd cheers as the Jumbo-Tron contains only the Festival of Fights logo. Original GCW rig announcer and fiancée of David Sinclair, Katie Evans stands at the ready!
?.?. – Not so fast…
A strange male’s voice causes the crowd’s cheers to all but die as a silver haired and bearded man in a black suit steps through the curtain.
?.?. – …Now I couldn’t be out there to start the show, but I have a very important announcement. My friends call me C.W. and I’m the guy paying the bills around here. Atlanta, Georgia has always been our home and will continue to be the home of GCW!
Walking to the ring, with microphone in hand, the older man seems as comfortable in front of thousands of wrestling fans as he might be at home in his own living room. Stepping through the ropes with ease he stands center ring beside Katie Evans.
C.W. – But part of the reason we folded in the past was because we weren’t ready to make the big plays. So, though ‘The View’ will always be our home, I’m here to announce that we’re going global. From time to time, GCW will now tour the world, bringing our brand of non stop action, and wrestling, to fan all around the world! From now on, we’re no longer just the keepers of Gate City. We are Global Championship Wrestling!
Turning to Katie, C.W. motions for the show to continue before heading to exit the ring.
Katie Evans - Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Gate City…
Seeing him stop as he exited the ring a glare from C.W. causes Katie to instantly correct herself.
Katie Evans - …welcome to Global Championship Wrestling. Welcome; to The Festival of Fights!
Victoria Elspeth – We haven’t even started the show and we have a huge announcement! We’ve gone Global! GCW now stands for Global Championship Wrestling and our new financial backer C.W. wasted no time in setting the stage for a huge night to remember!
Joey LaDude – Absolutely Vicky! The Gate City will always be our home, but the world is now our domain! Global Championship Wrestling baby!

FOF '19 Round One Match
|
Katie Evans - The following match is scheduled for one fall and is part of the Festival Of Fights Tournament!
"I'm the Man" Aloe Blacc hit’s and the capacity crowd in the sold-out Gate City View spring to their feet to welcome this first competitor in Global Championship Wrestling, The hometown hero, Armani Decano.
Katie Evans - Introducing first, from Atlanta, Georgia, The Genuine Article, ARMANI DECANO!!!
Armani Decano makes his way out onto the stage in his trademark black ‘Greed’ briefs. His smug, self-confident smirk saying all that needs to be said of The Genuine Article. Decano’s tag team partner, Mark Mitchell, makes his way onto the stage behind Armani wearing jeans and a black “H$” Tee.
Victoria Elspeth - Why on earth is Mark Mitchell coming out here? He isn’t even booked to wrestle tonight!
Joey LaDude - GREED are a world renowned tag team. One of the best there is… No way were we getting one without the other Vicky!
Armani and Mark grin at one another atop the crowd, lapping up every moment of the warm reception they are receiving from the Atlanta crowd. The two men start down the ramp toward the ring, both ignoring the outstretched hands of those luck enough to have snagged those VIP seats.
Victoria Elspeth - Look at the arrogance as they ignore their fans! Anywhere else in the world and these two would be getting booed out of the area; you’d think they would embrace the home crowd and make the most of this hometown advantage!
Joey LaDude - Are you kidding? Have you ever met the members of High Society?! These guy’s do what they want, when they want, where they want!
Victoria Elspeth - Joey, I don’t know what the last four years has done to you, but you really seem to know your stuff… I’m impressed!
Joey LaDude - The last four years have introduced me to a smart watch, Vicky! Knowledge on the go bitches!!!!
Katie Evans - Now, on his way to the ring, The Riot Star, ROB RIOT!!!!!
"I Feel You" by Depeche Mode blasts over the sound system and the crowd in attendance go crazy for the GCW icon that is Rob Riot.
Victoria Elspeth - There he is! Rob Riot BACK in the GCW!
As Riot makes his way out onto the stage, the crowd amps up even further, cheering for the legendary Rob Riot.
Joey LaDude - Rob Riot generating one of the loudest crowd reactions I have ever heard!
Victoria Elspeth - This crowd are so euphoric over the return of GCW, it seems that just about everyone is over tonight!
Rob Riot reaches the bottom of the ramp and climbs the steps into the ring.
Joey LaDude - Rob Riot looks ready for action!
Victoria Elspeth - Rob Riot IS ready for action! He is hot off of a victory at RSW’s Anarchy 50 where he defeated long term stable mates Frank Windsor and Billy Fowler! He is riding a wave of momentum which could seriously serve him well during this tournament!
DING! DING!! DING!!!
The bell sounds and both men immediately tie up. Armani aggressively drives a knee into the gut of Rob Riot, doubling him over and driving him back in the process. As Riot tries to fight back, Armani pushes his shoulder into Riot’s face and rakes it against his eyes. Blinded, Riot calls out in pain allowing Armani to force him back against the turnbuckle.
Victoria Elspeth - Riot coming off worse in that exchange!
Joey LaDude - Armani Decano is a master of the squared circle and if he somehow manages to derail Riot in round one it almost guarantees his place in the final!
Armani sends Riot across the ring and into the opposite turnbuckle in a bone crunching impact. He quickly follows in and leaps through the air, hitting Riot with a turnbuckle splash and following up with a bulldog planting Riot in the middle of the ring. Decano goes for a pin and Dan Chase drops to the mat to count the pin.
… One… Kickout!
Victoria Elspeth - Rob Riot kicking out with authority before the two count!
Decano gets quickly to his feet and immediately starts stomping on the downed Rob Riot, targeting arms, legs and torso.
Victoria Elspeth - Decano perfectly executing the Stomps made famous by Ronnie Garvin!
Armani grabs ahold of Riot, drags him to his feet and drives an elbow into his jaw, staggering him. Decano kicks Riot in the midsection, grabs his head setting up the DDT and…
Joey LaDude - Northern Lights Suplex!
Victoria Elspeth - The perfect reversal from Rob Riot!
Riot rolls onto his front and pulls himself up onto his knees. Grabbing Decano’s head, Riot repeatedly drives a series of punches into the head of Armani Decano. Dan Chase immediately admonishes Riot for the illegal action and instructing him to stop. Riot pulls Decano to his feet, grabs his jaw, draws an arm back and unleashes a picture perfect Discus Punch. As Armani staggers away, Riot grabs his arm, plants his foot against Decano’s jaw and drops backwards against the mat.
Victoria Elspeth - Rob Riot with the Eat Defeat!
Joey LaDude - He hooks the leg!
Dan Chase is already on the mat about to count the pinfall, but as Mark Mitchell climbs onto the ring apron, Chase jumps back to his feet and is in position to stop him from entering the ring.
Victoria Elspeth - Dan Chase preventing outside interference from Mark Mitchell!
Joey LaDude - Riot does not look pleased at the lack of a count from the referee!
Victoria Elspeth - Better that than a two on one attack!
Mitchell is ordered back to the outside as Riot regains his feet. Armani makes it to his knees as Rob Riot goes off of the ropes. He hurtles back across the ring and throws himself at Decano executing a devastating Yakuza Kick. Riot grabs Decano’s legs pulling him up and attempting a Boston Crab. Decano fights against the submission, trying to resist the attempt to turn him over.
Joey LaDude - Riot going for a submission!
Decano grabs Riot’s boot, clawing and desperately trying to fight.
Victoria Elspeth - Armani Decano showing unquestionable willpower!
As Riot leans forward in an attempt to apply more pressure and force the turn, Decano lifts himself off of the mat, grabs ahold of Riot and rolls him up.
… One… Two… Kickout!
Victoria Elspeth - Rob Riot nearly falling victim to a roll up reversal from Armani Decano!
Joey LaDude - Riot and Decano back to their feet!
Decano immediately hits Riot and Riot returns in kind. The two men exchange punches… Decano, Riot, Decano, Riot, Decano… Decano… Decano… Decano runs back, comes off of the ropes and leaps into the air, slamming his feet into Riot’s chest and driving him into the mat with a midair double foot stomp. Decano rolls through, on to his feet and springs onto the top turnbuckle.
Victoria Elspeth - Armani Decano capturing lightning in a bottle here tonight!
Decano throws himself backwards and lands on Riot with a picture perfect moonsault. Decano immediately hooks Riots leg.
… One… Two… Kickout!
Joey LaDude - Kick out at two!
Decano immediately goes for a second pinfall attempt.
… One… Kickout!
Decano thumps the ring in pure frustration and yells at Dan Chase.
Victoria Elspeth - Armani not happy with the referee’s count!
Armani climbs back up to the top turnbuckle and leaps through the air as Riot gets back to his feet. Riot catches Armani midair and delivers a huge Alabama Slam, shaking the entire ring.
Joey LaDude - Whoa! Riot needs to be careful, that’s a brand-new ring! We need it to at least last until the end of our first show!!
Riot moves to the corner of the ring and starts rhythmically stomping his foot amping up the crowd.
Joey LaDude - Rob Riot tuning up the band!
As Decano gets slowly to his feet, Riot surges forward… and staggers as Mitchell grabs his foot and trips him. Riot momentarily turns toward Mitchell on the outside and Decano immediately capitalizes hitting Riot with a spinning back kick.
Victoria Elspeth - Mitchell again making his presence felt!
Decano climbs up on the second rope as Riot slowly gets to his feet. He leaps off of the ropes and hits the Blockbuster. Decano hooks Riots leg.
… One… Two… Kickout!
Victoria Elspeth - Riot unbelievably kicking out again!
Joey LaDude - He just isn’t ready to lay down!
Decano gets to his feet and yells at Dan Chase. As Riot climbs slowly to his feet, Decano comes off of the ropes and goes for the Axe Kick. Riot duck’s underneath Decano’s leg, comes up behind him and grabs Decano, pulling him up onto his shoulders. Riot drops almost breaking Decano in half.
Victoria Elspeth - Riot Rack!
Mitchell slides under the bottom rope in an attempt to interfere. Riot is back to his feet and hits Mark with a Superkick sending him soaring back over the top rope. Riot falls across Decano, hooking his leg and rolling him up.
… One… Two… Three!
DING! DING!! DING!!!
"I Feel You" by Depeche Mode hits and the crowd go wild.
Katie Evans - The winner, by pinfall… ROB RIOT!!!!!
Riot climbs to his feet, his arms held high in the air as the crowd wildly cheer.
Joey LaDude - Rob Riot with the victory here tonight!
Victoria Elspeth - Meaning he moves on to the second round of the Festival Of Fights!
Joey LaDude - I cant wait to find out who he will be facing in the second round!

Next Week Announcement
| | The crowd has subsided slightly and Riot’s music has come to an end as the cameras go back to the announce desk and Victoria Elspeth and Joey LaDude.
Victoria Elspeth – What a way to kick off our night in the ring! A fantastic match and congratulations once again to Rob Riot, who has advanced to round two! Armani Decano put in a valiant effort and could still see himself interjected into the GCW Championship picture if he can punch his ticket to the finals via the second chance match later tonight!
Joey LaDude – Not an enviable spot to be in, but one five other wrestlers will find themselves in before the night is out!
Victoria Elspeth – Now, as our financier mentioned; Global Championship Wrestling will continue with an all new episodic show starting with our next event…
Directing our attention upward, the Jumbo-Tron is emblazoned with a new image for a new time…
Victoria Elspeth – …Onslaught! Our original run saw us run on Octane…this time around we’re taking no prisoners! Let the Onslaught begin!
Joey LaDude – And if you think what we have in store for you tonight is crazy, wait until you take a trip down memory lane and turn left right onto…BadStreet!
‘The View’ erupts in cheer as the Onslaught image is replaced with one of the GCW BadStreet Championship!
A GCW Signature Championship known for allowing the champion to select the match stipulations for title defences, it was a much loved division by fans and roster members alike.
Victoria Elspeth – That’s right, the GCW BadStreet Championship is back and we’ve received word from David Sinclair that not only will we see the BadStreet title return, the very first episode of Onslaught will be centered around it!
Joey LaDude – The show will begin with what is being called, The BadStreet Scramble! A timed match where whomever holds the title via pinfall or submission when the clock runs out…becomes our new BadStreet Champion!
Victoria Elspeth – But that’s not all…
Joey LaDude – Of course not, why would it be?!
Victoria Elspeth – …once we have a BadStreet Champion. They will then need to display every bit of cunning, wit, guile and maybe even a little luck. Because they are still eligible to lose their championship at any point before Onslaught ends!
Once again, ‘The View’ abounds in cheer as the latest innovation of the new era of GCW promises to bring a chaos worthy of centering a show named Onslaught around it.
Joey LaDude – I can’t wait for Onslaught to debut on the XHF Network! Festival of Fights, Onslaught, the BadStreet Championship is returning…what more could you ask for?
