Resurrection VI - Night 1) - May 12, 2017 (Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY)

“Nearly fifteen years ago, a legacy was born…”

(We see GCW superstars of old such as Dustin Windham, Crasher, Basher, and Jake “The Hearthtrob” Storm.)

“…that legacy would evolve into something even bigger…”

(The GDW logo flashes across the screen.)

“…but from the ashes would rise up a renewed legacy, a rebirth of the dream…”

(We see Glory Braddock, Jason Redfield, Marie Jones, Brittany Lohan, and others at the first Resurrection event.)

“…six ago, we bore witness to a Resurrection.”

“And now, six years later, we begin…”

(We see an image of Glory Braddock fighting with Julia Braddock, we see Gabriela Austin and Jessica Jones and The Truth squaring off in the ring, we see Laurel Anne Hardy and Allison Lorraine brawling, and finally we see Aphrodite Noel staring down Timothy Myers.)

“…again.”

"All That Glitters Is Gold" by Aliases hits the speakers, Signalling the arrival of "The Golden Standard" Alexander Midas to Resurrection. Needless to say, the crowd give him the exact kind of reaction you'd expect when it comes to Midas... boos, taunts and even some trash thrown his way. It doesn't seem to affect him, though, as he heads down the ramp towards the ring. The announcers discussed the fact that Midas didn't have a match for Resurrection, as a result of the stipulation laid out by Allison Mayberry after losing his World Title Match against Victoria Salinas a couple weeks ago on Shotgun. They make mention of how Midas said on Twitter he would still be at Resurrection, and they wondered what he had in mind.

Midas doesn't enter the ring at first, opting to grab a steel chair and toss it in the ring. Midas climbs into the ring, unfolds the chair, and sit in the center of the ring after taking a microphone.

Midas: I'm not going to wastte time with you peons, so let me get right down to it: What has happened to me is an injustice against, not only this very profession, but against yours truly! Because of one Allison Mayberry, I don't have a match at Resurrection...

The crowd cheers at that, pissing Midas off.

Midas: SHUT UP!!!

The cheers turn to boos.

Midas: As I was saying, because of Allison Mayberry, I don't have a match at Resurrection. This will not stand. So Mayberry, I DEMAND you get your ass out here, reverse your stupid stipulation and set up a match for me tonight or the third night. OR... this night simply won't happen.

The crowd, and announcers, are confused.

Midas: That means, morons, that unless Mayberry meets my demands, I'm going to sit right here in this chair in this ring! Unless she makes a decision, soon, you're not gonna have a show tonight!

Now it's the crowds turn to be pissed, and the announcers are appalled at the gall of Midas. Seconds pass, Midas looking at his watch here and there, and finally...

Mayberry: Enough!

Allison Mayberry walks out onto the stage, flanked by several uniformed officers.

Mayberry: Midas, I have had it up to here with you! You begged, whined and pleaded for me to give you a World Title shot! I did, with stipulations YOU agreed to...

Midas: I didn't agree to them!

Mayberry: Shut the Hell up!

Midas is stunned silent.

Mayberry: You lost that match, and therefore you didn't get a match at Resurrection! You should've taken it like it a man... instead, you're out here acting like a petulant child who didn't get his way! Well, since you're not part of the show, you don't belong in that ring, and therefore you're trespassing! So officers, if you would, please escort him from the building!

The officers head down to the ring. Midas stays where he is, refusing to budge. The officers enter the ring and tell Midas to come with them. Midas doesn't move, so they grab him under the arms and lift him up. big mistake. Midas quickly turns around and decks one of the officers. Now Midas made the big mistake, because the other officers quickly bring him down and cuff his hands behind his back. Midas struggles all the while, but they manage to haul him out of the ring and drag him to the back. Allison can't help a small smile watching this happen, and the crowd chants 'NA NA NA NA HEY HEY HEY GOODBYE' at him.

We cut to the back, where Midas is still being dragged out of the building. There are several people there, staffer and wresters, who are struggling to contain their laughter. Some, namely Timothy Myers and Kayla Jones, do openly laugh at the situation. Marie takes a picture on her cellphone of the handcuffed Midas as he's hauled off. As the camera heads outside, Midas is placed inside a squad car, and it takes off to the local jail. We go back to ringside.

Backstage…

Brittany Kayl can be seen standing by…

Kayl: “That’s right! I’m here for Resurrection VI, Night 1, and my guest at this time is about to compete for the GCW X-Division Championship as a member of the Livewire roster… Kendra Classic.”

Kendra steps into the scene.

Kayl: “Kendra, you’ve been highly touted as a signing for GCW after your previous home closed down. But tonight, you have an opportunity to do something you haven’t done in your mainstream career: Win Gold. Your thoughts?”

Kendra’s smile doesn’t fade, as she steps to the microphone.

Kendra: “May I?”

Kayl: “May you what?”

Kendra steps back and reaches into the back of her tights, pulling out a folded up piece of paper.

Kendra: “I prepared a few notes.”

Kayl: “Oh… okay…”

Kendra unfolds the paper, holding it out in front of her.

Kendra: “Resurrection is often known as the night legends are made. I remember watching years ago when Kayla Jones defended the World Championship against some humourless guy who’s appeal I never quite understood. I remember watched Victoria Salinas win the World Title here. I remember watching Chantelle Chambers become a really big deal just last year. I have always known that I would be on this stage, and with the opportunity to add some shine to an already fantastic career, I look to make a memory.”

Kayl: “Okay, but that doesn’t actually answer my question.”

Kendra: “Maybe if you asked better questions, you would get them answered. The point is that tonight, people are going to recognize… they’re going to remember my name after tonight. Resurrection will be CLASSIC!”

Kendra smiles for the camera, making her exit from the area… the scene shifts.

[The show cuts backstage in the Barclays Center and the fans at ringside can be heard roaring at the sight of Janice King standing by waiting with a microphone in her hand as we find ourselves in the interview area. With the nod from the cameraman to say they’re live, Janice brings the microphone up and with a huge smile, begins to speak.]

Janice: “Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time, X-Division champion Cody Lindberg-Knight and Christy Hightower!”

[The cheers turn to boos instantly as the camera tracks back slightly and Cody and Christy enter the shot to Janice’s left. With the X-Division championship over his shoulder, Cody has a broad smirk on his face and Christy matches it with one of her own as Janice starts to address them.]

Janice: “Cody, Christy, last week the two of you were on the same side in that X-Division showcase eight person tag match… where you surprised by the fact that you were able to work as a team with Kendra and Drake to pick up the victory?”

Cody: “Let’s be honest ‘ere love, the fact that last week dint turn into a clusterfuck is a bit of a fuckin’ miracle, ain’t it? See I get that a match is a match and everyone wants to be on the winnin’ side an’ all that, but I also know that everyone in that thing ‘ad an eye on tonight an’ let’s remember what’s on the line out there… it’s this thing right ‘ere…”

[Cody brings a hand up to tap a finger on the X-Division title.]

Cody: “So yeah, ya could say I were a bit bloody surprised that we actually worked as a team out there last Saturday, ‘cause I were expectin’ at least ONE of ‘em to try an’ have a pop at me after everythin’ were all said an’ done… only that dint happen. Obviously, am not countin’ this goddess among mere mortals that stands next to me, I never had to worry about HER gunnin’ for me out there ‘cause we’re the golden couple of this dank arse company, but the rest of ‘em? Wouldn’t trust ‘em as far as I could bloody throw ‘em, an’ with the size of the Drake bloke, that’s probably not that far at all… but tonight, they get their crack at takin’ this thing away from me, an’ as far as I’m concerned they’re welcome to try, but this belt goes up wi’ the two of us tonight an’ that’s not just an opinion, it’s statin’ a bloody fact, you hear me?”

[Cody isn’t messing around with his statement; he glares at Janice with intensity and she nods her head before turning to Christy.]

Janice: “And that must be quite a complex feeling for YOU Christy; how does it feel knowing that you may dethrone your own fiancé in this match if things go a certain way for you out there?”

[Christy looks down her nose at Janice a little, as if she’s already irritated by the interview, but she still responds despite her clear lack of interest.]

Christy: “You seem to be labouring under the illusion that it matters which one of us holds this belt coming out of tonight, Janice… I imagine it’s difficult to understand those in the upper echelons when you’re slugging it out with the rest of the schlubs in the irrelevance category but we are the faces of this company, us and Chantelle Chambers, we are simply on another level and whether the belt comes home with Cody tonight or me, it won’t mean a damn thing because all eyes with STILL be on us… and if you don’t understand that notion then I’m sorry Janice but there really is no hope for you!”

[Janice King looks a little offended as she brings the microphone back to her own mouth for her next question, a huge smirk spread across the face of Cody as she starts to ask it.]

Janice: “So there’ll be no hard feelings if Christy IS the one who walks out victorious tonight then C--”

[Out of the blue, Cody cuts her off and snatches the microphone from Janice, shaking his head in annoyance as he begins to respond.]

Cody: “You weren’t listenin’, were you love? See, that’s what pisses me off about this place, you uppity twats run around askin’ your questions an’ try to push an agenda, but it’s this bloody simple: if Christy walks out as champion tonight, then we’ll go back to the hotel an’ I’ll make sure the party is rockin’ as we celebrate… but when that bell rings am goin’ out there to make sure that I don’t lose an’ if Christy gets the chance to help me win then she’ll do it, just like I’ll help HER win if the opportunity presents it’s self!”

[Christy nods in agreement as Cody continues.]

Cody: “So don’t bother tryin’ to drive a wedge between us sweetheart ‘cause that ain’t gonna happen, even if you think it makes good journalism…”

[Cody tosses the microphone back to Janice and it looks like Cody and Christy are about to walk away but the interviewer manages to throw in her last question before they can leave.]

Janice: “Last question; rumours have been circulating as of late that you do plan to cash in your X-Division championship run for a shot at the World title… we know Isabella Harker challenges Victoria Salinas on night three of Resurrection from Madison Square Garden; can we expect to see you using option-C to face the winner of that match in the near future?”

[Cody looks at Janice for a moment, a second or two too long for comfort actually, before he leans into the microphone and decides to answer her question.]

Cody: “Ya know love, originally the plan were for me to win this thing ONLY to cash in with option-c, an easy ride to the world title an’ back to the level of this company that I deserve to be at… but ya know love, I started to realise that maybe I had another job to do first. See, this belt that I’ve got draped across my perfectly sculpted shoulder… it’s tainted. That orange haired crack monkey Isabella Harker didn’t do FUCK ALL for this title, other than drag it through the mud with her lacklustre reign as champ an’ when I won it, I weren’t plannin’ on hangin’ on to it for long ‘cause it’s obvious that Cody Lindberg-Knight deserves to be in the main event spot rather than anythin’ else… but then I started to realise that I can probably kill two birds wi’ one stone an’ that there’s no reason for me to rush into anythin’ either. So al make this nice an’ clear for you toots, ‘cause I know you’re a little slow… there’s no cashin’ in from me tonight, no cashin’ in on Sunday, or the first shotgun, or this summer. This belt is stayin’ wi’ me ‘cause I’ve got a job to do wi’ THIS one first. An’ when I’ve made people forget all about Isabella Harker’s crappy fuckin’ reign as champ an’ made people think about MY reign as the greatest in the history of the company… THEN I’ll make my intentions known in the world title picture. So while I’m gonna be watchin’ that match on Sunday pretty fuckin’ closely… for now, the only thing important is that Global-X match an’ makin’ sure that come the end of it, it’ll be All Eyes On Us… now fuck off an’ annoy some other poor twat, eh?”

[And with that, he throws an arm around Christy’s shoulder and the pair walk away, the camera watching them leave before panning back to frame Janice in the centre of the shot again.]

Janice: “Well, there we have it folks. Cody Lindberg-Knight and Christy Hightower, competing in just a few minutes time in that Global X match…”

[Janice smiles to camera and the scene quickly fades.]

The camera cuts to a video shot earlier in the day.

The Truth sits on a chair with the camera close up on him, dressed in a black leather jacket with a black T-shirt he looks blankly into the camera.

Truth: Over the last few months it has become transparently clear that the entity known as GCW or 'Global Championship Wrestling' has been acting in a very unscrupulous manner. I have tried to expose the shocking details about this cult however have been met with opposition at every turn.

Which is why, as of today I am appointing an Investigating Director to look into the internal, and external affairs of GCW and ascertain any connection they have to evil cults, The Rothschild family as well as their higher ups being suspected of dealing with, or being lizard people.

It is also thought that this company will have a part to play in the biblical end times and they have already started the process of saving themselves in an end of world situation. I believe there is no evil GCW, its owners, staff and wrestlers will go to, to protect this conspiracy. And they have left me no choice but to appoint the worlds leading authority in cult activity, Mr David Hawkins. Mr Hawkins, thank you for accepting this offer.

The camera cuts to 'David Hawkins, a man in a gray suit with a purple shirt and tie, this man is obviously 'The Truth' using his alleged real name.

Hawkins: Mr Truth, I thank you for your offer to appoint me director of this investigation. I take all matters seriously and have already started contacting members of GCW, past and present to conduct my investigation.

While right now I am unable to comment on the specifics of this investigation, I can assure you that this will leave no stone unturned. I will get to the bottom of this. And may I take this opportunity to wish you well for your match tonight, against Gabby Austin and Jessica Jones.

The camera once again turns to The Truth.

Truth: Mr Hawkins, I once again thank you for taking up this position, and wish you all the best in getting to the bottom of this companies evil deeds. And thank you for your kind wishes, tonight I will be taking the first shot in this long battle by taking the GCW International Championship. And maybe bringing us one step closer to cracking open this International conspiracy by taking home one of their prized satanic artifacts.

The camera cuts back to ringside

Jim Bishop : Can you believe that? This crackpot has hired a investigator! Himself!!

Jack Griffith: I know, isn't it great!!

Global X Match for X Division Championship
Cody Lindberg-Knight (champion), Christy Hightower, Joey Michaels, Hayley Gold, Alice, Drake Crowe, Eliza Crowe, Slade Merriman, Helena Merriman, Kendra Classic

[Slade and Helena immediately target Eliza and Drake. Hayley goes after Cody and Christy goes after Alice. Joey Michaels pairs off against Kendra Classic. This match features a ton of high risk action throughout, starting with Kendra being the first to attempt to go for the belt but Joey dropping her with a Joey Effect off the top of the tables to the mat below. A ladder is introduced and Eliza and Helena are fighting at the top of it. Ever the opportunist, Cody shoves Hayley into the ladder, causing it to tip over and sending both Helena and Eliza crashing into the Spanish announce table. Drake turns his attention away from Slade and spears Cody. Christy goes up after the belt but Alice is right behind her…Alice with a German off the cables to the mat below! Slade tries crawling across the top of the cable as does Joey Michaels from the other side. Joey with a cutter off the top onto Slade. Kendra immediately pulls Joey up and drops Joey with the ClassiCrash. Eliza back in and introduces thumb tacks to the match. She bulldogs Slade into the thumb tacks! Helena comes up and spears Eliza into the tacks! Drake then drills Helena with a big boot to the face. Alice is on the cables and near the title. Drake takes her and power bombs her on the tacks! Cody with International Treasure on Drake! Joey is standing in the center of the tables. He leaps off the top with a cross body onto Cody! Christy with a low blow to Joey and then Follow The North Star. Christy is speared through the ropes by Slade through a table that was set up on the outside earlier! Near the end of the match it’s Kendra and Cody on opposite ends and Joey Michaels and Alice on opposite ends. These meet in the center as they go for the belt. Kendra with a face buster onto Hayley that sends both off the top and sends both crashing into the thumb tacks below. Cody kicks Joey below the belt sending Joey crashing to the mat below. Cody is the only one left as he easily takes hold of his championship.]
WINNER and STILL GCW X-Division Champion: Cody Lindberg-Knight

(We cut to the backstage area. Matthew Taylor is seemingly in a hurry as he runs rather quickly with cameras trying desperately to keep up. It becomes quickly apparent why he is rushing…

Matthew: My God…

(He stops as he finds a bloodied and battered Matt Alan, the manager of Lester Sampson, hanging from his feet from the ceiling. Several officials are already on the scene. Matthew Taylor turns to one of them.)

Matthew: Who the hell did this?!

Official: We got here too late. She was already finished with him and exiting the scene when we arrived.

Matthew: I don’t care! Who did this?!

Official: Arcadia Chavez.

(He sighs and shakes his head.)

Matthew: Geez, this is not what we need, not now and not at Resurrection.

Official: What do you want me to do about her, sir?

Matthew: I can’t do anything right now because her match is up next. Besides, I need to speak with my sister first. She’s the General Manager, not me.

(With that, Matthew Taylor walks off.)

[Resurrection fades backstage where Chelsea Summers is walking in the hallway with a bit of a confused, dazed look in her eyes. She doesn’t seem like her usual chirpy self when Andrea Hernandez happens to run into her, holding a bag in her hands.]

Andrea: Chelsea???

Chelsea: Andrea…

Andrea: We need to talk.

Chelsea: Sure. I don’t mind talking.

[Chelsea folds her arms, looking at Andrea’s wrist, spotting a silver bracelet.]

Chelsea: Nice bracelet. Did Myra get that for you too?

Andrea: Yeah… but again, this is about you. You need to realize what Adrian is doing to you. He’s got you hypnotized and I have proof that he’s doing this to you.

Chelsea: Andrea, you need to stop watching ridiculously stupid movies, okay? Studies have shown that watching such junk actually damages the intellectual part of your brain.

[Andrea is taken aback by this sudden display of intelligence, but not for long as she realizes that Chelsea is currently under hypnosis.]

Andrea: You’re under the spell right now!

Chelsea: You need to stop talking nonsense!

Andrea: It’s NOT nonsense, Chelsea! It’s real! You want proof? I got proof right here!

[Andrea pulls something out of a bag and tosses the bag away. The object is revealed to be a book. She shows the cover of the book to both the camera and Chelsea.]

Andrea: SEE? Legitimate doctors have written books about this stuff. It’s even right there in the title: “Effective Techniques to Hypnotize The Mind: How To Withdraw Repressed Memories and Emotions”.

Chelsea: Oh… can I see that?

Andrea: Sure.

[Andrea hands the paperback book to Chelsea who casually flips through the pages, obviously retaining the dazed look in her eyes from the hypnosis that she’s suffering at the moment. Andrea stands by, hoping for the best, but she finds herself heartbroken when Chelsea rips quite a few pages out of the book before tearing the book itself in half and tossing it in a nearby trash can.]

Chelsea: What the hell is that Scientology crap?

Andrea: Chelsea…

Chelsea: That’s got to be the most garbage work of fiction I’ve ever seen. Anyone can come up with some cult nonsense like that. I mean, that IS how Scientology was invented right? I don’t know who you are trying to convince that I’m hypnotized: me, or yourself.

Andrea: What?

Chelsea: Let’s call it how it is. You’ve been jealous of me from day one because I am Myra’s favorite and she only took you on as a favor to me. You OWE me! You should be on your hands and knees groveling at my feet, thanking me for the fact that your GCW career even exists. So, you’re trying to convince yourself that there’s something wrong with me, so you could feel better about five generations of a miserable existence.

[Andrea stands there, completely frozen.]

Chelsea: Now, you can leave me alone and on Sunday, we can win our match and you can be the good little bitch you’ve always been and follow OUR lead! Okay? Are we clear? Good!

[Chelsea walks away from Andrea who is still stunned by what just happened. Her inability to save her best friend gets to her as she sits down against a wall and hides her face. It’s obvious that she’s broken down in tears at this point as the hypnosis situation grows even more hopeless. However, nearby, Adrian Waters is seen spying from behind a crate, smirking and chuckling to himself.]

Adrian: Pure… genius… heh heh heh…

[Adrian continues to laugh at a crying Andrea from a distance as the scene fades.]

[We cut backstage to find Hannah Kristiansen and Izumi Sato entering an empty locker room. Both are dressed casually, Hannah sporting a fitted black Oath Keepers baseball cap, short-sleeved black Five Finger Death Punch "Jekyll and Hyde" t-shirt, tight-fitting blue denim jeans, a studded black leather belt, and steel-toed black combat boots on her feet. A pair of dog tags hang from a chain around her neck. Izumi, meanwhile, is dressed simply in her short-sleeved white "Dragon Sato" t-shirt, hot pink sweat pants with white stripes, and white Reeboks on her feet.]

Izumi: Tell me again, whose locker room is this?

[Hannah waves her hand dismissively.]

Hannah: Pfft, Hell if I know. The nameplate on the door said "Reserved."

[Shrugging her shoulders, a cheeky smirk quirks its way up the right side of her lips.]

Hannah: Guess that means us.

[This is no ordinary locker room, that much is for sure. The room is quite cozy, in fact; complete with leather sofa and 72" flat screen. Hannah steps over to a fridge and pulls out a handful of water bottles, handing one to Izumi.]

Hannah: Put your feet up. We're gonna' be here all weekend.

[Taking a seat on the sofa, she grabs up a remote and fires up the TV and props her feet up on the chaise. Izumi takes a seat next to her, opens her water bottle and takes a gulp.]

Hannah: I don't know about you, but I can't wait to get going here. These people aren't gonna' know what hit 'em.

[Izumi nods in response.]

Izumi: Hai, it's good to be back. Though, in truth, I should've never left in the first place.

[Hannah glances over to her friend before returning her gaze to the screen, watching the events of Resurrection VI unfold before them.]

Hannah: Don't beat yourself up over it, Izumi. Everybody makes mistakes. I've sure as Hell made my fair share. Just means you're human. The important thing is that you learn from it and don't make the same one twice.

[Izumi ponders what Hannah has said, before nodding her head in agreement before sighing aloud.]

Izumi: Hai, you're right. Still, I want to do everything in my power to make up for it.

Hannah: And I'll be cheering you on the whole way, even if we're on different brands.

[That brings a smile to Izumi's lips, as she starts quoting lines from a song.]

Izumi: You and me, we're gonna' be alright...

[And Hannah picks up the other half of the line, bobbing her head as if to an unheard tune.]

Hannah: We're gonna' shake this crowd, we're gonna' touch the sky.

Izumi: Fire Spirits forever!

Hannah: Damn right, Fire Spirits forever!

[The two women tap their water bottles together before each takes a gulp.]

Hannah: Even if we're on separate shows.

[Both smiling, they fall silent for a moment before Izumi chimes in again.]

Izumi: So why do you scout these matches anyway? I mean it's not like you change up your tactics that much.

Hannah: Easy; because should my opponents ever figure out that tactic, and how to combat it, I like to have Plan B and C in my back pocket just in case.

[The two friends continue to chat as we cut away.]

Lester Sampson vs. Arcadia Chavez
[Lester Sampson immediately goes for a lariat clothesline but Arcadia ducks and then clocks him with Scythe. Another Scythe and he drops to his knees. Arcadia hits the ropes and then drops him with The Death Blow. Arcadia quickly latches on with Samael Song. It isn’t long until Lester passes out.
WINNER: Arcadia Chavez

(Backstage we spot a female masked figure. The mask identifies this as Skuld, also known as Sierra Michaels.)

Skuld: Tonight, in just a few moments, I team up with Jefferson Bentley, a man who once bore the Nero mantle, to face off against my former master Pierce Manning and Melanie McBride. But things will be different, because things have come full circle. It won’t be Skuld, going out there…

(She takes off the mask.)

Sierra: …it’ll just be me, Sierra Michaels, because it is time that I put this nightmare to rest. It has been quite a long time now, Melanie. We both fell victim to the same monster, to the same trap. I had my contract sold to Pierce Manning and you lost your contract to him in a match with me.

(She smiles.)

Sierra: And we both fell in love with his charm. Only I eventually saw through the façade and you, you bought into it, you still buy into it, and now supposedly you are his greatest creation?

(She shakes her head.)

Sierra: No, you are his greatest failure because he destroyed all that was good about you, Melanie. I was in his Nirvana and I survived. But you? You’re dead. Tonight, I bury you.

(She walks off.)

Robert E. Lee: Ladies and Gentlemen, I have just been handed a statement from the GCW management in regards to the 'investigation' that The Truth will be bringing against GCW. Allow me to read this.

'To all members of the GCW roster, and our loyal fans. As you may be aware, today The Truth has appointed a 'investigation director' to look into the activities of GCW. While GCW has nothing to hide, nor fear from this investigation, the GCW will not be helping this 'investigator' with his inquiries. And as of this moment, the ' alter ego persona' of The Truth, David Hawkins will not be permitted into a GCW arena, hotel or any event held by this company. Only The Truth will be permitted.

It is quite clear to us and the world that this is another scheme by the wrestler known as The Truth, real name David Hawkins to further his anti GCW agenda. We are effectively killing this investigation as it will be a waste of TV time and GCW money and resources to let David 'The Truth' Hawkins to continue this charade.

Thank you.

Jack Griffith: What the hell is this? Did GCW just fire the investigating director of a national inquiry? this is an outrage! I demand an investigation! How dare they say that David Hawkins and The Truth are the same person! They look nothing alike!

Jim Bishop: Give it a rest!

The song "Adrenalize" by In This Moment starts to play in the Barkley Center. Then, a spotlight appears on the stage, and Pete Floyd is standing there. The fans pop as Hannah Myers steps out on to the stage beside Floyd. She kisses him on the cheek then starts to walk slowly to the music down the aisle towards the ring. Once she is in the ring, her music fades. Hannah smiles and waves at fans as Floyd retrieves a microphone.

Pete: "Resurrection...the biggest event of the year in GCW. Three nights featuring many of the best wrestlers in the World. Global Championship Wrestling puts on the best events, in my opinion...usually. This year, there was a very unfortunate oversight though."

Hannah nods her agreement with Pete and pouts sweetly.

Pete: "Look, I've been the top guy of several wrestling promotions over the years. I understand that cards for events like this are finalized weeks in advance. There is a lot of behind the scenes stuff that needs to be considered...marketing and all that. Yes, Hannah had a losing streak going for her, but, under my guidance, she is turning that around. I can't say that we're both not somewhat disappointed that she was not booked somewhere on either night."

