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.
The Apocalypse Vs The Bonecrushing Phailous
As the bell sounds, the referee walks around as our match kicks off with Dante versus Johnny. Johnny being the brawler of the two immediately rushes in with some stiff punches to the face of Dante, after the third or fourth punch, Dante grabs Johnny by the throat and tosses him across the ring like a rag doll.
Smith: Would you look at that, Dante just threw Johnny off of him like he was nothing.
Bradford: I would definitely say that Johnny is going to have to change his plan of attack if he wants to get Dante down.
Smith: I definitely agree with you on that one Bradford, taking this big man down is going to be hard.
Having gotten back to his feet, Johnny reaches up and wipes his chin with his right hand. As both men embrace in a collar and elbow tie up, Johnny immediately knees Dante in the midsection doubling him over and as he is doubled over, Johnny bounces off the ropes and kicks Dante right in the temple dropping him hard. Letting out a scream, Johnny immediately drops down and hooks the leg looking for the big win here.
Kicking out with authority, Johnny rolls Dante over into the seated position and applies a sleeper hold. Having it locked on tight, Dante slowly begins fighting to his feet and as he does, he reaches up grabbing the back of Johnny's head as he falls to the seated position driving Johnny's chin into the top of his head. Clutching his jaw and stumbling around, Johny turns around into a huge gorilla press slam by the large Dante.
Smith: What a huge gorilla press slam by Dante!
Immediately dropping down to hook the leg, the referee is quick to make the count.
Right before the three count, Johnny presses his shoulder off the mat as Dante grabs him by the head and picks him up to his feet. With both men back to their feet, Dante shoves Johnny into the turnbuckle and backs up-as he charges forward looking for a huge avalanche splash, Johnny rolls out of the turnbuckle as Dante crashes in chest first and stumbles out as Johnny who hit the ropes comes in with a massive chop block which takes the big man down.
Smith: The big man is down, Johnny could definitely seize the opportunity here.
Immediately locking Dante into a half crab, the big man lets out a scream as he immediately crawls over to the ropes and grabs the bottom rope as the referee begins the standard five count for Johnny to release the hold.
Releasing the hold right before five, Johnny walks over and tags in his partner Yugo. As the big man Dante has managed to get to his feet, Yugo runs in and is met with a huge big boot right to the face which drops him with authority. Quickly darting over to his partner Virgil, he tags him in as Virgil rushes over to Yugo who has gotten to his feet and drop kicks him back down to the canvas. As Yugo gets back to his feet, he is met with another dropkick as Virgil lets out a scream and looks to have all of the momentum going for him right now. As Yugo has managed to get back to his feet again, Virgil runs in as Yugo catches him with a huge hip toss locked into an immediate arm bar combination.
Smith: What a great counter by Yugo, Virgil better get out of this one or it could be over.
Bradford: I highly doubt that he taps out!
Fighting to his feet, Virgil begins punching Yugo in the midsection which causes the hold to weaken and upon getting him to release the hold, he bounces off the ropes and returns with a dropkick right to the knee which drops him down to the canvas. Immediately pulling him to his feet, Virgil looks to hoist Yugo over his shoulder as he gets him there, Yugo begins wiggling free managing to get in behind Virgil and as he turns around, he kicks Virgil in the midsection and spends his body around grabbing Virgil by the back of the neck falling to the seated position hitting the shut eye time. Immediately hooking the leg, he looks for the big win here tonight.
Barbara Braman: Your winners of the match, JOHNNY BOOONECRUUUSHER and YUGO PHAAAILOUUUS!!!
Bryce Manning Vs Tommy Angel
As both men stand in the ring, Bryce Manning hands the referee the Missouri State Wrestling championship as Tommy Angel, the eccentric man in green stands there doing some karate poses. As the referee signals for the bell, Tommy Angel continues to do some karate poses as Bryce Manning looks unimpressed yet slightly amused at Tommy.
Bradford: Look at Bryce's face, he looks completely unimpressed!
