A NIGHT OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING

Crumb: WELCOME EVERYONE TO CHAOS!!

“Saints of Los Angeles” by Mötley Crüe blares as the show pans about the capacity crowd of about thousand or so people. Signs, banners, and posters are sprinkled throughout the crowd such as “I’m The ONLY Lord of Chaos”, “Penelope For Your Thoughts”, and “Brooklyn/Stasi 4 Life!”

“TAPED LIVE FROM THE ICONIC ARENA IN SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA”

Rose: Before you even get into the normal spiel, Patrick, how about we just jump right into the wrestling tonight?

Nelson: Hmm, well we do have A LOT of wrestling action in store as tonight we look to crown the first ever Lord…

Crumb: Or Lady…

Nelson: ...of Chaos. Eight Icons in a seven match tournament in order to crown the best of the best in Iconic Professional Wrestling!

Rose: So...we can get right to it then?

Nelson: (sighing) I suppose so, Rose Marie. Let Chaos “I’m Better Than You” begin then!


Torres: The following DEBUT match is scheduled for ONE FALL with a TEN MINUTE time limit!

"Rebirthing" by Skillet begins to play. The lights in the arena dim with a sole spotlight on the stage. In the spotlight stands St. John Cross, dressed in his white wrestling gear consisting of a long white leather coat over white pants and white boots, and bobbing his head to the music's beat. He smiles big for cameras and the crowd gives him a solid pop (especially the female contingency). Before making this way to ringside, he does the sign of the cross and points upward. As he makes his way to the ring, he fist bumps some of the fans but doesn't take his eyes off the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and pops up effortlessly to his feet. He slowly spins around to check out the audience that will watch him work before facing the camera and giving it a slight nod and wink. He removes his coat and backs up into his corner to await further instructions from the official.

Nelson: Well this young man is coming in with a bit of fanfare.

Rose: Probably helps that the Heavyweight Champion vouches for him.

Crumb: It definitely couldn’t help, right?

Nelson: No, I suppose not.

”Footsteps (Go Higher)” by Pop Evil plays throughout the arena as smoke begins to fill the ramp. Out of nowhere, Penelope begins crawling seductively while yanking on her hair here and there. The fans chant freak as she hissed at them. She finally made it to the ring and lays on her belly snarling while she waits for her opponent.

Nelson: It seems Cross is not waiting for us to commentate on Penelope!

Rose: Here it comes!

St John blasts Penelope in the mouth with a straight right and the referee calls for the bell.

DING DING DING!!

---Debut Match: St. John Cross vs. Penelope---

Penelope staggers from the unexpected impact and St John goes for another. Penelope ducks and rolls into a schoolboy.

One…

Two…

THRE...KICK OUT!!

St John gets to all fours and Penelope tries for a side cradle. St John blocks it, powers up, and drives her down with a wicked powerbomb, holding for a cover.

One…

Two…

THRE....KICK OUT!!

Nelson: Both debuting Icons trading pinfall attempts.

Rose: So neither one of you is going to talk about when this Penelope chick was here a couple months ago?

Crumb: Hmmm….that doesn’t ring a bell, Rose.

Rose: You can’t be serious right now?!

St John pulls her to her feet. Penelope wobbles and St John slaps her violently across the face. Penelope falls to her knees and he blasts her in the middle of her back with a forearm shot. Penelope grimaces in pain as St John takes her to the mat with a three-quarters nelson cradle.

One…

Two…

THRE...KICK OUT!!

Nelson: If Cross would just have held that nelson hold...

Crumb: He’d probably have had her.

Rose: Makes you wonder...

St John pulls Penelope up and throws her bodily into the corner. As she staggers out of the corner, St John comes through with a big clothesline. She crushes back into the turnbuckles again. St John pulls her down into an inside cradle.

One…

Two…

TH...KICK OUT!!

Both Icons start up, Penelope only making it to her knees while St John stands erect. Penelope tries to crawl to the ropes and St John stomps on her ankle. Penelope cries out in pain. St John stomps again.

Crumb: That dirty bastard!

Rose: He’s working for the victory, where’s the problem?

Crumb: He’s playing mean!

Rose: Boo hoo...this ain’t ballet!

St John stomps a third time and then forces her to her feet. Penelope’s leg starts to falter and St John kicks her between them. Penelope’s eyes go wide as she falls to her knees, the pain radiating through her entire body. St John signals to the crowd that it’s time to put her down and pulls her back up, forcing her to carry all of her weight on the one leg. Penelope pushes him causing him to stumble forward to the opposite ropes. Penelope falls to lean on the ropes, her back turned towards her opponent. St John bounces off the ropes and Penelope reaches back, catching him perfectly. She runs up the turnbuckles and comes back down with a sliced bread number two.

Nelson: Brilliant counter by Penelope!

St John wobbles up to one knee as Penelope gets up to her feet. Spying the chance to end this, she charges forward and connects with her Pen 2 Paper (running knee strike)!

Crumb: WHAT CAN ST JOHN CROSS BE THINKING AS HE GETS LAID OUT BY PENELOPE’S PEN 2 PAPER?!?!

Rose: Probably, “I wonder why she calls it that?!”

Penelope hooks the leg as she covers.

One…

Two…

THREE!!!

Torres: Here is your winner...Penelope!!

Torres: The following is a LORD OF CHAOS TOURNAMENT: BRACKET ONE: ROUND ONE match scheduled for ONE FALL with a FIFTEEN MINUTE time limit!

The electronic opening of Rammstein’s ”Deutschland” blares as Johanna Krieger slowly steps out from the back with no lights around her standing in the center of the stage as a white spotlight suddenly flickers on. She holds the insides of her jacket as she moves down towards the ring. Johanna runs up and slides across the ring apron on one knee holding the middle rope before sneering at the fans. She pulls herself up and slingshots herself through the ropes into the ring before spinning to the corner where she sits down.

Nelson: The bad blood that has come to be between Stasi Herveaux and Johanna Krieger, well it only escalated last week when Herveaux brutally attacked Joshua Samson, Esquire.

Crumb: And Johanna made it clear that she was going to get her revenge… even though Astrid Sedin has threatened her if she lays a finger on Stasi outside of a match.

Rose: Pfft! ASStrid is all bark and no bite… as of late. There’s nothing to be scared of when it comes to her.

Nelson: I would not be so sure of that, Rose Marie. Sedin has promised she is back in full fighting form.

”The Downfall of Us All” by A Day to Remember begins to blast throughout the PA system as the fans quickly jump up to their feet, awaiting the arrival of the raven haired lady, Stasi Herveaux. The heavy guitar rift echoes and as it transitions into lyrics, Stasi emerges from the backstage area by stepping through the black curtain. She is holding her hands behind her back as she slowly and powerfully walks to the top of the ramp with a smirk upon her face. Once she's reached the ramp, she stops and holds her arms out to her side at shoulder height as she soaks in all of the energy coming from the fans. Holding her right hand up to her ear, she continues to listen as a wide smile makes it way across her lips. She stands there for a few moments before extending her arms back out and walking down the ramp. At the halfway point, she starts skipping sideways, swinging and crossing her arms in front of her a few times, until she reaches the bottom where she stops and puts her hands back before her back as she smiles again. She walks off to the right, hips swinging from side to side before she hops onto the ring apron. Standing up right away, Stasi puts her back to the ropes and smiles before removing her studded black leather ring jacket. She twirls it around her head once before quickly thrusting it down to the ground and stepping through the ropes and into the ring. Stasi then heads over to the closest turnbuckle and climbs onto the second one, extending her arms out once again as she turns from her right to her left, continuing to absorb the energy coming from the crowd. After a bit, she hops down and stands off to the side as her entrance music fades out.

Nelson: If Herveaux was not the most hated Icon in Iconic Professional Wrestling before, she sure became that on the last edition of Chaos. Yet none of that seems to be phasing her in the least bit.

Crumb: It’s like she wants this to happen. She has been saying for weeks that she’s the savior of IPW, ridding the company of our dear friend Josh.

Rose: What she did was beyond the call of duty and I cannot believe that Brooklyn Holloway allowed her to do something so heinous. She should be fired for that!

The referee looks at both Lady Icons to make sure they are ready for the upcoming match. He then calls for the bell, the match officially underway.

DING DING DING!!

---Lord of Chaos Tournament: Bracket One: Round One: “German Ruger” Johanna Krieger vs. Stasi Herveaux---

Stasi decides to get things started quickly, immediately running across the ring and hitting Johanna in the mouth with a forearm smash. She follows it up with a second as Johanna staggers into the ropes. Stasi hits her with a chop to continue wearing her down.

Crowd: WOO!

