« Dark Match »

In what seems to be an unfortunate coincidence, neither of the three contestants for this dark match made it to London. The dark match did not happen.

[::After the introduction images we're taken to London, UK, inside the crowded Emirates Stadium as Ring of Beauty begins its overseas tour, landing at England for the last Primetime before Blaze of Glory. The fans, estatic for finally witnessing the World Championship tournament finals, as well as a lot of electrifying matches, showcase their signs that the cameras shoot as they fly over the arena. Some of them read...::]

MIKA FOR PRESIDENT

WE <3 SUSAN

and...

THIS IS THE TRUE NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS

[::The official theme for Primetime, Brooke Valentine's "Girl Fight" hits the sound systems and the image finally cuts to the announce booth where we're greeted by Don West and Joey Styles.::]

Don West: The night has finally come! It's decision time! Who is going to main event Blaze of Glory and fight Linda Ragnal for the World Championship: the Devil Victoria Valentine, or the homie Susan Rigger? Welcome to London, and welcome to Primetime! I'm Don West!

Joey Styles: And I'm Joey Styles! I tell you what, Don, mr. Gardner, our boss, has set this European Tour up and a lot of surprises are at hand. We could even hear the Devils being cheered on here!

Don West: That's enough to make me miss good ole America already, Joey, I'll tell you what. Anyways, we're witnessing two more contendership matches tonight, as we'll watch four-way for a shot at Ashley Riot's title and a six-women Gauntlet match for the Pure Championship!

Joey Styles: This match has everything to be a blockbuster, because it's the almighty Styx's return to the wrestling ring... And let's not forget Mika.

[::At this point Don face palms.::]

Don West: Don't get us started on Mikaela Demidov this early Joey... By the way, I'm having word the Pure Wrestling Champion Jasmine is backstage, do we have images?

[::The scene now cuts to backstage as we see an angry Pure Champion in Jasmine powerwalking down the backstage aisles, besides RoB's Talent Relations and hostess Melody Scwartz.::]

Jasmine: You guys must be kidding me, right? STYX! She can't wrestle a contendership match! You guys didn't even clear her for wrestling!

Melody: B-But Jasmine, it wasn't me who booked her there! She... She hasn't even arrived at the arena, we don't--

[::Jasmine turns to Melody and presses her against the wall, with a hand over Schwartz's throat.::]

Jasmine: Then if you don't want your Pure contendership house party be ruined by that juggernaut, be sure that she keeps not arriving!

[::After that, she leaves a stunned and frightened Melody behind her as she walks away. Primetime cuts to a commercial break.::]


« Opening Contest »

Ring Announcer: The following opening singles match is scheduled for one fall!! Introducing first... from Brooklyn, New York...weighing in at 126 lbs..... She is, THE BRAWLER FROM BROOKLYN....TALEAH WILLIAMS!!!

[::"Oops Oh My" starts to play over the PA system as Taleah walks out to resounding boos. She marches slowly towards the ring not paying attention to the people heckling her as she slides under the second rope and walks to her corner. Taleah then taunts the crowd as she stands up on the middle rope.::]

Ring Announcer: And introducing her opponent from Detroit Michigan.... weighing in at 120 lbs…She is, THE ROSE GODDESS....CRYSTAL HILTON!!!

[::All of a sudden “Superstar” by Lupe Fiasco starts playing all over the Pa system. All of sudden two spot lights are pointed at the entrance way. Crystal Emerges through the curtains and is greeted by multiple pyros that start shooting off one by one. Crystal cracks a evil grin as photographers quickly run up to the ramp way and begin to take pictures of her. Crystal smiles as she runs her fingers through her hair and a red carpet is rolled down to the ring. The Rose Goddess slowly makes her way to the ring. She finally makes it to the ring and places one foot on the apron and stretches the other one on the apron as well. She does a split to enter the ring and she finally makes it to her feet. Taleah just watches in disgust as Crystal pulls her self up looking her straight in the eye::]

Joey Styles: Here we go Don, tension already brewing!

Don West: I agree Joey. These two are cousin in laws by marriage. That being by the marriage of Crystal and Todd Williams. Todd is first cousins with Taleah and well, now look.

Joey Styles: What a coincidence! They hate each other!

DING! DING! DING!

[::After the bell is rung, Taleah and Crystal circle around the ring focusing each other and measuring their distance. Taleah is the first to make a move as she goes for the grapple, Crystal ducks the grapple and dropkicks Taleah in her right knee. As Taleah goes down on her knee the Luchadora, Crystal, bounces off the ropes to deliver another dropkick. Instead Taleah gets up to her feet quickly and steps out of the way from the dropkick and grabs Crystal by the head quickly, tossing her to the outside. Crystal falls down to the floor as Taleah smiles at her. Taleah then raises her arms in the air and a loud slur of boos come from ever part of the sold out arena in London. Crystal slowly gets up and slides in the ring as Taleah is taunting the fans. Crystal then tackles Taleah to the ground and gives her a few mounted punches to the head.::]

Don West: Wow this is getting heated, and quick.

Joey Styles: You could see the fire in Crystal's eyes!

Don West: She did say Taleah woke up the Rose Bitch!

[::The ref jumps down to the both of them and separates Crystal from Taleah as The Brooklyn born diva backs away and holds her face. She gets up to her feet and yells at Crystal “You Wanna play dirty?!!”. Crystal leans on a turnbuckle smirking at the angered Taleah. Taleah then charges at Crystal but before she can lay a finger on her Crystal counters the run with a drop toe hold making Taleah's face smash against the bottom turnbuckle.::]

Joey & Don: OUCH!

[::Crystal then drags Taleah up to her feet and smashes Taleah's head against the top turnbuckle. The fans count along...::]

1! 2! 3! 4! 5!

[::Taleah then manages to slam her forward into Crystal's face a few times before making her stagger. Taleah gains her composure before grabbing Crystal's head ramming her head into the turn buckle. Crystal stands motionless with her stomach agaisnt the turnbuckle as Taleah takes her fist and starts jabbing her back!::]

Joey Styles: Taleah is acting as if Crystal is a punching bag!

[::Taleah then backs up before laughing and throwing her hands up. "Its my turn now!" she says before grabbing Crystals head and slamming it agaisnt the top turnbuckle. The fans boo after each time her head hits the turnbuckle. She hits her head against the turnbuckle about three times before putting her head between Crystals legs and picking her up slightly on her neck driving her backwards, straight on her back.::]

Joey Styles: What a move by Taleah!

Don West: I didn't know she got that strength!

[::Taleah slowly makes it up to her feet holding her own back. She looks at Crystal who is still on the mat and gives her a couple of angry stops to his chest. Taleah then puts Tripp in a sleeper hold with Crystal still laying on the mat. Taleah tightens the hold as the ref checks up on Crystal.::]

Joey Styles: Crystal caught in the sleeper hold, will she be able to get out of it?

Don West: I sure hope so!!

[::Taleah tightens the hold even more as Crystal gains a little bit of like trying to break free from it. Crystal comes up short as she begins to weaken and Taleah grins in satisfaction as Crystal's arms then become wobbly. Taleah yells at the ref for them to come and check Crystals arms to see if she was put to sleep. The ref runs over and then picks Crystal's arm up for the first time. Her arms falls lifelessly.::]

ONE!!!

[::The ref lifts Crystal’s arm once again as it drops one more time.::]

TWO!!!

Joey Styles: She may be asleep!

[::The ref lifts Crystal’s arm one final time and lets go. But just as Crystal’s arm was about to touch the mat. It lifts back up and shakes in adrenaline. Taleah shakes her head saying “no” repeatedly as Crystal slowly makes it up to her feet with her head still locked in the sleeper hold. She gives Taleah a couple of elbows to the gut, and once the hold is broken free Crystal bounces off the ropes and when she comes back, she falls victim to Taleah's scissor’s kick! Taleah smirks once again and goes for the pin...::]

ONE!

TWO!

NO!

[::Crystal kicks out and Taleah gets up complaining to the ref and tells him to count faster. Taleah walks back to Crystal and Crystal then uses her feet to kick Taleah in the gut. Taleah holds her stomach in pain as The Rose Goddess slowly makes it up to her feet. Crystal then gives Taleah a clothesline. Taleah immediately gets up Crystal puts her back down with another clothesline. Taleah quickly gets up once more and then Crystal gives Taleah yet another clothesline as Taleah makes it up to her feet again. Crystal then gives her a hard scoop slam followed by a nice moonsault! She stays down for the pin.::]

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!!!

DING! DING! DING!

[::"Superstar" hits the sound system again as the Rose Goddess gets up victorious.::]

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner... CRYSTAL! HILTON!!!

Don West: Well apparently Dreamer's bloodline fell for the love ties!

Joey Styles: Big win for Crystal Hilton! Well done!


[::Backstage, as she gears up for her match, Katia B. is walking down the hall...when SMASH! Rishanna Blood comes out of nowhere and Superkicks her head in! Samantha walks in, and looks at the downed Katia while Rishanna takes a drink of alcohol.::]

Samantha: What the hell was that for?!

Rishanna: Because we can.

Samantha: We?

[::Then, Chrysta comes in from behind, and spins Samantha around, and hoists her onto her shoulders. Rishanna gets a quick backup, and SMACK! A Superkick to the head before Chrysta drops her to the floor. The Heartless look down at the destruction, and smirk.::]

Rishanna: That felt good.

Chrysta: Indeed, it did get out some packed-up anger...

[::Chrysta and Rishanna walk off.::]


« Match #2 »

Joey Styles: Um, yeah, I guess this is a singles match now...

Don West: Once again Rishanna interferes and ruins it all. Just great!

[::"Walking on Air" hits the PA system as Yara Fernandes enters the stage for a loud round of boos, but she doesn't really care. She waves and blows kisses for the crowd as she makes her way to the ring.::]

Ring Announcer: The following contest is a... uh... #1 contendership match for the Television Championship! Introducing first, from São Paulo, Brazil... YARA FERNANDES!!!

Don West: Yara would be a much more lovely person if she wasn't hooked on Brittany Knox.

Joey Styles: Yes, the presence of the Blonde Phenom is making her attitudes unpredictable and unpleasant. Let's see how does she fare in this new shot at the TV Championship.