The Brooklyn crowd starts a chant of "Hannah! Hannah!"

Pete: "I'm not one to dwell on the negative, however. Instead, I came up with a plan. An open challenge is far from a unique or revolutionary idea, but putting one forth does still say a lot about the wrestler initiating it...and in this case, I am so confident in my client that I am putting my own reputation on the line tonight. Here it is...anyone looking to make an impact on one of the largest stages in professional wrestling? Here's your chance!"

The fans cheer and everyone waits.

A minute passes, and no one.

Pete: "Nobody? I find that hard..."

Pete is interrupted when the lights go out. There is suddenly the sound of metal hitting flesh...twice! The lights are quickly restored, and we see Anastasia Jones standing near the center of the ring, a steel chair in hand. Pete Floyd is hurt on the canvas, as is Hannah. Unlike her manager, however, Hannah starts to rise to her feet. Anastasia prepares to strike at Myers with the chair again, but Hannah kicks her wrist, causing her to drop the chair! Hannah follows this with a roundhouse kick to Anastasia's face, knocking Jones to the canvas!

Satisfied that she took care of Jones, Hannah helps Floyd to his feet. He climbs down out of the ring, and as Hannah goes to join him, Jones strikes again...slamming the chair hard into Hannah, knocking her to the floor! Jones drops to the floor and throws Hannah into the steel steps before shoving Pete to the ground. She body slams Hannah on the concrete floor, then deposits Hannah into the ring. Anastasia grabs a mic and gets back in the ring.

Anastasia: "Get a referee down here! This slut wants a match? Here's her fucking match!"

A referee does enter the ring and calls for the bell. With the crowd jeering and throwing trash at her, Jones performs a double foot stomp to the back of Hannah, turns her over and does the same to her stomach, then makes a cover. One...two...NO!!! Hannah gets a shoulder up!!! On the outside of the ring, Floyd is back to his feet and he is urging Hannah on. The audience has also come to life, although Anastasia, obviously is not very happy. She spends the next several minutes working over Hannah's back with stretches and other holds to try to make her tap...but Hannah refuses.

Frustrated, Anastasia begins to choke Myers, and is admonished by the referee. She shrugs this off and goes for the "Red Scare" but Myers is able to squirm free and head butt Jones, staggering both of them. Jones clears the cobwebs first and Irish whips Hannah into the corner, hoping to further injure her back. However, when Jones tries to follow up with a corner splash, Hannah rushes out with "Lights Out!" She does seem to knock Anastasia out with the move out of nowhere, but Hannah is too hurt to make a cover. The ref starts a double countout, but both women are up by 7. Jones grabs Myers by the hair and sets her up for a verticle suplex, but Hannah counters with her own suplex! This time Hannah does make a cover, but Jones kicks out. Hannah remains in control for the next several minutes and gets a couple of near falls. In the end, Anastasia did turn the tide again, but it was short lived when Hannah came out of nowhere with a springboard bulldog. She then went big, coming off the turnbuckles with "Falling Angel" (Flying spinning heel kick from the top turnbuckle)! She made the cover on Jones...one...two...three!!!

Winner: Hannah Myers

After having her hand raised in victory, Hannah jumped to the floor to check on Pete, who was fine. He raised her arm a second time, getting another pop from the crowd. The two then left to the back as the scene fades.

Backstage, Hall-of-fame reporter Janice King stands next to Timothy Myers, who is in his wrestling tights, a leather jacket, and shades. The GCW Global title belt is over his left shoulder.

Janice: "Our main event in Night 1 of Resurrection tonight is one with a lot of hostility behind it. Aphrodite Noel will be facing this man to my left, "The Rebel" Timothy Myers, with his Global Championship on the line."

Timothy: "You know Jan, quite a lot can happen in a year. Last year, in St. Louis, I defended my first GCW title, the International Championship successfully. Now, a little over a year later, I am main eventing Night 1 of Resurrection with my second Global title. I've had some very great highs and some very rough lows, both personally and professionally, as well. It was Night 3 of Resurrection last year that my father had a heart attack...but he is back to doing everything he was doing previously. Professionally, the lowest point of the past year was Survival of the Fittest, when I lost the Global Championship to Myra Lynwood...with the help of my opponent tonight."

Tim looks squarely into the camera now as he almost growls out his next words.

Timothy: "Aphrodite, you are responsible for the worst pain, physically and mentally, that I had suffered in this past six months. The time for talking is done. There's no sense rehashing shit now. Tonight, in front of this great Brooklyn crowd and all across North America, I will get my revenge. Tonight, I will not only leave this arena still Global Champion...I will leave knowing that, just like I did with a long line of others before you, I had the last laugh. I got my pound of flesh. I have nothing more to say to you...you will know exactly how I feel when we lock up tonight. You made this personal. Tonight, I finish it."

Chantelle: “Resurrection… where it all began for me.”

The scene comes on backstage where Chantelle Chambers, the Beverly Hills Bombshell, The Knockout… basically the biggest female superstar in GCW’s history if you take her word for it… sits in a darkened room, a spotlight shining on her – just the way she likes it – as she reminisces.

Chantelle: “It was here one year ago that GCW was given it’s greatest gift. First, I did what no one thought was possible when I reclaimed my X-Division Championship. See, the people had been drinking that Cailey Carter Kool-aid and were ready to write me off. They thought I would disappear… that losing the X-title would be enough for me to burn out of this company and fade away into obscurity as so many have… ironically, it wasn’t long after Resurrection that Cailey did exactly that, and GCW has been better for it. But it was what happened later… when I used that X-Division Championship as my key to break down the door and become GCW World Champion… THAT was a moment that will forever live in the history of this event.”

Chantelle smirks, remembering the moment she attacked then-Champion Amelia Robson well.

Chantelle: “See, it was just meant to be. Amelia Robson was no Chantelle Chambers. She was never going to be Champion as long as I had MY eyes on the prize, and when I turned my eyes towards her, it was basically the end of her reign right there. Sure… she had the feel-good moment of 2015, winning the belt in front of her hometown fans, but feel-good moments don’t do the business that I do! I was destined to become Champion… and that’s what I did! And for six months after my reign officially began, I stood as the measuring stick on Shotgun… it’s top star… the block around which the entire show was built!”

Her smirk starts to fade.

Chantelle: “And yet, you’ll hear to this day people talk about themselves as though they were the ones responsible. But let’s make one thing perfectly clear: There wasn’t a single person tuning into Shotgun to see what Tiffany Manning had to say. There wasn’t a single person buying tickets to come to the shows to see the next chapter in the Isabella Harker soap opera. But there was always people eying me… “All Eyes On Me” was more than a catchphrase… someone call Mrs. Garrett because it was one of the FACTS OF LIFE!”

She chuckles… Chantelle is proud of that line for some reason.

Chantelle: “Ratings? ME! Ticket sales? ME! Buyrates? ME! People flocked to Shotgun to see ME! Even when the Championship was ripped from me in favour of Julia Braddock… who NEVER measured up to me… the eyes remained fixed on me! That’s star power! That’s simply undeniable! Even as I walk into Resurrection this year, a year removed from my rise to the very top of GCW, I find myself targeted by someone who has made it clear that she wants my spot.”

This time, Chantelle’s chuckles give way to full out laughter.

Chantelle: “Can you believe that? Queen Mamba thinks that SHE is going to take MY spot! This is exactly what I’m talking about though… I rose to the top of this company. I am still among the most sought after talent in the world. I am still the most downloaded superstar on the GCW roster. And for Queen Mamba to think she can just walk up and take MY spot? She wouldn’t know what to do if she ever got there. But don’t worry… I’m going to make this easy…”

Chantelle sits up straighter and faces the camera, as though she was addressing Queen Mamba directly.

Chantelle: “I’m going to win tonight. I’m going to beat you, Mamba, so thoroughly that the mere thought of you taking MY spot is going to be downright laughable to anyone with a sense of the business. And then, like I’ve been saying since the beginning, I’m going to move on past you. I’m going to leave you behind in the rear view mirror and go on to bigger and better things. I’m going to ascend back to the top of GCW. At the end of the day, you, Mamba, are a footnote in MY legacy… the answer to a trivia question. My career continues it’s rise tonight. Yours… whatever. Not like I give a crap what happens to you after tonight anyway. In the end, I’m winning, and there’s nothing you can do about it… Bitch!”

She winks to the camera, which fades out…

Jefferson Bentley and Skuld vs. Pierce Manning and Melanie McBride
[Sierra and Melanie start out brawling. The fight spills out to the outside where Sierra connects with some high risk offense, flying over the top with a corkscrew suicide dive. Sierra tags out to Jefferson who uses a power based offense to further weaken and wear down Melanie. Jefferson tags back in to Sierra. Sierra goes for the Simply Amazing Shooting Star Cross Body but Melanie ducks out of the way and Sierra hits nothing but canvas. Melanie connects with Evolution but she cannot capitalize and instead tags out to Pierce. Pierce continues the assault on Sierra with power moves and submission holds. Pierce and Melanie then isolate Sierra in their corner, making quick tags in and out. A mistake from Pierce allows her to connect with a head scissors takedown and then an enziguri. Sierra tags out to Jefferson! Jefferson drills Pierce with a clothesline, and another clothesline, a big boot, and then a spear! Melanie comes in to save him but gets a spine buster for her efforts! Jefferson choke slams Pierce and is about to cover but Melanie gets a low blow in behind the referee’s back before dropping Bentley with Evolution! Jefferson and Pierce make their respective tags and the ladies are back in, brawling! Pierce takes Jefferson to the outside where he whips him into the steel steps. Pierce goes for a spear but Jefferson moves and Pierce slams into the steel ring post! Jefferson with a power slam on the outside! Jefferson choke slams Pierce through the American announce table! Sierra goes for the Simply Amazing Shooting Star Cross Body and connects but Melanie rolls through and hooks the tights for extra leverage…1….2…3Kickout! Melanie goes for Evolution and connects! A cover…1…2…3NOOOO! Sierra kicks out!]

[Melanie is stunned that Evolution didn’t put Sierra away. She backs up slowly but finds Jefferson Bentley standing there behind her. Sierra slowly gets up and Melanie finds herself trapped between Sierra and Bentley. Lucky for her that doesn’t last too long as Pierce crawls back into the ring. He gets by Melanie’s side and there is a stand-off. The crowd roars with anticipation. But then the unexpected happens…Jefferson and Pierce shake hands, followed by an embrace from Melanie and Sierra! Sierra then breaks the embrace and kneels before Jefferson and Pierce. The referee demands to know what is happening but he receives a double chokeslam from Pierce and Jefferson for his trouble.]
WINNER: No Contest

[Melanie takes a microphone from Robert E. Lee…]

Melanie: Ladies and gentlemen…

[She motions to Sierra.]

Melanie: …behold The Evolution of Sierra Michaels!

[Sierra stands up again and again embraces Melanie.]

Melanie: You have arrived. Evolution has run its course.

[The four make their exit.]

[A camera pans open backstage inside Queen Mamba's locker room. The crowd cheers as Mamba is seen sitting down, in her ring gear, pacing in her chair. Her eyes are solid and impenetrable. She looks to her left side and grabs a roll of black tape before she starts to wrap up her right fist. As she tapes up her fist, all of a sudden, she lets out a loud primal scream that echos throughout the room. Samuel Price can be seen in the background, looking a bit intimidated.]

Price: "Uh...Mamba...

[Mamba doesn't look at Price directly, instead keeping her eyes straight ahead.]

Price: Tonight is your first Resurrection. What are your thoughts going into your match with Chantelle Chambers, someone you've had an issue with for months.

[Mamba continues to look straight ahead.]

Mamba: "I didn't...when I mapped out my life. Whenever I thought about what I wanted, this wasn't what I expected. This isn't what I thought it would turn out. Wrestling. Wrestling on one of the biggest shows in wrestling. And all week I've had to put on all this nice clothing and get my air all made up to have people shove microphones in my face and ask me about my life and how I feel. And...for a lot of people, that's what they've always wanted. But for me...

[Mamba pauses.]

Mamba: "I've always had this mentality that I just have to make it one day at a time because thinking about the future is complicated and a lot of times, stupid. When my parents were telling me day by day that me and my sister were a mistake, I always thought 'maybe I am.' But I got to make it another day. So a part of me still feels like that little girl who would go home and sit in her room and watch her parents get drunk and forget I was even in the same house need help up the stairs. I still feel like that girl who's pissed that my sister and myself never had actual parents.

[Mamba pauses again.]

Mamba: "All this press and all these people telling me I can be this or that and everything, that's cool. But it's hard for me to enjoy it. It's hard for me because I feel like I'm still fighting. I've always fought. People at school who tried to punk me out. At home. Even now. I'm a fighter. Might be why some people think I come off harsh and even cold. I don't mean to but that's how I came up. My sister...she thinks of me as this...this superhero. I heard her bragging about it with her friends that I'm out in Japan beating people up for a living and I'm just like...what are you doing? I'm still that same girl that....

[Mamba continues to tape up her fist.]

Mamba: I can't enjoy it. I'm still fighting. Chantelle Chambers is one of those people who thinks they can punk me out, make me feel so small compared to her. She lives off making people feel small. That's the only way she gets happiness.

[Mamba stares at the camera now.]

Mamba: "She's the longest Global Champion ever. I get it. But she's been ducking me for months. She's been trying to punk me. She's trying to put me down. She thinks I'm the gum on her shoe. She made this personal. I called her out because she was bitching and moaning about not having everything go her way. She then bitched when I eliminated her at Civil War. She's hit me with brass knuckles, she's attacked me like a coward before title matches. And I have to go home and I have to talk to her about what happened. Her sister. This superhero that she hypes me to be for some reason. Getting her ass kicked and attacked by a stuck up bitch, the type she deals with in high school.

[Mamba slowly runs a hand through her hair.]

Mamba: The only thing I tell her is that I'm not a superhero. I'm not this Goddess or Wonder Woman. I'm Nadia Allen...I'm a fighter. I called myself Queen for a reason. not because I want to dress up and be pampered like you Chantelle. It's because it's something within myself that I feel I can be. You've never had it hard like I have. You walk around this locker room without a care in the world and all I want to do is take that spot that you take for granted. I want to be where you're at. Chantelle, you're afraid of me. You are. Because I'm coming for you. Because you know the shit I've gone through, the shit I've seen, the shit I've been told and you know that I still made it out of that and I've beaten you and that I'm the girl that you're going to be staring across the ring from on the biggest show of the GCW year. Think of all the shit you've tried to put me down and every single time I've beaten you. So you know what? My sister is right. These people are right. I'm not that little girl from San Fran anymore. I'm "Queen Mamba" Nadia Allen, GCW wrestler and the girl that's going to rip your fucking head off.

[Mamba glares at the camera.]

Mamba: This is for my sister, this is for whoever thinks of me as this sign of strength or whatever, but Chantelle, this is for me. This ends tonight and this ends with you looking up to me, knowing that once and for all, you couldn't stop me from taking the spot you've had for too long. And just like you've tried to ruin my chances of earning that spot, I'm going to take it from you and I'm going to leave you with nothing. And I want you to know, I'm going to enjoy it.

[Mamba stands up and storms off. Price looks on.]

Backstage we see The Truth, just minutes from his match for the International Championship he seems to be in a horrible mood. Janice King approaches him for an interview.

Janice King: Truth, you are just minutes away from your International Championship match against against Gabby Austin and Jessica Jones. How confident are you?

Truth: Tonight Gabby Austin and Jessica Jones will feel the full force of The Truth. For too long I have been plaing games. That has ended. The GCW dare to fire my investigator? That is fine! Because the trail will still go ahead! And since they have fired the good David Hawkins, it will soon be time for GCW met its 'prosecutor'

King: 'prosecutor'? What do you mean by that?

Truth: Turn around, Janice.

Janice turns around and her mood changes instantly, she looks half afraid, as if she has seen a ghost from the past. We do not see the person however, just the back of a man, wearing a long leather jacket and spiked hair.

Janice: Oh my god........

Cut to black.

(We cut backstage where we find Samuel Price standing by with Allison Lorraine.)

Price: I am here now with my guest at this time, Allison Lorraine, and Allison, what kind of thoughts are going through your head as you approach your Last Woman Standing Match here tonight against your former best friend Laurel Anne Hardy?

(Allison laughs.)

Allison: What I learned from Ginger Nation is that there no such things as true friends. Allies, maybe, but no friends, no one you can actually trust. I had to learn that lesson the hard way after years of betrayal at the hands of people whom I did trust.

(She shakes her head.)

Allison: That’s why I said NO MORE! I would no longer allow anyone to betray me. The Allison Lorraine that Laurel knew, the trusting one, is dead. Tonight she’s dealing with me, #GingerAllison.

Price: So there’s no chance you will bring back the old Allison for this match, as you hinted at earlier last week?

(She rolls her eyes.)

Allison: Keep dreaming, Sam. #GingerAllison and the entire Ginger Nation are here to stay.

(Lorraine walks away.)

[Brittany Kayl is walking down the hallway as Night One of Resurrection rolls on. She’s got a microphone in her hand and a cameraman following her. She’s definitely got some confidence as she begins to speak to the audience.]

Brittany: Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Enjoying night one so far? Obviously, we have much more to come, not just tonight, but throughout this whole weekend. Now, I’m back here looking for ANYONE to interview! So far, I haven’t had much luck. Wait a second, what do we have here?

[Brittany signals for the cameraman to follow her as they go a little farther down the hallway. They end up spotting Andrea Hernandez who is still sitting against the wall broken down in tears from earlier in the night.]

Brittany: Excuse me?

[Andrea looks up at Brittany and quickly dries her eyes.]

Brittany: Andrea?!?!?! Hey, I’m looking for an interview and…

Andrea: I don’t want to talk. My best friend is gone…

[Andrea is able to at least compose herself enough to stand up. She takes a deep breath to calm down and carry on the best way that she can.]

Andrea: Adrian Waters has had her under a spell and no matter how hard I try, it just seems like I can’t get Chelsea to realize that hypnosis is real!

Brittany: No offense Andrea, but I honestly don’t think Chelsea is worth the trouble.

Andrea: OH REALLY!?!?!?! We’ve been best friends since we were nine years old despite everything!!!! Maybe she’s not worth it to you, but she’s very much worth it to ME and I don’t care what people say about her or what kind of person she is. I may be embarrassed by her antics sometimes, but I still love and care about her and nobody’s opinion is ever going to change that, alright?

Brittany: Gosh, I really didn’t mean to strike a nerve.

Andrea: I can’t stay here. I need to go. I’ll see you on Sunday.

[Andrea turns and begins to leave.]

Brittany: Oh come on! Don’t you at least want to see the art gallery that they have set up in catering? GCW is truly trying to inspire New York’s and GCW’s greatest artists!

[Andrea stops walking.]

Andrea: Did you say… art gallery?!?!?!

Brittany: Yeah! You should check it out!

Andrea: Oh you bet your ass I’m going to do that and I want YOU to follow me.

[Andrea begins to bolt down the hallway toward the catering area. Brittany just shrugs and follows along and the cameraman isn’t too far back either. Eventually, they all reach the art gallery that’s decorating the catering area. There’s nobody else besides them around.]

Brittany: Isn’t this an amazing gallery? Who knew that Brooklyn had such fine creative talent! And hey, some of the works that our wrestlers have made are fascinating, aren’t they?

Andrea: Yeah…

[Andrea looks around, seeing that there’s a separate section for GCW talent that contributed to the gallery. There’s one painting in particular that catches her eye.]

Andrea: Especially this one….

[Andrea, with a look of anger in her eyes, walks up toward the painting of Chelsea Summers holding an Emmy award.]

Brittany: OH COME ON! Chelsea Summers winning an Emmy? Like that will ever happen!!! HEY! What the hell are you doing?!?!?!?!

[Brittany reacts with shock as Andrea shoves the canvas to the floor and sending the painting crashing. Part of the canvas breaks and Andrea grabs one of the broken pieces, holding it like a stake. Andrea turns the painting over when she kneels on the floor and starts stabbing hole after hole after hole into the painting, before she cuts crossing diagonal slashes across the entire thing. She then picks up the torn painting and breaks the frame over her knee, tossing the two halves on the ground and shattering the remaining parts of the frame. Brittany is stunned as the painting is torn and broken into pieces.]

Brittany: Okay, first off, thank you for breaking a reality that will NEVER come true…

Andrea: And I broke a spell along with that!

[Andrea kicks the pieces away before she walks off the scene.]

Brittany: OKAY! That was interesting! Back to you guys!

[Brittany and the cameraman walk off, but the scene reveals that Adrian Waters saw the whole thing from the corner of the catering area. However, instead of pissed off, he smirks and laughs once again.]

Adrian: Hook, line and sinker….

[Adrian keeps laughing as the scene fades.]

International Championship
Gabby Austin (champion) vs. Jessica Jones vs. The Truth


[As you would expect, Gabby and Jessica double teamed the Truth at the start of the match, having had enough of his ‘conspiracy theory’ nonsense. The Truth would become an early victim of a double back body drop, a double flapjack and a missile dropkick from Jessica while Gabby had him in a double underhook position. The missile dropkick gave Gabby enough momentum to lift Truth from the mat and nailing him with a double underhook suplex into a bridge pin. However, when the referee got to two, Jessica broke it up and then started pounding away at Gabby as she was looking for revenge from Civil War when Gabby won the championship from her. The one on one encounter between the two was purely technical, as one could guess, but Jessica was the one in control, Gabby not having much of an answer for moves such as a gutwrench suplex and a running lariat. Jessica went for the pin, but Gabby kicked out. Jessica then applied a Boston crab on her, but after a minute or so, the Truth kicked Jessica in the side of the head to break it up. Truth then battled with Jessica, going all out as he was trying to “destroy the conspiracy”. Truth outpowered Jessica, as Jessica had to tolerate taking a spinebuster, a powerslam and a reverse powerbomb! Truth then lifted Jessica up off of the mat, only to bring her down with a sidewalk slam. Truth went for the cover, but Gabby was right there to break it up. Now it was Gabby’s turn to show what she could do and the Truth was virtually outclassed. A suicide plancha from the top rope wasn’t helping matters for the Civil War runner up. A springboard forearm also kept Truth grounded and when he lied flat on the mat, Gabriela went up to the top rope and leaped connecting with as picture perfect of a corkscrew moonsault as you can execute! The move resulted in a pin attempt, but Jessica swooped in to break things up. Jessica and Gabby fought again, then Truth got up and suddenly, Gabby and Truth were double teaming Jessica. Jessica took a double STO, and Gabby went for the cover, but Truth broke it up. Truth fought Gabby, and Jessica recovered and ironically, they were working together against her. Truth lifted Gabby in an electric chair position as Jessica went to the top. Truth brought Gabby forward into a top rope facebuster from Jessica! Truth tried to take advantage and pin Gabby, but Jessica broke it up. Jessica and Truth fought for a bit. OUR LADY PEACE! The bicycle kick drilled Truth with precision! The pin was made, but Truth kicked out! Gabby recovered and fought Jessica again. Top Rope leg Drop Bulldog from the champion to Jessica! Cover but Jessica kicked out. Truth recovered to lift Gabby up from behind, nailing her with a vertebreaker. Truth then locked in the Lie Detector in the center of the ring. The Sharpshooter put the champion in a precarious position. In the center of the ring, Gabby looked spent, but Jessica with a running enziguri broke it up. Hot Shot from Jessica to Truth! Jessica then locked in the Four Card Trick on Gabby who was in tremendous pain in the center of the ring. Gabby tried to desperately get to the bottom rope, but to little avail. Just when it seemed like she was going to tap, Truth leaped from the top rope nailing a cross body on Jessica to break it up. Gabby rolled out of the ring as Jessica and Truth fought once more. Jessica went for Our Lady Peace again, but missed. She turned around… CONSPIRACY THEORY! Truth turned over Jessica and made the cover, but at two… the referee was pulled out of the ring by LORETTA INGLEWOOD! Summer Newman wasn’t far behind as she slid in the ring and jumped the Truth. Loretta got in there and the two double teamed the hell out of Truth. With a joint effort, Loretta and Summer picked up Truth and nailed him with a double powerbomb! Jessica was slowly getting up, and Loretta and Summer went up to help her… AND THEN SUMMER LIFTED UP JESSICA AND NAILED HER WITH THE STOCK MARKET CRASH! The fans were stunned silent by this as Gabby Austin crawled back in the ring. Gabby was appalled by this and helped Jessica up… and then she threw Jessica to Summer and Loretta and they gave her a double vertical suplex! The fans would grow even MORE stunned when Gabby high fived both Loretta and Summer, proving they were all in on it the entire time! Summer left the ring as Loretta got Truth up. Loretta tossed Truth to Gabby who then nailed him with the PURE REALIZATION! Summer threw the referee back in the ring. Loretta locked on the Chastity Belt on Jessica to keep her from breaking up the pin Gabby just made in the ring. The fans grew irate as the referee, oblivious to it all, made the three count!]

WINNER and STILL GCW International Champion: Gabby Austin

[Loretta let go of the hold on Jessica and helped Gabby to her feet and the two hugged as the crowd booed the events that just happened. Summer returned to the ring with the International title and handed it to Gabby and the two proceeded to lift Gabby on their shoulders as she raised the title over her head. The announcers completely condemned this whole thing, remarking that Truth was right about a conspiracy after all, but it wasn’t Jessica that was in with Summer and Loretta, it was Gabby Austin. Gabby was put down back on the mat and the three continued to celebrate the successful ruse that they just pulled off much to the chagrin of the fans, one of whom even tossed a roll of napkin paper into the ring as a protest to what just happened. The broadcast team wondered why the three would do such a thing and what this meant going forward as they continued to mock the fans during their celebration.]

(We cut backstage where we spot Julia Braddock.)

Julia: Six years ago at this very event…hell, at this very city…my sister Glory walked out to that ring and made the announcement that would rock the wrestling foundation to its core. She announced the return of Global Championship Wrestling and that she was its owner. That was at the first Resurrection.

(She smirks.)

Julia: Six years later she’s been challenged by the likes of Alexander Midas and his various armies of thugs, Aphrodite Noel and Camelot, Matt Alan, Mike Michaels, and on and on and on…

(She pats herself on the chest.)

