*The Thunder In Paradise 3 logo fades to reveal the beautiful white sand beaches of Aiea, HI as the sun is beginning to set. *
*A couple runs onto the vacant beach to watch the sunset. The man has his arm around the woman and holds her close to his side as they watch the sun begin to sink behind the Palm trees. With his other arm, the man reaches into his pocket and pulls something out, but keeps it hidden from the woman. *
Woman: Isn’t this beautiful? This truly is paradise.
*The man doesn’t answer but instead drops to a knee. The woman turns to see what he is doing and sees that he has a ring box open. The woman gasps and covers her mouth as she sees the ring in the box. *
Man: Julie, will you…
*The man's question is interrupted as a bolt of lightning suddenly cracks across the sky, followed by thunder that seems to shake them to their bones. Julie jumps, moving her hand from her mouth to her heart. The man slowly stands up, and as he does it dark red clouds begin to roll in, as the thunder strikes again. *
*As the rain falls she turns to face her fiance, but as she sees him she screams in fear. *
Man: JULIE, WHAT’S WRONG!?!
Woman: The rian… IT’S BLOOD!!!
*The man looks down at his white button-up shirt and sees it is sprinkled with large red blots, He looks at his hands and they are covered in blood as well. The shot focuses on his bloody hands as the thunder cracks once more before “Raining Blood” by Slayer begins to play. The shot of the bloody hands transitions to shots of different TPW competitors as the music plays. *

Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquittance
The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone
Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many
Now ornaments dripping above
Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away
Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
*The shot fades from Tact to an overhead shot of the sold-out Aloha Stadium, with over 60,000 people packing the stadium. As the camera pans around the crowd, the shot drops low and looks up to the sky to catch a shot of the Blue Angels flying over the stadium. *
*As the jets disappear and their rumbling fades the shot transitions to Post Malone. Post Malone smiles as Steve Cotton begins to speak. *
Steve Cotton: Ladies and Gentle, please stand and join Grammy nominee, and Billboard award winner in singing AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL!!!
*As Post Malone finishes and the crowd begins roaring the shot transitions to the ringside commentary desk where Mark Markon and Nick “Knows” Napier are seated, ready for a huge event. *
Markson: HELLO EVERYONE! WELCOME TO THUNDER IN PARADISE THREEEE!!!
Napier: Why is your air blonde?
Markson: I thought I’d try out a new look.
Napier: It isn’t working out for you.
Markson: We’re not here to talk about my hair, we are here for one of the biggest events ever in Thunder Pro Wrestling, the third annual Thunder In Paradise.
Napier: What a night it is going to be. Tonight Peter Vaughn finally rids TPW of Chris Page once and forall.
Markson: That is still to be seen, but we also have tonight the finals of the S.E.X Cup and the third annual Hurricane Hustle matc to determine the winners of the cup.
Napier: I’d like to say we have four of the best teams in the world in the match but the D & L Connection, and Vaughn and JMont were all robbed, and we are stuck with Flowers of Carnage, Never//More, and Lights Out in there. But, that just means I can be happy when Rogue’s Gallery wins.
Markson: That is going to be a huge match, and speaking of huge matches what a main event we have tonight. For the first time in Thunder Pro we have a no rope, electrified barbed wire match as Junko Souma and JMont meet in their rubber match.
Napier: I hope Junko’s life insurance policy is paid up.
Markson: You can’t kill Junko, no matter how hard you try.
Napier: I’m not going to kill her, JMont is.
Markson: We’ll see about that tonight, but right now it is time for our opening contest as we go to the highly anticipated bout between Larry Tact and Tony Savage.
Steve Cotton: The following contest will determine the number one contender to the American championship, and is your OPENING MATCH!!!
*The Crowd Pops.*
Steve Cotton: Introducing first, hailing from London, U.K. via Atlanta, Georgia, and weighing in at 229lbs, this is TOOONNNYYY SAAAVVVAAAAGGGEEE!!!
*Savage comes out to “Off Deez” by J.I.D. featuring J Cole. He’s wearing his black warmup jacket adorned with the Stars and Stripes, as well as the Union Jack. He moves down towards the ring, ready to fight, as he looks at the other competitors waiting for him. *
Steve Cotton: And his opponent, hailing from from Manhattan, New York, and weighing in at 260lbs, he is a former TPW International Champion, here is LAAAARRRRRRYYYY TAAAAACCCCTTTT!!
*"In the Face of Evil" by Magic Sword reverberates over the PA. Row after row, aisle to aisle, the THUNDERAMANIACS rise to their feet throughout the arena and cheer, the beating heart of TPW about to burst!
As the second, third, and fourth chords of the theme reverberate, three spotlights shine down, one over another: A green circle, a gold triangle over it, and a crimson line intersecting the other two. On the Terry-Tron, his monikers cycle through one after another:
TACTILIZING ONE
GAME CHANGER
SAGE OF THE SQUARED CIRCLE
From there, the beat triggers the house lights to illuminate the figure of the former International Champion himself, Larry Tact, standing on stage, the spotlight glinting off his shaved head.
Larry whips his hair up and trudges to one side of the stage, firing up the fans by throwing his arms in the air at them. He then goes to the other side of the stage and beats his chest before opening his arms to the reaction of the THUNDERAMANIACS, who hoot and holler back. "This is our company!" Larry bellows as his arms point around at the crowd. He then returns to center stage and makes his way down to the ring, pounding fists with some fans at ringside before hanging onto the middle rope and pulling himself up onto the apron.
He turns and faces the stands, opening his arms up and making a ‘T’ shape, puffing his chest out. Wiping his boots on the apron, Tact proceeds into the ring. He climbs a turnbuckle and again holds his arms out. “WE ARE TPW STRONG!!” he exclaims to another pop before descending and making his final preparations for the match. *
Markson: This match is a matter of pride and respect.
Napier: More important than pride and respect, it’s about money.
Markson: Are you saying money is more important than pride or respect?
Napier: YES!
DING! DING! DING
*As the bell sounds Tony and Larry stand face to face in the middle of the ring staring each other down. Neither man even blinks and the intensity can be cut with a knife. Larry holds his hand up for a handshake and Tony smirks. Tony accepts his hand and the two men shake hands. As soon as they release hands they go right into a collar and elbow tie up.
The larger Larry is able to take control of the tie-up and go right into a side headlock. Tony grabs the hands of Larry and tries prying them off, prompting Larry to take Tony down with a headlock takeover. On the mat Tony shoves Larry’s head back, and kicks his legs up, wrapping them around Larry’s head in a head scissors, and pulls Larry off the headlock and to the mat.
Larry rolls through the head-scissors into a tripod and hops up hard using the momentum to free his head and come up to his feet. Tony quickly spins up to his feet, but as soon as Tony gets to his feet Larry grabs him in a headlock. *
Markson: I’ve got to say that when it comes to wrestling Larry Tact will have the advantage, but if it breaks down into a brawl or comes to striking I‘ve got to give the advantage to Tony Savage.
Napier: Wrestling is boring, just fight guys.
*Larry stays on his feet holding the headlock tight on Tony, and Tony wraps his arms around Larry and tries lifting him, but Larry sinks his hips keeping himself grounded. As Larry comes back up a bit Tony charges forward running Larry into the ropes and then shoots him off. Tony charges as Larry comes off the ropes, but Larry drops him with a shoulder tackle.
Larry charges to the ropes and as he comes back Tony floats over, looking to trip him up, but Larry stops short and drops down grabbing Tony in a headlock. Tony fights up to his feet while Larry still holds onto the headlock. Tony grabs the hands of Larry and is finally able to spin out going for a top wristlock, but just as he is about to turn it over into the top wristlock Larry overpowers Tony and spins him back around into the headlock.
Tony immediately grabs Larry around the waist again, and runs him into the ropes and shoots him off again. As Larry comes off the ropes this time Tony leap frogs him, but Larry stops as soon as he goes under Tony. Tony lands and spins right around into another headlock takeover from Larry. *
Markson: Larry Tact is utilizing that headlock to perfection.
Napier: Sorry the opener to Thunder In Paradise is a snooze fest folks, that is what happens when Alexander Marshall is no longer in charge.
*Tony works his way up to his feet again, but this time drives Larry back into the corner. Ref Wallace calls for a break and Larry releases. Tony breaks clean as well, but at the last second grabs Larry and whips him across the ring to the opposite corner. Tony follows after Larry, but as Larry gets to the corner he does an up and over, as Tony goes under him and hits the corner. Tony turns around stunned right into another headlock takeover.
Tony once more goes back to the head scissors to pull Larry off, but this time as Larry goes to the tripod, Tony opens his legs and shoves Larry’s head, flipping Larry into his back in a sunset flip pin.

Larry kicks out, rolling back to his feet. Larry scoops the legs of Tony, rolls over him, and bridges into a pin.
1…
Tony shows great core strength bridging up from the pin with Larry on top of him. Tony spins out of the bridge and goes for a back slide, but Larry throws his body forward, flipping Tony over his back. Tony lands on his feet, but Larry grabs him in a headlock again.
Fed-up with the headlock game, Tony throws a forearm into the ribs of Larry, and then shoots Larrt into the corner again. Larry goes for another up and over, but Tony stops short, catches Larry’s ankles, and pulls Larry down into a atomic drop. *
Napier: Looks like Tony Savage is the one out wrestling Larry Tact now.
Markson: That was an impressive counter from Tony.
*Tony comes up from the atomic drop, grabs Larry, lifts him up, and drops him with a Shin Breaker. Larry falls to his back as Tony holds onto his leg. Tony puts a foot on the kneecap of Larry, and then flips forward pulling Larry’s leg, hyper-extending Larry’s knee about his foot, and pulling Larry’s hamstring. Tony rolls up holding onto Larry’s ankle and rolls Larry over into a Half Boston Crab.
Larry immediately begins crawling toward the ropes. Tony tries sinking his weight down and stopping Larry, but Larry claws at the canvas and pulls himself closer to the ropes. Tony stands up to try and pull Larry back to the middle of the ring, but as he does Larry is able to roll over to his back, and use his free foot to shove Tony in the back, sending Tony rolling forward, but back up to his feet.
Tony spins around and charges at Larry, but as Tony gets close Larry is on his feet and goes for a back elbow Tony ducks the elbow, and Larry staggers as he misses, staying upright but clutching at his knee. Larry stands upright just as Tony comes flying back from the ropes with a Superman punch that drops Larry. *
Markson: What a punch by Tony Savage, he dropped Larry Tact with that shot.,
Napier: If Larry can’t stand, he won't stand a chance.
*Tony jumps on Larry after dropping him with the superman punch, hooking the leg for a pin.

KICKOUT!
Tony rolls up to his feet, as Larry starts pushing himself up. Tony dives with a chop block, but Larry moves out of the way lifting his leg, and Tony crashes face-first onto the mat. Larry quickly hobbles to the closest ropes bouncing off of them and comes back with an elbow drop, but Tony rolls out of the way and Larry crashes to the mat on his elbow.
Larry starts getting up holding his elbow and knee, but Tony is already up and coming off the ropes with a Running Bionic Elbow, but as he gets close Larry stuns Tony with a quick jab to the jaw. Larry strikes with two more jabs staggering Tony. Larry then goes for a clothesline, but Tony ducks and as he does catches Larry with a single-leg takedown, taking Larry to his back and transitioning right into a calf crusher. *
Napier: This is it, Tony Savage has Larry Tact in the middle of the ring and he’s got that Calf Crusher hooked on tight.
Markson: We can never count Larry Tact out of the fight.
*Ref Wallace is on her knees asking Larry if he submits, but Larry shakes his head “no” and continues trying to fight free. Larry shoves himself up and uses his arm to reach back and around Tony’s head. Larry uses his impressive strength to slam Tony’s head backward into the mat. This stuns Tony and he releases the hold.
Larry rolls away towards the ropes and starts pulling himself up with the ropes as Tony rolls up holding the back of his head. Tony sees Larry getting up using the ropes and Tony charges. Larry sees Tony coming and catches Tony with a backdrop over the top rope. Tony lands on his feet on the apron and Larry turns around to a forearm to the jaw that staggers him. Tony runs down the apron to the turnbuckle and quickly climbs to the top.
Tony leaps off the top rope looking for a flying Superman punch, but Larry catches Tony and delivers The Humbling (Uranage Suplex). Larry falls to the mat beside Tony, both men laying on the canvas as Ref Wallace begins her count. *