Victoria Elspeth – how about our second match?! Up next, dangerous Russian grappler Vladimir Abukamov faces rookie luchador sensation Pequeno Dinosaurio as round one of the Festival of Fights, continues!

FOF '19 Round One Match
| |
Victoria Elspeth – And we’re moving along in round one! We’re about to find out who joins Rob Riot in Round Two of the Festival of Fights!
Joey LaDude – Absolutely Vicky…we’ve had so much to talk about already that it’s hard to believe this is only our second match of the night!
BOOM BOOM ACKA-LACKA LACKA BOOM!
BOOM BOOM ACKA-LACKA LACKA BOOM BOOM!!
Joey LaDude – What the hell was that?!
’Walk the Dinosaur’ by Was (not was) starts to play, fans, especially the children, begin clapping along to the silly, but infectious beat of the ‘one hit wonder’ song.
Victoria Elspeth – Come on Joey, Pequeño Dinosaurio is just having fun! He’s honouring his family’s lucha libre tradition and he’s just getting started in his career!
Katie Evans – Introducing first, from…the Jurassic Period…weighing in at one hundred and fifty five pounds….he is…Pequeño Dinosaurio!
Practically slithering through the curtain, Pequeño Dinosaurio receives a cheer from the Atlanta crowd.
Dark green scaled scaled boots lead to a slight fade as his tights approach his waist. His mask is reminiscent of his father’s dinosaur inspiration but just enough off to give him his own identity. He was the son of Tiranosaurio always, but thus far he had slowly begun to build a name for himself.
Joey LaDude – Exactly, just getting started…we’re about to find out if he can continue his evolution!
Victoria Elspeth – Bad joke aside, he’s lightning quick and his pterodactyl inspired gear isn’t just for show, this dinosaur flies!
Making his way to the ring, Pequeño Dinosaurio is giving out high fives and occasional plastic replicas of his mask, stopping for children before bounding over the top rope with ease to enter the ring!
Joey LaDude – I speak from experience Victoria…he needs to be careful. One wrong move…one wrong move and it’s all over.
As Pequeño Dinosaurio poses atop the turnbuckle, ‘Walk the Dinosaur’ stops and he jumps down to take his place in a far corner of the ring to await his opponent.
Victoria Elspeth – Joey, are you…
Victoria is interrupted as hard bass begins pumping throughout ‘The View’. XS Project’s ‘Водоворот Vodovorot’ is such a departure that the fans seem almost stunned to silence as Katie introduces us to ‘The Nerve Agent’.
Katie Evans – And his opponent, from Novosibirsk, Russia…weighing in at one hundred and ninety five pounds…’The Nerve Agent’…Vladimir Abukamov!!!!
Earning his jeers, steps through the curtain clad in a purple and black suit, the monocled Abukamov ignores the outstretched hands of The View’s patrons as though their touch would reduce him to their level.
Wiping his feet before getting into the ring, Abukamov slowly and methodically removes his entrance gear leaving his striped pants.
DING! DING!! DING!!!
Victoria Elspeth – Freddy Benson has drawn the assignment for this match and calls for the bell and this one gets underway!
Circling center ring both men paw at the air, testing the reaction time of the other.
Joey LaDude – Look at Vladimir Abukamov, he’s no rookie Victoria. Look at the way he moves, there’s something there.
Victoria Elspeth – I hate to admit this, but I agree Joey. Vladimir Abukamov has an air about him much larger than his 5’ 11” stature would normally command.
Joey LaDude – it doesn’t hurt that Dino dude is five foot nothing, one hundred and nothing. Sure he wrestles that lucha libre style but make no mistake, Dinosaurio is small even for a luchador.
Shooting in, Abukamov instantly has the back of Pequeño Dinosaurio, slamming his forehead into the backed the smaller man’s head before dragging the dazed luchador to the corner!
Victoria Elspeth – I was going to comment on the technical side of that shoot and transition to take Dinosaurio’s back, but that headbutt was nasty! He’s got a handful of his mask!
Joey LaDude – This is a downfall for luchadors outside Mexico…I promise you Vladimir Abukamov doesn’t give a damn about respect for the mask and tradition of lucha libre!
Slamming Pequeño Dinosaurio’s head into the turnbuckle repeatedly, the crowd is counting along!
Crowd – 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9! 10! 11! 12! 13! 14! 15! 16! 17!!!
Not stopping at ten, Freddy Benson seems to simply stare at the green masked head of Dinosaurio as it slams into the turnbuckle, time after time like a toddler might at some dribbling a basketball.
Victoria Elspeth – What the the hell is this?! Freddy has got to get in there!
Joey LaDude – It’s our return show, maybe the refs have been told to be a little lenient?
Glancing over his shoulder, Abukamov smiles before jamming a thumb to the eye of Pequeño Dinosaurio!
Victoria Elspeth – Ob come on! That was blatant! Listen to that crowd!
Booing from the front row to the balcony, the GCW fans voice their displeasure at the dirty, but effective, tactics of Vladimir Abukamov!
Joey LaDude – Ok, that was pretty bad…but still do what you get away with Vicky, that’s something only people who have been in there can understand! When you’re in there, don’t think you above considering it!
Victoria Elspeth – Ok, I get it, but there’s a ‘dog eat dog’ mentality…that was Freddy Benson simply not doing his bloody job!
Locking up a front face lock, Abukamov drops Pequeño Dinosaurio to the mat with a suplex. There is no semblance of attempting to end the match in any, way, shape or form. Abukamov simply drags Dinosaurio back to his feet.
Victoria Elspeth – This is disgusting! This isn’t a wrestling match so much as it’s a mugging! Plain and simple!
Joey LaDude – Maybe Victoria But right now Dinosaurio needs to do something to turn this around, and quick!
Victoria Elspeth – A forearm to the head of Dinosaurio and and Irish Whip…no!!
Using his speed as momentum, the rookie luchador ducks a decapitating clothesline attempt to springboard off the ropes and snap Abukamov face first to the canvas with a hurricanrana that brings the fans to their feet!
Victoria Elspeth – Springboard hurricanrana off the counter! The cover!
Joey LaDude – If he gets this, what a comeback!!!
Taking his sweet time, Freddy Benson counts…
... One... Two... Th-NO!
Not only does Vladimir kick out, he shoves the much smaller luchador clear away from him.
Joey LaDude – And this highlights Pequeño Dinosaurio’s biggest problem here as he begins his career!
Victoria Elspeth – I think I know what you mean but I want to hear you say it.
Joey LaDude – That size disadvantage. He’s going to have to keep finding ways to adjust for being the smaller man.
Both men enter a race to get to their feet, Pequeño Dinosaurio gets to his feet first greeting ‘The Nerve Agent’ with a series of stiff roundhouse kicks to the midsection of the larger man, dazing him as cheers erupt from the crowd.
Victoria Elspeth – Pequeño Dinosaurio letting loose with a series of kicks and second hurricanrana! Pequeño Dinosaurio is on the move!
Joey LaDude – I can’t believe this! Maybe the little man might have a chance after all!
Staying moving, Pequeño Dinosaurio shows off his agility, running up the turnbuckles to stand on the top rope, he’s instantly poised to strike like the prehistoric terror of the sky that adorns his mask!
Victoria Elspeth – He’s on the top rope! Let’s see what Pequeño Dinosaurio has up his sleeve!
Joey LaDude – I’ll admit, I can’t say his damn name, but he’s fun to watch…
Victoria Elspeth – Top rope hurricanrana! No!!!!
Using his size and strength advantage, Abukamov follows through with Pequeño Dinosaurio, slamming him almost through the mat with a vicious power bomb, holding on to slam him a second and then a third time before catching ahold of Pequeño Dinosaurio’s left leg, turning into it…
Joey LaDude – Oh shit! What a powerbomb! He’s folded him in half! A couple of times! I got it! He folded him in quarters!
Victoria Elspeth – Abukamov with a vicious double powerbomb counter straight into the stretch muffler! He calls this hold Phosgene Oxime! Vladimir Abukamov may have just snatched victory from the jaws of defeat! It’s locked in in the middle of the ring!
Benson is barely watching as Dinosaurio struggles against the hold as the Russian attempts to twist the leg off of his opponent.
Joey LaDude – This is hard to watch…Dinosaurio should just tap out and live to fight another day. You’re still young, you can get that one back!
Victoria Elspeth – Wow, this display of heart just isn’t worth it Joey, I agree! Freddy Benson should stop this if Pequeño Dinosaurio’s too proud to quit! Freddy Benson might be the worst referee I’ve ever seen and once seen Chris Parsons as a special referee!
Joey LaDude – Wow…
The crowd cheers attempting to will the soulful Dinosaur to the ropes. Scratching and clawing his way between screams of pain, the brightly coloured luchador has his heart on his sleeve!
Joey LaDude – …that insult to Parsons aside, this kid has nothing left to prove!
Continuing to claw his way toward relief, Dinosaurio draws a huge pop from the crowd as he reaches the ropes!
Victoria Elspeth – He did it! He got to the ropes! Abukamov has to the count of five to break the hold.
Joey LaDude – Only if Freddy actually starts counting!
Victoria Elspeth – Oh no!
Foreshadowing the worst, Freddy Benson doesn’t even feign a count attempt, allowing all the time in the world for ‘The Nerve Agent’ to pull the dinosaur inspired luchador back to the center of the ring and reapply the hold!
Victoria Elspeth – Vladimir Abukamov once again with the Phosgene Oxime! Pequeño Dinosaurio taps out!
DING! DING!! DING!!!
Vladimir Abukamov gets up, shaking out the cobwebs while ‘Водоворот Vodovorot’ by XS Project starts up again.
Katie Evans – The winner of this match…via submission…Vladimir Abukamov!!
Finally seeming to pay attention now that The match is over, Freddy raises Vladimir’s arm as a defeated Pequeño Dinosaurio rolls from the ring and is immediately checked by ringside medics.
Joey LaDude – That was tough to watch Victoria…
Victoria Elspeth – That was almost criminal on the part of Freddy Benson, what the hell was that!
Joey LaDude – …let’s just move on…Vladimir Abukamov moves on to Round Two…
Victoria Elspeth – That may be the fact of the matter but one absolutely has to wonder how differently this match could have gone had we had a competent referee assigned to it!
Staying quiet, Victoria senses her usually brash partner might need a minute.
Victoria Elspeth – Regardless, Vladimir Abukamov has now become the second man to advance in this tournament! With Pequeño Dinosaurio’s now only existing within the second chance match prior to our special PWE Tribute match! We got lots more to come folks! Here at the Festival of Fights 2019!

FOF '19 Round One Match
| |
Katie Evans – The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is part of the Festival of Fights Tournament! The arena sits in complete silence for a good 30 seconds, before Nightshade erupts onto the stage. No music, no fancy lights, he just begins stomping his way down the ramp, towards the ring.
Katie Evans – In-... Introducing first... Weighing in at 220 lbs! NIGHTSHADE!
Victoria Elspeth – Well, that's certainly an... Interesting entrance.
Joey La Dude – Interesting is an understatement Vick. This is downright FASCINATING.
After a few moments, Nightshade finally reaches the ring, rolling in under the bottom rope. Without missing a beat, he springs to his feet and begins stomping in circles around the ring, as “I Hope you Suffer” by AFI begins playing over the loud speakers, causing the fans to erupt into cheers.
Katie Evans – And his opponent! He hails from Lexington, Kentucky! Weighing in at 195 Pounds! SAAAALEMMM MOOOOORRRRNIINNNGGGSTARRRR!
The crowd erupts as Salem steps out from behind the curtain, and makes his way down the ramp way. About halfway down, he stops for a moment, taking in all the cheers, and the atmosphere.
Victoria Elspeth – Well, it certainly looks like Salem is happy to be back here in GCW after all these years!
Joey LaDude – Can you blame him?! I'm happy to be here, and I can't even step into the ring! He must be on cloud 9 right now!
As Salem makes his way to the ring, he takes another moment to stop and observe his opponent, who has not once stopped stomping around in circles inside of the ring. After a few moments of taking in the scene in front of him, Salem rolls under the bottom rope and gets into his corner.
Victory Elspeth – It doesn't look like Salem really knows what to make of Nightshade.
Joey LaDude – Of course he doesn't! I don't even know what to make of him, and that's my job!
After a few moments of referee Dan Chase checking out both competitors, he calls for the bell.
DING! DING!! DING!!!
The second the bell rings, Nightshade finally stops pacing in circles, and charges Salem, flying at him with a drop kick. Salem drops like a sack of bricks as Nightshade goes for the quick cover.
