Ringside…
Fugazi's "Waiting Room" hit, accompanied by the occasional pulsating screech of the alarm trigger on Papa Z's megaphone, as he stepped out from the back flanked by the two gargantuan figures of Rocky Rhodes and Big Dil. The three men made their way down to the ring before Papa Z asked for every ones attention and Rocky snatched a microphone.
"Last week I wasn't out here to wrestle I was out here to make an impact and that impact was made when I came out and showed the world that C*ntlegerms isn't fit to lace up my boots. You see last week I wasn't in a match but I still got to see action when I came down here to this ring and got in her ass and it would've been for the end of her if she hadn't fired off a cheap shot to my buddies and stopped me from putting my ass through- foot through her ass!"
The crowd boos and Rocky flips them off, pointing at one "fat guy" in the front and telling him to "shut his ass before I put my fist up it".
"But enough about last week because that was then and this is now and now is tonight when you all get to see the best in the bidness do what he does best and that is beat down some stupid ass idiots for your own viewing pleasure! You see I am Rocky Rhodes and I am the best in the world at being the best in the world and the best in the bidness and there ain't nobody man, woman or even Irish, who can stop me. So C*ntlegerm watch up closely and take notes because what you see tonight will be what you see the next time I put my foot in your ugly, stupid face."
Rocky drops the mic and takes up his position for the match.
Six Man Tag Match
Sarah Campbell, Ash Fi & Sammie Rósza vs. Danny Hope Jr., Big Dil & Rocky Rhodes
Much to the dismay of the fans, the heels managed to work as an effective unit during the early stages of this match. Big Dil and Rocky Rhodes in particular showed tremendous unity as they used their size to overpower the three women.
Hope Jr., however, showed those same tendencies that strained his partnership with Z on a previous show. The showboat blindly tagged himself in, much to the chagrin of Papa Z at ringside, but it paid off as he was able to catch Campbell by surprise with a bicycle knee strike. But he could only get a two count.
The heels pressed the advantage into the fifth minute as Big Dil hit Ash Fi with a running powerslam. But again Danny tagged himself in; this time it backfired, however, as Ash Fi was able to get the knees up to counter the lionsault. Rósza got the tag in and nailed Danny with a rolling elbow. A dropkick knocked the Briton out onto the apron, where he got caught by a triangle knee strike that knocked him all the way to outside. That’s when the match transcended into anarchy.
Big Dil and Rocky Rhodes hit the ring, but so did Ash Fi and Sarah Campbell. The Scotswoman made a show of drinking some Irn Bru on the apron before doing so, giving her all the strength she needed to take both men down with a double lariat! Ash Fi caught Big Dil with a cornered running double knee strike, and Sammie had Rocky set up for a rolling cutter when he managed to pusher away into Campbell!
The two women hit heads and Rocky levelled Sammie with a big boot to the face! Campbell fell victim to a bionic elbow and a leg drop, as Big Dil caught Ash Fi from behind with a clubbing blow to the back of the head. Their efforts were thwarted somewhat as Danny Hope Jr slid back into the ring and went for a cover on Ash Fi. But he could only get a two count. His partners watched on his disbelief as Danny tried to steal their glory so, on Papa Z’s instruction, Rocky and Dil teamed up to drop Danny Hope Jr. with a powerbomb/neckbreaker combo.
The three of them left the ring to a chorus off boos as Ash Fi started to stir in the ring. She saw Danny Hope down on the mat and, after a botched effort, managed to lock in a bridging inverted deathlock for the submission victory.
Winners: Sarah Campbell, Ash Fi & Sammie Rósza (9:52)
Backstage…
Cameras open suddenly in the back, where someone can be seen watching the tail end of the previous match. The figure is wearing some sort of denim jacket with the sleeves cut off, acid washed and with plenty of high-fashion design cues. As the camera pans out, it becomes clear that the figure belongs to Z, as he grits his teeth towards the screen, watching as Ash Fi gets her hand raised in victory.
