Battleground #40 : The Heat is On! (Show)

[SWAT Team]

[Earlier today appears on the screen then we see outside the PPG Paints Arena. Pittsburgh. PA. An unmarked van pulls up and the back door opens and we see Donzig. He boots a masked man out the back door.]

Donzig : Bye, Felicia!

Remember what we discussed now!

[The doors swings shut and the van drives off and people rush to the masked man. They remove his hood and it is a beaten and battered Jeremy Tucker. He looks real worse for wear and Road Agent James Fierce approaches him.]

James Fierce : Jerry! Are you ok?

Jeremy Tucker : I …. I don’t want to talk about it.

James Fierce : What the hell happened?

Jeremy Tucker : I’d rather not go into it. Where are we?

James Fierce : Pittsburgh.

Jeremy Tucker : What happened at the Memorial?

James Fierce : Webber filled in for you.

Jeremy Tucker : Webber?

James Fierce : Yeah. Did quite well too. I think we better get you to the doc, he can cover tonight also.

Jeremy Tucker : Tonight?

James Fierce : BG 40.

Jeremy Tucker : Over my dead body!

James Fierce : You are in no condition to host the show.

Jeremy Tucker : I got this. Just give me a few minutes to freshen up.

James Fierce : No chance. First we need the medic to look you over and then ...

Jeremy Tucker : And then I WILL BE DOING MY JOB AND CALLING THE ACTION! Like hell will Warren Webber ever replace ME again.

[SWAT Team]

Syndicate Wrestling & Tradition and the XHF presents ....

Jeremy Tucker : Welcome! Welcome to Pittsburgh! Welcome to Battleground! WELCOME TO SWAT!!!!

Andrew Fulton : Jerry? Where have you been?

Jeremy Tucker : It’s not about me Andrew. It's about our great SWAT Superstars and all of our terrific fans out there.

Andrew Fulton : It damn sure IS about US! Where the hell have you been? I had to work with Webber last week. WEBBER!

Jeremy Tucker : And I would like to thank him for filling in for me. It means a lot.

Andrew Fulton : What did that maniac do to you?

Jeremy Tucker : You don’t want to know. What a night it was just gone for the Memorial. (looks at his notes) Eddie retained the World belt in an epic encounter with Frostbite. Valentine defeated Suit and kept his freedom intact! Way to go Jonnie also earning a shot at Eddie and the World belt tonight!

Andrew Fulton : Freedom is the right of every man. (mocking Jerry now)

Jeremy Tucker : (ignoring him) Rally reigned supreme in his Iron Man Rib Off with Kieth and now they hook up in the ring.

Andrew Fulton : You are thankful to have missed that one, they wrought havoc on everyone and their dogs.

Jeremy Tucker : The innocent always suffer. We saw a new Amazons Champion Crowned as Joanne Canelli defeated Isabel Rios. We also saw NEW Tag Team Champions Crowned as Team Fairtex captured the gold for a Third Time! And Devon D’Andre continued his winning ways and retained his US Title.

Andrew Fulton : Was quite the night.

Jeremy Tucker : And tonight looms to be just as big. We got lots of action coming your way … so …. Let’s get some words from our SWAT Superstars …..

[Jerry grabs a bottle of water and gulps it down as we fade.]

# FLASHBACK TO LAST WEEK SHOW #

We pick up right after the five star match that was put on by the current SWAT World Champion, Eddie D and Frostbite. Eddie D puts Frostbite shoulders on the mat for the three count as the ref hands him the title as he slides out of the ring as he looks back into the ring at a bloody and beaten Frostbite, Eddie D himself looks a little worse for the wear himself maybe in worse condition than Frostbite, but nevertheless he holds onto the title as the blood is pouring down his face he looks at the title and then once again back at Frostbite who is laying in the middle of the ring not even moving. Eddie D turns his back to Frostbite has he holds the title high over his head with his blood just pouring from his face and onto the floor. Eddie D pulls the title down as he looks at it as a drop of blood is put onto the title within that small drop of blood, we look back into the ring as Frostbite has gotten to his feet with more blood dripping down his face and onto the mat. He looks at Eddie with an intense look in his blue eyes as he runs his fingers through his short blonde hair with an disgusted look on his face.

Frostbite: Why are you doing this to me my love? Why are you breaking my heart like this? I love you, please come back to me.

The cameras catch Eddie at the top of the entrance as he holds the belt high once again over his head as the fans are cheering him on as this makes Frostbite even madder if that just might be possible because he knows that he just came up short of not getting a chance to hold his true love finally. But in that quick instance, Frostbite turns his back toward the entrance as he jumps out to the floor.

Frostbite: I told you morons if I did not leave here with my love, I was going to burn this place to the ground. I am going to make that happen right now?

Some of the fans and those close to ringside hear Frostbite words as they begin to quickly flee ringside and knock over a few people on there way out of the arena. Frostbite hops overs a guard rail as he starts to head to the left side of the entrance as Eddie D is gone now and more than likely going to get his wounds checked out. Frostbite furious as he is trying his best to get out of the arena and do what he has set out to do. He pushes a few fans that are leaving to the floor as he gets to the entrance he even grabs a few equipment people and tosses him them around as he storms around backstage area as he is approached by a couple of backstage hands as they are trying to get things onto the trucks and load them up and head to the next show, well in the meantime he tosses a few around as well. He makes a beeline right to the exit, as he tosses open the large gray door. You can certainly smell gas in the air because of what Texas Pete did earlier in the show, by pouring gas tanks all around the arena. Frostbite with even a more intense look in his blue eyes, looks around as if he is trying to find something. He walks over to a some bushes just right outside the door as he puts his right hand behind them as he pulls out a lighter. Maybe Texas Pete might have planted that earlier. Frostbite with a wicked grin across his lips as his blue eyes are about to bulge in the back of his head. He is about to light it up, but suddenly a large hand reaches from behind his left shoulder and pulls the lighter away from him. Frostbite spins around as he sees the big man known as Bruno is right behind him.

Frostbite: What is the meaning of this Bruno? I told the world that I was going to burn this bitch to the ground if I did not leave here without her.

Frostbite puts out his hands as if to tell Bruno to give it back to him, but the big man shakes his head no.

Frostbite: Damn, Bruno you are making me out to be a liar here. She should have been mine. Do you know how much, I care for her? Do you know how much I want her? Do you know how much I need her? Because without her I have become nothing?

Bruno tosses the lighter up against the building as he breaks into a few pieces to the point that he can not be use which is probably a good thing because Frostbite was more than likely going to go through with his plan.

Frostbite: Maybe I can find some sticks and rub them together and start a fire.

Bruno grabs Frostbite by his right arm as he leans into his into his left ear as he says something to him.

Frostbite: What do you mean somebody has called the fire and police department because of what I said earlier. Bruno, I will burn this entire city to the damn ground you know I will. Maybe I should go back inside and find Eddie and set his ass on fire and then take my woman. You know I have a lighter in my locker inside right?

Bruno grabs Frostbite by his right arm once again, as he does so, we hear sirens off in the distance as they appear to be heading toward the arena. Bruno once again leans over and whispers something into his left ear, as Frostbite nods his head.

Frostbite: Maybe you are right. I guess we need to get out of here. I have a great lawyer, but I do not really know if she could really get me off the hook for burning an entire worthless ass city to the ground.

Bruno let's go of his right arm as he nods to Frostbite.

Frostbite: You are right there will be another day, and trust me I will chase my love to the end of the earth. She turned me down today but she cannot go too much longer without me. She needs me, because she knows that I will make her even more famous than she ever can be. I will make her such a huge star, beyond her wildness dreams. She really believe that Eddie D or anybody else can make her.

HELL NO!!!

They say behind every great man there is a great woman. Well Bruno, she needs a great man behind her and that is nobody in that locker room that can hold a candle to me. That bitch is going to learn that I can do that for her.

We see several fire trucks and police cars pulling up to the arena, in the meantime Frostbite and Bruno are standing there watching them pulling up, until a long black limo pulls right in front of them as Frostbite pulls open the passenger side door as Bruno quickly gets in as Frostbite jumps in right behind him as he shuts the door right behind him. Inside the limo we see Texas Pete, looks back the two.

Texas Pete: Where to?

Frostbite: Back to the hotel, and grab our bags and get out of this damn town.

Texas Pete puts his foot on the gas as the limo speeds away from the arena as the fire trucks and police car are in full force surrounded the building as the three are go of there in a hurry as if they have robbed a bank as the limo pulls off into the night.