… One… Two… Three!!!!
NO! The referee calls off the pin as he catches Salem's foot on the bottom rope. Nightshade slams his hands on the mat, angrily, before hoisting the still dazed Salem to his feet.
Victoria Elspeth – I thought we were gonna have a hell of an upset victory right there!
Joey LaDude – That's why you'll never be as good at this as I am, Vicky. It was OBVIOUS Salem was going to get his foot on the bottom rope. But don't worry, you can't be expected to see such nuances like I can.
Victoria Elspeth – Pleasure to be back and working with you again Joey...
Once up to their feet, Nightshade lifts Salem into a fallaway slam position. Before he has a chance to throw Salem though, Salem manages to wiggle out of Nightshade's grip, landing on his feet, causing a pop from the crowd. He then quickly motions a gun pressed against his head with two fingers, and pulls the trigger, before blasting Nightshade with a spinning back fist.
Victoria Elspeth – Looks like Nightshade isn't the only one looking to wrap things up quickly! Salem is looking for the double tap!
Joey LaDude – When you get rocked like Salem did in the opening of this match, you become determined to return the favour!
Salem goes to follow up with his signature super kick as Nightshade stumbles back. However Nightshade grabs Salem's foot with one hand, and menaces over the much smaller Salem, before using his other hand to grab Salem by the throat, hoisting him into the air, and slamming him down with a chokeslam.
Victoria Elspeth – And Nightshade with a massive chokeslame onto Salem! Salem looks like he may be out of it!
Nightshade lifts Salem back to his feet once more, before Salem gets hoisted onto the shoulder of Nightshade. With Salem on his shoulder, he makes his way over to the turnbuckle, and begins climbing to the top rope.
Victoria Elspeth – Wait, what is he doing? He might seriously injure Salem with this! Someone stop him!
Joey LaDude – Oh no, you may be right Vicky. It's looking like Nightshade is getting ready to take out the trash!
As Nightshade reaches the top turnbuckle, Salem suddenly seems to wake up, and begins kicking wildly to escape. Nightshade however isn't budging, maintaining his grip as he prepares to jump. Salem kicks his legs in desperation and manages to knee Nightshade in the head, causing both men to fall back into the ring.
Joey LaDude - Salem saved himself, but just barely!
Victoria Elspeth – Both men are down, whoever gets to his feet first will take the advantage!
Salem pulls himself up using the ropes, as he turns... Nightshade is already standing. He scoops Salem up, turns him over and dives him head first into the mat with a brutal Tombstone Piledriver.
Joey LaDude - Tombstone!!!
Victoria Elspeth - Nightshade is going for the pin!
… One… Two… Three!!!!
DING! DING!! DING!!!
Katie Evans – Here is your winner, by Pinfall... NIIIIGHTSHAAADE!!!
Joey LaDude – What?! How did he manage that?!
Victoria Elspeth – Somehow Nightshade made it to his feet and took Salem by surprise!
The fans erupt into boos as Salem stirs in the ring. As he does so, Nightshade slowly rolls out of the ring, catching his breath. After a few moments, he explodes, letting out a primal roar, as he begins stomping up the ramp with Righteous Fury!
Victoria Elspeth – Well, I guess that isn't the last we've seen of Nightshade here tonight!
Joey LaDude – You mean we get to see that fascinating entrance again?? GCW really is the most magical place in wrestling!
Victoria Elspeth – The Festival of Fights continues next when Aaron Chandler takes on Tarrasque!

FOF '19 Round One Match
| | Katie Evans – The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is part of the Festival of Fights Tournament!
“Death of a Bachelor Piano Instrumental” by Panic at the Disco begins playing over the sound system, as Aaron Chandler begins making his way down the ramp way.
Katie Evans – Introducing first! He hails from Atlanta Georiga! Weighing in at 240 Pounds! He is “The Essence of Arrogance”, AAAAROOONNNN CHAAAAANDLEEERRRR!!!
Victoria Elspeth – Aaron Chandler is a new face here in GCW. I had a hard time finding much info about him though, as it seems he's been out of the game a while.
Joey LaDude – Well, he better hope he wears off the ring rust fast! His opponent tonight is no joke!
Aaron finally makes it down to the ring, before sparing a quick glance at the audience around him. It's clear he's taken aback a bit by the scale of The View. Before he can soak it in too long though, his music cuts off, drawin his attention to the entrance way. After a few moments, Tarrasque slowly steps out from behind the curtain, and makes his way down the ramp.
Katie Evans – And his opponent! From Parts Unknown, he weighs in at 375 POUNDS! TARRASQUE!
Joe LaDude – As I was saying, I hope Aaron gets rid of his Ring Rust sooner than later! I've kept my eye on this monster for years, and he's unlike anything I've ever seen before. 6'7”, and 375 pounds of pure, unstoppable muscle and power!
Victoria Elspeth – This guy is huge! I wouldn't be surprised if he went on to win the whole thing!
Tarrasque wastes no time getting inside the ring as he reaches the bottom of the ramp. He gives a dead stare towards Aaron, as he goes into his corner, and leans against the turnbuckles. A nervous smile spreads across the face of Aaron, as he gets geared up in his corner. After a few seconds of tension building, referee Barry Andrews calls for the bell.
DING! DING!! DING!!!
Aaron shoots out of his corner like a rocket. He clotheslines Tarrasque into the corner, before he has a chance to regain his vertical base, and then ferociously begins delivering lefts and rights to The Beast's mid section.
Victoria Elspeth – Aaron Chandler bringing the fight to Tarrasque! He almost seemed excited for the bell to ring!
Joey LaDude – I'm not surprised. I did a bit of digging on him myself Vicky, and it turns out this guy is the son of Sean Chandler. Wrestling's in his blood, so he was probably raring to show us all what he could do.
Tarrasque barely blocks any of the punches to his midsection, recoiling slightly with each hit, but the expression on his face never changes. After a few seconds of the relentless onslaught, Aaron grabs Tarrasque's arm, and attempts to irish whip him across the ring. Tarrasque however doesn't move, as he stares down Aaron. Undeterred, Aaron tries one more time, really digging his feet into the ground this time. Again, Tarrasque doesn't budge, but this time, he can noticeably be seen applying a vice like grip to Aaron's forearm.
Victoria Elspeth – Oh god, look at the strength of this guy! Tarrasque didn't budge an inch!
Joey LaDude – Not only that, but it looks like he's not gonna let Aaron run away from this mistake!
A look of surprise shoots across Chandler's face as he sees Tarrasque's grip on his arm tighten. He tries to pull away once, before Tarrasque yanks Aaron towards himself, and plants the Essence of Arrogance to the crowd with a jaw numbing clothesline. Not wasting any time, Tarrasque hoists Aaron back up to his feet by his arm, and pulls him forward again, planting him with another Clothesline. As he hoists Aaron up one more time, he effortlessly lifts Aaron up into a Powerbomb Clutch, before planting him down in the center of the ring, holding him down for the pin.
... One... Two... KICK OUT!
Aaron kicks out at 2, and quickly rolls his way to the outside, collapsing to the floor as he gets there.
Victoria Elspeth – Aaron displaying some good ring awareness here to catch his breath!
Joey LaDude – I'm not sure he's as safe as he thinks he is out there Vicky. He better catch his breath quick!
Victoria Elspeth – What do you mean?
After a few moments, Aaron chandler finally pulls his way up to his feet, and shakes a few of the cobwebs out. This happens just in time for him to look up, and see 375 pounds of pure muscle sailing over the top rope, landing directly on him, sending him crashing back down to the floor. A “Holy Shit” chant begins echoing through the arena, as Tarrasque quickly regains a vertical base, picking up Chandler with him, tossing him effortlessly back into the ring.
Joey LaDude – This Beast Flies, Vick! Nowhere in this arena is safe!
Tarrasque rolls under the bottom rope, and begins climbing to his feet. As he reaches a half vertical base though, he gets greeted with a stiff knee to the side of the head! Aaron also collapses down to the ground, clearly still not all there after being hit in the head with a 375 pound meat sack. He scrambles back to his feet quickly though, and tries taking advantage of the momentary stunning of the beast. He desperately begins delivering Knees to the face of Tarrasque. 1..2...3 As he reaches 4, the arena begins counting with the kicks. 5...6...7...8...9... Before the 10th, Tarrasque palms Aaron's knee with one hand and attempts to use the other to shove Aaron away. Aaron doesn't miss a beat however, as he pulls his knee away, and then seamlessly transitions to Tarrasque's back, locking in a sleeper hold on the monster!
Victoria Elspeth – Aaron with a great display of skill on top of his rather savage beat em' up style!
Joey LaDude – He may actually get out of this match alive at this rate!
With the sleeper locked in, Tarrasque stumbles around the ring a bit, clearly unsure of how to get Aaron off of his back. Before too long, he finally back pedals hard into a corner, causing Aaron's grip to loosen. Then in an instant, he grabs Aaron by his neck, and tosses him across the ring. Aaron quickly gets back up to his feet, as Tarrasque charges towards him! Tarrasque leaps forward, going for a spear! But Aaron Chandler leaps into the air, and plants Tarrasque down in the center of the ring with a Pedigree! He goes for the pin!
... One... Two... Thr-NO!!
Tarrasque kicks out, as Aaron collapses, lifelessly onto the mat. A dead stare fills his eyes, as he looks defeatedly off into the distance.
Joey LaDude – Oh no... I think that's it. Look at Aaron's eyes. He's got nothing left.
Victoria Elspeth – Tarrasque just kicked out of the Pedigree like it was nothing! Oh no, he's getting back up to his feet!
Tarrasque slowly rises to his feet, shaking the cobwebs out, before turning his attention to Aaron. He lifts the man up, before hoisting him into a Powerbomb position once again! This time though, he runs forward, and tosses Chandler's body into a turnbuckle! Tarrasque then runs to the ropes, springing off them as Aaron stumbles forward from the recoil of the turnbuckle, and lays the young man out in the center of the ring with a massive spear in the center of the ring, before going for the pin.
... One... Two... Three!!
Katies Evans – Here is your winner! “The Beast” TARRRAAASSSSQUE!!!!
Joey LaDude – Holy shit! We need to get some help out here for Aaron! He might actually be broken in half!
Victoria Elspeth – A great showing from Aaron here tonight, but it clearly wasn't enough to beat the Beast here tonight! What a terrifying human being!
Without even letting the referee raise his hand, Tarrasque rolls under the bottom rope, and makes his way up the ramp. Referees and doctors run past him to go and check on Aaron in the ring. As Tarrasque walks through the curtain at the top of the ramp, the show fades out to black.

Talkin' Crude - Round One, Round Up! |
| Victoria Elspeth – And with that, round one is over!
Joey LaDude – What a great way to open the tournament and kick things back off here in GCW!
?.? – Hey! Assholes! What the hell do you think you’re doing?!
On the Jumbo-Tron we see the hard-set face of Adrian Styles. His wild, rolling eyes masked behind a pair of orange tinted aviators, his mouth smacking wildly as he repeatedly licks his lips. He is sat on a chair in front of the plate glass window overlooking the arena below.
Adrian Styles – Check the running order, fuckers! Round One, done? Time for Talkin’ Crude with Styles and…
Adrian styles looks behind him at the “Talkin’ Crude” sign, which still reads “Talkin’ Crude With Styles and LaDude”
Adrian Styles – Well, would ya look at that?! Aren’t you supposed to be up here with me, fuck face? I hope you aren’t expecting your share of the royalties this week - Any merch sold is mine! If you’re not willing to put in the work, you’re not getting your cut! You hear me?!
Joey LaDude – Sure Adrian, whatever you say man. Just keep calm and try to remember we’re live, ok?
Adrian Styles – Hey! You don’t need to remind me! I’m a consonant professional!
Victoria Elspeth – Do you mean consummate?
Adrian Styles – Thought you’d never ask! I’ll consummate with you anywhere, any when – You filthy little leprechaun! I’m relieved to see the past four years have been good to you, Vicky. I was worried you’d let yourself go! Tell ya what, after the show why don’t you come on up to the Nest and I’ll give you a solid four of my own!
Victoria Elspeth – Urgh… Adrian, would you just get your tournament round up out of the way so we can get on with the show?
Adrian Styles – Sure thing sweet cheeks! Ok, listen up fuckers! Incase you’ve not been paying attention; we’ve just finished round one of the Festival of Fights! Round one consisted of four matches between eight men and they were all kicking the shit out of one another. HA!
Adrian laughs wildly.