“Pathetic,” he mutters, shaking his head with disdain. He turns to walk out of the production room, catching the camera just over his shoulder. He laughs, nodding a couple of times. “See? Aislin is so boring that the cameras would rather focus on me than catch her getting her hand raised. I suppose it’s a good thing, too, because that’s not going to happen at High Voltage.
“No, at High Voltage I’m going to show you the true power of Z. I’m not going to have some giant sack of dead weight holding me down. It’s just going to be me and you, Fi Fi. And just like the first time, it’s going to be my hand getting raised before the end of the night,” with that he winks at the camera, before stepping away as he obnoxiously chews his gum.
Tag Team Match
Adam & Chino vs. GBH (Harper Hill & The Jester)
GBH seemed to be in high spirits after a recent successful venture out to VORTEX Wrestling, and displayed that same level of teamwork to control the early goings here. With quick tags the isolated Chino Hills; The Jester slammed him down with a spinning headlock elbow drop and Russian legsweep, while Harper flew through the air with a corner slingshot corkscrew legdrop. But it wasn’t enough to get a three count.
By the fourth minute Adam Dragomirov seemed desperate for the tag in, but still GBH targeted his partner. Jester came close with a bridging dragon suplex, but Adam made the save for his team. After that Chino showed signs of life. He caught Jester with a standing double foot stomp as she charged in, and made the hot tag out to Adam!
Dragormirov hit the ring like a house on fire. Harper charged in, only to get caught by a spinebuster. Jester got up, but she got sent back to the corner with a dropkick before Adam fired off some rapid chops to the chest. Harper got back to her feet, and got sent to the corner with her partner where Chino hit a cartwheel back elbow that nailed both members of GBH.
Adam & Chino controlled the middle portion of the match as they focused on The Jester. A couple of near falls later and the frustrations began to show. That’s when Harper Hill was able to hit Chino from behind with a knee to the back as he hit the ropes. The Jester drilled him with a rolling elbow, and was able to make the tag out. Harper hit a low angle headscissors driver for a two count.
Hill followed up with a Bang To Rights (springboard stunner) in the eighth minute, but Adam was able to make the save again. But again Adam & Chino rallied together. They caught Harper with a bulldog down across the knee of Chino Hills, but their pin attempt was interrupted by the appearance of The Caffiends.
The tag champs stood at the top of the aisle, not moving towards the ring. But their presence distracted Adam & Chino enough; Chino leaned out through the ropes to shout at the champion, leaving Adam vulnerable as GBH spun him around and hit an aided pop up cutter, before Harper rolled him over for the three count.
Winners: GBH (9:27)
The Caffiends left, laughing as they went, and GBH attacked Chino Hills from behind. Jester managed to hit the bronco buster on Chino Hills before the sound of thunder roared throughout the arena! The crowd cheered as Thunderbelly ran down the aisle with a large hammer in hand! As he slid into the ring, however, both members of GBH bailed from the ring.
Harper and Jester headed backstage as Thunderbelly tended to the fallen Adam & Chino, helping them back to their feet as the crowd started to cheer for them. Adam & Chino thanked The Storm Bearer for the save before the three of them headed backstage as well.
Singles Match
Brutus vs. Thunderbelly
The SCCW champion seemed to have found his toughest challenge yet as The Storm Bearer came at Brutus with everything he has. With European uppercuts and forearm smashes flying, Thunderbelly wore Brutus down enough to be able to hit a leg hook Saito suplex for a two count.
Thunderbelly tried for a German suplex, but struggled to lift the 300 pounder as Brutus resisted. That’s when Thunderbelly Sounded the War Drums! (Multiple Forearm Clubs to an Opponent's Back). That was enough for The Storm Bearer to be able to hit the German suplex. But Brutus powered out at two, throwing Thunderbelly over a foot through the air.