Julia: …but I’m the greatest challenge Glory has ever faced. I know her better than anyone else knows her because I’m family. I know how she operates inside the ring and outside the ring. And you know what else?

(She nods her head.)

Julia: She knows it. She knows I’m her superior and she’s running scared. She is afraid of facing me tonight but tonight there is no more running and no more games. Tonight it’s just me and her and tonight I prove to the entire world that I am The Best in the World and that my sister Glory is a fraud.

(Julia walks away.)

[Myra Lynwood is trying to enjoy her night thus far and obviously as a result of events on Shotgun, she’s not looking to concerned as she nonchalantly sits on a couch that happened to be in the locker room,. She opens up a bottle of wine and pours herself a glass, but not too much.]

Myra: It’s been far too long since I’ve had one of these…

[Myra takes a deep breath, trying to relax but then she’s caught by surprise when she hears the sound of another wine glass being poured. She feels someone sitting down on the other end of the couch and she slowly turns over to look. Her eyes widen in surprise and anger when she sees CLARISSA VEGA sitting there waving at her.]

Myra: What in the HELL are you doing here?!?!?!?!

Clarissa: It’s Resurrection weekend, Myra. Did you honestly think that I would miss it?

Myra: Why WOULD you want to be here?

Clarissa: Seeing as how I WAS a member of Utopia, I figured you guys could use a little flashback to when I was part of the team.

Myra: Listen, we KNOW who’s been leaking information to you now. Don’t try to do anything stupid.

Clarissa: Or else what? You can’t do anything to me. You’ve already fired me from Utopia, but I still have a GCW contract you know. But can I ask you something? Where did this all go wrong with Utopia?

Myra: What the hell are you talking about?

Clarissa: No, I want you to answer me.

Myra: It all went wrong when Andrea started going into business for herself.

Clarissa: No, Myra. This all went wrong at Deadly Dreams.

Myra: ...ARE YOU DRUNK?!?!?! You DO remember what happened that night right? You DO remember that I DESTROYED Jazmyn?

Clarissa: You did beat her Myra, but you didn’t destroy her. And THAT is where it went wrong! You had your chance to eliminate her once and for all and even though she died for like 2 minutes, you didn’t do it. Jazmyn survived everything you ever put her through and don’t tell me that it doesn’t bother you because you and I both know that it does. Jazmyn has, since then, risen from the dead, no pun intended, and become stronger than ever. You could have prevented this if you just got rid of her, but you FAILED to get rid of her. Now? She’s on the other side… and she wants to kill Utopia. All because you failed to get rid of her!

Myra: I… I still don’t understand how… what she’s done since Deadly Dreams… it’s IMPOSSIBLE!

Clarissa: Improbable, yes. Not impossible. But I know why you failed to get rid of her…

Myra: I wasn’t hard enough on her, that’s why.

Clarissa: No! You weren’t. And I know exactly why! It’s your deepest, darkest secret Myra… a secret so dark and so deep that it’s even a secret to you! If you knew what this secret was, you’d be able to get rid of her once and for all. But, since you’re such an amazing wrestler and one of the best your generation has ever seen, I’ll let you figure that out.

Myra: If you know it so much, why don’t you just tell me?

Clarissa: Honestly? Because I’m not going to interfere in what’s “destined” to happen. Utopia only has 48 hours to live. Karma has a way of paying back and Utopia has never paid back for anything it’s ever done. Hell, I’ll even say that it never met its full potential because from day one, it was all about YOU! It was never about changing wrestling tradition, it was never about revolutionizing the business… it was all about revolutionizing YOU! It was all about YOU breaking your five year title drought. It was ALL ABOUT YOU and you’re so FORTUNATE that Adrian Waters is such a moron he goes along with everything you say and do because this could have ended so long ago if it wasn’t for that. I want to know one thing though. When you sent me to Arizona to find those “crown jewels”... when you sent me to find Sedona Sky… were you just using me to further your self-absorbed bullshit?

Myra: I’m NOT having this conversation anymore! You can stick around and play cheerleader to TEAM JAZMYN all you want, but the fact of the matter is, NOBODY has EVER been able to break Utopia and that’s not going to change when Sunday night hits. Now, you’re better off leaving Adrian, Sedona Sky and I alone because if you DON’T, I will see to it that what I did to Tina Valentine is complete child’s play compared to what I would do to you without restraint!

Clarissa: Fine! But Sunday?

[Clarissa stands up, shrugging with confidence.]

Clarissa: It’ll be a pleasure watching Utopia’s funeral.

[Clarissa walks out, wine glass in hand drinking from it as she leaves. Myra throws hers on the floor, shattering the glass and spilling the wine she still had in it. Myra is doing everything she can to maintain her composure as the scene fades out.]

Queen Mamba vs. Chantelle Chambers
[It starts in the ring but the action quickly spills to the outside. Mamba with a suicide diva onto Chambers. Chambers drop toe holds Mamba onto the steps. Chambers with a hurricinrana off the ring apron onto Mamba on the outside. Chantelle rolls her back into the ring and goes for a springboard 450 splash but Mamba moves out of the way. Mamba with a discuss elbow smash followed up by a tornado ddt. Mamba with a missile dropkick and then a single leg crab. Chambers reaches the ropes. Mamba with a moonsault and a cover and a near fall. Mamba goes for Snake Charmer but Chambers moves out of the way and Mamba hits nothing but canvas. Chambers with Worship. She whips her into the turnbuckle. Chambers with Flash. Chambers goes for Nightly Knockout but Mamba catches the foot and drops her with an exploder suplex! Mamba connects with the Snake Charmed but Chambers has the wherewithal to roll out of the ring before Mamba can make the cover. Mamba goes for another suicide dive but The Brod pulls Chantelle out of the way and Mamba hits head first into the steel guard rail. Chantelle rolls Mamba back into the ring. Chambers with The Nightly Knockout. She covers …1…2…3!]
WINNER: Chantelle Chambers

(We cut backstage where we spot Glory Braddock.)

Glory: Six years ago I bought Global Championship Wrestling not out of my own personal fame or glory but because I wanted to try something new and because I believed in the dream of GCW. Being an owner of a wrestling company was a new challenge for me. I was the target in a way that was much bigger, much grander than just being world champion. Julia is right, I did have factions galore targeting me. And for a time I lost my way and I lost my very identity.

(She gazes intensely at the camera.)

Glory: But that’s over and done with. Six years later I’m back in the ring at the top of my game, Glory Braddock has returned to form and that’s what you have to deal with, Julia. You have to deal with me, The British Bombshell…The Best in the World…

(She shakes her head.)

Glory: …you’re not the best, Julia, and you never will be until you’ve beaten the best. Talk all you want but that’s all it is, talk. Until you back up your words with action, then all you’ll ever be is talk. Tonight you put up or I swear to God I will shut you up by making you tap out making you pass out!

(Glory walks away.)

[Resurrection fades to the backstage area where GCW Interviewer Samuel Price is nervously standing by with Karina Lysenko who is smirking as she looks at a clipboard.]

Price: I’m standing here with Karina Lysenko who has certainly been on a blood spree as of late that we haven’t seen in GCW since the likes of Tina Valentine when she had that whole “Scream 5” thing going on during her feud with Victoria Salinas.

Karina: Oh come on! I’m not THAT bad! I’ve been making my mark, and I’ve been marking my territory in the name of Ginger Nation, that’s all!

Price: Right! Speaking of Ginger Nation…

Karina: No no no, we’re not talking about Ginger Nation. We’re talking just about me, okay? So, whatever idiot question you want to ask me, ask it right now.

Price: Sure. I can roll with that. First off, what’s with that clipboard?

Karina: Oh this? Heh…

[Karina turns over the clipboard, showing it to the camera and catching Price by surprise.]

Karina: Just a list of all the mongrels that I’ve made miserable over the last couple of months. I sure have picked up a lot of blood, haven’t I?

Price: I had no idea you were keeping score. Mind giving the camera a little bit of a closer look?

[Karina shrugs and the camera zooms in on the list.]

Price: WOW! That IS a long list, and you have them ALL on there: Sergei Chagev, Dionisia, Madame Santos, Cassidy Haze, Lindsey Carter… and you have two blank marks there…

Karina: Right! All of those names tried to stand up to me and I brought them all down like the dogs that they are and on Sunday night that is going to continue when I take on the biggest bitch of them all and put her down with a dose of lethal injection she has never experienced in her miserable existence. Of course, you know that bitch is Karen McBride… or is it Karen Leonard? It doesn’t matter what her name is! I will get my revenge for her not just abandoning me, but from saving me from my home country only to reduce me to the role of office assistant that nobody cares about before I started my own wrestling career. All she ever showed me was how to be a LOSER! That’s why I used to lose so much! She not only made the mess, but she left it a mess. Well, the only mess being left in that ring is her own blood and tears when I conquer that whore!!!!

Price: You’re truly taking this match with her on Sunday personally. I assume that one of those two unnamed boxes is Karen, right?

Karina: Right.

[Karina flips the clipboard over and pulls out a red pen that was resting on her ear, writing Karen McBride’s name on the bottom box and then showing it to the camera.]

Price: So, what about the unchecked box?

Karina: Follow me… I got something to show you for that unchecked box.

[Karina turns around and walks away, with Samuel Price following her down the hallway all the way to an unidentified room.]

Price: What the hell?

[The camera sees the unconscious, bloodied bodies of the El Perros, Monroe Jones and Tyson Kenneth O’Reilly]

Price: But I thought you were done making meat of the “mongrels”.

Karina: Oh no… that’s not me that did that!

[Karina opens the door revealing a boiler room. She walks inside of it and summons Price to follow him. They then spot a large, Russian man, capable of crushing just about anyone.]

Price: Oh my god! Who is this man?!?!?! He’s HUGE!

Karina: I’d like to introduce you to my new enforcer… Vladimir! Vlad?!?!?! You’re going to love this! I got you someone else you can destroy!

Price: You did? Who is it?

[Karina writes something down on the clipboard and then shows the camera that in the other blank spot, she wrote “SAMUEL PRICE” in capital letters!]

Karina: It’s YOU, you dumbass! Vlad… MAIM THE IDIOT!

[Karina turns around and walks out of the boiler room, slamming the door shut and laughing to herself as some clangs are heard from inside. Samuel Price is screaming for his life as Vlad beats the hell out of him. Karina checks off his name.]

Karina: Karen… Karen… Karen… there’s just one more name to check off and that’s you! When I’m done with you, you will always be remembered as the worthless, adopted MCBRIDE WHORE that is a blight on her family legacy! You created this *points to self*... well now… what you created with your negligence… is going to result in the end of your days!

[Karina snickers as she walks down the hallway all while her new enforcer finishes up the beating of Samuel Price from inside the boiler room. The door opens and Price flies out, lying down bloodied among El Perro and Tyson Kenneth O’Reilly as the scene fades.]

Last Woman Standing Match
Allison Lorraine vs. Laurel Anne Hardy

[Laurel and Allison begin with a brawl that spills to the outside. Laurel whips her into the steel steps. Laurel produces a Singapore cane and uses it violently against Allison’s head, back, and ribcage. Laurel produces a chair, a table, and a ladder, placing all three in the ring. Allison attacks with Ferocious Fate on the outside. Allison rolls her back into the ring. Allison gets the chair and swings but Laurel ducks. Laurel gets the chair and blasts Allison in the face three times, busting her wide open as a result. Laurel places Allison on the table. Laurel climbs up to the top and comes off with a shooting star press off the ladder through Allison through the table. Allison gets up at a count of 7. Laurel climbs back up to the top of the ladder but Allison meets her up there and drops her with Ferocious Fate off the top of the ladder! Both get up at the count of 8. The fight again spills out to the outside. Allison though noticeably changes her attack…she leaps over the top with a corkscrew plancha onto Laurel! Allison with stiff kicks and chops! Laurel responds with stiff kicks and chops of her own! They battle up the ramp. At the top of the stage Allison kicks her in the gut, doubling her over. Allison then with a sunset flip off the top of the stage causing both to land on the electrical equipment below! The referee is stunned and thus causes his count to be late. As a result, Allison and Laurel get up just before the referee is able to register the tenth count. Allison begs Laurel for more. Laurel obliges as the two brawl back towards the ring. Eventually they reach the ringside area. Allison produces a bag of broken glass and thumb tacks which she pours out in the ring. She drops Laurel with another Ferocious Fate on the tacks and glass! Allison climbs up and looks to end it with Eye of the Tiger but Laurel moves out of the way and Allison crashes into the broken glass and tacks! Laurel produces another table and brings it into the ring. She places a bloody and battered Allison on the table. Laurel climbs up the top of the ladder and comes off with Tsunami Wildfire, crashing through Allison, through the table! The referee begins is count…Laurel gets up at 6….Allison appears as if she may make it…but Allison collapses back down…10!]
WINNER: Laurel Anne Hardy

[Laurel celebrates her victory as Allison finally manages to pull herself up. Laurel braces herself for another attack but instead Allison extends her hand. Laurel accepts the handshake and then the two embrace in a tight hug. The crowd celebrates what appears to be a reunion of The Zodiac Killers!]

[The scene opens with Gabriela Austin walking in the hallway with Loretta Inglewood and Summer Collins Newman walking with her. They are about to walk through double doors with an exit sign above it.]

???; Ladies. Ladies. Ladies.

[All three are stopped in their tracks by the voice of Brittany Kayl. She makes her way within camera view. Britt holds the microphone to Gabriela.]

Kayl: Gabriela. Care to explain exactly what happened out there moments ago? The way you retained the International Championship wasn’t what some of your fans would consider--


Gabby: Let me stop you right there, Brittany. You’re a wrestler, an injured one, but a wrestler nonetheless. Can you be so kind to explain the rules of a triple threat match?


Kayl: No disqualification. First call by pin or submission wins.


Gabby: You would have a valid point if Loretta and Summer interfered in a match where there were rules. A triple threat match has none. So in my humble esteemed opinion, Purity did nothing wrong. There was nothing classless about the way I retained my title. Thanks to me, Loretta and Summer.. PURE CLASS... the classiest woman in all the land retained. Would you rather Jessica ‘Archangel’ Jones, a woman who doesn’t know who the hell she is by the way, carry this? Or would you prefer the conspiracy merchant The Truth walk around with the International Championship?

[Kayl goes to answer her question, then Gabby cuts her off.]

Gabby: Thought so. When I was traded from Shotgun to Livewire, who were the champions? Myra Lynwood, a woman who reeks of impurity and lacks class. Sedona Sky? Those two can’t get along to save their lives. Aphrodite Noel, another woman who lacks moral fiber was the North American Champion. And The Archangel was your near unbeatable International Champion. This place needed a injection of pure class, so when Purity came to me with an offer to cleanse this company, I couldn’t refuse. We are not interested in power. We are not interested in dominating the wrestling world, what our first priority is, is giving the GCW fans hope. Not the false hope Archangel gave you. But hope in the fact that you have role models to look up to. I admire Loretta’s single mindedness. Summer Newman has grown into an exceptional woman, purity needed a touch of class. So together we are Pure Class, your shining beacon of light.


Kayl: So you don’t feel bad deceiving all your fans?


Gabby: I didn’t deceive anyone.


Kayl: But you said you wanted to prove to everyone why you deserve the International Championship after your two associates played a role in you--

[Having enough of Brittany’s line of questioning, Loretta steps in front of Brittany Kayl. Hissing, Loretta says.]

Loretta: Where is your respect? You are speaking to the purest, classiest champion in the entire GCW. She should be commended on her courage. We don’t have enough people that display courage nowadays. We have a President who would rather fire the people who question him than accept the facts as they are. Fans now have a human being they can place their faith in. Summer has placed her faith in me. Gabby has as well. The three of us are on a Holy mission. One that transcends championships. Our concern is the moral and spiritual fabric of GCW. Let the purification begin.

[Brittany goes to ask another question but Pure Class turn their backs to her. The scene closes with all three ladies walking through the double doors that lead to the parking lot.]

Robert E. Lee: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Owner of Global Championship Wrestling, Dr. Henry Van Stanton!

(I Am The Doctor begins to play over the PA system. The crowd comes to life as Van Stanton steps out onto the stage dressed in his typical tweed jacket, bowtie, black dress pants and shoes. He waves at the crowd, smiling from ear to ear, as he makes his way down towards the ring. The Doctor then steps into the ring and retrieves the microphone from Robert E. Lee.)

Henry: Well hasn’t this been an exciting night?

(The crowd roars its approval. Henry nods in agreement.)

Henry: I mean, it will be difficult to top that Last Woman Standing Match or even Global X, but I’m sure Julia and Glory will do their best, as will Aphrodite and Myers in our main event, and that’s not all! Tonight is just the beginning of Resurrection! Tomorrow we honor the athletes of GCW with the Awards and Hall of Fame Ceremony!

(The crowd cheers loudly.)

Henry: And then the final night, live from Madison Square Garden, Resurrection’s main event of Victoria Salinas and Isabella Harker!

(The crowd roars loudly.)

Henry: But before we move on with our final two matches of this night, I do have one important announcement I would like to make and this definitely impacts everyone in GCW. Just like Glory Braddock changed the wrestling world forever six years ago by bringing back GCW, I am going to change the wrestling world again right here and right now by announcing the GCW Superstar Shake-Up Draft! Now what does that mean?

(He grins knowingly.)

Henry: Well, some Shotgun superstars will go to Livewire. Some Livewire superstars will go to Shotgun. This will change the landscape in a big way and, hopefully, in a good way as we give you, our GCW fans, some new matches to see, new people to see, and great new things to see! That being said, GERONIMO!

(Henry walks away.)

[Myra Lynwood has found another locker room to hang out in and she’s still incredibly pissed off from her earlier encounter with Clarissa Vega. She’s seething, but she is doing her very best to maintain control of herself. This is helped by the sudden presence of Adrian Waters as he walks in with a concerned look on his face.]

Adrian: Everything okay?

Myra: What do you think?

Adrian: I knew I had to find you as soon as you had that run in with Clarissa. Who the hell does she think she is to come here and talk to you like that?

Myra: She thinks she knows everything, Adrian. I’m so tired of her trying to interfere with our plans. I hope it was worth it for her because once Resurrection is over and we secure our dominance for good, the mole that’s been leaking our plans to her is going to be severely dealt with.

Adrian: You’re damn right. But, I do want to know something.

Myra: What’s that?

Adrian: That last question that Clarissa asked you… about when she went out and sought Sedona Sky. Did you really use her?

Myra: Of course I did! She was merely the tool that I needed to draw Andrea and Chelsea here. In fact, I’ll let you in on a secret. Remember when Tina Valentine got thrown out of Utopia? That wasn’t supposed to happen. Chelsea wasn’t supposed to replace Tina, she was supposed to complement her. In fact, Andrea ended up being Tina’s replacement and that’s the only reason I ever showed any interest in her. Really, it had nothing to do with her wrestling ability. Andrea has always been a hell of a wrestler. It had nothing to do with not standing out. In all honesty, the reason why I was never interested in Andrea was because she was too smart for the mission.

Adrian: You’re damn right about that.

Myra: There was never a global search for a new crown jewel. Chelsea was my target all along, knowing that among my former friend’s prized wrestling students… *laughs*... she just happened to be the dumbest one… someone for me to easily manipulate and mold into my own vision. She didn’t even need to be the best wrestler, just the one that was easily controllable. I never cared about Chelsea OR Andrea. I never cared about their careers. They were always minions to me and honestly, they’re both damaged goods now!

Adrian: Sedona Sky… what a waste.

Myra: There are going to be some serious changes for Utopia, and it’s NOT what everyone thinks. Everyone talks about how White Knight Jazmyn Rain and her Justice League is going to bring about the apocalypse of Utopia and how Sunday night is going to be the END. OH NO… Resurrection is going to be a NEW BEGINNING! Once we win, we’re not going to need Sedona Sky anymore. We’ll keep them around, but really, just to be the crash test dummies because that’s all they’re good for. That’s what we’ve been using them for since DAY ONE!

[The crowd reacts with a gasp as Myra and Adrian have a serious laugh.]

Myra: The way we’ve manipulated them lately… GENIUS! Spoiling Andrea so she can stay on our side? You hypnotizing Chelsea to keep her in line and be our precious little bitch like she’s always been? Yeah, all part of the plan. They’re going to be demoted and replaced by two NEW “crown jewels” who we will cherish and nurture to carry on OUR legacy, Adrian! Utopia has always been about US and OURS, Adrian! I’m so glad you’ve been a hell of a partner along the way.

Adrian: Anything for you love, anything for you. Funny thing, there is a draft coming.

Myra: You’re right. Hmm… hey if you could draft one Shotgun member into Utopia… who would you want?

Adrian: Hayley Gold! Easily! Girl has no direction! With our magic, we can revive her career! What about you? Anyone from Livewire you like?

Myra: Caitlyn Perry… so much untapped potential that Original Intent never got close to tapping into. At least both are wrestling centric!

Adrian: SO TRUE! If I hear “RATINGS” one more time, I’ll drown myself in liquor! GOD, Chelsea is the dumbest, most unbearable bitch I ever met. At least using her all this time was so much fun! Shame that Andrea ended her hypnosis by tearing that painting.

Myra: It’s fine… more fuel for the fire. Maybe Chelsea can be our maid or something you know? I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone in this business that’s stupider than her. What’s her IQ? Negative 5?

[Myra and Adrian continue to have a serious laugh at Chelsea’s expense and afterward, they continue to mock her and make fun of her lack of intelligence. But little do they know that just outside the door. Chelsea Summers was there… listening to the whole thing! Upon realizing what’s happening, and stung by the fact that they’re laughing at her and making fun of her, Chelsea quickly breaks down in tears as she continues to listen to Myra and Adrian make fun of her. As soon as those tears start running down her face, she bolts from the scene as it fades.]

Julia Braddock vs. Glory Braddock
[Glory starts with martial arts kicks and chops against her sister. A head scissors take down and then a clothesline sends Julia over the top and to the floor. Glory with a plancha over the top and onto Julia. Glory rolls Julia back into the ring. Glory with a dropkick and then a quick leg drop. Glory goes for a springboard asai moonsault but Julia gets her knees up driving them into the gut. Julia with
Julia In Excelsis Deo. Julia locks in a sharpshooter but Glory gets to the ropes. Julia with a snap mare take over into a rear naked choke. Glory fights back up and kicks her off. Glory hits the ropes but Julia catches her with a dropkick. Julia connects with Your Majesty, an ode to Aphrodite, to Glory. She locks Glory in a leg grapevine. Glory eventually reaches the ropes. Julia drapes her leg across the bottom rope and then cannonballs it four times before wrapping her leg in another leg grapevine. Glory again gets to the ropes. Julia drags Glory over to the turnbuckle and locks her in a figure four on the ring post. The referee begins his count and Julia breaks at four to ward off the disqualification. Julia drags her back out to the center and tries to lock in a figure four but Glory counters with a small package and gets a two. Glory with a ddt out of nowhere! Glory with Forearm strikes. Glory with a Northern Lights release suplex. She nails Julia with a Sitout jawbreaker. Glory runs off the ropes and hits a running knee but the work Julia did earlier on the leg did its damage and Glory feels the sting after she lands. Julia then lands a chop block. Then another! Julia with the Ex-Communication! Another Aphrodite move! Julia covers..1…2….3Kickout! Julia whips Glory into the ropes. Julia lowers her head too early and Glory nails a triple h knee to the face.

Julia turns around and gets floored with a bicycle kick. Glory drops her with a double arm ddt. She pulls Julia up and drops her with Gloria In Excelsis Deo! She pulls Julia back up, sets her up, and snaps off Glorification! The cover…1…2…3NOOO! Julia kicks out!]

[Glory with a quick clothesline and then a snap suplex. She goes up to the second rope and goes for Queen’s Ransom, Julia’s move, but Julia moves out of the way. Julia with a swinging neck breaker. Julia with a neck snapper and then she locks in a neck vice. Glory fights back to her feet and breaks it with elbows to the gut. Glory runs off the ropes and goes for a clothesline but Julia ducks it and drops her with Julia In Excelsis Deo. Julia goes for the cover…1…2…3NOO! Glory kicks out. Julia measures Glory as she pulls herself back up. She goes for Glorification but Glory counters by spinning her around, and then dropping her with a Glorification of her own! Glory goes for the cover…1…2…3NOOOOO! Julia kicks out! Glory locks Julia up in Glorify Thy Name. Julia manages to reach the ropes. Glory hooks Julia up for The Hot Shot but Julia back drops out of it. Julia kicks Glory in the gut and drills her with The Hot Shot! Julia goes for the cover…1…2…3NOOO! Glory kicks out! Julia pulls Glory up and goes for an STO but Glory stops her with elbows to the side of the head. Glory throws a right but Julia blocks it, spins her around, and locks in the Million Dollar Dream. Glory manages to fight her way out of it by falling over on top of Julia with Julia’s shoulders on the mat, forcing a pinning predicament and thus forcing Julia to break. Glory drops her with a pele kick. She locks her up in Book of the Apocalypse. Julia manages to reach the ropes. Glory attempts to lock it in again but Julia counters into a small package…1…2…3NOOO!

Glory stands back and waits as Julia gets to her feet before rushing in and nailing a bicycle kick. Glory locks in Shekhinah Glory…but Julia was too close to the ropes and she is able to make it to the ropes.]

[Nearly exhausted, Glory pulls Julia up to her feet. She goes for Glorification one last time but Julia counters into The Guillotine! Glory fights and claws to try and get to the ropes. She is fading fast and the referee checks her arm but Glory hangs on. Glory is almost to the ropes but Julia releases the hold, drags her back out to the center of the ring, and then reapplies The Guillotine! Glory struggles in the hold for several more moments before finally tapping out.]
WINNER: Julia Braddock

(We cut backstage to the office of GCW Livewire General Manager Francis Taylor, who is currently talking with her brother Matthew Taylor.)

Matthew: Arcadia Chavez is a wild card, sister.

Francis: I know this.