Stasi pulls Johanna toward the middle of the ring and tries to set her up for a swinging neckbreaker. Johanna blocks the attempt and shoves Stasi away. Stasi staggers just a step before recovering. She charges at Johanna to keep her momentum alive, only to have Johanna respond by lifting her into the air and delivering an inverted atomic drop! Stasi tries to recover as Johanna steps forward and connects with a clothesline! Johanna hooks the leg and covers.

One...

Two...Stasi kicks out!

Nelson: Herveaux started off quick, but when you give a talented Lady Icon an opening, they usually know how to take advantage of it!

Rose: An opening this early in the match really doesn't mean all that much. Remember that, Patticake.

Johanna grabs Stasi and begins to lift her back up to her feet. Johanna pounds away on Stasi's back to try and wear her down a bit, though Stasi continues to show signs of fighting. Shaking her head, Johanna brings an end to that by lifting Stasi off of the mat and then slamming her down with a powerful body slam! Johanna positions herself over Stasi, leaps into the air, and tries to land on Stasi with an elbow drop! Stasi rolls out of the way just in time, causing Johanna to crash into the mat instead!

Crumb: Stasi is showing her resourceful side. It looks to me that she learned from her last match with Johanna what she should and shouldn’t do in the ring.

Both Lady Icons start pulling themselves back up to their feet. Johanna tries to charge at Stasi once she's standing. Stasi appears to be ready for it as she leaps into the air and sends Johanna crashing to the mat with a dropkick! Stasi quickly closes the gap and locks in a front facelock to try and wear Johanna down a bit more. Johanna aggressively tries to fight her way out of Stasi's grasp.

Nelson: You cannot blame Herveaux for wanting to try and take control of this match! It is definitely what she needs to do if she wants to win!

Crumb: When you're against someone that likes to brawl like Johanna, it's usually a good idea! Though unfortunately for Johanna...Stasi is a bit of a brawler herself. Albeit, a quicker one.

Rose: Stasi might have the speed… but I don’t think she can match the sheer strength that Johanna is.

Johanna finally succeeds in knocking Stasi away. Stasi stumbles for a moment. Johanna grabs her and tries to shoot her across the ring. Stasi reverses the attempt and waits for Johanna to come back on the rebound. Stasi then lifts Johanna into the air, slamming her down with a flapjack! Before Johanna can pull herself back up to her feet, Stasi bounces off of the ropes and hits Johanna with a running senton! She hooks the leg and covers.

One...

Two...Johanna kicks out!

Nelson: That was a sound two count there for Herveaux. She is showing Krieger that she is not going to be backing down.

Crumb: Stasi has said that things are going to be changing around here now that Brooklyn Holloway seems to be in control. What better way than to give Johanna her technically third loss in a row.

Rose: Both of these Lady Icons are total hot heads that let their emotions overtake them. Though Stasi has been quite consistent in her attitude while Johanna is apologizing to ASStrid all of a sudden.

Johanna tries to crawl back up to her feet. Smirking, Stasi looks at her. She waits until Johanna is about halfway up before charging and trying for a running dropkick! Johanna ducks out of the way and Stasi crashes into the mat instead! Johanna grabs Stasi from behind and locks her into a full nelson! Stasi struggles to break out of the hold. Just when it seems like she's about to free herself, Johanna tries to lift Stasi into the air for a full nelson slam! Stasi then manages to free herself---instead hitting Johanna with an enziguri! Johanna falls to the mat. Stasi gives the booing crowd the middle finger before she grabs hold of Johanna.

Crumb: Stasi might be trying to put this one away right here!

Nelson: It would not be a bad idea!

Rose: You think?!

Stasi gets Johanna into position for Novocaine (Gory bomb), when suddenly, Astrid Sedin hops over the guardrail!

Crumb: WHAT CAN EVERYONE BE THINKING AS ASTRID SEDIN IS HER?!?!

Nelson: She does not look too happy! Sedin has vowed to end Herveaux after what she did to her husband.

Crumb: I’m glad that they decided to work on their marriage and get back together. I love going over to there house. Plus Astrid has a snack spread all set out all the time.

Rose: Ugh… your happiness is sickening sometimes, Todd.

Security swarms Astrid in an effort to keep her from getting into the ring. Stasi briefly releases her hold on Johanna. She watches, preparing for a fight that may or may not happen.

Nelson: If Stasi Herveaux does not turn her attention back to Johanna Krieger, then she is going to wind up losing to her again.

Crumb: I don’t think that Stasi really cares at this point. She’s ready to go to war with Astrid Sedin.

Rose: Again… pfft! ASStrid isn’t anything to feel threatened by.

Security finally gets control of the situation. Satisfied, Stasi turns her attention back to Johanna. Johanna dashes forward and connects with her Skold ov Makt (running bicycle knee)!

Nelson: What did I tell you? Stasi Herveaux let herself get distracted.

Crumb: And when she finally did turn around, she’s met with Johanna’s finisher.

Rose: Game. Set. Match.

Johanna covers.

One…

Two...

THREE!!

Torres: The winner of this match and advancing to the Lord of Chaos Tournament semi-finals...Johanna Krieger!!!

Nelson: It took a bit of a distraction from Astrid Sedin, but Johanna Krieger advances!

Rose: It doesn't matter how you advance in the tournament as long as you advance!

Crumb: Honestly, Johanna better have a thank you ready for Astrid because it was possible that she was about to lose this match before Astrid jumped over the barrier.

Astrid smiles as she slides into the ring and instantly goes over to Stasi while Johanna continues to celebrate her win.

Nelson: Sedin staying true to her word and is seeking revenge upon Herveaux!

Pulling Stasi up to her feet, Astrid instantly starts to hit her with a fury of forearms before Stasi manages to push her away and send her stumbling backwards. Johanna turns around, locks Stasi up, and hits her with a hammerlock clothesline that causes Stasi to turn inside out!

Crowd: HOLY SH*T!

Astrid doesn’t look too happy by this and instantly stomps over to Johanna and gets in her “face”.

Astrid: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!

Nelson: Sedin confronting Krieger. These Lady Icons might want to keep their full attention upon Herveaux!

Crumb: Astrid did say that outside of a match, if Johanna touched Stasi she would end her. The match is over so what will Astrid do?

Rose: Come on Johanna… here’s your chance. Hit the bitch!

Astrid: I WARNED YOU NOT TO TOUCH HER! I TOLD YOU SHE WAS MINE!

Before Johanna can blink, Astrid sends her hand flying across Johanna’s face, nearly landing a right hook to Johanna’s cheek. Being off balance already, Johanna stumble backwards into the corner turnbuckle.

Crumb: Astrid staying true to her word!

Rose: I seriously doubt that punch would have had much effect if it would have landed! ASStrid is a weak little bitch!

Refocusing, Astrid walks over to Stasi who is lying near the ropes. The wife of Joshua Samson steps onto her back and connects with multiple stomps to the nape of Stasi’s neck.

Nelson: OHMIGOODNESS! SEDIN HAS LOST IT!

Crumb: WHERE IS SECURITY?!

Astrid: GET HER UP!

Astrid barks to Johanna who still doesn’t look too happy about the attempted punch by Astrid, but nods her head anyway. Johanna hooks her arms under Stasi’s and holds her up. Astrid looks like she is about to hit Stasi with something big when The Headhunters charge down from the backstage area!

Crumb: What in the world are the Headhunters coming out here for?!

Rose: Well they are always up for a good fight!

The brothers slide into the ring as Eric hits a clothesline on Johanna and Dexter a forearm smash on Astrid.

Nelson: It seems that Eric and Dexter Calloway have come out here to help Herveaux! The Headhunters are aligning themselves with the woman that hospitalized the owner of this company for over a week!

The respective pairings start brawling, allowing Stasi to roll to the apron and regain her composure. She pulls herself up using the ring ropes, breathing heavily as her nostrils flare. Dexter holds Astrid in a similar fashion that Johanna was to her, but Astrid boots Stasi in the stomach as she gets closer. Astrid turns and hits Dexter.

Nelson: What in the hell is going on here?!

Crumb: This has turned into a full on brawl! We need to get someone out here to break it up!

Rose: Where’s the cavalry?!

No sooner did the words escape from Rose’s lips when Olivia Rhodes comes out from the backstage area and books it down to the ring.

Nelson: Once again on another Chaos Olivia Rhodes is coming down to help out any Samson loyalist!

Olivia slides in and pulls Dexter off of Astrid, allowing Astrid to turn her attention fully on Stasi. Eventually Compton Brothers Security make their way down to the ring and start to pull everyone apart: putting Astrid, Olivia and Johanna on one side of the ring as Stasi, Dexter and Eric are quarantined on the other.

Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!

Rose: Yeah...let them fight!

