CUT TO:
INT. THE SILVER STATE BALLROOM -- THE RING
LETHAL LOTTERY BATTLE ROYAL
GORGO vs SUMMER PAGE vs AZURINE VEBBINS vs KALINDA KRIEGSDOTTIR vs ARIA vs SAMANTHA TOLSON
The stage is set. In the ring are: Sam Tolson, Kalinda Kriegsdottir, Summer Page, Azurine Vebbins, Aria, and Gorgo. One by one, each competitor will be eliminated by being thrown over the top rope and landing on the floor below. Outside, Kalinda’s minions, the Black Crusade Worldwide are fanned out down one side of the ring, and Enigma is also present for Summer, keeping an eye on the BCW goons.
Of course, we can’t forget our illustrious World Champion, Chris Mosh, who is seen sitting up in the private VIP box above the stage. He has a champagne flute in one hand and a bag of popcorn in his lap. A personal butler waits in the background next to a cart. The champagne is on ice and various Vilaro-branded snacks are laid out for his consumption.
The bell rings. Eyes dart back and forth as the wrestlers feel each other out. After several tense seconds, five of them all turn and look at the sixth—Gorgo. They rush after her, in a momentary act of solidarity to remove her from the match, likely fueled by the way she “earned” her way into the match, or simply because they hate her that much.
But Gorgo drops down to the canvas and rolls out before anyone can touch her. She walks down the length of the ring while tapping her temple.
Without her to focus on, the rest quickly turn on one another. Kalinda and Aria, who are working together to no one’s surprise, double team Azurine Vebbins, backing her into a corner where they begin to alternate punches and kicks. Meanwhile, Summer and Sam exchange forearms before locking up.
Samantha moves around Summer and with a waist lock, yanks her up into the air and tosses her overhead with a German suplex. Summer smacks the mat and flips over onto her stomach while holding her neck.
Vebbins blocks a shot and then fires back, cracking Aria across the jaw and sending her reeling backwards. Kalinda is momentarily taken by surprise. Aria tees up another haymaker. She winds up her fist and fires it right at the Dragon Empress’s face. Unfortunately for her, Kalinda opens her mouth and sinks her teeth around her hand. Aria screams from the pain as those sharp teeth go OM NOM NOM.
Sam grabs Summer by the hair to pick her up, but the Spoiled Princess grabs one of her legs and drives her backward with a takedown. Summer is now on top and throwing windmill knuckles on the other woman.
Outside the ring, Gorgo feigns checking an invisible watch while leaning against the barricade. Unfortunately, the Black Crusade Worldwide are not willing to allow her to continue to sit out. They flank her sides and move in after her. She tries to get away, but four sets of hands seize her and throw her back into the ring.
Gorgo stands up. Aria sees an opportunity! She charges after the Red Queen with a loaded clothesline, hoping to send the big woman over the top rope. Gorgo, however, ducks before flipping her backward. Aria nearly falls to the floor, but at the last second she adjusts and lands on the apron. She then uses the ropes to slingshot over Gorgo’s head. On the way down, she locks the woman in a 3⁄4 face lock and then drives to the mat, delivering a nasty ZIRCON CUTTER (Cutter)!
Azurine tries to free her hand from those gnashing teeth but Kalinda refuses to let go, so Da Adorkable Angel balls up her other fist and slams it into one of Kalinda’s breasts as hard as she can. A combination of pain and absolute shock cause the Dragon Empress to yell, releasing the bloody fist in the process. She grabs her chest and looks at the other woman slyly.
KALINDA KRIEGSDOTTIR
Nice move… My turn!
Nice move… My turn!
Kalinda tries to grapple, but Azurine ducks through and moves behind her. From there, she locks in a full nelson before throwing the dragon lady overhead with a dragon suplex. Kalinda hits the mat hard but quickly pushes to her feet. Here’s Azurine to follow it up with a double-handed jawbreaker to complete the PEARLY GATEKEEPER! Kalinda goes stiff as a board before falling backward.
Meanwhile, Samantha fights through Summer’s offense to pop her hips and reverse positions. Now on top of Summer, she works to single out one of her arms, possibly looking for an armbar. The Spoiled Princess tries to free herself, but in a hurry she accidently twists until Tolson has her back. The Missouri River Amazon immediately seizes the opportunity to lock in the NIGHTFALL (Kata Hajime)!