Matthew: Do you really know this? Arcadia was dangerous before. Psychiatrists have diagnosed her with multiple personality disorder. But now, after seeing what she did to Matt Alan, clearly something has changed.

(She nods her head in agreement.)

Francis: I agree, something has changed in that young woman.

Matthew: So we should do something about it!

(She shakes her head.)

Francis: I don’t think so, dear brother. I mean, what damage has she really done? She humiliated Lester Sampson tonight, but that’s not illegal. And as far as the assault on Matt Alan, well, we all know of Matt Alan’s reputation. Many times has he tried to take over GCW by force. Do we really want a wild card like him running around? Arcadia just eliminated a potential threat to the peace and stability of Livewire.

Matthew: So you want us to leave her alone?

Francis: Indeed, I can’t do anything now anyway. This superstar shake-up draft may end up sending her to Shotgun and thus she would no longer be our problem anyway. Besides, a source has informed me that certain individuals may be taking care of the situation for us.

Matthew: Really? Care to enlighten me?

(Francis smirks.

Francis: Trust me, dear brother, you do not want to know.

(End of scene.)

(We cut backstage where we find Arcadia Chavez walking backstage. But she stops when, dead ahead of her, she sees Sophie O’Brian and Mark O’Brian.)

Arcadia: More victims…?

(Chavez approaches Sophie and Mark, growling angrily.)

Arcadia: You have guts standing there, blocking my path! You saw what I did to Sampson tonight! He’s gone because of me!

Sophie: Yes, and we saw what you did to Matt Alan tonight as well.

(Chavez smirks.)

Arcadia: Some of my best work.

Sophie: I could not agree more, Arcadia, and that’s why I think you and I have some business to attend to.

Arcadia: I got no business with you!

Sophie: Oh quite the contrary, you and I have a lot of business to attend to.

(The threesome walk away.)

She quickly gets rid of the evidence and then connects with Ex-Communication! She covers just as the referee recovers…1…2…3NOOO! Myers gets a shoulder up!]

Re: Resurrection VI

Post by admin » Sat May 13, 2017 10:47 am

“History has already been made…”

(We see Aphrodite Noel winning the GCW Global Championship on Night One of Resurrection.)

“…the world has already been shocked…”

(We see Julia Braddock defeating Glory Braddock.)

“…alliances have been formed…”

(We see Gabriela Austin, Loretta Inglewood, and Summer Newman celebrating after Gabby’s successful title defense.)

“…and friendships renewed…”

(We see Allison Lorraine and Laurel Anne Hardy embracing after their hard fought Last Woman Standing Match.)

“…now we honor all who have made this year a success as well as those who helped build GCW into what it is today…”

“…it is time for the GCW Awards and Hall of Fame Show on Night Two of Resurrection!”

(We cut to a large crowd in the arena. There is a stage set up. The best seats in the front row are where the GCW superstars and staff are seated. There are thousands of lucky fans in attendance here as well.)

“And now, your masters of ceremonies, your hosts for the evening, a man with only three sexual harassment violations on his record, JACK GRIFFITH!”

(The crowd is in shock as this GCW and GDW legend steps out onto the stage with a flashy gold suit with blinking red lights.)

“And the co-host, a man who earned his spot in the GDW Hall of Fame based solely on the fact that he had to put up with this piece of perverted garbage for so long, JIM BISHOP!”

(The crowd cheers loudly for Jim Bishop as he steps out onto the stage wearing a traditional black and white suit, standing next to his longtime broadcast colleague Jack Griffith.)

Bishop: Welcome to the…

Griffith: Shut up, Jimbo! This is my job!

Bishop: Huh?

Griffith: You heard the idiot on the intercom. I was announced first, I’m the STAR of the show!

Bishop: We’re co-hosts, Jack. Besides, this isn’t about you or me, this is about the stars of GCW and recognizing them for their accomplishments.

Griffith: Whatever. I just want to get to the Livewire Award for Best Looking! I should’ve been the judge of that one, Jim. I mean, look at those women nominated for that award. All those curves and me with no breaks.

Bishop: Uh, Jack, you might want to be careful when that award comes up. You don’t want to violate your parole.

Griffith: What?!

Bishop: That’s what I thought. Now let’s go to our first award. It’s for Match of the Year and we can narrow it down to the top four! Jack…

Jack: The top three, in no particular order, are…

“MYRA LYNWOOD VS JAZMYN RAIN IN THE SEVEN STAGES OF HELL MATCH…”

“GLORY BRADDOCK VS JAZMYN RAIN…”

“CHANTELLE CHAMBERS VS VICTORIA SALINAS VS JULIA BRADDOCK…”

“MYRA LYNWOOD VS TIM MYERS IN A STEEL CAGE!”

Bishop: Thank you, Jack. I can now announce that third place is a TIE between Myra Lynwood vs Tim Myers in a Steel Cage and Glory Braddock vs Jazmyn Rain!

Griffith: Which means the winner of Match of the Year is……MYRA LYNWOOD VS JAZMYN RAIN in SEVEN STAGES OF HELL!

(Myra Lynwood and Jazmyn Rain step up to the stage on opposite ends. Jim Bishop and Jack Griffith produce two trophies, one which Bishop hands to Jazmyn and the other which Griffith hands to Myra. Griffith catches a slap to the face from Myra after Jack cops a feel. Jack and Jim step away to leave the podium to Myra and Jazmyn.)

Myra: You know, I really should be given both trophies, seeing as I did win that match.


Jazmyn: You really are full of yourself…

Myra: I’m just stating facts. This is the match of the year and I won, you didn’t.

Jazmyn: Yeah and who knows, we may have another match of the year tomorrow, but guess what? Tomorrow’s match of the year candidate will turn out different.

(Myra smirks.)

Myra: We’ll see about that.

(Myra and Jazmyn turn and go their separate ways. Jim and Jack return to their places.)

Bishop: And now it’s time for the Livewire Award…

Griffith: Can I announce this one? Please! Please! Please!

Bishop: …against my better judgment, yes, you may…

(Jack seems to burst with excitement.)

Griffith: Alright! Then let me announce the top four sexy bitches in no particular order…

“…CHANTELLE CHAMBERS, oh how I’d love to put all my eyes, my hands, fingers, and toes on her…”

“…HANNAH MYERS, she may be dumb as a box of rocks but then again, that’s how uncle Jackie likes them…”

“…JAZMYN RAIN, why can’t a sexy broad like that be more like Myra or Chantelle…”

“…GLORY BRADDOCK, she used to own GCW, and I’d sure like to own her! WHOO!”

(Jim Bishop rolls his eyes.)

Griffith: Now, TIED for third place is……HANNAH MYERS AND CHANTELLE CHAMBERS!

(Jack’s eyes pop out of his head.)

Griffith: What?! NO! I demand a recount! Chantelle is dead sexy!

(Jack sighs.)

Griffith: The winner of the Livewire Award for Sexiest & Best Looking Wrestler in GCW…..GLORY BRADDOCK!”

(Glory Braddock ascends the stage. She knows from Myra’s experience earlier not to get too close to Jack. She stays a safe distance away, just close enough to take the trophy from him.)

Glory: Ironic, at one point no one would’ve guessed that I would win an award for Best Looking, I mean all of my life I’ve been tomboyish. Only after I met Aphrodite did I start to take on more ladylike traits, and that is part of the reason I think of her as my mother. She gave birth to Gloria the lady, Gloria the Princess. But then Jazmyn Rain showed me that I can be beautiful and be the best damn wrestler in the world at the same time. They may not like one another, but I have to thank both of them for me finally being at peace with who I am. Thank you.

(Glory steps away. Jim and Jack return to the stage.)

Griffith: Ok, this next one is all yours…

Bishop: Really?

Griffith: Yeah, I don’t give a damn whose year this next one will be.

(Jim rolls his eyes.)

Bishop: Whatever, the top three in no particular order are…

“…GLORY BRADDOCK…”

“…APHRODITE NOEL…”

“…TRAVIS VESSEY…”

Bishop: Coming in third place is……TRAVIS VESSEY! Which means your winner of the Shotgun Award is……GLORY BRADDOCK!

(Glory returns to the stage and accepts the shotgun award from Jim Bishop after shaking his hand.)

Glory: Wow, I didn’t expect to return to the stage this quickly. But this award it…

(She gets choked up as she looks at the award and then out in the audience.)

Glory: …I just…

“You don’t deserve it!”

(Julia Braddock storms up onto the stage.)

Julia: Let’s face facts, Glory. I beat you last night, how can this year be YOUR year when you lost? And last night the person who came in second place, Aphrodite Noel, she won the GCW Global Championship. If anyone deserves it, then it is her. But she didn’t win it, you did. And who beat you?

(She pats herself on the chest.)

Julia: I did. I beat you! So tell me, who is The Best in the World? TELL ME!

Glory: It was only one match…

Julia: Yes but in that one match I proved who the best is! I AM THE BEST IN THE WORLD!

(Glory growls angrily.)

Glory: Not here, Julia.

Julia: Fine, not here, in fact…

(She chuckles.)

Julia: Why should I? I have nothing left to prove. I beat you, Glory. I am The Best in the World and I proved it. You are the one with the burden of proof, Glory. I exposed you as the fraud that you are. You don’t deserve those awards.

(Glory walks off the stage. Julia laughs nastily as the crowd boos her off the stage. Jim and Jack return to the stage.)

Bishop: That was troubling.

Griffith: I agree, it didn’t end in a cat fight. Damn it.

Bishop: Anyway, next award to be presented is Newcomer of the Year. The top four, in no particular order, are…

“…ANDREA HERNANDEZ…”

“…MATTY GRAVES…”

“…DARIAN ANDREWS…”

“…QUEEN MAMBA…”

Griffith: Third place is a tie between MATTY GRAVES and QUEEN MAMBA!

Bishop: And that means the winner of Newcomer of the Year is…….DARIAN ANDREWS!

(Darian Andrews steps up to the stage and takes the trophy from Jim Bishop.)

Darian: Thanks guys! Thanks for the vote of confidence from the GCW Universe! Being in GCW has been awesome, it’s been even better as your GCW World Tag Team Champ with my bud Matty over there, and tomorrow night, hopefully we’ll bring home the UNDISPUTED GCW Tag Team Titles! How’s that sound?

(The crowd roars its approval. Darian then steps off the stage.)

Bishop: The next award is all about being able to work together. Like you and I, Jack.

Griffith: I hate you, Jim.

(Jim rolls his eyes.)

Bishop: This is the award for Tag Team of the Year. The top three in no particular order are…

“…THE GINGER NATION…”

“…SEDONA SKY…”

“…HIGH VOLTAGE…”

Griffith: Third place is…SEDONA SKY!

Bishop: Which means the winners of the Tag Team of the Year…………GINGER NATION!

(All six #GingerNation members step up to the stage, led by Marie Jones and Jenni Anderson, followed by Allison Lorraine and Karina Lysenko, and lastly Destiny Skye and The Ginger Enigma bringing up the rear. And yes, there is a trophy for each of them.)

Jenni: Two years in a row!

(Jenni flashes two fingers high in the air.)

Jenni: Two years in a row we’ve won this award!

Marie: It just shows that nothing can overcome the longevity and greatness of the #GingerNation. We’ll always be here. Always.

Allison: And tomorrow night, we’ll be the ones who unify the GCW Global and World Tag Team Titles, becoming the first ever Undisputed GCW Tag Team Champions!

Enigma: SMOOSHED! MERDE! ZIPPY!

(Jim and Jack return to the stage.)

Bishop: And now the award for Most Hated Wrestler…

Griffith: You mean the Wrestler that these ingrates just can’t learn to appreciate?

(The crowd boos loudly.)

Griffith: Ah shaddup!

Bishop: The top four in no particular order are…

“…MYRA LYNWOOD…”

“…ADRIAN WATERS…”

“…ALLISON LORRAINE…”

“…CHANTELLE CHAMBERS…”

Griffith: Coming in third place is…ADRIAN WATERS! That means there is a TIE for second place and one of the second place winners is ALLISON LORRAINE!

Bishop: That narrows it down to Myra Lynwood and Chantelle Chambers, one of them tied with Allison for second place and the other is the winner of the Most Hated. The WINNER of the award for Most Hated Wrestler is……….MYRA LYNWOOD!

(Myra returns to the stage to a chorus of boos. She laughs nastily.)

Myra: It’s music to my ears! That’s what won me this award, right?

(She takes the trophy from Jim Bishop. Jack smacks her on the ass and she turns and blasts him in the head with the trophy.)

Myra: Try that again!

(Myra walks off, receiving some cheers but only because she attacked Jack Griffith who was far more annoying than her.)

Bishop: Well while my colleague recovers, I’ll go ahead and move on with the show. Most Loved Wrestler! The top three, in no particular order, are…

“…JAZMYN RAIN…”

“…BROOKLYN SMITH…”

“…TIMOTHY MYERS…”

Bishop: And coming in third place is…TIMOTHY MYERS! Which means the winner of Most Loved Wrestler of the year is…JAZMYN RAIN!

(Jazmyn returns to the stage, accepting the trophy from Jim Bishop.)

Jazmyn: Thank you, Jim, and thank you to all of the fans who made this possible! I do this for all of you who believe in me and tomorrow night, when the Most Hated fights the Most Loved, I’m going to fighting for each and every one of you!

(The crowd roars loudly. Jazmyn returns to her seat and Jim Bishop returns to the stage.)

Bishop: The next award is….Jack? Jack are you ok?

(Jack Griffith stumbles back to his feet.)

Griffith: Yeah, I think so…

Bishop: It’s time for Wrestler of the Year. Are you ready?

Griffith: Let’s get ready to rumble!

Bishop: Yeah, he’s ready…now the top three in no particular order are…

“…MYRA LYNWOOD…”

“…TIMOTHY MYERS…”

“…JAZMYN RAIN…”

Griffith: Coming in at third place is….JAZMYN RAIN!

(Myra points and laughs at Jazmyn.)

Bishop: And the winner of the Wrestler of the Year Award is…

(Myra starts to get up, anticipating that she’ll get it.)

Bishop: …TIMOTHY MYERS!

(Myra nearly blows a gasket as she is shocked that Myers got it instead of her. Now it’s Jazmyn pointing and laughing at Myra as she kicks, screams, and throws a tantrum. Timothy Myers steps up to the stage and accepts his award.)

Myers: This is a huge honor, it really and truly is. And last night may have been a big letdown, a big disappointment, but this right here, it makes it all worthwhile, knowing that I’m appreciated for what I do each and every time I step into the ring. Thank you very much and Aphrodite…

(He points at Aphrodite in the crowd.)

Myers: I’m coming for my championship!

(The crowd roars loudly as Jim Bishop and Jack Griffith return to the stage.)

Bishop: Now that the awards show has finished, we turn to the Hall of Fame portion of the ceremony. We start out with the induction of the former GCW World Tag Team Champions, The Zodiac Killers!

Griffith: First, welcome Laurel Anne Hardy!

(Laurel steps onto the stage. Immediately she slaps Jack.)

Griffith: Hey! What was that for?

(Laurel points in his face and says sternly:)

Laurel: Stop being inappropriate.

(Jack grumbles under his breath as Laurel approaches the podium. Before she can say anything Allison Lorraine gets onto the stage as well and joins her. Laurel double takes; clearly, from their expressions, they'd both uncertain about how this was going to go down...)

Laurel: Uh, hey mate, watcha doing up here?

Allison: We’re doing this right, Laurel. We’re doing this together.

Laurel: Allison, there’s nothin’ more I’d want than us to be inducted together, but... I didn’t think you wanted it.

Allison: You were right about me, Laurel. I had changed, and not in a good way. I was nearly lost in my ego but you wouldn’t give up on me. And that speaks of true friendship. True friends will not give up on one another, no matter what happens between them. You didn’t give up on me, Laurel, and for that I thank you.

(Allison holds out her hand for a handshake. Laurel closes her eyes for a moment, then smiles.)

Laurel: True friends forgive each other, too. I did an awful thing to you two years ago. I didn't have your back when you needed it. We were supposed to be friends, partners, and I walked out on you. I'm sorry.

Allison: I forgive you if you forgive me.

(Laurel nods and accepts the handshake, and they quickly pull one another into a tight embrace.)

Allison: We were great as The Zodiac Killers and hell, maybe we can be great as The Zodiac Killers again?

Laurel: What about your ginger pals?

Allison: They won’t mind. They’re real cool when you get to know them. So what do you say, after tonight we go get a few beers?

(Laurel smiles.)

Laurel: I’d like that. And I’ll be there tomorrow to watch you and your ginger pals fight for the tag title, but don’t get me wrong, I’m only cheering for you... not them...

Allison: Hermana, your brother's in the match. I get it.

(Laurel grins, and she and Allison embrace in a tight hug as the crowd cheers loudly for the newest inductees into the GCW Hall of Fame. Allison and Laurel leave the stage. Jim Bishop and Jack Griffith return to the stage.)

Bishop: And now please welcome 2002 GCW Hall of Fame Inductee Kayla Jones and 2014 GCW Hall of Fame Inductee Marie Annabelle Jones!

(Marie Annabelle Jones and her aunt Kayla Jones step up to the stage.)

Marie: It is our distinct honor and privilege to induct this next person into the Hall of Fame. She has had such a great impact upon so many lives but for me, she is more than just a wrestler, more than just a multiple time world champion; for me, she is just mom.

Kayla: This woman has been my sister for much longer than she had ever been my tag team partner but as my tag team partner we’ve dominated the tag divisions of GDW, MCW, SCW, and even here in GCW. Tomorrow night, hopefully we can claim the GCW Undisputed Tag Team Championship. But for now it is our honor and privilege to induct ANGELICA JONES into the GCW HALL OF FAME!

(Angelica Jones steps up onto the stage. She embraces her sister Kayla first and then embraces her daughter Marie. Angelica steps up to the podium.)

Angel: Wow, I don’t know what to say. I once said I’ve done everything I could in pro-wrestling. I once said that there was nothing left for me to accomplish. Maybe I was wrong? Because now I feel an all new sense of accomplishment. NOW I finally feel as if I have done it all. See, I never was a GCW Original. I joined after GCW merged with IDW to form GDW. I came in under the new GDW regime. Kayla is the GCW Original, not me. But now here I am, in the same hall of fame as my sister and my daughter…it feels great…THANK YOU!

[Standing on stage right now is Julia Braddock.]

Julia: GCW Resurrected six years ago and since then many individuals have made their impact upon this great company. You can think of names like Glory Braddock...who I beat, by the way...the Jones family, Matt Alan, Jason Redfield, who were all there from the start of the new GCW until today. Most of those names are already in the hall of fame. But one name has not been inducted yet. One individual has done just as much for GCW as anyone else. She has remained loyal to GCW when the inferior competition came forward with huge, grandiose offers...and believe me, they were there...but she remained loyal to Global Championship Wrestling. Many forget about her achievements, among them tag title reigns and the record for longest North American Champion in GCW History, all because you prefer to focus on Camelot. But for me, what I remember about her is how she helped mold me into the athlete I am today. I present to you the woman about to be inducted into the GCW Hall of Fame, and deservedly so, MY MOTHER Aphrodite Noel!

[Aphrodite walks out to an applause. Aphrodite and Julia hug each other. Her former daughter exits the stage to give Aphrodite her moment.]

Aphrodite: Thanks Julia for the fitting induction.

When I found out I was going to FINALLY be inducted into the GCW Hall of Fame, my immediate thought was, it’s about time. Much like my journey to become the Global Heavyweight Champion...

[Aphrodite pauses, giving a slight smirk.]

Aphrodite: There were people who were inducted into the Hall of Famer who deserved to wait in the back of the line. If you’re expecting a speech how I am so overcome with emotion about FINALLY receiving a spot that should had been mine long ago, you’re wrong. What has driven me from day one has been the chip on my shoulder I rode to this moment. When no one took Camelot seriously, I was the straw that stirred that drink. When our owner Henry Von Staton thought eating a bunch of jelly babies was enough to drive me out of GCW, he was wrong. I bet everyone enjoyed the day Camelot disbanded. Everyone in the back thought that would be the end of me. And what happened? Last year I defeated a monster, I went on to become the longest reigning North American Champion in history and its not easy close. Last night, when everyone put their money on Tim Myers to crush my five years of living in purgatory, I proved once again why it is a mistake to underestimate me when I want to achieve my goals. I am a Hall of Famer, and I am your Global Heavyweight Champion.

[Aphrodite pauses to soak in the moment.]

Aphrodite: I don’t care who challenges me. Whether Tim wants a rematch or Jazmyn Rain is waiting in the wings, I want to take this time to say that my reign is not a transitional one. I did not win this championship to hand it over to anyone who has, in the past, I felt leap frogged over me to get it. I am not going to turn this over so someone else can live their fantasy. If my next challenger is you Myra, I do consider you a soul sister, with all due respect, this is my time. I have waited five years to claim a World Championship. I am not letting this go without a fight. I’m where I belong, among the elite in this company and in GCW history. I will admit I am honored to be in the Hall of Fame. Only the best of the best can say that honor. And as a woman who is a Hall of Famer and a Global Champion, destiny has shined brightly on me.

So, there’s only one thing left to say...

[Aphrodite holds the Global Championship in the air as she screams into the microphone.]

Aphrodite: Worship me.

[She smirks and walks off stage with the crowd fired up.]

[Next up Jim Bishop returns to the stage.]

Jim Bishop: And the next Hall of Fame inductee, a former GCW World Champion….MICHAEL MCKAY!

[Michael McKay steps up onto the stage to thunderous applause. He shakes Bishop’s hand before taking the podium.]

McKay: You have no idea how surprised I was to get the call telling me that I was to be inducted into the GCW Hall Of Fame. Cee says I looked startled. Ben says that I looked like I’d been hit in the face with a fish. My grand-daughter did slide off the couch laughing, so take that as you will.

It was both an honour and a privilege to work for GCW. Every single member of the roster that I worked with was professional and sincere, and there are a few that I am proud to call my friends. Even now, watching the shows as a spectator rather than a performer, it makes me proud to see such strong talent following their dreams.

I could list everyone who I feel helped me to this spot. I could thank my family and my friends for always being behind me. I could name check wrestlers from the past who supported me, I could list GCW alumni who helped me get back into the ring. I could thank each and every one of the fans for always being there.

But that’s what I’ve done all of my life. Every time I stepped into the building, or stepped into the ring, I like to think that I was offering a silent thanks to everyone. But now, it’s time for the verbal thanks.

Thank you. All of you. For everything.

For the first time in my life, retirement suits me, and I don’t think that I’ll ever return to the ring as a competitor. But thank you, GCW, for remembering me. I’ll always remember you.

And for once, clear skies are on the way.

Maria Prado, Malcolm Cross’ longtime mouthpiece, walks onto the stage, a picture of radiant beauty. Striding to the microphone, she looks over the politely applauding crowd. A small smile crawls onto her face…

Prado: “Thank you…”

As the applause begins to subside, she begins…

Prado: “The beginning of Malcolm Cross’ tenure in GCW was something of an inconspicuous occasion. He had found someone who had legitimately and callously broke the heart of family… that was the root of this. Poor Tammara Todd had been taken for granted, and Malcolm, the caring brother-in-law that he is, decided to punish Steven Bauer for it. I know you remember the name “Bauer”. I know that name carries a stain on it the likes of which few others do. But as it would turn out, eradicating the Bauer influence from Livewire, and watching it get snuffed out over on Shotgun, was only the beginning of what Malcolm Cross would achieve in this company.”

She raises her hand to the screen behind her, showing Malcolm defeating Travis Vessey for the Global Championship.

Prado: “Through his conflict with the Bauers, he found himself facing Apocalypse… but not only did he not crumble, as so many others before him had, he survived and he thrived. There can be no question of this. He emerged stronger and more dangerous than before. He was also more influential. He attracted attention from both within GCW and outside… not always favourable, but always there. But it was never planned.”

She offers a smile…

Prado: “Because nothing of this man is planned. He is a true agent of chaos… doing as he feels in the moment, and showing no regrets. May we all be so lucky as to find that medium and excel. And now, from his own words… two-time Global Champion, last year’s Match of the Year and Wrestler of the Year winner… the most dangerous, unpredictable man in GCW’s history… and your new Hall of Fame member, Malcolm Cross.”

The crowd rise to their feet in an applause as Malcolm Cross steps out from the back, clad all in black. He approaches Prado at the microphone, and she turns the podium over to him. He surveys the crowd, the same stoic expression on his face. As he leans into the microphone, he shakes his head.

Cross: “No.”

The applause silences pretty quickly.

Cross: “You are inducting me into your Hall of Fame tonight because you believe that my tenure has come to an end. You wish… you wish to honour me for what I have accomplished, as though it puts me on a downward trajectory. Mark my words… it is not over.”

This brings some more applause from the crowd… applause that Malcolm does not acknowledge.

Cross: “If you think a trinket and a paper honour is going to be what soothes the savage beast inside of me into submission, you are sorely mistaken. You may be inducting me tonight, but I can promise you that we have barely scratched the surface into what I am capable of. And for everyone on the GCW roster… and one in particular at the moment… that thought should be terrifying.”

With that, the ceremonial music plays again and Malcolm exits the stage area, not taking a single moment to soak in the adulation that was supposed to be his. Maria smirks and follows…

Re: Resurrection VI

Post by Jazmyn Rain » Sun May 14, 2017 2:08 pm

Tonight… a history making weekend concludes…

(A clip shows Total War breaking down High Voltage at a recent Livewire…)

...those seeking greatness rise to the occasion…

(The next clip features Karina Lysenko assaulting Madame Santos)

New forces emerge…

(The next clip shows Loretta Inglewood and Summer Newman beating down Cassidy Haze and Kordy)

A new era emerges….

(Clips of some of the recent best of Nate Lawson, Dominic Baine and Travis Vessey are shown.}

And careers are altered forever!!!!