Nelson: Ladies and gentlemen, we will return after these paid advertisements. Hopefully we can get everyone calmed down and sorted.

The scene fades to a commercial as everyone all try to keep the brawl going.

Nelson: We are back and thankfully Compton Brothers Security has managed to get everyone involved in that brawl in the last match separated and backstage.

Rose: Should have just let them fight it out. Everyone knows this is far from over between Stasi and ASStrid especially now that both of them seem to have help.

Crumb: This is only going to get worse before it gets better...

Torres: The following is a LORD OF CHAOS TOURNAMENT: BRACKET ONE: ROUND ONE match scheduled for ONE FALL with a FIFTEEN MINUTE time limit!

Down go the lights as the opening beat of "Karate" by BABYMETAL fills the arena. A few lights flash around the stage as the drums thunder away. On cue, as the heavy guitar enters the fray, the screen lights up with

黄金の息子
GOLDEN SON

The guitar hammers away as Hiro Masaki walks out onto the stage, a smile across his face. He wears a knee length golden jacket, closed shut across his chest, and a pair of sunglasses. He looks around the arena as his manager, Jon Kellar, joins him on the stage. Hiro raises both of his hands as the vocals begin

Seiya sessesse seiya.
Seiya sessesse seiya.
Soiya sossosso soiya.
Soiya sossosso soiya.

OSSU!

As the vocals continue Hiro reaches the ring and climbs up the steps. He steps through the middle rope

Namida koborete mo
OSSU!

Hiro reaches the centre of the ring and looks out towards the crowd.

Tachimukatte yukooze!

As the vocals reach the final note he brings his hands up and out to the side, then suddenly runs forward and leaps onto the second rope as the lights come up. He keeps his hands out wide and smiles out into the crowd.

Hitasura seiya soiya tatakau-nda
kobushi o motto kokoro o motto
zenbu zenbu togisumashite.

Hiro motions to the crowd to join in, miming along with the last few words of his song.

Wo'oo wo'oo wo'oo!

Hiro looks disappointed as the crowd do not respond at all. Kellar shakes his head.

Kellar: Focus on the match!

Hiro jumps down from the rope and undoes his jacket, dropping it down off his shoulders and throwing it to Kellar on the outside.

Nelson: This young man had a very impressive debut last Chaos that ultimately lead him to qualifying for this match right here in the Lord of Chaos tournament!

Crumb: He definitely impressed me.

Rose: Not like it takes a lot, Crumbbum.

The lights in the arena go out, the crowd pops as the pitch black twinkles with the light of cell phones. A slow melodic chime of reassembling a child's jack in the box plays through the speakers. A few lights flicker on stage, a guitar, base and drums all chim in slowly keeping beat with the creepy chimes. But then all goes silent.

NIGHTMARE!
(Now your nightmare comes to life.)

With the opening scream of "Nightmare" by Avenged Sevenfold echoes through the arena. The Nightmare Oliver Black pops up from a hole in the stage. The crowd erupts as Black stands center stage, black paint smeared under his eyes, a black nightmare bandana covering the lower half of his face.

Torres: Residing in Brooklyn New York...He is The Nightmare, Oliver Black!

With the announcement of his name the feathered shoulders of his entrance jacket burst open into a large pair of black wings! Oliver stands there a moment soaking in the crowd’s reaction, before making his way to the ring.

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know
That you belong here, yeah
Ooh, it's your f*ckin' nightmare!

Rose: As much as I hate the punk’s father, Oliver is going to be a near unstoppable force in this tournament and more specifically against Hiro.

Nelson: You may have a valid point, Rose Marie. Black has looked very determined and focused leading up to tonight and it would not surprise many if he walked out as a two-time Heavyweight Champion and Lord of Chaos!

Crumb: Well all my money is on Aaron Kostan!

Rose: Of course...

The referee looks at both Icons to make sure that they're ready. He then calls for the bell and the match is officially underway.

DING DING DING!!

---Lord of Chaos Tournament: Bracket One: Round One: Hiroyuki "Hiro" Masaki vs. “The Nightmare” Oliver Black---

The two Icons approach one another. Oliver reaches out and tries to grab Hiro. Maksaki ducks underneath the attempt. He quickly puts his speed on display as he hits Oliver with a few chops to try and wear him down.

Crowd: WOOO! WOOO! WOOO! WOOOO!

Hiro uses his legs to hit Oliver with a series of kicks that causes Oliver to stumble back. Hiro bounces off of the ropes. Oliver tries to lift him into the air to cut him off on the rebound. Unfortunately for him, Hiro instead sends Oliver crashing to the mat with a headscissors takedown! Oliver tries to pull himself back up to his feet as Hiro delivers a vicious knee shot that sends him crashing to the mat! Hiro hooks the leg and covers.

One…

Two...Oliver kicks out!

Nelson: The speed of Makasaki is on display in the early going of this one!

Crumb: And if he can keep that up, he might have a shot at winning this match!

Rose: Unfortunately, I don't know that he'll be able to keep it up!

Hiro hits Oliver with a few quick strikes while he's pulling himself back up to his feet. As soon as he's standing, Hiro once again creates a bit of space between the two of them. Hiro tries to keep his distance from Oliver as he closes the gap. This time, The Nightmare successfully hits Hiro with a right hand that sends him staggering around. Oliver immediately takes advantage of the opening by nailing Hiro with a series of European uppercuts to try and wear him down. Oliver then pulls Hiro in and slams him to the mat with a belly-to-belly suplex! Oliver goes for the cover.

One...

Two...

TH...KICK OUT!!

Shaking his head, Oliver drags Hiro back up to his feet. He hits Hiro with a back elbow shot to nearly knock him down to the mat. Oliver bounces off of the ropes to pick up speed! He charges at Hiro in hopes of sending him to the mat, when Hiro suddenly steps forward and hits him with an enziguri! Oliver drops to a knee and slowly pulls himself back up to his feet. Hiro runs at him and sends the ex-Heavyweight Champion crashing to the mat with a slingblade! Hiro hooks the leg and goes for the cover.

One...

Two...

TH...KICK OUT!!

Crumb: These two are going back and forth with each other right now!

Rose: This is exciting…NOT!

Nelson: You would just have to hope they can keep it up and then we will see which one of them manages to do what it takes to put this match away!

The fans rise to their feet and show their support for Hiro. He smiles as he hits Oliver with a few quick strikes. Hiro tries to lock Oliver into a front facelock to try and wear him down. Oliver almost immediately uses his strength to drive Hiro back against the nearest turnbuckle, getting Hiro to release the hold! He drives his shoulder into Hiro’s ribs a second time before then pulling him toward the middle of the ring. Oliver tries to set Hiro up for a back suplex, but Hiro manages to flip out of it and land on his feet! Hiro quickly grabs Oliver from behind and rolls him up.

One...

Two...Oliver kicks out!

Nelson: Makasaki has really been able to go with Black in this match. He has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is ready to spread his rings here in America.

Crumb: Agreed, Patrick, but being managed by Jon Kellar might not be the best move. There is just something sinister about Jon and it surely won’t work out in Hiro’s advantage.

Oliver pops back up to his feet as Hiro bounces off of the ropes. Oliver tries to cut him off with a clothesline. Hiro ducks underneath the attempt! He bounces off of the ropes again, this time trying to catch Oliver by surprise with a handspring back elbow! Oliver ducks out of the way just in time! Hiro crashes hard into the mat. Oliver hits him in the back of the head with a clubbing blow! Oliver then throws Hiro hard into the nearest turnbuckle! Hiro stumbles back from the impact but nonetheless turns around to try and face Oliver---only to have Oliver hit him with Darkness Falling (single knee facebreaker)!

Rose: Game. Set. Match.

Oliver hooks the leg and goes for the cover

One...

Two...

THREE!!

Torres: The winner of this match and advancing in the Lord of Chaos Tournament to the Semi-Finals....Oliver Black!!!

Crumb: What a win for Black!

Rose: What in the hell?! I had big money that Oliver wouldn’t make it out of the first round!

Nelson: Makasaki put up a formidable challenge but tonight Black was just too much for him!

Torres: The following TRIPLE THREAT match is scheduled for ONE FALL with a TEN MINUTE time limit!

The lights go out as the screen shows a girl running through a woods before stopping, a figure stands before her as ’White Rabbit” by Egypt Central breaks the silence. The smoke comes out from the entrance as from beneath the stage a man hanging upon a cross rises. Once the cross stops the man steps from it, hood covering his long dreadlocked hair as he walks towards the ring. He steps up the steel stairs and between the ropes as he falls to his knees and extends his arms as the lights return and he removes his hood as he gets up and moves to his corner.

Nelson: Hunter Rowe is a very interesting individual, he looks like a beast, he has an aura and presence about him.