Aria has Gorgo on her feet and pressed back into the ropes, trying to dump her over the top. Azurine shakes her hand out before attacking Aria from behind. The two women brawl briefly while Gorgo recovers. The Red Queen adjusts her stance before throwing her right leg like a log through the air. Aria sees it coming and drops down at the last moment. Her foot cracks Azurine in the back of the head with the NAME-KERI (Roundhouse Kick)! The kick sends the woman over the top rope and to the floor, where one of the referees rules her out.
AZURINE VEBBINS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED
In the box, Mosh gives a Brett-Favre-esque lazy clap. Back in the ring Summer fights off Samantha’s submission attempt, slowly pushing herself up to her feet. With a handful of her hair, the Spoiled Princess throws her weight forward, flipping the other woman over her shoulder to the mat before. She then puts the toe of her boot on Samantha’s forehead before scraping it to the mat. The Missouri River Amazon rolls away while holding her face.
Kalinda DEAD WALKS to her feet, rising off the canvas with a snake-like slither. Out of the corner of her eye she sees Aria and Gorgo engaged but her attention is pulled away when she and Summer back into one another. They spin around and throw forearms into one another’s faces, causing both to stumble backward.
Aria tries to run to help her mistress but Gorgo grabs her by the hair. She then yanks the other woman backwards into an inverted face lock before flipping her up onto her shoulder. She then walks her two steps away from the ropes before dropping her head first into the mat with the not often used AS ABOVE, SO BELOW (Emerald Flowsion)!!!
Samantha is on her feet and running behind Summer. Kalinda, seeing what’s coming, darts forward. Both women leap forward and deliver a missile dropkick oreo with Summer being the cream in the middle. The Spoiled Princess falls to the side in pain.
Samantha and Kalinda lock up. They push back and forth until Tolson briefly gets the upper hand with a knee strike to the midsection. Kalinda doubles over, giving up access to her neck. Sam goes for a face lock followed by a DDT, but Kalinda doesn’t get driven into the canvas. Instead she throws the other woman into the air with a flapjack, but on the way down she delivers THE PUNT (Groin Kick)! Samantha grabs herself in the pain.
Gorgo walks away from Aria to attack Kalinda from behind. Only a few weeks removed from their own match, the Red Queen might be looking to get a little payback here after the Dragon Empress spent the entirety of their bout trying to braid her hair with gummy worms and action figures. She kicks the dragon in the kidney, dropping her to the ground. Kalinda uses her tail to snake around Gorgo’s ankle and yanks, pulling her leg out from under her.
In the chaos, no one saw Samantha get to her feet or run to the opposite ropes. She’s speeding back to the middle of the ring where she nails Kalinda in the face with MIND YOUR HEAD (V-Trigger)!!! The Dragon Empress falls to the side. Samantha and Gorgo both climb to their feet, only a few inches from one another.
They go chest to chest as words are traded back and forth. The Missouri River Amazon puts two hands in the other woman’s chest and shoves her hard backward. Gorgo gets forced a step back, but quickly fires forward with an oblique kick that buckles Sam’s leg. She throws another one. Sam grimices from the pain. She throws a third, but goes to the well one time too many. Samantha grabs the leg before throwing a kick of her own into the inside of the other knee. Gorgo falls back holding her leg. Tolson snakes around that locked up tree trunk, going for a figure four!
BUT NO! Here comes Summer Page with a TOTAL KNOCKOUT (Superkick)!!! Samantha eats the boot and falls by the wayside. The Spoiled Princess now sees her moment of revenge. She grabs the same leg as Gorgo and quickly works around it with a figure four before dropping backward. The Red Queen immediately shouts from the pain but Summer isn’t done. She arches her back off the mat, turning it into the Perfect 10 (Figure 8 Leg lock)!!!
Aria is finally recovered and quickly moves to aid her Empress. Kalinda has retreated to a corner where the effects of that Mind Your Head are still evident. She points a claw at Samantha and orders her minion to sic her. Aria gets to her feet and hurries to do as ordered.