Smith: I agree with you, he looks unimpressed but he also chuckled just a little bit which tells me he's also slightly amused.
Tommy, who finishes doing karate poses runs in at Bryce and looks for a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick which connects right at the chest of Bryce as Bryce purposely falls to the canvas and pretends to be unconscious. Looking completely stunned, Tommy quickly drops down making the cover.
Getting his shoulder up with ease and laughing about it, Bryce quickly throws Tommy off of him and gets up to his feet laughing at Tommy making complete fun of him. As Tommy looks rather irritated, he runs at Bryce again but is caught as Bryce wraps his arm around Tommy's shoulder and lifts him up driving him across the knee with a huge spine shanker.
Bradford: Well this one is over!
Walking over to the fallen Tommy, Bryce arrogantly places his foot on Tommy's chest as the referee drops down to make the account.
Barbara Braman: The winner of the match, Bryce Manning!
Being handed his title by the referee, Bryce slings it over his shoulder and exits the ring heading backstage looking completely unimpressed with his matchup tonight.
It's Not Over Yet
Crowd: BOOOOOOOO! FUCK YOU MAN-NING! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap* FUCK YOU MAN-NING! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap*
Bryce CRIPPLED the ‘fan’ over his knee and once the impact had taken place, he rolled out of the ring and backed up to the barricade. With a THUNDERING round of boos and jeers fired off in his direction, Bryce held his arm high as he hopped over it and eventually was lost in a sea of fans.. all as the camera switched back to the ring where staff was attending to the fan.
The Bubbly Claw Experience
We open backstage with Marie Porter and Kat who are slated to be tag team partners against Tamara Rose and Catherine Williamson in just a bit.
Marie: Kitty! You ready for this big match?!
Kat: Look, for one I've told you to stop calling me that. Do it again and I'll have to hurt you.
Marie: Yeah, yeah. Come on, now. Let's get ready to kick some butt!
Kat: Look, Marie, Just because we've been training the past two weeks doesn't mean we're buddies. We have to do what we've gotta do to win.
Marie: Oh you! Haha we're totally besties, and you totally know it! You don't have to kid yourself, pal.
Marie puts her hand on Kat's shoulder, but Kat shrugs her shoulder to take Marie's hand off.
Marie: It's OK, Kat, you can just come to my party later! But uh, yeah we're definitely gonna win tonight. These girlies don't stand a chance against the Bubbly Claw Experience! Yeaaaa!
Kat: Of course we will, because there's no other choice. These wimps are leaving after tonight and I intend to send them packing a lot sooner than later.
Marie: Yeaaa! They're not gonna know what hit 'em!
Kat: Exactly. Now come on bubbles, we've got a match to win.
Marie: Heck yeah!
Steve Thunder Vs Jorge Santos
As the bell sounds, Steve Thunder and Jorge Santos begin circling around each other. Embracing in a collar and elbow tie up, Jorge gets the upper hand as he slaps Steve in a headlock and tosses him over his waist with a modified like hip toss with the headlock still applied tightly.
Smith: Well it looks like we are already kicking off our action with some good old-fashioned technical wrestling.
As the headlock remains applied, Steve manages to get to his feet as he grabs Jorge and hits a huge backdrop bridging into opinion.
Getting his shoulder up off of the canvas, Jorge releases the hold as both men get up and look at one another after a great display of technical wrestling. As the fans clap and show their appreciation for such wrestling, both men embrace in another collar and elbow tie up as Steve quickly hits a scoop slam taking Jorge down. Quickly running to the ropes, he comes back and does a somersault flip and then upon getting to his feet jumps up and with another somersault lands on Jorge with the rolling thunder.
Smith: The rolling thunder, great agility by Steve here.
Bradford: I'll give him credit, it's a good move and Jorge looks to be in trouble here.