Rose: Too bad he sucks…

Crumb: He does not, he just needs momentum, and maybe to keep his mind on the match.

Like a rock concert the stage explodes with pyro spark columns as Deadman Wonderland’s "One Reason" goes on a full audio assault. The lights strobe for several seconds in sync with the music as fog billows out onto the stage. It's concealment is short lived as out from this mist ‘The Twisted One Who Is Many’ begins to slither with wisps of fog trailing off of her as she makes a fast paced stride for the ring.

She sports black leather tights with string laced open seams exposing skin on each thigh, strapped, silver studded and capped knee high boots, fingerless gloves and a studded leather strapped bra top that is under a motorcycle jacket which itself is decorated in chains, spiked shoulders and studded arms. Legion’s logo is emblazoned across the back of the jacket as well as the black and green haired wrestling murderess arrives at ringside with a running leap under the ropes and over the apron, neatly sliding to the center of the ring where she rises to a low crouch.

She shoots off a sly, sinister grin as she stands and begins head banging to her music for a moment. Legion then bursts for the nearest ring post and crouches atop of it, with that dark smile never leaving her face, even as she backflips off the top and landing on her feet, backing right up into the opposite corner where she slides down for a seat on the second turnbuckle, legs spread apart and gloved hands on the top rope as she awaits her next victim....

Crub: Legion is known the world over, she has had ups and downs but no one can question that she is a great addition to the IPW roster.

Rose: Nope she sucks…

Nelson: Oh would you stop it?

Rose: Nope...everyone sucks…

"Frankenstein" plays as Willow walks out to a roar of boos as she didn't let that bother her as she was in a trance her body swaying around as she walks down the ramp as she gets into the ring she sits on the bottom turnbuckle as she looks up at the ceiling muttering things to herself as her theme dies down.

Rose: Willow Rainn always tries so hard and puts so much effort in. But just hasn’t been able to get over that speed bump to become a top name.

Nelson and Crumb: …..

Rose: What?

Nelson: Oh I was just waiting for you to say she sucks.

Rose: How dare you…

Crumb: Oh brother…

DING DING DING!!!

---Triple Threat Match: Hunter Rowe vs. Legion vs. Willow Rain---

The three Icons stare down each other for a moment and start to get a little closer, almost as a stalemate as no one wanted to make the first move and it be a mistake, Hunter seemed to smile as he outsized both of them easily. Willow shook her head and backed up before sliding from the ring. The crowd boos as she walks around with a smirk on her face before pointing at her head and yelling loudly “I’m too smart for that”. Legion sneered and leaned over the rope to yell at Willow, but Hunter took the opportunity to hit Legion from behind with a hard forearm, she crumpled against the ropes and Hunter unleashed hard rights onto the back of her head over and over, Willow just smirks and folds her arms.

Rose: Willow Rainn is a genius, she’s standing outside letting Hunter Rowe do all the work.

Crumb: She can’t be counted out, she can’t be reprimanded, this is brilliant.

Nelson: But is it in the spirit of the match? Or the spirit of competition?

Rose: Hey part of competition is being smarter than your opponent or opponents.

Hunter pulls Legion to her feet and whips her into the ropes, he ducks down and goes for a back body drop, but Legion jumps and front flips over Hunter to her feet hitting the ropes herself for leverage, she leaps in the air and wraps Hunter's legs around Hunters head going for a flying head scissors, they spin around but Hunter uses his size and strength advantage to pull Legion back up into a powerbomb position and goes to drop her down but Legion locks her legs and delivers a few hard elbows to Hunter’s head dropping to her feet hitting a hard right, Hunter staggers and Legion hits the ropes again, this time Willow reaches in and trips Legion over before sliding in and blasting hunter with a bicycle kick that connects with his face sending the monster of a man back, Willow then grabs Legion who is down and throws her into Hunter, the collision causing Hunter to fall from the ring as Willow then kicks Legion in the stomach and hits a DDT. she then rolls Legion over for a pin.

One...

Two...

TH...Legion kicks out!

Nelson: Rainn has taken firm control now.

Crumb: She used Legion as a damn weapon!

Rose: That was smart and innovative.

Nelson: I’m just happy she has finally gotten involved in the match.

Hunter raises up and slides back in the ring, he tilts his head and runs at Willow for a clothesline, she ducks and Hunter instead hits the ropes and then drops an elbow on a still down Legion, Willow measures Hunter and as he gets up she grabs his shoulders and hits a Hurricanrana bringing Hunter down and on top of Legion with all his weight like a rolling senton. Willow smiles looking at the carnage she’s caused as Legion holds her chest in pain and Hunter has no idea where he is.Willow grabs a hold of Legion by the head and hits the bulldog start of “deadly poisoned kisses” but as she runs through she also hits Hunter withy a clothesline!, she then locks in the elevated boston crab end to deadly poisoned kisses on Legion pulling her legs back.

Crumb: HEY THIS COULD BE IT!

Rose: Wow what a genius move!

Nelson: She took out Rowe!

Willow pulls back and Legion has no choice but to tap.

Torres: The winner of this match...Willow Rainn!!!

Nelson: What a match! Rainn had a game plan and carried it out thoroughly.

Crumb: Yes she did.

Rose: Next!

Torres: The following is a LORD OF CHAOS TOURNAMENT: BRACKET TWO: ROUND ONE match scheduled for ONE FALL with a FIFTEEN MINUTE time limit!

With ”Mama Said Knock You Out” playing in the background Jessie walks out onto the stage and starts to bounce around trying to get loose. She waited for a few moments before she walked down and slaps hands with a few fans as she does this before she stops at the steps slapping the top of them before getting in the ring. She then get in and bounces around then if she is out on her own look at the entrance waiting for her opponents or if others are in the ring she looks on at them.

Nelson: Jessie Roberts is looking to make an impact in this tournament, hoping to move forward and possibly become the second person to hold both the Iconic Professional Wrestling singles championships.

Crumb: But if she manages to get past the first person who has done that, it’s going to be one hell of a tough road.

Rose: There is no way in hell that Jessie Roberts’ luck is going to come into play here. This is just too tough for her.

The lights go dark as "Miami Showdown" begins to play over the speakers. Multiple spotlights scatter throughout the arena before, one by one, unifying at the top of the stage. There, Aaron Kostan steps into the halo of light, a hood covering his head. "The Artist" stretches his arms out wide and takes a deep breath as he drinks in the crowd's cheers. For a moment, his lips move in silent prayer as he looks heavenward. Then, at the thirty second mark he finally drops his arms, throws back the hood, and beings to walk to the ring as the spotlight follows him. When he arrives he walks calmly up the steps and, with a final scan of the crowd, ducks between the top and middle ropes to enter the ring.

Nelson: Aaron Kostan has been the most dominant Iconic Professional Wrestling Television Champion as of late and even though his title is not on the line tonight, he has to be nervous about the target on his back.

Crumb: Aaron knows what it’s like to win a tournament and walk out of it with the IPW Heavyweight Championship.

Rose: Well he’s going to need a major miracle if he wants that to happen again.

Aaron and Jessie both glare at one another as the referee calls for the bell making the match officially underway.

DING DING DING!!

---Lord of Chaos Tournament: Bracket Two: Round One: “Hawkeye Warrior” Jessie Roberts vs. “The Artist” Aaron Kostan---

The two Icons cautiously approach one another in the center of the ring. They respectfully shake hands before grappling up and briefly struggle for the advantage. Aaron hits Jessie in the mouth with an elbow shot to knock her groggy. He then quickly pulls Jessie into a side headlock and briefly applies some pressure. When it looks as though Jessie is about to escape from Aaron’s grasp, Aaron takes Jessie down to the mat with a headlock takedown. Aaron keeps her grounded and continues to try and apply pressure. Jessie uses positioning to free herself from Aaron's grasp.

Both Icons pull themselves back up to their feet. Aaron tries to charge at Jessie to keep control, only to have her step forward and hit him with a roundhouse kick! Aaron crashes hard to the mat. Jessie quickly locks in a facelock! Aaron tries to quickly pull himself back up to his feet, but Jessie brings an end to that with a vicious knee strike!

Crumb: Compared to what we've seen in the past two matches in this tourney, this has been a lot more technical!

Nelson: They are both smart Icons and you have to respect that!

Rose: Pffftttttt!!

Aaron once again tries to pull himself back up to his feet, albeit much more slowly this time. Jessie tries to use this to her advantage as she shoves Aaron away and hits him with a series of knee strikes! Aaron tries to cover up his ribs. Jessie hits him in the mouth with an elbow! She then tries to hit Aaron with a spinning backfist, but he ducks underneath the attempt! Jessie quickly spins around and regains her sense of where she's at. Aaron uses the opening to hit her with a kick to the ribs. He follows it up with a second causing Jessie to double over in pain. Aaron pulls Jessie in and hoists her into the air for a butterfly suplex! He turns around to go for the cover, but Jessie has already rolled over toward the ropes to pull herself back up to her feet!