Adrian Styles – First up was Rob Riot against Armani Decano. Now, I don’t know much about Decano but that doesn’t matter because he fucking lost! Riot beat the shit out of him, beat the shit out of the idiot he brought to the ring with him and he moves on to round two!
Adrian pulls his jacket open and takes a packet of cigarettes from the inside pocket.
Adrian Styles – Next we had Vladimir Ab-u-ka-mov taking on P… Pe…. Pu… Some fucking idiot in a dinosaur costume. Now, I’ll admit I wasn’t expecting much from the wannabe teenage mutant ninja homo, but that little asshole could take the kind of punishment you don’t normally see outside of a New Jersey crack house!
Styles removes a cigarette from the packet, places one in his mouth, lights it and inhales deeply.
Adrian Styles – Eventually Vald got the job done and put the little guy out of his misery and that’s a real shame because I could have watched him get his ass kicked all night!
Styles coughs, finally letting the smoke out and nearly choking himself in the process. Angrily he gets out of his seat and throws the cigarette across the room.
Adrian Styles – Then we came to the ‘upset of the night’ Nightmare taking on Salem Morningstar! Now, the only thing upsetting for me was watching this idiot try not to smudge his makeup! What the hell was he so angry for? It’s like he’s trying to steal my job! HEY ASSHOLE!
Styles grabs an aluminum bat that was previously out of shot and hoists it up, pointing toward the camera.
Adrian Styles – I HAVE THIS SHIT COPYRIGHTED!
Styles hits the chair beside his, toppling it and then throws the bat down onto the ground. Shaking his head, he turns back to the camera.
Adrian Styles – Finally, Aaron Chandler took on Tarrasque and OH FUCK he’s one monster mother fucker! Did you see the size of that asshole? Unsurprisingly he FUCKED CHANDLER UP! That guy was crazy just to get into the same ring as this big son of a bitch!
Adrian Styles retakes his seat.
Adrian Styles – In the next round we’re going to see Rob Riot take on the Russian Terminator in a match that should be fucking awesome! And then we get to watch Godzilla see if he can shove Marilyn Manson’s head up his ass! Personally, I can’t wait! Back to you queers!
We cut back to a dismayed looking Victoria Elspeth and Joey LaDude at ring side. Vicky is shaking her head in shock as the feed returns, obviously having expected to have a moment or two longer to compose herself.
Victoria Elspeth – Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d like to apologize for the behavior and language in the preceding section of the show. I assure you; Adrian Styles does not represent the thoughts or feelings of anyone else within the GCW and we are sorry for any offence caused!
Joey LaDude – As mentioned by Adrian, next up we will see Rob Riot taking on Vladimir Abukamov in what could be the closest match of the tournament! Over to Katie Evans in the ring!

FOF '19 Round Two Match
| |
Katie Evans – The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is a second round match within the Festival of Fights Tournament!
"I Feel You" by Depeche Mode blasts over the sound system and the crowd cheer loudly for the Riot Star!
Katie Evans – First, on his way to the ring, from Manchester, England…. Rob Riot!
Riot makes his way out onto the stage. Despite having already wrestled once tonight, he looks fresh and ready to go. As the crowd cheers and chants for the British born GCW Legend, he smirks and makes his way toward the ring.
Joey LaDude – Riot looks completely focused and ready for this match!
Victoria Elspeth – He has already been through one match tonight and so has his opponent. Either men could be feeling the effects of the grueling schedule. Tonight may well come down to endurance over skill and if that’s the case Vladimir is even more dangerous that we’ve previously given him credit for – With his military background he is well suited for these conditions!
Riot reaches the ring and ascends the steps to the apron. Katie moves off to the corner as Riot climbs into the ring and holds his arm aloft, enjoying the warm reaction from the crowd as his music fades out.
Joey LaDude – I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a GCW crowd cheer for Rob Riot! I wonder how long he can ride this wave of popularity.
Katie Evans – Now, on his way to the ring… from Novosibirsk, Russia, The Nerve Agent… Vladimir Abukamov!!!!!
XS Project Водоворот Vodovorot hits and the crowd boo loudly as the brutal Russian technician limps out onto the stage.
Victoria Elspeth – The crowd letting Abukamov know just how they feel about him after his brutal treatment of Pequeno Dinosaurio earlier on tonight!
Joey LaDude – Abukamov doesn’t seem to phased by it… in fact I’d say he is embracing the hostility!
The grin on Vladimir’s face is undeniable as he makes his way slowly down the ramp, the crowd booing and hissing with each step he takes. Once he arrives at the ring, Dan Chase has already finished reading the rules to Rob Riot and dutifully holds the ropes to help Vlad climb into the ring. As the music fades, Chase is speaking with Vlad candidly, ensuring he is aware of the rules and can clearly be seen telling him to ‘keep it clean’.
Victoria Elspeth – Dan Chase making sure Vlad is under no illusions here tonight – He will not allow a repeat of the round one match against Dinosaurio.
Joey LaDude – Freddy Benson allowed that to go way too far! I’m surprised Vlad wasn’t thrown out of the tournament!
Victoria Elspeth – I imagine if there had been anyone here to take his place that is exactly what would have happened!
Joey LaDude – Looks like everyone is ready, Dan Chase just called for the bell!
DING! DING!! DING!!!
Riot bolts at the sound of the bell, lunging for Abukamov, but the Nerve Agent is ready for the sudden advance taking Riot down with a spinning toe hold. Abukamov seizes Riots right leg, pushes his foot into the back of his knee and throws himself forward, spinning through the air and landing in front of Riots head. The speed and force exerted folds Riots spine almost in two and devastates his leg as the bone threatens to break. Riot rolls on to his side yelling in pain as Abukamov is on to his front and he grabs Riot’s face, raking his eyes. Dan Chase immediately admonishes Abukamov.
Victoria Elspeth – Vladimir already being read the riot act by Dan Chase!
Joey LaDude – That lightning quick assault from Abukamov was perfectly executed! He didn’t need to bend the rules, not after nearly breaking Riots damn leg! He did it because he wanted too!
Abukamov smirks through his chiding, then moves back to press his advantage. Riot is up to his feet, but doubled over and avoiding putting pressure on the right leg and holding onto the ropes for support. Abukamov grabs Riot’s head and locks his arm around the neck cinching in a blatant headlock choke. Dan Chase starts a count and Abukamov kicks Riot hard in the right leg, just above the knee. He uses Dan’s count as a marker, kicking with every call
… One!
… Two!
… Three!
Dan Chase has seen enough and pushes himself between the two men, breaking the illegal choke and stopping the kicks.
Victoria Elspeth – Vladimir STILL trying to get away with breaking the rules!
Joey LaDude – Dan Chase is warning him again, but Abukamov seems to be embracing the controversy!
Vladimir smirks, clearly enjoying pushing the buttons of the straight lace referee. Riot takes a knee, coughing and trying to catch his breath as The Nerve Agent throws himself back against the ropes and springs the short distance, driving a knee into Riot’s head.
Joey LaDude – Riot folded in half off of the back of that impact!
Victoria Elspeth – He is in real trouble if he doesn’t manage to mount some offence here soon!
Vladimir grabs Riots legs locking them under his arms and tries to turn him over to apply the Liontamer.
Victoria Elspeth – Abukamov going for a submission move!
Joey LaDude – Riot is refusing to be turned over!
Riot struggles, rolling his shoulders this way and that as he resists Vladimir’s attempts to roll him onto his front all the while being careful to ensure his shoulders don’t both remain on the mat long enough to risk a pin attempt. Abukamov, frustrated at Riot’s resilience suddenly releases the left leg and drops to his back, wrenching Riot’s left legg and DDTing it into the mat. Riot again calls out in pain. Abukamov slides himself away from Riot and then wildly starts stomping and kicking at Riot’s left boot, all the while in a seated position. Riot rolls away and to the outside in desperation.
Joey LaDude – Riot heading to the outside to recompose himself!
Victoria Elspeth – Abukamov seems to have lured Riot into a false sense of confidence with that lame duck routine as he limped his way to the ring, and now he is finding out the hard way how dangerous Vladimir truly is!
Vladimir goes to the outside around the other side of the ring. Dan Chase immediately starts a count, going slow enough to allow the men to return the ring and not rob the baying crowd of their entertainment for the evening.
ONE
Vladimir has intelligently come out behind Riot and rounds the ring with surprising quickness.
TWO
Riot is holding the apron and testing the leg for its ability to hold his weight. Vlad leaps and drives his shoulder into Riots injured leg, causing him to crumple on the outside.
THREE
Victoria Elspeth – Riot may need to call it a day before lasting damage is done here tonight!
FOUR
Vladimir pulls Riot to his feet and positions himself behind him. Wrapping Rots arm over his shoulders and his arms around Riots waist, Vlad lifts Riot in a belly-to-back suplex…
FIVE
And throws himself and Riot forward sending Rob crashing into the steel steps in a seated position, his legs taking the entirety of the bump. Riot’s broken body rolls down the steps to the mat as a ‘Holy Shit’ chant starts up around the arena.
SIX
Victoria Elspeth – OH MY GOD!
Vladimir nods in satisfaction and rolls himself back into the ring.
Joey LaDude – Riot was just broken in half on those steel steps!
SEVEN
As he climbs to his feet, the crowd cheer… a look of confusion washes over the face of The Nerve Agent as he turns toward the outside…. Where Rob Riot has somehow regained his feet.
Victoria Elspeth – Rob Riot is SOMEHOW back on his feet!
EIGHT
Riot moves toward the ring. Vladimir knows he is going to beat the count and moves to the ropes to stop him, quickly sliding back to the outside. Riot springs forward, driving himself into Vlad’s midsection and spearing him into the ring apron. The crowd explode in a frenzied cheer as the sickening thud cuts through the arena and Abukamov crumples to the arena floor.
ONE
Victoria Elspeth – YES!
Joey LaDude – Sheer desperation driving Riot at this moment as he breaks Vladimir in half using the ring itself as a weapon!
TWO
Riot gets back to his feet and slowly pulls his opponent up.
THREE
He lifts Vladimir onto his shoulders and with vicious intent drives him into the steel steps with an Alabama Slam. The hollow clang of flesh and bone on steel echoes around the arena as again the ‘Holy Shit’ chant starts up.
FOUR
Joey LaDude – DID YOU SEE THAT?!
Victoria Elspeth – Riot getting a measure of revenge!
Joey LaDude – Revenge?! He tried to kill Abukamov!
FIVE
The replay shows Riot staggering slightly on his busted leg, allowing Vladimir to turn and land slightly on his left side absorbing some of the impact.
SIX
Victoria Elspeth – Had Riot’s leg not have buckled during that move, things could have gone very wrong!
Riot is pulling himself back up using the apron as Vlad, on the other side of the steps, crawls toward the ring. Riot reaches up, grabbing the ropes and stars to climb.
SEVEN
Riot cautiously gets his knee onto the apron and starts to pull himself through the ropes when, to his horror, he see’s Vlad’s hand slap against the apron as his twisted, evil, yet still smirking face appears from below the ring.
Victoria Elspeth – ABUKAMOV IS UP! HOW IS HE UP?!
EIGHT
Vlad pulls himself to a standing position as Riot falls the rest of the way through the ropes.
NINE
Vlad pulls himself into the ring.
Victoria Elspeth – Somehow BOTH men have beaten the count!
Joey LaDude – I don’t believe it!
Riot is back to his feet before Abukamov, but The Nerve Agent is to his knees. Riot kicks him in the chest and he falls back into the corner. Riot leans his weight against Abukamov and starts desperately raining punches down on his cornered opponent.
ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!
Riot pulls Vladimir to his feet and Irish Whips him across the ring. As Abukamov bounces off of the turnbuckle on the far side, Riot rushes forward and… collapses under his own weight, dropping to the mat and clutching his leg.
Joey LaDude – Riot failing to get the Superkick!
Vladimir staggers, laughing as his opponent struggles trying to get back to his feet. Blood runs from Abukamov’s mouth and he absent mindedly wipes it on the back of his hand. He rushes forward, plants a foot on Riots leg and drives a knee into his head.
Joey LaDude – Abukamov with the Shining Wizard!
Vladimir suddenly moves with lightning speed. He grabs Riots arm, twisting it behind his back and locking in the Kimura with his legs.
Victoria Elspeth – Oh God! Not this!
Riot immediately starts struggling to get free, but it is too late. Vlad grabs Riots free hand and starts stomping on his head. Dan Chase is already asking Riot if he wants to submit, but Vlad doesn’t wait for the answer and he cinches in the Fujiwara Armbar, completing the hold.
Joey LaDude – VX Armbar-Lock! It’s OVER!
Victoria Elspeth – Submit Riot! Submit!
