The Card
Commentary: Alex Smith (play-by-play), Alex Bradford (color)
Promoter: Danny Stevenson
Authority: Danny Stevenson, Drew Stevenson, Giant
(Match Order/Card Subject to Change)
Chad Vargas Vs LeBroc Harris
Chad didn't have the best of luck in the battle royal at US8 but he's sure to bounce back when the camera's are rolling. In the mean time he competes for the live audience against a man who did do considerably well, especially in his debut, LeBroc Harris. A man known very well by the Missouri fans.
Dark Match
James Peterson Vs Braiden McCain
James Peterson looks to make his in-ring debut (non televised) here tonight to see how well he clicks with the audience; and against a man that just hasn't had much luck as of late but is looking to get back on that train that he had going for him in Florida.
Dark Match
Matt "The Magician" Michaels vs Giovanni De Falco
The Magician dazzled the MSW fans in his debut in the battle royal and opened a lot of eyes by lasting deep into the match. This week he gets to show the live crowd what he can do in singles competition.
Women of Tradition Singles Contest
Over twitter just about a week and a half ago, Artemis Kaiser, the sister of the Von Licht Family, said that she wanted Shawna because she wanted a chance to prove herself. Shawna and Tamara Rose had a heck of a match and now it's Artemis' turn. She couldn't quite get the gauntlet match that she wanted but we did her one better, a 1 on 1 non title against the champion.
Apocalypse (Dante & Virgil) Vs Johnny B. & Yugo Phailous
The next round has started. Bonecrusher and Yugo, this odd duo surpassed another odd duo of Pornstar Ron & St. Tuck to move on to round 2, where-as The Apocalypse had a bit more challenge on their hands against the established Blackwells, but not even the Blackwells could withstand "Hail The Apocalypse" that brutal high-low finisher of theirs. And so now these two teams clash to see who makes it to the final round.
Singles Match
Steve Thunder Vs Jorge Santos
Steve Thunder had a great showing in the battle royal, unfortunately it didn't end up in his favor but that's not all bad because he got to show the MSW Fans just who the heck Steve Thunder is. So with that being said, Danny felt it to give him a one on one debut and he takes on Jorge Santos!
Singles Match
Daniel Bane w/ Roman Gold Vs Stefan Wallace w/ Deacon Cash
Daniel Bane... the monster of the Gentlemen's club eliminating three men in the battle royal with pure ease takes on the muscle of Southern Pride, Stefan Wallace. This is sure to be a clash of power, we'll see who gets the upper hand.
Singles Match
Scotty Addams Vs Leo Banks
Don't you just love social media? We do. But that's not exactly where this all stems from. Leo Banks is a rich kid with a whole lot of arrogance and he's definitely not afraid to flaunt it. He hasn't exactly been on the biggest winning streak lately but as long as he still has his money he's not worried about it. But against Scotty Addams, ring veteran and current ICWA Heavyweight Champion he might want to be. The two had an exchange of words over twitter and reportedly have even had some words backstage as well so Scotty does what any fighting champion does: he went to Danny Stevenson and requested a match and it was granted.
Catherine Williamson & Tamara Rose Vs Marie Porter & Kat
One month ago, Catherine Williamson made her return to MSW, but her in-ring debut as a competitor. She picked up an impressive victory but found herself in the cross-hairs of the first lady of MSW, Kat. But here is where things get interesting. Instead of scheduling a 1 on 1, Justin "Giant" wanted to make things interesting and make a tag team match out of it since we're in the theme of tag team wrestling right now. Catherine Williamson teams up with newcomer Tamara Rose who didn't have the best of luck at US8 but looks to bounce back. On the other side of the ring? The bubbly Marie Porter teams with nemesis Kat. How will this team fare? Tune in and find out.
MAIN EVENT
Tag Team Championship Tournament Match Round 2
Gentlemen's Club (TJ Bryce & Roman Gold) Vs Frank Washington & Robert Garland
Pulling the reigns?
LeBroc Harris Def. Chad Vargas
James Peterson Def. Braiden McCain
Smith: Absolutely, Bradford! We conclude the Semi-Finals of the tournament to see who goes onto Back to Basics to contend for the Tag Team Championships, Shawna Martinez and Bryce Manning are in non-title action, Steve Thunder makes his one on one debut, Marie Porter and Kat team up and Scotty Addams returns for the first time since Unstoppable #1 to take on Leo Banks! I don't know about you Bradford but I am super excited for tonight! And I hear Danny Stevenson has a huge announcement planned as well! Man I can barely stay in my seat!
Bradford: Calm down! Contain yourself Smith, we've got a show to call!