Markson: Larry Tact with a huge opportunity here, but his knee to hurt to capitalize.
Napier: These two men have been going full tilt since the bell, Larry is too old for that, and we all know about Tony’s condition.
5…
6…
*Larry pushes himself to his feet, and as he does Tony rolls to his as well. Larry goes for a big haymaker, but Tony ducks and begins unlashing a combination of hard shots. Tony lands two hard body shots and then staggers Larry with two quick hooks. Larry is dazed and staggering on his feet when Tony goes for a big hook, but Larry ducks and caches Tony with a Blue Thunder driver.
Larry rolls from the driver right into the corner, and as he pulls himself up the crowd cheers as Larry looks at the top rope. Larry nods his head and begins climbing as he signals for his "Dive to Blue" Top Rope Elbow Drop. Larry’s bad knee slows him down a bit, and just as Larry gets to the top rope Tony nips up to his feet and runs to the corner. Tony leaps to the top rope, grabs double underhooks on Larry, and suplex’s Larry off the top rope. *
Markson: HUGE SUPLEX!
Napier: What was that old gimp Larry Tact thinking when he was climbing the ropes?
Markson: He was thinking about putting the match away with his top rope elbow drop.
Napier: Clearly, thinking isn’t Larry’s strong suit.
*Tony is on his feet, and waiting as Larry staggers to his feet. Tony looks primed to deliver One Shot, One Kill “Ox Baker Style Running Heart Punch”, and as Larry staggers up Tony charges, but Larry ducks low and catches Tony with a big spine buster. Larry rolls on top of Tony hooking the leg.
1…
2…
KICKOUT!
Napier: It’s going to take a lot more than that to put Tony Savage away.
Markson: That was a huge spine-buster, but Tony Savage is as tough as they come.
*Larry stands to his feet, grabbing Tony by the head as he does. Larry whips Tony off into the ropes, and as Tony comes back Larry goes for a big boot, but Tony drops down and tackles Larry’s bad knee. Larry crumbles to the mat holding his leg. Tony rolls to his feet and takes a boxing stance as he waits for Larry, who tries pushing himself up. As soon as Larry stands, Tony begins unleashing the “Ten Piece and a Biscuit”. Tony works Larry into the corner like a heavy bag, landing 10 vicious punches before an uppercut knockings Larry on his butt.
Tony moves away from the corner as the crowd gives mixed reactions chatting
“LET’S GO SAVAGE!”
And
“LET’S GO LARRY!”
Markson: It looks like Tony Savage is ready to deliver his devastating heart punch.
Napier: One shot, one kill has put a lot of people away, and it’s about time it puts Larry Tact away.
*Larry grabs the top rope and pulls himself up. As Larry is pulling himself up Tony charges in, but Larry catches Tony with “The Humbling” (Uranage Suplex). Larry falls back into the corner, being held up by the turnbuckles as Tony rolls over to his stomach out of instinct. Tony starts pushing himself up, but as he is on all fours Larry rolls out of the corner and catches Tony with an Oklahoma roll. *

Markson: Larry Tact wit an Oklahoma roll and tight cradle for the win, I don’t think anyone had that on their score card.
Napier: I can’t believe Larry did it. Everytime I’m ready to count him our he surprises me.
Markson: Larry Tact never stops surprising me.
Napier: Me either, and I HATE IT! I don’t like being wrong.
*The shot focuses on Larry on the outside of the ring with his hands raised in victory before fading to a per-recorded segment. *

Steve Cotton: The following contest is the SUNSHINE SHOOTOUT!!!
*The crowd pops*
Steve Cotton: Introducing next, hailing from Chicago, IL and weighing in at 132lbs, she is THE EQUALIZER! This is Leah AGUEEERRRRROOOO!!!
*The lights fall down in the arena and Becky G’s “Green Light Go” immediately kicks in drawing boos from the crowd.
Red light, green light, one, two, three
Try your best, can't Fudge with me
Red light, green light, one, two, three
Try your best, can't Fudge with me
The War Queen Leah Aguero makes her way out to the stage bobbing her head along to the beat as she soaks in the crowds’ disdain for her. At the top of the ramp, Leah throws up her all too familiar War Queen W pose before flipping off the fans in attendance.
The jeers grow as Leah makes her way down the ramp way towards the ring. She ignores them all as she rolls in under the bottom rope and goes straight to taking a seat in the corner resting on the bottom turnbuckle. *

Steve Cotton: Introducing next, hailing from Detroit, Michigan, and weighing in at 212lbs, this is JAYCE PIIIERRRCCCEEE!!!
* Fans within the venue had started to calm down a bit from the previous action that had been seen. That was until that opening drum beat to “One More Time” by The Suicide Machines began to pump out through the arena’s speakers. It appeared to be a direct fifty-fifty split amongst the fans within the building. Equally loud cheers were heard as the boos were heard.
A superstar of controversy set to appear before them all. There was a sudden cut within the camera as it focused on the stage. A very slow zoom up the stage was present just as the curtain to the gorilla position was pushed aside and out stepped the man of the hour center stage. A slight smirk featured on his expression, Jayce Pierce looked around the arena.
Acknowledging those that cheered with a wave. All while keeping that almost arrogant smirk on his expression for those that booed. Clearly geared up for what the night was going to bring, Jayce began to march down to the ring. Rolling his hands back and forth as some sort of stretch. Once reaching the ringside area he gripped the middle rope and pulled himself up.
He wasted no time marching for the corner. Taking his time to climb to the second rung of the turnbuckle and again peered out into the sea of fans. Raising both hands into the air to receive the same amount of hate and support he had been getting. That split is still very apparent. Jayce then leaped over the ropes into the ring. Backing into the corner to settle in. *

Steve Cotton: Introducing next, hailing from Los Angeles, California, and weighing in at 225lbs. This is VENOM, XAVIERRRRR LUUUXXXX!!!
*The lights in the building start to flicker, matching the opening riffs and drums of 'The Infection' by Disturbed. After the intro, a brief pyro explosion goes off in the entrance and as lyrics of the song begin, Xavier Lux steps out from behind the smoke left by the pyro. He stands there sporting his latest black and green gear, which includes a black 7 Wrestling Sins T-shirt. He looks around at the crowd who give him a mix reaction, as they want to boo him for being an asshole, but want to cheer him for helping TPW beat WGWF. The "Man with Venom in his Veins" makes his way down the ramp, keeping his focus on the ring. Once he gets to ringside, he hops on the apron, wiping his boots, showing respect to the canvas where he is about to practice his craft. He then gets inside and makes his way to the corner, climbs to the second turnbuckle, and again just looks around at the crowd who still has mixed feelings about him. He takes off his t-shirt and acknowledges a fan here and there before picking one whom he tosses the t-shirt too. He hops down as his music fades; the ref checks him and then gets ready for the match to start. *
Steve Cotton: AND THE FINAL CONTESTANT! Born in Atlanta but branded in Houston, and weighing in tonight at 232.5lbs, A truly Troubled One.. THE DiOGee.. Jaaaassoooon! CAAAASHE!!
*The hymn-like hum vibrates through the area before Lauren Hill soundfully brings in the chorus to "Ready or Not". Jason Cashe comes out from the back. Looking around the arena at the live audience. Taking a long drag off an air joint, Cashe howls up into the sky, a few fans howl with him. Stopping as the aisle turns to ringside, Cashe drags a foot creating an imaginary line. This is the line where when passed, the talking stops. He steps into a jog, leaping up on the apron onto his left knee. He stands, ducking under the top rope to enter the ring. Growling into a roar at the live audience! Cashe was ready to scrap. *
Markson: This is going to be a wild match, no tags needed, if someone is knocked out of the ring you can come on in.
Napier: Who books this Shindy-riffic crap?
Markson: Alexander Marshall did.
Napier: Oh, what a great idea this match is.
DING! DING! DING!
*The match starts off with EL D and Lux. They circle each other and go to lock up, but Lux stops short and boots El D in the stomach. Lux grabs El D and whips him into the ropes, and as El D comes off Lux goes for a hip toss, but El D blocks it. El D then counters, spinning under Lux’s arm and catching Lux’s other arm and brining him down in a backslide.

Lux kics out, rolling up to his feet as he does. Lux charges at El D, but El D sidesteps, catching Lux by the head and throwing him over the top rope. El D turns around to see Jack N. Mehoff charging at him, and El D goes for a clothesline, but Jack ducks. El D spins around quickly but Jack nails him with The Johny Cage (Johny Cages Split Punch from Mortal Kombat). El D holds his crotch and staggers back to the ropes, as he does Cashe holds the ropes open and El D falls through them. *
Napier: HEY, THAT WAS A LOW BLOW!!!
Markson: Much like a three-way or a four-way, this match is technically no disqualification.
Napier: Then in that case someone give Lea a weapon.
*As El D falls out of the ring, Cashe jumps in and circles around with Jack. “BRING IT B*TCH!” Cashe yells at Jack.
Jack looks shocked and then turns and tags in Jayce. Ref Beard says there are no tags, and Jack just jumps out of the ring. Jayce shakes his head, steps in, and circles with Cashe. Cashe stops circling, steps up, and tells Jayce to bring it. Jayce responded by stepping forward and swinging a right hook at Cashe, but Cashe ducks, and lands a hook to the body of Jayce. Cashe keeps using body shots and big blows. Jayce tries covering up, but is driven into the corner.
Cashe grabs Jayce and whips him across the ring into the corner, but Jayce reverses sending Cashe into the corner. Cashe leaps to the second rope and jumps off with a spin around with a 2nd Rope Axe Handle (Jimmy King FTW), but Jayce sticks his hands up blocking it. Jayce then responds with an Open Palm Strike sending Cashe into the corner. Jayce charges into the corner, but Cashe throws his up, wrapping them around Jayce’s head. Cashe spins out of the corner, taking Jayce over with a hurriconranan, sending him rolling out of the ring. *
Markson: This match has been fast-paced since the bell sounded.
Napier: This isn’t going to be a war of attrition, this is going to a blitzkrieg of a match that I think will end with a flash finish,
Markson: WOW! That actually sounded analytical.
Napier: I’m full of surprises.
*Cashe rolls up to his feet, but as soon as he does Lea nails him from behind with a running forearm. Cashe stumbles forward and falls through the ropes as well. Leah puts her head on a swivel and is shocked when she sees it is El D who rolls into the ring first to take her on.
El D shrugs and shoulders and moves forward and the two meet in a lock-up. El D hits a go behind on Leah and grabs a headlock. From the headlock, he transitions into a hammerlock. Leah spins out of the hammerlock and takes El D down with a drop-toe hold. Leah spins on El D into a headlock. El D works up to his feet, wraps his arms around Leah, drives her back into the ropes, and then shoots her off across the ring. As Leah goes to hit the ropes, Jack pulls the top rope down and Lea goes tumbling over the top rope.
Jack rolls into the ring and smiles as he looks at El D. This time El D doesn’t charge, but instead waves for Jack to bring it on. They begin to circle when Cashe comes out of nowhere nailing Jack in the side of the head with a slap that staggers Jack into the corner. Cashe charges at Jack, but Jack puts a boot up. Cashe stops short, catching the boot of Jack. Cashe throws the boot down and gives Jack a Bell Clap (Double Ear Slap).
Cashe grabs the dazed Jack and whips him out of the corner at El D where El D catches him with a spinebuster. El D pops to his feet and as soon as he does Cashe grabs him from behind with a Russian Leg Sweep. *
Markson: Jason Cashe just totally disregarding the rules of this match.
Napier: I mean if it is no disqualification why would you pay attention to the rules?
*Cashe rolls up to his feet, and when he does he is caught with a Mexcan head scissors by Lux that sends Cashe falling to the outside. Lux wastes no time as he follows by with an over-the-top rope flipping pescado unto Cashe. This leaves the ring open, but not for long as Leah and Jayce both roll in.
Leah and Jayce get to their feet and look at each other across the ring. Jayce charges with a Yakuza Kick, but Leah cartwheels out of the way. Jayce turns around stunned and is nailed with Roundhouse kick from Leah that drops him. Leah runs to the corner where she leaps up with a Springboard moonsault coming down onto Jayce. Leah hooks the leg for the pin. *

LUX BREAKS THE PIN UP!
Markson: I think Jayce Pierce would have kicked out, even if Xavier Lux didn’t break it up.
Napier: But now we will never know.
*Lux breaks the pin attempt up with a diving forearm to the back. Lux pulls Leah up and throws her into the corner, where she goes between the top and middle turnbuckle before falling to the outside. Lux looks to see Jayce pushing himself up when Lux hops onto Jayce’s back and delivers a Code Red. Lux hooks for a pin.

Jayce stops the count as he pulls Cashe off of Jack with “The Silencer.” [Rear Naked Choke]*
Markson: This action is crazy, how is Ref Beard keepoing track of it all.
Napier: I don’t think he’ll have to keep track for long, it looks like Cashe is getting choked out.
*In a last ditch effort to free himself, Cashe charges backward driving Jayce into the corner, loosening his grip. Cashe staggers out of the corner and throws a backward kick that comes up right between Jayce’s leg. Jayce drops to his knee, and without even looking back Cashe charges to the ropes, but as he hits the ropes, Leah pulls the top rope down and Cashe tumbles to the outside.
Out of instinct Cashe begins to stagger to his feet, but as he begins to get up, Leah grabs him and throws Cashe head first into th security railing. Cashe falls to the ground dazed, but starts trying to push himself up when Leah blasts him with The Endgame (Punt Kick) to the face, dropping Cashe cold on the outside.
Leah turns around back to the ring, and as she does is wiped out by a suicide dive from Jayce. El D rolls back into the ring, and looks over to see Jack lying in the corner. El D moves quickly to grab Jack and pulls him to the middle of the ring. El D then moves to the turnbuckles and begins climbing up signalling that he is “Feeling Froggy”. As El D stands to the top ready to deliver the big splash, Lux hops onto the apron, knocking El D’s leg out form under him and crotching him on the top rope. *
Markson: OH MY! Good things El Diablo Blanco is done haiving little Diablitos.
Napier: He’ll never get misses Blanco back now.
*Lux steps into the ring and turns to climb the ropes as if going for a superplex on El D, but as he gets to the second rope, Jack comes from behind and nails Lux with the Donkey Punch (a strike to the sciatica nerve performed with surgical precision that renders his opponents legs completely numb, or to put it another way, a punch to the ass). Lux falls backward off the second rope, and Jack looks ready to finish him off when Jayce grabs Jack from behind and nails im with the “Three One Three.” (Belly to Back GTS)./ Jayce rolls over for the pin.

Steve Cotton: Here is your winner, earning a Prestige championship match at RetroMania…. XAVIEEEERRRRR LUUUXXXX!!!
*A mixed reaction comes from the crowd as Lux rolls to his feet and has his hand raised by Ref Beard. *
Markson: What an insanely action packed match.
Napier: That stupid El Diablo Blanco, why didn’t he just let Leah Aguero get the pin, secure a title match for The Cabal?
Markson: Just like the D & L Connection, The Cabal is dead. It was every competitor for themself.
Napier: Ugh, this is not looking good for the future of TPW.
Markson: Oh please, with the Cabal gone the future of TPW is brighter than the Hawaii sun.
Napier: Who books this Shindy-riffic crap?
Markson: Alexander Marshall did.
Napier: Oh, what a great idea this match is.
DING! DING! DING!
*The match starts off with EL D and Lux. They circle each other and go to lock up, but Lux stops short and boots El D in the stomach. Lux grabs El D and whips him into the ropes, and as El D comes off Lux goes for a hip toss, but El D blocks it. El D then counters, spinning under Lux’s arm and catching Lux’s other arm and brining him down in a backslide.