[::After she enters the ring and warms up by running-on-spot, "Generator" by Bad Religion hits the sound system for a big cheer round as Chinatsu Chen enters the stage doing the V sign, accompanied by her wacky manager, Crimson Ghost.::]

Ring Announcer: And her opponent, escorted to the ring by Crimson Ghost, from Tokyo, Japan... CHINATSU CHEN!!!

Joey Styles: Chinatsu has already proved she is talented, so she could give Yara a hard time tonight.

Don West: Also, it should be noticed that Crimson Ghost is in no ways whatsoever related to Gabrielle Marie Cramoise.

Joey Styles: ..................

[::Chinatsu enters the ring and at that exact moment, Yara spears her down and starts pummeling her with a flurry of slaps to the head! The referee has no option other than start the match at the spot.::]

DING! DING! DING!

[::The match having started, the ref has the authority to take Yara off of Chinatsu. Yara does get up and patiently waits until Chen is on fours... only to grab her head and spn her around, planting the poor japanese wrestler's face into he mat relentlessly!::]

Joey Styles: BEAUTY BASHER!!!

Don West: ALREADY?!

[::After that, Yara smirks and covers.::]

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!!!

DING! DING! DING!

[::"Walking on Air" hits the sound system again as Yara smirks proudly and raises her hand in victory.::]

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner... YARA FERNANDES!!!

Joey Styles: I'm having word this is one of the fastest matches Ring of Beauty has ever seen. Seven seconds!

Don West: The Heartless' interruption sure did change the flow of the match. Yara didn't even sweat!


[::As Primetime comes back from commercial, "The Shit Is Bananas" by Enur plays as the crowd instantly starts to boo the arrival of the Television Title champ, Ashley Riot. She appears on the ramp way with a microphone and the TV championship belt. Ashley makes her way to the ring and gets in.::]

Don West: Well, Ashley Riot is supposed to be defending her championship next, but apparently, she has some issues at the stage first.

[::She looks out to the crowd with a rather pleased look on her face.::]

Ashley Riot: You can keep booing. It's cool. But first, I'd like to draw your attention to the title I'm holding. Pretty cool, huh? It's the very title that Sarah Richardson has the unfortunate task to try to win from me in a moment. Sucks that she has no chance in winning it.

[::More boos, and Ashley shrugs.::]

Ashley Riot: Well, she DOESN’T!! But that's besides the point. I...I actually want to address something that I see happening in RoB...a serious problem. So, if it's okay with all of you, I'd like to address it. Don't worry, I'm not going to go on a tangent and call you all idiots to get cheap heel heat, that's just retarded. This is serious, and it needs to be brought to the attention of all that don't realize it.

[::Surprisingly, the crowd quiets down and Ashley gives a grateful nod towards all four sides of the ring towards the crowd.::]

Ashley Riot: Thank you. now, as most of you know, Eva Rodriguez, Nicky Silver and myself...we are the Violent Femmes. We came about a month or so ago, smashed our way on the scene...hell, I'm the Television Champion!! So...what does the competition have to say about it?

[::Ashley stands there for a moment, adjusting her TV title and looking out to the crowd, eyebrows raised. She spins in a circle slowly, shaking her head as she makes an exaggerated shrug.::]

Ashley Riot: And that about covers it. Nothing. And you know what it is? Denial. I know it's not that these people didn't notice us, it's that they don't want to. It's like watching a tornado rip towards your house and the only thing you do is turn your back and hope that if you ignore it that it'll go away.

[::Ashley snorts as the crowd actually laughs. Ashley holds up a hand with an annoyed look on her face.::]

Ashley Riot: Hey, hey...don't laugh. It's not their fault completely, some of this is your peoples fault as well. Don't see the connection? Well then, allow me to explain why.

[::Ashley coughs dramatically then sighs. She then goes to the edge of the ring and asks for a chair. When she's handed one she sets it up in the middle of the ring and sits down.::]

Ashley Riot: I'm sorry, I think I need to pop a squat for this one.

[::She laughs before taking a deep breath.::]

Ashley Riot: There is, most of the time, no better way to measure a company then by looking at the current champions. These people are SUPPOSE to be the epitome of what it takes to hold a title above all others. They are SUPPOSE to be our figureheads, our icons, the people whom we measure ourselves against when we want to see how far we have to go until we are ready to hold the limelight.

[::Ashley shakes her head slowly.::]

Ashley Riot: Champions. That IS what we have, right? I'd assume so. But when I asked, people could only name one, maybe two of them. And I'd wonder. I mean, I have an excuse; I'm new here. I don't know who holds the merits, who leads our company as being the best of the best. So...who are our illustrious champions?

[::Ashley looks from left to right at the silent audience then scoffs.::]

Ashley Riot: Well, shit!! It's a damn wonder Ring of beauty has survived this long. But, I foresaw this. I knew that no one was going to be able to tell me who or what are current champions are, so I took the liberty of writing them down...on the back of my cardboard title.

[::Ashley takes the title off her shoulder and looks on the back.::]

Ashley Riot: Well why not start off with my opponent from last week? Susan Rigger. What can I say about Rigger?

[::Ashley looks off into the distance, then back to the title.::]

Ashley Riot: Wow, nothing. That actually doesn't surprise me. Rigger didn't seem like a champion that actually DID anything, am I right? Sure, calling yourself 'The Suplex Queen' might hold some kind of merit in the planet she's from, but here it just translates out to big breasted bitch who like to toss people around because...she's a big breasted bitch. Wooo, personality abound in these parts. The messed up thing though is after losing to me she gets a chance to go for the world title? How does that exactly work? Do I need to start jobbing to people for me to get a world title shot?!

[::Ashley looks to the crowd in a confused manner as she sits back in her chair and crosses her legs in a masculine manner.::]

Ashley Riot: Let's move on here, shall we? Next champion. Hmmm...ah, Jasmine. Apparently she's something called the Pure Wrestling Champion? Well, I'm sure the less said about Jasmine the better. I mean, I guess she's the leader of The Devils? Right? Anyways, she's a champion. Why? Why not? Did she do anything to deserve it? Let's go with yes. And again, why not?

[::Ashley looks at the list in her hand and then shakes her head.::]

Ashley Riot: Jesus Christ this is terrible. All the way up to the RoB World Champion, who is someone named Linda Ragnal, it's all the same theme, the same...BULLSHIT.

[::Ashley gets up off the chair and then kicks it out from behind her. She shoulders the cardboard title and then starts to pace around the ring slowly, the expression on her face an annoyed one.::]

Ashley Riot: How can you people STAND it? This...this stale, bland air you breath with these so called wrestlers? Ninety percent of the roster couldn't wrestle their way out of a wet paper bag much less prove their worth in the most sacred of grounds.

[::Ashley stops in the center of the ring and holds out a hand in a questioning manner.::]

Ashley Riot: These people have no personality, no ability, no substance. They wrestle a few subpar matches and think themselves gods. You see them parading around their accomplishment like badges of honor. The best example? Destiny. Why? Well, she was the longest reigning RoB World Champion of all time.

[::Ashley gives an exasperated look while shaking her head.::]

Ashley Riot: I mean, come on. That's a stretch. Did Ring of Beauty close for eight months and when they reopened they just decided to let that count as a title reign? Maybe she fell into a coma for eight months and just let her keep the stupid thing? No, I know...implausible, right? I'm gonna go with the most likely scenario. Destiny, with the shred of talent she has, actually beat people for those eight months because, again!! The people she wrestled were just as bad as she was.

[::A pause.::]

Ashley Riot: Remember Rocky 3? Where Rocky beat all those idiots in the beginning until he faced Clubber Lang and got his ass handed to him? That's Destiny.

[::More boos mixed in with laughs are heard and Ashley rolls her eyes.::]

Ashley Riot: You get the idea, right? But again, this is what you all deal with, and it's what I've been struggling with ever since I showed up in RoB. A proverbial mental sodomy of unimaginable bullshit. The line is long and the competitors are many and while the people, not WRESTLERS because they hardly deserved to be called that, in the back steadily ignore the tornado coming up behind them, hoping that something, ANYTHING will make it go away.

[::Ashley goes to a turnbuckle and climbs to the second one and stand there, looking out into a silent crowd.::]

Ashley Riot: It won't go away. It can't and will continue to tear down all who are unaware. And who will lead the charge into the line of unbelievers, of fakes and retarded fuckin' primadonas? Me. The Violent Femmes. Because WE are the wave of the future, WE are the ones that will bring RoB out of the Dark Ages and into a light where talent, god-given TALENT is what bring you glory, not who you know or how well you do on your knees. TALENT. ABILITY. SKILL. These are the new currency for this new Era and god help you if you don't have it.

[::Ashley stands down from the turnbuckle and back pedals her way to the center of the ring.::]

Ashley Riot: So here is my request, my plea...no, my DEMAND. Ring of Beauty...STOP PRETENDING. Stop making excuses and face the bringers of your long overdue fate. Pull your head out of your asses and enjoy the scenery folks, because this, what you see here? It won't last long. The bland, empty reigns of your current champions are going to come to an end and there will be nothing, NOTHING any of you can do about it.

[::Ashley turns to the entryway and points.::]

Ashley Riot: So bring your Ragnals, your Destinys, your Riggers and your Jacksons. Bring all the ammunition and bring your prayers too because you're going to need ALL the help you can get. And on that final note I'll let you in on a little secret; divine intervention will NOT save you. Because I am Ashley Riot, and I AM THE FOUNDATION OF THIS NEW ERA!! Fear the Violent Femmes, bitches, because the end is nigh and NONE OF YOU ARE FUCKING READY!!

[::Ashley throws the mic to the ground as the crowd actually gets to it' feet and starts to boo loudly to the point where no one can hear themselves talk. Ashley goes to a turnbuckle again and stands on the second one, her head tilted up as she seems to soak in the boos, the crooked grin on her face telling everyone what she thought of them.::]


« Match #3 »

Joey Styles: Strong words... Can she back them up?

Don West: I don't know, Joey, only time will tell!

[::Glamourous by Fergie begins to play loudly all over the Pa system and Sarah emerges from the backstage. She smiles at the crowd, and the crowd greets her with a loud ovation of cheering. She smiles at them as she slowly begins to strut her way to the ring and as she does, sparkles begin to go off from the ceiling. When she reaches the ring, she just looks around for a couple of moments before slowly walks up the stairs and entering the ring. She stands in the middle of the ring, and awaits for her opponent to come out::]

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen the following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the Television Championship introducing first the challenger coming from Miami Florida... SARAH RICHARDSON! And her opponent, already in the ring, from Los Angeles California, ASHLEY RIOT!