Picking Jorge up to his feet, he Irish whips him to the ropes and bounces off the opposite ropes and as they meet, Steve hits Jorge with a huge clothesline which flattens him. Picking Jorge up to his feet again, Steve positions him under his right arm and looks out of the crowd-giving the crowd a smile, he then swings his body around and flattens Jorge face first into the canvas with the thunderous climax. Quickly dropping down and hooking the leg, the referee drops down to make the count.
Barbara Braman: The winner of the match, STEVE THUUUUUNDEER!!!
Beast On The Horizon
Beware Missouri; The Yemen Submission Magician, The All Mighty, Usef is coming."
Daniel Bane w/ Roman Gold Vs Stefan Wallace w/ Deacon Cash
As MSW returns from commercial Daniel Bane and Stefan Wallace are already inside the ring with Roman Gold and Deacon Cash in their respective corners. The bell rings as both men waste no time going after each other. Wallace throws a thundering series of punches at The Iconoclast only to get shoved and hit with a running big boot. Wallace crumbles to the mat as Bane grabs him by the throat to lift him back up. Wallace tries to get free only to get tossed roughly into the turnbuckle with a choketoss.
Smith: Daniel Bane is in complete control right now. The muscle of The Gentlemen’s Club is showing off that impressive strength of his as he tosses Stefan Wallace around like a ragdoll.
Bradford: This is exactly why Roman Gold signed the guy to be the power behind The Gentlemen’s Club; the man is an absolute monster! He’s built like a panzer tank and unfortunately for Stefan Wallace he appears to be on the wrong end of a blitzkrieg.
Stefan Wallace desperately tries to fight back from the corner but it’s no use as it only seems to anger Bane as he begins headbutting him repeatedly in the corner causing him to slump in the corner. Bane refuses to relent the assault as he continues pounding Wallace into the corner as the referee desperately tries to regain order in the match.

FIV-
Bane stops and turns around sharply at the referee who backs off in fear raising his hands up in the air.
Bradford: You won’t like him when he’s angry. If I was the referee I’d get the hell out of dodge right now while the going’s good!
Bane yanks Wallace out of the corner and unceremoniously sets him up for the Seventh Seal as his opponent struggles to even stay on his feet. Bane lifts him up with high in the air and slams him down with that devastating powerbomb with authority placing his hand on the chest of his opponent for the pin.
2!

Barbara Braman: Here is your winner Daniel Bane!
Bane breaks back, makes humble.
Bane however wasn’t finished as he picked Wallace up off the mat. Bane raises Wallace into a torture rack position and laughs. He tosses Wallace forward over his head and drops his back hard across Bane's knee for a vicious back breaker.
Smith: Enough is enough! You won the damn match already!
Bradford: The Gentlemen’s Club is sending a statement tonight. If you wish to stand in their way you’re going to end up just like Stefan Wallace and Davis Wiley, I hope Frank Washington and Robert Garland are watching this because they’re the next in line to face the Gentlemen’s Club tonight in the main event!
The bell rings repeatedly as several referees rush towards the ring in an attempt to restore order. Bane simply laughs as he exits the ring celebrating with Roman Gold as MSW cuts to the back.
Mercer and... a Date?
Backstage at the arena, we see the unusual image of Andrew Mercer (or Mercer Andrews to some people); standing in an empty locker-room, in front of a large mirror – spraying some cologne on and around his neckline.
MERCER: “I started a joke, that started the whole world crying...”
Cheerfully singing out loud, Mercer nods his head along to the tune as “I Started A Joke” by the Bee Gees plays out from a near by portable stereo system.
MERCER: “But I didn't see... That the joke, was on me.”
Continuing to prepare himself for some sort of engagement later in the evening, Mercer's attention is suddenly diverted to the locker-room door, as none other than his fellow Joker's Wild stable mate Scotty Addams steps into the room. A weird expression sported upon his face due to Mercer's strange actions.
Scotty: “What's got you so chipper?”
Copping an equally as weird look on his face as he turns around to come face to face with Scotty, Mercer smirks and even goes so far as to manically chuckle at the audacity of the question.