# Pittsburgh #

We see Warren Webber back at his usually post if you will. Warren is going to do the unthinkable as he is going to try and get some words with Frostbite and certainly good luck with that because we are sure that he cannot be in the best of moods after coming up short again in his quest to win over his baby. Warren is walking around backstage as he is trying to find Frostbite, as it appears he is walking around forever, and cannot find him, Warren leans into his ear piece as if someone is saying something to him. Warren looking quite well dress this evening wearing a black and white suit with black shoes. Warren suddenly gets that eyes bulging in the back of his head look as whatever he was told, he quickly rushes around as he is hurrying up to try and go where ever he is needed, now he is not breaking the speed of light with the way he is moving, but nevertheless he races until he comes upon the buffet table that the founder of this company has laid out and it is quite a nice spread, plenty of meats, some shrimp, fruit and vegetable trays, and even a tray of cookies. But Warren is not looking at the food on the table he is looking at the three bodies that are on the floor. He looks up as he suddenly spots Frostbite who is not in his ring gear, he has on a blue tee shirt with blue jeans and standing right next to him with his arms folded is Bruno.

Frostbite: The nerve of some damn people around here. When we want to eat we are going to do so. Just who in the hell, do this idiots believe that they are?

Frostbite walks over to one of the gentlemen laying on the floor as hit a curve stomp on him as you can hear the sound of his head hit the floor as if someone just tossed a watermelon onto the floor and it shattered everywhere.

Frostbite: Bruno, I believe you wanted something to eat.

The big man grabs the platter full of meats and then reaches over and grabs the platter of shrimp as he pushes that into the platter with the meats. Frostbite quickly spots Warren and shakes his head.

Frostbite: Warren, you really believe this is a great time to talk to me, you stupid ass. I do not have time tonight. I have laid out these morons and I have no problem making you the next victim.

Frostbite is about to walk over to Warren as it appears that he just might live up to that promise but Bruno sticks out his huge right arm as to hold Frostbite back.

Frostbite: I want to have some more fun, but I get it, save it for the ring later on.

Frostbite reaches over and grabs a shrimp from the platter and eats one.

Frostbite: Last week, you can thank this man for you not being burned alive because I was going to do so. I know Warren, you are going tp point out that I came up short once again. If you say something, I will forget that Bruno is holding me back and I will set you on fire right now. Matter of fact do not say a damn word, because I have plenty to say. You see these three idiots that are laying on the ground, well Warren, I plan on leaving more and more bodies on the floor, I guess you can say there will be a trail of bodies and blood and fire along the way. This will continue to happen until she is mine. Eddie made a huge mistake by stealing my love once again from me. I hope does defeat Johnnie this evening because I want to be the one that takes her from Eddie. He knows he was about to lose, hell I was kicking his ass for most of the match and any moron including you could see that. But you see, Warren, my love is simply playing hard to get. I can respect, but my love better be very careful because the wait in the end could not be worth it. Any woman with the right frame of mind should know Warren, if you do not treat your man well, then they can always find someone else.

Frostbite pulls one of the men off the floor as he tosses them across the room or so it seems to be the case.

Frostbite: Now tonight, myself and Armand or not in the best of moods which is not a good for our opponents which happen to be Death Trap and Lucky Linda. Myself and Armand know that Team Fairtex became three time champs and since we have not received our rematch yet, I guess this match could very well be a step in that direction. Now Lucky Linda has been in this company for years and she is consider the heart of the company or so it is being said. I guess tonight, I will break the company heart by breaking Linda in half because she will end up on the floor like the rest of these idiots. Linda it does not matter who stands in my way because one way or the other my love will be mind and you are simply victim here.

Death Trap you have been a thorn in the side of the KGB for quite awhile. I know inside the walls of the XHF who believe you are somebody. You have done this and that. But you made a huge mistake by getting into our business and as I told Linda you will find yourself in the same damn boat as these morons. However you, I look forward to getting into the ring with, I am sure Armand wants a small piece of you and he will get him some, but you Death Trap I really like to see what can do against me. I am sure you have heard it all before.

"You have never step in the ring with anything like me."

Tonight, those words are going to ring quite loud in your ears because there is really nothing like me. You are going to feel the wrath of God strike down on you. There will be no mercy, when you get into the ring with me, I will burn your ass alive and you can take that message back to other outsiders nobody messes with the KGB and nobody better cross my damn path.

Frostbite reaches into his pocket as he pulls out a lighter.

Frostbite: As I have already stated and I will continue to say. I will torch every single soul and everything thing, until my baby, my love is finally in my arms.

He lights it as he throws it on the table as the table is going up in flames.

Frostbite: Lord have some mercy on your souls because I will not.

Frostbite and Bruno walk off as we see the water sprinkles are going off trying to put on the fire, as the scene ends.

[Donzig]

The lights inside of the PPG Arena went down, and then bursts of flame leapt into the air before the lights came up a garish red. 'See You Soon' thundered across the speakers, and jets of flame lit the entrance way as the crowd burst into cheers. Sinclair Godfrey walked from the back, pausing at the top of the ramp before she spread her coat before her arms lifted. The fans in Pittsburgh ate it up, erupting in cheers as she nodded with a smirk. 

Fulton: This hometown crowd is on fire for the Pride of SWAT!

Tucker: .....

A pause, and then she tilted her head with a spreading smile. And Donzig stalked from the back, hood thrown back to expose his skull like mask which had a black and gold Terrible Towel tied around the lower half like a bandit's mask. He tilts his head, looking down at the XHF Trios belt dangling from his grasp before he lifted it into the air over his head. The fans chanted his name, and Donzig nodded before he dropped the belt to his shoulder. He and the Baroness of the KGB headed for the ring, and along the ramp you could see a large number of them were sporting Donzig masks (available from ShopSWAT.com). Donzig paused before the announcer's table staring at Tucker and Fulton for a long moment, as Sinclair grinned at them. Then he shrugged, slowly climbing the stairs before he stepped into the ring with Sinclair following.

Donzig stood there, seeming bemused by the cheering crowd before he crossed the ring to climb the turnbuckle. He held the belt out, nodding before he leapt down to cross the ring once more. He held the belt up again, then walked to the center of it before he reached up to slowly draw off his mask. He hissed, nodding slowly before he handed the mask to the grinning Sinclair. He adjusted the belt on his shoulder, and paced slowly before he motioned for Salazar to throw him a mic.

'Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.' Donzig paused, watching the crowd before he continued. 'PPG Arena!'

Donzig paused again, licking his lips as he slowly started to pace back and forth. He shrugged his leather clad shoulders, and the mic was lifted again with a faint grin. 

'Oblivion is here!'

Fulton: These Pittsburgh fans are insane.


The fans cheered, chanting again as Donzig shrugged to the smiling Sinclair. He nodded to the fans, walking in a slow circle before his hand lifted to gesture vaguely before returning to the Trios title on his shoulder. A sniff, and he casts a look at the announcers. He gave a wicked grin, and chuckled that raspy laugh of his as he pointed. 'Mister Fulton. As the Hand of Doom once again walks the scorched earth of the Steel City? I am going to overlook your little outburst from earlier. But you should know what happens if you cross me. If not? Ask Tucker, eh?'

Tucker: ....yeah.

Donzig tilted his head, starting to pace again as the fans slowly settled down for the moment. Then he lifted the mic, shrugging with the belt before he growled. 'Tonight, the City of Champions will witness a coronation! That coronation will be of a new SWAT television Champion! Because as much as I like Osland? It's time for the Bandit King to lay claim more gold, it is time for the KGB to once again rise! You see last week was a very hit or miss affair wasn't it?'

A glance to Sinclair who stood there, cradling the mask in her arm as she nodded slowly. Her smile fading slightly, and Donzig grunted as he turned back to the crowd. 

Fulton: Did you see the slime? They got slimed!

Tucker: No, I missed that.

'Despite our setbacks.' And Donzig paused as a few fans started to chant for Death Trap before being booed down by the loyal hometown fans. He hissed into the mic, eyes narrowing as he shook his head. Then he shrugged, lifting his head to continue. 'Death Trap, eh? Well, even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes. Even the fucking Browns sometimes win a goddamned game, eh? But don't worry, I am sure DT will get his soon enough.'

A mixed reaction from the crowd, and Donzig shrugs.

'Tonight, I will remind this company! I will remind the entire XHF! Why the KGB are to be feared, I will show them that despite our minor annoyances!'

Fulton: Minor? The loss of the World Title? The loss of the tag belts? 

Tucker: .....

Donzig continued with a wave of his hand, lips pressed into a grim line. 'That the Kross Global Bandits are a force to be reckoned with, and I will show them that by defeating the Revenants' very own Osland Oxford. And maybe, just maybe, after I relieve him of his gold? He will get his fucking personal life settled. And speaking of the loss of gold?'