Joey Styles: Well here we go seems like these two are finally going to lock up.

Don West: This should be a good match between the two women.

[::The match opens up with the two women circling around each other. Ashley grins as she places her hand up in the air wanting to engage in a test of strength andSarah smirks in return as she grabs a hold of Ashley’s hands locking the two together. The crowd at this point begins to get behind Sarah as they cheer the blonde on but before Sarah can even gain some momentum Ashley kicks Sarah in the gut sending the blonde to fall down on her knees. Sarah looks up into the eyes of Ashley and Riot doesn’t waste any time kicking Sarah with her assault of stiff kicks. Sarah takes multiple kicks to the head and moments later she falls straight down to the ground. She reaches for her head in pain and Ashley just shakes her head as she stares down at Sarah’s prone body on the ground. Ashley bounces off the ropes and she begins to run at top speed towards the other turnbuckle and she ends up flipping off of it and landing an elbow drop right into the chest of Sarah. Sarah reaches for her ribs in pain and Ashley quickly hooks one of the blonde’s leg for the pinfall::]

ONE!

TWO!

[::At the very last second Sarah is able to get a shoulder up and Ashley can’t believe it as she begins to question the referee about a third count not being made. This gives Sarah enough time to start making it to her knees and the blonde haired beauty is now on her two feet. Ashley tries to grab a hold of Sarah as she quickly begins to go on the offensive again. She tangles up into a grapple and whips her against the ropes and Sarah bounces off of them but as she runs back she is able to counter jumping at Ashley with a flying cross arm and she ends up sending the auburn beauty down to the mat.::]

Joey Styles: Don, Ashley has been dominating this match from the begginning but I think that move gave Sarah the opening she needed.

Don West: Now we will be able to see the Blonde Bomb explode.

[::Sarah wises back up to her feet and with the crowd backing her up she really seems to be in control of this match now. She picks Ashley up and whips her into the corner turnbuckle. With Riot’s body stuck in the corner Sarah wraps her arms around Ashley’s waist line and with all the strength that she has in her body she bridges her over backwards slamming her directly onto her neck. The sound of the German suplex can be heard from all over the arena but Sarah doesn’t let go off the hold as she moves back on her feet and slams her opponent once again on her neck. Ashley really seems to be in la la land at this point and Sarah knows she can’t let go now as she delivers one final german suplex and Ashley’s body hits the mat with a very loud thud. She looks like a crumbled heap on the mat and seems to be a shell of her former self as she doesn’t appear to be moving at all::]

Joey Styles: Sarah is on a roll now showing off her technical abilities with three consecutive German Suplexes.

Don West: She can do all of that but until she actually get’s a pinfall it doesn’t mean jack Joey.

[::Sarah starts to stand off to herself as she begins to think over her next move. Without thinking about it much she slowly starts to make her way over to where Ashley is and out of no where Ashley springs to life and she manages to give Sarah a hard lariat. Sarah does a complete 360 in the air as she lands on the ground and doesn’t appear to be moving at all.::]

Joey Styles: OH MY GAWD DID YOU SEE THAT POWER?

Don West: That clothesline came out of no where! Just when we thought that Sarah was in control of the match Ashley surprises us with a momentum shifter just like that.

[::Ashley slowly comes to life and she begins to crawl over to where Sarah is and stretches an arm over her for a pinfall attempt::]

Joey Styles: Ashely Riot trying to end this one early but will it be enough?

ONE!

Don West: It just has to be! There is no way in hell that anyone could kick out after a clothesline like that.

TWO!

[::As the referee goes to count for the third count Sarah is able to get a shoulder, and Ashley can’t believe it as she grabs with her hair with her hands and starts to bang on the mat. In her mind she is thinking about what it is going to take to take the blonde out so that she can walk out of here with here with her Television Championship in tact. Ashley at this point motions to the crowd that this match is over as she backs away from Sarah and motions for her Bolt from The Blue finisher. Sarah at the other hand is struggling to make it on her feet as she pulls on the ropes to help herself up. When Sarah is finally on her two feet she turns around and that’s when Ashley Riot begins to rush after the Blonde Bomb Shell. Sarah throws up her Star Struck kick in retaliation and what ends up happening is that Ashley’s kick connects with Sarah the same time that Sarah’s kick hits Ashley in the face. Both women fall down to the ground and neither seem to be moving and the crowd roars in excitement as the two women are laid out unconscious on the mat::]

Joey Styles: I don’t believe it, what a double ko! Ashley was ale to hit her finisher at the same time that Sarah was able to hit hers!

Don West: Who ever comes to life first will be the one to come out on top in this one!

[::The referee picks the arms of both girls and let the loose at the same time, as both fall down to the mat. The girls are totally offline.::]

ONE!

[::The re does the same thing again. And once again, the girls seem to be completely out.::]

TWO!

Don West: If neither wake up for the three count, it'll be a double count out!

Joey Styles: What a lame way of ending a title match.

[::The referee raises the girls hands again and lets them loose for the first time. Sarah's hand falls limp to the mat... While Ashley's is up straight!::]

Joey Styles: Ashley Riot is awake!!!

Don West: We've got ourselves a winner here, folks!

DING! DING! DING!

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner... And STILL Television Champion... ASHLEY RIOT!!!

Don West: Not the most awesome way to win, but Ashley did secure a two-week extension for her title reign.

Joey Styles: We're all looking forward to seeing what can Riot do after her strong words.


[::As we're again at backstage, we see a rather serious Miss Money in the Bank Alysson Gardner exiting her brother, RoB's CEO Christian Gardner's office for the evening. Down the hall the red head sees Bobbi Jackson leaning against the wall in her wrestling gear looking up at the ceiling. Holding her ipod in her hands as she has the headphones in her ears listening to music oblivious to her surroundings.::]

Alysson: *sigh*

[::The red head just walks by Bobbi, saying nothing to her girlfriend and stablemate. Her expression seems to get even more serious.::]

Bobbi: Hi to you too...

[::The blonde says looking down from the ceiling taking an earbud out of her ear just watching the red head walk away. Aly stops on her tracks and turns to her back, facing Bobbi. And says nothing, crossing her arms.::]

Bobbi: Stand there and judge me...That's fine. But I accepted you for who you were. All your flaws and imperfections. If you can't accept me for mine...well then, maybe you aren't who I thought you were...

Alysson: Judge you? Cool, now I'm judging you? Wake up! You sold yourself to Destiny TWICE! You cheated on me! And you don't want me to get mad at you?!

[::Bobbi looks down at the ground and says nothing as tears begin to well up in the emotional blondes eyes.::]

Alysson: ... I guess that sums up about everything...

[::And the Punk Princess starts walking to the stage for her match.::]

Bobbi: I guess it does...

[::Bobbi wipes the tears off her cheeks as she walks in the other direction with her head down as Primetime takes a commercial break.::]


« Match #4 »

Joey Styles: Well Don!! It’s been a great night of action and now we move to the tag team divison!

Don West: That’s right, tonight we find out if The Violent Femmes can continue to coexist!

[::The voices of Alysson and Gabrielle are heard singing together, “We will, we will rock you!" followed by a dramatic guitar riff from Queen as the song “We Will Rock You” begins to play through out the arena.::]

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, the following Tag Team Match is scheduled for one fall! First, making their way to the ring, from Paris, France, they are ALYSSON GARDNER AND GABRIELLE CRIMSON… THE ROCKING KITTENS!!!!!

[::After Aly and Gabby are heard singing, all the arena lights go off and blink wildly according to the "We Will Rock You". Alysson and Gabrielle are seen on the top of the entrance ramp stomping her feet and clapping, following the music. After some heating, the lights come back, and the girls run down the aisle, high-fiving the audience and rolling into the ring.::]

Joey Styles: Those two seem like they are on the same page. Hopefully we can say the same for The Femmes!

Don West: If we can’t, this is going to be one of the shortest matches in history!!

Joey Styles: You got that right, The Rocking Kittens can work like a well-oiled machine!

[::The lights flicker before going out in the arena, causing the fans scream and panic. A soft light pours from through the entranceway along with a thick fog.::]

Ring Announcer: And their opponents, accompanied by Maleek Raheem… EVA RODRIGUEZ AND NICKY SILVER… THE VIOLENT FEMMES!!

[::“You’re Going Down” by Sick Puppies plays as Eva walks through the entranceway, followed by Nicky, accompanied by Raheem. As the fans stand to get a good look at the team, it becomes apparent that the women quite as unified as The Kittens. Eva heads down the ramp ready for a fight, as Nicky makes her way down holding up her G2 title belt to the displeasure of the fans. Eva enters the ring, ready for a fight as her partner climbs in the ring, more intent on putting on a show than fighting their opponents. Outside, Raheem circles the ring like a shark, looking for any opening he can exploit to the advantage of The Femmes.::]

Joey Styles: This will be a good test of teamwork for both teams. Though, I suspect that the Kittens are the better unit.

Don West: I’m not so sure…while The Femmes haven’t seen eye-to-eye…they have managed to get it done in the end.

Joey Styles: Let’s get to the action in the ring!!

[::The referee for this match sorts out the teams and calls for the bell to start this match. Both teams talk to their partners, as Nicky and Gabrielle remain in the ring, starting this match out for their team. Gabrielle and Nicky lock up. Nicky overpowers Gabrielle and whips her into the ropes. Nicky then tries to nail Gabby with a clothesline... The Kitten ducks! Gabrielle goes off the ropes and takes Nicky down with a flying lariat. Both women make it to their feet, Gabrielle with a kick to the gut, she sets Nicky up for a suplex, which Nicky blocks. Nicky counters with a suplex of her own, and quickly gets up to her feet. She lifts up Gabrielle and throws a right jab... Gabrielle blocks! Gabrielle with a right of her own, NO! Block by Nicky!::]

Don West: What is this?!! A boxing match!!

Joey Styles: Nicky blocks another right from Gabrielle, kick to the midsection, DDT BY NICKY! Gabrielle is trying to get up, but Nicky is kicking her down!!

[::Outside the ring, Raheem pounds the mat, yelling for Nicky to continue the assault. The fans boo him, but he only laughs as he cheers his team.::]

Don West: Good tactic by Nicky.