Aaron tries to close the gap between the two of them. Jessie steps forward and hits Aaron in the mouth with a hard kick! He stumbles back from the impact, Jessie running at him. Aaron tries to hit her with a clothesline. Jessie ducks underneath the attempt! She steps out onto the apron and waits for Aaron to turn around and face her---springboarding into the ring and delivering a missile dropkick!

Nelson: That was a very effective use of Roberts' speed!

Crumb: If she can keep this up, this match is going to be hers to win!

Rose: There are no guarantees that she manages to keep it up though! I mean, this is Jessie we’re talking about.

Aaron tries to drag himself back up to his feet as Jessie quickly closes the gap. Aaron hits Jessie with a European uppercut out of desperation! Jessie stumbles back from the impact, Aaron grabbing hold of her and trying to pull her in for another strike. Unfortunately for him, Jessie uses the opening to instead plant him on the mat with a float-over DDT!

The fans cheer as Jessie pulls herself back up to her feet. She positions herself near Aaron's head and pauses for a moment! She tries to hit Aaron with a capoeira leg drop! Aaron just barely rolls out of the way causing Jessie to hit the mat instead! She's slow to pull herself back up to her feet but nonetheless does so---only to walk right into a spinning backfist! Jessie drops down to a knee. Aaron launches her over his head with a belly-to-belly suplex!

Nelson: This has gotten a lot more hard hitting as the match continues.

Rose: That's because technical showcases might be nice, but they aren't how you win yourself the Lord of Chaos tournament!

Crumb: Rose is right! These two need to do everything they can to win!

Rose: Thanks but don’t EVER agree with me, Crumbbum!

Jessie uses the turnbuckle to pull herself back up to her feet. Aaron watches her do so with a smile on his face. Once Jessie is standing, Aaron charges, trying for a splash in the corner! Jessie ducks out of the way just in time! Aaron stumbles around as Jessie grabs him and rolls him up.

One...

Two...

THR...KICK OUT!!

Nelson: Close one there!

Aaron pulls himself back up to his feet. Jessie bounces off of the ropes to pick up speed, using the opening to try and hit Aaron with a somersault clothesline! Aaron ducks out of the way and Jessie hits the mat hard. She pulls herself back up to her feet. Aaron quickly grabs her and introduces her to his Finale (Argentine DDT)!

Crumb: WHAT CAN JESSIE ROBERTS BE THINKING AS SHE CRASHES TO THE MAT BY AARON KOSTAN’S FINALE?!?!

Rose: Probably, “that’s a stupid name for a finisher!”

Aaron pushes Jessie onto her back and covers.

One…

Two...

THREE!!

Torres: The winner of this match and moving onto the Semi-Final of the Lord of Chaos Tournament… “The Artist” Aaron Kostan!!!

Nelson: Roberts put up a spirited match but in the end Kostan was just too much for her.

Crumb: That’s why Aaron is my pick to take it all.

Rose: Well as long as it’s not Oliver Black anybody should win it.

Nelson: We still have A LOT more wrestling to get through before we get to all that. That being said, let us get into the next match.


Torres: The following is a LORD OF CHAOS TOURNAMENT: BRACKET TWO: ROUND ONE match as well as a ICONIC PRO WRESTLING HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP match! It is scheduled for ONE FALL with a THIRTY MINUTE time limit!

The opening line of "Bad Motherf*cker" By Machine Gun Kelly slams out through the speakers as Drake Jones steps out from the back, his ginger hair wet as he makes his way down to the ring talking trash as he looks around the ringside area. He slides up onto the ring apron and leans against the top rope before throwing his leg back and stepping into the ring.

Nelson: To say that Drake Jones has not been having a good run as of late would probably be the understatement of the century.

Crumb: He’s lost more matches than anyone else has and he’s done it consecutively… for the most part.

Rose: I’m just surprised that he still has a job considering. Why invest in someone that clearly can’t do his job?

Intro Riff of "ex's & oh's" cues as Purple strobe lights illuminate figure at the top of the ramp.Once the music picks up, Bliss tips her head back as the lights colour her face. She smiles wickedly before strutting down the ramp to a chorus of cheers. Once at the ring she She hops up on the apron, making a show of shaking her ass. She climbs in the ring, straddling the second rope seductively. Once in the ring she climbs the turnbuckle and holds her hands up in predetermined victory

Nelson: And here she comes… our NEW Iconic Professional Wrestling Heavyweight Champion, Bliss, is making her way down to the ring and to be honest, she looks a bit worried.

Crumb: She should be because the odds are pretty much stacked against her. She could lose her title in any of these matches… not necessarily the final should she make it.

Rose: It will be interesting to see if she will be leaving this tournament with the belt… that’s for sure.

The bell sounds, signaling the start of the match.

DING DING DING!!

---Lord of Chaos Tournament: Bracket Two: Round One: Iconic Professional Wrestling Heavyweight Championship Match: Drake Jones vs. Bliss---

Crumb: Hehee!

The crowd pops loudly for the somersault plancha! Drake gets back to his feet and grabs onto Bliss, lifting her and rolling her back into the ring. Drake slides into the ring and gets to his feet. He takes a second to look at down at Bliss and then performs a standing shooting star press!

Nelson: Quick kick out there!

Crumb: Bliss is still in this!

Torres: The following is a LORD OF CHAOS TOURNAMENT: BRACKET ONE: SEMI-FINAL ROUND match scheduled for ONE FALL with a FIFTEEN MINUTE time limit!

The electronic opening of Rammstein’s ”Deutschland” blares as Johanna Krieger slowly steps out from the back with no lights around her standing in the center of the stage as a white spotlight suddenly flickers on. She holds the insides of her jacket as she moves down towards the ring. Johanna runs up and slides across the ring apron on one knee holding the middle rope before sneering at the fans. She pulls herself up and slingshots herself through the ropes into the ring before spinning to the corner where she sits down.

Nelson: Johanna Krieger won her last match thanks to a timely distraction from Astrid Sedin leading to another pinfall victory over Stasi Herveaux.

Crumb: Had Astrid not come out… we might be seeing Herveaux vs. Black Two.

Rose: They’re all annoying so I don’t care.

The lights in the arena go out, the crowd pops as the pitch black twinkles with the light of cell phones. A slow melodic chime of reassembling a child's jack in the box plays through the speakers. A few lights flicker on stage, a guitar, base and drums all chim in slowly keeping beat with the creepy chimes. But then all goes silent.

NIGHTMARE!
(Now your nightmare comes to life.)

With the opening scream of "Nightmare" by Avenged Sevenfold echoes through the arena. The Nightmare Oliver Black pops up from a hole in the stage. The crowd erupts as Black stands center stage, black paint smeared under his eyes, a black nightmare bandana covering the lower half of his face.

Torres: Residing in Brooklyn New York... He is The Nightmare, Oliver Black!

With the announcement of his name the feathered shoulders of his entrance jacket burst open into a large pair of black wings! Oliver stands there a moment soaking in the crowd's reaction, before making his way to the ring.

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know
That you belong here, yeah
Ooh, it's your f*ckin' nightmare!

Nelson: I am not going to lie, I think that people have really been wanting to see these two go at it and now they have that chance.

Crumb: It is going to come down to the wire with these two and you and I know they’re both going to be giving it their all.

Rose: They’re both a couple of egotistical maniacs and so they need to win this or who knows, Johanna might go crying on Twitter again.

The referee looks at both Icons to make sure they're ready before calling for the bell, making the match now officially underway.

DING DING DING!!!

---Lord of Chaos Tournament: Bracket One: Semi-Final Round: Johanna Krieger vs. “The Nightmare” Oliver Black---

Johanna runs across the ring and blasts Oliver in the mouth with a hard right hand. She follows it up with a second causing Oliver to stagger back to the ropes. Johanna grabs Oliver and tries to shoot him across the ring. Oliver reverses the attempt and waits for Johanna to come back on the rebound, unfortunately getting hit with a shoulder block for his efforts! Oliver stumbles up to his feet and tries to recover, Johanna hoisting him into the air and letting Oliver hang there for a moment. She then slams him down to the mat with a vertical suplex!

Nelson: If there is one thing about Johanna Krieger that cannot be denied, it is that she is a strong, strong woman!

Rose: A bit of an understatement, actually...Johanna is VERY strong, all things considered…

Crumb: Mentally and physically strong. All those years as a police officer really made her tough.