(This cues a video montage featuring Katherine Prescott and her recent overcomings of Jason Redfield’s GDW alumni challenges, Brookford choking out Chelsea Summers, Jazmyn Rain pinning Adrian Waters, Utopia beating down their rivals and standing tall, Ginger Nation defeating Controversy at Civil War, Darian Andrews and Matty Graves dethroning Sedona Sky, the Sisterhood’s various tag team accomplishments throughout their careers, Isabella Harker winning the Civil War match, Victoria Salinas defeating Julia Braddock for the GCW World Championship and lastly, Isabella nailing Victoria with the Stake on the last edition of Shotgun!)

On the final night of Resurrection weekend, the biggest stars take the biggest stage under the brightest lights of all in the Big Apple!

Tonight…

...it’s the conclusion of a new beginning!

Night Three begins NOW!!!!

[After a hell of a pyro display inside Madison Square Garden, the sold out crowd is going completely insane knowing that Night Three of Resurrection is about to begin. It’s not long before the hook of “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga hits and there’s a pretty strong cheer as Shotgun General Manager Allison Mayberry comes out, wasting no time walking down the ramp with a confident smile on her face, knowing that this is definitely going to be a huge night. She walks up the stairs and into the ring, taking the microphone from the ring announcer. Her theme fades and the fans are still cheering.]

Allison: Welcome to NIGHT THREE of Resurrection!

[The crowd explodes in cheers!]

Allison: Tonight, the epic final chapter of the greatest weekend in GCW history! Now, before I get to that, I did promise that I would have a history making announcement and in particular, I noted that Nate Lawson, Travis Vessey and Dominic Baine, whom are all scheduled to compete for the Television Championship, will be the ones making that history tonight. Now, I’m not going to milk this for long. I’m not all for dramatics and suspense so, the first thing I am going to do, to make this announcement even MORE special is invite a special guest to the ring. Ladies and gentlemen, fittingly making this announcement with me is none other than a former GCW Television Champion and the newest member of the interview team…. Brittany Kayl!!!!

[The crowd cheers as Brittany Kayl makes her way down the ramp to her theme and she’s just as confident as Allison is as she gets in the ring herself with her own microphone.]

Brittany: Thank you! And thank you Allison, for letting me be part of this moment. Now, for this moment it was only fitting that the one, true innovator of KAYL TV came in to spice things up. So, let’s cut to the chase and talk about what you have in store for Nate, Travis and Dominic.

Allison: Precisely. Now, as I mentioned just moments ago, the three participants for the Television Championship match are in for a very special surprise. See, the Television Championship has certainly had its amazing moments throughout its lifetime. There have been many great champions throughout its time, some of whom, wound up becoming World Champions. In fact, two years ago at this very event, it was Television Champion Victoria Salinas that made history by becoming the World champion in a title for title match. But, Vicky’s not the only great TV Champion. The likes of Kayla Jones, Aphrodite Noel, Julia Braddock, Kurt Logan and more recently, Nate Lawson, have represented the VERY BEST of this championship!

Brittany: AHEM!

Allison: Right, and definitely you as well, Brittany, being the very first TV Champion of the new era in GCW!

Brittany: That’s KAYLTV Champion to you!

Allison: Of course! So, it’s fitting that you, the first TV Champion of this era talk about a new heritage that is coming to the Television Championship.

Brittany: Definitely. Now, without any further ado…

Voice: NO!!!!! NO NO NO NO NO!!!!

[The crowd boos as Madame Santos walks through the curtains.]

Santos: Nobody makes history on this night before I DO!!!!

[Santos starts heading toward the ring.]

Brittany: You? Making history? YOU?!?!?!

Santos: Yes! Me! The great Madame Santos!!!!

[Santos steps through the ring.]

Santos: I will not be silenced! I will no longer take disrespect! I have waited far too long for my day to come and it comes NOW! It’s time for me to show the world that I, Madame Santos, deserve to have a match at Resurrection. Give Madame Santos a CHANCE! So, Allison… I am asking… no…. DEMANDING that you add me to that history making TV title match as a fourth participant and when I win, I demand you sign me to the most lucrative contract in Shotgun history! Because I… Miss Mayberry… am a megastar in waiting.

Allison: Um…

Brittany: No offense but the last time you won a match, Canada was still a British commonwealth.

Santos: SILENCE! I… deserve… RESPECT!!!! Miss Mayberry… I want a Shotgun contract and a spot in the TV title match and I want it NOW!!!!! This WILL be my day, at long last!

Allison: No.

Santos: You dictator whore! You’re just as out of touch with reality like Miss Kayl TV who unlike her, I am still wrestling and I didn’t run away to the interview team like this coward. It’s a NEW DAY for Madame Santos because…

[Brittany suddenly kicks Madame Santos in the gut, lifts her up and drops her right on her head and neck with the “My Bitch” brainbuster finisher that she’s known for. The fans become unglued as Brittany picks up the mic again.]

Brittany: Madame Santos… the only person ever in GCW to be EVERYONE’S bitch!

Allison: Public… relations… DISASTER! And the worst part is, because of this interruption, we’re out of time to make the announcement.

[The crowd boos in response.]

Crowd: Fire Santos! Fire Santos! Fire Santos!

Allison: No worries though, we WILL have this announcement at some point tonight. Enjoy the show!

Brittany: And let’s send it to the back to Roderick who is with a very special guest…

[Brittany and Allison leave as the broadcast fades backstage.]

Roderick Osborne stands backstage shortly after Night 3 of Resurrection is on the air. He is flanked on either side by the two ladies of High Voltage...Brooklyn Smith with the North American Championship belt around her waist.

Roderick: "Here we go! Night 3 of Resurrection and we'll be kicking it off with the GCW North American Championship. This match will have a twist to it, as it will be High Voltage defending on behalf of Brooklyn Smith vs. Total War, representing Sophie O'Brian. Let's start with you, Brooklyn. Sophie really stooped low trying to throw you off my game. Is this personal for you now?"

Smith grimaces and nods.

Brooklyn: "Yeah, you got it exactly right. Sophie claims I'm some sort of experiment and she's trying to unleash my inner beast or some crap like that. But, what it comes down to is a time-honored tradition in pro wrestling...she's playing mind games, trying to get under my skin. Is it personal now? Yes and no. It was personal from Day 1, Sam. Anyone who knows me knows I'm fiercely loyal to my friends...and the way Sophie treated Jazmyn put Sophie immediately on my shit list. Has Sophie gotten under my skin? Yep, but not because she dug up dirt on me...although how she found out all that information is more than a little unnerving. No, some of those things she said at the last Livewire hurt others I am close with. I am definitely motivated to take Sophie and Mark down tonight."

Roderick: "Olivia, tonight you help Brook defend her North American Championship. What if you get the pinfall?"

Olivia looks at Price looking more than a little confused.

Olivia: "What about it? Brooky is the champion. If we win, she will still be the champion. That's the rules of the match, and I'm good with it! Brooky and I were World Tag-Team Champions for over nine months... she's my sister, my BFF, and I'm honored to be defending the North American belt with her...but it is HER belt! I don't like what that poohead Sophie said about Brooky or the other stuff she has done...and I don't trust her poopy brother. I'm going to be there to make sure no foul play causes her this title that she has worked so hard for."

Olivia smiles and nods her head.

Osborn turns the mic back to Brook.

Brooklyn: "Two weeks ago, I defeated Mark O'Brian in a street fight...a match type that should have guaranteed him victory. Sophie thinks there is a monster in me she can unleash. No, Sophie, there is no monster in me...but you have pushed me too far. You haven't unleashed a monster, but you have pissed me off. You want a fight Sophie? Liv and I will give you a fight! We will prevent you from becoming North American Champion. Tonight, High Voltage will kick off Night 3 of Resurrection with a bang!"

The two women high five and walk off to a huge ovation from the NYC crowd, and the scene cuts.

(We cut backstage where we spot Angelica Jones and her sister Kayla Jones in the ready area. The camera is focused on the intense looks on their faces.)

Angel: Resurrection is finally here. After months of trash talk, after months of Ginger Nation games and attacks on not only us, but on Darian Andrews and Matty Graves as well, after months of games, the games are over, the talk is over; it’s time to put up or shut up as we decide the first Undisputed GCW Tag Team Championship.

Kayla: I punched The Sisterhood’s ticket to Resurrection by placing third in the Civil War Match. Ever since then we’ve had to deal with the Ginger Nation problem. And you know what? I can’t blame them. It’s clear they feel threatened by The Sisterhood and they ought to feel threatened.

(She holds up five fingers.)

Kayla: Five times we’ve held world tag team championships together, five times we’ve been at the top of the mountain and we’ve done it by defeating the very best tag teams out there. Do you think we sweat a few redheaded mean girl rejects?

(The elder Jones shakes her head.)

Angel: No, we don’t sweat them. We know that the Ginger Nation only has one advantage and that is strength in numbers but we’ve overcome greater odds than that in the past, and besides, it isn’t like we’re alone in this…

(She smirks.)

Angel: Darian Andrews and Matty Graves, you’ve been great World Tag Team Champions, and tonight it will ultimately have to come down to our two teams eventually, but we both have the Ginger Nation problem to deal with. I suggest we take care of them, teach them a lesson they’ll never forget, and then settle it between the two of us.

Kayla: But make no mistake about it, boys, this is every team for itself because only one team can leave as the first ever Undisputed GCW Tag Team Champion, only one team can make history tonight, and by God, we will do whatever it takes to make sure that team is The Sisterhood, even if it means kicking your teeth right down your throat!

North American Championship
High Voltage (champion) vs. Total War


[Night three of Resurrection would begin with a grudge filled tag team match that really was an entertaining affair. While Brooklyn wanted every piece of Sophie, Sophie wanted to avoid her in every way possible. Thus, Brooklyn mostly fought Mark and Olivia mostly fought Sophie. For the former GCW Tag Team Champions, this wasn’t looking good. Total War tried every trick in the book from cheap shots to chop blocks to keep High Voltage grounded. Olivia in particular, was taking a heavy beating. She had to kick out after both a spinebuster and a vertical suplex from Mark, and Sophie was just as unforgiving, trying to get Olivia to submit to a Torture Rack and a Boston Crab. Still, High Voltage was certainly having their moments, particularly when Brooklyn launched herself with a suicide dive to take down both members of Total War on the outside, Olivia nearly pinning Sophie after a Tornado DDT and Brooklyn nearly pinning Mark with a springboard cross body. But, toward the end of the match, Total War wearing out Olivia took its toll as she was exhausted. Mark went for a powerslam, but Olivia countered by sliding out and nailing a backbreaker. Race to the corner time. Mark tagged in Sophie first. Sophie went to grab Olivia and she would, but a desperate lunge by Olivia got Brooklyn in there with Sophie at last and then things got heated. Brooklyn was on fire, wearing out Sophie, but Mark got involved to stymie the momentum. Olivia then flew off the top rope, nailing Mark with a missile dropkick to send him over and out of the ring. This enabled Brooklyn to nail Sophie with the Night Cap. Brooklyn got Sophie up for High Voltage to nail her with the “Grounded!” Brooklyn dropped down to make the cover and the fans exploded in cheers as she got the three count.]

WINNERS: High Voltage

STILL GCW North American Champion: Brooklyn Smith

[The fans continued to cheer as Olivia helped Brooklyn up and pulled her into a hug as the referee stepped in to hand Brooklyn the North American Championship. Mark groggily got up and wasted little time pulling Sophie out of the ring. The announcers talked about what High Voltage had to overcome in recent weeks at the hands of Total War and how once more, they reminded everyone why they’ve been one of the best tag teams in GCW over the last year. Brooklyn and Olivia celebrated in the ring with the crowd as Mark carried Sophie to the back.]

Voice: “My name is Isabella Harker, and I won the Civil War.

The scene opens up to show a still frame of Harker as she covers The Truth, securing the main event spot at this very show,

Harker: “No one thought I could get here. They all thought that I needed help to get by. They thought I needed to kiss the ass of a self-important authority figure to get any kind of opportunity. They thought, whether they admit to it or not, that I couldn’t do it on my own. And at Civil War, I proved them all WRONG!”

The scene shifts over to one of Harker holding the World Championship after pinning Christy Hightower in a six-person contest weeks ago.

Harker: “I have made proving people wrong a way of life. Tonight, I get a chance to prove them wrong again by becoming the GCW World Champion. And you had better believe that’s where my attention will be… no more games, just 100% Harker.”

The scene shifts…

[Janice King is backstage, dressed to perfection, as she stares into the camera.]

Janice: Ladies and gentleman, please welcome my guest at this time....Travis Vessey!

[Crowd cheers, though some boo as Travis walks into the screen, a small smirk on his face.]

Travis: Janice, my favorite person. Long time no see huh?

[Travis gives a sarcastic smile as Janice kinda plays along.]

Janice: Travis, tonight, you are going to be in a triple threat match against Nate Lawson and Dominic Bane and it's for the Television Championship. You and Bane have had a heated rivalry for the last few months. At the same time, you were perhaps moments away from winning the TV title from Nate Lawson before Bane interfered. Travis, you're no stranger to big matches. Tell us your thoughts going into tonight?

[Travis strokes his chin a bit.]

Travis: Janice, you and I have history. That's what makes these thing fun for everyone. But you know me almost better than anyone in this company so you have an idea of what's going through my head. Resurrection. Championship match. Travis Vessey. This is my third Resurrection. All three I've been in a title match. That's telling Janice. That tells you whenever I'm on this show, I'm in the money matches. Two years ago I made evented Night 1. I've tasted that moment before.

[Travis shrugs.]

Travis: I didn't win that match and I learned. These last six months have been a learning experience. From getting turned out, to this yapping mutt Bane coming after me thinking he can make a name off himself. I've been humbled for better or worse. Some people think I deserve it. That doesn't matter. What matters is this Janice. I'm one of the best wrestlers here in Global Championship Wrestling. I proved it in my first year where I won the International Championship twice and then the big one, the World Heavyweight Championship. I've proven it when i've faced all the best this company has to offer. Angelica Jones, Victoria Salinas, Kayla Jones, you name them, I've faced them. All before I turned 25. That gets to your head. it makes you take things for granted. And I did.

[Travis looks at Janice.]

Travis: In some ways, I kinda get where Bane is coming from. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing about him that I like. He thinks he's God's Gift to Wrestling with his third grade insults hurled at me. But I see where he's coming from. He wants to make a name for himself. Doing that got him here, in this match. He went out of his way to draw attention to himself. Bravo Bane, I hope you're happy. Here's the thing, you can draw as much attention to yourself. Good, you're an attention whore. That's what you crave. But as much as you call yourself an international superstar, you have never wrestled on a platform bigger than this. This is the biggest match of your life.

[Travis pauses.]

Travis: You screwed me when I had Nate Lawson beat. You cost me the Television Championship. You cost me payback on Christy Hightower. I told you that one day I would get my revenge. I told you one day that I would pay you back for everything you've tried. And well, tonight's your night. On the biggest stage, I'm going to remind you why they call me the Architect of Your Destruction.

[Crowd cheers.]

Travis: And Nate Lawson, we've gone down this road before. You're tough. You're a credible champion. But you're not better than me. Not on this night. I haven't had a singles title in two years. Everyday you hold that TV title, the more I want it to be mine. The more I want to take that TV title to bigger heights than you can take it. You've been a strong champion Nate. I won't take that away from you. No one can. None of these people will take that from you.

[Travis looks at Janice and smirks.]

Travis: But tonight, I'm going to walk out of this arena as the new Television Champion. ANd your tears Bane will be priceless. When you realize that you've been messing with the wrong people all this time, you'll get it. The blueprint to your destruction has been crafted long time ago. You can't run, you can't hide from it. And Nate Lawson? Your run with that title ends tonight. This is the end of the line for you. Janice, one way or another, Nate Lawson and Dominic Bane's dreams of having that Resurrection moment this year will ends up in flames....courtesy of the Architect of Your Destruction.

[Travis smiles at Janice.]

Travis: Thanks Janice.

[Travis waves at Janice before leaving. Janice looks on.


Karina Lysenko vs. Karen McBride

[When the bell rung, Karina exploded out of the gate wanting to dominate Karen McBride, but the more experienced wrestler got her in a sleeper hold and dragged her down with a bulldog, taking advantage of Karina’s temper. Karen initially focused on submissions in the early going, knowing that breaking down Karina in her state of anger was going to take her out of her game. As a result, Karina had to get out of an STF, a cobra clutch and a Cloverleaf in the early going. Karen tried pinning Karina after a German suplex that she held onto, but Karina managed to roll the shoulder out. Karen whipped Karina into the corner. Karen went for a corner splash, but Karina with a back elbow managed to block it. Karina then brought down Karen with a running cutter and that’s when the viciousness came out of her. All the rage was unleashed as Karina’s next move was to lift her up and slam her to the mat with a vertebreaker. It was nothing but pure force from Karina, as Karen became victims of moves such as a scoop slam, a springboard facebreaker, a running snapmare and a vicious snap suplex. Yet, when Karen kicked out of the latter two moves after she went for the pin, Karina got even MORE frustrated. Karen got up and Karina went for a lariat. Karen ducked it, spun her around, lifted her up and dropped her with the McBride’s Ride! That seemed to do it but… Karina kicked out!!! Karen was stunned by this as she got her up, looking for the End Game. Karina however, spun out of it and gave Karen a vicious boot to the gut. A Facebreaker Knee Smash followed and then Karina got her up and planted her in the center of the ring with the Ravishing Red Drop! The fans booed, knowing this was it, and it would be as Karina hooked the leg to score the winning pinfall!]

WINNER: Karina Lysenko

[Karina slowly stood up, with a look of joy on her face as she was ecstatic to have overcome Karen McBride. Karen slightly moved as she looked like she wanted to get up, but Karina wasn’t going to have it. Karina hoisted her on her shoulders and flattened her with… the McBride’s Ride!!! Karina looked down the ramp and summoned her new enforcer to the ring. Vlad wasted no time getting down the ramp and into the ring and Karina almost immediately ordered him to destroy her. He would, with a pumphandle slam! The fans booed this and the announcers condemned this action as being unnecessary, but Karina left the ring with Vlad, walking up the ramp, with a look of sick pleasure on her face loving the fact that she committed the ultimate insult to injury by nailing Karen with her own move after beating her. EMT’s quickly came to check on Karina as she backed up the ramp, laughing, with Vlad by her side. She eventually turned her back toward Karen and went through the curtains, putting her past behind her, as the announce team openly wondered if Karina was becoming a danger in her own right, with or without Ginger Nation.]

Back at Resurrection, Roderick Osborn is standing by for his next interview. However, before he can say anything, Mike Michaels walks onto the set.

Mike: Osborn.

Osborn: Er... yes?

Mike: The microphone. NOW.

Not wanting to start an argument, Roderick reluctantly hands the microphone over. Mike points to the side, and Roderick exits the area.

Mike: There we go. Ladies and Germs, allow yours truly to introduce the man who is going to defeat not one, but TWO wrestlers tonight, and lay claim to becoming the greatest GCW Television Champion of our existence! The one, the only... "The International Conqueror" Dominic Baine!

Dominic Baine walks onto the set, while Mike claps at his arrival.

Mike: Dominic, you look more than ready to claim a TV Title tonight!

Dominic: Thank you, Mike. And may I say that not only are you the best manager in the business, but you are also the best backstage interviewer of all time?

Mike: You're too kind, Dom... but let's talk about tonight. You gotta face two losers who couldn't make one brain cell combined! Knowing that you're certain to walk out with the victory, what's your gameplan for tonight?

Dominic: That's simple, Mike... kick Travis Vesseys sorry ass, then kick Nate Lawsons sorry ass. I don't need more of a gameplan than that. I hate them both, and I'm going to enjoy beating them senseless. I'm a man on a mission... and Lawson and Vessey? They're in the way of what I want. Sucks for them... too bad, so sad and all that.

Mike: You sound ready.

Dominic: Oh, I'm very much ready! See, those buffoons I'm facing, and the ones in the cheap seats, they don't really get how much winning that TV Title means to me. I'm going to use every trick in the book to ensure victory. Legal, illegal, it doesn't matter... all that matters is coming out with that belt strapped around my waist. Slapping around Vessey and Lawson? Heh, that's just a nice bonus!

Mike: Some would say *Snickers* that you're underestimating them both... *Breaks out in laughter* Sorry, it's just the thought that anyone believes Lawson and Vessey can compare to you cracks me up.

Dominic: *Grins* It's okay, Mike... I find the thought rather funny myself. I mean, let's face it... ever since I arrived, I've been making Vessey look like a complete fool. So I don't see how anyone thinks he's going to be able to win! Then there's Lawson... let's not forget the fact that last time we faced, I was close to taking the belt off him. I would have, too, if not for that idiot Vessey. So I've proven myself better than the pair of them. Hell, they'll be kicking each others ass as much as they'll try, and fail, to kick mine! I got this match in the bag, and deep down, everyone... including Vessey and Lawson, know it!

Mike: You've won titles all around the globe, how much would winning the Television Title mean to you?

Dominic: Everything. I freely admit, my career overseas has been great, hence the 'International Conqueror' tag. But here? Here in the states, I never had much success... I had to go away to reinvent myself. Now that I'm back, that TV Title is going to be the first step in proclaiming myself the greatest wrestler in the world. First the TV Title, then the World or Global Title, or both... I plan on winning both eventually. GCW is the cream of the crop, and I aim to be the king of the mountain here! Tonight is just the beginning... the beginning of the Era of Baine!

Mike: Any final comments, Dom?

Dominic: Only this... Lawson, Vessey. You have both been thorns i my ass for quite a while now. Tonight, I pluck those thorns and I become the GCW Television Champion. Resurrection is my night... and you two? Heh, you're shit outta luck!

Dominic leaves, and Mike turns to the camera.

Mike: Back to you jabronis!

Mike trails after Dominic, as we head to ringside.

(Sister and brother are alone together, give or take a cameraman. The elder half-sibling leans back in her seat, feet up on a table, and though her focus is on her younger brother, she can't stop playing with a brand new band on her left ring finger. Her brother sits straighter and with a title draped across his lap, the faceplate turned towards him.

Laurel Anne Hardy scans Matty Graves' pensive face, and she asks gently:)

Laurel: How you feel right now?

(Matty doesn't answer immediately. He stares at his GCW World Tag Team Championship.)

Matty: Um. Bit unreal, y'know? This is my first ever title. You know how long I've been doin' this, how I always used to choke whenever I got going anywhere. I mean... you were there. You've seen all the failures up close. Now I'm at Resurrection, in one of the feature matches no less, defendin' it against the most dominant team of the last year, an' two of the biggest stars in GCW history. I... you know, there were definitely times I never thought I'd be here.

Laurel: Honestly? There were times I never thought you'd be here either. But you proved me wrong.

Matty: I proved us both wrong.

(There's a slight pause. Any longer and it would have become awkward.)

Laurel: Listen, I know we've had our differences in the last few months, but I just want you to know... seein' you here, a champion, in one of the top matches at the biggest show of the year... I'm proud of you.

(Matty nods then looks up into her eyes. He returns her warm smile.)

Matty: This is my first ever Resurrection, too. An' even if it's my last one-

Laurel: It ain't, Matty. This is the first of many moments like this for you.

Matty: No, don't just say things like that 'cause you have to.

Laurel: I'm not. You've learned so much, you've worked so hard, you're so brave - I've never, ever seen you back down even when you prob'ly should've... you're one of the bravest people I know. You earned this, Matty. You paid for this with your body an' your soul. You deserve to be here. An' now that you know you can get here, you'll keep on, because that's what you do. You always tell me you ain't a natural at this but lemme tell ya, you got a fighter's heart.

Matty: Thanks, Laurel. It... it means a lot. I'm serious, though, even if I never get to the top, at least I'll always be able to say I touched it.

Laurel: Yeah. A night like tonight is one of those special moments that stays with you. An' listen, MSG's got its rep as one of the greatest venues in the world for a reason. It's a hell of a feeling to wrestle a big match here. I'm jealous, truth be told. I wish my first night like this had been in a venue like this.

(Matty laughs for a moment.)

Laurel: No, see, there's something I'll never know that you will. Somethin' you'll do that I won't.

(He shakes his head in mirth at Laurel being a dork. After they fall silent again, he points to her ring.)

Matty: And congratulations again.

Laurel: Thanks. Heh, talkin' about things that feel unreal. The entire last two days've just been... impossible to take in yet. It's so weird that I'm actually in a Hall of Fame. It ain't settled yet. 27. God. Ask me again in a couple weeks...

Matty: You'll prolly've forgot you even got inducted by then.

Laurel: Cheeky blighter!

Matty: Hey! Laurel, uh, listen... you're about as brave, an' as much of a fighter, an' as bloody stupid as I am. I wouldn't be here without you - I mean, obviously, cause of the... Treats thing - but as inspiration. You trained me, you guided me, you had my back... it's a hard thing to admit, but you ought to feel proud. I owe a lot of the fact I'm here to you. And I know how hard you've worked too. I know better than anyone else in the world the sacrifices you've made. You deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.

Laurel: Wow. Um, thank you.

(They stare into each other's eyes again, the smiles having faded to more enigmatic expressions. After a few seconds, Laurel is the one who breaks the spell by nodding and speaking.)

Laurel: Now tonight's your first step on gettin' one of these of your own, you know.

Matty: Heh. We'll see.

(Laurel starts to say something, then catches herself and tries again.)

Laurel: May I offer you some advice?

(Matty raises an eyebrow - it's not like his sister to ask permission before giving her opinion.)

Matty: Um. Sure.

Laurel: Okay. Listen, I've known The Sisterhood a long time, an' I know you an' them've been workin' together against #GingerNation, but Matty - they ain't your friends. They didn't get to be where they are by bein' short on ambition. Don't turn your back on' em.

(Matty stiffens up in instinctive affront, and gets ready to complain about her treating him like a child - but then he composes himself and nods.)

Matty: I know, Laurel. Me an' Darian are goin' out to end #GingerNation but we're also out to win. Trust me, I know what Angelica an' Kayla are capable of. I've felt it first hand. All that stuff I was sayin' about bein' here; like you said yourself, this doesn't mean I rest now. I just dig in even harder.

Laurel: Spoken like a true Guerra.

(They bump fists, and a moment later they're hugging.)

Laurel: Kick some arse.

Matty: You got it.