Donzig tilted his head, a hand lifting to drag through his wild beard before he flashed a grin. 'Well, I hate to be that guy. I hate to come out here and say I told you so.'

A pause.

'I fucking told you so!' He roared, his voice rising to a scream. And he paused, taking a deep breath as the crowd ate it up. Sinclair laughed, as Donzig waved a hand as he started to pace again. His voice cold and mocking, and he shakes his head as his hand rises and fails in agitation. 'That fucking bear and the baby dinosaur? And their dick and poo poo jokes? Yeah, that reign lasted a whole fifteen minutes, eh? You really showed us, boys.'

Donzig paused, snorting as he shrugged to the still laughing Sinclair. 'Empty Night, am I glad that is over.'

Tucker: A lot of disrespect for the former tag team champions from Donzig.

Fulton: Well, he doesn't seem to have a sense of humor.

Tucker: Did Keith tell you that? Donzig blames that all on Keith.

Donzig ate up the oddly mixed reaction from the fans. Many of them seemed to agree with Donzig, and the rest were not at all laughing. Donzig nodded at that, and he again raked his fingers through his beard before he paused by the corner. He stared out over the crowd, his smile fading slightly before he lifted his head with a cold gleam in his eyes. The good humor of the hometown reaction seeming to fade in an instant, and he licked his lips before he brought the mic up.

'Now for something completely different.' Donzig intoned, and he reached out to reclaim his mask from Sinclair. He tugged it back into place, and he took a deep breath before he spat. Then he started to speak, handing the Trios belt to his disciple. 

'I want to address the people in the South, I want to address the people of NLW.' The fans gave a mixed pop, and Donzig waved a hand absently as he started to pace. 'NLW thinks they dodged a bullet, NLW thinks they have managed to escape my grasp, NLW thinks they have spared themselves the touch of the Void!'

His head tilted, and he sniffed before he shook his head.

'No, no, no.' He took a deep breath, and then his voice rose to a scream. 'Next Level Wrestling has only bought themselves time! Next Level Wrestling has only staved off the inevitable! Because the Harbinger of Death is still coming, the Bandit King is still coming, and I am still here! So they think they have managed to avoid Donzig? They think they have escaped Donzig? But no, no. They haven't!'

Now the crowd was squarely cheering for Donzig as they were if nothing else faithful to SWAT. And Donzig paced the ropes, leaning on them as he glared at the camera as he stared from under his mask. 

'NLW and their little leaders have only bought themselves a few sleepless nights! Because I am inevitable, eh? The Pride of SWAT is still here, boys.' Donzig nodded, and he tilted his masked head as he took a deep breath. His voice dropping back to it's normal growl as he waved a hand. 'I know you, and your little band of miscreants only feel relief that I am not coming there yet! But Donzig goes where, where Donzig wants! I am the Conqueror, eh? Bandit fucking king, eh? Death in High Places! And you will be seeing me soon, I promise you that!'

Fulton: Strong words from the Pride of SWAT! 

Tucker: Maybe he can stay in the South!

The fans cheered, and a SWAT chant erupted as Donzig slid back from the ropes. He started to pace again, shoulders rolling as he glared from under that skull like visage. He hissed, the mic lifting.

'NLW made the safe choice, they made the easy choice! They made the only fucking choice they could!' Donzig paused, and he raked a hand across the mask before he continued as his voice dropped again. 'And that choice is Dylan Black!'

The name was spat, and the fans gave mixed cheers as everyone loves Dylan, right? Donzig nodded, and he waved a hand. 'Dylan Black is a lion, he is a warrior, and he is a great Champion. But what Dylan is not?'

Fulton: Insane?

Tucker: Shut up, Fulton.

Donzig lifted a hand, and Sinclair nodded as she adjusted the Trios belt she held before Donzig continued. 'Is motherfucking Donzig! So listen up, Dylan! You may have won this day, and you may have dodged a bullet in Philadelphia, eh? Thanks to Isabel Rios!'

A pause, and Donzig looked back to Sinclair. 'Whatever happened to her anyhow?'

The Baroness shrugged, and the fans laughed.

'But Dylan Black, much like NLW? You are on borrowed time, the Void has whispered your name! So count your days, friend.'

Donzig paused, and the fans were still chanting for SWAT as he took his title back from Sinclair. He placed it on his shoulder again, rolling his shoulder before he circled the ring once more. Then a hand lifts, waving arrogantly as he tilted his masked head. 'And if anyone in NLW, doesn't like it? I am not hard to find am I?'

The mic is flipped towards Frank Salazar, and the fans cheer wildly as Donzig and Sinclair exit the ring.

(Olympia has just entered the arena with her gear bag and is walking towards the corridor that leads to the locker rooms a look of intensity on her face as she continues walking. Glamourous Glenda comes up to her and Olympia stops and faces her.)

Glamourous Glenda: "Olympia you are facing both Sinclair Godfrey and Joanne Cannelli for the SWAT Amazons Women's Championship. What are ylour thoughts about a three way match for the championship."

Olympia: "You know Glamourous Glenda I knew every SWAT Amazon was going to come out and challenge Joanne Canelli when she opened up her big mouth and issued that open challenge. Well Joanne it's me and you and Sinclair Godfrey in a three way and let's see who the real champion is going to be."

Glamourous Glenda: "There's talk that it's going to be a handicap match since both Sinclair and Cannelli are KGB members. Doesn't that concern you in any way."

Olympia: "Yeah that's going to be a concern but think about this Glenda. Did those two idiots realize that this isn't going to be an ordinary title match. Did Sinclair Godfrey and Joanne Cannelli realize that this is going to be a lose, lose situation for both of them."

Glamourous Glenda: "How can it be a lose, lose situation."

Olympia: "You don't remember all those three way matches in SWAT and all three participants were willing to cost each other the victory to gain it."

Glamourous Glenda: "I remember those."

Olympia: "Then you know it's like a three way handicap match. Yeah Cannelli and Godfrey can try to eliminate me but where does that get them."

Glamourous Glenda: "Nowhere since Joanne retains the championship."

Olympia: "Yeah nowhere. You see Godfrey is going to try and eliminate me just to gain the championship. Now what about Joanne Cannelli if she tries to eliminate me."

Glamourous Glenda: "She retains the championship."

Olympia: "Yeah she retains her championship. Now think about this Glenda. how are they going to co-exist if they can co-exist since Sinclair claimed she would have been champion if Commandrix didn't get put in a championship match with her and former champion Isabel Rios in NPW. Now who will she blame if she loses. It should be herself but she'll claim I cost her the match. Well Sinclair save your excuses for when you lose again and you will lose again."

Glampurous Glenda: "What are your thoughts on Joanne Cannelli."

Olympia: "What are my thoughts for the current SWAT Amazons Women's Champion. The same as my thoughts about Sinclair Godfrey. She needed help from The Hired Killers to win her first SWAT Amazon Women's Championship and kept getting lucky with their assistance. She needed help again from her mob goons to steal Isabel Rios's championship. What does that tell you about Joanne Cannelli. Now two years ago I defeated Joanne Cannelli and I plan on doing that again and I will do it again."

Glamourous Glenda: "You know the odds are going to be against you."

Olympia: "I know the odds are against me but I don't care what anyone thinks or the odds. I plan on beating the odds and I plan on becoming the SWAT Amazons Women's Championship for a second time. Believe me I've beaten the odds before and I plan on doing it again."

Glamourous Glenda: "They are allies and would do anything to win that championship."

Olympia: "Yeah Sinclair will have her mentor Donzig to spit black mist into my face so she can pin me and win the championship. Then we have Joanne Cannelli who will probably have her mob goons at ringside to hand her brass knuckles to knock me out and make the pinfall to retain her tainted championship. Then again she'll probably come up with a novel approach and go into Count Dracula mode and bite me. Who knows maybe I'll go into von Helsing or Buffy mode and be generous enough to treat her to a good stake. Yeah I said that and I mean it too. So I know the odds will be against me and I have nobody in my corner which is okay by me."

Glamourous Glenda: "You seem prepared for this match."

Olympia: "Yeah I have to be prepared for anything and I hope Sinclair and Cannelli are prepared for me because I'm coming in like a Spartan and I'm going to fight like one. I'm not just coming into this match for a fight. I'm coming to make war in the ring. I'm not going to show any mercy and I'm going to be unleashing merciless aggression on the two of them. I'm not going to hold back on anyone and I'm certainly not going to care if I hurt them They are going to see a real mean Olympia and I plan on showing why I'm a 'Golden Warrior.'"

Glamourous Glenda: "You think Esmerelda von Krauss will interfere."

