Welcome to Scarborough Heritage Wrestling!
April 30th (Tape Delay: Airing on May 6th)
U of T Scarborough
Scarborough, Ontario, Canada
____________________________________________________________
The show opens with Solomon Graham (who’s presumably here to oversee things for the first show and make sure Lloyd is doing his job correctly) and Lloyd Gustav standing in the ring. Lloyd is holding a Top Hat upside down in his hands. They both stand next to a table (Graham to our left, Lloyd to our right) and on this table is the SHW Femme Fatale’s championship belt. Graham has the mic and prepares to speak.
“Good evening all! And WELCOME… to Scarborough. Heritage. Wrestling!”
He pauses and takes in the big pop from the fans.
Crowd: S-H-DUB! S-H-DUB!
“Now, as you all know, we here at SHW have done something a little bit different from our parent federation, FWA. Something different in the sense that unlike FWA, SHW has a Women’s Division. A Women’s Division that we’re quite proud of. And in just two months time, on June 30th 2020… we are going to host another tournament…"
He signals to the belt on the table.
“...this time, we’ll be crowning our FIRST EVER… SHW Femme Fatale’s champion!!!”
Another huge pop!
“However, tonight, right now in front of each and every one of you, we draw names from a hat to determine who will participate. Lloyd… hat! AND DRUMROLL PLEASE!!!”
Lloyd places the hat on the table and Graham reaches into it, which starts the drumroll. We hear the shuffling of paper and we see that Graham is looking away. The drumroll comes to an end and Graham pulls a folded slip of paper out from the hat and unfolds it. He nods his head a little bit, almost as though he’s impressed with the name he’s drawn from the hat.
“Bianca Frost!”
Relatively positive reaction from the fans as Graham places the slip of paper in his hand neatly on the table, before going to draw again.
“DRUMROLL PLEASE!!”
The exact same thing as before. This time, he pulls out the name and gives no reaction besides a slight nod of the head.
“Toni Travone!”
Almost no reaction. DRUMROLL PLEASE!
We move through the cycle again, this time Graham is WAAAY more impressed with the choice (as he gives a smile similar to one Vince McMahon might give).
“WYLD U graduate... RRRRRRILEY ROUSE!!!!!!”
HUUUGE pop from the fans! They even start a “RI-LEY!” chant. DRUMROLL PLEASE!
We move through the cycle once again, this time Graham is not impressed at all (in fact, you may very well call him disdainful towards this choice).
“ALEXANDRIA LOPEZ!!!”
MASSIVE booing from the crowd! We’re clearly in Anti-Nightmare territory. Drumroll Please!
Move through the motions, this time Graham is happy.
“Connie Maldoon!!”
VERY Positive reaction from the crowd. Drumroll Please!
Move through the cycle, this time Graham seems almost frightened by the choice. When he gets on the mic, he stammers and stutters while speaking.
“T-trixie Macbeth!”
“Oooooh shit” type reaction from the fans. This time Graham doesn’t even say “Drumroll Please!” he just draws a name from a hat. He smiles.
“Angelique Francois!”
Mixed reaction from the fans! Then, he draws one more name from the hat. However, this one is very peculiar. Unlike the others (which were standard white lined paper, the kind you’d find in a notebook), this one is printer paper and is printed with a bunch of question marks on it. Graham looks very confused (and the crowd sounds confused). He slowly opens it up… and when he does, his expression changes to one of pure shock! His knees even buckle from under him. However, he quickly gets back to his feet and smiles, with eyes as wide as a 100 acres of land.
“Ladies and gentlemen… the FINAL… entrant into the Femme Fatale’s championship tournament…”
He pauses for effect, allowing the anticipation to build… before finally, he says it.
“...MY WIFE… SELENA!!! DEMPSEY!!!!!”
HUUUUGE pop and Graham begins panting excitedly with his tongue hanging out of his mouth like a dog! It takes Lloyd dumping a bottle of water over Graham’s head and slapping him across the face to bring him back to his senses.
“And those are the brackets for the Femme Fatale’s tournament! I’d like to thank all of you in advance for being here on this day for such a momentous occasion… Thank you very much! Now, without further ado… ON WITH THE SHOW GODDAMMIT!!!”
He and Lloyd then exit the ring and on his way to the back, Graham shakes the hands of a few fans.