Riot is screaming in pain, his legs flailing as he tries to do something! Anything!
Victoria Elspeth – Just ring the damned bell!
Riot’s leg is thrown forward. Once. Twice. Dan is about to call for the bell thinking Riot is submitting when… He throws it against the bottom rope. The leg falls to the mat and Riot forces himself to roll, tightening the lock and causing more pain but he is able to push his leg under the bottom rope.
Joey LaDude – RIOT STILL FIGHTING! Somehow, he is still in this!
Dan Chase demands that Vlad break the hold and he immediately starts a count.
ONE
Vladimir ignores the referee, tightening the hold and wrenching the arm.
TWO
Riot is still screaming.
THREE
Vladimir is screaming in frustration as a resounding chorus of boos shake the building.
FOUR
Dan Chase throws himself on top of Vladimir, calling for the bell as he does so.
DING! DING!! DING!!!
Vlad keeps the hold locked in, despite the desperate attempts of Dan Chase to pull him off. Riot has now fallen ominously quiet. Finally, Chase manages to pull Vladimir off of Rob Riot and the two men fall to the mat with Vladimir laughing hysterically.
Joey LaDude – What the hell did we just see?!
Riot is laying on his side, his eyes rolling in his head as he seems to be trying to sit up.
Victoria Elspeth – Did Riot pass out?!
Joey LaDude – Who would blame him if he had?!
A stream of EMT’s and Road Agents hit the ring behind Barry Andrews. Chase and Vladimir roll off of one another as an irate Dan Chase yells in frustration at the Russian. Riot rolls awkwardly out of the ring onto the apron. The EMT’s are trying to prevent Riot from moving, trying to check him over to ascertain the damage done.
Victoria Elspeth – Dan Chase is ordering Abukamov out of the ring!
Joey LaDude – And the EMT’s are trying to make Riot stay!
Chase comes to the ropes, leans over and speaks to Katie. Finally, she calls over the microphone.
Katie Evans – The winner of this match….. By disqualification! ROB RIOT!
The crowd’s boos turn to cheers as the now despised Vladimir Abukamov makes his way up the ramp toward the back, smiling as he goes.
Victoria Elspeth – Rob Riot is the first man into the finals… But I have no idea if he will be able to continue!

World Tour |
| Joey LaDude - Well, if he is unable to continue tonight, perhaps some willing to take his spot! The Festival Of Fights has brought out some of the best in all of Wrestling. We’re seeing some top contenders, but GCW is already attracting additional talent we won’t see scheduled tonight.
Victoria Elspeth - You're right Joey. We've already seen Derren Archer here tonight enjoying the pay per view, and now I believe we’re going to see some footage from just a few hours ago, just as the doors of the Gate City View were opening to our fans.
A small platform has been erected at the Smart Mark, near the box office, as fans begin to stream in. An older man, swathed in an outrageously dated polyester suit barks gruffly into a lone microphone, employing a faux-regality that fools very few.
Duke Rogers - Ladies and gentlemen of the esteemed South – citizens of Atlanta and beyond… My name is Duke Rogers. My associate and I just want to take up a moment of your time. If you got here early enough, you may have seen us arrive. Please, don’t be afraid of our Pennsylvania license plates – we came down here to make pals, see? A few weeks ago, we embarked on a prestigious World Tour meant to showcase and capitalize on my client’s great prowess. He’s no stranger to the road, and many of you may recognize him. We started out in Philly – we hit New York, up to Canada, back to the Jersey Shore. When we heard about what’s happening here in Global, we came South to you. We slogged down the highway. We hit Atlanta and we headed for the lousy part of town – because we knew we’d find you here. No, no. You don’t have to be ashamed, friends. You don’t need to get self-conscious, just ‘cause a couple a’ sophisticated, Northern-educated world-travelers came South to mingle with a buncha you hicks. No. There’s hope for you yet. I present to you, a True Champion and a role model for you fine folks hee-ya down in Jaw-ja…
Rogers chomps on his cigar and claps his hands heartily while his client approaches the mic. A large, rather hulking bald man with a wild mustache. He wears black jeans stuffed into leather boots, his button shirt completely open in the August heat.
Duke Rogers - Rock Stone! Rock Stone, folks.
The few in attendance who recognize him voice their opinions and many others are happy to follow suit. Stone snatches the mic, stand and all, among noticeable jeers and catcalls. He growls into the mic, holding it very close and barking over the crowd as they jam up the area.
Rock Stone - I want to make one thing perfectly clear. I’m not some f*ckin’ nobody doing backflips in his third match, fella – and this polite golf clapping ain’t gonna cut it from now on. This is it, pal. Rock Stone is the real McCoy, an’ you guys’ll learn to respect me. I know I deserve a King’s welcome, but I don’t take it personal. I know that word gets around real slow in this part of the country. I’ve fought – big matches, see? – in Atlanta dozens of times. You guys can see that I’m a man of the people. I’m even allowin’ myself to be photographed standin’ near you. You better believe this is a huge sacrifice for me, and I wish yous would be a little more appreciative. I’m here…
Stone swings an open palm around him to ensure a clear path. He drags the mic-stand along with him as he paces the length of the wire.
Rock Stone - …and you better believe I’m here with my eyes open. I wanna see what kinda competition calls GCW home - the kinda guys that think they’re good enough for the Gold. This is a young company, an’ this is the best they got. You better believe I’m takin’ a good look while I’m here. I wanna see these guys. I wanna see their best. With the stakes so high, I know I’ll be seein’ their True Colors. I’ll be seein’ who’s worthy of Gold, an’ who’s jus’ plain Yella! I aim to know these fellas good, real personal…
Stone winks and Rogers cackles behind him, keeping his foul cigar out of reach from security.
Rock Stone - … ‘cause soon enough – when the dust from this Festival of Fights has settled – they’re gonna be up at night thinkin’ about me. They’re gonna start seein’ their name on the card across from mine, an’ they’re be losin’ sleep. In yer Motel Six twin bed before the match, and in yer Hospital Bed after. Yer gonna be thinkin’ about Rock Stone, baby. We’re gonna be real good friends. You see……I sent a lotta men flat on their back for months at a time – I’ve dealt a lotta men the last blow of their careers. I got good at it – but I never get used to it. I haven’t lost the thrill of hurting a man. When I got ‘im, and I can see it in his eyes. When I see a broken body, bloated and lifeless, hauled back up the isle on a stretcher… it still means something to me. I’ve forgotten most of their names, an’ I’ll forget plenty more – but it’s all very personal for me...
The crowd shows a mild revulsion to this particular brand of tough-talk. Stone waves his finger around the room, lunging his hulking frame at anyone near enough.
Rock Stone - I plan to spend some quality time with the people here in the crummy part of Atlanta. I wanna get to know them real good. Me and my esteemed associate here – we got a van outside that’ll take us a lot of places on this tour. But, damnit – I got a feelin’ that every coupla weeks… it’s gonna take us back to Atlanta. We’re gonna get to know each other, and you’ll be seein’ plenty of us...
Rock Stone holds his hand up, rigidly curled into the sign of The Claw. He brings it down slowly, nodding his head while Rogers retrieves the microphone and brings it back to the platform. He flashes a thirty-dollar smile and grabs his lapels.
Duke Rogers - Wise words. True words, ladies & gentlemen. Now…
Stone waves his Claw hand at anyone in his path while marching to the backstage area. Rogers steps down from the platform to hawk his wares up close and personal. He motions to several large cardboard boxes and flips the lids open to reveal T-Shirts, key chains, and other assorted merch. The scene fades back to ringside.

FOF '19 Round Two Match
| |
We cut back to the ring with Tarrasque and Nightshade both already there. As they both wait in their corners, Katies Evans begins ring introductions.
Katie Evans – The following match is scheduled for one fall, and is a second round match of the Festival of Fights Tournament! Introducing First, from Parts Unknown, he weighs in at 375 Pounds! TARRAAASSSQQUUUEEE
A mix of boos and cheers bespeckle the crowd, as they're clearly not sure if they're entertained by Tarrasque's brute force, or disgusted by his savagery. Tarrasque pays them no m ind however, as he seems lost in his own thoughts in the ring.
Katie Evans – And his opponent. Weighing in at 220 pounds! NIIIIGHTSHAAADE!
Victoria Elspeth – I'm really not sure how this match is gonna go! Both of these men had fairly impressive showings in the first round of this tournament!
Joey LaDude – Well, I think we can all agree that the most fascinating part about this, is that neither Tarrasque, nor Nightshade have any real entrances to speak of! The real question is who is going to brood harder here?!
The bell rings, signifying the start of the match, and this time it's Tarrasque who charges out of his corner. In an instant, he clears the gap between himself and Nightshade, laying Nightshade out with a strong clothesline, turning Nightshade inside out. Nightshade quickly springs back to his feet however, only to be greeted with a second, equally as massive clothesline.
Joey LaDude – And Nightshade immediately turned inside out, and outside in! Looks like Tarrasque wants to end this one early!
Victoria Elspeth – It's terrifying that a man that big, can be that fast! What are people supposed to do against this monster?!
Nightshade quickly rolls over to the ropes, and uses them to help himself up this time. Tarrasque charges once again, going for yet another clothesline, but this time Nightshade ducks under the Beast's giants arm, rolling quickly behind him. He then springs against the ropes, and charges Tarrasque, hitting the Mountain of muscle with a clothesline, and bouncing off of him, down to the ground. A look of shock spreads across Nightshade's face, as he scrambles away to a corner, to regain himself.
Joey LaDude – Nightshade bouncing off of Tarrasque like a goddamn rubber ball!!! This man is HUGE!
Victoria Elspeth – It's clear Nightshade isn't used to fighting people with such a large size difference. These two might be the same height, but Tarrasque girth is almost inhuman!
Joey LaDude – No “almost” about it, Vick. I've heard that Tarrasque is actually the result of a sick scientific experiment that turned him into this monster!
Victoria Elspeth – Joey, I love the colour of your commentary, but you should really leave your comic books out of this.
As Tarrasque begins to make a move towards Nightshade, Nightshade bursts out of his corner once again, this time nailing Tarrasque with a picture perfect European Uppercut. Nightshade bounces off the massive human again, but this time he lands on his feet, and uses the backwards momentum to hit the ropes, springing back and hitting Tarrasque with another Uppercut! This causes the Beast to take a step back this time! Seeing an opportunity, Nightshade hits the ropes one more time, and is greeted with a huge spear in the center of the ring. Tarrasque goes for the pin.
... One... Two... KICK OUT!
Nightshade tries to pick himself back up to his feet, but Tarrasque gets a hold of him first. In an instant, he grabs the smaller man, and lifts him into the air in a massive Bearhug, as he begins swinging Nightshade from side to side!
Victoria Elspeth – Look at the way he's manhandling Nightshade in there!
Joe LaDude – The Shaker! Look at the way he's tossing that weight around like it's nothing!
As Tarrasque swings Nightshade from side to side, he inadvertantly swings the man into referee Barry Andrews, who hits the mat like a sack of bricks. Seeing an opportunity, Nightshade delivers a swift knee to the junk of Tarrasque, who releases the bear hug, as his body tenses up! Nightshade collapses on the ground, and forcefully pushes his way to his hands and knees, where he delivers another solid Low blow to the Beast, causing him to fall to his knees! Nightshade scrambles to his feet and hooks his arms around the torso of the massive man, before letting out a gutteral roar, and lifting the pile of muscle into the air for an earth shattering Pumphandle Slam! He goes for the pin!
…. …. ….
Victoria Elspeth – What a display of strength from Nightshade! It wasn't quite as effortless as Tarrasque's, but all that matters is he managed to slam The Beast!
Joey LaDude – He better get the referee back up quick though! I don't think he's done as much damage as he thinks he has!
Nightshade finally releases the pin, as he goes to check on the referee. After poking and prodding him a few times, the referee finally begins to stir. This seems sufficient to Nightshade as he returns his attention to Tarrasque, only to be greeted by a massive paw of a hand gripping his junk, and lifting him up into the air!
Joey LaDude – Rise of the Feminine Side! Tarrasque's finisher! It's normally an illegal move here in GCW, but turn about it fair play!
As The Beast lifts Nightshade into the air, Nightshade cries out in pain. Just as the referee finally re-attains a vertical base, Tarrasque transitions into a Powerbomb clutch, slamming Nightshade down in the center of the ring. Without releasing the crutch, he lifts Nightshade up again, and slams him down. Then he does it again. And again. And Again. 6....7...8...9...10! On the 10th slam, Tarrasque finally releases the clutch. Instead of going for the pin however, he suddenly leaps up into the air, planting himself onto Nightshade with a Standing Moonsault. As he lands, he presses all of his weight down onto Nightshade's shoulders for the pin.