*El D is still ringside looking dejected as he holds his hands on his hips staring off into the crowd. El Diablo Blanco just can’t seem to find the success he once did. The fans are really letting El D know their disdain for him but that doesn’t deter The Backyard Phenom from reaching over to a fan and taking their box of popcorn. El D begins taking handfuls and shoveling it into his mouth as he walks over to the ramp.
El D tosses the remnants of the box of popcorn out into the crowd and hangs his head low as he walks up the ring. He stops suddenly, however, as the PA system begins playing “The Fox (What Did the Fox Say?)” by Ylvis. The paranoia takes over El D as he stops dead in his tracks. El D’s eyes dart in all directions to see why the music is playing.
Just then, someone attacks El Diablo Blanco from behind with a clubbing forearm to the back. It's El Diablo Blanco? Huh?! Everyone is confused as someone in vintage El D attire has appeared out of nowhere and mounting atop the downed El D. The Zubaz shorts, sleeveless shirt and blue and orange mask leaves fans bewildered but many are excited to see the turncoat El Diablo Blanco that they have come to know getting what’s coming to him.
Security finally arrives to try and pull this “fan?” off of El D but the fan is having none of it. The fan pulls El Diablo Blanco up to his feet by his horns and whips him so hard El D does a forward flip right into the barricade. Security circle the fan but he is far too quick. As quickly as this “fan” appeared and attacked El D, he disappeared back into the crowd. As he does the scene transitions back to the ringside commentary table. *

Markson: I'm... I'm not sure what just happened there. Was that a crazy fan? Are there two different El Diablo Blanco's? If so, which one is the real one?
Napier: The one who joined the Cabal was the real one, how could anyone ever cotinuesly put up with the Thunderamorons like El D used to?
Markson: For the love of the fans.
Napier: *fart noise*
Markson: *Sigh*, let's go to Steve Cotton in the ring for out next match.
*A crow caws.
The lights flicker, as the anxiety-inducing first few chords of Psychosocial erupt across the stadium. As all lights center to the top of the stage, creating a path of light down to the ring. Fans erupt into screams, as the Inquisitor's faithful murder whip out their flashlights. The Inquisitor walks out onto the ramp, clad in his leather trenchcoat, gloved hands in and full-black getup.
The eye-rings around his mask glint in the light, and you can almost feel him smile through it.
With a sudden burst, he dashes down the ring, sliding under the third rope. Throwing his arms out to his side, and his head in the air, he breathes in the sweet sound of fear and adoration. His hands jerk to grasp their opposite shoulders, in a self-hug of sorts. Giving himself a quick squeeze, he runs his hands along his shoulders and across his throat like blades before turning to face his opponent. *

Markson: The odd man known as Inquisition burst onto the scene at the last Friday Night Fury, winning the beat the clock challenge. But, will he preform as well tonight against the impressive American champion?
Napier: Well, clocks don't hit back.
*The TerryTron lights up to black and white footage of a golden pocket watch half buried in the sand. A surge of ocean water creeps up and further buries the watch as the eerie guitar riff of Change (In The House of Flies) by Deftones becomes audible throughout the arena.
I watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
The tron changes to a close-up shot of a campfire with dancing flames being twisted and blown by the wind.
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now, you feel so alive
I've watched you change
The shot changes to a close-up of a pair of black boots walking down a hallway in the back area of the stadium.
Napier: Is he coming out here or what? We ain't got all night.
I took you home
Set you on the glass
I pulled off your wings
Then I laughed
The tron goes dark and as the chorus of the song hits, towers of golden Pyro shoot out of the stage.
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
Now, you feel so alive
I've watched you change
It's like you never had wings
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
The TPW American Champion finally emerges from the back with a black hood over his head and the American Championship belt over his shoulder. He has a smirk on his face as he looks around at the crowd. He’s panting slightly. *
Markson: Maxwell Mason Stone won the American Championship back at Winter Wrestleland in December but tonight will be his first defense at Thunder In Paradise.
Napier: Listen here: I know, you know and everyone here knows that Stone wouldn't have that title if Junko didn't stick her nose where it didn't belong. As far as I'm concerned J Mont should still be the American Champion!
*Stone stares at Inquisition and then slowly walks down the aisle to the rhythm of the music.*
Markson: This is a different Maxwell Mason Stone here tonight. If you remember, he came into TPW almost a year ago under a mask and called himself 999. He had an entirely different air around him and I'm really getting those vibes from him as he enters the ring right now.
*Stone climbs the ring steps and ducks into the ring, never breaking eye contact with Inquisition. He hands the TPW American Championship to the referee and smirks at his opponent.*
Napier: You'd think the idiot would take his hoodie off, wouldn’t you? Then again that would probably add another 5 minutes to this agonizingly long entrance!

Steve Cotton: The following contest is an American Championship MATCH!!!
*Crowd pop. *
Steve Cotton: Introducing first, the challenger. Hailing from The Holy Courts, and weighing in at 223lbs, this is INQUISTIIIIIOOONNN!!!
*As Inquisition steps forward for his acknowledgment from the crowd, MMS charges out of the corner with a Knee to the gut, Stone strikes his opponent's mid section causing them to hurl over and in position for the Momenta Axis. MMS grabs Inquisition and delivers "Momenta Axis" - (Standing Inverted Powerbomb [aka Dominator]). Ref Mullet steps in and begins yelling at Stone and Stone yells at him saying "ring the damn bell. ". *
Napier: YES! About time Maxwell Mason Stone did things the right way.
Markson: The right way? You have no idea of what right and wrong is.
Napier: I know that winning is right.
*Ref Mullet shakes his head and calls for the bell. *
DING! DING! DING!
*MMS grabs Inquisition, lifting him to his feet and immediately delivers another "Momenta Axis" - (Standing Inverted Powerbomb [aka Dominator]). MMS makes the pin and Ref Mullet drops for the count.

Steve Cotton: Here is your winner, and STILL AMERICAN CHAMPION.... MAXWELLL MASON STOOOONNNEEEE!!!
Markson: I can't believe what we just saw.
Napier: I know, the FASTEST VICTORY IN TPW HISTORY. Talk about beating the clock.
*Stone takes the American Championship belt and raises it into the air to a lukewarm reaction from the crowd. He nods his head, smiles, then snatches the microphone away from Steve Cotton.*
MMS: Thunder Pro Wrestling! Look at my accomplishment here this evening. People have been telling me lately that I've been a little out of it. I've been told I'm a shell of myself… that I'm declining. The truth is, I've been through a whole hell of a lot lately and tonight was the first step in my healing process. Ask that SOB I just wiped the floor with if the bruises on his body were given to him by a man who is in decline.
Stone laughs and shakes his head.
MMS: Ask the man in the back if the fists that pummeled his flesh belonged to someone who was a hollow vessel, running on autopilot, going through the motions.
Markson: “Man in the back?” What’s he talking about?
MMS points to the TerryTron and smiles. The tron lights up with a shot of medical staff racing down a hallway towards the locker room.
MMS: I hate that I had to do it, I really did. Oftentimes the things that we don’t want to do are the ones that are the most necessary. But trust me, in time… you will all forgive me.
Maxwell Mason Stone drops the microphone in the center of the ring and exits as the tron shows the medical staff bursting into the locker room, pushing aside a swarm of wrestlers and TPW officials. The camera tilts downward to reveal LARRY TACT lying unconscious on the floor with his face obscured by blood.
Markson: No…. no that can’t be!
The crowd rains boos down on Maxwell Mason Stone who stops on the entrance stage and smiles at the crowd.
Markson: I can’t believe what I’m seeing and neither can the fans here in Aloha Stadium! This is absolutely horrible!
Napier: Well, Tact is the number one contender for Stone’s title so I guess he wanted to get things kicked off early. Maybe he’s not the idiot I thought he was.
The medic notices an object sticking on Larry’s back and the camera zooms to reveal a gray tattered 999 mask, held in place to the skin with a bloody staple.
Markson: THAT’S JUST GRUESOME! Why would Maxwell Mason Stone sink to such a low? There are others I would expect this kind of thing from but not Stone! Get the camera off that and let’s go to a commercial or something. I'm going to be sick.
MMS: Thunder Pro Wrestling! Look at my accomplishment here this evening. People have been telling me lately that I've been a little out of it. I've been told I'm a shell of myself… that I'm declining. The truth is, I've been through a whole hell of a lot lately and tonight was the first step in my healing process. Ask that SOB I just wiped the floor with if the bruises on his body were given to him by a man who is in decline.
Stone laughs and shakes his head.
MMS: Ask the man in the back if the fists that pummeled his flesh belonged to someone who was a hollow vessel, running on autopilot, going through the motions.
Markson: “Man in the back?” What’s he talking about?
MMS points to the TerryTron and smiles. The tron lights up with a shot of medical staff racing down a hallway towards the locker room.
MMS: I hate that I had to do it, I really did. Oftentimes the things that we don’t want to do are the ones that are the most necessary. But trust me, in time… you will all forgive me.
Maxwell Mason Stone drops the microphone in the center of the ring and exits as the tron shows the medical staff bursting into the locker room, pushing aside a swarm of wrestlers and TPW officials. The camera tilts downward to reveal LARRY TACT lying unconscious on the floor with his face obscured by blood.
Markson: No…. no that can’t be!
The crowd rains boos down on Maxwell Mason Stone who stops on the entrance stage and smiles at the crowd.
Markson: I can’t believe what I’m seeing and neither can the fans here in Aloha Stadium! This is absolutely horrible!
Napier: Well, Tact is the number one contender for Stone’s title so I guess he wanted to get things kicked off early. Maybe he’s not the idiot I thought he was.

*The scene fades from MMS standing in the ring holding the title over his head to a round of boos. *
*The shot opens the a door of Greg The Owner man's sky box. Security guards fhs door, their gaze blocked by dark glasses. The door opens and ths crowd lets out a HUGE pop as Harry “The Hairstylist” Hotcakes steps out of the door looking jacked and tan as ever.
As Harry goes to leave, he stops and looks back into the box. *
Hotcakes: And Greg, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the job. I won't disappoint you.
*Hotcakes turns, looks into the camera, and gives a winK before adjusting the collar of his pink suit and walking away.
The camera moves inside the luxury suite where we see Greg sitting in a parked leather chair that overlooks the massive sold-out stadium. The chair swivels around, sloshing the drink in Greg's hand. Despite the unintentionally spill Greg still has a large smile on his face. *
Greg T.O.M: Hello Thunderamaniacs. I wanted to thank you all for joining us, not only here in Hawaii, but those of you watching around the world on streaming and pay-per-view as well.
As you know, Alexander Marshall was fired at Friday Night Fury, meaning we do not have a president of operations currently. Now, I am remedying this, with the ink drying on a new contract for this position by the end of the night. It is someone I trust implicitly, they just have to agree to a few terms before I put my Herby Hancock on the contract.
So, make sure you join is at the next Fury to find out who this new president is, that is if they agree to the terms.
Cheers!
*Greg holds up his glass, pausing for a moment before taking a sip as the scene fades back to Steve Cotton in the ring ready to introduce the next match. *