Olympia: "You mean that madam who always needs a man even though she's married to Armand von Krauss and interferes in everyone's matches. Yeah we have unfinished business and if she wants to interfere I'll be more than happy to finish it during this championship match even if it costs me my chance at the championship."

Glamourous Glenda: "One last thing you were critical about the U.S. Olympic team. Why would you be critical about their performance."

Olympia: "It wasn't their performance that got me angry at them. It was because of their antics and I got pissed off, because they turned their backs on the national anthem, taking knees and raising their fists as well as making 'X' symbols with their arms along with other the shit I saw and excuses including mental health. If you have issues air them after the Olympics not during the Olympics. I was ashamed and embarrassed as a former member of our national team. Now I have to get ready for my match. Hoorah!"

(Olympia leaves.)

Glamourous Glenda: "Olympia's really fired up and she's ready for war. Back to you."

(The scene slowly fades to black.)

- David Vector, The Rookie enters Psychotic Goth's locker room and looks around and sees both Psychotic Goth and Vampira waiting for him. Psychotic Goth's face is covered by his shoulder length dark hair. -

Psychotic Goth: "It is good that you came."

- Thanks Goth. Great to be in your corner tonight. -

Psychotic Goth: "It's an honor to team with a rookie who shows respect to 'The King of the Goths. I see plenty of potential in your abilities David. All you need to do is work hard and you can succeed in SWAT. However, in tag team wrestling loyalty is most important along with sharing responsibilities in the ring. You do know and understand the difference. Between just sharing the burden of responsibility and true loyalty."

- Obviously I know the difference, but I'm not sure they are mutually exclusive. -

Psychotic Goth: "You are correct David you could team with whomever you want to team up with. Beware though you could also be in six-man matches and there are those who shall attempt to split our team up. That is why loyalty is most important along with working hard in the ring."

- Well I see why the fans like you because you are consistent and you're fierce and no lack of glory in your record. I aim to be the best I can be and I hope that glory and fame follow. -

- Psychotic Goth holds up a hand. -

Vampira: Glory is not what this is about David and that is what you shall learn as you wrestle each match."

- I thought your whole deal was fighting for the glory of your forefathers and the spirits and such - 

Vampira: Not only that. No.

Psychotic Goth: "Correct Vampira. You see David, my mentor, The Shootfighter, taught me to remain loyal and true to myself and not change my image. I walk alone as they say and I team when I need to. You wished to team with me and I found it intriguing. Just remember to listen and tag in when it's truly necessary and don't remain in the ring too long. Fame and glory isn't as important as loyalty to your partner and the main goal which is winning."

- Ah, now I can see where your sallying from. If I had my druthers I would like to have tagged with a star like yourself once I get that elusive win under my belt. So that we can pitch on the field of battle together on a similar footing, but I didn't want to turn down the chance to tag up wi'tch y'all worrying about that. I know to some it may look like I'm hitching a ride on your coattails, but I hope you know that's not my aim. -

Psychotic Goth: "Then prove you aren't out to do that. If someone dares to accuse you of that. You get in their faces and challenge them to a match and see if they have the guts to back up their talk. However, there is a way to prove that you are not in it for fame and glory."

- Psychotic Goth motions for Vampira who picks up a dagger and he pricks his fingers as David looks nervous. -

Psychotic Goth: "Now to seal our team up. If you wish to back up now David. You may do it now before it's too late."

- David looks nervous but puffs out his chest and holds up his hand to stop Vampira as she reaches out with a dagger to prick his finger. -

- I will bleed beside you in the ring. I will put my body on the line for this team. I am loyal. I am honest. But I'll tell you what I am not... I am not putting blood on that contract. If you don't trust me now, then adding blood to paper ain't gonna prove nothing. That's just not me. -

- Goth looks at David sternly, David is unsure if he's offended his tag partner or not, but is sticking by his guns... then Vampira chuckles an evil cackle, licks the blood from Goth's finger and Goth just steps away in contemplation for a second and shoots David a look, like that of a proud father to a wisening son. -

Psychotic Goth: "You can listen after all. Remain loyal and true to yourself and not change your image. Confront situations you are unhappy with. Don't be a sheep. I am proud of your decision. I think we can work together."

- David smiles as the tension in the room is lifted slightly and signs the paper with a pen and Psychotic Goth does the same. -

Psychotic Goth: "We have sealed our team's friendship and there is no turning back from it. Blood or no blood, you have sealed a bond with me. You know what happens when such bonds are broken?"

- David nods. -

Psychotic Goth: "Good... Now what do you plan on doing when we step into the ring to face our opponents."

- To fight with pride, show courage and give the crowd what they paid for.-

Psychotic Goth: "That is what the fans expect from you whether in singles, tag or six-man matches you give it your all whether, winning, losing or draw. The ringsiders are all that matters as well as how hard you work for your victories. We shall work on your performance too so you can improve. Follow my lead and learn to be a better wrestler in SWAT. I'm sure you can respect those words."

- I genuinely live that phrase. It's a mantra of sorts I guess. There's no side order of baloney or cheesy sentiment with that phrase sir. It's my honest answer. -

- Psychotic Goth puts his hand up again. -

Vampira: "He prefers to be known as Psychotic Goth and not sir."

Psychotic Goth: "I'm not formal like other wrestlers who think they are higher than everyone else. You see David that word is only used by those who are so star struck by a person's reputation that they forget that the person is only human and not immortal. Rookie or not, we are tag partners and should not be subservient to each other in words or deeds. Remember that and I will see you later..."

- Later? I kinda thought I was gonna change and get ready for the fight here -

Psychotic Goth: "There are teams that prepare together like Team Fairtex and Indian Assassins among some of the teams and there are others who change and warm up in their individual locker rooms. You have a locker room to do so and we can meet here again to talk strategy for our tag team match. If we are introduced separately then we enter the ring separately since that is always a possibility in tag team wrestling."

Vampira: "Here is something that Psychotic Goth made for you from the darkness of his imagination."

- She hands him a velvet bag that contains an object which he accepts reluctantly and looks inside it and gulps. -

Psychotic Goth: "Think of it as a gift for you as a token of our newfound partnership since I have one too. Treat it with the utmost respect and it will do the same for you if you need it. Now go and suit up, warm up and return so we can talk strategy."

-The Rookie makes a hasty exit as Psychotic Goth and Vampira watches him leave and the scene slowly fades to black. -

[SinclairGodfrey]

Lady Sinclair Godfrey, the Ninth Baroness Godfrey stood in the hallway outside of the SWAT office with her arms folded over her chest as he leaned against the wall. Ordinarily, she would have been annoyed but being in the room with Donzig and Soutter when they were angry was not pleasant. Donzig's voice came from behind the door, an angry snarl before she heard Soutter yell back at him. Of course, Sinclair knew that when Donzig was yelling things were fine.

It was the silence, that was a problem. A quiet Donzig was a dangerous Donzig, and so she smirked as she listened to them argue. Soutter was not pleased that his Trios partner called out NLW, and not at all happy he had taken shots at Dylan Black. And Donzig? Well, Sinclair mused, it was hard to say what was on his mind. After what seemed forever, she heard Soutter say 'I'll take care of it! I will take care of it! Get ready for your match, I don't want any gold to slip through our fingers! Especially not to the Revs!'

'Bah, I will deal with Osland!' snapped Donzig, and the door was ripped open as he stormed out. He waved a hand back into the office, and then he swept down the hall with a hiss. Sinclair watched him, shaking her head before she shrugged before stepping into the office. Soutter flashed her a smile, settling back into his chair with a shake of his head. He grabbed his glass, taking a swig of whiskey before he motioned at the door.

'You know, sometimes that man is impossible.' 

Sinclair nodded, and she had a moment of insight. 'He's afraid.'

Soutter blinked, lowering the glass. 'What? Donzig isn't afraid of anything. He's fearless, it's--'

Sinclair waved a hand, staring at Soutter with a faint smile. 'He only fears things he can not name, Donzig knows his power comes from battle, from testing his strength against others, in pitting his mind against theirs. You see as soon as there is no one to fight? As soon as there are no enemies? Donzig will began to fade. He needs chaos, he needs the war, Soutter. He fears that, and when he can find no more enemies? He will make some.'

Soutter stared at her, downing a gulp of his drink. Donzig was crazy, but the more you were around her? Well, Sinclair Godfrey was every bit as insane. She just wore it better, she hid it under a pretty face and a smile. But looking into her eyes, you could see something as dark as the empty gaze of Donzig looking back at you. But she smiled at him, absently inspecting her fingers. 'I want you to make sure Olympia learns what it means to cross the KGB. I don't want any mistakes like last show.'