Smith: I'll try, Bradford, big things are on the way as we're just under a month away from our second Supershow, Back to Basics!
Danny: Drew, son, I wanted ta talk ta ya.
Drew: Sure, what’s going on?
Danny: Ya seem ta have a connection with tha people, with tha boys an’ girls in tha back and I see how much that they respect ya. I’d like fer ya ta take over more on the business side if you will, do more of tha talking, more of tha interaction.
Looking stunned, Drew nods.
Drew: Sure, if that’s what you want!
Danny: Ya have made all of us very proud and you are tha perfect spokesman for Missouri State Wrasslin’.
Drew: Thank you very much, I won’t let you down, you have my word on that!
Danny: I know ya won’t son!
Artemis Kaiser vs Shawna Martinez
Following the backstage moment between Danny and Drew, we cut out to ringside for the
Barbara Braman: The following non-title match is scheduled for one fall!
...The light in the arena suddenly goes out, when the first notes of 'Handwritten' by the Gaslight Anthem hit. With the crowd jumping from their seats, there is a single red spot falling onto the top of the entrance ramp. Moments later the well build Amazon- like Shawna Martinez steps out wearing the MSW Women’s Championship around her waist. With the fans erupting in loud cheering she starts to walk down the ramp. Touching some hands, giving the crowd what they were looking for. The Italian Beauty removes the belt form her waist and poses for a few seconds in front of the ring, before finally entering.- taking a seat on the turnbuckle.
Barbara Braman: Introducing first, from New York City she is the MSW Women’s Champion… Shawna Martinez!
Smith: Welcome back to Unstoppable. Tonight we have a stacked card but one of the matches I think many fans are looking forward to tonight is this non-title match between Shawna Martinez and Artemis Kaiser.
Bradford: The Evil Empress already showed MSW what she’s made of when she concussed Helen Hirano and if he gets her way she’s going to become “Champion for Life” sooner or later. She has one hell of a future if her debut is any indication and I have a feeling Shawna Martinez is going to have her work cut out for her tonight.
Smith: Shawna Martinez is the champion for a reason though; she went through four other women to qualify for Best of the Best and then outlasted Kat and Marie Porter to become the champion. She’s the measuring stick and the Woman of Tradition to beat right now, just ask Tamara if you don’t believe in her.
Bradford: But an upset can happen at any time and tonight I smell an upset special.
She raises both her arms holding the MSW Women’s Championship up high before sliding off in a very graceful manner.
"I've been drawn into your magnet tar-pit trap"
"I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black"
The lights dim down, while the intro of Heart Shaped Box lightly plays. As the fourth line begins to play, Artemis comes out from the curtain, keeping her head down. Her hands are together, carrying something. 
"I've got a new complaint"
She throws up whatever she is holding; a cloud of smoke seemingly comes out of her hands (it's a powder of sorts). When the music picks, she begins to make her way down to the ring, making gestures towards the crowd. As she makes her way to the ring, she circles it once watching her opponent, making fun of her as she circles. She hops onto the side of the ring and enters.
Barbara Braman: And her opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada… Artemis Kaiser!
She then gets onto one of the turnbuckles, stretching her arms out and roaring out. She then gets off the turnbuckle and gazes among the crowd. Artemis then calls for a microphone from ringside and snatches it from a member of the ring crew.
Artemis Kaiser: You know, let’s just cut to the chase. You say that your door is always open and all I have to do is knock? Why don’t you put your mouth where your money is? If you’re as good as you say you’ll put your belt on the line right here and right now!
Smith: Artemis is goading the Champion into a title match! I think she should wait her turn if you ask me.
Bradford: If you’re the champion you have an obligation to prove to the world why you’re the very best in your division. A fighting champion takes on all comers and you heard the champion yourself, all Artemis has to do is ask!
Shawna Martinez: You’re on!
Barbara Braman: This match is now for the MSW Women’s Championship!
Both women touch the belt before the referee holds the belt up for the crowd to see. Finally he calls for the bell after handing the belt off to the time keeper and neither person wastes any time going after the other. Shawna and Artemis exchange a series of punches and kicks as Shawna looks to go toe to toe with the challenger in her natural element. Artemis gets the upperhand with a flurry of kicks that catches the champion off guard and backs her up into a corner. Artemis shoots off a series of stiff chops to the chest of the champion as the crowd responds in kind.
The referee wastes no time calling for a quick break and begins his count.
2!
3!
4!
Artemis quickly throws her hands up before the count of 5 but in the brief opening Shawna grabbed her by the back of her hair and slammed her into the turnbuckle pad! Shawna quickly returns the favor with a series of punches to the head and slaps to the chest.