*The lights fall to a dim twilight, as haze curls across the stage. The screen is black. Over the speakers, the sound of a church bell, chiming, echoes around the stadium. Once, twice. A crow squawks, in the distance. A third chime- interrupted by a flash of red that streaks across the screen, splitting open the dark, leaving it oozing blood. A shout goes up, a police whistle, then footsteps, running, coming closer…
A single gas streetlight sparks up on the stage, and a huge cheer goes up as the camera cuts in tight to Ava and Alessia’s faces. Under the flickering light, Alessia’s trademark even stare contrasts, as usual, with Ava’s wide-eyed smile. It pulls back, slowly, to reveal them leaning on the lampost, with long black coats. Far enough back to reveal, glinting in Ava’s hand, an open straight razor dripping with red. She grins, Alessia still just staring, and raises it to point at the camera… then snaps it shut as the stage goes dark.
A couple of moments later, their music hits and lights flood the stage again. Out of their coats and in their ring gear, Lights Out let out a roar to match the bellowing cheer from the crowd, Alessia rasing her arms high as Ava pounds her fist against her chest. They step forward together, feeding off the crowd’s energy as they pace towards the ring. Ava fistbumps a few members of the crowd, points and nods at a Lights Out sign - even Alessia, swept up in the moment, breaks the habit of a lifetime and offers a few high-fives.
At the base of the ramp they take a moment’s pause, feeling the wall of sound wash over them, then Ava leaps up onto the apron as Alessia climbs the stairs. They slip into the ring, turn to acknowledge the whole crowd’s cheers one last time. Then it’s all business - head to their corner, stretch, share a few last minute words, and wait for the introductions. *
Markson: Lights Out are looking to literally climb back to the top of the Duos division where they spent the summer reigning supreme.
Napier: They were cool for the summer, but that was it.
*The fans settle down as the camera lingers on the entranceway. Seconds later, the instrumental version of "Battle Royale" by Apashe hits, drawing a big pop from the crowd!*
Markson: They're here, Napier! The Flowers of Carnage... it's about to get violent!
Napier: This is a Hurricane Hustle match, Markson! It was gonna get violent whether these two were involved or not and, if I'm being honest, I'd rather they weren't! Not after everything Junko has done to make J Mont's life a living hell!
Markson: Are you being serious right now?!
*The cheers become even louder as Hanako Tohei emerges from the back first, dropping to her knees on the stage and looking out at the fans as Junko emerges behind her, lowering the hood on her jacket and taking a look around, a confident expression on her face.*
Markson: Junko and Hanako entered this tournament with a single goal... to see it through to the end, together. At this point, whether they win or not, this run has been one for the books. In the first round, they defeated John Cable and Sebastian St. Paul... they went on to defeat El Diablo Blanco and Leah Aguero, flag-bearing members of Peter Vaughn's Cabal, and the tag team of Robert Main and the man who will challenge for the TPW International Championship later tonight, "Chronic" Chris Page!
Napier: And now Junko is faced with surviving a ladder match before she moves on to a main event death match against J Mont, the greatest professional wrestler who ever lived! Some reward for all that effort! Real smart, Junko! Now you have the honor of getting your butt kicked twice in one night!
*Hanako rises and begins making her way down to the ring with Junko following behind. Hanako climbs onto the apron and turns her back to the ropes, looking out at the fans as Junko walks up the steps and climbs the turnbuckles, standing on the middle rope and throwing off her jacket as the fans continue cheering. She hops down into the middle of the ring before Hanako joins her inside and both direct their eyes upward, toward the prize hanging above the ring.*
Napier: Get a good look, ladies. That's as close as you're gonna get to it.
Markson: Win the SEX Cup, defeat J Mont… challenge for the International Championship. Those were Junko’s three resolutions for 2024. Two of those resolutions could come true right here tonight at Thunder in Paradise 3.
*Junko and Hanako walk to their corner, conversing in Japanese, putting together some manner of strategy. Hanako nods, listening intently as Junko gives her the rundown.*
Markson: Four established teams, only one prize... I'd be lying if I said the odds were in anyone's favor. This is truly an environment where anything can happen... anyone can win... and I don't think skill has much to do with it... only someone's willingness to do great violence and survive great violence done unto them. Either way, win or lose, Junko does not enter the main event tonight at one hundred percent.
Napier: It wouldn't matter if she did. J Mont's ready for her. I would say I hope she’s ready for him, too, for her sake… but I don’t care!
Markson: Look at her face, Napier. She's in it… living in the moment J Mont is the furthest thing from her mind right now. All that matters right now is the TPW SEX Cup.
*As the soulful strumming of “Mercy” by JJ Wilde hits the speakers, the houselights dull down as the stage begins flashing between a crimson red and a deep, soulful blue. As the verse begins, the duo of Matt Knox and Amber Ryan step out. Amber makes a beeline to the ring at a deliberate pace while Matthew walks ahead of her, slapping outstretched hands. As they get into the ring, Knox leans over the ropes to hype the fans further. He returns to Amber, attempting to discuss strategy only to have her step out onto the apron. *
Markson: Never//More looking to be the first-ever two-time winners of the S.E.X Cup here tonight.
Napier: Please, Matt Knox chokes in the big one.
Markson: He didn’t choke at Winter Wrestleland.
*Strobe lights begin to flash as "Cowboys From Hell" by Pantera starts playing. As the chuggy main riff of the song starts the Rogues’ Gallery, Jeremy The Wicked, Superunknown, and their manager, Frances Farmer, emerge onto the stage from behind the curtain. Frances leans down in front of Jeremy The Wicked and Superuknown and surveys the crowd. They toss their arms triumphantly into the air before they head to the ring.*
Markson: Our current Duos Champions, Rouge’s Gallery, they are certainl heavy favorites in this match.
Napier: They are lucky to still be employed after what they did to Alexander Marshall at Uncivil War.
Markson: Well, they are STILL employed, UNLIKE Alexander Marshall.
Steve Cotton: The following contest is the third annual HURRICANE HUSTLE MATCH and the S.E.X CUP FINALS!!!
*Crowd pops. *
Steve Cotton: Introducing the first team, at a total combined weight of 225lbs, the team of Junko Souma & Hanako Tohei… THE FLOWERS OF CAAAAARRRRNNNAAAGGGEEEE!!!
*The crowd cheers as Junko and Tohei pose in their corner. As they pose streamers coming flying in from the crowd for the traditional Japnese way to show respect for your favorite wrestler and to hype up big matches. *
Steve Cotton: Introducing the next team. Weighing in at total combined weight of 255lbs, they are the former TPW Duo’s champions, the team of Ava Artur and Alessia Angelo… LIGHT OOOUUUUTTTT!!!
*The crowd pops again as Ava and Alessia pose in the corner, and again the crowd throws streamers for one fo the favorite teams in TPW. *
Steve Cotton: Introducing next, weighing in at a total combined weight of 376ls, they are the winners of the first ever S.E.X Cup tournament, and the first ever TPW Duos champions. The team of former International champion Matt Knox and Amber Bane-Ryan, this is NEVER//MOOOOORRREEEEE!!!
*The crowd pops and again throws streamers as Knox and Amber stare holes through their opponents from their corners. *
Steve Cotton: And finally, the last team. At the total combined weight 465lbs, they are the current REIGNING AND DEFENDING, TPW DUOS CHAMPINS! The team of Jeremy The Wicked and Superunkown, this is ROUGE’S GAAAALLLLLEEERRRRRYYYY!!!
*The crowd boos as JTW and Superunkown pose with the TPW Duos titles in the corner. The streamers are pulled from the ring, as Steve Cotton exits the ring and Rouge’s Gallery hands their championship belts to a ringside attendant. *
Markson: This is going to be an awesome match, I’ve been pumped for this since the brackets were announced.
Napier: I hope Knox gets thrown into one of those running like Amber did the first time we had one of these.
DING! DING! DING!
*As the bellsounds Lights Out jump on JTW, and begin double teaming him with shots, while FOC do the same to Superunknown, with Matt Knox at their side, going 3 on 1 on the largest man in the match. Amber on the other hand rolls out of the ring, pulls a chair out from under the ring and immediately heads for on of the industrial fans ready to destroy it before it even starts up. Head of Security, Charles O’Patrick steps up and holds his hands up, pointing out security around all the fans to not let them be destroyed early. Amber snarls and turns back to the ring.
Meanwhile in the ring, Light Out have JTW in the corner and are peppering him with rights and lefts, dropping him to the mat. FOC and Knox have Superunkown driven back into the corner as well, and he’s trying to cover up. Superunknown reaches out grabbing Tohei by the hair and shoves her backward to the mat. Superunkown then kicks Knox between the legs, dropping him.
Junko stands alone now but keeps on fighting, going for a forearm, but Superunkown blocks it and hits Junko in the jaw with a back elbow dropping her. As Junko goes down Amber comes out of nowhere and slams the chair into the head of Superunknown. Superunkown falls back into the cuirner, slumping down, and Amber slams the chair into the top of his head again dropping him to the mat.
Amber takes the chair and wedges it between the middle and bottom rope over Superunkown’s face and then steps out of the way as Tohei comes charging in with a dropkick to the chair, slamming it into the face of Superunown. *
Markson: It appears that everyone is teaming up and taking out our current duos champions.
Napier: It only makes sense, they are clearly the biggest threats in this match.
*Superunknown rolls out of the ring dazed while his partner JTW is down in the corner as Alessia and Ave bot back up in opposite corner and then charge and deliver a double face was kick to JTW. JTW rolls out of the ring as well. Lights Out then turn and stare down with Never//More and Flowers of Carnage. The Aloah Stadium crown begins to roar with excitement as all three teams face off. They all nod at each other and then charge toward the center of the ring.
Knox and Ava square off, while Tohei and Amber, and Junko and Alessia pair off in the brawl as well. Knox goes for front kick, but Ava catches his foot. Knox immediately goes for an enziguri, but Ava ducks it while keeping hold of Knox’s foot. Knox is able to land on his foot with his back to Ava, and Knox keeps moving as e preforms a reverse enzugri and nails Ava with the kick knowing her to the mat and sending her rolling out of the ring,
Amber and Tohei are brawling back and forth, trading forearms. Amber stuns Tohei with a forearm that catches her in the ear. Amber takes a step back and then goes for a Yakuza kick, but Tohei ducks. Amber spins around, but when she does she spins right arond into Idol Hands (Discus Polish Hammer) from Tohei, dropping Amber to the mat where she also rolls out of the ring. *
Napier: What a mark Tohei is.
Markson: What do you mean?
Napier: She just used Terry Marshall’s finishing move, Thunder Struck,
Markson: It is just a coincidence.
Napier: It’s just a suckup tactic.
*Junko and Alessia are blocking, dodging, and countering each others shots, when Junko blocks a hook from Alessia, spinning under, hooking the hand of Alessia, and whipping Alessia into the corner. Junko charges in looking for a running hip attack into the corner, but Alessia moves and Junko hits the turnbucklesback first and hard.Junk staggers out holding her back, when Alessia takes her down with a running STO. Junko like the other rolls to the outside.
Alessia is quick to her feet, and looks back to see Knox and Tohei circling each other. Alessia backs into a corner and watches as Knox charges at Tohei going for a jumping knee, but Tohei rolls under. Tohei comes to her feet, springing off the middle rope with a moonsault, but Alessia steps in catching Tohei and drops Tohei with a tombstone piledriver.
Alessia is still holding onto Tohei from the tombstone position when Knox grabs Alessia from behind in a waist lock. Knox deadlifts Alessia wile she is holding onto Tohei still, and Knox executes a deadlift German suplex on Alessia, releasing her. Alessia flips upside down through the air and lands with Tohei giving Alessia a tombstone piledriver. *
Markson: HOLY GUACAMOLE!!!
Napier: In all my years around this sport I have never seen anything like that.
Steve Cotton: The fans are NOW BEING POWERED ON!!! Wind speeds set to 25MPH!!!
*While all this is going on JTW and Superunkown are headed up the entrance way headed for the ladders, but as they reach them Ava, Junko, and Amber strike from behind, first all three shove Superunkown into one of the ladders, knocking the ladder and him over. JTW looks over to see his partner being attacked three on one and springs into action, spearing Amber into the security railing.
JTW stands up as Amber sinks against the railing. As JTW gets up he turns to see Ava and Junko both holding onto a single ladder and charging at him. JTW doesn’t have time to get out of the way and it nailed in the face by the ladder, knocking him to the ground, and splitting his forehead open.
Ava tries to pull the ladder away from Junko, but she holds onto it and tries to pull it away from Ava. Ava and Junko begin fighting over the ladder, engaging in a bit of a tug o’war over it. As they are busy fighting they don’t see Superunkown getting up, and grabbing a ladder. Superunkown folds the lader up, lifts it overhead, and throws it at Ava and Junko, hitting both of them in the side of the head, and knocking them down. *
Markson: Jeremy The Wicked is busted open, but I think Ava Arthur and Junko Souma may both be concussed.
Napier: They’re fine, there is nothing in their heads to damage anyway.
*Superunkown walks over them and lids the ladder, and just as he lifts it Knox comes running down the isle way, and lands a jumping pump kick to the ladder, knocking Superunkown down with the ladder on top of him. Knox turns to the security railing, spring boards onto it, and comes off with a lionsault onto the ladder on top of Superunkown. Knox rolls up holding his sternum, and as he does Amber flies in with a back senton onto the ladder, crushing Superunkown further.
Back in the ring, Ava and Tohei are both climbing to their feet and lock eyes as they both hold their necks. Ave and T ohei charge at each other, and Tohei goes high with a dropkick, but Ava baseball slides under it. Tohei is able to land on all-fours, as Ava pops up form the slide. Ava strikes quickly, going for a running knee, but Tohei cartwheels from a bear crawl, avoiding the knee.
Both women square off again on their feet and the crowd roars with cheers as they charge each other again. Tohei throws a front kick that Ava, swats away, and Tohei spins around going for a superkick, but Ava is able to dodge it and land a back leg front kick that rocks Tohei in the face. Tohei spins in 180 degrees and falls on her knee. Ava turns, hits the ropes and comes back with a Metiora to the back of Tohei. *
Markson: OH MY! Ava Arthur just drove Hanako Tohei’s head into the mat.
Napier: Forget that, we got those stupid idiots in Never//More breaking their bodies on ladders trying to keep Superunkon down.
Markson: I’ve got a feeling a lot of bodies will be hitting a lot of ladders tonight.
Steve Cotton: Wind speed increasing to… 50 MILES PER HOUR!!!
*As the windspeed picks up, the trophies begin to sway back and forth. Knox and Amber grab a ladder and begin headinr the ring as Ava stands ready to tight them both. Just as they get down t ringside, JTW charges from behind, leaving Knox with a running forearm to the back of the head. Knox goes down to all fours and JTW places a boot to his ribs. Amber grabs JTW, spins him around, and sprays mist into his face. JTW grabs his face and staggers backward, tripping over Knox’s body and falling to the ground.
Amber smirks as she wipes the mist from her chin, and then turns back to grab the ladder. As Amber turns back to the ladder, Ava baseball slide dropkicks the ladder into the face of Amber, knocking her back and to the ground. Ava quickly rolls to her feet and grabs the ladder. Ava pulls the ladder into the ring, sets it up, and begins climbing.
As Ava begins climbing the ladder, Junko makes her way down the entranceway and tries sliding in the ring, but as she does, Alessia comes behind her, grabbing her leg. Alessia yanks hard, pulling Junko out of the ring, and she lands on her face on the floor. Ava looks over to see Alessia pull Junko out and beigns to climb again, when Tohei comes up behind Ava.
Tohei grabs Ava’s leg, and Ava tries kicking Tohei off with her other leg, but Tohei dodges the first kick, and then catches the second kick. Tohei pulls Ava’s feet hard, jerking her off the ladder, and sending Ava landing on her face on the mat. *
Napier: Lights Out and Flowers Of Carnage aren’t uniting in womanhood, they want to see who the baddest b*tches in TPW are.
Makrson: Any four of those women could take you Nick.
Napier: Oh please, like I’d every be alone with anyone of those four women.
*Alessia slides into the ring as Tohei heads up the ladder. Alessia hops on the other side of the ladder and begins climbing up. Tohei gets to the top of the ladder first, reaching up for the trophies, but they are just out of reach. As Tohei goes to take another step up Alessia fires a shot into her stomach. Alessia climbs up level with Tohei , and as se gets up Tohei chops Alessia in the throat. Alessia hold on with one hand and then fires a headbutt into the face of Tohei. Tohei is blindied for a moment as Alessia takes another step up and reaches for the trophies.
Tohei recovers and throws her head forward, sinking her teet into the stomach of Alessia and bitting her. Alessa sceams and punches at Tohei’s head, when suddenly Knox slides into the ring and begins shoving the ladder over. Tohei unlatches from the stomac of Alessia, just as Knox shoves the ladder over. Alessia and Tohei try to hope off the ladder, but it already too far over and they both fall onto the top rope, landing stomach first. *
Markson: OH MY! It looks like Alessia Angelo and Hanako Tohei just got cut in half.
Napier: If those women would thicken up it wouldn’t hurt them as bad.
*Knox pulls the ladder back up, setting it up and begins to climb up it, but as soon as Knox gets on the ladder JTW slides back into the ring. JTW heads for the ladder, but as soon as he gets on the first rung of the ladder Amber slides into the ring and heads for him. JTW sees her coming and fires an elbow at her head, but Amber catches the arm and armdrags JTW off the ladder.
JTW hits the mat and rolls up, and as he gets to his feet Amber nails him with a Yakuza kick. JTW falls back into the ropes and comes back with a Rebound Clothesline, but Amber ducks it, catching JTW’s arm and spinning him around into a DDT. Amber rolls up and begins climbing the ladder with Knox.
Knox reahces down, taking Amber’s hand and helping her climb up to his level. Both Knox and Amber reach up to grab the trophies when a ladder comes flying into the scene like a javelin, nailing Knox in the side of the head, knocking Knox off the ladder with him landing onto the turnbuckles.*
Markson: Superunkown is up and he just used that ladder like a spear and knocked Matt Knox off the ladder.
Napier: Superunknown looks pissed, and a pissed off Superunkown is a very dangerous thing.
*Amber looks up at the trophies and then down at Superunkown who is stepping into the ring. Amber leaps off the top of the ladder onto Superunkown with a crossbody, but Superunknown catches her. Superunkown throws Amber up onto his shoulders and then presses her over his head. Tohei and Alessia are both starting to get up, trying to pull themselves up with the railing when Superunkown throws Amber over the top ropes onto Tohei and Alessia, dropping them all down to the ground. *
Markson: And now Superunkown stands alone.
Napier: But for how long? You can’t waste anytime in a match like this.
*Superunkown grabs the ladders and set them both up side by side, and then begins climbing up both of them at the same time, one foot on eac ladder, making sure he is extra stable. As Superunkown is close to the top Junko appears on the apron. Junko slingshots herself to the top rope and then leaps onto the opposite side of the ladder from Superunkown.
Junko quickly scales up the ladder to the top, and as she reaches for the trophies, Superunkown’s hand grabs her by the throat. Superunkown climbs up to level with her, bu as he does she grabs his fingers and begins peeling them off. As Junko is fighting off the grip of Superunkown, JTW begins to climb up the ladder beside Superunkown.