MERCER: “I have a date tonight.”
As weird as it may sound coming from a guy such as Mercer, especially considering the fact that he's actually already involved in some sort of strange “relationship” type situation; it was indeed true. That didn't prevent Scotty from being kind of freaked out by this whole ordeal, but unable to resist taking the “bait” so to speak, and inquiring about it.
Scotty: “A date? With who?”
MERCER: “...Lacey Von Licht.”
Whomp. Whomp. Scotty began to shake his head, noticing that Mercer was deadly serious about this. He even went so far as to slap his palm up against his own forehead.
Scotty: “Um... You know 'Lacey Von Licht' doesn't actually exist, right?”
Mercer's eye narrow, out of sheer frustration for Scotty's allegation, as he reaches over to the table close by and picks up a piece of paper.
MERCER: “Yeah, she does! She sent me a note, asking for a date. Look!”
Presenting the note to Scotty, Mercer's eyes wander from the piece of paper to Scotty's face; where as Scotty's face seems fixated on the note; as he instantly recognizes the writing on the paper to be that of another fellow Joker's Wild stablemate in “The Emerald” Drew Stevenson. Exposing this to be some sort of inside rib that Scotty wasn't aware of.
Scotty: “Oh, okay. Well, good for you. Enjoy yourself.”
Snickering to himself from under the safe confounds of his own breath, Scotty swiftly exits the locker-room, barely able to contain himself from bursting out with rampant laughter.
MERCER: “I finally died, which started the whole world living...”
Blissfully unaware of the situation at hand, Mercer happily goes back to his preparation.
MERCER: “But if I'd only seen... That the joke, was on me...”
Shortly after this hilarious incident, our cameras fade out to commerical
Last Minute Words
Heading backstage, Robert Fields stands by with Scotty Addams who is just moments from his match with Leo Banks.
Robert Fields: Scotty, a few weeks ago we saw you and Leo Banks have an exchange over twitter which let to some words backstage and it brings us to this match that you're about to have in just a few moments with Leo Banks. What are your thoughts?
Scotty: Robert, my thoughts are quick and simple. Leo Banks thinks that all of his troubles can be saved by a little bit of money, but tonight I'm here to show him otherwise. I've been around this business a long time, Robert and I've encountered a lot of people like him and people like? They need to be taught a lesson, plan and simple. Banks, your money won't save you from this defeat.
Scotty walks off and we cut into a split screen with Leo on the other side as they walk to the ring.
Scotty Addams Vs Leo Banks
Smith: I can't believe this, Bradford! Leo Banks is ACTUALLY trying to use his money to bribe his way out of this match!
Bradford: When you've got money you can buy your way out of anything! Come on now, Smith, get your head in the game!
Smith: But this is a licensed official! Banks started this mess so he should own up to it!
Bradford: He's rich, Smith! Come on now! Haven't you figured out that rich people can do whatever they want!?
Smith: This is a wrestling match! How the hell can you try and bribe your way out of a wrestling match!
"JUGGERNAUT BITCH!"
Smith: Would you listen to the noise this crowd is making!? All in favor of Scotty, and a huge knee kick there, knocking Leo a bit senseless! And Leo is still focused on his money!
Bradford: Of course he's worried about his money! If I got kicked and dropped a giant wad of money I'd be a little worried about my money too.
Smith: Why is he even bringing his money to the ring!? What sense does that even make?!
Bradford: Think about it, Smith! He's the richest man in MSW! How could he just leave his money in the locker room with all of those thieves!?
Smith: Shows that you think highly of our roster.
Bradford: Of course I do! Ton's of great talent but they all want Leo's money too. He's doing the SMART thing, Smith!
Smith: The smart thing would to not bring your money to the ring, I would think. And Scotty's teaching him that lesson right now.
Smith: That doesn't sound good for Banks!
