Episode 24 Fallout

Post-Main Event:
William King is kneeling in the ring as the barbed wire ropes are being removed by ring crew, medics tending to Mongo as Kathy Queen comes in with the Openweight Championship Belt and a microphone.

King: "Now you see... now you see a glimpse of the carnage I am willing to inflict to keep my championship title. I will punch you, I will hit you with a weapon, I will tear your flesh open with my teeth, and I will strangle the life out of you to keep this title. And you also see that everything I inflict, I can endure as well."

One of the medics comes with a towel to King, and King takes the towel and throws it out of the ring.

King: "If you don't want me to pull a Negan on your ass you get out of my ring now. There IS a barbed wire bat in this ring and as we've seen I know how to use it."

The medic wastes no time in complying with King's request.

King: "BLACKBIRD Sora. I don't care about your lifestyle. I don't believe in treating anyone who faces me in this ring differently because of their gender. I'm an equal opportunity destroyer. You have a long and successful career to look forward to. If you want to keep it that way, do yourself a favor, and step down. Because if you don't... they might not have enough of you left to send back to Japan."

King puts the mic down and holds up the title, and Kathy LICKS THE BLOOD OFF KING'S FACE as the cameras fade.

Backstage:
Mongo is still being tended to by medics as Harland A Sanders is by him on crutches.

 Sanders: "Mongo! What the hell happened! We were so close to having every championship in PGCW and YOU BLEW IT! I have half a mind to throw you back into the nuthouse if you keep failing me like this Mongo..."

Walter Cranston heads up to him.

Cranston: "Mister Sanders, can you please let the trainer tend to your client while I discuss your next match?"

Sanders: "Next match? Cranston, my knee was SHATTERED by Alex Kelley."

Cranston: "Funny, according to the report I got from the Florida State Athletic Commission, they said your injury isn't too severe to keep you out of action for more than two weeks. Of course if you feel that prognosis is incorrect you can focus on your managerial career... but you would have to forfeit your championship title."

Sanders: "...Alright FINE. Who am I facing?"

Cranston: "Well, the top contenders currently are Plane Shift and your other team the Arch Rivals. As I don't want to just hand Arch Rivals a title match and we don't do simple rematches here in PGCW, the most obvious solution would be a number one contenders match... unfortunately Spider Jack has a prior engagement and won't be able to compete..."

Sanders pumps his hand.

Cranston: "...Buuut there is someone who will be cleared to compete this Saturday who is looking to compete and has a partner. I'm speaking of course of Johnny Jones..."

Sanders: "Oh come ON..."

Cranston: "And his partner is Mister Photogenic, Alex Kelley."

Sanders: "WHY"

Cranston: "Because they deserve it. Have a good evening, Mister Sanders."

And in a PGCW exclusive, a video DVD was sent to us, with a picture of a spider on the label:

On the video three men are shown on a background of a black flag, with in silver the letters D and S on both sides and in the middle, a silver spider with a black V imprinted on it. Two of the men are in all black hoods, the other man, front and center, has a shaved head and red and black facepaint.

Man in Middle: "My name is Joey Venom. And these two men, well... you will know who they are when the time is right. I've been in this business for fifteen years, and I've won titles and left devastation in my wake in every major territory in the US... except Florida. And now it's time for me to correct that. And I'm bringing these two men with me to take PGCW over. We are the Deadly Venom Society, and we will make America violent again."

William King:

"This Saturday... I go to war with Mongo in a barbed wire deathmatch. And I bet Harlan Sanders is really wishing his team got to choose the stipulation for this match. Because I'm not sure if you guys have realized it yet, but I picked this match for two reasons.

"The first reason is simple. I want to torture Mongo. I want to make him suffer, make him bleed, to send a message to the rest of Proving Ground Championship Wrestling... if you want to take the Openweight title from be you better be prepared to die for it, because I'm willing to kill to keep it.

"As for the other reason well... King doesn't lie... I chose this specific reason for a tactical purpose. Mongo can't run barbed wire ropes. No running Mongo Boots. Now, Mongo's shown at the Halloween Special 8-Man tag that he can get the job done just as well with his powerbomb.... but that's still Mongo's best weapon GONE. Whereas the Cthulhu Clutch? I don't need to run ropes to do that.

"Mongo will bleed.... he will suffer. He will scream for mercy. And then, I will choke... him... out."