____________________________________________________________
In the backstage area before the show started, Adrian Graves, Tom The Butcher and Tony Randell sat. They were talking… discussing business. Who were they gonna destroy on their way to the top, when would they go after those Tag belts and how much money was Tom making to break people in half? All of that was on the table. Eventually, the topic of conversation traveled to the fact that Adrian and Tom had never teamed together before and how interesting that dynamic might turn out to be. A smirk crept across Tony’s face, and he stated this.
“I have an idea!”
He then got up and exited the locker room. A graphic pops up on the screen, along with that famous, cartoony-sounding French voice…
cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/671911056599416833/707388572730261574/6_Million_Years_Later....png
We then cut back to Adrian and Tom. After what seemed like forever, Adrian looked bored out of his mind, while Tom had a blank expression on his face. Then, Tony came back into the locker room with some big news.
“I got news boys! Tonight, you two… will team up to fight Ed Justice in a 2-on-1 Tornado Rules handicap match!!”
There was a long pause after this and both Adrian and Tom just looked at Tony like there were lobsters coming out of his ears. Then, almost out of nowhere… Adrian and Tom both just burst into laughter. They couldn’t stop either, they just continued laughing for what seemed like minutes… until they noticed Tony’s serious expression. Graves piped up…
“Oh, you’re serious…? Okay. So, what you’re saying is that you managed to get us a jobber squash. Not a credible threat that actually raises our stock, but that skinny, New Jersey trash that you and Tommy boy, here, already beat the shit out of! Cool!”
Tony does not look impressed.
“This is a serious opportunity… to earn the favor of those fans and get to the top easier! They HATE Justice, and once we’ve got those marks on our side, anything’s possible!”
Tom tilted his head slightly to the side while looking at Adrian. Adrian looked at Tom… and immediately his expression changed to that of pissed off.
“Whaddya mean he’s got a point?!”
Tom then tilted his head slightly to the opposite direction.
“Don’t call me a jackass, you son of a bitch!!”
Tony looked on at Adrian arguing with a man who wasn’t speaking… and became very displeased.
“Adrian, shut up!! This is exactly what I was talkin’ about! You both seem hellbent on fighting among yourselves instead of focusing on what’s really important… those Openweight Tag Belts. Despite having a connection with each other that even I don’t fully understand! You need to go out there and prove (not just to me, but to everybody watching) that we are championship material, you hear me?!”
Everybody pauses. Both Adrian and Tom look up at Tony, absolutely startled out of their minds. It’s almost that look you give when you realise you fucked up, but this time, they haven’t fucked anything up… yet. But there’s still ample time to do that. Adrian nods his head a little bit.
“Okay… I hear you.”
He then stuck his hand out for a fist bump. Tom reciprocated, as did Tony.
“Alright… when you go out there, you think ahead to what that win can do for us. Not anything else. Understood?”
“Yes sir!”
“Good. Now, in the meantime, I got some studying to do on a certain... “Samoan Sensation” if you catch my drift.”
He smirks. He was obviously talking about his upcoming match on the Season 3 Premiere of FWA Fusion, where he will take on El Chico.
“And you…”
He pulled a VHS tape out of his bag and handed it to Adrian.
“Have some studying of your own to do, gentlemen. On your own time, though. Not tonight.”
Adrian took the tape from Tony and both Adrian and Tom shook Tony’s hand before Tony exited the locker room. We then cut back to the ring where we are met with our first match.
____________________________________________________________
“Ain’t It Fun” hits and Connie Maldoon comes out to a positive reaction and she runs down to the ring all hyper like. She slaps the hands of the fans on her way down, all the while acting as her cheerful self with a big smile on her face. She enters the ring underneath the bottom rope.
Johnny Warren: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, hailing from Dover, Delaware, weighing in at 120 lbs, CONNIE MALDOON!!!
Once in the ring, she raises her hand high above her head and smiles for the fans, before getting into her corner and waiting for her opponent. Then…
“Wretches and Kings (Undead Remix)” hits and out comes Angelique Francois. Former contender for the AXW Women’s championship. She looks down the ramp and at Connie. She then walks down the ramp, only focusing her attention to the bright young lady standing in the ring.
Johnny Warren: And her opponent, from Marieville, Quebec, Canada, weighing in at 230 lbs, ANGELIQUE FRANCOIS!!!
Upon reaching the ringside area, Angelique climbs up onto the apron, wipes her feet and steps through the ropes. She then gets into her corner and stares across the ring, eyes focused on Connie. Referee Glen Morgan pads the both of them down, checking for any foreign objects. First Connie and then Francois, before calling for the bell and this match is underway!