And then he sat right back up. The crowd booed as Brutus got back to his feet; he caught Thunderbelly with an overhead belly to belly suplex, before sending him into the turnbuckle with a running powerbomb. Brutus showed off his brute strength moments later when he delivered a belly to belly over the top rope, bringing Thunderbelly crashing to the mat. But that was only able to get a two count. Brutus followed up with a deadlift powerslam, but still Thunderbelly kicked out at two.
The eighth minute rolled around and Thunderbelly finally found a way back into the match; a Thunderclap (Running Palm Strike) connected off an Irish whip, sending the demon back a step. So Thunderbelly hit another. And another! The crowd were cheering him on as The Storm Bearer dodged a lunging clothesline attempt, and lifted Brutus up onto his shoulders for an airplane spin. Ten spins later and Thunderbelly dropped his opponent before covering, but only for a two count!
Brutus found himself on the receiving end of Fury of the Storm (A series of rolling European Uppercuts finished with a rolling Polish Hammer), but managed to avoid the Polish Hammer! He threw Thunderbelly down with a German suplex. And another. Some mounted elbows to the head had Thunderbelly down, but only for a two count. So Brutus hit another turnbuckle powerbomb, but could still only get a two count.
The demon started to show signs of frustration as Brutus brought his opponent up for another deadlift powerslam, but not before he ran Thunderbelly into the turnbuckle first. This time it was enough for the three count, and Brutus picked up a hard fought victory.
Winner: Brutus (12:21)
The bell continued ringing as Brutus lifted Thunderbelly up again, this time dropping The Storm Bearer with a chokeslam before Brutus continued choking him while he was down on the mat. The boos were deafening, and only got worse as GBH hit the ring again. The Jester swung Priscilla, bringing it down across Brutus’s head before Harper Hill knocked him away with a running dropkick. They claimed that Thunderbelly was theirs to hurt, not his … before they turned their attention to Thunderbelly.
The crowd continued booing as GBH stomped at The Storm Bearer, before dragging him up for an aided pop-up cutter. They stood tall over their fallen foe, when Harper’s eyes widened. She tried to warn her partner, but she couldn’t save The Jester from Brutus’s grasp as the SCCW Champion dropped her with a release German suplex! Hill bailed from the ring and dragged The Jester out after her as Brutus stood in the center of the ring with his belt in hand. The lights went out for a few seconds, and when they came back up he was gone, leaving only GBH and Thunderbelly behind.
Backstage…
Malika and Jasmine are standing around a monitor, watching Brutus battle through his toughest test yet. They both smile as Malika asks her servant if Jasmine saw what she saw. Jasmine seems apprehensive, not wanting to answer as Malika points out that she just saw a weakness in the SCCW Champion.
Malika cackles again as she walks away, claiming that she’ll exploit that weakness as High Voltage in order to become the new SCCW Champion. But not before they beat the SCCW Tag Team Champions!
MAIN EVENT
Tag Team Match
The Caffiends vs. Malika & Jasmine
Malika & Jasmine came out the gate swinging as they targeted Sullivan Pibb in the early stages. Malika seemed to be directing traffic as Jasmine had Pibb set up for a bulldog – NO! Sullivan was able to push her away in mid air. As Jasmine got back up, she was hit with a Northern Lights suplex and a discus lariat, but she kicked out at two.
Dewey Dresden got the tag in and drilled Jasmine with a huge spear, throwing all 270 pounds into the torso of Jasmine. The Caffiends looked towards Malika on the apron, but with self-preservation on her mind, she dropped off the apron, leaving Jasmine open for the Livewire Ride (powerbomb/neckbreaker combo) and the three count after only five minutes.
Winners: The Caffiends (5:06)
After the match, Malika was making her way backstage when the lights went out again. When they eventually came back up after a few seconds, Brutus was standing right behind her; Malika backed into the demon and quickly ran away, vaulting over the guard rail to safety as the SCCW Champion raised his belt in the air as his number one contender escaped through the crowd.