Episode 22

Alex Kelley:

"Before I talk about CHICKEN CLUB, let me talk about Johnny Jones. Fortunately the worst hasn't come true for Johnny, he's going to be alright. He's under a medical suspension for a couple more weeks but soon he'll be back in the ring.

"Now this means yes, I'll be facing RIP and Harland A Sanders by myself. One against two, elimination rules. Sanders is going to try to take me out of wrestling forever. But you know what Sanders? I'm planning on doing the same thing to you. You set your bounty on me, you sicced the Arch Rivals on me, and all because... I was beating up your boys. Kinda petty when you look at it. All that shit because I was winning? Well, you started it. I'm ending it.

"This is going to be the toughest fight of my career. No, the toughest fight of my life. But I'm ready for it because let me tell you something Sanders. You haven't seen how dangerous Alex Kelley can be in the ring. You've seen me crack skulls and knock teeth out, but you haven't seen what I'm REALLY capable of. See, there's two things that are going to happen. Either you're going to be given the beating of your life... or you're going to be given a beating so bad you won't even remember your name.

"But hey, there's a bit of good news for you Sanders... you won't have to worry about how you're going home tonight. Because you won't be going home... you'll be going to the ER."

Meanwhile:

Ben Davis was heading to the back when Scott Saphyre approaches him...

Scott: "Ben, what the hell? This isn't you man, what..."

Ben then punches Scott in the mouth and a security guard quickly steps between them as a second goes to escort Ben away. Scott meanwhile is just holding his jaw, looking more shocked than anything. Eventually, Scott shakes his head.

Scott: "DESPAIR. I'm gonna kick his ass."

Episode 21 promos

Jimmy Razor and Wrecker Jr:

Jimmy is walking backstage after his match when Wrecker Jr comes up and shoves him.

Wrecker: "What's your problem?"

Jimmy: "Oh Wrecker, I was just on my way to tell you..."

Wrecker: "We're NOT tag partners. YOU broke us up."

Jimmy: "Look man, I wasn't thinking straight then, okay? I was in the middle of a move, and at the same time my brother got kicked out of his place..."

Wrecker: "You said you only had two sisters."

Jimmy: "Well one came out as transgender."

Wrecker: "...Anyway, I'm not teaming with you."

Jimmy: "Look, let's just give it one more chance, okay? I mean, our opponents are the Arch Rivals. Everyone beats them! And besides, we're both on a winning streak we got momentum..."

Wrecker: "..."

Jimmy: "I'll let you pick out our theme song."

Wrecker: "...Fine. But DON'T blow it this time, or I'm putting your ass through a table."

----------
CHICKEN CLUB:

Sanders: "WE GOT GOLD BABY! The first of many! Now those two DND playing weirdos are saying I used leverage in that pinfall but that's NOT TRUE! See, this is the media, the dishonest media is rigging things against CHICKEN CLUB and I have proof that I did not pull on Spider Jack's ring gear and I will be releasing it very soon. I'll have it ready sometime before the end of the Age of Capricorn. Swearsies."

Then, Mercy Toombs walks by, wearing mirrored sunglasses.

Toombs: "Excuse me, Mister Prescott, may I have a word?"

RIP: "Yeah, alright."

Toombs: "Alone, please."

Sanders: "Hey, he's my bodyguard, so... yeah, no."

Toombs: "...You have four other people to watch your back Mister Sanders, I'm sure you'll do fine. Besides, your car is being towed."

Sanders: "What... fine! Go!"

CHICKEN CLUB sans RIP walk off, and Toombs smirks a bit.

Toombs: "So, Mister Prescott, I'll make this quick. How much do you owe the Yamaguchis?"

RIP: "...I have no idea what you are talking about, lady."

Toombs: "Is that so. Well, if you do have an idea, please give me a call."

Mercy offers RIP a business card which he accepts, then she walks off.

RIP: "Hey... why does the CIA care if I owe money to the Yamaguchi family?"

Mercy stops and half-turns to him.

Toombs: "I have no idea what you are talking about, Mister Prescott."

Then continues to walk off.

Episode 20

Comissioner Walter Cranston was in the back.

Cranston: "Well ladies and gentlemen it's been another crazy week here in PGCW but in three weeks it's going to get a little bit crazier as we'll be having our first ever Halloween Costume Party Battle Royale. The winner and the one with the best costume will each get a cash reward and a chance at... oh hell..."

The camera pans to Johnny Jones clutching his shoulder in agony as Alex Kelley talks to him.

Kelley: "Dude, you have nothing to apologize for. Get healthy, alright?"