The referee now seeing the tables reversed quickly went to enforce the 5 count on Shawna as well playing it very by the book for this impromptu title match.
2!
3!
Shawna obliges with the break as Artemis tries to shake the cobwebs out having been momentarily stunned by the roaring assault from the champion. Artemis goes to shoot a stiff roundhouse kick at Shawna going for a quick knockout blow but the champion had it scouted and counters with a bridging dragon suplex!
2!
Thre/KICKOUT!
Smith: Artemis went for the same roundhouse kick that stunned Helen Hirano before hitting that devastating DMD package piledriver but couldn’t cash in on the combo twice. It’s going to take more than that to take the champion out.
Bradford: She’s the champion for a reason Smith but she’s far from being out of the woods!
The champion keeps the pressure on her challenger and controls the match for the next few moments keeping her grounded to limit the effectiveness of her kickboxing background and mixes her offense between an effective “ground and pound” and a splash of technical prowess. Shawna looking to put the match away with the il Impassable <Black Widow> scouts Artemis as she slowly rises to her feet after being on the mat a good portion of the last few moments. As she goes to try to lock in the hold Artemis manages to slip free and slip behind the champion and pushes her forward only to catch her with a Falcon Kick (yakuza kick) when she turns around!
Bradford: That’s it, this match is a wrap! Artemis Kaiser’s kicks are deadly and there’s no way Shawna Martinez is conscious after that!
Smith: The champion is certainly in a precarious situation, will she have enough energy to kick out?
As Shawna falls to the mat Artemis quickly seizes the opportunity smelling blood in the water and goes for the pin.
2!
3!
Bradford: New champion! New Champion!
Smith: Hold on a second!
Shawna managed to place her foot on the bottom rope before the referee counted to 3.
Artemis starts celebrating thinking she won the match, giving the champion precious moments to recover As she insists on having the ref raise her hand he kicks the bottom rope several times signaling she managed to force a ropebreak. Artemis was visually frustraited and was eager to put the match away as she went to pick Shawna up by her hair. Much to her bewilderment the champion latches on around the head and neck of the challenger and comes down with a devastating jawbreaker leaving both on the mat in pain.
Smith: Veteran ring presence from the champion showing why she’s at the top of this division! She managed to break a pin with her ring presence and then had the clarity to put her challenger on her back with that jawbreaker to buy a few more precious moments to recover.
Bradford: This is why The Women of Tradition are the best in the world. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better women’s division in the entire world and they could easily main event any show. We might as well have a Co-Main Event on our hands with this match! This is how much the MSW Women’s Championship means to them, they’re willing to put themselves through excruciating pain just to have a chance to call themselves champion.
The referee after checking on both competitors began the standard 10 count as neither seemed to be able to quite make it back up to their feet.
2!
3!
4!
Shawna is the first to stir as she starts heading towards the ropes to pull herself up. Artemis slaps her hand against the mat as she begins to push herself up as well.
6!
7!
Artemis makes it back up to a knee while Shawna is also up to a knee as she holds onto the middle rope for leverage. Since neither were back up to their feet yet they still haven’t technically broken the 10 count as the referee keeps an eye on both.
9!
The referee cautiously hesitates as each finally manages to return to a vertical base in case one or both of them fell back to the mat. They both take a few steps towards each other as the referee waives off the bell indicating they both broke the count. Artemis steps forward and shoots a stiff kick at Shawna’s midsection causing her to stagger. Shawna is quick to return the favor as she steps back and shoots back with a stiff right hook. Artemis responds in kind with a stiff knife edge chop as Shawna answers with an even stiffer knife edge chop! Artemis cries out in pain holding onto her chest from the impact before firing back with an even harder knife edge chop! Shawna responds with another chop, Artemis with another, they continue to exchange a series of knife edge chops to the other as the crowd erupts with applause.
Shawna comes out the better in the exchange as she connects with more chops in rapid succession as the sequence goes further along. Seizing the opportunity she grabs a hold of Artemis as she staggers backwards and captures her in the National Anthem <Delayed Cradle Suplex>, maintaining her grip for the pin.
2!
THRE/KICKOUT!
Smith: Somehow, some way Artemis found the strength to kick out! After all they’ve put each other through and the other refuses to stay down! This is incredible!
Bradford: Both women brought their A game tonight! But what more can Shawna Martinez do to put her away?
Shawna looks up in shock and holds up three fingers as the referee only holds up two back. Looking to put an explanation mark on this match she rises back to her feet and drags Artemis up with her. Shawna sets up for the Bella Mafia as she performs the double underhook clutch from behind Artemis but before she can lift her up all the way she manages to slip out of the arm hold and land beside her! In a fit of desperation Artemis responds with a second Falcon Kick on the champion! Wasting no time Artemis quickly goes to pick Shawna back up and positions her between her legs before lifting her up for the DMD (Package piledriver)! Artemis goes for the cover.