[::Nicky drags Gabrielle to her corner and tags Eva in. Eva crashes with a forearm to the back of Gabrielle as she enters, and Nicky proceeds to kick Gabrielle in the gut and Eva with that elbow to the back of Gabrielle. Eva now whips Gabrielle into the ropes and powerslams her hard on the mat!::]

Joey Styles: So far Eva and Nicky are dominating Gabrielle!

Don West: Gabrielle better get a tag in to Alysson if her team is going to stand a chance.

[::As Raheem distracts the referee, Nicky slips back into the ring, looking to score a double team.

Joey Styles: Well, I don't think Eva or Nicky are going to allow that! They are setting Gabrielle up for a double team move!!

[::Eva sends Gabrielle off the ropes again. NO!!! DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE BY GABRIELLE! Both women just lost their heads! Eva is having trouble getting up and Gabrielle is dazed. Gabrielle is crawling towards her corner for the tag! Nicky rolls back to her corner, angry and frustrated. Eva gets up and sees Gabrielle... And pulls her leg, not allowing her to make the tag! The Pitbull drags Gabrielle to the center of the ring and hops over her as she drops a vicious elbow to the back of her head. Alysson pounds the turnbuckle in frustration. In the opposite corner, Nicky yells at her and flips her off.::]

Don West: LOOK!! IN THE RING!! IT’S A PLANE, IT’S SUPERMAN! Nah, it’s just the bird!

[::Eva sends Gabrielle into the corner hard as she follows her in with a clothesline!! Eva is setting up Gabrielle on the top of the turnbuckle. There's the tag to Nicky. Eva and Nicky climbing up and hooking Gabrielle…::]

Joey Styles: OH MY GOD!!!

[::As they lift Gabrielle, both women execute a suplex.::]

Joey Styles: SUPERPLEX FROM THE TOP!!!

Don West: That has got to hurt!!!

Joey Styles: Some good teamwork by The Femmes, but I think it is a mistake not to go for the pin here! Nicky is too busy showboating and playing to the crowd! Nicky now lifting Gabrielle. Nicky drops her down to the mat, falling slam!!! THE STAR MAKER!!!

[::As Gabrielle writhes in pain, Nicky drops down driving her fist into the Diva’s forehead. Attempting to make a statement.::]

Joey Styles: This is carnage by The Femmes!! They could have had this match won with that superplex, but they are just punishing The Kittens. Trying to send a message to the other teams!!

Don West: That message is stay the hell out of their way apparently!!

[::Nicky pounds away with those closed fists…and the referee is telling her to stop. Silver complies with the referee’s request, but not before giving the official a glare that makes her take a step back. Eva yells for Nicky to finish the match, but the rookie ignores her, continuing to punish her opponent. She lifts Gabrielle up and whips her into the corner. Nicky climbs up top and unloads those punches again! The crowd counts with every punch…::]

1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7!

Joey Styles: 8! WAIT! GABRIELLE WITH A DESPRATION POWERBOMB!!!

[::Out of nowhere, Gabrielle grabs Nicky's legs and powerbombs Nicky down! She crawls and covers!::]

ONE!

TWO!

Don West: WHAT THE HELL!! RAHEEM IS ON THE RING APRON!! GET HIM DOWN!!

[::As the referee has to stop the count to get Nicky’s valet back down, the fans boo loudly. The match should have been won, but Nicky has more than enough time to recover.::]

Joey Styles: NICKY KICKS OUT!!! But we all know that this match should have been over right there!!

Don West: It wasn’t fair, but that’s the breaks! Gabrielle needs to tag in the fresh Diva!!

Joey Styles: I think she's trying to now!

[::Gabrielle is crawling towards Alysson, as Nicky crawls towards Eva... Eva is tagged in! AND SO IS ALYSSON!!! Both women now charging one another, and Alysson with a hard clothesline!

Don West: Eva may be on a liquid diet after that!!!

[::Alysson takes the advantage by lifting Eva up and hitting a hard scoop slam. Alysson gets on her feet and then surprises everyone...::]

Joey Styles: OH MY GOD!!! SHOWSHOOTER!!! ALYSSON HAS EVA IN THE SHOWSHOOTER!!!

Don West: Look at Eva!! She’s in agony!!! This may be the match right here!!

[::Nicky starts to come into the ring, but the referee is on the job and quickly sends her back to her corner as Eva seems only moments from tapping out to the pain of the devastating submission.::]

Joey Styles: She can’t hold out much longer. Eva may be tough, but no one can last for long in a hold like that!

[::Eva reaches down deep as she manages to raise her upper body off the mat and starts to crawl towards the ropes.::]

Joey Styles: What strength by Eva!! She’s almost there!!

[::Just as she reaches for the ropes, Alysson pulls her back to the center of the ring.::]

Don West: Game over!! She’s done!!

[::The referee drops down to check for the submission as Nicky sees her chance and rushes into the ring.::]

Joey Styles: NICKY WITH A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF ALYSSON’S HEAD BREAKING THE HOLD!!!

[::The referee gets up and goes after Nicky, as she backs towards her corner. As the referee turns back to the action, Nicky goes back after Alysson. Gabrielle, still slightly dazed, starts to enter the ring, but the referee sees her coming. Gabrielle is trying to get in to help her partner, but it looks like the referee is making her go back to her corner! Eva and Nicky are taking the opportunity to double team Alysson! Nicky grabs Alysson in a fisherman’s suplex and lifts her up as Eva comes in and catches Alysson with a backbreaker as Nicky drives her down.::]

Joey Styles: THE BREAK-UP ON ALYSSON!!!

[::Alysson rolls around on the mat in pain as she holds her back, though Eva is in no better shape as she holds her knee in pain, still feeling the effects from the devastating submission she was freed from. Eva crawls out of the ring as Gabrielle, still arguing with the referee is enraged.::]

Alysson back up… Nicky launches off the top rope with a flying clothesline-- NO!! COUNTER BY ALYSSON!!! DROP KICK RIGHT TO THE CHEST!!! Nicky hits the mat hard as Alysson manages to turn the tables on her.::]

Joey Styles: ALYSSON WITH AN ANKLE LOCK!!! NICKY IS SCREAMING IN PAIN BUT WON'T GIVE UP!!!

[::As Primetime comes back from another commercial break we're taken to a studio where stands Melody Schwartz.::]

Melody: Hello there, dearies! I'm going to interview now one of the contestants for the World Championship, our second finalist... Victoria Valentine!

[::The camera zooms out and Victoria is seen on her brown leather and black wrestling attire with a sly smirk on her face.::]

Melody: Now, Victoria, tell us... You made your way up to the top expecting to face either your stablemate, Destiny Campbell, or your classical rival in Bobbi Jackson. But you're going to wrestle this final match against Susan Rigger. What are your thoughts about it?

[::Victoria chuckles and answers calmly.::]

Victoria: You see, Melody, I wasn't expecting to face anyone... Because true champions don't pick enemies, they're hunted by them. You remember I'm STILL RoB's longest Hardcore Champion ever, don't you? Heheh.

[::She flips her hair and smirks.::]

Victoria: Susan is a smart woman, but she's just not ENOUGH. And it's going to be absolutely lovely to show her homies here at London how much of a failure she is.

[::She then looks into the camera lens, smiling sensually.::]

Victoria: Susan, Susan... You don't have the least idea in what kind of terrain you're stepping on. Linda Ragnal and I have a long and healthy rivalry and, believe me, it won't be healthy nor last long for you if you get between her... and me.

[::Melody nods, happy that she wasn't humiliated by a Devil just yet.::]

Melody: The contender has spoken! Back to you, Don and Joey!


« Match #5 »

Ring Announcer: The following contest is a Gauntlet match, and will determine the number one contender to the Ring of Beauty Pure Championship! As a forewarning...to make the match simpler, the match will fall under Pure Rules, except there will be NO ROPEBREAKS!

[::"Korobeiniki" hits the sound system and Mika comes from backstage with her usual golden attire. When the song makes its halt to come back with a stronger beat, she raises her right hand in the air with the index, middle and ring fingers fully extended upwards, and white, blue and red pyros shoot behind her.::]

Ring Announcer: Entering the ring first, from St. Petersburg, Russia, she is the Golden Girl...MIKA DEMIDOV!

Joey Styles: Well, it's hard to argue most of the girls in this fight have earned a possible shot at the championship, but...Mika? When was the last time she won a match? She even lost to Jasmine in her title defense last week!

Don West: Redemption?

Joey Styles: ...nah...

[::Then she struts to the ring and waves to the booing crowd, where she waits for action...at least until the lights dim in the arena as "Dance with the Devil" hits the PA Speakers as fire blasts up on the entrance way as Styx walks through the fire and strike a sultry arrogant pose for the crowd.::]

Ring Announcer: And the first opponent...coming from Parts Unknown...STYX!

Joey Styles: WHAT?!

Don West: Styx, in the Pure title contest! This is gonna be great! She'll make Mika flatter than a pancake!

Joey Styles: I wouldn't be so sure about it, Don...

[::She walks down the ramp as a wall of fire shoots on both sides of her as she gets intot the ring and leans over the top rope looking out into the crowd scouting for a worthy soul for the taking. Her eyes soon land on a frightened Mika, and she approaches the middle of the ring, as does Mika. The ref rings the bell, and immediately Styx tackles Mika onto the mat, and throws flurries of punches at Mika's face.:]

Don West: And Styx starts the match off by-

DING DING DING!

Don West: What the-?!

Joey Styles: Just like I thought...

[::Styx herself stands up, confused.::]

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen...after Styx threw several closed punches into Mika's face...the winner by disqualification...MIKA!

Don West: WHAT?!

Joey Styles: Don, you know just as well as I do that if an opponent were to throw a closed punch at the other's face, normally under Pure Rules it's a penalty and a ropebreak is taken away, however, since no ropebreaks are allowed in this Gauntlet, Styx is immediately out of here!

Don West: Well, she sure doesn't look happy...

[::Styx, enraged by the announcement, Styx grabs Mika by the head and forces her head between her legs, and lifts her up into the air, then falls straight forward with a Last Ride powerbomb hitting the Russian before Styx leaves with an upset glare in her eyes. "End of Heartache" plays as Styx reaches the top of the ramp, and Lana Holmes runs out next.::]

Joey Styles: Lana Holmes is competitor number three in the Gauntlet! She's had a rough time since returning to Ring of beauty, but tonight could her night to make up for it and face Jasmine at Blaze of Glory!