(They break the embrace apart as the scene mixes out.)


Kordy and Cassidy Haze vs. Loretta Inglewood and Summer Newman


[Kordy and Cassidy were looking to get their revenge for the assault that they went through at the hands of Pure Class. Kordy and Loretta started the match and of course, Kordy came dashing out of the box trying to spear Loretta to enact some heavy violence. Loretta dodged the spear and when Kordy stumbled back to Loretta, she grabbed her from behind and nailed a Northern lights into a pin that Kordy kicked out of. Loretta then went on pure technical wrestling alone and simply dominated Kordy as she was heavily outmatched. After Loretta kept dropping Kordy with moves like a swinging neckbreaker and a double arm DDT, Loretta covered but Cassidy made the save. Cassidy didn’t fare too much better when she got into the match, mostly taking on Summer Newman. Cassidy went for a vicious superkick to try to concuss Summer, but Summer dodged it and put on a wrestling clinic of her own. Cassidy just had no answer for moves like a snap suplex and a tornado double knee backbreaker. The only times Cassidy and Kordy were able to have any sort of upper hand were by ways of a cheap double team and they seemed to have Loretta pinned after a double powerbomb before Summer swooped in to make the save. At the end of the match, Kordy and Summer were the two legal wrestlers in the ring. Kordy would go for a buzzsaw kick, but Summer countered by trapping her with the Million Dollar Dream in the center of the ring. Cassidy tried to interfere, but Loretta ran in and trapped her with the Chastity Belt nearby. With no recourse for escape, and with her partner tied up by Loretta, Kordy, one last time… had no choice but to tap, tap, tap… again…]

WINNERS: Pure Class (Loretta Inglewood and Summer Collins)

[In order to live up to their moniker, Loretta and Summer immediately broke the holds to have their hand raised by the referee as the fans booed them. The announcers talked about how they dominated most of the match and they admitted that they were impressed that they did so without any sort of cheap tricks or dirty tactics. The two looked down on Cassidy and Kordy, smirking before leaving the ring without doing any more damage. However, they were blindsided from behind by Steve and Derek Powers. Steve and Derek pounced on them and started stomping away at them, taking each woman down with a double DDT. Aubrianna Powers joined them not long afterwards. Aubrianna nailed Cassidy with The Powers That Be and Cassidy rolled out of the ring. Kordy however, wasn’t as fortunate. All three Powers lifted her up and flattened her in the center of the ring with a triple powerbomb! Aubrianna then locked in The Ties That Bind on an unconscious Kordy who was obviously unresponsive. Only Derek and Steve prying her off of Kordy would stop Aubrianna’s submission. The Powers trio stood over the unconscious Kordy as the crowd booed them, enabling the broadcast team to wonder if they just sent a message to GCW just like Pure Class had done moments prior.]


[Resurrection fades backstage where GCW World Champion Victoria Salinas is sitting on a crate, taking a bit of a break as she has just arrived at Madison Square Garden for the final night of Resurrection weekend. She’s a bit deep in her reflections, knowing how hard she’s worked for as long as she has just to even get to this point. But, her reflections are briefly interrupted by the presence of GCW interviewer Janice King. Victoria looks at her and she doesn’t appear to mind her presence.]

Janice: Hey Victoria.

Victoria: Hey.

Janice: Mind if we have a quick interview?

Victoria: I just got here, but I don’t mind. I figured I wouldn’t mind being thrown into the fire. I mean, that’s how it was when I first got here right?

[Victoria slides off the crate and meets Janice in the eye as she raises her microphone to start the interview.]

Janice: I was actually about to ask you a question related to that. There’s no need to really go deep into it, but when you first came here, you quickly became one of the most unbearable people in GCW. You were in the main event of Resurrection two years ago and you came away with the World Championship in a hell of a main event. It was definitely a vainglorious moment for you.

Victoria: You can say that, but in hindsight, I would definitely say that Resurrection two years ago was essentially the beginning of the end for “vainglorious” considering the chaotic mess my previous title reign became. I had to claw my way back and it took longer than I hoped or wanted, but the wait has been worth it. I can definitely say that so far, I’ve had the title reign that I vowed for so long I would give GCW and its fans when I talked about being the world champion again. Sure, my first defense was a double countout hiccup against Julia Braddock, but ever since I retained against her at Civil War, it’s been as good as it can be. Now? I’m back at Resurrection, defending this championship, with just one thing left to do…

Janice: You’ve already accomplished that by being back in the main event of Resurrection as the World Champion.

Victoria: But at the end of the night, I want to STILL be GCW World Champion. That’s my one thing left to do. Isabella Harker is going to be one of the biggest challenges I’ve ever had in my career and for sure the biggest challenge that I’ve ever had in my second reign as champion. She’s been upstaging me these last two Shotguns, I’ll give her that. I’m a goal setter, Janice. If I don’t win tonight, I’ve failed to realize my goal for this title reign. You know how much this all means to me, you know how hard I had to push to get to this level again.

Janice: No question about that! You went through the likes of Executive Order, Tina Valentine, Travis Vessey, Kayla Jones, Chantelle Chambers and Julia Braddock to be here tonight.

Victoria: Isabella talks about going through Camelot and with her ordeals with a since-deposed GM, and you know, she just might be right about the fact that I’ve had it easier than her coming in. But, let me ask you this, Janice. What if she was in my spot? What if it was HARKER winning the TV title, Civil War and the World Championship in her first four months? Would she have been able to handle the pressure? Would she have been able to live up to the hype? Or would the hype have broken her down? Before she won Civil War, she had quite a few opportunities to make the next step up and for some reason or another, she couldn’t do it. We’re talking about the girl that used to say “if I win this” and “Maybe that”. She’s developed her confidence since then with the roll she’s been on since Survival of the Fittest, but sometimes that confidence can grow into ego and last week on Shotgun, that’s exactly what happened.

Janice: So are you saying that Isabella Harker is an enemy that you don’t trust anymore? Does this mean that you don’t see her the same?

Victoria: Oh no. My feelings for Isabella as a friend are never going to change regardless of what happens tonight. But the bottom line is, her confidence has grown so big not just with the wins over former world champions like Julia and Chantelle, but with the way she’s been able to upstage me the last few weeks. In her mind, whether she’ll admit it or not, she thinks she’s got this won tonight and I can’t fault her for that. But, pride goes before the fall, something I know ALL about. She’s upstaged me recently, but does she have it in her to upstage me where it counts? She’s been waiting so long for this moment and I know how it feels. But to answer my own question, I’m not sure if she would have been able to handle that pressure. Tonight we’re going to know for sure if she can handle the main event spotlight. I know I can! I’ve done this before! And I have every ounce and belief in my ability, based on my journey over the last two years and all I’ve had to overcome in that timespan, that tonight? I’m going to do it one more time on the biggest stage under the brightest lights and leave Madison Square Garden as the GCW World Heavyweight Champion!

[The crowd erupts with a hell of a cheer as Victoria smiles with confidence.]

Victoria: Thanks Janice!

[Beaming with confidence, Victoria grabs her bags and continues to head down the hallway to take in all the sights and sounds of Resurrection’s third night. With that, the interview comes to an end.]

[Allison Mayberry is shown in her office with an enclosed black bag in front of her]

Allison Mayberry: We are moments away from our GCW Television Championship match. And now that I know for sure I won't be interrupted by anyone disrespectful again, I can finally make the long awaited announcement that I was hoping to do at the start of the show. So, here's the announcement. You three came here tonight expecting to compete for the Television Championship. And hey, you guys are getting your title match in a few moments. However, there has been a change of plans, something that is really going to define what history is all about. As far as this match goes, you three are NOT competing for the GCW Television Championship!

[Some of the fans boo, thinking they're getting robbed of a title match]

Allison: In fact... the championship you guys are competing for tonight is no longer the GCW Television Championship.

[Allison pauses as she begins to open the black bag in front of her.]

Allison: From this moment forward, we begin a new era in GCW! We begin to build a brand new tradition with what was formerly known as the Television Championship. From now on, the championship will define the heritage of this very business, the one that our stars in GCW re-invent every given night. You three are about to put the finishing touches to one heritage... AND you're about to begin ANOTHER...

[With the black bag open, Allison pulls out what is revealed to be a brand new championship, which causes the crowd to cheer.]

Allison: Gentlemen... introducing the brand new GCW HERITAGE Championship! The winner of this match will be the one that says that they christened a brand new heritage in GCW lore as they walk away with the title! May the best man win, and good luck!

[Allison turns and walks back through the curtains as a staff member comes in to take the championship from Allison and take it to the ring as the scene fades.]

Nate Lawson can be seen backstage, a GCW worker having just taken the Television Championship belt from his possession with the announcement of the retirement of said Championship and the institution of the GCW Heritage Championship in it’s stead. At his side is Kacy Oliver…

Oliver: “So that’s it?”

Lawson: “Seems like it… the Television Championship is no more. The Heritage Championship is on the line. No Champion going in, and if I want it, I have to beat Dominic Baine and Travis Vessey.”

Oliver: “And Mike Michaels.”

Lawson chuckles.

Lawson: “The advantage of having Michaels at ringside may work in a singles match, but in a triple threat, I’m not as concerned.”

Oliver: “You know you only need to say the word and he’ll be nursing a broken jaw, right?”

Lawson: “I do, and I appreciate the support, Kac… I really do. But I’m not concerned about him. Tonight is different… it’s a three-way.”

Oliver: “Meaning you could walk out empty handed without eating the fall. What then?”

Lawson: “Then, whoever wins the Championship had better pray I’m not in a foul mood when we cross paths. But now’s not the time to worry about that. Now’s the time to focus on this match… one moment at a time. I can’t get muddied up in history or the fact that both of these men have made it a point to get involved in each other’s matches with me. Tonight I have to go out and execute the game plan. And that’s exactly my intent…”

The scene shifts.



GCW Heritage Championship
Nate Lawson (champion) vs. Travis Vessey vs. Dominic Baine


[The second championship match, with the implication that was just announced, brought the best out of these three men. Of course, at the start of the proceedings, Vessey and Baine attacked each other. Lawson watched for a bit before he joined Vessey to double team Baine. Baine took a double suplex and a double DDT before Mike Michaels wisely pulled him out of the ring. This left Lawson and Vessey to battle things out. Things were evened up, before Vessey came back with a belly to belly suplex to take control. Vessey would rely on his power game for a but, culminating with a butterfly suplex! Vessey went for a cover, but Baine broke in to break it up. Baine stomped on Vessey for a bit before he got up and started using his all around ability to take control of the match. Baine relied on some small submissions for a bit, before he really decided to break down Travis. Baine’s rallying assault culminated when he placed Vessey on the top rope and then grabbed him and delivered a running powerbomb! Baine decided to go for a cover on Vessey, but Lawson dove in to break it up. Lawson and Baine were the next ones to duel for a few minutes, but while Baine was technically sound in his own right, Lawson proved how much he mastered his craft, as Baine was broken down by submissions including a cobra clutch and a camel clutch. Lawson would eventually lift up Baine and drop him with a piledriver! The fans cheered this as Lawson would go for a cover, but Travis would break things up this time. Travis fought Lawson for a bit, but Baine recovered and Lawson and Baine now had a two on one on Vessey. Lawson would nail Vessey with a cradle suplex and go for the pin, but Baine broke it up and once again, it was Lawson and Baine going at it for a few until Vessey recovered. In an odd twist of fate, Vessey actually helped Baine, even connecting with a double flapjack on the Television Champion. Baine hit the Jarring Halt on Lawson, going for the cover, but Vessey broke things up and it was right back to the two arch rivals going at it. Baine tried to go for the Jarring Halt on Vessey, but Vessey blocked it and delivered the Deadlift German Suplex! Cover by Vessey! Broken up by Lawson. After a couple of more minutes, spear out of nowhere by Lawson to Vessey!!! Another cover, but Vessey kicked out. Baine rushed back in the swing of things and would pay for it when Lawson trapped him in the ELITE GOGOPLATA! Right in the center of the ring, Baine was inches away from tapping out and just when it seemed like he was going to, Vessey swooped in to break up the submission. Vessey began to dominate Lawson. A powerslam was followed up by the VESSEY SAULT! Vessey got up, lifting Lawson up to a vertical base. Vessey picked up Lawson and… VESSEY DRIVER! Lawson was completely knocked out, but Baine came out of nowhere when he lifted up Vessey from behind and nailed the INTERNATIONAL TREATY!!!! Baine made the cover and the fans became irate when the referee got to three!]

WINNER (and NEW GCW Heritage Champion): Dominic Baine

[Mike Michaels immediately slid into the ring to celebrate with his client. Baine wasted no time celebrating as the referee handed him the brand new GCW Heritage Championship. The announcers talked about how Baine was an opportunist at the end, but that at the end of the day, he managed to come away with the GCW Heritage championship at Resurrection, something that nobody was ever going to take away from him. Nate Lawson had a long, empty look on his face as he lied on the barricade, watching Baine celebrate with the new Heritage championship! Baine pressed a boot on Vessey’s chest and raised the title over his head, adding one last insult to injury to Travis Vessey while Mike Michaels stood by him, applauding his new Heritage champion!]

Katherine Prescott is in her locker-room, looking to be in intense thought... though who could blame her? The stakes for her upcoming match with Jason Redfield would weigh heavily on the mind of anyone in the same position. Suddenly, she's interrupted by the arrival of one Janice King.

Janice: Sorry for interrupting, Katherine... I know tonights a major night for you.

Katherine: It's okay, Janice. I assume you want an interview?

Janice: If it's not too much trouble.

Katherine: Not at all. Fire away!

Janice: Let's get right to it. Tonight, you and Jason Redfield... career versus career. How have you prepared for something with these high stakes?

Katherine: You know, I could say I've done more of this or more of that... but the truth is, I've prepared for this match the same way I've prepared for every single match of mine. There's not really anything I've changed, even with the added stipulation. I'm just going in as I've always done, and that's that. Besides, there's one thing I wouldn't change that gives me strength to do the impossible... you know what that is?

Janice: What?

Katherine: The fans. Their energy gives me the boost I need when things are tough, when it looks hopeless and I seem finished in a match... tonight, more than ever, I'm going to need that energy to win.

Janice: Career versus Career... you two have been going at it for months, but now it ends. Have you thought about what happens if you're on the losing end?

Katherine sighs heavily.

Katherine: Yeah... yeah, I have. At first, when I accepted, I just wanted to rid GCW of Jason Redfield. Now I've started to really understand exactly what I got myself into. It's... daunting, i all I can think to describe it. But I have to win... I won't say wrestling is all I have, I have a few business ventures outside... but wrestling is what I've come to love most. I can't let Jason take that away from me.

Janice: Jason Redfield feels he still has plenty in the tank, and will do everything he can to win... are you prepared for what will surely be the fight of your career?

Katherine: I hope so. I won't take anything away from jason... he's a legend, one of the best of all-time. Beating him will not be easy. I have to, though... I have to have the mindset that I will not lose to him. Otherwise... I'm done. I'm not ready to ride into the sunset, however, I will give Jason every ounce of my being in order to win. He will have to kill me to stop me, and regardless, he will be in for the fight of his life. I will give him no less than my very best.

Janice: Any final comments?

Katherine: I don't think there's much left to say really. I'll do what I'll do, Jason will do what he does... one of us will win, and one of us will be finished with wrestling. All I can do is give it my best shot, and see where the chips fall. Hopefully, they'll fall in my favor.

Janice: Thank you for your time, Katherine.

Katherine: No problem, Janice.

[Clarissa Vega is seen walking down the hallway with confidence as she doesn’t appear to be bothered by much. But suddenly, she pauses her walk and playfully rolls her eyes with a smile as she talks to someone outside of camera view.]

Clarissa: Okay, I know you’re one of the most beautiful people in GCW and all, but come on! On Resurrection night, you want to upstage me? It’s a conspiracy!

[The scene pans revealing the presence of Jazmyn Rain wearing a pink, velvet dress going down to the knees. With the heels to match and a pink hairband keeping her long, brunette hair in place, GCW’s Guardian Angel has a laugh and a smile as the fans deafeningly cheer her presence.]

Jazmyn: Yeah, some conspiracy right? We’re in New York, I figured I’d be dressed for the occasion. But you know what’s NOT going to be a conspiracy tonight? The demise of Utopia, that’s what!

[The crowd greatly cheers this.]

Clarissa: Oh you are so right about that. You saw Night One right? When I had my little chat with Myra?

Jazmyn: Yes, something about a secret that not even she is aware of.

Clarissa: Something like that…

Jazmyn: And you’re going to tell me this secret? I already know what Myra’s fatal flaw is and I’m going to expose it tonight when Utopia ceases to exist.

Clarissa: Oh you bet your ass I’m going to tell you this secret. But first, from me to you, there’s something I want to say. I know that even now, as far as you’ve come, last year’s Resurrection still makes you twinge in pain on occasion. Now, don’t be so down about it anymore. Remember when you had the choice to join it before last year’s event and we all know what happened? Well, from me to you… you made the right decision. Despite the outcome for you, it WAS the right decision because if you never made that decision, you would have never discovered your true potential deep inside your heart… that very same potential that has manifested itself in a highly positive way as the Guardian Angel!

Jazmyn: I’m… very happy to hear that. That’s a decision I would make all over again if I had to.

Clarissa: I’m glad. And again, I’m sorry for anything I’ve ever done that’s ever hurt you in any way.

Jazmyn: Water under the bridge!

Clarissa: Right… anyway… the “big secret”... the one that not even Myra Lynwood herself knows about because she’s in such denial. Bear with me here, because you are going to find this extremely hard to believe. This involves Myra and how she really feels about you because I know it’s something that’s burdened you for so long. The truth is… she may not show it and she may not even know it, but deep down inside her black heart… she DOES care about you.

Jazmyn: Pardon? I don’t think I heard you right. She… CARES about ME?

Clarissa: Jaz, when you were in the hospital following your cardiac arrest, Myra wouldn’t stop telling me how worried she was about you. She even told me that she was afraid she was responsible. Myra may have wanted to hurt you, but she never wanted to KILL you. It’s like I told Myra… no matter what she’s said and done, she can’t get rid of you and she can’t get rid of you because she’s not trying hard enough. And the reason for that? She doesn’t WANT to get rid of you. She doesn’t have it in her to do it. Somewhere in there, she loves you and cares for you and that’s why she can’t destroy you.

[Jazmyn stands there, thinking about the big secret she’s being told.]

Clarissa: I would never try to be friends with her again though, not after everything. But think about it… she didn’t want you to die. She wanted you to beat Sophie at Civil War. She told off Utopia and told them to leave you alone while you were feuding with Sophie, and recently, when Adrian called you a psychopath like he’s done like a broken record, Myra told him to come off it. When you confronted her after Deadly Dreams and she looked like she just lost someone special, that reaction was real! She’ll always be too prideful to admit it, but she could never destroy someone she deeply cares about. Love, Jaz… love is the reason why she can’t get rid of you no matter what she says or does.

Jazmyn: It makes sense and really, to know all that? It brings me so much inner peace. But what does this have to do with tonight?

Clarissa: You go in there, knowing that nothing she says or does will ever break you, and there’s no way you go in there like you did at Resurrection last year being frightened and lacking confidence. You go in there tonight, you bring Utopia to justice for everything that they’ve ever done to you and to GCW and you create a Resurrection moment you’ve yet to have. You go in there knowing Myra can’t touch you and everything she’s ever put you through over the last quarter century suddenly seems so easy to move past.

Jazmyn: You’re damn right Clarissa, on all of it. But as I’ve said before, this isn’t just about Myra and I. Our saga is merely a subplot toward the big picture with GCW and Utopia. I will have my day with her one on one where I fully bring it full circle and tonight can be seen as a chapter toward when that day comes, but GCW right now, is what’s the most important thing to me. After everything this company has done for me, there’s little more I can do to pay them back then lead my team to a victory in the final battle that will conquer Utopia once and for all. Tonight? It’s Waterloo for all four of them! Thanks Clarissa, I’ll certainly use what you just told me to the best of my ability… for GCW’s sake!

[Jazmyn and Clarissa give each other a hug before Jazmyn turns around and heads down the hallway to think about the huge four on four elimination match ahead as the scene comes to a close.]

[The scene opens backstage with BROOKFORD and Ian McKinnon standing next to each other. BROOKFORD: has his arms crossed. Ian looks chill and relaxed. Brittany Kayl is standing next to Ian with mic in hand. Before she can speak, Ian takes the lead.]

McKinnon: What’s going on Brittany? You look... different. Decided to go old school I take it?


Brittany: That I did.


McKinnon: O.G Brittany Kayl suits you. Chelsea can scream ratings all she wants. You, Britt, will always be a bigger attraction than Ms. Wanna Be Ratings grabber ever will be.


Brittany: Why thank you. I--


[BROOKFORD clears his throat.]


BROOKFORD: A-hem. Done flirting?


[Ian smirks.]

McKinnon: I wasn’t flirting, Nate.


BROOKFORD: Coulda fooled me.


McKinnon: Can’t a man and a woman have a nice friendly chat without their being an assumption of flirting?


Brittany: Guys. Focus.

[Ian pats his tag team partner on the shoulder. He returns his attention to Brittany Kayl.]


McKinnon: Forgive my partner. Case you haven’t noticed, he can be a tad too serious, at times. Go ahead. Ask your question.


Brittany: Last week was an up and down night for you two, along with Jazmyn and Axl. Your friend Nate and Jazmyn/Axl won their matches but all four of you weren’t in good shape when Utopia left the four of you laying. How are you two in particular?

[Ian sighs.]


McKinnon: I said this to Nate already. I’ll tell you what I told him. I made a mistake. Its easy in highlight to say I made a mistake, by the way Shotgun ended for us, would I do things differently? Yes. I probably would. I lost sight of the fact we’re at war. I should have allowed Nate to injury Chelsea beyond recognition. If Nate did what he wished to do, the beating we all suffered would not have happened. And for that, I’m sorry. I am the one who asked Nate to show mercy. I am the one who wanted to show them we are better the Utopia's by any means necessary mantra. In return, me deciding to give Andrea the benefit of the doubt cost me.

She can tell me and the world she’s sorry all she wants to, it doesn’t change the fact she is on their team. I am aware that Myra holds something over Chelsea. And if Andrea doesn’t comply, Chelsea suffers. That’s a tough spot to be in. I won’t discount that. Your integrity has to matter at some point, right? You've seen it, Andrea has sold her integrity down the toilet for how many months now? Exactly. Last week she proved what type of person she is. Is there hope for her? Maybe. Maybe not. Tonight, she is the enemy, plain and simple, I don’t care what she regrets. I don’t care what she is sorry for.



[Ian points at the camera.]

McKinnon: Andrea. Myra. Adrian. Chelsea... you have failed Global Championship Wrestling. Tonight... you will be brought to justice.

[Brittany Kayl holds the mic so Nate can speak into.]

BROOKFORD: ADRI-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

[BROOKFORD sneers into the camera.]

BROOKFORD: Tonight is judgement day for the UTOPIA. There is a reason why Trenton chose you he formed best for business. You would do in and everything in your power to belong, so you did everything Trenton wanted you to do. You did it good. Then one day Myra came along, lifted her skirt up, you fell in lust. Finally, Adrian found someone as manipulative, cunning, and miserable inside as himself. Trenton predicted this day would come. That one day, when given the choice, you would be the judas in our ranks. Thank GOD he ended Best for Business before you could betray one of us at that moment in time. Took you long enough, Trenton was right. You... betrayed me.

Ask yourself Adrian, did Myra take my feelings and our friendship into account when she hatched her plan to get inside Tim’s head? Because if she did care about my feelings and our friendship, she would not had put you in the position to answer for your crimes! You let Myra come between us. You let Myra destroy Best for Business. The only thing Myra gives a crap about is herself. She wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire. She’d find another toy to play with. Cause tonight, she will find another toy to play with when cripple your ass.

[BROOKFORD licks his lips.]

BROOKFORD: Myra. You’re going to pay for screwing up my friendship to Adrian. Andrea, I have no sympathy for you. Last week I should have choked you out too when you tossed the towel in. Your excuses don't fly. You’re part of the problem. And Chelsea. Next time I choke you out, I won’t let go. I will get an emotional release feeling your body go limp!

U-TOPIA...the problem you caused will be solved. Choke on that!

[BROOKFORD chuckles. Him and Ian fist bump. The scene leaves with them walking off camera.]