DING DING DING
Opening Contest:
Connie Maldoon vs. Angelique Francois
This match was a showcase, plain and simple. It was shorter, but Connie showed her ring smarts, going after Francois’s legs and trying to chop the bigger woman down bit by bit, meanwhile at every turn, Angelique would use her size to her advantage and throw her weight around quite a bit. The match ended when Francois attempted the Slice and Dice, but Connie reversed out of it, tripping Francois and taking her to the mat. She then quickly went to the top rope and tried for Frog Suit Maldoon (Frog Splash), but failed. Then, when both her and Francois were back on their feet, they both attempted their Running Knee variants (which, ironically enough, were exactly the same!) and knocked each other down hard. Then, Connie somehow found the strength to pull herself on top of Francois and cover her.

Johnny Warren: Here is your winner, Connie Maldoon!!
Referee Glen Morgan helps Connie to her feet, and raises her hand. She exits the ring, obviously not feeling right as she was just put through hell. On her way out, she slaps the hands of the fans. Upon reaching the top of the ramp, she raises her arms high in the air… but then, suddenly, she’s attacked from behind… by Alexandria Lopez! She shrugs, stating that “Hey, I gotta make an impact somehow. Even if it means beating the shit outta this noob!” Before continually stomping away at Connie. Eventually, she tries for her Finisher, the Crippler Crossface… but she’s stopped… by none other than RILEY F’N ROUSE!!! They NAIL Alexandria with the Dodecahedron (SOS), leaving her laid out on the ground. They then help Connie to her feet and raise her hand before congratulating her on her win.
____________________________________________________________
Tournament Round 1 Quick Results:
Rupert Hamish vs. Black Demon
Winner: Rupert Hamish by pinfall
The match was fairly back and forth, with Demon’s hotshot style nearly catching Rupert, until Rupert’s high flying abilities were able to save him. All it took from Rupert was one Faith, Trust, Pixie Dust (Twisted Bliss) to put The Demon away for the 3 count!
Kiran Link vs. El Flecha
Winner: Kiran Link by submission
Flecha tried his best to use his High Flying abilities and Technical Prowess to ground the Young Dragon, but Kiran wouldn’t give up and kept utilizing his power and technical abilities to ground the High Flyer. In the end, Flecha went for a Hurricanrana, but Kiran caught him and turned it into a Dragon Tamer. After a whole lot of struggling, Flecha tapped out and Kiran had his hand raised in victory.
Skyler Noah vs. T.J. Rellik
Winner: Skyler Noah by knockout
There wasn’t a whole lot to this match. T.J. tried to keep the Adonis down with his crafty tricks, but Skyler was just too damn strong and eventually, he got that Adonis Lock locked in tight, forcing T.J. to pass out.
Draco Cutler vs. Eddie Evans
Winner: Eddie Evans by disqualification
Eddie, using his ring skill, was able to keep the 99mm on his toes and avoid his dirty tactics. However, out of frustration for never being able to quite catch Eddie, Draco punched him in the nuts, in plain view of referee Glenn Morgan.
DING DING DING
But Draco wouldn’t stop, continuing to beat down on Eddie. Eventually, three more members (Tom The Butcher, Adrian Graves and Tony Randell) came out and they beat down on Eddie, too! It doesn’t stop until Solomon Graham, Rupert Hamish and Platinum Honour run down to the ring to chase them out. The Nightmare turns tail and runs back up the ramp. However, Lloyd Gustav is waiting for them at the top of the ramp, microphone in hand.
Gustav: Hold on just a second!!! That’s not how we do things in Scarborough Heritage Wrestling! You wanna come out here and administer a 4-on-1 beatdown, then so be it, but there will be consequences for your actions! Those consequences will come in the form of a 4-on-4 elimination style Tag Team match between you, and the team of Eddie Evans, Rupert Hamish and Platinum Honour! On our VERY FIRST Live event at the Scarborough Convention center on the 30th of May!
The Nightmare is absolutely pissed off!
Draco (without the mic): HOW DARE YOU, OLD MAN!!!! No!!! We’re not doing that!
Gustav: If you refuse to partake in this match, I’ll see to it that you NEVER wrestle in the Greater Toronto Area EVER again!!
Big pop from the fans but the Nightmare FLIP THE F*** OUT!!!