[::Lana immediately slides into the ring and grabs Mika, whipping her into the ropes before nailing a spinebuster to the Russian woman. Lana pins.::]

ONE!

TWO!

[::Mika kicks out. Lana picks her up again, and whips her into the nearest corner, and hits a high knee into Demidov's face. Holmes grabs Mika's throat and forces her out of the corner, and hits a stalling STO before going for another cover!::]

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner...LANA HOLMES!

[::Lana raises her fist in victory, as a few other referees carry Mika out of the ring.::]

Joey Styles: Two out, and Lana has three other women to go through.

Don West: This should prove to be quite a challenge, Joey.

[::"Da Baddest Bitch" plays after Mika's taken backstage and out walks Evangeline Sinclair, looking determined for a victory tonight.::]

Joey Styles: Evangeline Sinclair and Lana Holmes. Neither woman has ever won singles gold in this company, but if they last long enough, they may have the opportunity at Blaze of Glory!

[::Evangeline and Lana lock up, with Sinclair getting the advantage by lifting Lana over her head with a belly to belly suplex that sends Holmes almost halfway across the ring. Sinclair then kicks at Lana's abck until she stands up, and then whips her into the ropes. Lana ducks a clothesline and rakes her fingernails into Evangeline's back, and then whips her into a corner. Lana hits a monkey toss on her and sends her in the middle of the ring, which gives Lana time to climb the top rope.::]

Joey Styles: Lana's going to the top rope, a risky move that might give Sinclair time to get up!

Don West: Too late.

[::Evangeline quickly gets up and climbs up to Lana while her back's still turned, and German Suplexes her off the turnbuckles! Evangeline herself climbs the ropes, and leaps off, hitting a Frog Splash before going to pin.::]

ONE!

TWO!

[::Lana kicks out. Evangeline whips Lana into the ropes before hitting a snap spinebuster that keeps Lana on her feet, but as Lana doubles over, evangeline heads to the ropes and scissor kicks Lana down. Evangeline goes for the pin.::]

ONE!

TWO!

[::Another kickout from Lana. Sinclair picks her up once more, but Lana shoves her out of her way and dropkicks Evangeline into a corner. Lana then grabs Evangeline's throat and prepares for another So, Goodnight! but Evangeline elbows her way out of the move and hits a Fallen Angel Powerbomb! Evangeline then locks in an Inverted STF to Lana, who's close enough to the ropes that she can reach them...but unfortunately, the ref can't do anything due to the rules of this fight.::]

Don West: Well, it's official, Lana's between a rock and a hard place at this point. Can't counter the hold, can't break it...

[::A few seconds later, Lana taps her palm into the mat.::]

DING DING DING!

Joey Styles: And that's the end of that.

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner...EVANGELINE SINCLAIR!

[::Lana rolls out of the ring, grabbing her back in pain while Evangeline celebrates. Lana screws the ramp, and walks through the curtain instead, which gives a clear ramp as...::]

IT'S BRITTANY BITCH!

[::"My Prerrogative" plays as Brittany Knox runs down next, slidding into the ring as Evangeline kicks at her.::]

Joey Styles: We all know Brittany Knox's story at this point, looking to regain her Pure Championship after she lost it to Jasmine.

Don West: The best question is, can she?

Joey Styles: Well, she's facing a tired Evangeline, so the odds may be in her favor.

[::Brittany stands up and slaps Evangeline across the face. This causes Sinclair to act angrily and almost punch brittany...but she stops herself, realizing what happened to Styx earlier. This gives Brittany time, however, to kicks her in the gut, then grab Sinclair by the hair for a hair pull backbreaker. Brittany brings Evangeline back to her feet by pulling her hair, and lifts her leg up to meet Sinclair's throat, hitting the Knox Killer on The Franchise!::]

Don West: And Knox gets the upper hand before Evangeline could DQ herself!

[::Brittany stands up, and stands Evangeline up, kicking her midsection repeatedly before grabbing her throat and hitting a reverse STO to Sinclair! Brittany pins.::]

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING!

Ring Announcer: Here is your winner...BRITTANY KNOX!

Don West: And with a Plastic Disaster, Knox is one step away from getting what she wants!

Joey Styles: Onto the final competitor.

[::As Evangeline gets out of the ring and flips Brittany off, "Scandalous" plays as Stephanie Sullivan runs down to the ring, and immediately hops onto the turnbuckles and spears Knox to the mat!::]

Joey Styles: WHOA!

Don West: Stephanie Sullivan not wasting any time in this match! She just went right into Knox with that spear!

Joey Styles: It looks like she's going for a cover!

ONE!

TWO!

[::Knox gets her shoulder up. Sullivan whips Brittany into the ropes and hits a back body drop as she comes back. Knox then stands up and runs at Stephanie, only to be taken down by a drop toehold. Sullivan takes advantage of this by grabbing Brittany's leg and twisting it until Knox boots her off. Knox stands to her feet and spins Sullivan around. Sulivan immediately tries to clothesline her, but Brittany ducks underneath it, and hits a Blondie Drive to Sullivan before covering.::]

ONE!

TWO!

[::Stephanie kicks out. Brittany stands Stephanie up, and whips her into the ropes, but as she runs at her, Sullivan leaps and hits a tilt-a-whirl hurracanrana to Knox. Stephanie flicks her hair back as Knox crawls to the ropes, trying to stand up. Sullivan sees what's going on and kicks Knox to make sure her throat lays across the bottom rope. Sullivan backs up, and charges, hitting a Curb Kick to Knox! Sullivan goes for a pin!::]

ONE!

TWO!

[::A kickout from brittany! Stephanie, thinking now's a good time to end it, grabs Brittany and hits the Widow's Peak on her!::]

Joey Styles: The Sully Vin! That's it, it's over!

[::Stephanie covers!::]

ONE!

TWO!

[::NO! Brittany rolls Stephanie over, and grabs the ropes for leverage! With no ropebreaks, the ref has no choice but to make the count!::]

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING DING DING

Joey Styles: WHAT?!

Don West: That's it! Brittany's the new contender!

[::"My Prerogative" plays over the PA system as Brittany celebrates heavilly!::]

Joey Styles: Well...there you have it, the Pure title match at Blaze of Glory. Jasmine defends against Brittany Knox! Will she become the first two-time champion?!


[::Backstage at the arena, Linda Ragnal was walking around, holding the Ring of Beauty World title over her shoulder. She was looking for a certain someone, and of course, found her: Susan Rigger, who was doing her stretches in preparation for the match, sitting with her legs spread wide open as she reaches as far forward as she can to stretch her body good.::]

Linda: So there you are...

[::Linda walks up to Susan, a bit of rage in her voice.::]

Linda: So tell me something. What did you do to suddenly get a quick elevation in a tournament you weren't even originally involved in?

[::Susan narrows her eyes as she stops and stands up, her hands on her hips as she stares Linda in the eyes.::]

Susan: Oh, I don't know, maybe I've been the single most dominant wrestler in the company, defending my title for 3 straight months on each and every show.

Linda: That I can understand. But the issue here is that right before the tournament finals, you somehow take the spot of a woman I've faced before, and replace her in this match. Granted, she's lost to me everytime she and I were in singles competition...and yes, I can understand you being the longest-reigning Television champion...but even then, I would have been fine facing you after the tournament and Blaze of Glory were finished.

[::Susan crosses her arms across her expansive chest.::]

Susan: I replaced no-one who deserved a spot in this tournament. Bobbi was trying to shamelessly disgrace it, the title and the whole company. Destiny deserved to loose her spot as well for being part of that.

[::Linda sighs, scratching the side of her head.::]

Linda: I have to ask, Susan...what happened to you that gave you such a gigantic ego? Because this wasn't the Susan Rigger I met when I first joined Ring of Beauty...the same Susan that helped me out when Bobbi and I were going through problems...I don't know where that Susan went, and why the one I'm talking to now decided to turn against anyone that she ever once considered her friends.

[::Susan grits her teeth, hissing her words out through them.::]

Susan: I didn't turn on anyone who didn't first turn their backs on me. When I was going through a hard time, my career down in the dumps, no-one there to show even a hint of support. YOU weren't there! Bobbi wasn't there! Crystal damn sure wasn't there, she was too busy being a fucking diva! You all left me on my own when I needed you and NOW that I'm making my life work again you all think you deserve to be my friends. Well you DON'T!

Linda: That's not it, Susan! If you had just come to us, asked us for help, we would have given you that! We might not have talked to you, but dammit, Susan, we were still your friends!

Susan: BULLSHIT!

[::Susan growls with frustration as she shoves Linda back.::]

Susan: I have to BEG for your attention so I'd be worth caring about? You are NO friend of mine! A woman who didn't even KNOW me at the time cared MORE than any of you so called 'friends' did.

[::Linda's steps nearly knock her against the wall, but she shrugs it off, and fixes her title as it hands over her shoulder.::]

Linda: ...so you basically just bought into Jessica's words, words of a woman who hates her own sister. Congratulations, Susan, you've just become a tool in Jessica's plot to ruin her sister's life.

[::Linda begins to storm off, only to turn to Susan for a second to say...::]

Linda: I just hope you stay happy when she dumps your face in the dirt when she doesn't need you anymore.

[::And continues walking off.::]

Susan: You're thinking of the wrong sister, you stupid twat!


« Match #6 »

Ring Announcer: The following contest is a six-woman tag match scheduled for one fall!

[::I'm your Favorite Drug By Porcelain and The Tramps plays as the three champions of this fight walk out, standing on top of the ramp and soaking in the cheers before heading to the ring.::]

Ring Announcer: Making their way to the ring first, they are the Tag Team Champions of Ring of Beauty, carmen DeVega and Giselle Anderson, Bobbi's Angels, and the Ring of Beauty Hardcore Champion...DAISY MILASAKI!

Joey Styles: Last Primetime, The Heartless won the right to face the Angels for the tag team titles at Blaze of Glory by defeating the champions' own teammates in Alysson Gardner and Linda Ragnal.

Don West: And don't forget Daisy was beaten up after her title defense by Destiny, who basically made it personal for Milasaki's Hardcore title.