The Nightmare pulls himself back up to his feet and backs up to a turnbuckle, resting against it and seemingly trying to think of how he wants to bring the fight to Johanna. The German Ruger once again doesn't seem to be concerned with Oliver's plans---running forward and hitting Oliver with a clothesline in the corner! Oliver staggers out of the corner and tries to catch his breath. Johanna connects with a kick to the ribs and then pulls Oliver in. She lifts him into the air and slams him to the mat with a gutwrench suplex! Oliver again tries to pull himself back up to his feet---only to have Johanna cut him off with a running boot to the head! She covers.

Two...

TH...KICK OUT!

Crumb: That was so close! So close!

Rose: Damn it, man! Come on, Johanna!

Johanna grabs Oliver and begins to pound away on his back to wear him down further. The Nightmare tries to fight back with a few punches of his own, but Johanna responds by driving her knee into Oliver's ribs. She tries to power Oliver into position for a powerbomb. Oliver fights out of Johanna's grasp with a few right hands as the fans rise to their feet. Oliver grabs Johanna from behind and lifts her off of the mat, slamming her down to the mat with a belly-to-back suplex! Johanna rolls over toward the ropes and uses them to pull herself back up to her feet. Oliver quickly closes the gap and begins to deliver a series of right hands, the fans cheering for each one that connects. Oliver tries to pull Johanna in toward him for a clothesline, but Johanna ducks underneath it! Johanna powers Oliver into the air, but Oliver lands on his feet behind her. Johanna turns around to face Oliver, only to get kicked in the ribs and planted on the mat with a DDT!

Nelson: That is exactly the kind of momentum shift that Black needed to get back in this match!

Rose: There are only so many shots that he can take from someone as strong as Johanna!

Johanna tries to make it back up to her feet, though she's clearly feeling the effects of the DDT. The fans cheer loudly as Oliver grabs Johanna and tries to get her into position for a headlock bulldog. Johanna blocks the attempt and hits Oliver in the mouth with an elbow smash! Oliver barely remains on his feet. Johanna charges and gets caught with a dropkick! Oliver bounces off of the ropes and upon his return tries for an elbow drop. Johanna rolls out of the way just before Oliver can connect!

Johanna grabs Oliver and tries to drag him back up to his feet. She sets him up for a bearhug, but Oliver frees himself from Johanna's grasp! He charges at Johanna and tries to hit her with a clothesline---only to walk into one from his opponent!

Nelson: Krieger has definitely done a lot of damage to Black tonight!

Crumb: That she has and you have to imagine that's going to make a difference later in the show!

Rose: Assuming Oliver wins...

Once again, Johanna grabs Oliver. Before she can wrestle him into position for anything, Oliver is able to counter into his Darkness Falling (single knee facebreaker)!

Crumb: WHAT CAN JOHANNA KRIEGER BE THINKING AS OLIVER BLACK DROPS HER WITH HIS DARKNESS FALLING?!?!

Rose: Probably, “arschloch!”

The fans are on their feet as Oliver hooks the leg and goes for the cover.

One…

Two...

THREE!!!

Torres: The winner of this match and moving onto the Final of the Lord of Chaos Tournament...Oliver Black!!!

Nelson: Oliver Black is in the finals!

Rose: Goddamnit! Why, wrestling gods,why?!

Torres: The following is a LORD OF CHAOS TOURNAMENT: BRACKET TWO: SEMI-FINAL ROUND match as well as a ICONIC PRO WRESTLING HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP match! It is scheduled for ONE FALL with a THIRTY MINUTE time limit!

The lights go dark as "Miami Showdown" begins to play over the speakers. Multiple spotlights scatter throughout the arena before, one by one, unifying at the top of the stage. There, Aaron Kostan steps into the halo of light, a hood covering his head. "The Artist" stretches his arms out wide and takes a deep breath as he drinks in the crowd's cheers. For a moment, his lips move in silent prayer as he looks heavenward. Then, at the thirty second mark he finally drops his arms, throws back the hood, and beings to walk to the ring as the spotlight follows him. When he arrives he walks calmly up the steps and, with a final scan of the crowd, ducks between the top and middle ropes to enter the ring.

Nelson: Aaron Kostan is beaming with confidence after getting that victory against Jessie Roberts earlier in the first round.

Crumb: Could he wind up holding both titles at the end of this match?

Rose: I don’t know… I don’t care… I just hope that it’s not a boring match.

Intro Riff of "ex's & oh's" cues as Purple strobe lights illuminate figure at the top of the ramp.Once the music picks up, Bliss tips her head back as the lights colour her face. She smiles wickedly before strutting down the ramp to a chorus of cheers. Once at the ring she She hops up on the apron, making a show of shaking her ass. She climbs in the ring, straddling the second rope seductively. Once in the ring she climbs the turnbuckle and holds her hands up in predetermined victory

Nelson: I am not going to lie, Bliss got it relatively easy in her first match but this one is not going to go as smoothly.

Crumb: Bliss had better come prepared for this champion versus champion match because Aaron Kostan is looking for that second reign.

Rose: Maybe Stasi will come out and help Bliss win again like she did in the match against Oliver Black?

Crumb: Oh, do you think Stasi and Bliss are in cahoots?

Bliss smirks as The Artist remains focused. The two Champions look at one another as the referee calls for the bell making the match officially underway.

DING DING DING!!!

---Lord of Chaos Tournament: Bracket Two: Semi-Final Round: Iconic Professional Wrestling Heavyweight Championship Match: “The Artist” Aaron Kostan vs. Bliss---

Aaron delivers a second kick as the Heavyweight Champ's eyes go wide in pain. Aaron steps forward and begins to deliver a series of European uppercuts to knock Bliss back. She grabs the ropes and tries to keep the momentum on her side. Aaron glares at her for a moment before charging forward---unfortunately getting kicked in the jaw for his efforts!

Rose: That is absolutely an opening that Aaron can take advantage of!

Bliss stumbles over toward the corner as Aaron Kostan charges in at her and tries to catch her with an uppercut in the corner! Bliss ducks through the ropes and dodges the attempt. Aaron crashes into the turnbuckle before Bliss catches him with a sunset flip into a cover.

One…

TH...KICK OUT!

Frustrated, Aaron pops back up to his feet. Shaking his head, he charges at Bliss---only to get rolled up into a small package.

One…

Two...

Nelson: Of course, if Bliss catches him with one of those she will have a fighting chance.

The crowd is going wild as Bliss just barely gets a finger on the ropes---the referee calling for Aaron to break the hold! Aaron keeps it applied for just a moment before letting go.

Nelson: That may have done a lot of damage, even if it did not win the match.

Rose: Aaron's being smart and I respect that!

Chaos “I’m Better Than You” fades in from commercial on the Iconic ring that has a small black pedestal sitting in the center.

Rose: So what is this about, Patticake?

Crumb: I thought the format says this was going to be a double commercial?

Nelson: We are about to find out. Right now...

“American Woman” by Lenny Kravitz begins to blast throughout the Iconic Arena as Brooklyn Holloway comes waltzing out from the backstage area with a huge smile upon her face and a black bag hanging down from the crook of her elbow. She ignores the fans as the boos rain down as hard as a torrential downpour storm.

Crumb: WHAT CAN EVERYONE BE THINKING AS CO-OWNER BROOKLYN HOLLOWAY IS MAKING HER WAY OUT TO THE RING?!?!

Rose: Probably, “this bitch has the audacity to show her face after what she authorized at the last Chaos!”

Walking up the steel ringsteps, Brooklyn retrieves a microphone from a ringside crew member before stepping through the ring ropes and setting the bag atop the pedestal. It seems that the booing gets louder as Brooklyn turns around and raises the microphone up to her lips.

Brooklyn: On the last edition of Chaos, I put forth a vote of no confidence to oust Joshua Samson, Esquire because of his clear lack of care about the Iconic Pro Wrestling roster except for a select few. He threw favor towards those that planted their lips to his ass cheeks and ignored those that put their heart and soul into this company, punishing those that he deems a thorn in his side with over the top rulings while also ignoring the same actions by others.

Nelson: That seemed to be a big part of Holloway’s argument into putting forth the vote last Chaos.

Crumb: And what Stasi has been preaching for weeks.

Brooklyn: And last Chaos… everything came to a head when he tried to fire a woman who’s done nothing but try to expose the truth for what it is. I applaud Stasi Herveaux for taking the situation into her own hands, having waited weeks and month and wading through knee deep crap that was thrown her way by Mr. Samson.

Crowd: WE WANT JOSHUA! *clapclapclapclapclap* WE WANT JOSHUA!

Brooklyn: Even though I didn’t get the votes that I needed and wanted, we still managed to rid IPW of Samson when Stasi showed everyone her true power after months of being shoved aside. So I think it is time she be rewarded. Stasi… would you please come out here?