Gustav: Over the next month, I’ll get the contract prepared. If it is not signed by the time May 27th rolls around, then ALL FIVE of you are FIRED!!!!
From there, Gustav returns to the back, and the four members of the Nightmare follow him.
____________________________________________________________
We cut from the ring, to a cozy-looking library with a fireplace. Two chairs are next to the fireplace, seated in one chair is “The Franchise” Ian Dempsey, and seated in the other is Dempsey’s trademark “#D*ckKickCity” t-shirt. Dempsey is sporting a white suit with a black tie and he is reading a book. A book titled “The Chronicles Of The Franchise”, a book currently being written by him that chronicles in great detail, every single match/moment in his Professional Wrestling career. We can see that now, he’s at least 50 pages into this book.
DEMPSEY - Man… not even a full year in the goddamn business and already, I’ve proven myself to be talented. I’ve won championships, I’ve lasted with the best of them and better yet, I’ve beaten some of the very best that wrestling has to offer. From your Paul Wilsons, all the way down to your Leon Chants, I’ve proven that I am far superior and far more knowledgeable on how wrestling works and what it takes to get to the top.
He then looks up from his book and to his left side, smirking as soon as he does.
DEMPSEY - You want the proof…?
He then points at something to his immediate left (it’s somewhat in the shot already, but all we can really discern from it is that it’s some kind of glass case).
DEMPSEY - Lookie over here!
The camera pans to the left… and we see that it’s a case full of the few championships Dempsey’s won. The FWA Tag Team championship (his first championship ever), to the FWA Hardcore championship, to the FWA Television championship. We can also see a belt made of cardboard on the very bottom shelf, which has the phrase “DUD!” written on it, exactly like that.
DEMPSEY - Look at it. Isn’t it beautiful? That, right there, is a half-a-year’s worth of showing up to my bookings and caving in pelvises with my right foot! (Except for that piece of shit on the bottom shelf, you can ignore that).
The camera pans back over to Dempsey, who’s now looking at the camera.
DEMPSEY - So you see… championship belts and me, go together like butter on toast! And that, “Little Miss Sunshine”... is why I’m coming for that 20 lbs of Platinum called the FWA Heritage championship. See, I may be coming off a huge loss, but here’s the thing: My eyes are laser-focused on the future and what it holds in store for me, not the past. The past, as far as I’m concerned… is far behind me. But the future? That’s ahead and in my future, I see Platinum!
His eyes seem to go starry-eyed for a bit, but soon, they quickly return to their original state: Arrogance.
DEMPSEY - Ashlee LeCroix… don’t feel bad. I’ll make you deal: When I take that 20 lbs of Platinum away from you, I’ll bring you back to my hotel and give you another 20 pounds. A 20 pounds that you’ll never forget! HA HA HA HAAA!!!! I’ll see you soon, sweetheart.
He then winks at the camera and we go back to ringside.
____________________________________________________________
We cut back to ringside and we see that Jeremy Flash is already in the ring and his theme music is fading out.
Johnny Warren: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, hailing from Toronto, Canada, weighing in at 188 lbs, JEREMY FLASH!!!
The fans cheer, and Jeremy raises his right hand in the air. Then, suddenly… The lights cut to black, vile and disgusting images portraying hell flash upon the screen as we hear someone speaking in a Japanese language.
"入らせて~!"
Then "Onryo" by Jon Rob begins to play, the lights still cut from the arena as the images continue to flash upon the screen. Suddenly the music stops and appearing crouched in the corner of the ring is The Second Coming of Lucifer himself, Oni-Sama. He stays seated before popping back to his feet and leaping onto the second rope, letting the "blood" pour from his mouth.
Johnny Warren: And his opponent, from The South of Hell, weighing in at 209 lbs... ONIIIII SAAAAAAMMAAAAAA!
Oni-Sama spits the blood into the air, letting it rain down upon him before leaping back down to the mat and returning to his crouched position in the corner, staring across at his frightened opponent. He just laughs maniacally, before springing up and charging at Jeremy (at an inhuman speed), tackling him to the ground and whaling on him like a madman. Referee Mark Hill calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
Jeremy Flash vs. Oni-Sama
This one was over before it even began. Oni-Sama would not stop kicking the crap outta Jeremy. It was not until Jeremy tried to fight back, that Oni stopped… but even then, it was to mock Jeremy, as Jeremy’s offense did no damage and showed no signs of phasing him. Then, it was over. He hit him with the 座礁死 (Death Stranding - Wristlock transitioned into a Short Arm Bicycle Knee Strike) and it was over.