Scotty grabbed Banks' hair pulling his head back and standing him on his feet. Banks has a look of shock on his face and is shaking his head "NO!" Scotty elbows Banks in the face and spins him around and lifts him to his <Scotty's> shoulders in a reverse fireman's carry holding onto Leo's chin and leg and with a big smile walks to the middle of the ring and BAM! Scotty drops Banks right on his head in the middle of the ring with the Platinum Driver and makes a cover.
The crowd exploded and "One Step To Fall" by Across the Rain blasts across the speakers and Scotty's hand is raised in victory.
Smith: Hopefully Leo Banks has learned a lesson after tonight to not mouth off of the wrong people.
Bradford: All he wanted was his money! How can Scotty be so cruel! Go on, get out of here! Go back to California! Bastard.
The future... Is now!
Standing backstage with LeBroc Harris, he paces around the area as the camera pans on him getting closer.
Harris: I am LeBroc Harris and at Unstoppable 10 I will not be ignored! I KNOW Danny Stevenson is out to get me by not having me scheduled on the show but you cant get rid of me thaaat easily, eh-eh! The world is going to bare witness to the greatest technical wrestler on the planet. You see, the world always hears how Drew Stevenson is the best-no, no, no, I am the best and I am going to prove that at unstoppable 10!"
Looking incredibly determined, the camera dramatically pans in on his face.
Harris: I hope you're ready Missouri State Wrestling, because I am LeBroc Harris and I am your future Missouri State Wrestling champion!
We then cut out to ringside.
Marie Porter & Kat Vs Tamara Rose & Catherine Williamson
Following the LeBroc Harris vignette we returned to the ring where Tamara Rose and Catherine Williamson were already in the ring and "St. Anger" by Metallica started to play and Kat made her way out to center stage to where she paused, and "Love Lockdown" by Kanye West hit the speakers and the cheers were still keeping up. Marie and and Kat look at each other, almost like a death glare until they give each other a high five, look to the ring and run down the ramp.
Barbara: And now making their way to the ring, the team of Marie Porter and KAAATTTT!
The girls slid into the ring and the brawl started, Marie fighting Tamara, Kat fighting Catherine. Kat and Marie had an instant advantage and Catherine was knocked outside after a kick to the midsection and a knee lift by Kat. The referee had regained control and Kat went to the apron and Catherine made her way up to the apron. Marie had Tamara in the corner and had her stunned with a series of kicks to the midsection.
Smith: This match has a lot of hype behind it, Bradford! The fact that the past two weeks we've been seeing on twitter that Kat and Marie have put aside their differences and have spent time training at the Emerald Academy in Kansas City at the Emerald Academy, just down the street from the Kansas City Repitory Theatre where starting two weeks from now, on Thursday, July 3rd, MSW will have our new home! And we're seeing the teamwork by these two with that high five just to start. These two are on the same page and that's a danger for Tamara and Catherine, especially with this being their final matches in MSW!
Bradford: That's just it, Smith, it's their final matches and they're really looking to go out with a bang against arguably two of the top Women of Tradition in MSW right now! I had my doubts about Marie and Kat being able to be on the same page because of their history but I was defintely wrong. They've done everything they've needed to do to be on the same page and it's working to their advantage here tonight.
Following the kicks, Marie took Tamara out of the corner with a big hip toss and Tamara gets up holding her back just to be met with a big dropkick that knocks Tamara down. She rolls through backwards and finds herself in the corner and Marie tags out to Kat. Kat bounces off the bottom rope and jumps in over the top. Her and Marie both grab one of Tamara's hands and Irish whip her into the ropes. Tamara is coming back and they both hip toss Tamara, but instead of letting Tamara hit the mat, they catch her with their other hands, raise her up high above their heads and drop her strong on the mat and Marie exits the ring and Kat covers.
Smith: And beautiful teamwork here by Marie and Kat! THe past two weeks they've been training at the Emerald Academy with Drew Stevenson, Scotty Addams and Frank Washington-- The Joker's Wild collectively, as well as TJ Codair AND arguably two women that are legends in their own right, Whisper and Kim Pain! They've been using every resource available to them and it's defintely showing in the teamwork, and I cannot express that enough!