The Baroness leaned forward, planting her hands on the desk as she leaned forward. Her head tilting with a cold savage grin, sniffing before she spoke. 'I will do anything, and I do mean anything necessary to make sure Olympia doesn't win that title. And I will do anything to make sure it stays with the KGB, Suit.'

'Good, good.' Soutter nodded into that wicked smile and those flashing eyes. The glass lifted again, finishing his drink as she drew back. Sinclair shrugged, absently adjusting her long flowing coat before a hand lifted to brush back her hair. 'I need to make some calls, I get the feeling that NLW is not going to happy with Donzig's comments. And I get the feeling he is not going to let it go.'

'Good luck against Blaze.' Sinclair laughed, sweeping from the room with a tug of her long coat before pulling the door shut behind her. 

[SWAT Team]

Nimbooda Nimbooda hits and Rajiv drives down to the ring in his taxi cab. He gets out and stands on the roof and poses for the fans then runs down the bonnet and somersaults over the ropes into the ring.

Frank Salazar : The following contest is scheduled for ONE fall. Introducing first … hailing from Mumbai India. Coming in at 5’11 and 219 lbs … RAJIV KHAN!!! And introducing his opponent … hailing from Parris Island, SC. Coming in at 6’2 & 217 lbs … JOHNNY SNIPER!!!!!

[The video screen shows a low angled shot of a pristine white title floor a pair of black boots. The boots move towards the camera as it pulls back, until the boots stop and turns to the left, the camera then pans up and frames the face of a young man.

"Aye Sir!" The young man yells.

The camera then shows another face. "Aye Sir!" this on yells.

It then shows another face. "NO Sir!"

Another face. "Yes Sir!"

The camera then pulls back to the show the full room. A group of boot camp recruits stand at attention in front of the beds. Their Drill Instructor takes two steps towards the front of the room. "What Do We Do!"

"Fall In Line, Sir!"

"I Can't Here You!"

"Fall In Line, Sir!"

"Now Let me See Your Warface!"

The recruits yell as the video cuts, as the lights go out.

"Fall back in line

(Fall back in line)

Now is the time

To open your eyes"

Is heard in the darkness as the light come back on Johnny Sniper is seen standing on stage. He face changes from a smile to one of pure anger, as he marches down to the ring and get right in the face of his opponent, almost begging them to hit him.]

Jeremy Tucker : Here we go guys, first match of the night, Sniper against Khan.

Andrew Fulton : I got that feeling Jerry. Khan is gonna get his first win against the Frenchman.

Jeremy Tucker : He may … but I highly doubt it …. Frenchman? Sniper comes here with a wealth of experience on the network and is looking to make a home for himself at SWAT.

Andrew Fulton : Ease up Jerry. He was damn lucky to go over David Vector at the Memorial. Go Rajiv!!! And yeah. Frenchman. Paris Frank just said he’s from.

Jeremy Tucker : Vector is going places here and I think Sniper is too, and it was Parris Island.

[Referee Mick Donovan calls for the bell and and they hook up and and arm wrench and side kick by Sniper. ]

Andrew Fulton : Rajiv heads to the ropes and Donovan calls for a break and Sniper gives a clean break. Rajiv runs at him and Sniper catches him and drills him with a HUGE Spinebuster!

Jeremy Tucker : Sniper sticks on Rajiv and starts wailing away with big lefts and rights. It's turning into a brawl here and Rajiv gets a thumb to the eye.

Andrew Fulton : Rajiv with an Indian (European) Uppercut.

Jeremy Tucker : Rajiv grabs Sniper and hits an inverted atomic drop …. BK Bomb!!!! Cover by Khan …..

One …………

Two ………………

TH …..BIG kick out by Sniper.

Andrew Fulton : Sniper looks angry.

Jeremy Tucker : He grabs Khan …. Big headbutt!

Andrew Fulton : "LOCK 'N LOAD" (Shotgun Dropkick)

Jeremy Tucker : Since when do you know the names of moves?

Andrew Fulton : Since we didn’t know if you were coming back and I had to do some actual preparation. I can’t believe you missed the Memorial. One of the biggest shows of the year.

Jeremy Tucker : I can’t either. But I am thankful I'm here now and all is well.

Andrew Fulton : No hard feelings to Donzig then?

Jeremy Tucker : …….. "HEADSHOT!!!!!" (Springboard Enziguri)

Andrew Fulton : Rajiv looks like his taxi customers at 4am staggering to his cab ...

Jeremy Tucker : Our boss?

Andrew Fulton : Or me!

Jeremy Tucker : SUPERKICK!!! Kill Shot!!! Kill Shot!

Andrew Fulton : What? What???

Jeremy Tucker : Rajiv is OUT! Sniper with the cover ……

One …………………

Two ………………

THREE!!!!!!

Andrew Fulton : He got him!

Jeremy Tucker : Sniper took out Rajiv. That makes him 2 and 0. Can this run continue here at SWAT?

Andrew Fulton : We will see .. .the competition is about to get tougher!

[BlazeFNfreya]

“So it’s taken this long to reveal the true colours of everyone’s least favourite Suit.”

-Our scene opens up with a monochrome filter, in front of an all black set after The Blackpool Bombshell had filmed a commercial endorsing a new perfume with a similar design to her wrestling attire. She sat on a pedestal, removing her bedazzled shades and tossing them carelessly over her right shoulder as she just thought to herself all that’s happened with The KGB thus far-



“In an attempt at saving face n’ proving you aren’t sexist, you dare try to get me outta my clothes. It’s a cute stipulation, I’ll give you that, but this isn’t helping your case much is what I’m saying here. You might as well have said if I lose I have to wash your dishes, it’s a total backfire! One second you’re defending yourself, the next you’re prosecuting yourself I mean which is it? Are you or are you not in the mindset that males are superior to females? I’ve never seen anyone struggle for as long as you have with saying one way or another. I heard you even have an issue losing to women, that you complain about it to the bookers backstage even when it’s nobody’s fault except your own! You complain because it deflates the ego of a soft, self-entitled, typical sexist stereotype such as yourself n’ that’s exactly why you’ll be prancing around in a dress for the next who knows how many ever shows!? I agreed to this match long before you ever came up with your clever reverse stipulation, cos’ I know I can beat you.”

-Blaze stands up tall and approaches our camera, stepping off set to get up close and personal-

“You’ve led the most highlighted stable in your own company long enough, it’s like being the coach AND the quarterback- you’re just selfish! You want everything, not only your cake and to eat it too, you wanna eat my cake--

-She stops awkwardly and shakes her head, sighing deeply-

“You want it all, you want what everyone else has but you still wanna keep your place in The KGB. I’m going to make sure The KGB isn’t around to give you a place to keep anymore. It starts when I beat you, it ends once they all realize what a weak, arrogant, selfish prick their leader really is.”

-With a half smirk, she chuckles and points at us, or perhaps her opponent-

“I look forward to seeing you lean so heavily on your allies for support in this one, I can’t wait to see you depending on their help just to deliver a simple message. Well, here’s my message to you… without any help necessary, I’m going to beat you and embarrass you in front of the entire world. If Eddie D, the only strong member you’ve ever had could just barely edge me out, imagine how much of a problem I’m gonna be for such a frail little man like you?”

-Blaze Freya pushes past and moves toward the exit as we fade to black after her bold words. Does she have The KGB’s leader scouted like none of his other opponents ever have? Or is she in for a rude awakening inside the squared circle? Stay tuned to find out! Only on SWAT!-

[edwarddubin0604]

(Team Fairtex is in their locker room warming up and working up a sweat as they prepare for their SWAT Word Tag Team Championship Match with Ruin and Dangerous Donna. The Hired Killers watch them as door opens and Katie Moss enters the locker room.)

Tong Fairtex: "Katie Moss no time no see."

Katie Moss: "It's been a year or two since I last interviewed you."

Phantam Fairtex: "Has it been that long Tong."

Tong Fairtex: "It was Phantam."

Katie Moss: "Tonight you face rookies Ruin and Dangerous Donna."

Tong Fairtex: "Let me tell you this Ruin is a giant of a man and quite powerful in more ways than one. Dangerous Donna held her own against us and Olympia. Yeah she was a bit intimidated when Olympia faced off with her but she has a good future in SWAT and the Amazons Division."

Phantam Fairtex: "Don't forget we did vow that we would face anyone for these tag team championships and we intend to keep our word of honor.
We never break our word and never will and tonight we face the powerhouse Ruin and Dangerous Donna. We're the only team in SWAT that says that and goes through with our promise."

Katie Moss: "Ruin and Dangerous Donna lost to Donzig and Sinclair Godfrey."