Warren: Here is your winner, ONI-SAMA!!!!
From there, the lights went out in the arena. When they came back up, both Jeremy and Oni-Sama were both gone.
____________________________________________________________
Tournament Semi-Final Round Quick Results:
Rupert Hamish vs. Kiran Link
Winner: Kiran Link by pinfall
This match was very evenly paced. For everything Rupert did, Kiran had a counter. For everything Kiran did, Rupert had a counter. It all came to a head when, almost out of nowhere, Kiran gets Rupert in the Wristlock position, before pushing him out and NAILING him with the Money Maker (Rainmaker with the pose, too!), managing to pin Rupert’s shoulders to the mat.
Skyler Noah vs. Eddie Evans
Winner: Skyler Noah by knockout
While Eddie was certainly capable of keeping Skyler at bay (as proven in this match), Skyler’s strength and speed advantage was simply too much for Eddie and eventually, he passed out to the Adonis Lock.
____________________________________________________________
Ed Justice is already in the ring, but you can see on his face that he’s out for revenge for what happened at Reckless Warzone, when Tom The Butcher and Tony Randell showed up after his match and beat the shit outta him and his opponent. He yelled up the ramp...
“GET OUT HERE YOU SONS OF BITCHES!!!! I’M GONNA KICK YOUR ASSES FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME!!!”
Johnny Warren: The following contest is a Tornado 2-on-1 Handicap match! Introducing first, from New Egypt, New Jersey, weighing in at 187 lbs, ED JUSTICE!!!
After about ten seconds of silence and keeping Ed waiting… “Die Motherfucka (Still)” hit and out came the team of Adrian Graves and Tom The Butcher, accompanied by Tony Randell. Tony raised his arms high in the air. The three of them then walk down to the ring, getting booed out the building. The three men stop, looking around at the audience… but they ignore it, just proceeding down to the ring as usual.
Johnny Warren: And his opponents, being accompanied by Tony Randell, wrestling out of Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at a combined weight of 440 lbs… Adrian Graves; Tom The Butcher… THE AMERICAN NIGHTMARE!!!!!
At that point, Adrian and Tom run down to the ring and slide in under the bottom rope, quickly getting up and beginning the beatdown on Justice! Referee Glen Morgan calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
The American Nightmare vs. Ed Justice
Tornado Rules Handicap Match
2-on-1
This one was off the fucking charts! The two members of the American Nightmare were somehow working as a team. Several Double Team maneuvers and several trademark maneuvers of their own (For example, a Dropkick from Adrian, a Spinebuster from Tom, and they’d end the sequence with a Double Elbow Drop).
The true highlight of the match would come when Ed Justice somehow managed to wrangle control of the match away from the Nightmare, sending Tom The Butcher to the outside of the ring, and getting Adrian Graves all to himself. Downfall after Downfall after Downfall after Downfall. Each time, Adrian somehow escaped a loss (whether it was interference from Tony or Adrian somehow mustering up the strength to get the shoulder up in the nick of time). The last time he attempted the pin, Tom The Butcher had come back to and interrupted the pinfall.
The end came when Ed tried to fight against both of them, but they used their ring smarts to get their hands on him and nailed him with Goodbye!!! (Tom lifts the opponent up in a Flapjack like position, while Graves leaps onto the top rope and NAILS a Springboard Leaping Reverse STO, and Tom lets go, letting the opponent crash to the mat) and Adrian went for the cover, with Tom putting both of his hands on Adrian’s back.

DING DING DING
Warren: Here are your winners, The American Nightmare!!!
Tom and Adrian got up, and Tony got into the ring. He raised their hands in victory and then the three of them exited the ring. Meanwhile, Ed Justice was face planted on the mat, where Glen Morgan was checking on him. He checked Ed and… he seemed to be okay. He tried to help Ed to his feet, but Ed shoved him away and quickly exited the ring, moving quickly up the ramp and back through the curtain. They took a moment to clear up the ringside area before moving on.