Career vs. Career: Katherine Prescott vs. Jason Redfield


[With everything on the line and all the history that has built up between them, this was as personal as it could be and as soon as that bell rang, the fists were flying as the two got locked into a brawl that eventually led to the two of them beating up each other in opposite corners, the referee having to separate them both times. After the second time, they brawled in the center of the ring again, before Redfield stomped on the foot of Katherine for a cheap shot and then grabbed her and brought her down with a snap suplex. Redfield would go for the first cover of the match after that, but Katherine would kick out. Still, this didn’t stop Redfield from being in control. Redfield would apply a sleeper hold, then transition to a torture rack, before bringing her down with a Samoan drop. Redfield would rely on a power based attack and it seemed to be working. Katherine didn’t seem to have an answer at all for a pumphandle slam as Redfield went for a cover after that, but Katherine still kicked out. Redfield picked her up and wanted to go for a running powerslam, but Katherine was able to slip out. Redfield turned around and Katherine nailed her with a Pele kick square in the jaw to knock him down and gain control for herself. Katherine was a speeding bullet that Redfield just couldn’t keep up with. Redfield would be on the receiving ends of moves like a tilt-o-whirl headscissors as well as a handspring corner elbow and a flipping top rope senton that resulted in her first cover, but Redfield kicked out at two. Katherine focused on submissions for a bit, but a Boston Crab and a Texas Cloverleaf wasn’t enough to get Redfield to tap out. After the rope break following the latter, Katherine stepped back. Redfield used the ropes to get up. Redfield turned and staggered toward Katherine who went for the KDS but Redfield dodged it! Katherine turned around… SIX SHOOTER! The huge spear from Redfield silenced the crowd, but Redfield wasn’t done yet. He picked her up and nailed her with the Last Heist. Redfield covered but Katherine kicked out!!! Redfield was stunned, but not for long as he got her up. He was setting up for the Sinner’s Requiem, but Katherine with a knee to the gut caused him to stagger back a bit. Katherine went for the KDS again, but this time she got it!!! Katherine then got Redfield up and then kicked him in the gut and nailed him with the Katherine’s Pride!!!! Katherine went for a cover, but Redfield kicked out much to the dismay of the fans. Katherine wasn’t thrilled as she went to the top rope. Starfall Press…. BLOCKED!!!!! Both wrestlers stayed down for a bit as the referee made a 10 count. Both were up at 7. There was a small brawl before Redfield elbowed her in the head to regain control. Redfield then dragged Katherine to the corner and headbutted her. Then he followed up with a second, and a third and a FOURTH headbutt. A running knee to the skull followed and the referee checked on Katherine. While this was happening, Redfield removed a turnbuckle pad. He picked up Katherine and dragged her to that corner, then constantly bashed Katherine’s head into the exposed steel while blocking the referee’s view. A Russian legsweep into the exposed steel left a gash on Katherine’s forehead busting her wide open as she fell to the mat. Not wanting to mess around, Redfield grabbed her, got her up and… SINNER’S REQUIEM!!!! The fans fell stunned silent as a gleeful Redfield dragged her to the center of the ring to hook the leg for the cover… BUT KATHERINE KICKED OUT!!!!! Redfield was STUNNED that this happened as he slowly walked toward his corner, crouching there as Katherine slowly got up. Katherine wavered a bit before staying upright and then Sinner ran at her and went for another Six Shooter… MISSED! Katherine dodged it.Redfield stumbled back toward Katherine, holding his shoulder. Katherine then turned him around, hooked the arms… Katherine’s Pride again!!!! But, rather than go for the cover, Katherine bolted toward the corner and got to the top rope… STARFALL PRESS!!!!! The crowd exploded out of their seats as Katherine hooked the leg and made the cover…. And GOT THE THREE COUNT FOR THE WIN!]

WINNER: Katherine Prescott (Jason Redfield’s career is now over!!!)

[Katherine celebrates her win for a little... then takes one last look at the defeated Jason Redfield and heads to the back. A few moments later, Jason comes to... and quickly comes to the realization that he lost. It was over. Katherine won. Now... his career was over. Jason gets to his feet, still groggy, but denying any help from the referee. He looks around, expecting jeers and chants of 'NA NA NA NA' from the crowd. Instead, he gets...

Applause.

No matter what he's done lately, the fans still appreciate and respect his career. They give him a standing ovation, allowing him one final moment. He looks almost in tears, but instead, he raises an arm in salute, drawing more cheers. He exits the ring and walks halfway up the ramp... turning back to give the ring one final look... before making his final exit.]

[Resurrection fades inside of the locker room and Myra Lynwood is seen. Her presence draws some massive boos from the fans. The Utopia leader in spite of recent events has a confident smile on her face as she looks at Adrian Waters, Andrea Hernandez and Chelsea Summers sit nearby.]

Myra: Tonight is the night…

[Myra pauses to smirk for a bit before she continues.

Myra: Tonight is the night that Utopia cements its dominance as THE premier unit not just in GCW, but in ALL of professional wrestling! We’ve all been successful in our own ways! We’ve ALL been champions at one point or another during this amazing run! And let me just say that I am grateful for the positive efforts of every single person that has ever been involved with the Utopia mission of murdering and destroying wrestling tradition. And no, Tina Valentine doesn’t count because she did absolutely fucking nothing for us. Anyway, we face a formidable force tonight… but so many people have gone up against us and failed… even JAZMYN RAIN HERSELF has failed against us. Tonight, history repeats itself as she along with her three useless friends fail GCW… you know, like how we’ve been accused of doing?

Adrian: It’s all a bunch of crap, love! You know that! If anything, we’ve been doing GCW a favor. We saved the Global Championship from the ridiculousness traditional views of Tim Myers! We ended the most dreary, dry tag team title run GCW will ever have when Andrea and Chelsea dethroned High Voltage and made the Livewire tag team division exciting again with the death of that tradition! And now you have a whole force lining up against us, trying to bring us down? Please! There are no such thing as heroes in this business! Period!

Myra: Very strong points, Adrian. Now, I know we’ve had some bumps and bruises over the year or so that we’ve been together, but I just wanted to say before we go out there and establish our permanent dominance that in one way or another, I’ve always appreciated every single one of you.

[Andrea is seen rolling her eyes, though Myra doesn’t catch her.]

Myra: Adrian, I can go on all night about you…

Adrian: Heh… I can go on all night WITH YOU if you know what I mean!

Myra: HEY! That’s for after this show, alright? But still, you have been the rock that has truly kept it all together! You’ve been there for me every time I’ve come close to giving up on this mission. You’ve been there for all of my highs and all of my lows so I thank you for that and I want you to know that I will never forget it. Chelsea?

Chelsea: Yeah?

Myra: Look, I know that things between you and I soured recently for a while and all, but I appreciate you for being a part of this mission even with your intense dislike of professional wrestling as a sport. You’ve got more passion than we’ve ever given you credit for. You’re the catalyst of our team, the one that gets the ball rolling and the one that sets the table for the others to get the job done. You do your part, we win tonight… and I will move every mountain in the Rockies possible to make your dreams in the television business come true. You don’t have to wrestle another match after tonight if we win!

[Chelsea’s eyes light up.]

Chelsea: You’d do that for me?

Myra: Yes… because I appreciate you! And Andrea….

[Andrea is on guard as she looks at Myra.]

Myra: Look, we really got started off on the wrong foot and I know I’ve expressed much of the things that I have about you, but we win this tonight, I promise you, from the bottom of my heart, that I am truly going to treat you like a princess and give you everything you’ve ever dreamed of. Clarissa is right about you, despite my intense dislike for the bitch now. You ARE, in every sense of the word, the FUTURE of our business and I want to make sure that my legacy lives on through you. I do have one more favor to ask of you, after we win.

Andrea: Yeah?

Myra: After we win, I am going to trust YOU to deal with the mole that’s been leaking things to Clarissa. I want YOU to get the job done against this leaker, whose identity we now know! THAT, Andrea, is how much I really trust you now!

Andrea: Thanks…

Myra: Now, are we going to win as a team or what?

Adrian: DAMN RIGHT!

Chelsea: RATINGS!

Andrea: Mmhmm…

Myra: Glad to know we’re on the same page! Anyway Adrian, we need to talk about what we’re going to do to make Utopia even BETTER than ever after tonight!

[Adrian nods as he stands up, leaving with Myra to discuss their plans. Sedona Sky is all alone and their positive expressions turn into one of total anger.]

Chelsea: Thanks for breaking the spell…

Andrea: The way they’ve abused you for the last few weeks… hell from day one… it’s sad, it’s pathetic, and it should NEVER be tolerated!!!

Chelsea: So… what do we do? Now that we know the truth about how Myra and Adrian feel about us…

Andrea: We play their game, that’s what! They haven’t laid a finger on us, so as long as that’s the case, let’s keep playing their game.

Chelsea: Sounds like a plan.

Andrea: It’s sure fun playing their game isn’t it?

Chelsea: We’re the REAL Mistresses of Manipulation!

[Sedona Sky has a laugh to themselves.]

Andrea: We only learned that from the best, right?

[Chelsea nods as the pair leave the locker room, knowing damn well how Myra and Adrian feel about them yet, still needing to play along for their own sake. Once they leave, the scene fades.]

Backstage…

Darian Andrews can be seen talking to some unknown party on a cell phone.

Andrews: “You saw that, right? “Best Newcomer of the Year”. … Yes, I know that “Best” isn’t actually a part of it’s title, but that’s still the spirit of the award. … What? … Yeah, I have a title defense… well, it’s half defense, half shot. … What do you mean “underdogs”? We’re the World Tag Te… … Well, yeah, the Sisterhood have been Champions everywhere they’ve been. … And Ginger Nation are back-to-back winners of GCW’s Tag Team of the Year. … But that doesn’t necessarily make Matty and I… … Okay, so we’re underdogs.”

He looks off as Janice King starts to approach him.

Andrews: “Oh, hey… I gotta go. Interview time. … Yep, we’ll talk after. … Bye…”

He ends his call as King arrives at his side.

Andrews: “Jan… what’s up?”

King: “You have a big match later on tonight.”

Andrews: “Really? Dude… I had no idea.”

King: “But it’s been in the works for…”

Darian immediately has to assure Janice…

Andrews: “Jan… I’m joking. A match of this magnitude? Of course it’s been on my mind.”

King: “And apparently on the mind of whomever you were talking to on the phone there. Mind giving any insight into who that was?”

Andrews: “Actually, I do mind. I try to keep the outside people outside… I mean, you know what kind of crazy ass crap people try to pull on the loved ones of people within the business in the name of getting some cheap heat. I’m not going to expose my outside people to that.”

King: “So there are outside people?”

Darian goes to answer, but catches himself.

Andrews: “You almost got me to spill the beans, Jan… ALMOST! But seriously, could you imagine the unmitigated disaster it would be if Chelsea Summers learned that the reason her feelings for me aren’t reciprocated was because I had a girlfriend outside the business?”

King: “Do you?”

Andrews: “… Jan, come on…”

King: “Sorry… anyway, tonight, you and Matty Graves are set to compete against a couple of highly decorated pairings in Ginger Nation and The Sisterhood, with the winning tandem unifying GCW’s Tag Team Championships. What are your thoughts going into this match?”

Darian leans back against the wall.

Andrews: “My thoughts… well, lets see. The catering backstage has been exceptional. The vibe of the whole weekend has been something else…”

King: “No, I meant…”

Andrews: “The city! How can you go wrong with this city? Everything, really…”

King: “About the match!”

Darian stops…

Andrews: “I was getting there. Tonight, apparently Matty and I are the underdogs. We’re not as established as Ginger Nation or The Sisterhood. That much is true. But you know what? I may not speak for Matty when I say this, but that’s exactly how I like it. I’ve been an underdog my whole life. I wasn’t supposed to be able to make it on the indy circuit. When I did, I wasn’t supposed to make it to a company like GCW. When I did, I certainly was never supposed to become a Champion… and here we are… Resurrection VI, and I’m still, at least for now, one half of the GCW World Tag Team Champions. I’m no psychic. I can’t tell you for certain what’s going to happen out there in the match. But what I can tell you is that I’m going to go out there, put on the match of my life and return afterwards with my head held high. Look at me, mamma… I made it!”

With that, Darian exits the scene, which fades.


4-on-4 Elimination Match
Utopia vs. Jazmyn Rain, Axl Austin, Ian McKinnon and Brookford


ELIMINATION #1: Ian McKinnon and Andrea Hernandez were the ones in there to start the match. It was an evenly matched battle at first, but a belly to belly suplex from Ian would turn the tide in his favor. Ian took control for a bit before Brookford was tagged in. Andrea was helpless as Ian and Brookford kept trading tags and beating down Andrea while Myra and Adrian merely looked on. Brookford would pin Andrea after a spinebuster, but she kicked out at two. Brookford tagged Ian back in. A powerbomb attempt was reversed into a hurricanrana by Andrea, sending her right into her corner, where Adrian blind tagged himself in. Adrian jumped in and blindsided Ian, nearly pinning him with a bulldog. Ian kicked out. Adrian went for a Smart Elbow. Missed. Ian countered with a Pele kick knocking Adrian down. He went to the top, looking for a Shooting Star press. Chelsea Summers grabbed him by the ankle, drawing the referee’s attention. Adrian ran up to Ian and leaped in the corner, nailing him in the head. Ian fell off the top, limp on the mat. Adrian peeled back his elbow pad revealing it was loaded with a brace behind the referee’s back. Chelsea hopped off the apron. Adrian hit the Super Smart Elbow with the loaded brace and the fans booed as Ian was pinned for the 3.

ELIMINATED: Ian McKinnon (4-3 Utopia)

ELIMINATION #2: Axl ran in to jump Adrian and he really unloaded fists of fury at him. Axl’s speed really slowed down Adrian, culminating with a running enziguri knocking him down. While Axl applied a camel clutch after that, Adrian was able to escape and slam him down to the mat. Cover! Axl kicked out. Chelsea Summers wanted in, so Adrian tagged her in. Chelsea swooped in and started pounding on Axl. Chelsea wore out Axl for a bit, culminating with a hurricanrana facebuster! Chelsea for the pin… Axl kicked out. Chelsea went for a cross body that was blocked. Axl brought down Chelsea with a scoop slam and then tagged in Brookford! Brookford went in with rage and Chelsea was no match for him. Myra and Adrian snickered, but Andrea ran in to desperately keep Brookford at bay. Brookford pushed Andrea away, but Chelsea got a chop block. Sedona Sky started working as a team from there, doing everything they could while the referee couldn’t keep up with them. A double STO to Brookford really made things bleak and just when they were going to finish him off. Ian came back, ran at Andrea and clotheslined both Andrea and himself out of the ring. This threw Chelsea off as she lost focus and started complaining to the referee. Brookford came out of nowhere with a rearnaked choke, locked into the center of the ring. The fans erupted as Chelsea tapped out immediately.

ELIMINATED: Chelsea Summers (Tied 3-3)

ELIMINATION #3: Brookford looked toward the corner and wanted one of Myra or Adrian. Myra hopped off the apron and Adrian stepped down. However, Ian threw Andrea in the ring and then dragged Chelsea out of the ring and up the ramp to prevent any further interference from Sedona Sky. Brookford punished Andrea for a bit, culminating with an Alabama Slam! Andrea kicked out of the ensuing pin and Jazmyn Rain was tagged in for the first time. Jazmyn was effective against Andrea, matching her quick pace and outwrestling her, culminating with a springboard cutter! However, a cheap elbow from Myra distracted her and Andrea got back in it. For the next couple of minutes, Andrea and Myra kept tagging in and out to keep Jazmyn grounded. Myra had Jazmyn pinned after a scoop slam, but Jazmyn kicked out. Myra tagged Andrea back in and ordered Andrea to “finish her”. Andrea nodded and measured Jazmyn as she got to a vertical base. However, just before Andrea could make a move, Myra turned Andrea around, kicked her in the gut, lifted her up and DRILLED HER WITH THE TRADITION BREAKER! The fans were STUNNED by this as Jazmyn recovered not knowing what happened. Jazmyn picked up Andrea and gave her the Rain Drop/Rain Splash combo and she hooked the leg for the three count to give her team the lead!

ELIMINATED: Andrea Hernandez (Anti-Utopia leads 3-2)

ELIMINATION #4: Jazmyn had no time to breathe as Adrian Waters quickly bolted in there to assault Jazmyn. Adrian overpowered her for a while, culminating with a gutwrench suplex that he tried to turn into a three count, but Jazmyn was able to kick out. Adrian dragged Jazmyn into his corner and tagged Myra in and for a few minutes more, she would be a victim of a double team as Myra and Adrian continued to isolate Jazmyn from her corner. Adrian nearly had her after a simple powerbomb, but Jazmyn kicked out. Myra nearly had her after a running snapmare, but Jazmyn grabbed the bottom rope. Myra went for the Tradition Breaker, but Jazmyn countered and brought her down with a double underhook facebuster. Race to the corner time! Tied race! Adrian and Brookford were tagged in. This triggered a full scale brawl between the two. Brookford had the upper hand and nailed Adrian with an STO, but Adrian kicked out. Brookford dragged him up and Adrian took a cheap shot with a rake to the eyes. Brookford looked at him and Adrian gave him the middle finger. Brookford… SNAPPED! A massive lariat, a sit down powerbomb, a running powerslam, a spinning powerbomb, all in that order. Myra tried to run in with brass knuckles, but Brookford stopped her, ripped the knuckles off her hand, and shoved her to the mat. Brookford dragged Adrian to the corner and started to pound the hell out of his face with the brass knuckles to the point where Adrian was busted open. The referee tried to calm him down, but when he saw the brass knuckles, he called for the bell!

ELIMINATED: BROOKFORD (disqualification. Tied 2-2)

ELIMINATION #5; Security came out to escort Brookford out of the ring, but Brookford didn’t care. He went up the ramp with a smirk on his face, getting the pound of flesh he was looking for. Meanwhile, Axl Austin re-entered the fray for the first time in a while, as Jazmyn looked a bit stunned in the corner by Brookford’s DQ. Axl did in fact, take advantage of Adrian’s beaten state and for the next few minutes, he was in total control. Axl tried pinning Adrian after a back body drop, but Adrian kicked out at two. Axl went for a corner splash, but Adrian blocked it with his metal elbow, right into Axl’s sternum. Axl doubled over and Adrian was in control again. Adrian tried pinning Axl after a spear and a swinging neckbreaker, but Axl kicked out both times. It didn’t help that Myra interfered where she could. Myra picked up a pipe and was going to hand it to Adrian when it was snatched out of her hands by…. CHELSEA SUMMERS! Myra was stunned as Andrea Hernandez wasn’t far behind and the fans erupted with cheers as they pounced on Myra and beat her down, before violently tossing her into the steel steps! Double STO to Myra on the floor! Adrian caught wind and saw that, and he started cursing at Sedona Sky. Andrea and Chelsea responded with a middle finger, which drew a heavy cheer! Adrian turned around… RIGHT INTO THE AYATOLLAH OF P’COLA! Axl dropped down and hooked the leg for the pin and the fans cheered when the three count was made!

ELIMINATED: Adrian Waters (Anti-Utopia leads 2-1)

ELIMINATION #6: Andrea and Chelsea picked up Myra and rolled her into the ring, before they both walked up the ramp to cheers from the crowd. Adrian was helped to the back not too long after. Myra slowly got up, realizing that she was the only one left as Jazmyn and Axl stood in front of her. Now Utopia’s survival hinged on her alone and she knew it. Axl went for the Ayatollah of P’Cola, but Myra ducked it. Axl came back with a shoulder tackle to knock her down. Axl and Jazmyn spent the next few minutes tagging each other in and out, the fans loving it knowing it was only a matter of time. Jazmyn dropped Myra with a spinning heel kick and made a cover, but Myra kicked out. Axl dropped Myra with a pop up powerbomb and pinned her, but Myra kicked out again. Axl went for a Ranhei, but Myra blocked it and then went into rage mode. Myra decked Axl in the head with a chick kick and with a last wind, exploded out of the box. Still, despite a Plot Twister, Axl refused to go down without a fight as he kicked out of it. Myra nailed Axl with a vicious knee to the head after that, and then brought him down with a SECOND Plot Twister! Desperate to stay alive, Myra didn’t go for the pin. Her raging rally culminated with a 630 SPLASH! Myra stared angry daggers at Jazmyn as she hooked Axl’s leg and the crowd groaned as she got the three count!

ELIMINATED: Axl Austin (Tied 1-1)

ELIMINATION #7: And so, it came down to Myra Lynwood and Jazmyn Rain. Jazmyn walked in as Myra stood up and a staredown ensued before Myra slapped Jazmyn. Amazingly, Myra’s rally would continue despite Jazmyn being fresher as she constantly beat Jazmyn into the corner, trying to stymie her in the best way that she could. Myra went for a power assault as Jazmyn didn’t seem to have an answer for a vertical suplex or a reverse piledriver! Myra went for the pin after the latter, but Jazmyn managed to find a way to kick out. Myra went for a 630 in desperation again, but Jazmyn rolled out of the way. Jazmyn took control and she went after Myra’s weakness: speed! Knowing Myra wasn’t as agile as she once was, Jazmyn brought her down with moves like a tilt-o-whirl headscissors, a springboard senton and a tilt-o-whirl backbreaker! Jazmyn went a pin after the latter move, but Myra was able to kick out in her own right. Jazmyn nailed the Rain Drop. Myra kicked out of 2 on the ensuing pin. Jazmyn went for the Rain Splash. BLOCKED! Myra used the momentum to get Jazmyn up and viciously bring her down with the TRADITION BREAKER! The fans booed this before going silent, but when Myra went for the pin, JAZMYN KICKED OUT! Frustrated, Myra locked in the Relentless Torture, the same move that made Jazmyn pass out at Deadly Dreams. Jazmyn struggled to breathe, but then, just when it seemed she’d fade once more, Jazmyn desperately punched at the knee pressed on her neck and with a couple of desperate backfists, Myra’s knee fell off her neck. With a final desperate wind of her own, Jazmyn lunged toward the bottom rope AND GRABBED IT! Myra was stunned as she let go of the hold! Myra dragged Jazmyn up and toward the center, kicking her in the gut. But Jazmyn countered with an elbow and nailed another Rain Drop! Step through the ropes… RAIN SPLASH!!!! The fans screamed in elation when she nailed it and went for the cover…. BUT MYRA KICKED OUT! Jazmyn though, remained calm. She got up and the fans went nuts as she applied the scissored armbar/crossface combo… the ANGEL WINGS! Myra was trapped with nowhere to go as she struggled to breathe through some unbearable pain. She tried desperately to reach for a bottom rope she was nowhere close to, before she went limp. Myra absolutely refused to tap out, especially to Jazmyn. She faded and the referee checked her free arm three times. It fell to the mat once… fell to the mat twice… fell to the mat a THIRD TIME! The referee knew that Myra was out at that point and the fans exploded with a deafening cheer as the referee called for the bell!

ELIMINATED (by submission KO): Myra Lynwood

WINNERS: Jazmyn Rain, Axl Austin, Brookford and Ian McKinnon

Jazmyn slowly got up and got her hand raised by the referee as a smile came on her face. The crowd cheered, knowing that finally, Utopia’s reign of terror over GCW was over. The announcers pointed out two ultimate ironies: that Myra with all her pride hung onto Utopia until the very end and refused to let it go, which came back to haunt her, and that Jazmyn made Myra pass out at the end just the way Myra did to her at Deadly Dreams. Jazmyn joyfully celebrated with the fans, but she wasn’t alone for very long as Axl, Ian and Brookford came down to join her. There were some high fives and hugs as Adrian came back down to carry his fiancee up the ramp considering she was unconscious. As the team that conquered Utopia continued to celebrate, the announce team wondered what was next for all four of them.

(We cut backstage where Aubrianna Powers leads her brothers, Steve and Derek Powers, down the hall while Janice King, the GCW Hall of Fame reporter, rushes to catch up with them for interview purposes.)

Janice: Aubrianna! Steve! Derek!

(The Powers family collectively sighs as they stop and turn to face Janice.)

Derek: What is it, doll face?

Steve: Yeah, don’t bother us with an interview…

(He snickers.)

Steve: …unless you’re going to ask one of us out.

(Janice rolls her eyes. Aubrianna steps in between her brothers and Janice.)

Aubrianna: Step back, boys. Clearly she’s not into you.

(Janice sighs with some relief as Steve and Derek look on with some annoyance. Aubrianna glares at Janice.)

Aubrianna: BUT she is annoying. What do you want, Janice?

Janice: We saw what you and your brothers did to Kordy and Cassidy. I just want to know why.

Aubrianna: What kind of dumbass question is that?!

(Aubrey gives the “talk to the hand” sign to Janice.)

Aubrianna: You are an idiot. Look, Janice, you are looking at the greatest collection of star power in GCW. Not only that but this is the weekend where GCW recognizes and honors its birth, its Resurrection if you will. And I ask you this, Janice, what family was right here in GCW from the very beginning, at its birth? And I don’t mean six years ago when that British twat Glory bought it, I mean at its birth fifteen years ago?

Janice: Uh…

Aubrianna: Don’t answer, moron!

(She motions to herself and her brothers.)

Aubrianna: The Powers family! My brother Steve was there from the start. Now Derek and I have followed in his footsteps. We are GCW royalty. Hell, we are WRESTLING ROYALTY! But were we on the Resurrection card?

(She shakes her head.)

Aubrianna: No, we weren’t. We were left off and that was an insult to the Powers family. Now we heard Henry Van Stanton make the announcement about the shake-up and that’s fine, but whatever show we end up on, whether its Livewire or Shotgun, Allison Mayberry or Francis Taylor, they had better know how to treat major stars such as the Powers dynasty!

(Aubrianna, Steve, and Derek walk away.)

(We cut backstage where we spot Jenni Anderson in the Ginger Nation dressing room with her fellow Ginger Nation member, and recent GCW Hall of Fame inductee, Allison Lorraine.)

Jenni: Allison, may I ask you one question?

Allison: What is it?

Jenni: I just wanted to talk to you about the past two nights.

(Allison sighs.)

Allison: Yeah, I know, I lost to Laurel, but it’s no big deal. She’s tough, I knew beating her would be tough.

Jenni: Well it IS kind of a big deal, babe, considering the odds were up against, this is for the Undisputed Tag Team Titles and we need #GingerNation at 100 percent, but you’re clearly not at 100% after going through that war two nights ago, and that means we as a unit are not at 100 percent tonight.

Allison: Yeah but there’s still five of you. Surely you all can handle it without me.

Jenni: Perhaps, but there’s also the fact that you were making nice with Laurel Anne Hardy. What gives?

Allison: She’s just a friend, Jenni. She’s just a friend.

(Jenni rolls her eyes.)

Jenni: Yeah, but you have another friend you need to be worrying yourself over, don’t you? Remember Ginger Enigma?

Allison: Oh God, not that idiot…

Jenni: Yes, her. She is an idiot…a dumbass…a moron…a

Allison: Right, I get the picture.

Jenni: She’s damn near worthless. The only reason we keep her around is because she’s good at being a human shield. Make sure she does that tonight, ok?

Allison: Right, will do.

Jenni: Good.

(Jenni exits the dressing room. As soon as she is gone Allison sighs and shakes her head.)

Allison: …how much of that did you hear?

(The Ginger Enigma emerges from the bathroom. Destiny Skye is with her.)

Destiny: How did you know we were in there?

Allison: I have good hearing. How long were you there listening?

Destiny: Long enough. I wanted to make sure Enigma heard the truth.

(Allison turns around to face Enigma. Tears are rolling down Enigma’s cheeks.)

Enigma: Do you and Jinxy mean what you said? Am I dumb?

Allison: I…I don’t…

Destiny: Tell her the truth, Allison.