In the private box, Mosh cheers on his sister as she continues to apply the Perfect 10 with #PurePerfection. Gorgo stretches out one of her long arms and finds a nearby rope. There are no breaks but she manages to pull the two of them closer to the apron. Summer is forced to abandon the bridge, turning it into a standard figure four as she gets dragged across the mat.
Aria picks Sam up by the hair before turning to whip her into an empty corner. She then follows it up with a splash…no! Sam darts to the side. Aria twists around and plants her back into the turnbuckles. Sam instantly engages the NIHON E NO ŌDO (Ode to Japan)! Systematically she breaks down the other woman with rapid, alternating hard kicks! Once Aria is sufficiently softened up, she grabs her by the neck, yanks her from the corner, then reverses, tossing her over the top! After Aria crashes to the floor, BCW quickly converges to help her to her feet.
ARIA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED
Gorgo pulls herself completely under the bottom rope to the apron. Her inexperience as a professional wrestler backfires, as she never attempts to reverse the figure four. Instead she slithers out of the ring completely, dragging both her and Summer to the hard floor. Gorgo rolls all the way to the barricade while holding her leg. Summer gets to her feet. Enigma is nearby, offering words of encouragement. The Spoiled Princess kicks Gorgo in the leg before hurrying back into the ring.
Samantha, Kalinda and Summer now stand in a triangle across from one another. They look back and forth at one another before moving in. Each throws a thrust kick through the air. Kalinda’s cracks Sam in the face, Samantha’s heel crushes Summer’s jaw, and Summer’s boot smashes into the Dragon Empress’s grill. All three women collapse to the mat! The crowd roars as they all stare up at the ceiling, unmoving! Time ticks by to the half minute mark and neither has yet to so much as twitch!
At one point the feed cuts to Mosh, who has left his seat and placed himself on a table, where a large woman with big hands is giving him a Swedish massage.
The view cuts to the front row to show JPD cheering on Samantha. The moment he's revealed, he clambers over the barrier and heads towards the nearest corner while Enigma stands not too far away shouting words of encouragement in Russian at Summer. Cut to a shot across the ring, Gorgo’s face over the apron like a scene from Apocalypse Now. Members of Black Crusade are split to her left and right, but neither half have moved in to put hands on her for some reason. That reason soon becomes apparent when Gorgo places a folded up steel chair on the apron that she apparently stole from a ringside fan, having ended up too far away from the time keeper’s table where her barbed wire bat lays.
One rope at a time, she pulls herself up before slowly climbing through them into the ring. Then, from her hands and knees, her body rises from the floor and uncoils like a snake until she stands with chair in hand. She holds it over her head while moving around the ring, clearly favoring her left knee.
GORGO
IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?!
The fans cheer wildly.
She stands in the middle of the three women, all of whom have returned to consciousness and gathered the strength to pull themselves to the ropes. Gorgo slowly turns, doing her best to keep her eyes on all three while holding that chair ready to swing. Samantha, Kalinda and Summer get to their feet as one. The Spoiled Princess acts first, moving in to feint a grapple attempt but jumping backward as that chair swings in her direction.
Kalinda leaps on Gorgo’s back and bites her hard on the trapezius! The chair drops from the Red Queen’s hand as she tries to fight off the dragon lady. Summer goes for the chair, but is too late, as Tolson gets there first and throws it out. It slides across the mat before landing on the floor at the feet of Black Crusade Worldwide.
Summer, now behind Samantha, leaps into the air while putting her knees into the other woman’s spine and then yanks back on her hair. SPOILED ROTTEN (Backstabber)!!! Summer cracks her back on those knees before flipping off to the side.
Gorgo flips Kalinda over her shoulder. The dragon lands perfectly on her feet and pops up to yell out:
KALINDA KRIEGSDOTTIR
SURPRISE, MOTHER FUCKER!
SURPRISE, MOTHER FUCKER!
Black mist spews from her mouth, covering Gorgo’s face with the terrible ichor. The Moldovan stumbles backward, all the way into a corner and falls down while trying to wipe away the blinding spray.