We cut to the backstage area, where we follow Ed Justice to the back. He moves very gingerly, obviously in a lot of pain. He makes his way towards one of the changing rooms. Once he reaches the door, he opens it and goes inside. It’s totally empty aside from one thing: A suitcase next to a chair. Justice walks up to the chair, sits down in it and begins to unlace his boots. We pan over to see Tony Randell in the doorway, one arm behind his back. He waits a little bit… before tapping on the door with his bent finger. Three times. Almost like he’s knocking.
“Hello Ed. May I?”
Justice looks up. It got his attention… but he doesn’t seem too pleased to see Tony, especially not after what transpired in the ring. He simply sneers at Tony before looking back down and continuing to unlace his boots.
“What do you want?!”
Tony sighs while still smirking. He walks into the room, this time with both hands behind his back.
“I saw you out there. The way you fought back against Graves… brother, that was fire!!”
“Bullshit… there’s no way you actually like what I did out there! You're lying to butter me up, aren't you?! You'd never say that about me, especially in regards to "ya boi" Graves!”
Tony pauses to ponder what was just said… before shrugging.
“Ehh. You got a point there. Graves is Mah $%^&*. However… allow me to propose a counter argument…”
He walks over to Ed, placing a left hand on Ed’s right shoulder, while keeping the other one behind his back.
“That match did serve a double purpose, but it wasn’t to replace anybody, if that’s what you think. Nah. Instead, think of it as… an initiation. Yes, for Graves and Tom, but also… for you. Ed, I’m here to offer you a position within the American Nightmare!”
He then brings his hands out in front of him once again and he is holding… a red megaphone. It catches Justice’s eye. He hasn’t seen that thing in a little while.
“Be our advocate, Ed! Be the Voice of The American Nightmare! Because fuck man, if you bring the fire you showed out there tonight… brotha, you are gonna elevate ALL of us!”
Justice stares at the megaphone in Tony’s hand, seemingly entranced by it.
“We can give you a purpose. A reason to get outta bed in the morning. Just do what you do best and that’s talk a mile a minute!”
Justice seems to ponder it.
“Speak on our behalf, Justice. You’re not that great at wrestling anyways, but you can go for hours on end and STILL keep those muthafuckas in the audience hooked!”
Justice attempts to speak, but stumbles over his words.
“Hmm…? I’m afraid you’re gonna have to stop mumbling, kid.”
Finally, Ed composes himself.
“H-How did you get that?! Dempsey keeps that under lock and key!”
“Not anymore, that pansy-ass don’t!”
Justice continues to stare at it… before looking up at Tony with a serious expression on his face.
“I’ll think about it. Now, get the hell outta here so I can get changed in peace!”
Ed then looks back down at his boots and continues to untie them and eventually, he removes one of them. Tony smiles and slaps Ed on the back before starting to make his exit.
“That’s all I wanted to hear, Ed! Think it over, and when you’re done thinking it over, gimme a call. You have my number.”
He leaves the red megaphone on the table and walks through the doorway. He slams it behind him as he exits. From there, Justice looks back up at the megaphone. He stops what he’s doing and reaches for it. He picks it up off the table… and smirks at it. It’s here where we cut back to ringside.
____________________________________________________________
“Unforgettable” by Nicholas Hill / Glenn Herweijer / Ben Sumner kicks in and out walks Lincoln Alexander, dressed in shiny black pants over wrestling tights, boots and pads that come up to his knees and his cool guy leather jacket and blacked out shades. His hair is perfectly quaffed, not a single piece out of place. He Popped the collar on his jacket and looked around the arena and smirked at the fans and their various chants as he swagged himself down to the ring.
Johnny Warren: The following contest scheduled for one fall is a No. 1 Contendership match to the SHW Openweight championship!! Introducing first, from Toronto, Canada, weighing in at 195 lbs, he is LINCOLN “ACE” AAAAALEEEEEXANDER!!!!!!
He took a moment to scope out a pretty girl at ringside and let her kiss him on the cheek. He smirked after the kiss and he ran the rest of the way, belly sliding into the ring, skidding to a stop in the center and ending in a pose like this: (https://i.ibb.co/tzwT9Tn/Linc.jpg). He got up and leaned against the corner, before kicking both of his feet up on the top rope Eddie G style, waiting for his opponent. For approx. ten seconds, no one was seen coming through that curtain. Eventually, Linc mockingly checked his imaginary watch, before looking up and shooting Referee Mark Hill a confused look. “Where the hell is he?!” Mark Hill responded with a shrug, clearly not knowing what to say. But then…
“Kashmir” hits and out came Lyle Graham, Jr. He stopped just in front of the entrance curtain and we could see that he was not dressed to wrestle aside from some black hockey tape on his wrists. Ace looked down, annoyed that he had to fight another face from the past, just to get a shot at the Openweight title. Lyle looked down the ramp and smirked at Linc.