[::As the trio enters the ring, "Abintra" hits, and the three members representing the largest heel gathering in RoB quietly step out, not even looking at the crowd to see their disgusted faces. Destiny smirks, while Rishanna chugs what's left of the alcohol in her bottle, and Chrysta stares coldly at the floor until the move down the ramp.::]

Ring Announcer: And the opponents, representing the Devils, Chrysta and Rishanna Blood, the Heartless...and...DESTINY!

Joey Styles: What this match sums up to is this: It's those who want gold taking on those who have gold.

Don West: And we've seen these Devils holding the championship belts at different times since RoB started up, and we can see just how greedy they get with the titles in their camp...

[::As the Devils get in the ring, the teams split to their respective corners, leaving Destiny and Daisy to start the fight off. Daisy makes the first move by running at Destiny and immediatly flipping over her back for a sunet flip, but before she can roll Destiny up, the Poet lands a punch into Daisy's face, forcing her to let go, and lifts her boot up to kick Daisy's face to the ground. Destiny picks Daisy up and hits a body slam, following up with an elbow drop before covering.::]

ONE!

TWO!

[::Daisy gets her shoulder up. Destiny grabs Daisy's head, but Milasaki kicks her away and hits a legsweep to her. Daisy takes this opportunity to tag in Carmen, who steps right in and picks the dazed Destiny up, whipping her into the ropes and charging at her with a running headscissor takedown. Carmen hits a jumping elbow drop before pinning.::]

ONE!

TWO!

[::A kickout from Destiny. Carmen picks Campbell up and and whips her into the ropes again, this time hitting a Tornado DDT. destiny rolls out of the ring, grabbing her head from being hit so hard. Carmen then runs to the opposite ropes, ducks through the ropes and SPEARS Destiny into the guardrails!::]

Joey Styles: SUICIDE DIVE!

Don West: This match is gonna keep happening! Who will be the dominant team going into Blaze of Glory!?

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

[::As we return from break, we see Rishanna now in the ring, bell clapping Carmen's ears before hitting her with an enziguri.::]

Joey Styles: Welcome back from break, ladies and gentlemen, and if you're just tuning in, during the break, while Carmen and Destiny were outside the ring, Giselle tried to get outside the ring to see if Carmen was alright, but unfortunately the ref wouldn't have it. Rishanna Blood took advantage of that situation by hitting an Electric Chair Driver out of nowhere onto DeVega.

Don West: Daisy at least made the save, but it was still a hard hit on Carmen. She could've suffered a concussion!

[::Chrysta makes a cover.::]

ONE!

TWO!

[::A kickout from Carmen. Rishanna kicks her foot into Carmen's head, then lifts her to her feet and whipping her into her corner, following with a high knee into Carmen's face.Rishanna makes a tag to Chrysta, who gets inside the ring and lifts Carmen up into a suplex. Rishanna climbs onto the turnbuckle, and spears Carmen to the gound. Chrysta covers.::]

ONE!

TWO!

[::Carmen gets another kickout! Chrysta tries for a Chick Kick as Carmen stands up, but Carmen ducks, and scoop slams Chrysta into the mat!Carmen drags herself to her corner, attempting a tag...when Chrysta sits right up!::]

Joey Styles: What the-?!

Don West: She got up from that like it was nothing!

[::Even still, Carmen makes the tag, and Giselle runs in as Chryst has yet to tag someone in. Destiny runs in, but gets hit with a clothesline. Rishanna runs in next, but Giselle clotheslines her too. Destiny gets up again, and tries to clothesline Giselle, but Anderson ducks and hits a backdrop suplex to the Poet. Chrysta gets up again, but Giselle kicks her stomach and hits a gutwrench suplex. Giselle pins.::]

ONE!

[::Rishanna double axe handles Giselle in the back. Daisy grabs her and puts her into a headlock, but Rishanna shoves her into the ropes. Daisy hits Rishanna with a kick to the head, and then hits a faceplant to the hobo!::]

Joey Styles: DAISASTER STRIKES!

[::Daisy is distracted after this, however, as Daisy comes into the ring and hits her Iconoclasta to Milasaki! Destiny gets out of the ring after that, but Daisy recovers quickly to chase after her up the ramp.::]

Don West: Well, I guess that just leaves the Angels and Devils...

[::Carmen regains her strength long enough to pick up a recovering Chrysta and go for a Final Cut, but Rishanna comes from behind and SMASH!::]

Joey Styles: OH MY GOD!

Don West: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!

[::As the ref's not watching, Yara Fernandes runs into the ring, comes from behind, and hits the Psychlorama!::]

Joey Styles: Yara...what does she have to do with this fight?!

Don West: I heard somewhere before the show Yara made a deal with the Devils, but...I guess this proves it right!

[::Yara, of course, gets excited over her work, and only gets taken out of the ring by Giselle.::]

Joey Styles: Well, that's the end of that...

[::Giselle goes after Rishanna next, as she kicks Rishanna in the gut, and prepares for a Fall From Grace...but Chrysta picks her up onto her shoulders from behind, and sets her up for a fireman's carry.

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING! DING! DING!

Ring Announcer: Here are your winners...THE HEARTLESS AND DESTINY!

Joey Styles: Well, this unfortunately may be a sign of things to come for the Angels and their tag team titles at Blaze of Glory...


[::We go backstage, where Katrina Showtime is standing by, alongside Linda Ragnal who has the World title over her shoulder.::]

Katrina: Katrina Showtime here, alongside our RoB Champion Linda Ragnal. Linda, this is it, tonight one of the two finalists of the tournament will be crowned the winner, and will face you for the World title at Blaze of Glory. Is there anyone in particular you'd like to face?

[::Linda looks down at the ground, as if trying to store something inside, but then, she takes a deep breath, and speaks.::]

Linda: Well, Katrina...any other week, and I would have said either opponent. I would have said it didn't matter, since I know just how good a fighter both girls are, and I know them inside and out. I would have also wished either girl luck, and just told them that I look forward to a great match.

[::Linda nods her head, licking her lip as the expression on her face goes into a dissapointed one.::]

Linda: ...but the fact of the matter is...this week I would have to say Susan. Because honestly? The way she just suddenly got into the tournament? The way she managed to make her way into the finals without beating anybody else? That bugs the hell out of me. That Susan...that woman that's in the finals tonight...that's not the woman I knew. Why she took advantage of such a situation, I don't know. Ring of Beauty, for a good period of time now, has been built on RESPECT. I don't care if she did take out Destiny, it's the fact that she just found a way to insert herself into this fight. And Showtime...Showtime is guilty of this as well. But right now...I have my sights on Susan at this point...now if you'll excuse me, Katrina...

[::Katrina steps to the side, and lets Linda walk past her.::]

Katrina: Uh...back to you, guys.


« Match #7 »

Joey Styles: Tonight has been going good so far but it can only get better from here as our next match places the team of the World Champion Linda Ragnal and her partner Bobbi Jackson, The Angelic Kittens taking on Jessica Jackson and Kimberly Aries the NYCrew. It is a no brainer that a match needs no more introduction. For those who do not know Jessica Jackson and Bobbi Jackson are sisters who just do not get along.

Don West: Get along? These women have cost each other title defenses, and we all thought it came to a boil as Bobbi eliminated Jessica Jackson out of the Blaze of Glory tournament but clearly that isn’t enough so these women will be locking up once again but this time Bobbi has the aid of the World Champion in her corner and Jessica has the aid of her best friend and tag team partner Kimberly Aries in hers. With four talented women as these you just have to know that this match is going to be perhaps the show stealer of tonight.

Joey Styles: Not only that but these women represent 2 out of the 3 biggest stables in the Ring of Beauty company. So seeing these stable wars go on makes it even better to see which stable reigns supreme. Anyway I think you guys heard enough of us babbling on so we take you ringside where the partcipants of the following match are being introduced.

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen the following match is a tag team match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first representing the Angelic Kittens, Bobbi Jackson and Ring of Beauty World Champion LINDA RAGNAL!

[::All of a sudden "Live and Learn" by Crush 40 begins to play across the speakers. As the music plays, World Champion Linda Ragnal walks out onto the stage with Bobbi Jackson on her side., standing tall as she looks out at the cheering crowd, then raises a fist high. The two women walk down the ramp, high fiving fans on the way down, showing their appreciation for them. Once the music hits it’s chorus. The women eventually run into the ring sliding in. They wave to the fans once they are on the inside of the ring. The two women eventually stop as they wait patiently for their opponents to be announced.::]

Ring Announcer: And their opponents for the night representing Sexified Perfection, Jessica Jackson and Kimberly Aries... they are the NEW YORK CREW!

[::"Light It Up" by Rev Theory blasts over the PA speakers as Jessica Jackson struts her way out onto the entrance stage as she strikes a cocky seductive pose as the crowd greets her with a mixed reaction She isn’t alone as her best friend Kimberly Aries is next to her. Jessica just laughs as she slowly makes her way down to the ring but the expression on Kimberly’s face is different as she is all about business. The two women make it to the inside of the ring and they just stare over at their opponents who are on the other half of the ring. Jessica tells Kimberly that she will be starting the match, and Kimberly takes her place on the outside of the ring. Bobbi on the other hand tells Linda that she will be starting in the ring, and Linda stands on the apron. With that being said the bell rings and the match is officially underway::]

Joey Styles: Right off the bat the Jackson sisters are going to be starting things off for the evening.

Don West: The two women are going to be able to get rid of a lot of their frustrations early in this one.

[::With the bell being sounded Bobbi Jackson doesn’t waste any time spearing her younger sister straight to the mat. Jessica falls directly to the ground and with Bobbi on top of her she grabs her by the head and begins to deliver shot after shot to the face of her baby sister. Jessica tries her best to keep Bobbi off of her but Bobbi just seems to be too fired up too be stopped now. Bobbi easily brings Jessica to her feet and she whips the blonde into the corner. Jessica is dazed as Bobbi’s runs after her in top speed and before Bobbi could crush her Jessica moves out of the way and Bobb runs into the corner. Bobbi grabs at her neck in pain and Jessica takes the opportunity to stomp her older sister out in the corner. Jessica begins to do a seductive pose for the crowd and as she does Bobbi grabs Jessica and throws her into the corner. She backs up a bit an runs at Jessica connecting with a running knee, she hits Jessica in the gut, and afterwards grabs Jessica by the head. She has her locked tight and runs with her to the center of the ring dropping her down with a powerful running bulldog. Jessica’s body doesn’t move at all as she remains face first on the mat.::]

Joey Styles: Bobbi is fired up tonight. That match has only just started and she seems to be on a roll.

