Backstage…
The feed cuts to the sight of a raggedy looking hat, propped up on the edge of a wooden chair. As the camera pans out, a pair of sheathed daggers are seen, as is a torn trench coat that is very familiar to audiences. The camera pans out more to reveal the figure that these items belong to, the foul mouthed Irish lass, Caintigern. She is in her usual mood, angry beyond belief and she begins to rant and rave about her experiences recently in FGA, stating that she feels cheated in her appearances, that odds are being stacked against her and that FGA and other companies of their type feel threatened by the talent of SCCW. From support of the company, she suddenly switches, then stating that the talent of SCCW feels threatened by her and the bookers keep trying to hold her back. But not anymore! It is at this point that her business representative, Bobby B. Barabbas makes an appearance. The hugely successful manager and promoter, who has seemed to have made some form of business arrangement as of late with SCCW, due to the appearance of a number of SCCW on his own branded show. He reminds Caintigern that times are changing, and her recent addition to the ‘Learning to Fly’ poster is an indication not only of their belief in her, but that all her hard work is finally paying off. Caintigern scoffs that it’s been easy for her, and the roster here are cakewalk for a fighter such as herself.
Barabbas raises an eyebrow at this, reminding her that tonight it isn’t about one, but about a team, as she will be teaming with Ally Miller, Cordozar Parrish and Z, and if she wants to have momentum going into ‘Learning to Fly’, she will have to work with them to accomplish this. Caintigern gives her manager one of her trademarked scowls, and the Drowned Goddess cracks her knuckles, saying that her opponents tonight should be less concerned with ‘Learning to Fly’, and should be more bothered about getting drowned tonight. Bobby nods, opening the door for his client as she grabs her effects, and readies herself for tonight’s contest.
Tag Team Match
Bricklyn Granger & Pattie Pearce vs. Big Dil & Rocky Rhodes
The big men dominated early on; Rocky threw Pattie Pearce around the ring with a side slam, a suplex, and some scoop slams, before Big Dil entered the ring and scored a two count off a body splash. In the fourth minute, Dil hit a running powerslam and got another two count before the fight back began.
Big Dil went for an Irish whip, sending Pattie towards the corner before he charged in – only to get caught by a big boot to the face as Pattie escaped over the top rope. Dil staggered backwards, but receovered in time to see Pearce springboard in with a corkscrew kick! And then the tag was made! Bricklyn Granger hit the ring like a house on fire, hitting Big Dil with a Mafia kick – but he didn’t go down! A King Kong lariat followed, but still he stayed standing. But the jumping neckbreaker did the job.
Granger took some aggression out on Rocky Rhodes, knocking him off the apron with a running forearm, before she turned her attention back to Dil. As he got back to his feet, Granger hit the ropes not once, but twice as she built up a head of steam for a thunderous King Kong lariat! And the cover got a two count before Rocky dragged her out of the ring. There he rammed her back first into the apron, before throwing her against the guard rail – so he didn’t notice Pattie Pearce fly out of the ring with a suicide dive lariat! Rocky tried to fight back, but ended up knocking himself out on the ring post after a misjudged running clothesline attempt, much to the chagrin of Papa Z at ringside!
Unfortunately for their opponents, Big Dil got back to his feet in time as he dragged Brickyln back into the ring with an apron suplex. He went for a big splash, but missed as Bricklyn rolled away to safety. Dil was on his knees holding his midsection as Granger hit another Mafia Kick. But still he didn’t go down. So Bricklyn and Pattie teamed up to hit a double lariat, and they dog piled on top for a three count.
Winners: Bricklyn Granger & Pattie Pearce (9:12)
After the match, Punisher Bryce Robinson appeared at the top of the aisle with a microphone in hand. He told Bricklyn in no uncertain terms that she got lucky tonight, but at Learning to Fly he’ll deal with her himself.
Granger accepted the challenge, telling PBR to come get some as the fans cheered. But PBR just collected his associates and headed backstage, saying that he’ll deal with her on his own time.
Backstage…
We cut backstage where Claire James approaches Iwan Christ, who is stretching and preparing for his eight man tag match later tonight. After catching his attention long enough to get an interview out of him, she asks for his thoughts on qualifying for the Sloppy Joe Memorial Tournament, as well as his thoughts on the other participants and his opponents for tonight.