Summer grabs Kalinda, spins her around, and then turns to whip her into the ropes. The Spoiled Princess runs to steps before throwing a flying knee. Kalinda does a move out of the matrix, bending backward and sliding underneath. Summer spins around but gets yanked by Kalinda’s tail around her waist, sending her now into the ropes. When they meet back in the middle, The Dragon Empress throws the Spoiled Princess into the air before nailing her with the GUIDING HAND (Pop Up European Uppercut with Gauntlet)!!!
The force throws Summer backward into the ropes and over! She starts to fall! NO! Somehow she manages to hang on to the top rope while fighting off a wave of unconsciousness trying to swallow her into blackness!
Outside the ring a brawl strangely erupts between most of the members of Black Crusade Worldwide and Enigma! A battle breaks out, drawing all of the ringside officials. In the chaos, CLIMAX runs behind Summer and CRACKS her across the back with that steel chair! Summer then eats a Mephisto Waltz (Superkick) from Kalinda that sends her to the floor!
SUMMER PAGE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED
Enigma becomes enraged when he sees what happened to Summer. He tosses aside the members of BCW and runs over to scoop her off the floor. He carries her quickly around the ring and up the ramp. Back at ringside, referee Stef Delano ejects Black Crusade Worldwide and Aria under threat of DQing Kalinda. They reluctantly obey her orders. Now only JPD remains on the floor.
A conflicted Chris Mosh is standing from his chair and yelling at the improper elimination of Summer, but the look on his face betrays what perhaps is a slight amount of relief that he won’t have to face her at Equinox II.
On her feet, Samantha rushes up behind Kalinda, spins her around and throws a hard kick to the liver. The Dragon Empress doubles over into a standing headscissors. Tolson reaches down behind her legs and lifts her up before driving straight down! VICTORY DROP ALPHA (Trapper Keeper Bomb)!!! Kalinda’s head bounces off the ring floor before she drops to the side!
Samantha leaps to her feet! Cheers and screams of encouragement reverberate throughout the ballroom as the Missouri River Amazon holds her arms out. After taking a beat to soak it in, she picks Kalinda’s dead weight off the mat by the waist, carries her over to the ropes, and dumps her to the outside!
KALINDA KRIEGSDOTTIR HAS BEEN ELIMINATED
Back on Mosh, the VIP is pacing back and forth in the box. Not over the elimination of Kalinda or anything else going on in the match. There’s a woman there with a microphone. He appears to be dictating his thoughts on this moment as part of an upcoming tell-all book that will document the greatness of his title reign, entitled MOSH ON MOSH: El Campeón!
Sam walks around the ring soaking up the adulation of the thousands in attendance, she turns her attention to Yelena Gorgo, who is half hanging over the middle rope yelling at the referee who quickly brings her a bottle of water to rinse out her eyes. Unfortunately, Jace Parker Davidson intervenes. He takes the bottle and right in front of her eyes, assuming she can see, he pours it all over the floor. She apparently can see at least a little, because she spits in his face.
Sam grabs the other woman by the leg and drags her into the middle of the ring. Gorgo rolls over and upkicks her in the face before scrambling to her feet. Sam moves her jaw around to check it’s not dislocated before moving in. Gorgo swings a poorly aimed punch that sails past the other woman’s head, clearly showing her vision isn’t 100%. Sam capitalizes by grabbing her by the waist and then flipping backwards with a northern lights suplex!
The Missouri River Amazon is on her feet and starts dropping stomps, but Gorgo rolls away quickly, giving her enough space to pop to her feet. From there she wraps her around around Sam’s midsection, turns Sam’s back to the corner, and then flips them backwards! TREI MORȚI (Rolling Northern Lights Suplexes)!!! Sam crashes into the mat. Gorgo kicks over, bending till her feet touch the floor and she picks the other woman back up. She completes two more suplexes before releasing!
Sam slams her fist angrily into the canvas as the pain eats away at her back. However, Gorgo isn’t in much better shape. Performing the move clearly added to the ache from Sam’s suplex on her. Both women drag themselves to opposite sides of the ring. Jace moves around to Sam and the two talk back and forth, too low for the microphones to pick up.