Junko gets Superunkown’s hand pried from her throat and lands a hard right to his face. Junko goes for another right when JTW slams a shot to the stomach of Junko. JTW and Superunkow both begin slamming fists to the body of Junko, and then both grab her by the throat. Rogue’s Gallery both lift Junko and deliver a double chokeslam to her from the top of the ladder, Junko lands on the mat hard and lays lifeless. *
Markson: HUGE DOUBLE CHOKESLAM!!!
Napier: Looks like Junko isn’t going to make it to her match later tonight.
Markson: And now the Duos champions are alone at the top of the ladder, ready to grab the S.E.X Cup trophies.
Steve Cotton: Wind speed increasing to… 75MPH!!!
*As the fans begin to blow harder and move the trophies around more, JTW and Superunkown step up one more rung and begin to reach for the tropies. They ty to grab the swaying trophies, but miss them, and try to grab thema gain when two figures in all black sweat suits, and black sky mask armed with chairs, jump the railing, hop onto the apron, slide into the ring and smack Rogue’s Gallery from behind with the chairs.
Rogue’s Gallery sink into he ladders as the masked figures throw th chairs down. The masked figures move to the other side of the ladders and quickly clmb them like nimble monkeys. The masked men grab the heads of Rogue’s Gallery and bang them off the top of the ladders, and then hook them. The masked figures pull Rogue’s Gallery up, and stand on the top of the ladders. The Masked Figures ten deliver stereo Spanish Flies from the top of the ladder. The land with a huge impact, even the masked figures are dazed. *
Markson: Who the heck is that? Those people just cost Rogue’s Gallery the S.E.X Cup.
Napier: They are up, and pulling the ski masks off.
Markson IT’S, IT’S… ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!
*The masked figures stand up and pull their ski masks off reavling the Malvado’s. The Malvados throw the ski masks down, then roll out of the ring, and reach under the ring. The Malvados pull out two table and unfold them side by side. They then reach under the ring and pull out two more tables and stack them up ontop of the tables they already have set up. The Malvados roll back into the ring, grab Rogue’s Gallery, and put them on top of the tables.
The Malvados turn back to the ladders, really to climb, but they see Lights Out, Never/More, and Tohei all sliding into the ring and glarring at them. The Malvados look at each other, then at Rogue’s Gallery, and slide out of the ring. The Malvado’s head up the security railing as everyone in the ring watches them. *
Markson: Looks like The Malvados weren’t finished with Rogue’s Gallery, but thought better of fighting five on two.
Napier: Discretion is the better part of valor. The Malvados haven’t gotten a Duos championship match since defeating Rogue’s Gallery at Night of the Living Dead, and just made their mark on Rogue’s Gallery, letting them know they want a title match.
Markson: Well maybe they should have just won the S.E.X Cup then.
Napier: Pssh, just attacking the champs is way easier.
*The five members all turn back and look at each other. Tohei is moving arond the ladders and checking on Junko, helping her to her feet. As soon as Junko stands everyone breaks into action. Lights Out and Amber run to one side of the ladder, while Junko and Tohei move to the other side. Alessia shoves Amber off the ladder, but Knox grabs Alessia by the head and throws her over the top rope, but Alessia grabs the top rope as she goes over. Alessia skins the cat, throwing her legs back over, and wraps them around Knox’s head. Alessa pulls her body back down, and takes Matt Knox over the top rope to the outside with a head scissors.
Ava and Amber are climbing up the ladder while Tohei and Junko climb up the other side. The four women have a precarious climb to the top as the ladders shake from the winds from the fans. They finally reach the top, all four at the same time, and immediately being trading shots. Ava and Junko are trading forearms while Tohei and Amber are slugging in it. Amber rocks Tohei with a hard right to the ear, and then grabs Tohei’s head and slams it into the ladder, sending Tohei sliding down the ladder a bit.
Meanwhile, Junko blocks a forearm from Ava, and throws a headbut into the face of Ava. Ava is rocked backward, and Junko throws a round house kick from the ladder catching Ava in the head, and knocking her off the ladder. Junko takes a step higher, as we seee Amber digging in her pocket. Amber shoves something into her mouth and takes a step up and spits a mouth full of thumbtacks into the face of Junko. Junko clutches her face and falls off the ladder to the mat below.
Amber steps up to try and grab the trophies, but as she does Tohei throws a headbutt into the stomach of Amber, doubling her over. Tohei steps up to the level of Amber, and hooks Amber for a suplex. Tohei lifts Amber up and delivers a superplex from the top of the ladder, but Tohei kicks off of the ladder hard, sending them both falling over the top rope and crashing down onto the members of Rogue’s Gallery and all four crashing through the tower of tables. *
Crowd: HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!
Markson: HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!
Napier: LANGUAGE MARK! You and these Thunderamorons are such potty mouths.
*On the outside Alessia has grabbed a table of her own and set it up so that one end is on the railing, and the other is on the ring apron. As Alessia sets the table up, Knox has gotten to his feet. Alessia turns from setting the table up, into a pump kick from Knox that sneds Alessia toppling over the table to the other side. Knox takes a moment to shake the cobwebs free, and as Alessia stands up, Knox thrust kicks the side of the table, sending it flying with speed and force into the chest of the rising Alessia. The force knocks Alessia backward to the ground.
Knox begins to move toward Alessia but hears the sound of footsteps. Knox turns his head to see Ava flying through the ropes with a suicide dive. Knox sidesteps and catches Ava under the arms, spinning her around and slamming her onto the table with a blackhole slam, but the table doesn’t break.
Knox hops onto the apron, and grabs Ava by the head and begins to lift her up when Alessia hops onto the apron and slams a forearm into the side of Knox’s head. Knox drops Ava and staggers backward on the apron, holding himself up with the top rope. Alessia charges down the apron at him, but Knox catchs her, scooping her up onto his shoulders and deliver Into The Void (GTS). Alessia falls off the apron and to the floor. *
Steve Cotton: Wind speed increasing to… 100MPH!!!
Markson: Matt Knox just took Alessia Angelo out.
Napier: If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, Alessia Angel is the weak link of that team.
Markson: STOP IT! No she is not.
*Knox goes to step into the ring when Ava charges down the apron and nails him with an Irish drop kick. Knox flies into the turnbuckles, still on the apron. Ava rolls to her feet and charges again, but Knox spins arond and catches her with a crescent kick. Ava is rocked on the apron and Knox grabs her, and delivers an exploder suplex, throwing Ava off the apron and into on of the large industrial fans. The fan explodes with sparks and immediately stops working. *
Napier: HOLY SH*T!
Crowd: HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!
Markson: LANGUAGE NICK!
Napier: Oops, sorry.
*Knox pulls himself back up using the ropes, but as soon as Knox gets to his feet, Junko comes out of nowhere with a Shotgun Dropkick, sending Knox flying of the apron and into the security railing. The crowd is roaring as Junko rolls up to her feet, seeing everyone else down, and then looks up at the S.E.X Cups hanging above the ring. Junko moves to the ladder and begins climbing the ladder.
The closer to the top Junko gets te more the louder the crowd cheers. Junko begins reaching for the trophies which are still swaying around, even with just three fans. Junko keeps reaching for the titles, when another figure in all black and a Malvado mask jumps the security railing and slides into the ring. *
Markson: Are these dag on Malvados back out here again? They need to be thrown out of the building.
Napier: That is no way to talk about the former S.E.X Cup and Hurricane Hustle winners.
*Junko looks down to see the much larger than normal Malvado, ad she throws a kick at them, but it is swated away as theMalvado continues to climb. Junko throws a punch to the head of the Malvado, but the fresh Malvado throws a hard punch of his own rocking Junko. The Malvado climbs up higher, grabbing Junko by the head. The Malvad leaps off the top of the ladder, taking Junko with him and delivering a JKO (RKO).
Junko lands chest first on the mat, but also on a steel chair that was laying in the ring. Junko rolls over clutching her chest, weezing as if she is having trouble breathing. The Malvado rolls up to his knees and pulls his mask off revealing it to be JMont. *
Markson: JMONT… YOU NO GOOD SON OF A…
Napier: Language Mark, come on, you are being very unclassy tonight.
Markson: SHUT NICK! The Cabal isn’t in power anymore, stop sucking up to Alexander’s chosen guys.
*JMont begins laughing as he rolls out of the ring. Security rush to JMont and begin pushing him up the entrance way. Meanwhile, Alessia rolls back into the ring, and looks over to see Knox pulling himself into the ring as well. Alessia looks over to see both members of Rogue’s Galery, as well as Tohei and Amber stirring as well. Alessia charges at Knox as Knox gets onto the apron, but he sees her coming and springs to the top rope and leaps over her, landing on is feet. Alessia spins around but spins right into the Dead and Lovely (Leaping inside crescent kick) from Knox. The kick sends her falling between the top and middle rope to the apon.
Knox sees JTW grabbing another ladder as Superunkown rolls into the ring. Knox charges at Supernkown as he gets into the ring, but Superunkown throws his hand up from his knees catching Knox around the throat. Superunkown comes up to his knees holding Knox by the throat and lifts him for a chokeslam, but as he does Amber jumps into the ring holding a thick canvas bag and slams it into the back of Superunkown’s head.
Superunknown falls to his knees, as Knox looks at Amber. Amber smiles and then dumps the bag out spilling thousands of thumbtacks onto the mat. Knox smirks and nods his head as the grabs Superunkown. Amber hops to the turnbuckle, but as she does JTW slides the third ladder intot he ring and hops on the apron. JTW charges toward Amber, but Tohei comes from the floor, grabbing JTW’s foot, and tripping him onto his face.
Knox lifts Superunkown up into a vertabreaker and Amber leaps off the second rope, as Never//More delivers the E2L (Spike Vertebreaker) on Superunkow into the tacks. *
Napier: Never//More just killed one half of our Duos champions.
Markson: Superunkown is one of the most reselient people I’ve ever seen, but I don’t think anyone can recover from that.
*Tohei pulls JTW off the apron and throws him into the security railing, and then slides into the ring. Ambr and Knox have begun climbing. Tohei grabs third ladder, lifts it and throws it into the side of Knox. Knox falls of the ladder, falling onto the ropes stomach first, this sling shots him backward into the ring, where he collides with the ladders, knocking them back over the other way, sending Amber falling off the ladder as well.
Tohei looks at everyone else being down and grabs the ladder and pulls it up. Tohei begins climging, but as she gets to the third rung, the leg on the ladder buckles and collapses. The crowd begins booing widely, as Tohei in anger throws the broken ladder out of the ring onto the downed Superunkown. *
Napier: That is what TPW gets for using Harbor Freight ladders.
Markson: Those aren’t Harber Freight ladders, those ladders have just been through a lot in this match.
Steve Cotton: Wind speeds increasing to.. 125MPH, NOW AT CATAGORY FIVE WIND SPEEDS!!!
Markson: We are at max air speed now, as if it wasn’t already going to be hard enough for someone to retrieve the cup trophies.
*Tohei grabs the ladder JTW had slid into the ring and sets it up. Tohei begins climbing, but as she does JTW rolls into the ring, grabs the other ladder, and begins climbing up opposite of Tohei. As they climb and reach for the belts, Amber and Knox crawl to the ladders, and are at the bottom of them as Tohei and JTW reach the top. Tohei sees JTW getting to the top of his ladder and the throws an elbow into the side of his head. JTW is shaken, but throws a chop into the side of Tohei.
As they fight at the top, Amber begins climbing up the opposite side of JTW, while Knox climbs opposite Tohei. Amber gets to the top first and join in with Tohei on fighting JTW. JTW is getting double teamed and respnds by throwing a thumb into the eye of Amber. Tohei goes to hit him again, but is cut off by Knox. JTW then stuns Knox with a back hand.
JTW grabs Knox to throw him off when Amber blasts JTW with a right ahnd. JTW responds wit a punch of his own. Amber goes for another but JTW catches her wirth an eye rake. JTW grabs Amber, pulling her over his shoulder, hooking her head with one arm, and her leg with the other. JTW look down, and then leaps off the ladder delivering an Air Raid Crash to Amber through the table that was set up between the ring and securtiy railing. *
Napier: GOOD LORD, THEIR DEAD!!!
Markson: JTW just took Amber Bane-Ryan out of this match, and maybe out of the sport entirely.
*Medical officials rush to ringside to check on JTW and Amber. While Knox and Tohei look on stunned. Suddenly Tohei snaps back to reality and nails Knox with a forearm. Tohei then reaches up trying to grab the cup but it sways from her hand. Knox reaches up, barley getting his hand on the cup, and slams the cup into the forehead of Tohei. Knox delivers a second shot with the cup and Tohei falls from the ladder, and lands hard on the mat.
Knox takes one more step up to get a better hand on the swaying cups. Knox reaches up and grabs the cups, when Alessia spring to the top rope and leaps off of them landing on Knox’s back. Alessia wraps her legs around Knox’s waist and her arms arond his neck in a rear naked choke. *
Markson: OH MY! Alessia Angelo is choking Matt Knox out sixteen feet above the ring.
Napier: You had me at Matt Knox getting choked out.
*Knox tries pulling the cups down, but then turns his attention to his neck as he tries to fight Alessia off. Knox begins to fade as Alessia sinks the choke in deeper. In a last effort Knox takes a step up to the very last rung, and with the cups blowing around widely in the wind one of them smacks into the head of Alessia, knocking her off Knox’s back.
Both Alessia and Knox fall sideways off the ladder, but Knox catches himself on the other ladder as Alessia falls to the mat below. Knox pulls himself up and as the cups sway around Knox grabs one and yanks it down for the victory. *
Steve Cotton: Here are your winners, and NEW S.E.X CUP CHAMPIONS.... NEVEEERRRRR MOOORRRREEEE!!!
A single gas streetlight sparks up on the stage, and a huge cheer goes up as the camera cuts in tight to Ava and Alessia’s faces. Under the flickering light, Alessia’s trademark even stare contrasts, as usual, with Ava’s wide-eyed smile. It pulls back, slowly, to reveal them leaning on the lampost, with long black coats. Far enough back to reveal, glinting in Ava’s hand, an open straight razor dripping with red. She grins, Alessia still just staring, and raises it to point at the camera… then snaps it shut as the stage goes dark.
A couple of moments later, their music hits and lights flood the stage again. Out of their coats and in their ring gear, Lights Out let out a roar to match the bellowing cheer from the crowd, Alessia rasing her arms high as Ava pounds her fist against her chest. They step forward together, feeding off the crowd’s energy as they pace towards the ring. Ava fistbumps a few members of the crowd, points and nods at a Lights Out sign - even Alessia, swept up in the moment, breaks the habit of a lifetime and offers a few high-fives.
At the base of the ramp they take a moment’s pause, feeling the wall of sound wash over them, then Ava leaps up onto the apron as Alessia climbs the stairs. They slip into the ring, turn to acknowledge the whole crowd’s cheers one last time. Then it’s all business - head to their corner, stretch, share a few last minute words, and wait for the introductions. *
Markson: Lights Out are looking to literally climb back to the top of the Duos division where they spent the summer reigning supreme.
Napier: They were cool for the summer, but that was it.
*The fans settle down as the camera lingers on the entranceway. Seconds later, the instrumental version of "Battle Royale" by Apashe hits, drawing a big pop from the crowd!*
Markson: They're here, Napier! The Flowers of Carnage... it's about to get violent!
Napier: This is a Hurricane Hustle match, Markson! It was gonna get violent whether these two were involved or not and, if I'm being honest, I'd rather they weren't! Not after everything Junko has done to make J Mont's life a living hell!
Markson: Are you being serious right now?!
*The cheers become even louder as Hanako Tohei emerges from the back first, dropping to her knees on the stage and looking out at the fans as Junko emerges behind her, lowering the hood on her jacket and taking a look around, a confident expression on her face.*
Markson: Junko and Hanako entered this tournament with a single goal... to see it through to the end, together. At this point, whether they win or not, this run has been one for the books. In the first round, they defeated John Cable and Sebastian St. Paul... they went on to defeat El Diablo Blanco and Leah Aguero, flag-bearing members of Peter Vaughn's Cabal, and the tag team of Robert Main and the man who will challenge for the TPW International Championship later tonight, "Chronic" Chris Page!
Napier: And now Junko is faced with surviving a ladder match before she moves on to a main event death match against J Mont, the greatest professional wrestler who ever lived! Some reward for all that effort! Real smart, Junko! Now you have the honor of getting your butt kicked twice in one night!
*Hanako rises and begins making her way down to the ring with Junko following behind. Hanako climbs onto the apron and turns her back to the ropes, looking out at the fans as Junko walks up the steps and climbs the turnbuckles, standing on the middle rope and throwing off her jacket as the fans continue cheering. She hops down into the middle of the ring before Hanako joins her inside and both direct their eyes upward, toward the prize hanging above the ring.*
Napier: Get a good look, ladies. That's as close as you're gonna get to it.
Markson: Win the SEX Cup, defeat J Mont… challenge for the International Championship. Those were Junko’s three resolutions for 2024. Two of those resolutions could come true right here tonight at Thunder in Paradise 3.
*Junko and Hanako walk to their corner, conversing in Japanese, putting together some manner of strategy. Hanako nods, listening intently as Junko gives her the rundown.*
Markson: Four established teams, only one prize... I'd be lying if I said the odds were in anyone's favor. This is truly an environment where anything can happen... anyone can win... and I don't think skill has much to do with it... only someone's willingness to do great violence and survive great violence done unto them. Either way, win or lose, Junko does not enter the main event tonight at one hundred percent.
Napier: It wouldn't matter if she did. J Mont's ready for her. I would say I hope she’s ready for him, too, for her sake… but I don’t care!
Markson: Look at her face, Napier. She's in it… living in the moment J Mont is the furthest thing from her mind right now. All that matters right now is the TPW SEX Cup.
*As the soulful strumming of “Mercy” by JJ Wilde hits the speakers, the houselights dull down as the stage begins flashing between a crimson red and a deep, soulful blue. As the verse begins, the duo of Matt Knox and Amber Ryan step out. Amber makes a beeline to the ring at a deliberate pace while Matthew walks ahead of her, slapping outstretched hands. As they get into the ring, Knox leans over the ropes to hype the fans further. He returns to Amber, attempting to discuss strategy only to have her step out onto the apron. *
Markson: Never//More looking to be the first-ever two-time winners of the S.E.X Cup here tonight.
Napier: Please, Matt Knox chokes in the big one.
Markson: He didn’t choke at Winter Wrestleland.
*Strobe lights begin to flash as "Cowboys From Hell" by Pantera starts playing. As the chuggy main riff of the song starts the Rogues’ Gallery, Jeremy The Wicked, Superunknown, and their manager, Frances Farmer, emerge onto the stage from behind the curtain. Frances leans down in front of Jeremy The Wicked and Superuknown and surveys the crowd. They toss their arms triumphantly into the air before they head to the ring.*
Markson: Our current Duos Champions, Rouge’s Gallery, they are certainl heavy favorites in this match.
Napier: They are lucky to still be employed after what they did to Alexander Marshall at Uncivil War.
Markson: Well, they are STILL employed, UNLIKE Alexander Marshall.
Steve Cotton: The following contest is the third annual HURRICANE HUSTLE MATCH and the S.E.X CUP FINALS!!!
*Crowd pops. *
Steve Cotton: Introducing the first team, at a total combined weight of 225lbs, the team of Junko Souma & Hanako Tohei… THE FLOWERS OF CAAAAARRRRNNNAAAGGGEEEE!!!