He gives the seven other participants in the tournament props, and though he may not agree with some of them – the likes of Cordozar Parrish, Z, and Caintigern springing into the conversation briefly – he knows that all of them will present a challenge when 'Learning to Fly' comes around. However, he plans on giving them just as much of a fight, and tonight, he is going to prove that. For now, 'Learning to Fly' is on the back burner – Iwan is one-hundred percent focussed on the show tonight, and what this match could mean going into the tournament.
Claire, who appears to still be trying to figure out parts of what he said through his thick accent, thanks Iwan for his comments before letting him continue his match preparations and sending us back to the action.
Eight Man Tag Match
Caintigern, Ally Miller, Cordozar Parrish, Z vs. Blake Belladonna, Iwan Christ, Ash Fi, Zaqiel
Unfortunately for all involved, the match never really got started. The heels didn’t seem to have any intention of letting their opponents reach the ring as Caintigern attacked Iwan Christ during his entrance.
Ash Fi came to his aid, but she got taken down by Cordozar Parrish before Blake Belladonna ran down the aisle. But she was soon confronted by the peculiar Ally Miller, who freaked Blake out a little bit by imitating her movements and expressions. Z entered next, already brawling with Zaqiel as the Australian was sent into the guard rail.
Caintigern hit Iwan with the Silver Spear and Tonic (Rolling Spear) in the aisle way, before helping Ally take on Blake Belladonna after their Twitter spat earlier tonight, The Irishwoman wrapped a chair around the back of the fitness instructor … just before the tide started to turn. Zaqiel overpowered Z, driving him back first into the guard rail as, nearby, Ash Fi managed to dodge a Cordozar Parrish attack and counter with a double arm DDT onto the steel ramp!
Ash Fi and Zaqiel turned their attention towards Cait and Ally Miller, who braced themselves for impact as Miller took up the same fighting stance as the Irishwoman. But they were both caught by surprise by the rising Iwan Christ behind them. They spun around and got caught by a double clothesline that knocked them down. Miller got up first, but she got taken down by Ash Fi as Caintigern seemed to grab something from her boot. Zaqiel went to lift her up, only to eat a brass knucks shot to the face!
Christ backed off as he saw Caintigern rising with the weapon on her fist, and Z and Cordozar getting back to their feet behind her. Iwan, Blake, and Ash Fi helped Zaqiel back to his feet as the backstage staff got in the middle of everyone to stop this brawl from going on any longer.
Winners: No Contest
Earlier Tonight…
The feed cuts to what appears to be outside of the Sussex Academy, the camera seemed to positioned on the ground as it tilts upward, focused on Delaware's favorite Asgaardian Amphibian, who was currented seated on a blue moving crate. Grasped in his hands was the handle of his trust war hammer, while the black head of the weapon rest on the ground. Above Thunderbelly himself loomed the ever darkening skies over Georgetown, a low rumble sounding off as well.
His regal tones soon following, The Storm Bearer reflected on the events that have proceeded High Voltage. While it still boils his blood to think GBH are out causing havoc and mischief right beneath his own nose, he was given the opportunity to possibly vanquish a mightier plague to "the County of Sussex." He gained the opportunity to once again face off against the Demon that is Brutus by defeating DJ Ronie, this time for SCCW's top prize that Brutus seemingly has an unclenchable grip on. Though, Thunderbelly would rather fall in battle then cower away from from a challenge, all the same, he is wary of Brutus' might. Despite his best efforts in their first contest, he could not better The Demon, and the ill effects of the match still linger even now. As he is now, he cannot say if he is truly ready to face Brutus once again, but by the oath sworn on his hammer, come victory of Valhalla, Thunderbelly will stop at NOTHING to purge Sussex County of The Demon's evil!
"But, these are matters to be dealt with another day! For tonight, The Storm Bearer is set to duel with Dickie Harter; the baby sibling of... The Midgaard King.... And a Champion within the hallowed lands of Sussex himself!"
While the Shadow that is Brutus looms, Thunderbelly must admit his excitement to square off with the Rising Star Champion! A young man with much promise, a fire in his eyes, and a mighty knee to boot! To see such a fierce spirit invigorates the Storm Bearer, and reminds him of his own fledgling days as a warrior himself! But, tonight he shall truly be tested, "Though your precious golden belt is not at risk this night, Dickie Harter, tonight we find out how worthy you truly are to call yourself a Champion of Sussex! Come, young Harter! Allow this old warrior to prove his worth against new blood! Allow yourself to be tested against one so war worn! Let us both learn this night how worthy we are to truly call ourselves warriors! On the horizon, tis victory or Valhalla for us, but this night, let our enemies and opponents bear witness to what awaits them at Learning To Fly! May they learn what it truly means to be known as Champion!"