... One... Two... Three!!
Katie Evans – Here is your winner, The Beast TARRAASSQQUEEE!!!
Joey LaDude – Jesus christ, did you see that?! I didn't think he was ever gonna stop with those powerbombs!
Victoria Elspeth – I'm more amazed by the standing Moonsault! How is someone so big, able to be so agile?!
Joey LaDude – I'm not sure, but I'm getting the feeling Nightshade will think twice before he low blows Tarrasque again. That just seemed to anger him more than anything!
This time, Tarrasque demands Barry Anderson raise his hand in victory, before he begins his slow walk back up the ramp way. As he goes through the curtain to the back, we cut back to ringside at the announcers table.

GCW Update
|
| Victoria Elspeth – The Beast that is Tarrasque has joined Rob Riot in the Finals!
Joey LaDude – There’s a pair no one should be in a hurry to join! But before we get to figuring out which poor soul will join them in the finals, I have a surprise for you.
Victoria Elspeth – You have a surprise for me? Please don’t…
Joey LaDude – Sure do! And calm down, it’s not bad…look, with the announcement of Onslaught, I’ve just gotten word that None other than our current COO, Kintaru, will be with us the next time we come to you live here from The Gate City View Arena in Atlanta baby!
The Onslaught graphic again draws a cheer from ‘The View’, that is until “Featuring Kintaru” appears on it in red drawing a resounding boo, some fans resort to throwing garbage at the screen as the boos grow, threatening to ring all the way down to Parsons’ office deep within the lower level of the arena within The Smart Mark.
Victoria Elspeth – So the debut episode of Onslaught is a good enough reason for Kintaru to decide to actually show up. He’s the Chief Operating Officer, he should have been here tonight!
Joey LaDude – Let’s just hope that with the announcement of a new show and the signing of Rock Stone… that he’s just busy trying to make this the best damn wrestling company out there!
Victoria Elspeth – When did you grow up? These five years changed you!
Surprised at the change in her old broadcast partner and not so much in the crowd’s reaction to Kintaru being the next name from GCW’s past to confirm their return.
Joey LaDude – I’m not saying that’s the case Vicky, just that let’s hope that if things have gone this well so far and we keep getting updates and signings throughout the night…maybe, just maybe Kintaru, alongside Parsons and, of course, David Sinclair, and the mysterious C.W. have some sort of plan for this expansion from Gate City Wrestling to Global Championship Wrestling.
Victoria Elspeth – That means in addition to the BadStreet Scramble and any fallout from that, we’re also going to hear from our COO. When you put it that way and forget who it is, it’s not so bad.
Transitioning from the Onslaught image back to the Festival of Fights logo, the crowd cheers! The Second Chance Match was next!
Victoria Elspeth – Getting back to the matter at hand! We still have one more finalist to determine before the tournament finals are locked in…up next all six men eliminated for the tournament thus far get a rare chance at redemption…The Second Chance Match…is up next!

Last Chance Battle Royal
| | Coming back to the ring from a commercial for Onslaught, Dan Chase is stood center ring with Katie Evans.
Victoria Elspeth – Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, it time to finish out our card for the evening. We already know two of the three men who will compete to gain their chance at the GCW Championship! Rob Riot and Tarrasque will be joined by one of the six men in the ring!
Joey LaDude – That’s the reason I love this format! Often times guys will say, ‘if I only had one more chance’, not here. Here you get one, no excuses Victoria…no excuses!
Victoria Elspeth – Then there will be no excuses for Armani Decano, Pequeno Dinosaurio, Salem Morningstar, Aaron Chandler, Vladimir Abukamov and Nightshade! Six men, standard battle royal rules. Elimination is over the top rope and both feet must touch the floor in order to be eliminated!
Joey LaDude – And that’s important Vicky, both feet must touch the floor…
Any other wisdom Joey LaDude is about to offer is interrupted by Katie Evans.
Katie Evans – Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the second chance battle royal match!
The crowd cheers, a crazy amount of action already had taken place and there was somehow, more.
Katie Evans – To be eliminated, a competitor must be thrown over the top rope with BOTH feet touching the floor. The last competitor left will join Rob Riot and Tarrasque in the Festival of Fights Finals in tonight’s main event!
Exiting the ring, Dan Chase is joined by Barry Andrews. Nodding, the senior referee signals for the bell…
DING! DING!! DING!!!
As soon as he bell rings, chaos erupts! All six men know all too well what is at stake and each pairs off as the crowd cheers in excitement!
Victoria Elspeth – Here we go! As the crowd thins we’ve got Nightshade stalking Pequeno Dinosaurio, Vladimir Abukamov locked up with Aaron Chandler and Armani Decano trading punches with Salem Morningstar!
Joey LaDude – This is it Vicky! Whoever gets through this gets the chance of a lifetime. They could be one of the men to enter the first match to decide the New GCW Champion Baby!
Nightshade rushes the small luchador, connecting with a big boot that crumples Pequeno Dinosaurio!
Victoria Elspeth – Pequeno Dinosaurio is down and Armani Decano has Salem Morningstar in trouble!
Stomping across the ring, Nightshade brings a double axe handle down upon Salem with fury!
Joey LaDude – Armani Decano AND Nightshade now teaming up to try to eliminate Salem Morningstar!
Using brute strength, Nightshade gets Morningstar over the top rope, but it’s Armani Decano that lands a high and crisp drop kick that sends Salem crashing to the floor right in front of Dan Chase!
Katie Evans – Salem Morningstar has been eliminated!
Victoria Elspeth – There you have it! Our first elimination and Salem Morningstar is headed back to the backstage area. That leaves five men whose dreams are still alive!
Joey LaDude – Salem has had a disappointing evening after being the company’s first signing upon announcing GCW’s return, let’s hope he comes back at Onslaught ready to go and you never know, Salem Morningstar could be our BaddStreet Champion!
Immediately turning on each other Nightshade makes a huge swing at Armani Decano that the much faster Decano has no problem dodging.
Meanwhile Aaron Chandler had Vladimir Abukamov in the corner via a knee to the midsection during a collar and elbow tie up. Landing lefts and rights, the Russian grappler is forced to cover up!
Victoria Elspeth – Decano dodging the big right of NightShade. Neither of these men can afford to focus too much on each other, because there are still three other men to contend with!
Joey LaDude – Not to mention Chandler teeing off on Vladimir Abukamov in the corner!
A cheer from the crowd proves exactly that as the downed Pequeno Dinosaurio tests the leg practically torn from its socket earlier and springboards across the ring dropkicking Nightshade in the chest and knocking the big man over the top rope to land on his feet on the arena floor!
Joey LaDude – But there’s your case in point! Pequeno Dinosaurio just eliminated Nightshade!
The crowd cheers as Pequeno Dinosaurio is on the canvas clutching his knee!
Katie Evans – Nightshade has been eliminated!
Victoria Elspeth – What a move from Dinosaurio! But how much did it take from his already injured leg!?
Joey LaDude – And then there were four!
Backing up, Aaron Chandler rushes Abukamov leaping into the air for a Stinger Splash!
Victoria Elspeth – Stinger Splash! No Vladimir is out of the way!
Crushing the air from his longs, Aaron Chandler doesn’t see the elbow to the back of his head coming.
Stunned and staggering out from the corner on wobbly legs, Chandler is grabbed and tossed over the top rope by the vicious Russian ‘Nerve Agent’ as "The Essence of Arrogance" hits the floor!
Katie Evans – Aaron Chandler has been eliminated!
Victoria Elspeth – And Vladimir Abukamov with the elimination!
Joey LaDude – And we’re half way there! Three competitors remain! Either Armani Decano, Vladimir Abukamov or Pequeno Dinosaurio will be headed to the finals!
Seeing an opportunity, Decano attacks Abukamov from behind! Whipping him into the ropes…
Victoria Elspeth – Clubbing blow from behind from Decano. He got Vladimir, Irish whip….Cash Out!
Armani Decano plants Abukamov with a huge Arn Anderson-esqe spinebuster! Immediately getting up to grab the recovering Pequeno Dinosaurio and one hand toss him over the top!
Victoria Elspeth – Armani Decano on fire, he’s got Pequeno Dinosaurio, over the top…
The agile luchador maintains a grip on the top rope and ‘skins the cat’ dangling over the floor from the top rope before pulling himself backward over the rope and back into the ring!
Joey LaDude – He skinned the cat! Pequeno Dinosauriois still in it! Decano doesn’t know!
Realizing Katie hasn’t announced the elimination, Armani Decano turns around only to get blazed by a perfectly placed superkick under the chin that sends ‘The Genuine Article’ tumbling over the top rope and to the floor, while Pequeno Dinosaurio collapses to the mat clutching his knee. Barry Andrews signals to Katie Evans!
Katie Evans – Armani Decano has been eliminated!
Victoria Elspeth – What a desperation move by Pequeno Dinosaurio! That young man is full of heart, he’s still hanging in there with one leg Joey!
Joey LaDude – And then there were only two! Vladimir Abukamov and Pequeno Dinosaurio face off for the second time tonight and this time the winner goes into the Festival of Fights Finals to face the legendary Rob Riot and the Monsterous Tarrasque!
The crowd cheers as Vladimir Abukamov begins to get back to his feet while Pequeno Dinosaurio pulls himself back to stand on what is essentially one good leg!
Victoria Elspeth – Pequeno Dinosaurio just let out a war cry and a charged Vladimir Abukamov!
Rushing Vlad, Dinosaurio drives him back into the corner as the fans chant “Dino!”; until his knee gives out…
Victoria Elspeth – Oh no! Not this! Not like this…
Vladimir stalks his prey, walking to the opposite corner, steadying himself for the end of Pequeno Dinosaurio!
Vladimir Abukamov – May I…?
Having seen enough, concern comes from a surprising source…
Joey LaDude – I’m not watching this!
The rumbling sound of LaDude dropping his headset precedes a roar from ‘The View’ as Joey LaDude dives under the bottom rope!
Joey LaDude – Sorry kid…this is for your own good…
LaDude does the unthinkable, he eliminates Pequeno Dinosaurio! Sending the wounded rookie tecnico crashing to the floor!
DING! DING!! DING!!!
Rolling back outside, Senior Referee Dan Chase confirms there are no disqualifications in this type of match and Katie Evans makes it official!
Katie Evans – Ladies and gentlemen…the winner of the Second Chance Match AND advancing to the Festival of Fights Finals…’The Nerve Agent’ Vladimir Abukamov!!!
Boos threaten to over take XS Project’s ‘Водоворот Vodovorot’ as Victoria practically yells the question on everyone’s mind…
Victoria Elspeth – Why Joey!? What the hell were you thinking?!
Boos fill the air as Vladimir Abukamov laughs seemingly at the very concept of mercy. Rumbling comes across the headset as LaDude comes back.
Joey LaDude – Don’t look at me like that Vicky!
Victoria Elspeth – Why did you do that? That’s all we want to know.
Joey LaDude – I did that because I wish someone would have stopped me Victoria. When he’s cleared to compete at Onslaught, he can thank me. That’s why!
Clearly not expecting such an answer, Victoria is stunned.
Victoria Elspeth – Joey…umm, wow. Ok, I can’t say I agree with what you just did, but I understand…you might have just saved that young man’s career!
Joey LaDude – Might have? Look at Vladimir Abukamov! He would have crippled that kid! None of you might want to admit it but it’s true! Look in that man’s eyes Victoria! That man?! ‘The Nerve Agent’? That’s a killer Vicky! I did Pequeno Dinosaurio the biggest favour anyone in this business is ever going to do for him!
Abukamov raises his arms in victory as Victoria Elspeth opts to get things back on course.
Victoria Elspeth – What an evening of GCW action Joey…wait a minute…is that?
GCW camera’s are focused on one particular man who appears to be making his way toward the VIP section.
Long brown curly hair and piercing blue eyes, the black suit the man wore was finely tailored down to the green silk shirt he wore beneath the jacket.
A blue and gold banner runs along the bottom of he screen, “ Derren Archer – RESIGNS with GCW!” Waving his arm before his chest, the shirt has now changed to a gleaming white!
Victoria Elspeth – What an announcement! And what a trick! The magical Derren Archer is back in GCW!
Joey LaDude – The surprises and signings continue! Derren Archer, former BaddStreet Champion in his own right, has returned to recapture the magic!
Victoria Elspeth – That’s what we’re all trying to do, and we’ve still got two matches left…up next…we attempt to turn back time when Phoenix Wrestling Elite gets it’s last hurrah. ‘D’ versus Andrew Morgan, it’s next here at The Festival of Fights!