*The crowd boos as JTW and Superunkown pose with the TPW Duos titles in the corner. The streamers are pulled from the ring, as Steve Cotton exits the ring and Rouge’s Gallery hands their championship belts to a ringside attendant. *
Markson: This is going to be an awesome match, I’ve been pumped for this since the brackets were announced.
Napier: I hope Knox gets thrown into one of those running like Amber did the first time we had one of these.
DING! DING! DING!
*As the bellsounds Lights Out jump on JTW, and begin double teaming him with shots, while FOC do the same to Superunknown, with Matt Knox at their side, going 3 on 1 on the largest man in the match. Amber on the other hand rolls out of the ring, pulls a chair out from under the ring and immediately heads for on of the industrial fans ready to destroy it before it even starts up. Head of Security, Charles O’Patrick steps up and holds his hands up, pointing out security around all the fans to not let them be destroyed early. Amber snarls and turns back to the ring.
Meanwhile in the ring, Light Out have JTW in the corner and are peppering him with rights and lefts, dropping him to the mat. FOC and Knox have Superunkown driven back into the corner as well, and he’s trying to cover up. Superunknown reaches out grabbing Tohei by the hair and shoves her backward to the mat. Superunkown then kicks Knox between the legs, dropping him.
Junko stands alone now but keeps on fighting, going for a forearm, but Superunkown blocks it and hits Junko in the jaw with a back elbow dropping her. As Junko goes down Amber comes out of nowhere and slams the chair into the head of Superunknown. Superunkown falls back into the cuirner, slumping down, and Amber slams the chair into the top of his head again dropping him to the mat.
Amber takes the chair and wedges it between the middle and bottom rope over Superunkown’s face and then steps out of the way as Tohei comes charging in with a dropkick to the chair, slamming it into the face of Superunown. *
Markson: It appears that everyone is teaming up and taking out our current duos champions.
Napier: It only makes sense, they are clearly the biggest threats in this match.
*Superunknown rolls out of the ring dazed while his partner JTW is down in the corner as Alessia and Ave bot back up in opposite corner and then charge and deliver a double face was kick to JTW. JTW rolls out of the ring as well. Lights Out then turn and stare down with Never//More and Flowers of Carnage. The Aloah Stadium crown begins to roar with excitement as all three teams face off. They all nod at each other and then charge toward the center of the ring.
Knox and Ava square off, while Tohei and Amber, and Junko and Alessia pair off in the brawl as well. Knox goes for front kick, but Ava catches his foot. Knox immediately goes for an enziguri, but Ava ducks it while keeping hold of Knox’s foot. Knox is able to land on his foot with his back to Ava, and Knox keeps moving as e preforms a reverse enzugri and nails Ava with the kick knowing her to the mat and sending her rolling out of the ring,
Amber and Tohei are brawling back and forth, trading forearms. Amber stuns Tohei with a forearm that catches her in the ear. Amber takes a step back and then goes for a Yakuza kick, but Tohei ducks. Amber spins around, but when she does she spins right arond into Idol Hands (Discus Polish Hammer) from Tohei, dropping Amber to the mat where she also rolls out of the ring. *
Napier: What a mark Tohei is.
Markson: What do you mean?
Napier: She just used Terry Marshall’s finishing move, Thunder Struck,
Markson: It is just a coincidence.
Napier: It’s just a suckup tactic.
*Junko and Alessia are blocking, dodging, and countering each others shots, when Junko blocks a hook from Alessia, spinning under, hooking the hand of Alessia, and whipping Alessia into the corner. Junko charges in looking for a running hip attack into the corner, but Alessia moves and Junko hits the turnbucklesback first and hard.Junk staggers out holding her back, when Alessia takes her down with a running STO. Junko like the other rolls to the outside.
Alessia is quick to her feet, and looks back to see Knox and Tohei circling each other. Alessia backs into a corner and watches as Knox charges at Tohei going for a jumping knee, but Tohei rolls under. Tohei comes to her feet, springing off the middle rope with a moonsault, but Alessia steps in catching Tohei and drops Tohei with a tombstone piledriver.
Alessia is still holding onto Tohei from the tombstone position when Knox grabs Alessia from behind in a waist lock. Knox deadlifts Alessia wile she is holding onto Tohei still, and Knox executes a deadlift German suplex on Alessia, releasing her. Alessia flips upside down through the air and lands with Tohei giving Alessia a tombstone piledriver. *
Markson: HOLY GUACAMOLE!!!
Napier: In all my years around this sport I have never seen anything like that.
Steve Cotton: The fans are NOW BEING POWERED ON!!! Wind speeds set to 25MPH!!!
*While all this is going on JTW and Superunkown are headed up the entrance way headed for the ladders, but as they reach them Ava, Junko, and Amber strike from behind, first all three shove Superunkown into one of the ladders, knocking the ladder and him over. JTW looks over to see his partner being attacked three on one and springs into action, spearing Amber into the security railing.
JTW stands up as Amber sinks against the railing. As JTW gets up he turns to see Ava and Junko both holding onto a single ladder and charging at him. JTW doesn’t have time to get out of the way and it nailed in the face by the ladder, knocking him to the ground, and splitting his forehead open.
Ava tries to pull the ladder away from Junko, but she holds onto it and tries to pull it away from Ava. Ava and Junko begin fighting over the ladder, engaging in a bit of a tug o’war over it. As they are busy fighting they don’t see Superunkown getting up, and grabbing a ladder. Superunkown folds the lader up, lifts it overhead, and throws it at Ava and Junko, hitting both of them in the side of the head, and knocking them down. *
Markson: Jeremy The Wicked is busted open, but I think Ava Arthur and Junko Souma may both be concussed.
Napier: They’re fine, there is nothing in their heads to damage anyway.
*Superunkown walks over them and lids the ladder, and just as he lifts it Knox comes running down the isle way, and lands a jumping pump kick to the ladder, knocking Superunkown down with the ladder on top of him. Knox turns to the security railing, spring boards onto it, and comes off with a lionsault onto the ladder on top of Superunkown. Knox rolls up holding his sternum, and as he does Amber flies in with a back senton onto the ladder, crushing Superunkown further.
Back in the ring, Ava and Tohei are both climbing to their feet and lock eyes as they both hold their necks. Ave and T ohei charge at each other, and Tohei goes high with a dropkick, but Ava baseball slides under it. Tohei is able to land on all-fours, as Ava pops up form the slide. Ava strikes quickly, going for a running knee, but Tohei cartwheels from a bear crawl, avoiding the knee.
Both women square off again on their feet and the crowd roars with cheers as they charge each other again. Tohei throws a front kick that Ava, swats away, and Tohei spins around going for a superkick, but Ava is able to dodge it and land a back leg front kick that rocks Tohei in the face. Tohei spins in 180 degrees and falls on her knee. Ava turns, hits the ropes and comes back with a Metiora to the back of Tohei. *
Markson: OH MY! Ava Arthur just drove Hanako Tohei’s head into the mat.
Napier: Forget that, we got those stupid idiots in Never//More breaking their bodies on ladders trying to keep Superunkon down.
Markson: I’ve got a feeling a lot of bodies will be hitting a lot of ladders tonight.
Steve Cotton: Wind speed increasing to… 50 MILES PER HOUR!!!
*As the windspeed picks up, the trophies begin to sway back and forth. Knox and Amber grab a ladder and begin headinr the ring as Ava stands ready to tight them both. Just as they get down t ringside, JTW charges from behind, leaving Knox with a running forearm to the back of the head. Knox goes down to all fours and JTW places a boot to his ribs. Amber grabs JTW, spins him around, and sprays mist into his face. JTW grabs his face and staggers backward, tripping over Knox’s body and falling to the ground.
Amber smirks as she wipes the mist from her chin, and then turns back to grab the ladder. As Amber turns back to the ladder, Ava baseball slide dropkicks the ladder into the face of Amber, knocking her back and to the ground. Ava quickly rolls to her feet and grabs the ladder. Ava pulls the ladder into the ring, sets it up, and begins climbing.
As Ava begins climbing the ladder, Junko makes her way down the entranceway and tries sliding in the ring, but as she does, Alessia comes behind her, grabbing her leg. Alessia yanks hard, pulling Junko out of the ring, and she lands on her face on the floor. Ava looks over to see Alessia pull Junko out and beigns to climb again, when Tohei comes up behind Ava.
Tohei grabs Ava’s leg, and Ava tries kicking Tohei off with her other leg, but Tohei dodges the first kick, and then catches the second kick. Tohei pulls Ava’s feet hard, jerking her off the ladder, and sending Ava landing on her face on the mat. *
Napier: Lights Out and Flowers Of Carnage aren’t uniting in womanhood, they want to see who the baddest b*tches in TPW are.
Makrson: Any four of those women could take you Nick.
Napier: Oh please, like I’d every be alone with anyone of those four women.
*Alessia slides into the ring as Tohei heads up the ladder. Alessia hops on the other side of the ladder and begins climbing up. Tohei gets to the top of the ladder first, reaching up for the trophies, but they are just out of reach. As Tohei goes to take another step up Alessia fires a shot into her stomach. Alessia climbs up level with Tohei , and as se gets up Tohei chops Alessia in the throat. Alessia hold on with one hand and then fires a headbutt into the face of Tohei. Tohei is blindied for a moment as Alessia takes another step up and reaches for the trophies.
Tohei recovers and throws her head forward, sinking her teet into the stomach of Alessia and bitting her. Alessa sceams and punches at Tohei’s head, when suddenly Knox slides into the ring and begins shoving the ladder over. Tohei unlatches from the stomac of Alessia, just as Knox shoves the ladder over. Alessia and Tohei try to hope off the ladder, but it already too far over and they both fall onto the top rope, landing stomach first. *
Markson: OH MY! It looks like Alessia Angelo and Hanako Tohei just got cut in half.
Napier: If those women would thicken up it wouldn’t hurt them as bad.
*Knox pulls the ladder back up, setting it up and begins to climb up it, but as soon as Knox gets on the ladder JTW slides back into the ring. JTW heads for the ladder, but as soon as he gets on the first rung of the ladder Amber slides into the ring and heads for him. JTW sees her coming and fires an elbow at her head, but Amber catches the arm and armdrags JTW off the ladder.
JTW hits the mat and rolls up, and as he gets to his feet Amber nails him with a Yakuza kick. JTW falls back into the ropes and comes back with a Rebound Clothesline, but Amber ducks it, catching JTW’s arm and spinning him around into a DDT. Amber rolls up and begins climbing the ladder with Knox.
Knox reahces down, taking Amber’s hand and helping her climb up to his level. Both Knox and Amber reach up to grab the trophies when a ladder comes flying into the scene like a javelin, nailing Knox in the side of the head, knocking Knox off the ladder with him landing onto the turnbuckles.*
Markson: Superunkown is up and he just used that ladder like a spear and knocked Matt Knox off the ladder.
Napier: Superunknown looks pissed, and a pissed off Superunkown is a very dangerous thing.
*Amber looks up at the trophies and then down at Superunkown who is stepping into the ring. Amber leaps off the top of the ladder onto Superunkown with a crossbody, but Superunknown catches her. Superunkown throws Amber up onto his shoulders and then presses her over his head. Tohei and Alessia are both starting to get up, trying to pull themselves up with the railing when Superunkown throws Amber over the top ropes onto Tohei and Alessia, dropping them all down to the ground. *
Markson: And now Superunkown stands alone.
Napier: But for how long? You can’t waste anytime in a match like this.
*Superunkown grabs the ladders and set them both up side by side, and then begins climbing up both of them at the same time, one foot on eac ladder, making sure he is extra stable. As Superunkown is close to the top Junko appears on the apron. Junko slingshots herself to the top rope and then leaps onto the opposite side of the ladder from Superunkown.
Junko quickly scales up the ladder to the top, and as she reaches for the trophies, Superunkown’s hand grabs her by the throat. Superunkown climbs up to level with her, bu as he does she grabs his fingers and begins peeling them off. As Junko is fighting off the grip of Superunkown, JTW begins to climb up the ladder beside Superunkown.
Junko gets Superunkown’s hand pried from her throat and lands a hard right to his face. Junko goes for another right when JTW slams a shot to the stomach of Junko. JTW and Superunkow both begin slamming fists to the body of Junko, and then both grab her by the throat. Rogue’s Gallery both lift Junko and deliver a double chokeslam to her from the top of the ladder, Junko lands on the mat hard and lays lifeless. *
Markson: HUGE DOUBLE CHOKESLAM!!!
Napier: Looks like Junko isn’t going to make it to her match later tonight.
Markson: And now the Duos champions are alone at the top of the ladder, ready to grab the S.E.X Cup trophies.
Steve Cotton: Wind speed increasing to… 75MPH!!!
*As the fans begin to blow harder and move the trophies around more, JTW and Superunkown step up one more rung and begin to reach for the tropies. They ty to grab the swaying trophies, but miss them, and try to grab thema gain when two figures in all black sweat suits, and black sky mask armed with chairs, jump the railing, hop onto the apron, slide into the ring and smack Rogue’s Gallery from behind with the chairs.
Rogue’s Gallery sink into he ladders as the masked figures throw th chairs down. The masked figures move to the other side of the ladders and quickly clmb them like nimble monkeys. The masked men grab the heads of Rogue’s Gallery and bang them off the top of the ladders, and then hook them. The masked figures pull Rogue’s Gallery up, and stand on the top of the ladders. The Masked Figures ten deliver stereo Spanish Flies from the top of the ladder. The land with a huge impact, even the masked figures are dazed. *
Markson: Who the heck is that? Those people just cost Rogue’s Gallery the S.E.X Cup.
Napier: They are up, and pulling the ski masks off.
Markson IT’S, IT’S… ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!
*The masked figures stand up and pull their ski masks off reavling the Malvado’s. The Malvados throw the ski masks down, then roll out of the ring, and reach under the ring. The Malvados pull out two table and unfold them side by side. They then reach under the ring and pull out two more tables and stack them up ontop of the tables they already have set up. The Malvados roll back into the ring, grab Rogue’s Gallery, and put them on top of the tables.
The Malvados turn back to the ladders, really to climb, but they see Lights Out, Never/More, and Tohei all sliding into the ring and glarring at them. The Malvados look at each other, then at Rogue’s Gallery, and slide out of the ring. The Malvado’s head up the security railing as everyone in the ring watches them. *
Markson: Looks like The Malvados weren’t finished with Rogue’s Gallery, but thought better of fighting five on two.
Napier: Discretion is the better part of valor. The Malvados haven’t gotten a Duos championship match since defeating Rogue’s Gallery at Night of the Living Dead, and just made their mark on Rogue’s Gallery, letting them know they want a title match.
Markson: Well maybe they should have just won the S.E.X Cup then.
Napier: Pssh, just attacking the champs is way easier.
*The five members all turn back and look at each other. Tohei is moving arond the ladders and checking on Junko, helping her to her feet. As soon as Junko stands everyone breaks into action. Lights Out and Amber run to one side of the ladder, while Junko and Tohei move to the other side. Alessia shoves Amber off the ladder, but Knox grabs Alessia by the head and throws her over the top rope, but Alessia grabs the top rope as she goes over. Alessia skins the cat, throwing her legs back over, and wraps them around Knox’s head. Alessa pulls her body back down, and takes Matt Knox over the top rope to the outside with a head scissors.
Ava and Amber are climbing up the ladder while Tohei and Junko climb up the other side. The four women have a precarious climb to the top as the ladders shake from the winds from the fans. They finally reach the top, all four at the same time, and immediately being trading shots. Ava and Junko are trading forearms while Tohei and Amber are slugging in it. Amber rocks Tohei with a hard right to the ear, and then grabs Tohei’s head and slams it into the ladder, sending Tohei sliding down the ladder a bit.
Meanwhile, Junko blocks a forearm from Ava, and throws a headbut into the face of Ava. Ava is rocked backward, and Junko throws a round house kick from the ladder catching Ava in the head, and knocking her off the ladder. Junko takes a step higher, as we seee Amber digging in her pocket. Amber shoves something into her mouth and takes a step up and spits a mouth full of thumbtacks into the face of Junko. Junko clutches her face and falls off the ladder to the mat below.
Amber steps up to try and grab the trophies, but as she does Tohei throws a headbutt into the stomach of Amber, doubling her over. Tohei steps up to the level of Amber, and hooks Amber for a suplex. Tohei lifts Amber up and delivers a superplex from the top of the ladder, but Tohei kicks off of the ladder hard, sending them both falling over the top rope and crashing down onto the members of Rogue’s Gallery and all four crashing through the tower of tables. *
Crowd: HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!
Markson: HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!
Napier: LANGUAGE MARK! You and these Thunderamorons are such potty mouths.
*On the outside Alessia has grabbed a table of her own and set it up so that one end is on the railing, and the other is on the ring apron. As Alessia sets the table up, Knox has gotten to his feet. Alessia turns from setting the table up, into a pump kick from Knox that sneds Alessia toppling over the table to the other side. Knox takes a moment to shake the cobwebs free, and as Alessia stands up, Knox thrust kicks the side of the table, sending it flying with speed and force into the chest of the rising Alessia. The force knocks Alessia backward to the ground.
Knox begins to move toward Alessia but hears the sound of footsteps. Knox turns his head to see Ava flying through the ropes with a suicide dive. Knox sidesteps and catches Ava under the arms, spinning her around and slamming her onto the table with a blackhole slam, but the table doesn’t break.
Knox hops onto the apron, and grabs Ava by the head and begins to lift her up when Alessia hops onto the apron and slams a forearm into the side of Knox’s head. Knox drops Ava and staggers backward on the apron, holding himself up with the top rope. Alessia charges down the apron at him, but Knox catchs her, scooping her up onto his shoulders and deliver Into The Void (GTS). Alessia falls off the apron and to the floor. *
Steve Cotton: Wind speed increasing to… 100MPH!!!
Markson: Matt Knox just took Alessia Angelo out.
Napier: If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, Alessia Angel is the weak link of that team.
Markson: STOP IT! No she is not.
*Knox goes to step into the ring when Ava charges down the apron and nails him with an Irish drop kick. Knox flies into the turnbuckles, still on the apron. Ava rolls to her feet and charges again, but Knox spins arond and catches her with a crescent kick. Ava is rocked on the apron and Knox grabs her, and delivers an exploder suplex, throwing Ava off the apron and into on of the large industrial fans. The fan explodes with sparks and immediately stops working. *
Napier: HOLY SH*T!
Crowd: HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!
Markson: LANGUAGE NICK!
Napier: Oops, sorry.
*Knox pulls himself back up using the ropes, but as soon as Knox gets to his feet, Junko comes out of nowhere with a Shotgun Dropkick, sending Knox flying of the apron and into the security railing. The crowd is roaring as Junko rolls up to her feet, seeing everyone else down, and then looks up at the S.E.X Cups hanging above the ring. Junko moves to the ladder and begins climbing the ladder.
The closer to the top Junko gets te more the louder the crowd cheers. Junko begins reaching for the trophies which are still swaying around, even with just three fans. Junko keeps reaching for the titles, when another figure in all black and a Malvado mask jumps the security railing and slides into the ring. *
Markson: Are these dag on Malvados back out here again? They need to be thrown out of the building.
Napier: That is no way to talk about the former S.E.X Cup and Hurricane Hustle winners.
*Junko looks down to see the much larger than normal Malvado, ad she throws a kick at them, but it is swated away as theMalvado continues to climb. Junko throws a punch to the head of the Malvado, but the fresh Malvado throws a hard punch of his own rocking Junko. The Malvado climbs up higher, grabbing Junko by the head. The Malvad leaps off the top of the ladder, taking Junko with him and delivering a JKO (RKO).
Junko lands chest first on the mat, but also on a steel chair that was laying in the ring. Junko rolls over clutching her chest, weezing as if she is having trouble breathing. The Malvado rolls up to his knees and pulls his mask off revealing it to be JMont. *
Markson: JMONT… YOU NO GOOD SON OF A…
Napier: Language Mark, come on, you are being very unclassy tonight.
Markson: SHUT NICK! The Cabal isn’t in power anymore, stop sucking up to Alexander’s chosen guys.
*JMont begins laughing as he rolls out of the ring. Security rush to JMont and begin pushing him up the entrance way. Meanwhile, Alessia rolls back into the ring, and looks over to see Knox pulling himself into the ring as well. Alessia looks over to see both members of Rogue’s Galery, as well as Tohei and Amber stirring as well. Alessia charges at Knox as Knox gets onto the apron, but he sees her coming and springs to the top rope and leaps over her, landing on is feet. Alessia spins around but spins right into the Dead and Lovely (Leaping inside crescent kick) from Knox. The kick sends her falling between the top and middle rope to the apon.
Knox sees JTW grabbing another ladder as Superunkown rolls into the ring. Knox charges at Supernkown as he gets into the ring, but Superunkown throws his hand up from his knees catching Knox around the throat. Superunkown comes up to his knees holding Knox by the throat and lifts him for a chokeslam, but as he does Amber jumps into the ring holding a thick canvas bag and slams it into the back of Superunkown’s head.
Superunknown falls to his knees, as Knox looks at Amber. Amber smiles and then dumps the bag out spilling thousands of thumbtacks onto the mat. Knox smirks and nods his head as the grabs Superunkown. Amber hops to the turnbuckle, but as she does JTW slides the third ladder intot he ring and hops on the apron. JTW charges toward Amber, but Tohei comes from the floor, grabbing JTW’s foot, and tripping him onto his face.
Knox lifts Superunkown up into a vertabreaker and Amber leaps off the second rope, as Never//More delivers the E2L (Spike Vertebreaker) on Superunkow into the tacks. *
Napier: Never//More just killed one half of our Duos champions.
Markson: Superunkown is one of the most reselient people I’ve ever seen, but I don’t think anyone can recover from that.
*Tohei pulls JTW off the apron and throws him into the security railing, and then slides into the ring. Ambr and Knox have begun climbing. Tohei grabs third ladder, lifts it and throws it into the side of Knox. Knox falls of the ladder, falling onto the ropes stomach first, this sling shots him backward into the ring, where he collides with the ladders, knocking them back over the other way, sending Amber falling off the ladder as well.
Tohei looks at everyone else being down and grabs the ladder and pulls it up. Tohei begins climging, but as she gets to the third rung, the leg on the ladder buckles and collapses. The crowd begins booing widely, as Tohei in anger throws the broken ladder out of the ring onto the downed Superunkown. *
Napier: That is what TPW gets for using Harbor Freight ladders.
Markson: Those aren’t Harber Freight ladders, those ladders have just been through a lot in this match.
Steve Cotton: Wind speeds increasing to.. 125MPH, NOW AT CATAGORY FIVE WIND SPEEDS!!!
Markson: We are at max air speed now, as if it wasn’t already going to be hard enough for someone to retrieve the cup trophies.
*Tohei grabs the ladder JTW had slid into the ring and sets it up. Tohei begins climbing, but as she does JTW rolls into the ring, grabs the other ladder, and begins climbing up opposite of Tohei. As they climb and reach for the belts, Amber and Knox crawl to the ladders, and are at the bottom of them as Tohei and JTW reach the top. Tohei sees JTW getting to the top of his ladder and the throws an elbow into the side of his head. JTW is shaken, but throws a chop into the side of Tohei.
As they fight at the top, Amber begins climbing up the opposite side of JTW, while Knox climbs opposite Tohei. Amber gets to the top first and join in with Tohei on fighting JTW. JTW is getting double teamed and respnds by throwing a thumb into the eye of Amber. Tohei goes to hit him again, but is cut off by Knox. JTW then stuns Knox with a back hand.
JTW grabs Knox to throw him off when Amber blasts JTW with a right ahnd. JTW responds wit a punch of his own. Amber goes for another but JTW catches her wirth an eye rake. JTW grabs Amber, pulling her over his shoulder, hooking her head with one arm, and her leg with the other. JTW look down, and then leaps off the ladder delivering an Air Raid Crash to Amber through the table that was set up between the ring and securtiy railing. *
Napier: GOOD LORD, THEIR DEAD!!!
Markson: JTW just took Amber Bane-Ryan out of this match, and maybe out of the sport entirely.
*Medical officials rush to ringside to check on JTW and Amber. While Knox and Tohei look on stunned. Suddenly Tohei snaps back to reality and nails Knox with a forearm. Tohei then reaches up trying to grab the cup but it sways from her hand. Knox reaches up, barley getting his hand on the cup, and slams the cup into the forehead of Tohei. Knox delivers a second shot with the cup and Tohei falls from the ladder, and lands hard on the mat.
Knox takes one more step up to get a better hand on the swaying cups. Knox reaches up and grabs the cups, when Alessia spring to the top rope and leaps off of them landing on Knox’s back. Alessia wraps her legs around Knox’s waist and her arms arond his neck in a rear naked choke. *
Markson: OH MY! Alessia Angelo is choking Matt Knox out sixteen feet above the ring.
Napier: You had me at Matt Knox getting choked out.
*Knox tries pulling the cups down, but then turns his attention to his neck as he tries to fight Alessia off. Knox begins to fade as Alessia sinks the choke in deeper. In a last effort Knox takes a step up to the very last rung, and with the cups blowing around widely in the wind one of them smacks into the head of Alessia, knocking her off Knox’s back.
Both Alessia and Knox fall sideways off the ladder, but Knox catches himself on the other ladder as Alessia falls to the mat below. Knox pulls himself up and as the cups sway around Knox grabs one and yanks it down for the victory. *
Steve Cotton: Here are your winners, and NEW S.E.X CUP CHAMPIONS.... NEVEEERRRRR MOOORRRREEEE!!!
Napier: I hate Matt Knox.
Markson: Well listen to this crowd, THEY LOVE HIM!!!
*As the giant fans stop blowing Knox holds he trophies over is head, but then immediatley hops off the ladders, and goes to check on Amber. The crowd around the Aloha Stadium are all standing and applauding the efforts of everyone in the match.
Medical officials rush to the ringside area as the scene fades to the backstage area. *
*We cut to the backstage area where Xavier Lux is seen exiting the lockeroom area, looking very dapper in a 3-piece custom made Italian suit. He wears a black collar shirt, unbuttoned, black pocket handkerchief and black loafers with no socks. As he walks in, he takes off his trademark Ray Bay Aviator sunglasses and acknowledges a few fellow wrestlers here and there he recognizes. Just then he is rushed in by “All Business” Bobby Bones, and nearly runs into him. *
XL: Watch it you little Poop!
Bones: Sorry Lux, err, Xavier… Mr. Lux, what can I call you?
XL: Mr. Venom.
Bones: Really?
XL: No, not really you idiot… Get out of my way!
*Xavier tries to keep going but Bobby gets in front of him and Xavier looks at him with a ‘how f’n dare you’ look. *
Bones: No, wait, I was wondering if I could I get an interview with you?
XL: No, I don’t have time for an interview right now… I just won that Sunshine Shootout, and I'm headed to my skybox to watch the rest of this event, and then hitting the town to celebrate. So if you want to talk about all the ass I whipped, like Diablo Blanco’s. Sure, but also that disturbing perv named Jack… He had a lot of things to say about me while I barely gave him the time of day… and that’s fine, why should I? Why should anyone? He’s a joke wrestler with a name that a 10-year-old could have come up with while discovering himself in the bathroom.
XL: Watch it you little Poop!
Bones: Sorry Lux, err, Xavier… Mr. Lux, what can I call you?