Singles Match
Thunderbelly vs. Dickie Harter
The match started with both men jockeying for position; Harter managed to use his speed to dodge most of Thunderbelly’s attacks, taking the masked man down with some arm drags and a headscissors takedown that sent Thunderbelly out under the bottom rope. From there Dickie was able to his the handspring over the top rope moonsault, before he dabbed for the crowd.
Harter pressed the advantage for a couple of minutes, switching to a strike and move tactic as he peppered Thunderbelly with chops and forearm strikes. A lariat in the third minute knocked The Storm Bearer down, but the senton attempt got countered by some raised knees! Harter howled in pain, but Thunderbelly didn’t relent. He targeted the back, utilizing both his pumphandle and uranage backbreaker variants to score some near falls. But Dickie kept kicking out.
The sixth minute rolled around, and Harter fell victim to the Ride the Lightning (Running Turnbuckle Powerbomb, followed with a European Uppercut). But still he kicked out in time. Thunderbelly rallied the crowd, starting up a dual chant as the crowd was split between the two men, but The Storm Bearer was undeterred. With an inverted facelock applied, Thunderbelly lit up his opponent’s chest with Sound the War Drums! (Multiple Forearm Clubs to an Opponent's Chest), which was soon followed by Thunderstruck (Swinging Sideslam Backbreaker). But still Dickie kicked out!
The match ticked into the eighth minute before Harter found a way back in; he dodged an axe bomber attack and countered with a handspring back elbow to the face! A spinning kick to the midsection doubled Thunderbelly over, allowing Dickie to hit the running kneedrop facebuster for a two count, but it wasn’t enough. So Harter went for the Dickie Driver (Tombstone piledriver) – NO! Thunderbelly reversed it, bridging backwards into a tombstone of his own!
Victory looked assured for the Storm Bearer, when he got laid out by a huge German suplex! The crowd’s cheered turned to boos as the SCCW Champion, Brutus stood over the fallen Thunderbelly as the referee called for the bell.
Winner: Thunderbelly (10:26)
Brutus threw Dickie Harter out of the ring with a gorilla press slam onto some backstage staff who were coming down to break up the fight, before turning his attention back to Thunderbelly. He laid into the masked man with repeated elbows before choking him, using that choke hold to bring Thunderbelly back to his feet.
Brutus threw Thunderbelly into the corner and charged in after him – NO! Thunderbelly got the big boot to the face! Brutus staggered back as the crowd started cheering, before Thunderbelly charged at him with the Thunderclap (Running Palm Strike)! Brutus got back up, but Thunderbelly was ready for him with the Green Power Thunderbomb (Blue Thunderpowerbomb)! The Storm Bearer got back to his feet after that, posing for the crowd as he thought Brutus was down…
But the SCCW Champion sat right back up and glared at Thunderbelly, who listened to Dickie’s shouts from the outside to back away and live to fight another day. The two men looked on from ringside as Brutus stood back up, and held his title belt aloft before the lights went out. When they came back up, Brutus was gone, and both Dickie and Thunderbelly were left wondering what the hell just happened.
Backstage…
The Caffiends are standing by, ready for their upcoming match with the SCCW Tag Team titles slung over their shoulders. Sullivan starts by saying they were ready to just dismantle Malika & Jasmine tonight – but if those two dweebs could do so, then maybe they wouldn’t have been a proper challenge for a team such as The Caffiends! Dewey continues by saying they’d welcome a proper challenge, which is what the Small Boob Wrecking Crew are offering them.
Dresden states that he and Sullivan have been dominant here in SCCW since day one, beating whoever Ben Hanson has put in their way. But never have they had some fishes jump into the boat, so to speak. It doesn’t even matter to The Caffiends whether or not the SBWC know what they’re getting into, what matter is that after tonight, The Caffiends will be walking out of Georgetown with two sets of tag titles!
MAIN EVENT
SAP International Tag Team Titles
Small Boob Wrecking Crew © vs. The Caffiends vs. GBH vs. Adam & Chino
The match started with Annie Zellor and Harper Hill facing off, and right off the bat the experience advantage came into play. Zellor practically ran rings around Hill, dodging most of the rookie’s attacks and hitting a wheelbarrow bulldog, followed by a running basement dropkick as Hill popped up to her knees. After that she tagged out to her partner.