Tong Fairtex: "That doesn't mean anything since you the old saying 'You learn from your mistakes.' Well we believe they learned from their mistakes and will be quite dangerous when they step into the ring with us. That's what we've been preparing for and that's exactly what we are in for tonight when we defend our championships."

Katie Moss: "Did you notice that your ally Psychotic Goth just teamed up with 'The Rookie' David Vector. What are your thoughts about them teaming up."

Phantam Fairtex: "You know Katie we don't mind at all because anyone can team up and any team can become top contenders and then champions. Psychotic Goth and David Vector are no exception to the rule and who knows they may become tag team champions."

Tong Fairtex: "Plus Psychotic Goth was a tag team champion several times in Hardkore Britain with Bryan Warrior and they got along just fine so Psychotic Goth and David Vector will co-exist and make an impact in SWAT."

Katie Moss: "So what's your evaluation of Ruin and Dangerous Donna."

Tong Fairtex: "We already told you Katie. Ruin is a powerhouse and is every bit as dangerous as his name says and he is quite explosive when it comes down to it. Dangerous Donna is just that and then some and one day she's going to be SWAT Amazons Women's Champion one day. You heard it from us Katie. Tonight though it's going to be Team Fairtex's night and we're going to be wearing these championship belts going in and leaving the ring with the tag team championships."

Phantam Fairtex: "Plus if you noticed how these belts are being treated. They're being worn around our waists. Notice they aren't being held over our shoulders. They aren't being held in the crooks of our arms. They aren't even being held like someone in an obsessed love affair. They aren't being held in our mouths or being used as a bath towel like the former champions."

Tong Fairtex: "Believe us the fumigation bill was huge but worth it. That shows how much we care about these championships. That's how much we care about the tradition of this division. Don't forget this is SWAT Syndicate Wrestling And Tradition. Now the key word here is Tradition and that's what SWAT's all about."

Katie Moss: "I guess it is."

Tong Fairtex: "Guess? It is Tradition. Imagine of all the XHF feds SWAT is the oldest and most established of all feds and believes in that very word Tradition. It's the gold standard of feds. We believe and follow that mantra and never stray from it. To us it's a way of life that we never will abandon."

Phantam Fairtex: "That's right because we're tradition and will always be tradition. That's what every tag team in SWAT's going to find out and they are going to see why Team Fairtex earned these tag team championships."

Katie Moss: "You forgot Esmerelda von Krauss interfered costing Bear-O'Dactyl the championships."

Tong Fairtex: Okay she interfered which we had nothing to do with. Esmerelda does what she wants and when she wants to whoever she wants. I guess Union Jack offended her so she got back at him. Now tonight there's going to be no doubt in anyone's mind that Team Fairtex are the true tag team champions."

Phantam Fairtex: "We know it's not going to be easy when we face both Ruin and Dangerous Donna. We know it's notjust going to be a battle but a war in that ring. That's something we don't back down from because it's tradition in our family."

Katie Moss: "Is there anything else you want to add."

Tong Fairtex: "Yeah tonight this tag team wrestling machine is going to ready fight and this won't be any road to Ruin and it's going to be Dangerous but Team Fairtex is ready for anything and we are going to be entering as the tag team champions and leaving as the tag team champions."

Phantam Fairtex: "Interview over and we're out of here."

(Team Fairtex and The Hired Killers leave the locker room.)

Katie Moss: "Tam Fairtex looks ready for Ruin and Dangerous Donna. Back to you."

(The scene slowly fades to black.)

[Ruin]

[We see in front of a SWAT Battleground Banner the team of Dangerous Donna and Ruin. Donna looks great in her sexy ring gear and Ruin is towering over her. Warren W Webber alongside them holding the mic.]

Webber : I’m joined back here today with the new tandem of Ruin and Donna. You guys have lucked into a tag title shot coming up next ...

Ruin : Luck has nothing to do with it. We have been been making an impact since our arrival and the match makers have deemed us the number one challengers to Team Fairtex tonight.

Donna : Yeah! Who do you think we are Webber? Lucky Linda? We make our own luck!

Webber : Team Fairtex are now THREE time Tag Team Champions.

Ruin : That they are and a very formidable foe. They make the most of their opportunities and we intend to do the same.

Donna : I honestly don’t rate them. Look at this man!

[She thumps the huge chest of Ruin.]

Donna : He is a machine and could beat the pair of them single handedly, let alone with little ole me to help out.. And help out I will. I am not here as a passenger. I am here to win the gold!

Webber : What about Osland Donna?

Donna : That’s personal. This … this is business!

Webber : Are you still involved with him?

Ruin : What is this? Jerry Springer? We are wrestlers! That’s what we do!

Donna : Ox has his tag team partner and I have mine!

Webber : What are your th ...

Ruin : Enough! I don’t get paid by the hour, Or by the word! I go out there and I run through anything in my path. Fancy flips and that trampoline garbage, multiple this and multiple that. That all gets you nowhere fast when I wrap this hand (holds his huge hand up to the camera) around their puny throats and hoist them up to the rafters and bring them crashing to the man with the CHOKESLAM!!

Donna : Team Fairtex, see you in the ring!

[eddied]

(A montage of Eddie's training regime for the coming title fight rolls as The Offspring - Come out and Play plays in the background. As the montage ends we find Eddie in the SWAT HQ conference room sat with Warren. W. Webber ready for an interview.)

WWW: Welcome Eddie.

EDDIE: Thanks Wifi. Great to be here.

WWW: I love your new entrance music. I heard it again just then, playing in the background to that video piece. Why the change?

EDDIE: Change is good, you know that, but also some legal bull crap made it a necessity. Armand had me dancing around trademark laws suggesting that The Cave theme I used was signed over as part of my Eddie D KGB contract. I have enough on my mind fighting the KGB in person without paying lawyers fortunes behind closed doors to keep my entrance music.

WWW: On a personal note I'd like to thank you for representing SWAT in such an admirable way with your tribute to the late great Suzi Spitz at The Memorial event.

EDDIE: It was my pleasure to represent and it was all true and heartfelt. When you're the champion you understand there's more to the role than just topping the card. That said, I would have volunteered to deliver that speech whether I held the title or not.

WWW: But hold the title you do. I must admit that there were moments where I thought the title had slipped away from your grasp facing Frostbite, but with your new found crowd support and own determination you survived another tough encounter.

EDDIE: The result was never in doubt in the eyes of my fans and I wouldn't have made it through the fight if I didn't know I could do it, deep down myself, but yeah... Frosty did himself proud out there.
I know that the KGB kicked me out and that should be enough to blindly hate on them and run them down, but I haven't forgotten exactly why I ran with them for so long; because they're damned hard to beat.

WWW: Have you come to terms with the crowd being behind you after months of booing and condemning your "anarchic" run-ins and swerves?

EDDIE: I knew that I wanted this title more than anything and I knew that I was good enough to hold it. Proving that fact and making it happen was never going to make me any friends in the locker room or the office, but I didn't care about that and went to war with them both. The only casualty in the cross fire was my popularity with the crowd as collateral damage. It's nice to see that the crowd can forgive and forget the months of friendly fire and rage at what I saw as disloyalty at the time and take me to their hearts. Kids look up to me again. It's probably every young man's alpha male dream to become the SWAT World Heavyweight Champion; and if you say you don't want that... then you're lying to yourself.

WWW: Well one guy certainly does want that accolade and that's your opponent at Battleground 40, Jonnie Valentine.

EDDIE: I thought Soutter had done enough to get his sorry butt in the ring with me for "The Heat is On" but Valentine is as worthy of a shot at the gold as any of the other pretenders to my throne. I am no stranger to ruining Valentine's plans though.
I took revenge for my exit in my first Anzac cup by making sure the Stylistics didn't get to dominate again. I drove Syberus out of here, punched him through his own 4th wall and thus... no more Stylistics.
Then The Society of The New Breed stood in my way. Do you remember them? They used to be a BIG deal around here. I played my part in destroying that collective and now Valentine stands alone. All that really shows is that he never really needed the back up in the first place and he walks into our main event together as the number one contender for the world title. Thing is... I never needed the back up of the KGB either. We're heading into the big top of this particular circus. The finale will be a high-wire act with everything at stake. A joust on unicycles, 50 feet up... without a safety net. Someone's gonna fall. It ain't gonna be me.

WWW: Does his run down during your beat down by the KGB cloud your view of your old adversary?

EDDIE: Not a lot, no. I feel it was more a statement that he still hates the KGB than a concern for my welfare. He hasn't suddenly forgiven the sins I have committed against him in my first year in SWAT. I cost him his World Title against Trent Jones all those months ago, but I doubt him costing me my Renegade Title against "The Penultimate Napkin" Keith Williams has quite balanced the scales in his mind. It feels like I have made a career out of hating this man and I have never beaten him. I need to put that right. As a man and as a competitor and as a champion I need to get a win in the ledger against Jonnie Valentine. Anything else will feel like a backward step; like I haven't improved one iota since I walked into this place. It's time for him to backup his bullshit and time for me to start living up to the hype.