2!
3!
Barbara Braman: Here is your winner and the NEW MSW Women’s Champion, Artemis Kaiser!
Bradford: She did it, I told you she’d win! What an amazing match!
Smith: Both women fought their hearts out tonight and there’s no shame in losing a tightly contested match like this.
Artemis slowly rises to her feet as she slides out of the ring immediately after being handed the Women’s Championship as she begins her celebration.
The referee goes to check on Shawna who’s unresponsive after the DMD and throws his arms up in an “X” to indicate a serious injury. EMTs rush to the scene from the back to check on her as they very carefully place her neck in a brace and load her up on stretcher. Alex Smith and Alex Bradford get up from the commentary table due to the seriousness of the situation to check on her in a rare show of comradery in light of the extraordinary situation. After a few more moments MSW cuts to commercial break.
Shawna Martinez Update
As MSW returns from commercial break we cut to Smith and Bradford back at commentary each wearing a solemn expression on their faces.
Smith: Moments ago we saw Shawna Martinez carted out on a stretcher following her match with Artemis Kaiser. It’s a tragic ending to an otherwise amazing match.
The jumbotron plays a replay of the final moments of the match when Artemis connects with the DMD and EMTs rushing to the scene after the referee throws up the “X”.
Smith: We have no idea on the extent of her injury as she remained unresponsive to medical attention and was rushed to a local hospital in Columbus, Missouri for further treatment. We’ll keep you informed when information becomes available on her condition.
Bradford: Love them or hate them every single person in that locker room puts their body on the line for the fans night in and night out. Artemis earned her victory but nobody ever wants to see a match end this way. We send our best wishes and prayers out to Shawna Martinez during this difficult time and hope she makes a full recovery.
Smith: The show must go on however and we have a packed night of action still to come. I just hope this is the only serious injury of the night, even one is too many.
What Was That About?
Backstage SVD and Ian Windermear can be seen talking in the hallway. The two seems to be carrying on a lengthy conversation after SVD paid a visit to Ian Windermear earlier in the week seeking an alliance. Both can be seen smiling and laughing as they look to wrap up their conversation.
Ian Windermear: You got the right attitude Sal, you got that drive and determination and personally I can respect that. As long as you watch my back I’ll watch yours and it doesn’t matter who the tag team champions are after Back to Basics, they’re only keeping the belts warm for us.
SVD: Lets just hope Leo Banks pulls his own weight. I don’t know about you but I don’t have time to deal with people who aren’t willing to push all their chips to the center of the table.
Ian Windermear: Don’t worry about Leo, just as long as the two of us are on the same page we won’t have anything to worry about.
Leo Banks can be seen walking down the hallway towards the two as SVD smiles and looks to part ways with his new partner.
SVD: I’ll keep in touch; just remember what we talked about.
As SVD leaves Leo Banks with a rather perplexed look on his face looks at Ian.
Leo Banks: What the hell was that about?
Ian Windermear: Don’t worry about it Leo, you got a hell of a match to prepare for, you need to stay focused. Good look out there.
Ian pats Leo on the shoulder and walks off leaving Leo Banks to question what just happened as we cut to the office of Drew and Danny Stevenson.
Embarking on a new journey!
Opening up in the office backstage, we see Drew Stevenson sitting behind a beautifully crafted mahogany wooden desk with his hands clasped together and paperwork stacked neatly sitting in front of him.
Drew: I am proud to announce today that we have officially purchased the contract for the repertory theater in Kansas City, just right across the street from the Emerald Academy. There is where the new Unstoppable's will take place starting next week.
Separating his hands, he just stares into the camera looking incredibly professional.
Drew: Now I know many are curious as to why we are moving and let me tell you why, we want to ensure that travel times are the least of your worries. We want to ensure that everyone of you within these four walls have the opportunity to train at the Emerald Academy so that we can ensure that wrestling will always be at its finest. With this move we will be able to gather a bigger crowd, everyone of our athletes will be less sleep deprived, and more focused and ready to step into that ring not having traveled hours away just to get to your match. As you already know, we promote the absolute best in wrestling and with this move, we ensure that we can bring the best wrestling to you every single unstoppable just as we have been doing. The only difference now, is that you will see a much bigger fan base and you will get more tours into the Emerald Academy and into the lives of your favorite MSW wrestlers. We look forward to this move, we look forward to this new journey and we look forward to seeing all of you embark on the journey with us-have a wonderful night and please enjoy the rest of Unstoppable."
With that being said, the scene shifts over to our next match.