Johnny Warren: And his opponent, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, weighing in at 245 lbs, he is the “Alberta Asskicker”... LYLE GRAHAM JUUUUUUNIOOOORRR!!!!!
From there, Lyle wasted no more time and ran down to the ring, sliding in underneath the bottom rope and he got up. Immediately, Linc sprang into action, leaping off the top turnbuckle and the two came to blows. Referee Mark Hill called for the bell and the match-up was underway.
DING DING DING
Lincoln Ace Alexander vs. Lyle Graham Jr.
This match was a slobberknocker to say the very least. Lyle brawled his heart out and even managed to keep the young rookie grounded, but Linc wouldn’t give up and he used his innovative offense (such as several Corkscrew Enziguris, many 450 Hurricanranas and many a Devastation Hook Kick) and would try to take out the old man.
The true highlight of this match came when Lyle tried to lock in the Cobra Clutch and submit Linc, but Linc, while fighting to escape it, managed to flip him overhead and NAILED him with a Double Foot Stomp! He went for the pin, but Lyle just barely managed to get his foot on the bottom rope and save himself.
From there, Ace tried to get Lyle to his feet to finish it, but Lyle thumbed him in the eyes and tried to throw him between his legs and lift him for a Leaping Piledriver, but Ace reversed and NAILED Lyle with a Driver of his own. Namely, the Ace In The Whole (Package Bloody Sunday Driver), and he went for the pin immediately after.

Winner (and NEW No. 1 Contender to the SHW Openweight championship): Lincoln Alexander by pinfall
Linc exited the ring, quickly going back up the ramp and slapping the hands of the fans of the hands on his way to the back as we cut to a commercial break.
____________________________________________________________
This is a very strange commercial. It centers around... Champoon Wrasslin's own... GRIMACE JR.! And his restaurant! In fact... he's in the restaurant... but wait, didn't he get kidnapped and tied up?! Shouldn't he be in a basement somewhere?! Either way, he's here now and it seems like he's in his restaurant.
"Eyy yo chico! Do Ju like Cheeseburger... and... BURRITO, mang?!?! Well then... ju come to Grimace Jr.'s, chico! The only place to get quality cheeseburger and (say it with me now)..."
The camera pans out and now, Grimace is surrounded by men, women and children, all of whom yell out in unison with him...
"BURRITO!!!"
"And sometimes Cheeseburger Burrito and Burrito Cheeseburger!"
Grimace Jr.'s! Officially endorsed by the Fullmetal Wrestling Alliance (and Vinnie Mack)!
From there, we cut back to ringside.
____________________________________________________________
Johnny Warren, SHW's official ring announcer, is seen standing in the ring.
Johnny Warren: The following contest is your Main Event of the evening and is for the SHW OPENWEEEEIIIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
The fans pop. Then, "Immortal" by 21 Savage plays from the speakers and once we hear a lady screaming and the beat dropping, Kiran Link comes out to a nice pop from the fans. Wayne Graham and Ava Cannon right behind him. Kiran jogs in front of the curtains while listening to motivational words from both Ava and Wayne before he runs to the ring.
Johnny Warren: Introducing first, from Secaucus, New Jersey, weighing in at 220 lbs… “Half Man, Half Dragon” KIIIIIRAAAAAN LIIIIIINK!!!!
He slides into the the ring, Edge style before running to the ropes a couple of times while Wayne brags about how good Kiran's cardio is. Ava shares one last advice to Kiran Link before they do their secret handshake that they only know of.
“Yin Yang” by USS played in “The Adonis” Skylar Noah, who stopped at the top of the ramp and did his muscly armed pose, which gets a fairly small reaction from the audience. It’s clear that people don’t care too much for Skyler and don’t exactly want him to win this (despite the fact that he tries his absolute best to appeal to the people, calling them an Amazing Crowd and stating that it’s good to be in Scarborough).
Johnny Warren: And his opponent, from The Heavenly Skies, weighing in at 276 lbs… “The Adonis” SKYLER NOOOOAAAAH!!!!