(In a rage Allison turns and slaps Destiny across the face.)

Allison: YOU! This is your fault! You’re trying to cause dissention in the ranks! You know what I can do, don’t you? #GingerNation owns you, Destiny! We can have your career dead in the water!

Destiny: #GingerNation owns you too, Allison, or have you forgotten? Jenni tells you to jump and you ask how high. I thought you were brainwashed, like everyone else thought you were brainwashed, but after getting to know you, I’ve seen the truth. You’re not brainwashed…you’re just weak. You quit fighting back.

(Allison bows her head in shame.)

Allison: I have no choice, Destiny. We have no choice. #GingerNation beat me like they beat you. The quicker you realize that, the easier it will be for you.

Destiny: And then become like you?

Allison: Like what?

Destiny: Look at what you’ve become!

(Enigma is still crying. Allison immediately embraces her in a tight hug.)

Allison: I’m so sorry, Julia! I am so sorry I said those horrible things about you! And I’m sorry for what Jenni said! Please, will you find it in your heart to forgive me?

(Julia “The Ginger Enigma” Boleyn smiles with tears running down her cheek.)

Enigma: Yeah…forgive!

Allison: So how about we start over with a blank slate?

Enigma: Sure! But, uh…what’s a slate?

(Allison chuckles and hugs her again.)

Allison: It doesn’t matter sweetie! It really doesn’t matter!

(Allison and Enigma turn to face Destiny who has her hands on her hips.)

Destiny: So now what?

Allison: Now what?

(She shakes her head.)

Allison: Look, the way I’ve been acting lately has been terrible, but let’s face facts, Destiny, #GingerNation owns our contracts. We’re members of #GingerNation until we retire or unless a #GingerNation member, excluding you or myself for obvious reasons, tears up the contract…

(Destiny sighs.)

Destiny: I guess you’re right then, we are #GingerNation permanently, because none of those other bitches will tear up that contract and release us...

(Enigma starts jumping up and down.)

Enigma: ZIPPY!

Allison: Uh, Enigma, what are you jumping around for?

[Axl Austin is walking down the hallway with an ice pack taped to his shoulder after all the physical damage he took as part of the four on four elimination match earlier tonight. He doesn’t have too much farther to walk as he stops along a door. Axl opens the door and walks in, finding GCW World Champion Victoria Salinas leaning against the wall with the GCW World Championship strapped around her waist. Victoria looks at him, not offering a reaction.]

Victoria: You couldn’t just knock, could you? *laughs*

Axl: Hey, I know the biggest match of your GCW career yet is coming up and I didn’t know how much time I had to catch you before you went out there.

Victoria: I can see why. You did take a bit of a beating earlier.

Axl: True, but hey, it was worth it! Not only do I have one up on Adrian now, but Utopia is DEAD!

[Victoria and Axl both smile and laugh at this, mutually happy that Utopia is finally gone.]

Axl: And hey, I have the unique distinction of saying that at Resurrection, I played a role in the demise of TWO factions: Executive Order and Utopia! I wonder who it’s going to be next year. Pure Class maybe? I’m kidding of course…

Victoria: Hey, you never know. I mean, it was a year ago where I was almost convinced that I would never be GCW World Champion again. Remember that? The whole confidence thing? “Broken Vicky”?

Axl: Yeah, I do. But you’ve come a long way since then. I remember when we reconnected and you were a completely different person at the time from the girl I fell in love with years ago. And yet, I knew that the person was in there somewhere. I could feel it. For a long time, you were afraid to let her out because you thought she was weak. But slowly, as time came along, that woman I fell in love with kept coming out little by little. I remember how much your wars with Travis and Tina hurt you. I still remember how devastated and heartbroken you were when you challenged McKay for the title and Tina ruined everything. I remember how frustrated you got when you DREW with Cassidy Carter… a DRAW! You got so frustrated over a DRAW on the first Shotgun of 2016. I was there the whole time as you were slowly losing your confidence the longer you were out of that world title picture. Hell, I still remember that meltdown you had 12 months ago when you were force paired with Kayla Jones.

Victoria: Crazy times, hard times… you know it.

Axl: Then you hit rock bottom 9 months ago and yet, since then… it’s all come together for you. You’ve grown up so much, Vix, since the very first day we reconnected here. I just wanted you to know that no matter what happens out there, you’ll always be MY World Champion.

[Victoria gets moved by this as tears of joy start to fill her eyes.]

Axl: Everything you’ve ever had to overcome, everything you’ve accomplished after overcoming everything I mentioned… it all culminates with this match… a match that I know you’re going to win. You’re the most amazing person I could ever have in my life. What happens out there can never change that, but you’re going to win. The last two years? It’s all made you a better wrestler now than you’ve ever been in your career.

Victoria: Thank you… for everything… for being that one person that I could always count on along the way.

[Victoria and Axl hug as tears of joy stream down the face of the world champion. They give each other a quick kiss on the lips as Axl wipes Victoria’s tears away.]

Axl: I wouldn’t miss a second of it for the world if you had to go on this journey all over again.

Victoria: I don’t doubt that at all. Axl, there’s one last chapter left to be written on this journey and that’s the chapter I’m about to write at this moment… my title defense at Resurrection, Isabella Harker… a match I am going to win because I believe in my heart, in my deepest of burning desires, that this journey that ends tonight one way or another, is going to have the happiest of endings!

Axl: Hey, what are you talking to me for? Go write that final chapter!

[Victoria laughs.]

Victoria: Thanks! Love you!

Axl: Love you too!

[The two exchange another kiss before Victoria turns and leaves the locker room ready to defend her title on the biggest of stages under the brightest of lights!]


Undisputed Tag Team Championship
Darian Andrews and Matty Graves (World Tag Champs) vs. GingerNation (Global Tag Champs) vs. The Sisterhood


[Before the match begins it is announced that due to the importance of the match, the match can only end in a pin or submission. Darian, Jenni, and Angelica start out for their respective teams. Darian and Angelica double team Jenni early on for the first several minutes. Jenni rolls to the outside to break the momentum. Karina rushes in but she gets a taste of the same double team. Jenni gets back in and pulls Darian off of Karina. Matty rushes in and helps Darian double team Jenni while Kayla rushes in and The Sisterhood double teams Karina. Matty and Darian have Jenni outside the ring when The Sisterhood backdrop Karina up and over the top, taking them all out. Angelica then uses Kayla as a springboard to launch herself over the top taking all of them out. Kayla joins them outside as all six brawl. Jenni manages to rake Kayla in the eyes and then pile drives her on the concrete. Angelica angrily attacks Jenni and rolls her back into the ring. Darian joins them back in the ring. Darian tries join in on the double team but Angelica wants Jenni all to herself and shoves Darian. Darian then attacks Angelica and the two fight, allowing Jenni time to tag out to Karina.]

[Karina stands back and allows Darian and Angelica to fight amongst themselves for the next several minutes. Angelica goes for a Hot Shot but Darian backdrops out of it. He connects with a DVDT! Karina now chooses to get involved with a superkick! Karina with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors takedown. Karina with a face buster knee smash. Karina tags out to Jenni. Jenni is back in and she and Karina double suplex Darian. Jenni then drops Darian with the Adora-Bomb. She covers….1…2…Matty breaks it up! Jenni tags back out to Karina. Karina goes for Ravishing Read Drop but Angelica with a spinning heel kick followed up by The Stubborn Bitch! Angelica locks Karina up in the Firestarter! Darian tags out to Matty. Matty in and breaks up the submission hold. Matty hits an arm bar takedown on Angelica Jones and then a hammerlock suplex on Angelica. Karina rushes Matty only to have Matty backdrop her over the top and to the outside. Matty spears Angelica and then locks her up in a rolling heel hook. Jenni breaks it up before Angelica taps. Darian rushes in and spears Jenni to the outside. Matty picks Angelica up but Angelica with a jaw breaker followed up by The Hot Shot! Angelica is too weak to cover and instead crawls to her corner where Kayla has just now managed to make it back. Angelica tags out to Kayla!]

[Kayla with a roundhouse kick to Matty! Karina back in and whips Kayla into the ropes but Kayla rebounds with a Kaylan Wind Kick 2.0 that sends Karina back to the outside. Jenni tries to get involved and Kayla with a traditional Kaylan Wind Kick but it sends Jenni to the outside as well. Angelica is up and she pairs off against Darian as Kayla pairs off against Matty. Meanwhile Jenni and Karina are waving for someone to come down to the ring. The crowd boos as Allison Lorraine, Destiny Skye, and The Ginger Enigma come down to the ring. Jenni orders Enigma to take advantage of the Freebird rule and enter the ring but Enigma refuses much to the delight of the crowd. Jenni then slugs Enigma. Allison retaliates by attacking Jenni! Karina, though takes Allison, Enigma, and Destiny out with a steel chair! Meanwhile in the ring Darian has connected with DVDT on Kayla and Matty has Angelica in a rolling heel hook. Jenni and Karina rush in and break up the cover and submission.]

[The four brawl, Matty pairing off against Karina and Jenni pairing off against Darian. Jenni with an Adora Bomb on Darian but Darian smartly rolls to the outside. Karina with a Ravishing Red Drop to Matty. They consider ending it but they look at Kayla prone on the mat. Karina pulls her up and gets her set for a pile driver. Jenni climbs the turnbuckle, preparing for a spike pile driver that would certainly end her career…but Marie rushes down to the ring! She shoves Jenni off the top turnbuckle, causing her to crash into the steel guard rail! Karina is distracted and doesn’t see Allison, Destiny, and Enigma, reentering the ring. Destiny connects with the Destiny Cutter on Karina! Enigma with The Enigma Driver on Karina! Allison then drops Karina with The Ferocious Fate!]

[Marie rolls Jenni back in the ring as she exits with Destiny, Enigma, and Allison in tow. With Karina practically taken out, this leaves Jenni by herself against both members of Darian and Matty and The Sisterhood. Darian drops Jenni with a DVDT, Kayla with a Kaylan Wind Kick into a Hot Shot from Angelica, and then finally Matty tosses Jenni over the top and to the outside! Now that we’re down to two teams, Kayla spears Matty to the outside and the two fight, Angelica and Darian brawl inside the ring. Darian gets the better of the exchange and goes for the DVDT but Angelica slips free and kicks him in the gut and goes for The Hot Shot but Darian attempts to back drop out of it but Angelica counters with a sunset flip roll-up…1…2…3!]

WINNERS and NEW Undisputed GCW World Tag Team Champions: The Sisterhood

The big screen flickers to life. The opening chords of “Supergirl” by Bullet and Snowfox play…

As the crowd rise to their feet in unison, knowing what the song means, the screen confirms their thoughts…

“SUPERGIRL” AMELIA ROBSON

RETURNING SOON

TO GCW SHOTGUN!!

The crowd can barely contain their excitement, as chants of “SUP-ER-GIRL” break out across the arena. The scene returns backstage…

(We cut backstage shortly after the tag title match. Marie Jones leads Allison Lorraine, The Enigma, and Destiny Skye down the hall. They run into Janice King.)

Janice: Ladies! Ladies, what happened? What happened out there?

Marie: What happened? It looked to me like we crowned new Undisputed GCW Tag Team Champions. Congratulations to my mother and my aunt, by the way! The Sisterhood always makes history!

Janice: Yeah, but that may not have happened were it not for you four taking out the #GingerNation. Weren’t you all part of the #GingerNation?

Marie: What happened is simple. My mom asked me a question a few weeks ago. She wanted to know if this is the vision I had in mind for the #GingerNation.

(She shakes her head.)

Marie: No, it wasn’t. Being a proud ginger is one thing, but cheating to get cheap wins and ruining people’s careers by forcing them to join the #GingerNation goes over the line. But it got to be the most disturbing when I watched Allison fight her friend in a Last Woman Standing Match in night one of Resurrection. I drove Allison to do that when I forced her to join #GingerNation. Allison and Laurel were once the best of friends and then look at what I did. I bear a great deal of the responsibility. I’m just thankful that their friendship was salvaged.

Janice: Does this mean #GingerNation is dead?

(Marie shakes her head.)

Marie: #GingerNation is not necessarily dead, but it definitely needs to change. We’ll see what happens.

(Janice looks at Allison and Destiny.)

Janice: What about you two? I thought you two were under contract to #GingerNation?

Allison: We were, but then Destiny pointed out a very important fact…

Destiny: We were obligated to be members of the #GingerNation until we either retired OR until a member of the #GingerNation released us from our obligation.

Enigma: ZIPPY!

(Destiny and Allison each wrap an arm around Enigma’s shoulder.)

Allison: Enigma here is a #GingerNation member and she was more than happy to release us from that obligation. I mean, she gets treated like crap by Karina and Jenni, why would she want to help them?

Enigma: SMOOSHED!

Allison: That’s right, Enigma…smooshed.

Destiny: As for me…

(She runs her hands through her long red hair.)

Destiny: I’m getting rid of this red garbage. No offense, Marie.

Marie: None taken.

Destiny: After that? Maybe if Hannah is still around we can still do that team were talking about? Or maybe I’ll go singles again? We’ll see…

(Destiny walks away.)

Allison: The future looks great for me and Enigma. If we’re still on the same show with Marie in the future, maybe we can do right by #GingerNation, what it should’ve been the way Marie had imagined it. I mean…the red hair has kinda grown on me…plus me and Enigma make a great team, right?

Enigma: MERDE!

[Resurrection cuts to the backstage area where Roderick Osborn is standing by.]

Roderick: Ladies and gentlemen, with me at this time is a very special guest, none other than the Guardian Angel herself…. Jazmyn Rain!

[The fans explode with thunderous cheers as Jazmyn appears next to Janice with a smile on her face. Clearly, she’s elated over what took place in the four on four elimination match not too long ago.]

Roderick: Jazmyn, you guys did it! Against Utopia, you defeated them! It was a hell of a team effort so all in all, what’s on your mind right now?

Jazmyn: It wasn’t easy, but it was a hell of a team effort out there. I’m so happy for each and every one of them and as a result of the efforts from every single one of is, I can confidently and proudly say that Utopia… is no more!!!!

[Jazmyn pauses as the fans erupt with some really loud cheers.]

Jazmyn: To be able to go out there and do this for GCW and its fans? Gosh, it means the world to me. For so long, Utopia terrorized GCW and even made its own victims in Clarissa, Andrea and Chelsea… but now? It’s done! It’s over with. As has been the case throughout the history of our business, wrestling tradition survives through the war. I have to give them credit… they were a force to be reckoned with for a while, but I can definitely say that GCW is a much better place with their demise tonight.

Roderick: And I’m sure for you, having Myra one on one and submitting her… at Resurrection… WOW! Last year, she enabled a Global Championship to be taken from you, this year, you enabled the end of Utopia, something that meant so much to her. Although, she passed out rather than tapped out. Any thoughts on that?

Jazmyn: Not a surprise at all, because ultimately… Myra is the most stubborn bitch in this business and THAT Janice… was her ‘fatal flaw’ all along. She fought hard and she fought great. If she submitted, the fans would have respected her more for knowing when to quit. But, instead, she decided to sell out her own well being for her own stubbornness and pride and the people can never respect a person like that. It was her stubbornness and her pride that cost Myra her “utopia”.

Roderick: So, what’s next for all of you now? Are Brookford and Ian going to stick around?

Jazmyn: That’s a question that you’re going to have to ask them. I thank them for their parts and Utopia wouldn’t have been brought to justice without them. Whether they stick around or not, I wish them the very best. Axl… well… I’m damn sure he still has to settle his score with Adrian Waters and I’m confident he will, especially since he’s going to have to fend for himself with no Utopia to protect him anymore. He’ll get his, I’m a believer in that.

Roderick: Great stuff. Now… what about you?

Jazmyn: Hmm?

Roderick: You mentioned your teammates and their futures. Then there’s you. You helped re-invigorate Glory Braddock, you ended Original Intent, you overcame your past demons when you defeated Sophie, and now you’ve just ended Utopia and beaten all of your demons from last year’s Resurrection event. You’ve been a hell of a representative for GCW. So, all that taken into account… what is there left for the Guardian Angel to do for GCW?

[Jazmyn looks down on the floor for a split second before looking back up at Roderick. She has a look of determination in her eyes exuding so much confidence.]

Jazmyn: Roderick… it’s been an amazing ride ever since Deadly Dreams. You’ve mentioned all the threats that I’ve had my hand in bringing down, but there is one thing I have to do. I’m ready for it, I’m more hungry for it than I’ve ever been, and in light of the despicable events at the end of night one, events I can directly relate to… it’s time, Roderick. It’s time to save GCW once more! It’s time to fight for GCW and take that Global Championship from Aphrodite Noel.

[Roderick’s eyes widen a bit as the crowd erupts in a hell of a cheer.]

Jazmyn: After EVERYTHING I’ve overcome since then, and after ALL of my growth, especially spiritual, as a wrestler and as a human being, I’m finally ready to regain what was cruelly torn away from me at Resurrection last year. I WILL be Global Champion again!

Roderick: But you could still end up being drafted to Shotgun…

Jazmyn: That’s true, but with the way this story’s been written, I feel like I’m destined to stay on Livewire past the draft. Aphrodite Noel is NOT going to get away with this! SHE is next and when we meet, you can bet everything in the world that I will save Livewire from her and become Global Champion again! It’s time Roderick… I’m ready to soar to the highest of heavens now!

[Jazmyn smiles before she turns and leaves the interview to those same thunderous cheers she’s become so familiar with.]

Roderick: Wow! There’s a bombshell for you! With Utopia now history… Jazmyn is wasting no time with her next mission… which appears to be regaining the Global Championship by prying it out of Aphrodite’s hands! Will this continue to develop considering the upcoming draft? We’ll find out soon enough!

[Roderick gives a signal and then the scene shifts!]

Isabella Harker can be seen backstage walking through the walkways. She spots the camera, addressing it directly.

Harker: “Tonight is for everyone who ever made a marking on my career, for better or for worse… For Brittany Kayl, who had me working as her muscle.”

The crowd roars a bit…

Harker: “For Cody Lindberg-Knight, who used every low-down, dirty trick in the book to steal the X-Division Championship from me.”

The crowd boos.

Harker: “For Alexander Midas, who tried everything he could think of to push me out of this spot tonight.”

The crowd boos heavier.

Harker: “For Tiffany Manning, who tried to break me down to believe I couldn’t do this without her.”

The crowd’s boos remain strong…

Harker: “For Gabby Austin, who pushed me to the brink and forced me to accept what I had to do to break free from the shackles that had bound me.”

The crowd gives a mixed reaction, considering the events of two nights ago.

Harker: “For Allison Mayberry, who’s shown me a freedom that I hadn’t thought was possible.”

The crowd’s boos turn to small cheers.

Harker: “For Victoria Salinas, who encouraged me to push myself to be the very best… not only that I can be, but that there is in this company. She is the reason I am walking down this aisle today. She is the reason I’m competing against her tonight… kind of cosmic, when you think about it.”

She reaches the Gorilla position, exhaling deeply.

Harker: “Tonight… right now… is the most important moment in my career. And more than anyone else, I do this for me… to show myself that no matter what happens, I belong in this spot. Tonight, I rise!”

As her music starts, Isabella passes through the curtain…

Main Event
World Championship
Victoria Salinas (champion) vs. Isabella Harker


[A big time main event in Madison Square Garden is what the fans wanted, and that’s precisely what the fans would get as Isabella and Victoria, coming from paths so similar over the last year. Things started out a bit intense from Victoria’s end as she bolted for Harker out of the gate, initially stymying her with some aggressive speed. As a result, the challenger often found herself pressed against the corner taking some forearm shots to the jaw that the referee had to break up himself. Victoria followed up with a corner splash and then a bulldog leading to the first cover of the match, but Isabella kicked out. Victoria tried going for a neckbreaker, but Isabella countered into a back body drop and now it was her turn to take control. Unlike the champion, Isabella took a calmer approach and decided to target the right knee. Moves like a kneebar and tactics like jamming the knee into the ringpost would do the trick. Isabella also relied on a power game, as Victoria seemed lost after taking a Northern lights into a pin attempt that she had to kick out of. Isabella continued to take the tactical power approach, bringing Victoria down with a flapjack and going for another cover, but Victoria kicked out again. Isabella then tried a spinebuster, but Victoria was able to block it at the last second and counter into a tornado DDT. Victoria made a cover, but Isabella kicked out. Going on instinct, Victoria decided to slow the match down with submissions of her own. With a submission sequence of a Boston crab, a Texas Cloverleaf and a surfboard stretch, she tried what she could to get Isabella to quit, but Isabella was having none of it. Victoria nailed Isabella with a double knee backbreaker, but Isabella kicked out of the ensuing pin. Victoria went to the top rope going for a moonsault, but Isabella blocked it. Isabella recovered and went right back to her power assault. Victoria took a spinebuster and things didn’t get much better from there. A Fireman’s carry slam followed! That move was followed itself by a scoop slam in the center of the ring. Isabella went for the cover off of the scoop slam, but Victoria kicked out. Back to the submission game after that for Isabella as she targeted the right knee again. A Half-Boston crab was torture for Victoria, but she wouldn’t tap. Isabella converted it into a calf stretch, but Victoria still wouldn’t quit. Then, that got converted to an STF that Victoria only got out of when she dragged herself to the bottom rope and was somehow able to grab it to break up the submission. Isabella dragged Victoria up, only to connect with the CRUSHING BLOW!

Isabella covered, but the champion kicked out! Isabella remained focused, stomping Victoria away with Followed Footsteps. Isabella then went for a curb stomp, but Victoria dodged it. Isabella turned around to Victoria who dumped her with a double knee facebreaker! Victoria with the cover, but no Isabella kicked out. Victoria connected with a handspring moonsault to follow up. Then, Victoria got Isabella up and… GINGER BREAKER! Victoria with the cover… NO ISABELLA KICKED OUT! Victoria was a bit stunned by this, but she regained her composure quickly. She brought Isabella up, looking to nail her with another Ginger Breaker. Isabella though, shoved Victoria into the ropes. Victoria bounced off the ropes and then UNSEEN KNEE/BACK TO DUST COMBINATION! Isabella however, didn’t turn over Victoria for the cover. Instead, she applied the BEASTLY BINDINGS! The crowd rose up, knowing the champion was in severe trouble now with the right knee greatly bothering her. Victoria dragged herself to the bottom rope, but Isabella pulled her PAST the center of the ring all the way to the other side. Victoria was seemingly helpless as she laid down for a half-minute. With one last bit of energy, she was able to drag the submission to the center of the ring before she collapsed. The referee even checked her arm three times, but Victoria stopped it from falling the third time. Victoria then made one final desperate lunge for the ropes… AND GOT THE BOTTOM ROPE! Isabella was the one stunned now as she let go of the move, but Victoria’s right knee was in some serious pain. Isabella dragged Victoria up. She whipped her off the ropes. Isabella was thinking Stake, but Victoria came out of nowhere with a Busaiku knee to the head! Isabella fell limp on the mat, but Victoria wasn’t much better off as she used her injured right knee for the move. Still, she dragged herself to Isabella and covered, but she rolled out the shoulder. Victoria got Isabella up. She was aiming for another Ginger Breaker, but again, Isabella countered. Isabella shoved her into the ropes again, and when Victoria bounced back…. STAKE!!!!! The fans exploded when Isabella nailed the STAKE! Isabella immediately turned Victoria over, hooked the leg and made the pin… BUT VICTORIA SOMEHOW KICKED OUT AT TWO!

Isabella was in stunned disbelief! She picked up Victoria, hoping for a fireman’s carry slam again, but as she went for it, Victoria countered and locked in the arm! Christos Armbar!!! The Burning Victory was locked in, center of the ring. Isabella collapsed to her knees, and then fell flat on the mat. It seemed like it would be over, but two minutes later, with one last, desperate one arm push… ISABELLA GOT BACK TO HER KNEES! Then, she was able to GET TO A VERTICAL BASE! Isabella fell backwards connecting with a modified Samoan drop! Isabella clutched her arm in pain, then turned Victoria over for the cover… but AGAIN Victoria kicked out at two. Isabella got Victoria up. She whipped her off the ropes, again hoping for the Stake, but AGAIN Victoria came back with a Busaiku knee counter… this time to the gut, and this time with the left knee. Victoria quickly stepped through the ropes, springboarded off of them and…. BURNING DESIRE!!!! The fans erupted when she nailed the springboard facebuster! Victoria turned Isabella over and made the cover. The fans would erupt again… BECAUSE ISABELLA SOMEHOW KICKED OUT! Victoria was stunned as she slowly got up and went to the top rope. She was thinking moonsault, but noticed Isabella was starting to stir. Isabella got up. Victoria WENT FOR A SHOOTING STAR PRESS….AND AT THE LAST SECOND NAILED A DOUBLE KNEE FACEBUSTER! The fans exploded with deafening cheers, having never seen a move like that before. Victoria clutched her knee, being in some serious pain, but she dragged herself over to Isabella who was out completely cold! Victoria got to her and hooked the leg for the cover and it would be the Shooting Star Double Knee Facebuster that FINALLY got the three count for the World Champion!]

WINNER and STILL GCW World Champion: Victoria Salinas

[Nobody was sitting down after witnessing the end of what they just saw: a hell of a main event battle that would go down in Resurrection lore. Victoria slowly got up after the war that she fought and the referee handed her the World Championship. She clutched it as she collapsed back to her knees. The announcers discussed the entire match and the spectacle that was just witnessed and how at the end of the day, we saw a war between two superlative competitors who gave it everything! Victoria was slowly able to stand and noticed Isabella seated on the mat with a bit of an empty look on her face. Victoria extended her hand to Isabella. Isabella grabbed it and Victoria pulled her up, and into a long embrace that would follow. After that, Isabella rolled out of the ring and slowly began to walk up the ramp while the broadcast team commended her for a hell of an effort and for showing she was more than capable of someday being a world champion. However, on this night, it was Victoria Salinas who ended up with the World championship. Pyro went off in the building to mark the end of Resurrection weekend and Victoria celebrated her biggest GCW win yet with the fans as the show went off the air.]