Bradford: Color me impressed, Smith. Two women that nobody ever though would be able to work together are, and flawlessly!
The pin wasn't enough to keep Tamara down, though, and she was to her feet. She started reaching over towards Catherine who was wanting a tag in desperately but Kat run over, ran off of Tamara's back and with an eblow knocked Catherine off of the apron and then connected a low dropkick to Tamara's face and another two. Marie was calling for a tag and Kat dragged Tamara to their corner and made the tag. Marie came in and started to stomp around, her hands on her hips and nodding her head.
Smith: And a tag is made to Marie Porter! She's in and ready to wrestle!
Bradford: I'm very surprised at the teamwork here but it's working out well!
The crowd hot behind the alliance and Marie stood Tamara up into the corner and Kat walks out of the area on the apron, Marie brings her her arm back and lets out a big chop across Tamara's chest a couple of times and the crowd erupts for it. Marie then uses a headlock takedown and applies the headlock firmly to Tamara's head before Catherine has enough and breaks it up. This causes Kat to springboard to the top rope and come flying in with a big dropkick, knocking Catherine back. Kat gets back out to the apron and Marie tags out. Kat is in, Marie on the apron and Kat brings Tamara to her feet.
Smith: And anther fresh tag, and this unit is looking like they're going to continue the punishment!
Bradford: I don't think so, Smith! Tamara is coming back!
And that she was, fighting out of the right and hitting Kat with some right hands until Kat used a knee lift into Tamara's gut and gave a cut throat taunt yelling out. She hooks Tamara's head and lifts her up, Tamara's legs wrapping around Kat's body. Catherine came trying to run in again but got stopped by Marie and caught with a huge Marie Experience II (Stone Cold Stunner) knocking her clear out of the ring.
Smith: This isn't looking good for Tamara and Catherine! Marie Experience 2 takes Catherine out and... KAT-ASTROPHE (Cradle DDT) TO TAMARA! THIS COULD BE IT!
Bradford: Tamara got in a little over her head and is paying the price now! Kat was just too much but wait a minute... Kat's going for the tag?!
And sure enough Kat tags in Marie and she enters the ring. Marie locks the legs and bridges backwards, pulling back on Tamara's head locking in the Marie Experience I (EMMAlock) and Kat is on the mat right in Tamara's face, intimidating her to tap out before she has no other choice but to do so and the bell sounds.
Barbara: Here are your winners... KAAAT AND MARRRIIIE PORRRTEERR!
"Ladies, ladies, yeah, ladies, up here."
Big Announcement
Crowd: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Banks... Meet Nightmare
Robert Fields: Ladies and gentlemen I’m here with Leo Banks following a tough loss to Scotty Addams earlier tonight. Leo what’s going through your mind after such a defeat?
Leo Banks: What are my thoughts? You think I’m upset about that Robert? Look, let Scotty Addams feel like he’s on top of the world right now, it doesn’t matter, I’m Rich! I’ll always be rich and I’ll always be better than Scotty Addams and the rest of these idiots in Missouri at life. Scotty Addams got lucky, I wasn’t ready for the match to start and I could hire someone to beat him if I really felt like it. I can buy anything I want and there’s nothing anybody can do about it!
The crowd roars into cheers as the camera pans over to The Windy City Nightmare himself Matt Ward as he stares down MSW’s resident rich kid.
Matt Ward: You want to put that to the test Richie Rich? Do you remember what I did to Luke Jackson? I put the kid through hell and back and I respect him so what do you think I’d do to someone I have no respect for? You better tell Jeeves to take you out for some ice cream because when you and I finally square off you’ll be sipping your meals through a straw!
Matt Ward grins as he walks off as a hint of fear could be seen in the face of Leo Banks.
Bad Blood Settled?