Don West: Of course Joey, Bobbi is here to teach her younger sister a lesson that she just cannot prevail over the older sibling. It’s like survival of the fittest and Bobbi is showing that she has a lot of fight in her.

[::As Jessica remains on the floor Bobbi slowly walks over to her and begins to think about what to do next but before she can even make a move Jessica comes to life low blowing Bobbi when the referee isn’t looking and Bobbi ends falling on her knees. Jessica slowly rises up and with a huge grin on her face she looks at her hand and uses it to deliver to the face of her sister. Bobbi doesn’t fall over yet as she remains on her knees and Jessica helps Bobbi up to her feet. She places her leg over Bobbi’s neck dropping down with a split legged drop. With her leg draped across Bobbi’s neck the referee drops down to make the count::]

Joey Styles: Jessica Jackson with a beautiful Split Legged Drop.

Don West: Will it be enough.

ONE!

TWO!

[::Bobbi is able to kick out and Jessica cannot believe it as she rises to her feet. She drags her older sister over to her corner and tags in her partner Kim. Jessica steps out of the ring and Kimberly Aries wastes no time entering into the ring. Kimberly is very aggressive as she grabs Bobbi by the neck and instantly begins to choke her out with the ropes. The referee begins to count for Kim to break the hold. One, Two, Three,….Before the count of four the Latina beauty breaks the hold and as Bobbi reaches for her neck in pain Kim begins to stomp Bobbi into the ground. Kim isn’t done yet as she yanks Bobbi to her feet and whips her into one of the corner turnbuckles. Kim gets down into a three point stance and runs to tackle Bobbi in the corner but as she is about to collide with her Bobbi is able to counter the move as she sunset flips over Kim and pushes her shoulder down for a pinning attempt. Kim can’t believe that she was caught with such a move as she tries to kick out frantically::]

ONE!

TWO!

Joey Styles: Could it be?

[::No!, Kim at the very last second manages to kick out of the move and when she does she goes right after Bobbi.on the other hand begins to crawl towards her corner and Linda Ragnal stretches her arm out wanting to tag Bobbi out so that she can join the ring as the fresh person. Just as she gets close to Linda Kim pulls Bobbi back and holds her in position as she holds her legs up and is about to stomp her out in the chest as her boot comes down Bobbi is able to move at the last second and Kim’s boot hits nothing but the bare mat. Bobbi at this point begins to crawl over to her tag team partner and when Kim finally realizes what’s going on a tag is made and a fired up Linda Ragnal enters the ring. Linda enters the ring and as she does Jessica makes a blind tag on Kimberly. The referee sees it but Linda doesn’t. Kim rushes towards Linda and Linda clotheslines Kim down to the mat. When Kim gets up Linda throws a kick at her but Kim manages to catch it thinking that she has the upper hand but Linda smiles as she uses the other leg to enziguri Kimberly down to the mat. With Kimberly down and out on the mat Linda begins to signal that the match is over as she lifts Kimberly up and places her on her back::]

Joey Styles: I don’t believe it, Linda is going to finish Kimberly off with her broken surfboard. This one just has to be over.

Don West: Don’t judge things too quickly Joey. Just remember Kimberly is not the legal woman.

[::Just before she can drop her Jessica rushes into the ring and spears Linda down to the ground. Linda falls down to the ground and Jessica turns Linda over and begins to apply her luscious lock in the middle of the ring and she yanks back on Linda’s head as far back as she can. Linda begins to scream out loud as she holds her hand out as if she was about to tap. Bobbi notices this and she starts to enter the ring::]

Don West: She has it hooked in, the Luscious Lock. Will she shock the world and make the World Champion tap out?

Joey Styles: Bobbi must be quick to save her or Linda is going to tap out and cost her team the match against NYCrew.

*** complete the match ***


[::Primetime returns to the backstage area with Katrina Showtime standing there with microphone in hand at the interview set up as she speaks to the camera.::]

Katrina: Ladies and gentlemen my guest at this time competes against Victoria Valentine for the number one contendership of the Ring of Beauty World Championship. She is London's own...Susan Rigger...

[::Katrina says as Susan walks into the picture standing beside the interviewer. Susan stands with her hands on her hips as she listens to the crowd's cheering.::]

Susan: It's good to be home.

[::Katrina nods at the acknowledgement as she continues the interviewer.::]

Katrina: I can imagine...Now Susan two short weeks ago no one expected you to even be here in this match yet here you are in the finals of the tournament after you were put in the tournament as a replacement one might say to go against Destiny.

[::Susan looks at Katrina along her nose as she replies.::]

Susan: Yes, there were two undeserving contestants that tried to shame this tournament and someone needed to step in and return so dignity to it. And you're looking at the single greatest potential source of prestige this competition as well as the title itself could hope for.

Katrina: Right...

[::Katrina says trying not to roll her eyes as she continues.::]

Katrina: What are your thoughts on your opponent tonight, former two time Ring of Beauty Hardcore Champion in Victoria Valentine?

[::Susan shrugs her shoulders a bit.::]

Susan: Valentine is a talented wrestler, no doubt, but it IS only natural she wouldn't make it in a division as competitive as the one that I've championed for the past three months, instead making a name for herself in the trash-wrestling division.

Katrina: To be fair the Hardcore Championship is one of the most prestigious titles here in Ring of Beauty.

[::Suddenly the microphone is grabbed from Katrina's hand as Dominique Frost steps into the frame, shoving Katrina down by her face again.::]

Dominique: Don't you go contradicting a REAL superstar like lady Rigger, you talentless hack.

[::Susan smirks at both the unapologetic way Frost muscles her way into the interview as well as the blatantly sucking up title she managed to tack into the sentence.::]

Dominique: Now OBVIOUSLY every title in Ring of Beauty has prestige, they ARE the most highly contested belts in women's wrestling today or any other day, but only one is defended on each and every single show we put on, so it's only understandable that holding onto such a belt for a lenght of time speaks very highly indeed of a wrestler's abilities.

[::Katrina mumbles something angry as she pulls herself back up to her feet and folds her arms across her chest pist off.::]

Dominique: Now, as my would-be collague should have went on to ask, should you be victorious tonight how do you feel about going up against an old acquaintance like Linda Ragnal for the biggest prize in our business?

Susan: Well, much like with Valentine, I recognize Linda's wrestling ability, it's no small task capturing a world title in any organization, much less the single most competitive one in the business, but I am simply a notch above either of them. I've wrestled ever since I was but a child, trained from birth to win, win and win some more. No matter who stands in my way, they shall all fall as I claim my rightful spot at the very top of the proverbial mountain.

[::Katrina taps her foot impatiently while rolling her eyes as she mouths the words "whatever..." Dominique glances over at the brunette beauty.::]

Dominique: Quit mumbling back there. You're about as much use as a stain on the wall, so just step out of frame and leave this to people with some actual talent to justify our job with the company.

[::Katrina huffs loudly and just slaps Dominique across the face. The young girl trembling with anger. Dominique grabs at her cheek, then smashes her in the face with the microphone and as Katrina goes down the blond interviewer stands over her, grimacing angrily.::]

Dominique: Don't you DARE lay your filthy hands on my beautiful face ever again, got it?!

[::Katrina just whimpers on the ground as Ring of Beauty Co-Owner Michael Showtime walks onto the set.::]

Showtime: What the hell is going on here?!

[::Susan raises an eyebrow, stepping back a bit to watch how the events unfold as Dominique steps away from Katrina, still looking pissed off.::]

Dominique: I was just conducting an interview, like I was hired to do, when your sister here decided to assault me.

[::Showtime takes the microphone out of Dominique's hand and points off the set.::]

Showtime: It's like I'm dealing with high school drama! I'm not in the mood to deal with this tonight...Get out of my sight!

[::Showtimes voice is stern and its obvious he isn't playing around. Dominique shoots one more look at Katrina before departing hastily. Showtime reaches down and grabs Katrina by the hand and pulls her up.::]

Showtime: Go wait in my office, me and you need to talk.

[::Katrina just nods sadly and walks off leaving Showtime and Susan alone on screen. The two just look at each other as Showtime speaks into the interviewer microphone.::]

Showtime: Sorry about that, I think I can speak for the rest of the people in attendance here tonight and that we wish you the best of luck in the main event tonight.

[::Susan smiles, nodding her head courtiously at the RoB owner's words.::]

Susan: Why thank you, Mr. Showtime. I appreciate everyone's support. I look forward to representing you all as the champion of Ring of Beauty.

Showtime: Now go get ready for your match alright?

[::Showtime says as he watches Susan walk away off the set kinda staring at her from behind as she walks away as Primetime heads to a commercial break.::]


« Main Event »

Ring Announcer: The following contest is the final match of the World Championship Tournament for Blaze of Glory and our main event of the evening! Introducing first...

[::"Bite The Dust" by The Pussycat Dolls hits the speakers as the lights in the arena begin to flicker.::]

Ring Announcer: ...hailing from LONDON, ENGLAND...

[::The crowd already explodes in excited cheers.::]

Ring Announcer: ...she is the Suplex Queen... SUSAN RIGGER!

[::Suddenly great flames burst from either side of the entrance ramp before the home-town girl steps out, excitedly jumping about as she welcomes the adoration of the crowd.::]

Don West: Just listen to that crowd go wild for Susan Rigger.

Joey Styles: I'm sure her fellow Londoners and indeed fans from all over Great Britain are excited to see her here and proud of the amazing streak she had as the Television Champion.

Don West: I'm sure they were marking out for her sudden inclusion in this tournament as well.

[::Susan skips down the ramp to the ring, then climbs up onto the apron. She blows a couple of kisses to the crowd as she leans against the ropes, then just flips over backwards over the ropes to land gracefully on her feet in the ring.::]

Joey Styles: Shades of her days first breaking into wrestling in the states with her pyro and flamboyant entrance into the ring.

Don West: And the crowd is just eating it up.

[::After a moment Susan's theme fades out and is replaced by "Not Listening" by Papa Roach.::]

Ring Announcer: And her opponent... from Phoenix, Arizona... VICTORIA VALENTINE!

[::The crowd's reaction is much colder as the stunning brunette bursts out onto the top of the entrance ramp. She seems to pout a bit, but then just raises her nose and walks down to the ring, ignoring the crow's jeering.::]

Don West: Ouch, no love for Victoria from this London crowd.