WWW: Talking of hype, what about this cross federation rivalry that you have with the NPW Pirates stable? I believe that Greg Adkins has accepted your open challenge?

EDDIE: Well Greg Adkins and his buddies got a couple of shots in when I was visiting the frozen north. I don't think he's going to enjoy the return fixture here in the U. S. of A. The sacrificial lamb sent south of the border to try and placate my beef with all those punks. The thing is... They are already squawking over social media saying that our referees won't call the fight straight, that we'll find a way to guarantee that the title stays in my hands regardless of Gregory's best efforts... well if you don't feel that a SWAT main event is the place to settle our score... maybe neutral ground would suit them better.

WWW: What are you saying?

EDDIE: What I am saying is that it's a plague upon our two houses that a visiting champion is targeted and ambushed, on their card as a guest to compete in good faith. It is a stain on our reputations that the talk of match fixing to cover your short comings as a wrestler is already in the air before the first blows have even landed. I read Facepage and trawl the Twatterverse. I see what has been said.
So why don't we make a date at the End of Days event. Network rules. Network referees. The increased audience is more than you deserve. There are plenty of SWAT guys that should be sharing the limelight with me on the biggest stage, but I want this bad blood settled, with no doubt about who is the better man. If you have the stomach for a real fight on the biggest stage possible.... BRING IT ON!!!

(Eddie gets up and storms out of view to the left of shot.... Then seems to have turned around and come back into shot and bends to whisper to a shocked Warren W. Webber.)

EDDIE: There's no exit that way.... You were great on commentary last week by the way... We can fix this walk off mistake in the edit right?

WWW: Sorry, but this was a live feed I think...

EDDIE: Fuck it!



(Eddie storms out of shot to the right and the scene comes to an abrupt end.)

[SWAT Team]

The Fall hits and Ruin slowly walks onto the rampway. He pauses and looks over the arena and crown and ring, then heads to the ring, all business.

Frank Salazar: Heading to the ring at this time he is the man they call Ruin!

The fans cheer, and Ruin slowly climbs into the ring with a glance at the fans before he waits for his partner.

Fulton: I for one love Ruin, and his choice of partners! I want that on the record!

Tucker: They did show alot of chemistry in their recent loss to Donzig and Godfrey.

Fulton: Wow. Wow. He really got to you didn't he?

Frank Salazar: Her partner, she is the one and only Dangerous Donna!

Dangerous by Roxette hits and Donna makes her way out to the ring, pausing and posing on the rampway, then saunters down there and sexily enters the ring, hovering between the ropes before entering and looking down on the fans in contempt.

Her and Ruin bump fists, and head to the corner while watching the ramp.

The UFC Remix hits and Tong and Phantom Fairtex make their way onto the ramp way. They are both wearing Team Fairtex singlets and psyching each other up, they high five the fans and do a few poses for them up and then go over some last minute plans.

Frank Salazar : Introducing now, hailing from Bangkok, Thailand. The reigning and defending SWAT tag team Champions! Coming in at a combined weight of 470 pounds .... TONG AND PHANTAM FAIRTEX!!!

The champs waste no time getting into the ring, and looking their opponents over. They are ready for a fight it seems, and the ref soon calls for the bell. It looks like Tong and Ruin will start, and the fans are cheering.

Tucker: Tong moves in, and dodges a blow from Ruin before starting to rain kicks at the big man's legs. Trying to take out his vertical base, and Ruin draws back a few steps with an annoyed glare.

Fulton: Ruin has had enough, and shoves Tong back before flinging him at the ropes. Tong comes off the ropes, and he gets a knee up for a Muay Tai knee strike at Ruin. The big man staggers against the ropes, and Tong wastes no time launching into a series of chops.

The fans cheer, and Ruin has finally had enough.

Fulton: Ruin grabs Tong and throws him across the ring in a display of power, and the fans are loving it!

Tucker: Tong sees he is in trouble, coming back to his feet as Ruin runs in to connect with a massive Spear!

Tong crumbles, grabbing at his ribs as Ruin glares at his brother. And then he drags him back from the ropes, going for the cover.

1...

2....

And Phantam runs inside, kicking Ruin off of Tong before the referee was pushing him back. Ruin didn't like that at all, glaring angrily as he came to his feet.

Fulton: Ruin didn't appreciate that at all.

Tucker: The big man is on his feet, and storms over to the corner to start swinging on Phantam! The ref is trying to get him back under control, but he flips Phantem into the ring before delivering a few stomps.

Fulton: Tong runs in, jumping on Ruin's back with elbows and knees. Battering away at him, and Team Fairtex is going for the double team!

Tucker: The fans are cheering, and the ref is starting a count trying to break this up. Phantam steps outside, making a tag before he climbs the top rope. And a thunderous tornado DDT.

Ruin is down, and Phantam goes for the pin as the fans are loving it.

1...

And Phantam is tossed off by Ruin, who rolls to his knees with a shake of his head

.

He crawls towards his corner, and Phantam grabs at his ankle locking on the ankle lock as Ruin continues to power his way to the corner. Dragging Phantam with him, and he reaches out to make the tag!

Tucker: Dangerous Donna makes the tag, and she wastes no time! A clothesline, and she drives a few kicks into his sides for good measure!

Fulton: Phantam is back at it though, grabbing Donna to deliver a hard elbow to her chest! He flings her at the ropes, and delivers a hard sideslam!

Tucker: Phantam makes the cover!

One …...

Two…

Tucker: And Donna gets a foot on the ropes! The fans cheer at that, and Phantam looks annoyed.

He drags Donna towards their corner, and makes the tag to Tong. Tong comes over the ropes, and casts a look towards the furious Ruin before he pulls Donna towards the center of the ring.

Fulton: Tong locking on the Lion Tamer! And Donna is trying to get to the ropes, attempting to escape as the move is tightened!

Tucker: Here comes Ruin! And the fans boo, but here comes Phantam! He catches Ruin, throwing punches and kicks to push Ruin back as his brother keeps Donna locked in the hold.

Fulton: Ruin grabs Phantam, and flings him at Tong! And the hold comes apart as the ref tries to get it back under control! And Ruin grabs Tong, planting him with a thunderous choke slam!

Tucker: And another for Phantam! The fans explode, and Ruin glares at the ref before he returns to his corner.

Donna wastes no time, rolling up Phantam for a pin!

Fulton: Donna with the cover, and the fans boo!

Tucker: The ref waves her off, shaking his head as he points at Tong. Indicating that Phantam is not the legal man!

Donna is furious, and dives to make a quick cover on Tong. But Tong kicks out, and the fans cheer as Donna throws a tantrum. Kicking and hitting the ring before she climbs back to her feet. She heads for her corner to make the tag.

Ruin is back in the ring, and he is furious as he grabs Tong once more by the throat to lift him into the air. But Tong locks his arms and legs around his arm this time, grabbing at his wrists to bring Ruin down into a submission!

Fulton: Unbelievable! Tong transitions to a triangle choke, and the fans are going wild as Ruin is trying to break free!

Tucker: The big man looks like he is fading, and Tong is in control as his brother is back in the corner urging him on!

Fulton: Donna has seen enough, she runs across the ring kicking and clawing at Tong to force the break. The fans boo, and Ruin shakes his head as he staggers back to his feet.

Tucker: Tong shoves past the ref, making the tag and pointing at Ruin. And Phantam wastes no time, running into the ring to nail the rising big man with a dropkick! Ruin topples to the outside!

The fans cheer, and Phantam makes a quick tag to Tong before running across the ring. And he dives between the ropes, crashing into Ruin to drive him hard against the barricades. The fans love it, and Tong is on the outside.

Fulton: A rain of punches on Ruin, and Tong is shoving him back inside. The ref is at five, and Tong follows him inside.

Tucker: Wasting no time, Tong goes for the pin!

One …….

Two ………..

And Ruin barely kicks out! The fans cheer, and Tong looks frustrated as he goes back into the match. But Ruin shoves him back, barely catching him with a rising clothesline! Then he makes the tag to Donna.

Fulton: Donna in the ring now, wasting no time in trying to lock up with Tong.

Tucker: Tong has had enough, and drives a stiff thurst kick into Donna's throat! He plants her with a quick suplex, and the fans cheer as he makes the tag to Phantam!