*The crowd inside the arena reacts loudly. *
XL: The point is Larry.
Bones: Bobby.
XL: Whatever goofy, the point is, I did my talking in the ring. Now, I'm going to revel in my victory and party until the sun shines again.
*Xavier again tries to keep going but Bobby cuts him off a second time. *
XL: Boy I swear if you don’t get out of my way I’m going to shove that mic so far up your ass, you are going to need one of Peter Vaughn’s special magnum plungers to get it out.
Bones: It’s just that I’ve realized you have never done an exclusive, and the fans are just dying to know about “The Man with Venom in his Veins”.
*Xavier looks at him funny. *
XL: Watch the World Series of Wrestling, that is as exclusive as it can get about my life. You’ll find out everything you want to know about me. Why you pushing so hard for this anyway? You act like your life depended on it.
*Bones looks away nervously, thinking how else he can go about this without really revealing the reason for the interview request. When he turns to face Xavier again, he has already walked away. *
Bones: No wait!
*Xavier gives him the middle finger without looking back. *
Bones: Okay, next time then… perhaps after your match?!
*Xavier turns right into another hallway without saying another word as the scene fades to another pre-recorded segment.*
*As “Pretender” by Foo Fighters begins to play, the arena lights dim, and a single spotlight shines on the entrance ramp. The stage is adorned with large, ornate mirrors, reflecting the audience’s anticipation and excitement.
Emerging from the darkness, Khloe steps onto the stage, surrounded by a maze of mirrors that stretch out in all directions. Each mirror reflects a different facet of Khloe’s persona, creating a kaleidoscope of images that dance and shimmer with the rhythm of the music.
As Khloe begins to walk down the ramp, the mirrors come alive with dynamic visuals, projecting images of her past matches, victories, and struggles. The reflections morph and twist, capturing the essence of Khloe’s journey as a wrestler and highlighting the challenges she has overcome along the way.
With each step, Khloe’s reflection grows stronger, more resolute, until she reaches the ring, where a giant mirror stands at the center. Khloe stares into the mirror, her eyes ablaze with determination, as her reflection gazes back at her with unwavering confidence.
With a sudden burst of energy, Khloe shatters the mirror with a powerful strike, sending shards of glass flying in all directions. The crowd erupts into cheers as Khloe steps through the broken mirror, emerging on the other side with a triumphant smile.
As she enters the ring, Khloe’s entrance reaches its climax, with the music reaching a crescendo and the arena erupting into a deafening roar. Khloe stands tall in the center of the ring, surrounded by the shattered remnants of the mirror, ready to face her opponent and conquer whatever challenges lie ahead. *
Markson: Khloe Cox is pulling out all the stops for Thunder In Paradise.
Napier: Normally I'd make a skitzo joke but that mirror bit was pretty epic!
*As "Ultranumb" by Blue Stahli begins to pulse through the arena, the crowd erupts into a frenzy of anticipation. The stadium lights dim, leaving only the spotlight fixed on the entrance ramp. Fog begins to billow out from the sides, creeping across the floor and adding an eerie atmosphere to the already electric air.
Suddenly, amidst the haze, Andrea emerges, her silhouette cutting through the mist with an aura of undeniable presence. Dressed in her championship attire, she strides purposefully towards the ring, each step echoing with determination. The crowd's cheers intensify, a cacophony of support reverberating off the walls of the arena.
As she reaches the ring apron, Andrea pauses, her gaze sweeping over the sea of faces before her.