Joey Styles: She IS facing the local favorite, so I suppose that's only to be expected. Still, the atmosphere is a bit extra unwelcoming.

[::Victoria rolls into the ring and gets right in Susan's face, staring the grinning Britt down as they go face to face, Susan having to look up for her gaze to meet the taller woman's. The referee gets in the ring and separates the two women, checking that they're both ready before calling for the bell to start the match.::]

Joey Styles: And the finals of the tournament are now under way.

[::As the bell rings the two women come at one another, locking up in the middle of the ring. Susan is slowly forced back by the taller woman, but just as she's about to be forced against the ropes she slips right under Victoria's arm, wrapping her arms around the brunette beauty's waist as she pushes her into the ropes, then rolls backwards, taking Victoria over along with her.::]

Joey Styles: Susan's going for a pin already?

Don West: Wow, she sure doesn't work by the hour, huh?

[::But rather than pinning Victoria Susan keeps her arms wrapped around her opponent's waist and using the momentum of the roll she pulls her right off the canvas, the crowd gasping as she smashes the Vicious Valentine down shoulders first with a German Suplex.::]

Don West: Oh wow, no wonder she's called the Suplex Queen.

[::The referee drops down to make the count, but Victoria struggles her way free before he can begin, hurrying to get some distance from Susan as she rubs the back of her head.::]

Joey Styles: Trying to over-power someone as technically sound as Susan might not be the best strategy.

Don West: Luckily Victoria is no slouch in the ring either.

[::Valentine suddenly lunges at Susan, slipping right past the Suplex Queen as she grabs her ankle, yanking her foot up to make the busty brunette topple over, crashing down tits first against the canvas of the ring. Susan tries to hurry back to her feet, rubbing her breasts a bit as she does, while Victoria runs right past her and as Susan reaches her feet she's sent right back down by a stiff Clothesline right to the back of her neck. Victoria grins wickedly as she waist for Susan to stand up, measuring her up, then pivots sharply on one foot, brining the other around in a wide arc aimed right at Susan's head, but at the last moment her target vanishes from her sights as Susan ducks her head.::]

Don West: Uh oh.

Joey Styles: Victoria left herself open now.

[::Before Victoria can regain her balance after the missed kick Susan wraps her arms around the beautiful brunette's body, bridging her back to take her over in a Northern Lights Suplex. She maintains the picture perfect bridge, balanced on the tips of her toes and the top of her head as she holds Victoria's shoulders down against the canvas and the referee drops down to count the pin.::]

ONE!

TWO!

[::Victoria kicks out right after the second count and rolls to her feet quickly, taking a step back again.::]

Joey Styles: Susan is firmly claiming the advantage early on in this match with two pin attempts already.

Don West: Well, at the end of the day only the LAST pin of the match counts for anything.

Joey Styles: Very true.

[::Victoria and Susan approach one another again and just as it seems they're about to lock up against Valentine suddenly brings her knee up, driving it into Susan's stomach. As the busty brunette bends over Victoria grabs her around the waist, hoisting Susan's legs up before dropping her back first onto an out-stretched knee in a Backbreaker.::]

Joey Styles: Victoria is firing back again.

[::Victoria drops Susan, then jumps, extending her legs and dropping a shapely thigh across Susan's throat in a Legdrop. She stays seated, her leg pressing down on Susan's throat as she demands the referee count the pin. He drops to his knees, but this time it's Susan who pushes Victoria's leg off and brings her knees up before kipping back to her feet. Before Victoria can move away Susan snaps off a quick Dropkick, her feet connecting with the caught by surprise brunette's temple. Victoria grabs her head as she rolls away and right out of the ring. Susan doesn't let up though as she grabs the ropes, measuring Victoria up as the stunned Devil rises to her feet before launching herself over the ropes, arms and legs spread wide.::]

Joey Styles: Plancha!

[::As Susan's about to land on her Victoria suddenly sideteps, causing the buxom Britt crash and burn as she smashes down against the thin mats, grabbing at her chest as her eyes widen and she gasps for breath.::]

Don West: Oh God, that had to hurt.

Joey Styles: Both of these women are ready to compete for the biggest title in RoB and it certainly shows.

Don West: You said it, the level of competition is just amazing.

[::Victoria grins as she grabs Susan by the hair, pulling her up to her knees and dragging her along towards the steel steps. She then hooks her arm around the back of Rigger's neck and just falls back against the steps, driving the top of Susan's skull against them.::]

Joey Style: The tide of battle really seems to be turning against Susan Rigger here.

[::Victoria poses as she the crowd boos her for battering their home-town girl. She then tosses Susan into the ring and gets up onto the apron, then reaches between the ropes to grab Susan by the hair again. She pulls her to her feet, then wraps an arm around her neck again, pulling her forward into the ropes before twisting around and dropping off the apron to yank the back of Susan's neck sharply down against the second rope with a vicious Neckbreaker.::]

Don West: Susan is in big trouble here.

[::Victoria slides into the ring and pushes Susan over onto her back and lays on top of her for the pin, then as the referee drops to his knees she sneakily places her feet up onto the second rope, causing the crowd to raise their voices in angered boos again.::]

ONE!

TWO!

[::Susan shoots an arm straight up into the air, breaking the pin. Victoria stands up and grabs Susan by the hair again, pulling her up to her feet before grabbing her head with both hands and yanking back on it to send the back of the busty beauty's smacking against the second turnbuckle. Susan grabs at the back of her head, hissing through grit teeth with pain as Victoria grins, backing away from the corner before pushing her butt out at the booing crowd and giving it a loud smack with an open hand.::]

Don West: I sense trouble brewing for Susan.

Joey Styles: I think it might be time for Hearts Breaking Even.

[::Victoria measures Susan up, then charges at her, just as she's about to reach her foe flipping forward in mid-run. Before she can connect however Susan suddenly rolls out of the way and Victoria's lower back smashes right into the second turnbuckle before she lands awkwardly right on the back of her head. Victoria just writhes from the pain of her failed attack while Susan shakes her head to clear it up, pulling herself up by the ropes.::]

Joey Styles: That miscalculation really cost Victoria Valentine dearly.

Don West: You never ever want to make a mistake in that ring.

[::Susan grabs Victoria around the waist and with perfectly trained ease sends her smashing down on the back of her head with another German Suplex. Rather than go for the pin she tosses her legs over though, flipping backwards right over her doubled over on her shoulders foe, still gripping her tightly around the waist. She pulls Victoria back to her feet, then slides one arm up along her side, slipping it up under the stunned brunette's in a Half Nelson.::]

Don West: This doesn't look good for Victoria.

[::Susan grins as she bridges her back to take Victoria over again, this time smashing her down on the back of her head with even more fierce impact, Valentine's body just folding like an accordion upon impact before flopping over onto her belly limply as Susan releases her grip and stands up. The crowd is cheering their home-town girl as Susan takes a moment to catch her breath, leaning against her knees, then drags her thumb across her throat, signaling for the finish. She pulls Victoria back up to her feet, then slips her head under the barely conscious brunette's arm, sliding her arms around the back of Victoria's neck and her near leg, trying to lock her grip in place for the Regalplex. Before she can do so Victoria comes to enough to realize she's in trouble and the Vicious Vixens starts desperately struggling to stop Susan, finally just repeatedly smashing the point of her elbow against the back of Rigger's neck to force her to abandon the devastating Suplex. The moment she manages to slip out of Susan's grasp Victoria quickly pivots around again, this time connecting with a stiff Spinkick that sends Susan down hard, gripping her head in pain.::]

Joey Styles: Victoria Valentine manages to just barely escape the jaws of defeat.

Don West: But she's got her chance to take the win here.

[::Victoria pulls Susan up and along with her to the nearest corner of the ring, hoisting the shorter woman up onto the top turnbuckle before climbing up along with her. She stands Susan up, the both of them balancing on the top rope, then grabs her by the head and goes to swing her around to drop her into the ring with a Swinging Neckbreaker right off the top, but somehow Susan manages to hook her leg around the top rope, blocking the move so as Victoria goes for it her opponent's head just slips out of her grasp and she falls into the ring on her own, hitting the back of her head against the canvas as she does.::]

Don West: Oh man, that landing did not look good at all.

Joey Styles: Susan has her right where she wants her now.

[::The crowd cheers as Susan stands up on the top rope, turning her back to Victoria, then jumps and kicks her legs into a wide split so as she falls her toned thighs land on the top rope on either side of the turnbuckle and she just bounces off, doing a backwards flip as she soars through the air at her opponent in a big Split-Legged Moonsault, but just as she's about to land on Victoria the wily vixen brings her knees up and Susan lands stomach first on them instead, knocking the wind out of herself.::]

Don West: Oooh, that did NOT work out like Susan had planned.

Joey Styles: The beautiful aerial maneuver ended in disaster as Victoria wasn't as out of it as Susan had thought.

[::The crowd boos Victoria as she pulls Susan up and stuffs the buxom Britt's head between her legs and goes to hook her arms under Rigger's for her signature Flipping Piledriver variation, the Valentine's Daze. She gets one arm hooked, but Susan just refuses to give her the other, then suddenly the Suplex Queen just drops down, wrenching her arm free from Victoria's grip as she slips right between the surprised Devil's legs, then stands up to hoist Victoria high off the ground into an Electric Chair position. Susan tries to reach up and grab Victoria's arms, but her fiery foe isn't going along with it as she just starts raining down punches to the top of Susan's head, then as she feels Susan's sufficiently stunned Victoria dives forward, her legs hooked under Susan's arms as she goes for a Victory Roll, but just as she's about to slip through Susan's legs the buxom beauty suddenly drops to her knees, countering the pin attempt into one of her own. She presses down on the backs of Victoria's knees to press her tightly against the canvas, her shins pinning down Victoria's arms as the ref begins the count.::]

Joey Styles: Susan might just have her here!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING! DING! DING!

[::Susan chuckles as she keeps the trapped Devil pinned down for a moment more to rub her defeat in before she finally stands up let the referee raise her hand in victory.::]

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner... SUSAN! RIGGER!!!

Joey Styles: So it's Susan Rigger who wins this tournament and will be competing for the RoB World Title against the reigning champion Linda Ragnal at Blaze of Glory 2.

Don West: That is going to be a match for the ages, that much is SURE.