The fans booed loudly as “The Downfall of Us All” by A Day to Remember starts playing for the second time in the show. Stasi Herveaux comes out from the backstage area, hands being held behind her back, as she’s flanked by The Headhunters, Dexter and Eric Calloway, who are dressed in what looks like black suit jackets with the sleeves ripped off.

Nelson: Well Stasi Herveaux seems to be all smiles, though one can only wonder how she is feeling.

Crumb: Given the fact that she was put through the ringer with Johanna and then post match by Astrid Sedin…

Rose: I just want to know what the hell is going on here right now?

Dexter and Eric sit on the middle rope, allowing Stasi to enter the ring with ease before she walks over to Brooklyn, standing so that the pedestal was between the two of them.

Crowd: F*CK YOU, STASI! *clapclaplapclapclap* F*CK YOU, STASI!

Smirking, Stasi shoots the bird to the collective crowd before giving her attention back to Brooklyn.

Brooklyn: Now Stasi, I know that you’ve been dealing with hell in a handbasket over the past couple of months, being forced to come to me a couple weeks ago when you were last suspended unjustly. So I think that it is time your dedication to making IPW what it is be rewarded. Gentlemen… if you please?

Dexter and Eric each take a place on one side of the pedestal as Dexter holds the bag and Eric pulls out what looks to be a title belt. Stasi’s eyes widen like a child on christmas day, dazzled by the appearance of the black leather belt with dark silver plates and purple accents.

Brooklyn: May I introduce you all to the Real Championship. This is something I’ve been working on for weeks with Stasi in mind. She calls herself the REAL CHAMPION and now… she is one. This is for all your hard work and congratulations. Take it… it’s yours and you earned it.

Smiling, Stasi takes the belt and lets her fingers dance over the metal, over her initials on the side plates. The fans begin to boo very loudly as she thrusts the belt into the air, her theme song beginning to play again.

Stasi: I AM THE REAL CHAMPION, BITCHES!

Crumb: WHAT CAN EVERYONE BE THINKING AS STASI HERVEAUX HAS BEEN GIFTED A CHAMPIONSHIP BELT BY BROOKLYN HOLLOWAY?!?!

Rose: Probably, “Surely that isn’t a real IPW title?!”

Nelson: I am not sure about this one, guys. We might have to wait to find out if this is a legitimate championship recognized by Iconic Professional Wrestling or not.

Walking over to the ropes, she steps on the bottom and middle ropes, still holding the title above her head and celebrating. That celebrating is brought to a halt as her theme is replaced by the haunting beginnings of “Alone In A Room” by Asking Alexandria.

Crumb: HERE COMES TROUBLE!

Astrid Sedin, kendo stick in hand, comes charging down from the backstage area and makes a beeline for the ring, sliding into the ring. Dexter is the first to get whacked over the head with the kendo stick that sends him down to the mat. Eric receives a blow to the gut that causes him to match his brother’s position on the canvas.

Nelson: Sedin is clearing house in the ring!

Rose: What in the hell?!

Pure hatred in her eyes, Astrid looks at Brooklyn and Stasi. Raising the kendo stick above her head, she charges forward at the two women. Stasi stands her ground bracing for a fight, but Brooklyn grabs her as she drops to the mat and pulls Stasi out the ring along with her.

Nelson: Holloway and Herveaux hightail it out of the ring looking for safer ground!

Rose: Don’t get it twisted though, Patrick. Stasi was ready to beat the brakes off of ASStrid but Brooklyn thought it better to fight another day.

Crumb: That’s what you call it?

Rose: That’s right. Stasi and Brooklyn have already proven their point. You can bet ASStrid will get hers in the coming days!

Brooklyn pulls an angry Stasi up the ramp as they both look up at Astrid in the ring. Astrid jumps out of the ring and gives chase to the retreating duo.

Nelson: We will be right back, ladies and gentlemen.

Coming July 2019

Torres: The following is a LORD OF CHAOS TOURNAMENT: FINAL ROUND match as well as a ICONIC PRO WRESTLING HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP match! It is scheduled for ONE FALL with a THIRTY MINUTE time limit!

The lights in the arena go out, the crowd pops as the pitch black twinkles with the light of cell phones. A slow melodic chime of reassembling a child's jack in the box plays through the speakers. A few lights flicker on stage, a guitar, base and drums all chim in slowly keeping beat with the creepy chimes. But then all goes silent.

NIGHTMARE!
(Now your nightmare comes to life.)

With the opening scream of "Nightmare" by Avenged Sevenfold echoes through the arena. The Nightmare Oliver Black pops up from a hole in the stage. The crowd erupts as Black stands center stage, black paint smeared under his eyes, a black nightmare bandana covering the lower half of his face.

Torres: Residing in Brooklyn New York... He is The Nightmare, Oliver Black!

With the announcement of his name the feathered shoulders of his entrance jacket burst open into a large pair of black wings! Oliver stands their a moment soaking in the crowds reaction, before making his way to the ring.

You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know
That you belong here, yeah
Ooh, it's your f*ckin' nightmare!

Nelson: I wonder if this is going to count as Black’s rematch for the Heavyweight Championship?

Crumb: I have no clue but what I do know is that he’s wanting to regain that title after what Stasi Herveaux did to cause him to lose it.

Rose: Why? She in a way saved us for having to suffer any longer with his boring title reign. Pretty sure Bliss has defended it more in one night than Oliver has the entire boring ass reign of his.

Intro Riff of "ex's & oh's" cues as Purple strobe lights illuminate figure at the top of the ramp.Once the music picks up, Bliss tips her head back as the lights colour her face. She smiles wickedly before limping down the ramp to a chorus of cheers. Once at the ring she She gingerly hops up on the apron, making a show of shaking her ass. She climbs in the ring, straddling the second rope seductively. Once in the ring she climbs the turnbuckle and holds her hands up in predetermined victory

Nelson: Dare I say it...this Lady Icon has had an AMAZING performance thus far?

Rose: I hate you...and besides, this woman is also wrestling on one good leg...

Crumb: That's true…

Rose: What did I tell you about agreeing with me?!

The Heavyweight Champ watches the ex-Heavyweight Champ with caution. She steps toward the middle of the ring and offers Oliver Black a handshake. Oliver looks at her extended hand before turning up his nose and waving her off.

Nelson: I am not quite sure what to make of this.

Crumb: At first I was like um… then I was like… well there’s the real Oliver.

Rose: *rolls eyes*

The two Icons stare each other down as the referee calls for the bell making the match officially underway.

DING DING DING!!!

---Lord of Chaos Tournament: Final Round: Iconic Professional Wrestling Heavyweight Championship Match: “The Nightmare” Oliver Black vs. Bliss---

Bliss and Oliver circle around one another, the two of them trying not to show any signs of weakness to the other. When an opening doesn't appear, the two finally meet in the center of the ring and grapple up. There is a brief struggle for the advantage, which Oliver is able to gain. He shoves Bliss back against the ropes and nails her with two quick chops to the chest before shooting her across the ring.

Crowd: WOOO! WOOO!

Oliver steps toward the middle of the ring to meet Bliss, lifting her into the air and slamming her down to the mat with a back body drop! Bliss hits the canvas hard but nonetheless pulls herself back up to her feet. Once Bliss is standing, Oliver runs and tries to hit Bliss with a clothesline---only to have Bliss leap into the air and send Oliver crashing to the mat with a spinning wheel kick! Both Icons crash to the mat. Bliss briefly winces but ignores the pain. She grabs Oliver and starts to drag him up to his feet.

Nelson: It is interesting that both of these two are not showing any signs of weakness early on.

Rose: There's been some time since their last matches, so the two of them are probably trying to convince themselves AND their opponents that they're fine! But if you actually watch their body language, they're not.

Crumb: Some actual wrestling insight from Rose Marie, ladies and gentlemen!

Rose: Shaddup!

Once Bliss has Oliver back up to a vertical base, she steps forward and delivers some quick forearm strikes! The impact of the strikes sends Oliver stumbling. Bliss pulls Oliver in and tries to get him into position for a swinging neckbreaker! Oliver spins out of it and keeps his grip on Bliss from behind. He tries to hoist her into the air for a belly-to-back suplex. Bliss flips out of it and lands on her feet behind Oliver! Her knee immediately buckles. Bliss tries to ignore it but drops down because of the pain. Oliver turns around and smiles evilly, grabbing hold of the Heavyweight Champ and planting her on the mat with a DDT! He hooks the leg and goes for the cover.

One…

Two...

TH...KICK OUT!

Rose: You see what I mean? Normally, Bliss would've been able to roll with that reversal and take control, but instead...

Crumb: She's trying to fight back in it still!