With a fluid motion, she grasps the top rope, using it as leverage to propel herself effortlessly into the ring, a display of athleticism and confidence.

Markson: Nick, your unprofessionalism and chauvinism never cease to amaze me.
DING! DING! DING!
*As the bell rings, signaling the start of the match, Khloe Cox takes a step forward, extending her hand towards Andrea Hernandez in a gesture of sportsmanship. Andrea, ever the consummate professional, accepts the offer, clasping Khloe's hand firmly in a handshake.
The crowd murmurs appreciatively at this display of respect between the competitors, sensing the mutual admiration and understanding that precedes what promises to be an intense battle.

It's Khloe rushing forwards going for a quick and easy school-girl pin on Andrea but she is easily countered and sent into the corner while Andrea just shakes her head.*
Napier: There is no way she just tried that…..
*Back in the ring Andrea has Khloe firmly in the corner giving her some brutal strikes wearing down her body with blow after blow. With each punch or kick the crowd roars with excitement. *

Napier: Or kicks! Can’t forget about those!
*Despite the barrage of attacks, Khloe refuses to stay down. With gritted teeth and determination blazing in her eyes, she summons her reserves of strength and resilience. As Andrea winds up for another strike, Khloe suddenly ducks under her arm, narrowly avoiding the blow. *