This gives Gorgo time to slip out of the ring and stumble to the time keeper’s table to grab another bottle of water. She pours it directly into her eyes and then wipes as much of that black ink out as she can. Returning back to the ring, the pitch is smeared all over, but her eyes are clear, through obviously red.
As Gorgo climbs into the ring, Sam gets to hers. Both women raise their fists and walk to the middle of the ring. Both women are known for their strength and grappling abilities, but Sam is just a little leaner and faster. Her punch lands fist, crushing into the side of Gorgo’s face, sending her back a step. The Missouri River Amazon follows it up with a side kick that buckles the other woman’s ribs.
Sam then hits the ropes behind her. On the rebound, she chop blocks Gorgo to her knees. The crowd breaks out in an alternating chant!
LET’S GO TOLSON!
FUCK YOU, GORGO!
LET’S GO TOLSON!
FUCK YOU, GORGO!
Sam runs past Gorgo and hits the ropes ahead. Sprinting back at a ferocious speed, she leaps into the air and delivers another MIND YOUR HEAD (V-Trigger)!!!
NO! Gorgo gets to her feet before it lands and straight kicks her in the chest! Sam lands hard on her back and briefly struggles to breath as the air gets knocked out of her. The crowd boos as the Red Queen shakes the cobwebs out of her head.
Her hand finds a fistful of Sam’s hair and pulls her to her feet. She then delivers three hard headbutts, driving her backward into the ropes, then follows them up with two hard knees to the abdomen. Gorgo then turns and delivers a snapping Kata Guruma hip toss, sending Sam to the mat again. She then bends down at yells:
GORGO
HEAR THOSE CHEERS, MS. TOLSON? THAT IS WHY I WILL WIN. THEY DON’T GET TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING, AND NEITHER DO YOU.
Sam tends a kick arching over her head that cracks Gorgo in the forehead, sending her stumbling back into the ropes. The Missouri River Amazon then defiantly pushes herself up to her feet. The thumbs her nose and then moves in for a lock up.
They get in the clinch and shove one another back and forth, as Samantha’s strength and conditioning allows her to keep up with Gorgo’s superior mass. After a few more seconds of struggling against one another, Tolson tries sending a hard punch over top. Gorgo however capitalizes by countering it into an OSOTO GARI trip! Samantha tries to get back to her feet, which Gorgo allows, only to get her in a waist lock from behind. GERMAN SUPLEX! Tolson sails over the top rope, flying to the floor below!!! The crowd GASPS!
NO! JACE PARKER DAVIDSON CATCHES HER!
Gorgo walks to the middle of the ring and extends her arms outward and tilts her head back, soaking up what she believes to be victory! Outside, Samantha seems torn as Jace delivers her back to the apron, both irritation and joy battling on her face. JPD steps back, holding up his hands in surrender to diffuse the moment and Tolson climbs through the ropes. She readies herself to attack, waiting for the right moment!
Gorgo lowers her arms and, while looking around, realizes that something’s not right. She turns around, as if suddenly aware of the danger she’s in, but by then it’s too late. A running MIND YOUR HEAD (V-Trigger) SMASHES Gorgo in the face! She gets sent into the ropes! Samantha rushes in and clotheslines the Red Queen, sending her flipping over to the floor! Gorgo crashes hard and the match is over!
GORGO HAS BEEN ELIMINATED
WINNER (VIA ELIMINATION): SAMANTHA TOLSON
The building comes apart as she secures victory! Her body buckles as she falls to her knees in the middle of the ring. Jace rushes in to be at her side, wrapping his big arms around her in congratulations! 'The God That Failed' blasts over the sound system as she looks around the Silver State Ballroom with tears in her eyes.
In the private box, Chris Mosh is slouched over with a sleep mask covering his eyes. The butler gently nudges him awake. The VIP peeks out under the mask and sees Tolson has won the right to face him at Equinox II. Mosh rips the mask off, tosses it aside, and stands in anger. The bag of popcorn in his lap gets flung this way and that as he goes on a rampage, sending popcorn flying all around. He then turns his attention to the cart, flipping it over before storming off out of sight in a tantrum. The last thing we see is the exhausted and trimphant Samantha Tolson kneeling in the ring, a smile crossing her face as she looks up towards the now-empty VIP box, mouthing the word "SOON".