Bliss rolls over toward the ropes and grabs hold of them. Oliver closes the gap quickly and hits Bliss with a few right hands to knock her groggy. Oliver then drags Bliss over toward the middle of the ring and lifts her into the air for a butterfly suplex! Bliss hits the mat hard but wisely rolls over toward the turnbuckle. She grabs it and tries to pull herself back up to her feet. Oliver watches for a moment before shaking his head. The fans begin a "You Suck" chant as Oliver builds up as much speed as he can before throwing himself into the corner for a cannonball splash, trying to crush Bliss against the turnbuckle! Bliss sees it coming and uses her arms to lift her body in the air, causing Oliver to crash hard into the turnbuckle instead! He lays on the mat, staring up at the lights, as the Heavyweight Champ shows off her athleticism and effortlessly pulls herself up to the top rope.

Crumb: That could have been big for Black!

Nelson: But instead, that might end up being the shift in momentum that Bliss needs!

Rose: That punk Oliver might not be suffering from an easily defined injury like Bliss right now, but...he's beat up...

Bliss takes a moment to steady herself, trying to hide the fact that she's gritting her teeth. She then leaps off of the top rope and lands on Oliver Black with a double stomp! The fans cheer as Bliss hits the mat hard. Her eyes go wide in pain as she needs a second to recover before hooking the leg and covering.

One…

Two...

THR...KICK OUT!

Crumb: If Bliss' leg was in better shape...

Rose: This is fun! Each one of them needs to hit their opponent with the big shots if they want to win, and yet...

Nelson: Each big shot puts them at risk of hurting themselves!

The Heavyweight Champ grabs the ropes and pulls herself back up to her feet. Oliver does the same a few moments later. Bliss closes the gap and hits Oliver with a few quick kicks utilizing her good leg! Oliver stumbles back from the impact. Bliss shakes her head and charges at Oliver. She leaps into the air for a hurricanrana, but Oliver catches her and slams her down to the mat with a powerbomb! The fans boo as Oliver covers.

One…

Two...

THR...KICK OUT!

Oliver nods his head as he realizes just how much fight Bliss has left to give. Oliver grabs Bliss and pulls her back up to her feet. He grabs her bad leg and tries to get her into position for a dragon screw leg whip. Bliss blocks the attempt and manages to catch Oliver with a knee strike! He releases the hold and backs up a bit, but quickly recovers and drives his knee into Bliss' ribs! Bliss doubles over in pain. Oliver grabs and lifts her into the air, delivering a knee breaker! Bliss' eyes go wide in pain as she stumbles back to the nearest turnbuckle. Oliver charges at her and crushes Bliss against in the corner with a splash! He then grabs Bliss and sets her up for a bulldog. Bliss gets planted on the mat in the middle of the ring and rolls over. Oliver's eyes suddenly going wide with excitement!

Nelson: Bliss in a precarious position here!

Oliver runs and springboards off of the second rope in an attempt to perform The Shadows (lionsault). At the last possible second, Bliss moves out of the way and Oliver crashes to the canvas! Bliss quickly pushes him onto his back and covers.

One...

Two...

THRE...KICK OUT!

Crumb: This match is going to give me a heart attack!

Rose: You shouldn’t make promises you can’t keep...

Both Icons pull themselves back up to their feet. Bliss kicks Oliver in the jaw with a superkick that sends him crumbling to the mat. Oliver looks out of it as Bliss considers going for the cover but instead pauses. She steps out onto the apron and lines herself up with Oliver. She launches herself over the ropes and lands on Oliver with a slingshot legdrop into a cover.

One…

Two...

THREE!!

Crumb: KICK OUT! KICK OUT!

Rose: Oh wow, I thought that was it!

Nelson: So did everyone in the Iconic Arena! So did Bliss!

Bliss looks up at the lights in disappointment for a moment before dragging herself back up to her feet. She grabs Oliver and does the same. She grabs his hand and looks as if she's considering going for an Irish whip, but Oliver kicks her hard in the leg causing her to collapse! Bliss clutches at her leg as Oliver pulls her up to her feet and tries to set her up for an urinage. Bliss spins out of it and blasts Oliver with a standing dropkick! Oliver crashes to the mat and has half of his body positioned through the ropes as The Heavyweight Champ looks at him defeated.

Nelson: Bliss could possibly end this match here if she hits her Divine Salvation!

Crumb: She has successfully won a match tonight already with the move!

Rose: What is she thinking?! Hit the damn move and send that punk Oliver packing! I don’t ask for much in life.

Perhaps thinking about her injured leg, Bliss grabs Oliver and tries to drag him toward the middle of the ring, but her leg gives out halfway through. Bliss ignores it and takes a moment to recover before hooking the leg for a cover.

One...

Two...

THRE...KICK OUT!

Nelson: Bliss had him there! If she just could have gotten him away from the ropes a bit quicker!

Crowd: IPW! IPW! IPW!

Bliss sighs heavily as she waits for a groggily Oliver Black to pull himself back up to his feet. Once Oliver is up, Bliss grabs him and delivers a few quick strikes! She tries to finish off the combo with another superkick, but Oliver grabs her leg and drops down to the mat. He quickly focuses his attention on the opposite leg and locks in a single-legged crab! While the technique isn't great due to Oliver’s own fatigue, the pain is---Bliss screaming out and desperately trying to reach for the ropes!

Crumb: This may be it!

Nelson: I haven’t known Bliss to tap in her long career, but...she is in pain right now!

Rose: And people can only handle so much pain!

Bliss desperately tries to crawl toward the ropes as Oliver tries his best to do as much damage! Bliss reaches out and just barely gets her fingertip on the ropes! Oliver pulls her away a bit as Bliss desperately looks like she's going to consider tapping.

Rose: I swear if this chick taps to punk ass Oliver, I’ll get in that ring and beat her ass myself!

Nelson: Calm down, Rose Marie. You’ve been retired for too long.

Crumb: Bliss is holding on for dear life!

Bliss shakes her head and grits her teeth, the fans cheering her on. Bliss once again reaches out and tries to grab hold of the ropes, this time succeeding! She lets out a sigh of relief as the referee forces Oliver to break the hold!

Nelson: Oh wow!

Wasting no time, Oliver grabs Bliss up into position and immediately tries to send her to the mat with a Darkness Falling (single knee facebreaker)! Bliss blocks the attempt and Oliver crashes to the mat. Bliss quickly grabs his legs and rolls him up.

One…

Two...

THRE...KICK OUT!

Crumb: WHAT CAN EVERYONE BE THINKING AS BLISS WAS A MILLISECOND AWAY FROM RETAINING HER HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AND BECOME THE FIRST EVER LADY OF CHAOS?!?!

Oliver stumbles back up to his feet. Bliss closes the gap and hits Oliver with a series of knee strikes! Blow after blow connects as Oliver stumbles back to a turnbuckle. He grabs hold of them to keep himself upright. The Heavyweight Champ glares at him for a moment before leaping into the air and hitting Oliver in the mouth with a knee strike! He stumbles out of the corner as Bliss tries to plant her leg for a chick kick! She pauses for a moment due to the pain and that instant Oliver delivers a clothesline! He slowly drags her up to her feet, hitting a second ripcord clothesline!

Nelson: This tournament has hurt both of these Icons.

Crumb: Someone's going to have to dig deep and figure it out!

Rose: The Heavyweight title and being forever named as Lord of the Chaos should be all the motivation need.

Clearly exhausted and in pain, Oliver again brings Bliss back up to her feet. He tries for a third clothesline, but he hesitates long enough that Bliss is able to duck underneath it! Bliss delivers a huge dropkick that sends Oliver into the ropes, resting between the second and top one. Bliss crashes to the mat and immediately grabs at her aching leg.

Crumb: I don’t think Bliss can go on any longer! That leg could be seriously injured, guys!

Nelson: Crumb may be right. A lot is on the line but is it worth risking one’s health and well-being?

Rose: Uh...hell yeah!

Fighting through the pain, Bliss gets to her feet. Eyeing Oliver still between the ropes, Bliss rushes as best and fast as she can forward and connects with her Divine Salvation (tiger feint kick)!

Crumb: THAT’S IT! THAT’S IT!

Nelson: BLISS ONLY NEEDS TO COVER!

Rose: COME ON, BLONDIE!

Bliss collapses on top of Oliver, hooking the leg for the cover.

One…

Two...

THREE!!!!

Torres: The winner of this match...the 2019 Lady of Chaos...AND STILL Iconic Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion….Bliss!!!

Nelson: Talk about a match!

Crumb: These two both gave it their all!

The fans give both Icons a standing ovation for their efforts. The referee helps Bliss back up to her feet and hands her the Heavyweight title belt. EMTs rush down to the ring as Chaos “I’m Better Than You” fades to the credits.