Miss Fortune didn’t fare much better as Zellor seemed ready for her. The champion planted her opponent with a pop-up Gory bomb, before The Caffiends’ impatience got the better of them. Dewey stormed the ring and drilled Annie from behind with a lariat, before throwing her out through the middle ropes. The referee seemed happy to operate under scramble rules, and the match continued as The Caffiends worked together to try and wear down Miss Fortune before their title match in a couple of weeks at Learning to Fly.
But neither Pibb’s discus lariat, or Dresden’s stalling vertical suplex could keep Miss Fortune down for the three count. The Crimson Baroness tagged herself in off as MF was sent against the ropes; she managed to catch Pibb from behind with a chop block, and he rolled out of the ring to let Chino Hills burst onto the scene with a rope walk meteora to TCB! The match continued in the same frantic fashion for a few more minutes, with quick tags and everybody trading the upper hand.
The match ticked into the eighth minute as Dewey Dresden had Adam Dragomirov backed against the ropes. He charged in, but Adam was able to pull down the ropes to cause Dewey to tumble all the way to the outside. Sullivan Pibb entered the ring and tried to do the same thing, but he was caught from behind by Chino Hills and a running dropkick that knocked Pibb out alongside Dewey. Adam & Chino wasted no time in taking their opponents out with dual suicide dives! After that, The SBWC entered the ring and performed tope con hilos over the top rope to take all four people down on the outside. But the crowd’s cheers had barely died down before the GBH members scaled the turnbuckles nearest the pile; Miss Fortune and Harper Hill both leapt off with crossbody blocks to the outside, taking out all six people!
Normal service resumed shortly thereafter, as Harper Hill rolled Annie back into the ring. Her anger at her earlier humiliation surfacing as Harper drilled her opponent with a Boma Ye. But only for a two count. She followed up with a low angle headscissor driver, and a penalty kick. But still Annie kicked out in time. GBH even got the chance to double team Annie, hitting With Intent (Hart Attack) but TCB broke up the cover. She took control for her team, hitting Miss Fortune with a spinning back fist and the Dom’ed (double arm DDT) – but MF rolled out of the ring before she could be covered!
The Caffiends took the chance again; Dresden folded TCB up with a huge spear in the eleventh minute, scoring a two count before Annie made the save. Pibb knocked both members of SBWC out of the ring, giving Adam & Chino the opening they needed. Dragomirov knocked Dresden out of the ring with a running dropkick, before they turned their attention to the smalled Pibb. Adam hit him with a Mafia Kick, before Hills took Pibb down with an Arm Trap Swinging Vertical Suplex – but Dewey dragged him out of the ring to break up the cover.
That let Harper Hill re-enter the ring, taking Adam Dragomirov down with the "Poppy Plunge" (Ripcord Jumping Neckbreaker) for a two count, before Annie Zellor made the save! The two tussled again, ending with Annie hitting a monkey flip that sent Harper Hill right into the arms of an unwitting Sullivan Pibb. With Harper hanging upside down, Annie drilled her with a basement dropkick to the face, before Pibb planted Harper with a kneeling piledriver! But he could only get a two count before Harper kicked out.
The sixteenth minute rolled around, and the inevitable Tower of Doom spot occurred. Adam & Chino had TCB was on the top rope as Adam & Chino were trying for a double team superplex, when The Caffiends snuck up behind them. Dewey & Sullivan combined to hit them with a powerbomb as Adam & Chino superplexed TCB across the ring! The three downed competitors rolled out of the ring, distracting the referee enough that the GBH members were able to enter the ring and catch The Caffiends with low blows from behind! They pushed Dewey out of the ring again, turning their attention to Sullivan as they dropped him with Assault & Battery (Aided Pop-Up Cutter/3D). Harper went for the cover…
NO!
Annie Zellor made the save in the nick of time! The two tussled again, culminating in Zellor ducking a clothesline and delivering a superkick to the jaw of Harper Hill that knocked her out through the middle rope. But Miss Fortune was still active as she snuck up behind Zellor with a schoolboy, even grabbing the shorts – but only for a two count! Both competitors got back to their feet as Annie ducked a discus elbow attempt, countering with the Sparkle Princess Special (540 kick). MF was out on her feet as Zellor ran against the ropes, springboarding off the middle one for the Rough n Tumble II (springboard codebreaker) and the three count!
Winners and STILL SAP INTERNATIONAL TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: The Small Boob Wrecking Crew (17:49)
After the match, The Small Boob Wrecking Crew celebrated in the ring with their titles as the other three teams all got back to their feet on the outside. The SCCW fans cheered for the defending champions, much to the SBWC’s surprise, and the show ended with the AxxessNet logo.