Cranston: "Mr Kelley, Mr Jones, how..."

Jones and a trainer go past and Kelley steps up.

Kelley: "We're looking at either a dislocation or a rotator cuff injury, I think... we'll need to see what the guys at the hospital say."

Cranston: "I don't mean to be callous, but if he can't compete then I'm going to have to postpone or cancel-"

Kelley: "No, fuck that. I'll fly solo."

Cranston: "...Are you sure?"

Kelley: "The sooner I kick Sanders' head off, the better."

Cranston: "Alright. To give you a fighting chance though I'm going to add one more rule; the 'one-in-one-out' rule will be strictly enforced. If they double team, or break any count, at all... RIP will be eliminated, and Sanders will be going against you one on one."

Kelley: "Works for me.

Post Ep 19

Walter Cranston is backstage with William King, Kathy Queen (who is making out with King when the promo opens), Alex Kelley and Johnny Jones.

Cranston: "Alright... you guys won and... King, Queen... can you PLEASE stop for one minute so we can do this?"

They stop, Queen's hands all over King as they look towards the commissioner.

Cranston: "Alright, so, let's talk about the matches each of you receive. Now Johnny, you made the first elimination, so I'll give you the first pick."

Jones: "I want BLACKBIRD Sora. Two out of three falls, to settle which of us is better."

Cranston: "That's easily doable. In fact, let's make it interesting. We'll make it a number one contender's match. Queen, you're next."

Queen: "I want El Gringo Diablo, to get payback on that pudgy doofus."

Cranston: "Well, that's going to be a problem, see we haven't had contact with him since..."

Then, DESPAIR's Herald appears.

Herald: "This one can confirm that Ben Davis, formerly known as El Gringo Diablo, will answer that challenge."

Cranston: "Formerly known?"

Herald: "He has dispensed with his jovial charade."

Cranston: "And how do you know..."

Lights out, lights on, the Herald is gone.

Cranston: "Okay then. Moving right along... Mr. Kelley?"

Kelley: "I can't have Sanders one on one, right?"

Cranston: "That is correct, I'm afraid."

Kelley: "In that case I want Sanders... AND RIP. Elimination tag team match."

Cranston: "So you and Johnny Jones?"

Kelley: "Yeah, that's the plan. If you're in Johnny?"

Johnny nods.

Cranston: "We'll do that then. And last but not least... King, you get Mongo, any stipulation, name it."

King: "That camera's on right?"

Cranston: "That's why the red light is there, Mister King."

King: "Hey Mongo. Fuck you. We're having a barbed wire deathmatch, motherfucker."

Cranston: "Alright then, well, I'll go and make those matches official, each of you have a good night."

Cranston walks off, and Kelley and Jones look to King.

Kelley: "Hey man. Look, I know you didn't ask for my help so I'm not expecting a thank you. But, hell, we made a pretty good team. Maybe we should do it again some...time."

King and Queen are already making out again, and the others just walk off.

Kelley: "Jeez they have a match together and get all over each other."

Jones: "Maybe it's a fetish?"

Post 18 Promo

Alex Kelley: "I should have won that match. It was the best I've been in months, my kicks were at my sharpest, my wrestling was at it's crispest... my flying had him reeling... but I let my guard down for one second and he got me. And that's not an excuse, that's just what happened, I got cocky and paid for it.

"And I was out. The first Reaper Kick, I was out for a second too, and I came too and I hear Matt Weston counting TWO, and managed to get my wits back just enough to get my shoulder up. The second kick... I woke up and 'Don't Fear The Reaper' was playing and I knew it was over.

"I'm pissed but it's not over. I got the eight man tag and if we win I get what I want anyway. RIP, I want to face him another time, but for now... my goal's right on swatting that annoying fly named Harlan A Sanders IV."

Then, the CHICKEN CLUB come into view.

Sanders: "Kelley, Kelley, Kelley. How long have you been in this business? You should know by now to read the fine print of everything you sign. Because if you did, you would have noticed that in the contract to face RIP... it was stipulated that you cannot get a one on one match against me if you do not defeat RIP one on one first. Now, if you get another shot at him... and you win, well, I guess that closes that loophole but things like that only happen in Rocky movies and Kelley... you're not Rocky, and you're simply not TOO CRISPY. Later, Kelley."

CHICKEN CLUB walk by Kelley, with Archer pulling down his eyebrow and sticking his tongue out at Kelley who just stares a hole into Sanders' head.