Fulton: Tong runs across the ring, hammering Muay Thai knees into Ruin's side as he tries to break it up! Keeping the big man on the ropes as Phantam climbs to the top of the post! And he comes down with the Frog Splash!

Tucker: Donna is out!

1...

2...

....

THREE!

The fans explode, and Phantam is on his feet even as Ruin finally throws Tong off. The big monster runs across the ring, grabbing Phantam by the throat before sending him crashing down with a huge chokeslam!

Fulton: Yeah! Take that for beating up poor Donna! But Ruin isn't done yet!

Tong goes for the superkick, but Ruin ducks it! And he grabs him by the throat for another chokeslam, and the fans boo! But Ruin glares at them, before staring down at Team Fairtex. Then he is hauling them both upwards, and hits a double chokeslam!

Tucker: This is uncalled for! Ruin is out of control!

Ruin finally moves to the outside, and Donna rolls out after him holding her neck as the ref checks on Team Fairtex. Ruin throws his fists in the air as he climbs the ramp, and Tong rolls over to check on his brother.

Frank Salazar : Winners of the match .. .and STILLLLL SWAT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!! TEAM FAIRTEX!!!!

(Olympia is in her locker room warming up for her Triple Threat Match with Sinclair Godfrey and Joanne Cannelli. The door opens and Glamourous Glenda enters.)

Glamourous Glenda: "I guess you heard what both Sinclair Godfrey and SWAT Owner Mad Dog Paul Soutter about you earlier."

Olympia: "Yeah I heard what they were saying about me and I don't know what his problem with me is but he better get over it and fast."

Glamourous Glenda: "You think it's because he has a match with Blaze Freya and if he loses he has to wear a dress or a skirt."

Olympia: "Maybe he does have a problem with that and maybe with the SWAT Amazons Division. I don't know. I do know I have a Triple Threat Match with Sinclair Godfrey and Joanne Cannelli and I'm going out there and I'm going out there to win despite the odds against me."

Glamourous Glenda: "He mentioned the previous show."

Olympia: "Look I don't why he's upset about the previous show. I lost to Blaze Freya in a great match and then that big mouthed vampire who calls herself SWAT Amazons Women's Champion issued what's considered an open challenge to anyone to come for her championship. Well I answered that challenge and tonight I'm going to beat the odds and become a two time SWAT Amazons Women's Champion."

Glamourous Glenda: "You think that's why he's so upset with you."

Olympia: "You mean if he wanted to have Sinclair Godfrey pratfall to the canvas and Joanne Cannelli covers her for an instant pinfall....One...Two...Three. WINNER AND STILL CHAMPION.....'THE JERSEY DEVIL'....JOANNE CANNELLI!' I guess I spoiled that didn't I and I plan on doing it again tonight."

Glamourous Glenda: "You know Sinclair is cold and ruthless in the ring."

Olympia: "She doesn't know how dangerous I can be in the ring. I plan on making sure those two KGB bitches get suplexed onto their heads over and over again. Then after I'm though with them. They're going to need to have a smith pound their heads back to how they were before I suplexed onto their heads. I plan on showing the so-called 'Ninth Baroness of whoever and whatever she is' that Olympia isn't some pushover. I'm like a Spartan in the ring and I'm coming in prepared for war like I always mention."

Glamourous Glenda: "You seem truly fired up more than you were before."

Olympia: "You know my reputation when it comes to competing in the ring when SWAT Amazons was revived four years ago. You know how aggressive I am in the ring and how tough I am in the ring."

Glamourous Glenda: "You're intense and come in real fired up."

Olympia: "That's exactly what I plan on showing both Sinclair Godfrey and Joanne Cannelli. They think things are going to be easy, but Dragonatrix taught me a lot and I listened to her every word and Dragonatrix taught me to be always fired up for every match and that's exactly what's going to happen tonight."

Glamourous Glenda: "There's still the possibility of Esmerelda von Krauss interfering in the match."

Olympia: "Yeah the woman who loves stealing whores and beat down receptionists and kill security guards....Oh and she loves making out with guys like Steve Awesome behind the back of her husband. Yeah that makes the odds more daunting and makes me more determined to beat the odds. Hell I'll even give her a headache by way of a suplex onto her head if she tries anything. Believe me she's going to fire me up even more if she even makes an appearance at ringside to stick her ass in the ring or into this match, because it's like I mentioned we still have a little unfinished business in NPW. So if she values her own safety she better stay out of my way, out of this match and most definitely out of my face."

Glamourous Glenda: "Looks like you are definitely ready for this match and anything that occurs in this match."

Olympia: "Yeah and after tonight there's going to be a new SWAT Amazons Women's Champion and that's going to be 'The Golden Spartan' Olympia. The KGB isn't going to be seeing gold ever again for quite a while. That's right Sinclair Godfrey and Joanne Cannelli bring your worst and I'll be truly at my best. Soutter that's something you can't avoid tonight and in a matter of moments it's going down and you won't be able to change
or stop it. This is my time and I'm making the most of it. So watch out Sinclair and Joanne I'm more than ready and I'm going to do everything I can to become the new SWAT Amazons Women's Champion odds or no odds."

Glamourous Glenda: "Well your face tells it all."

Olympia: "Yeah it does. I'm more fired up than you think. I'm out of here! Hurrah!"

(Olympia leaves the locker room roaring.)

Glamourous Glenda: "I think her reaction says everything. Back to you guys."

(The scene slowly fades to black.)

- David Vector The Rookie is sat down backstage at the PPG Paints Arena, Pittsburgh, in an interview with Warren W Webber. -

- Let me take this opportunity to give you your first interview in SWAT and congratulate you on signing a SWAT contract when so many fail to make the cut. -

- First Interview? I thought that Steve Scott "on the spot" fella was a SWAT interviewer? -

- No. He wishes he was. He's behind the camera where he belongs today. -

- The camera drops Warren Webber into an unflattering out of focus shot and then back to correct focus and the interview continues - 

- Well first, second or third interview I am mighty honoured to be here. -

- You've fallen on your feet with a tag match tonight in the corner of one of the legends of SWAT, Psychotic Goth. How did you manage to wangle that? - 

- Well you say "wangle" suggesting a contrivance on my part, but I would say that fate just smiled on me and slammed us together. I just hope the fans stick with me and I can get them the illusive first win I am looking for. - 

- Come now. All this "here for the fans" routine is all a bit sickly sweet even for me. This is a cut throat business and nice guys don't get far in an industry where the product you're selling is violent dominance of a fellow wrestler. -

- I don't know what to tell you Mr Webber. I've been busier than a cat covering crap on a marble floor trying to fit in around here and find my feet. Though I got plenty of encouragement when I arrived, Goth's the only one telling me to be myself and giving me solid advice. We have just fallen together as a natural team for the times being. I always wanted to be a 'rassler and I want the fans to come on this incredible journey with me... - 

- I wouldn't call you natural bedfellows. Is it just as simple as "rookie finds mentor"? - 

- I know it's not the most natural of partnerships on paper and I am not an orphaned raccoon looking to a wolf as a surrogate father. I am my own man. Yeah "the gift" and the blood contract stuff was a bit unnerving at first but in the ring we'll be on the same page and ready to execute our game plan from the get go.  -

- What was in the gift bag that he gave you? - 

- I won't be sharing that. Feels like that would come under some kinda tag team confidentiality privileged information type category. -

- Goth has already said that he's still a loner and is only tagging with you because right now it suits his needs... I think talk of confidentiality and secret 'tag team only' information would seem ill-placed and a bit early...  - 

- I have my own standards I live by. If this is a one night deal, or the start of a great tag team connection, my standards don't change. If people are fixin' to figure that I don't have the gumption to keep up my end of this team, well... as theories go... that dog don't hunt. If there are people think that Dakota Jennings and Cross Recoba walk into this fight as favourites those people don't have the good sense that God gave a goose is all I'm saying. - 

- Finally some fighting talk from the Rookie. So you don't rate Dekota Jennings and Cross Recoba's chances tonight? -

- I am not often given to ugly pride, but I am a competitor and I am ready to give a darned good showing of myself in front of my fans. I don't want to lose to a lousy pair of slackers who named 'em self after a cheese. ReKota? Ricotta? Either way, they stink and I don't fear them. Well that's enough talking. Thanks for your time Mr Webber. I gotta get ready for this fight. If y'all excuse me....-

- David Vector gets up and respectfully shakes Warren W Webber's hand and takes his leave with appreciative nods to the sound and camera crew dotted around the set before leaving. -

- A very interesting new comer finding his feet here. Roflstomped by Goth in his first encounter, an improved performance but ultimately the same outcome in his fight with Johnny Sniper, will it be third time lucky tonight? We'll see. For the best in wrestling today, keep it SWAT. -