PWE Dream Match
| | Joey LaDude – Years before Gate City, a different Phoenix was rising and during that time, two men lead the way. Andrew Morgan and ‘D’…
Footage of Andrew Morgan walking away from the camera is spliced with footage ‘D’ as recently as just a few weeks ago.
Victoria Elspeth – There’s more here than meets the eye. Each of these men have something to prove. The Phoenix Wrestling Elite World Champion Andrew Morgan. A man looking to prove he can still compete at the highest levels despite all but disappearing with the closure of PWE!
Joey LaDude – And ‘D’, a guy who has spent the past several years proving exactly the same thing to himself alongside the likes of Rob Riot and Shane Mitchell! The PWE Phoenix Rising Champion is now the more experienced of the the two, reversing the roles from when they last shared a locker room.
The cameras pan ‘The View’ and the cheers build…
Victoria Elspeth – It’s time…
Katie Evans – The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a special featured match here at The Festival of Fights!
‘The Vengeful One‘ by Disturbed plays as a match once thought impossible was now only moments away from becoming reality.
Katie Evans – Introducing first… from Detroit, Michigan... weighing in at 327 pounds... he was the only Phoenix Wrestling Elite World Champion, Andrew Morgan!!!
Victoria Elspeth – Listen to the crowd cheer Joey! They love Morgan here!
Stepping through the curtain, Andrew Morgan, the only PWE World Champion, receives a hero’s welcome from the Atlanta crowd!
Joey LaDude – It’s easy to side with the only guy to get he top Championship in a company…but how does he handle pressure, adversity? Can he endure a fight he isn’t winning?!
Walking the aisle, Morgan undoes the belt choosing to drape it over his shoulder as he interacts with the GCW fans. It is plain to see that the good natured Morgan enjoys people despite his ‘gruff demeanour’.
Victoria Elspeth – Andrew Morgan might be enjoying himself now but I assure you once the bell rings, Morgan will be all business! Both men went undefeated while in PWE, both men were champions in PWE, tonight we find out who truly was the elite of PWE!
Getting to the ring, Morgan raises the PWE World title for all to see, clearly proud of what he had accomplished.
Joey LaDude – Can you imagine what this would have meant when PWE was in it’s glory? This could have been a catalyst to something great…hell, it still could be!
Pacing around the ring, the PWE World Champion now awaits his opponent. Referee Freddy Benson half interestedly checks Morgan for weapons and both turn to await Morgan’s opponent.
Victoria Elspeth – ‘D’ hasn’t been seen or heard from since leaving his long time home promotion recently, one has to wonder what kind of effect that’s had on ‘the enigma’.
Almost on command, the beginning chords to ‘Freak’ by Silverchair draws a fresh cheer from the packed to capacity Gate City View Arena!
Katie Evans – And his opponent…hailing from parts unknown…weighing in at two hundred and thirteen pounds…he is… ‘D’!!!!!!!
Joey LaDude – Here we go Victoria! Semi main event! We get to answer an old obscure question…this is what being a mark is all about! You know, if you’re into that sort of thing!
Fans begin getting confused, the confusion leads to boos sprinkled among the cheers!
Victoria Elspeth – Wait a minute!
As Victoria begins to realize that ’D’ has yet to come though the curtains from the back, the music stretches and pyro explodes.
Joey LaDude – What was that?! This doesn’t seem right! Is ’D’ in trouble?
A blast of fiery pyro consumes the stage, lighting the stage as the light cut, sending ’The View’ into darkness!
Victoria Elspeth – He could be Joey, I'm not sure what is going on here, but have a bad feeling about this!
Joey LaDude – I’m afraid of the dark Vicky! Hold me!
Victoria Elspeth – The fire’s gone out! But where is ‘D’?
A maniacal laughter fills the air, though only silhouettes are seen, Andrew Morgan can clearly be seen pacing the ring, his impatience growing into frustration with each passing moment.
Suspecting mind games from the enigma, Morgan is having none of it!
Andrew Morgan – Come out and face me! Show yourself!
The telltale sound of a steel chair curving itself around the human body as it is slammed time after time into the body of Andrew Morgan echoes throughout the arena, fan are almost hissing with anger at their co-main event seemingly evaporating before them!
Victoria Elspeth – Something or someone just took out Andrew Morgan….
Joey LaDude – I thought Existing as Nonpareil proved there was no Gate City Phantom?!
Through the shadows, Morgan is dragged to his feet, some ambient lighting returns, bathing ‘The View’ in a grey tinged hue.
A blackened silhouette stands over a crumpled form.
Victoria Elspeth – There’s no phantom Joey! That’s either ‘D’ in the ring…or it’s whomever took out the enigma!
Joey LaDude – Could there be another PWE alumni?
Victoria Elspeth – It could be anyone, we’re getting word from the back that ‘D’ never arrived at the arena today. No one, from security to backstage staff to other wrestlers and management have laid eyes upon the enigma!
Joey LaDude – I’m sticking with the Gate City Phantom!
The wraith like form grabs the referee, a slight scream is heard as he’s shaken and pushed to the mat. Scrambling and flailing, the cowardly Freddy Benson can be seen getting out of the ring as though his life depended upon it!
Victoria Elspeth – Why not ask Benson?! Seems like he’s the only one who got a good look at whoever that is?
Dragging Morgan to his feet, the wraith locks up Andrew Morgan in some sort of side headlock before driving him skull first into the mat causing a figurative rain of jeers to fall upon the ring before a literal rain of popcorn containers and paper cups waft into the ring!
Joey LaDude – I think the fans have had enough!
As the debris collects in the ring, the maniacal laughter from before repeats itself, before the lights come back!
Victoria Elspeth – Finally! The lights are back! Let’s see who this is!
In the ring, Andrew Morgan is laid out, face down. A few more cups, accompanied by a bit more garbage collecting atop the for PWE World Champion! Boos and concern reign over ‘The View’ as the rain of litter comes to a stop.
Joey LaDude – They’re gone! Phantom I tells ya!
Victoria Elspeth – There’s no phantom! Either ‘D’ is sending a message to Andrew Morgan, or someone else is sending a message to both of the final remnants of PWE. Either way, someone did this, this was no phantom!
EMT’s check on Morgan as fans clap in hopes he’s ok.
Joey LaDude – This sucks, we couldn’t get through one show without something like this happening? The worst of this is now Vladimir Abukamov has his rest limited…he’s still got a final match against two men more rested than him in Tarrasque and Rob Riot!
A graphic of the triple threat final appears on the Jumbo Tron distracting the audience and getting a cheer from the crowd as Morgan is helped to the back to see the training staff!
Victoria Elspeth – Great observation Joey! This match was to serve as a rest for the dangerous Russian, now, Vladimir Abukamov will have to grit his way through if he hopes to win the Festival of Fights and punch his ticket into the very first GCW Championship Match of this new era! It’s an incredibly intriguing matchup that will cap off an insane night of GCW action…and it’s up next!

Talkin' Crude - The Festival So Far!
|
| We see Adrian Styles once again sitting in his seat
Adrian Styles – Well, fuck me sideways and call me Sally! Have you been watching this shit?! We thought round one was good until Rob Fuckin’ Riot and the Russian Terminator tried to fucking kill one another! Did you hear that sickening thud when Vlad hit the steps? It reminded me of when Joey’s mom took off her bra! WHACK!
Styles laughs hysterically holding his hands in front of his chest as though holding up a pair of mighty breasts.
Adrian Styles – I honestly thought that son of a bitch had been broken in half, but it just goes to show; you can’t keep a good psychopath down! In the end Riot won the match by disqualification and Vlad goes into the Battle Royal as my new favorite wrestler!
Styles gets to his feet and gestures wildly with his hands while stomping his feet.
Adrian Styles – After that we saw Tarrasque try to either eat, or fuck, Emo McFuckNugget as they both lumbered around the ring playing a game of ‘Guess whose Parents loved them less’ – Well guess what assholes?!
Styles points aggressively into the camera.
Adrian Styles – You were BOTH MISTAKES!
Styles loudly hocks and spits across the studio with a grimace.
Adrian Styles – In the end that Godzilla looking mother fucker put Nightshade down and secured himself a spot in the finals against Rob Riot! But wait that’s not all!
Styles grabs his baseball bat and swings it through the air
Adrian Styles – Because my man Vlad walked into the Last Chance Battle Royal and destroyed everyone!
Adrian claps his hands together in excitement.
Adrian Styles – The match started off with Nightshade showing us why he has been practicing stomping his feet all night as he tried to put one of his tootsies through the fucking head of Dinosaurio! Take that you Dino Dipshit!
Adrian’s eyes are dancing with joy behind his Orange aviators.
Adrian Styles – Then Nightshade turned his attention of Salem Morningstar – Attacking him from behind with a bone crunching Axe Handle but, as he was about to throw him to the outside, Armani Decano capitalized on the situation to score the first elimination, dropkicking Salem to the outside. Predictably our resident anger management class dropout then turned his attention on Decano and the two started trying to kill one another!
Adrian laughs at the memory.
Adrian Styles – While this was happening Aaron Chandler, another member of High Society, was taking full advantage of Abukamov who had already been in two matches. Chandler pinned the Russian Terminator in the corner and punished him like I punish Joey’s mom.
Styles momentarily turns to a second camera, winks and blows a kiss before returning his focus to the main cam.
Adrian Styles – Then from NOWHERE Dinosaurio flew across the ring with some kind of springboard superman shit and POW! dropkicked Nightshade clear over the top rope!
Styles feigns wiping a tear from his eye
Adrian Styles – It was beautiful I tell ya! Next up, as Aaron Chandler attempted to press his advantage against Vladimir, the schmuck hit the empty turnbuckle like a train, almost knocking himself out which resulted in him being thrown out like a stepchild on their eighteenth birthday!
Styles dramatically throws his arm through the air and then claps his hands together, visually representing how Chandler was thrown over the top rope.
Adrian Styles – And like some social justice warrior, Armani Decano tried to seek revenge for his fallen cousin by attacking Vladimir Abukamov from behind! He slammed him into the mat and threw Dinosaurio over the top rope like an insignificant flea, but the lizard man avoided elimination before trying to kick the fucking scar off of Decano’s face! POW! and Decano was eliminated!
Styles laughs again, clearly a fan of his own analogy.
Adrian Styles – Then, looking like he was about to rip Dinosaurio’s fucking leg off, the beast that is Vladimir Abukamov had glory stolen from him by that bitch Joey LaDipShit, who jumped in the ring to eliminate Barney The Dinosaur’s Mexican Cousin, all because he couldn’t stomach what The Nerve Agent was doing to him! That’s right, Joey LaDude is a pussy! HEY JOEY! Close your legs, I can smell your vagina from up here!
Styles again laughs manically at his own ‘hilarious’ joke.
Adrian Styles – As Dino Guy had his guts scraped up off of the arena floor, I actually thought we were going to see LaDude get his head taken off, but Vlad unexpectedly let him get out of the ring in one piece.
Styles shakes his head with a sigh.
Adrian Styles – I’m disappointed Vlad. That is not what I wanted to see!
Styles throws the bat across the studio where it bounces off the carpeted floor and slams into the window overlooking the view. This generates a pop from the crowd below. Laughing Styles retakes his seat.
Adrian Styles – This means Vlad Abukamov takes the final spot in the main event, earning himself a chance to become number one contender to the GCW Championship, but more importantly, another opportunity to fucking kill Rob Riot! Back to you Fuckers!
The feed switches back to the announce table where once again, Victoria and Joey are sat aghast at the behavior they just witnessed. Between them is the solid gold plate that acts as a trophy for the winner of the Festival Of Fights.
Victoria Elspeth – Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back! Again, we can only apologize for what we just saw. As you return, we are very nearly ready for the main event of the evening.
Joey LaDude – That’s right, Vicky. The ring has been cleared following what we just saw and I’m getting word from the back that we are ready.
Victoria Elspeth – Katie Evans is in the ring and everyone here is eager to find out WHO will win the GCW Festival Of Fights 2019!

Main Event: FOF '19 Finals Match
| |
Victoria Elspeth – Finally, the moment you have all been waiting for!
The crowd cheers as Katie climbs into the ring. She looks around the arena smiling.
Joey LaDude - This match should be great Vicky. All three men are riding a wave of momentum, but you have to ask yourself who will be able to keep it up after the hard night they have has here at Festival Of Fights!
Victoria Elspeth - Joey, something tells me that all three of these men will find it somewhere inside themselves to get through this final match! Either way, we are about to find out who want's it more!