Skylar reached the ring and immediately climbed the ringsteps, wiping his feet on the mat before stepping through the ropes. Kiran talked quite a bit of trash, even when Glen Morgan was checking them both for foreign objects. After he checked them both, he called for the bell.
DING DING DING
And this matchup was underway!
Tournament Finals (Main Event):
Skyler Noah vs. Kiran Link
The two men locked up and immediately, Skyler took Kiran with a Headlock… only for Kiran to reverse it and take Skyler off his feet and down to the mat. He then proceeded to whale on the big man before taking him into a Boston Crab. Skyler SCREAMED in agony as Kiran continued to apply pressure to the hold. Eventually, Skyler used his raw strength to power out of the hold and then tried to grab Kiran in a Front Facelock… but Kiran managed to escape and lock him in a Front Facelock of his own. It was one that was almost enough to make poor Skyler pass out… which he nearly did after he’d been in the Facelock. Referee Glen Morgan checked him, lifting his arm… and it went limp.
1.
He lifted it again… and it went limp.
2.
He lifted the arm again and… It went li---NO!!! Skyler awoke at the very last second! Skyler slowly rose to his feet, eventually PUNCHING Kiran in the stomach and knocking the wind out of him! Glen warned him to open the fist, but Skyler wouldn’t listen as he kept punching Kiran in the stomach. He then headbutted him with a force that sent him down to the mat, and Skyler went for the pin.
1.
2---NO!!! Kiran got the shoulder up!
Skyler grabbed him by the head and tried to lock him in the Adonis Lock (Masterlock)... but Kiran managed to get out of it before Skyler could properly lock it in, going behind and going after the legs, trying again to lock in the Boston Crab, but once again, Skyler powered out of it, getting up and wrapping his giant (boulder-sized) pythons around Kiran’s waist, NAILING a series of 12 PUNISHING German Suplexes, bridging it into a pinfall.
1.
2.
NO!!! Kiran rolled out!
Kiran quickly got to his feet, and Skyler to one knee, only for Kiran to NAIL him with a Knee Strike! Skyler was stunned, and on that Kiran capitalized by NAILING him with the Penalty Kick and going for the pin.
1.
2.
3---NO!!! Skyler kicked out at 2.9!
Kiran then grabbed Skyler by the throat, teasing to the crowd that he was going for… DRAGON’S LINK...NO!!!! Skyler caught his thumb and… HE’S BITTEN IT!! He’s bitten his thumb and Kiran was flailing in pain… but then, just then… Skyler pulled him in for a short-arm Release German Suplex! Kiran got up and ran right into a Belly-To-Belly, and Skyler went for the pin once more!
1.
2---NO!!! Kiran just managed to get the shoulder up.
Skyler picked him up and once again tried for the Adonis Lock, only for Kiran to reverse it and try for a Money Maker (Rainmaker) but Skyler hooked his arm and once again tried to lock him in the Adonis Lock… AND HE SUCCEEDS THIS TIME!!!
Skyler kept that hold locked in very tightly, REFUSING to let go until Kiran passed out. Kiran continued to fight, kicking at Skyler, trying to wriggle out of it, but Skyler refused to let him go and kept constantly lifting him off the ground and letting his legs kick the air at nothing. Eventually, Kiran started to fade, trying his best to fight it, but continually falling back into his deep slumber. Glen Morgan checked to see if he really was out, lifting the arm… and it fell limp.
1
He lifted the arm once more and… it fell limp by Kiran’s side.
2.
He lifted the arm one last time and… it falls. That’s it. It’s over.
3!!!
DING DING DING
Johnny Warren: Here is your winner, AND THE NEEEW… SHW OPENWEIGHT CHAMPIOOON… SKYLER NOAH!!!!!
As “Yin Yang” played throughout the University auditorium and Skyler was handed the SHW Openweight championship, out came Lincoln Alexander. While Lincoln didn’t exactly have words for the champ, he did have thoughts as he got into the ring and cussed him out. He stated that...
“I’ve beaten you before, it won’t be any trouble beating you again!”
Skyler smiled and responded, stating that...
“The only reason you beat me is because I didn’t lock you in the Adonis Lock. If I had, it would’ve been game over. No contract for you. Nada.”
The two get in each other’s face and Skyler raises the Openweight belt high above his head.
“You think you can beat me again…? Try it when the title’s on the line. Bitch!”
And it is this very image, that of “ACE” Alexander and Skyler Noah, coming face to face with the belt raised high above Skyler’s head, that closes the show.