Katie Evans – The following match is THE FINALS of the Festival Of Fights Tournament! This match is a TRIPLE THREAT MATCH and will have one fall! First, on his way to the ring, from Novosibirsk, Russia, The Nerve Agent… Vladimir Abukamov!!!!!
XS Project Водоворот Vodovorot hits and the crowd instantly burst into a hate filled rampage. Screaming and shouting their disapproval for the Russian who refuses to say die. Vladimir Abukamov makes his way out onto the stage. His limp is more pronounced now than it had been earlier in the night, but despite the physical pain he must undoubtedly be in, The Nerve Agent still smiles and seems… elated to be making his way out to the ring once more.
Victoria Elspeth – This is Vladimir’s fourth match on tonight’s show and he looks to be just as excited by the prospect of being out here as he was in his first match of the evening.
Joey LaDude – And I’m sure that is exactly how he is feeling Vicky… Guys like him thrive on the hate. The bile. The controversy. The crowd are doing nothing more than FEEDING him at this point!
As Abukamov makes it to the ring his music fades. Katie raises the microphone to her lips.
Katie Evans – Next on his way to the ring, accompanied by Alex Johnson, TARRASQUE!!!
The crowd give a mixed reaction to the man monster that is Tarrasque as he makes his way out onto the stage guided by his manager.
Victoria Elspeth – I cant believe it! Sections of the crowd are actually cheering Tarrasque!
Joey LaDude – I guess the prospect of seeing a monster like him take Vladimir apart is just far too appealing!
Tarrasque reaches the ring and has to be directed inside. Vladimir regards his intimidating opponent with gleeful inquisitiveness as he circles the ring, occasionally working his injured leg.
Victoria Elspeth – I was honestly expecting Vladimir to attack Tarrasque as soon as he climbed through the ropes but it seems the sadistic streak in The Nerve Agent isn’t completely out of control.
Joey LaDude – None of us should underestimate Abukamov Vicky. He isn’t some sick freak without self-control… He knows exactly what he is doing, and he embraces the chaos!
Katie Evans – And finally on his way to the ring, from Manchester, England… He is The Riot Star…. ROB RIIIIIOOOOTTTT!!!
The crowd cheer wildly as Riot bursts through the curtain several seconds ahead of “I feel you” kicking in. He is already on the ramp by the time the song actually starts and almost half way down it before Vladimir realizes exactly what is going on and his eyes widen to see his opponent limp running toward him. He smirks just as Riot hits ringside and slides lightning quick under the bottom rope. Vladimir reacts in kind and slams a Shining Wizard into the head of Riot as he tries to press this advantage. Dan Chase calls for the bell to officially start the match.
DING! DING!! DING!!!
Victoria Elspeth – Riot ran into a Shining Wizard!
Joey LaDude – His eagerness became his undoing in that moment!
Vladimir and Riot climb to their feet as Tarrasque distractedly plays with the top turnbuckle covering in the corner closest to his manager. Alex Johnson is irate, screaming for his client to
Alex Johnson – Do something! ANYTHING!!
Riot throws a wild punch, connecting to the jaw of Vladimir and staggering him. Abukamov returns in kind, staggering Riot. Riot. Abukamov. Riot.
Joey LaDude – Rob Riot and Vladimir Abukamov unloading on one another, exchanging stiff rights!
Abukamov. Riot. Abukamov. Abukamov. Abukamov. Vlad presses his advantage and grabs a hand around Riots throat. Then another. Riot claws at Abukamov’s wrists, but The Nerve Agent was expecting the resistance and had been merely repositioning his opponent. He slams his head into Riots, staggering the Riot Star who falls against Tarrasque, awkwardly knocking the giant into the corner. A slight glazed look washes off of Tarrasque’s face to be instantly replaced by unbridled hatred. As Riot staggers away Tarrasque spins on his heels and hits a huge standing clothesline from hell, flipping Riot through the air like a rag doll.
Joey LaDude – Tarrasque just folded Riot in half!
Victoria Elspeth – And Abukamov just rolled to the outside! I think we know why he was smiling when Tarrasque made it to the ring; this is what he was planning!
Tarrasque reaches down and grabs Riot by the skull, his grossly oversized fingers wrapping around Riots head so it looked like a bird skull in a vice. Tarrasque grabs Riots arm and hits a thunderous Short Arm Clothesline, whipping Riot through the air and crumpling him on the mat.
Joey LaDude – Tarrasque still holding Riots arm in that vice like grip!
Victoria Elspeth – and using it to pull Riot back to his feet!!!
Once back up, Tarrasque delivers another picture-perfect Short Arm Clothesline, driving Riot back into the mat. Again, still holding Riot’s arm, Tarrasque pulls Riot to his feet. He throws Riot into the ropes and Rob hurtles back toward him but is stopped dead in his tracks with a soul splitting heart punch which doubles Riot over mid air taking his feet clean off the mat and throwing him back over four feet. The crowd are losing their minds, some booing, some cheering but ALL on their feet!
Joey LaDude – explosive heart punch puts Riot on the mat yet again!
Victoria Elspeth – Abukamov enjoying every moment of the decimation happening in the ring with no interest in getting involved himself!
Tarrasque drags a limp Rob Riot up, missing getting him to his feet, instead lifting him onto his shoulders like he was no more than a child. Tarrasque moves toward the ropes and without hesitation, powerbombs Riot on to the top rope, springing him into the air. Tarrasque releases his hold on Rob’s body, allowing the Riot Star to soar high into the air, his body turning and semiconscious at best. Tarrasque grabs Riot’s head as he falls and hits a sickening DDT, driving him headfirst into the mat. The crunch as Riot crumples and then springs up echo’s around the arena. Riots body lands three feet from Tarrasque’s and folds as it impacts the mat, where he lays motionless.
Joey LaDude – What was that noise?!
Victoria Elspeth – Get the EMT’s out here!
Tarrasque is back to his feet and shares no such concerns for Riot’s welfare. He grabs his skull with both hands and dead lifts him into the air. Screaming Tarrasque starts to squeeze Riots head.
Joey LaDude – Oh god! It’s like watching Game Of Thrones all over again! Someone get Riot a spear, he needs it!
As Riot struggles, Tarrasque shakes him violently, his hands bedding down on Riots skull, threatening to crack it like an over ripe watermelon.
Victoria Elspeth – DAN! STOP THE MATCH DAMMIT!
Chase looks concerned and considers calling for the bell when, suddenly, Riot hefts his foot forward, kicking Tarrasque in the groin. Tarrasque relxes his grip and drops Riot’s feet onto the mat as he slumps, but does not fall. Rot grabs one of Tarrasque’s mighty arms, wedges his foot under the monsters jaw and pushes himself back. Slamming into the mat, Riot hits the Eat Defeat on Tarrasque almost separating skull from spinal column.
Joey LaDude – EAT DEFEAT!
Tarrasque’s body slumps on top of Riot’s and both men are motionless. Sudden panic overtakes Vlad as Dan Chase drops to the mat to count.
Victoria Elspeth – RIOT CANT KICK OUT!
…. One… TWO…
Abukamov jumps through the air and comes down on Tarrasque with an elbow, breaking the inadvertent pin. Tarrasque whips his head around the look of hatred in his eyes now redirected.
Victoria Elspeth – VLADIMIR HASAWOKEN THE BEAST!
Abukamov skitters back across the mat on his hands, dragging his legs as Tarrasque rounds on him. The big man reaches out and grabs Vlad’s leg putting an end to his escape attempt and pulls him slowly back toward the middle of the ring. Vlad draws his free leg up and kicks it out with authority, slamming it into Tarrasque’s face. Tarrasque still drags Vlad toward him. Abukamov kicks again and again until the fourth impact when blood jets from Tarrasque’s broken nose all over the canvas.
Joey LaDude – That one seems to have dazed The Beast!
Vladimir pulls back and gets to his feet as Tarrasque plants a bloody hand against the mat and pushes himself up. Abukamov grabs Tarrasque’s head and hits a swinging neckbreaker in the middle of the ring. He goes for a pin.
ONE!...
Joey LaDude – Nowhere near enough to keep the big man down; he kicks out with authority!
Abukamov drives an elbow into Tarrasque’s face as he sits up behind him. Abukamov is back to his feet and quickly climbs to the second turnbuckle as Tarrasque rounds on him. Abukamov leaps off of the ropes, spins through the air and hits a diving European Uppercut.
Victoria Elspeth – Abukamov both out aggressing and out wrestling The Beast!
Joey LaDude – This is not what I was expecting to see!
Abukamov comes off of the ropes and hits his second Shining Wizard of the match, this time against a slowly recovering Tarrasque, dropping him back to the mat.
Victoria Elspeth – Shining Wizard leaves Tarrasque seeing stars!
Vladimir stands over his opponent and drops a pointed elbow into the back of Tarrasque’s head. He locks an arm around Tarrasque’s meaty neck and with his other hand rains clenched fists down on the side and back of Tarrasque’s head all the while grinding his face against the mat.
Joey LaDude – The moment Vlad saw blood the decision was made; target the head! The broken nose means Tarrasque can’t breathe, and blow after blow to his skull means he cant think! One thing we have learned tonight; Vladimir is a master at targeting a body part to ensure victory!
Vladimir grabs one of Tarrasque’s arms and forces it between his legs before locking an arm around Tarrasque’s neck to lock in the Crippler Crossface.
Victoria Elspeth – Vladimir going for a submission victory! And Riot is still outside of the ring unable to help as he attempts to recover from the vicious ordeal that started this match!
As Abukamov wrenches Tarraque’s head back, The Beast groans. His manager Alex Johnson pounds a fist angrily against the mat, screaming for Tarrasque to fight back. The big man seems to hear and stops trying to pry Abukamov’s arms from around his face/neck and instead plants it into the mat. Coughing comes up from Tarrasque’s mouth as he chokes on the blood backing up through his broken nose and pooling in his windpipe.
Joey LaDude – This match is over! Tarrasque is going to drown on his own blood! We have to stop it.
Tarrasque’s knuckles whiten as he presses against the mat. Joey’s headphones rumble as they are pulled off of his head
Victoria Elspeth – Joey No! Don’t get involved!
and he starts to climb out from behind the announce table…
Victoria Elspeth – Joey! LOOK!
As Tarrasque starts to move. First he drags himself forward, tightening the hold and applying more pressure… Then he starts to lift himself off of the mat, dragging his opponent up with him. Joey pulls his headphones back on, muttering as he does so.
Joey LaDude – …sible. T- that isn’t possible!
Tarrasque lifts Abukamov clean off of the mat as he pulls himself to a kneeling position, the crossface still locked in.
Victoria Elspeth – Abukamov still refusing to release the hold and Tarrasque somehow fighting back, despite all Vlad’s weight now wrenching down on that broken nose!
Tarrasque, with one last mighty effort, gets to his feet, releasing almost all of the pressure. He staggers toward a corner and hoists his arm into the air. He swings it and Abukamov angrily, slamming Vladimir into the top turnbuckle and exposed ring post. The crowd pop as Vlad’s body slams against the steel and crumples, folding into the ring against the corner. A ‘Holy Shit’ chant starts.
Victoria Elspeth – I couldn’t agree with this capacity crowd more! Vladimir Abukamov was just broken in half!
Tarrasque lets out an animalistic scream, venting his anger as he kicks and stomps the Russian who is now huddled against the bottom turnbuckle. Tarrasque turns wild eyed and swaying on his feet. Rob Riot is suddenly revealed on the far turnbuckle Tarrasque moves to intercept but Riot is ready. He leaps through the air and hits a diving superkick from the top rope. Tarrasque’s head whips, sending a jet of blood into no-man’s land and the front row VIP seats beyond eliciting an excited reaction from most, but an absolutely disgusted reaction from those affected
Victoria Elspeth – Diving Superkick!
Joey LaDude – I’m not sure I’ve seen that before Vicky! Riot nearly took Tarasque’s head off his shoulders!
Riot pulls himself back to his feet as Tarrasque staggers. He grabs the huge man, somehow finding the strength to lift him on to his shoulder and immediately hits the Riot Rack! The crowd explodes in a frenzy.
Victoria Elspeth – OH MY GOD!!!!
Riot hooks Tarrasque’s leg and Dan Chase drops to the mat.
... ONE... TWO... THREE!!!
"I Feel You" by Depeche Mode hits the PA and the crowd are going crazy.
Katie Evans – The winner, by pinfall, and the 2019 Festival Of Fights Champion….. ROB RIOT!!!
Riot pulls himself off of Tarrasque, slumped on his knees he throws his head back and arms into the air as the adoring Gate City crowd go nuts for The Riot Star.
