SAM HEWITT From Vehicle City! Flint, Michigan! Justin Seville is in fact not cleared to compete and so his schedule bout with World's Champion Ben Chrenshaw will not take place on today's program. Hello fight fans, I'm Sam Hewitt and... Brian Shelzi is not here yet, but texted me just a moment ago to say he's on his way. Our scheduled main event of Ben Chrenshaw vs. Justin Seville has been cancelled... and so the Australian tag team match with AJ Knight & Mushigihara against Alexander Irvine & Graham Gosch will instead be the feature bout. Interesting to note that Knight & Mushigihara despite seeming like an odd pairing have already racked up a win together in Japan and will go back there immediately following tonight's program in hopes of winning a tournament for the vacant World Tag Team titles. I'm sure I speak for the lot of you when I say that I would like to see those titles returned to the Great Lakes area and they look a tandem that could do just that. Let's hand it over to Brady Rossen to introduce the opening bout.
BRADY ROSSEN Ladies and gentlemen, your opening bout of the evening is to be fought over a ten minute time limit with one fall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing first fighting out of Wall Township, New Jersey! He weighs in at two hundred and thirty eight pounds... Richard Dweck!
Dweck waves.
BRADY ROSSEN His opponent fighting out of Madison, Wisconsin! He weighs in at two hundred and ten pounds... Ashley Kendrick!
Kendrick raises an arm, then removes his t-shirt... turning around to hand it off to Hype Jones.
BRADY ROSSEN Your referee for this bout is Robbie Morris!
Dweck doesn't wait for the bell, jumping Kendrick from behind. Referee Robbie Morris tries to restore order, but Kendrick turns the tides on the comedian turned fighter before he can! Kendrick begins feeding him punches, first to the body and then to the head as Dweck tries to get away. Kendrick takes him by the head and leads him right into the top turnbuckle, Dweck recoils off and tries to slink away, but Kendrick grapples him...
AND BEGINS PUNCHING HIM AGAIN!
Dweck instinctively ducks.
UPPERCUT!
The Rhea Special finds its first victim in Lion's Road and AK drops down for the cover, hooking the leg.

...
3!
Jones is on the apron at two, celebrating the win. He climbs inside and gives AK a hug, then shouts "BAD LUCK DWECK!" before laughing obnoxiously. Kendrick smirks, then gets his arm raised in victory by Robbie Morris. Jones grabs a camera.
HYPE JONES
Yo, Mandy. Put my boy in the Heritage Cup!
Jones releases the camera and slaps AK on the chest, leading to the two exiting the ring. We cut back to Sam Hewitt about to speak when Brian Shelzi bursts into the shot and scrambles to put his headset on.
BRIAN SHELZI Sorry I'm late. What did I miss...?
Shelzi looks at his watch and then at Hewitt. Hewitt shrugs.
BRIAN SHELZI ...I shouldn't be surprised. |

We cut backstage to Marion Payett, Rafa's manager and... current holder of the Heritage Heavyweight title - by possession only. Payett adjusts the title on his shoulder and motions for the camera to follow him. They make to a door labelled MANDEVILLE NELSON and Payett briefly considers knocking, but instead barges right in. Nelson tells whoever's on the phone with him that he'll call them back in a minute.
“I know, I know,” Marion cut to the chase, adjusting the title awkwardly. “Rafa is supposed to be here. Of course you would want the new Heritage Heavyweight champ on the show! I get it. The deal is though, Mandy, that Rafa is in Miami this week enjoying some well-earned R&R, nursing his wounds away from this frozen shitshow. If you want the new champ to address the division’s future, you’ll have to wait until next week.”“Okay,” Mandy smiled. The show tonight was booked solid and had no room for Rafa’s celebration, but he didn’t tell Marion that. “It will have to be next week then.”“Alright,” Marion said uncertainly, not expecting such little blow back. “I’m gonna get the hell out of here before the Markhams see me with the title.”“I was just on the phone with security, they said the Markhams just got here...” Mandy lied. Marion squealed and hightailed it out of the office as the boss laughed.
HERITAGE CUP 2019
1/5 - Toledo, Ohio
1/12 - Sandusky, Ohio
1/19 - Cleveland, Ohio
1/26 - Erie, Pennsylvania
2/2 - Buffalo, New York
Darkness.
The sound of people socializing above a piano softly playing begins to fade in as darkness ascends. Dozens of well dressed men and women are talking and laughing as the music plays on. Suddenly the doors swing open and a hush falls over the crowd, murmurs begin about just who he is. Ben Chrenshaw smirks and confidently strides through the centre of the room, many of the women's eyes light up and follow him across the floor. Chrenshaw stops in the middle of the room, adjusts his cuff links and smirks as he looks around.
ANNOUNCER
When you wear a suit by Talais Ramses...
Chrenshaw stops a beautiful young woman standing alone. He walks up and simply offers his hand, to which she blushes and extends her hand as coy as possible. Chrenshaw pulls her in and the two begin to dance as Chrenshaw smirks.
ANNOUNCER
...you don't have to SAY anything at all.

THROWBACK THURSDAY 12/15/2016 WORLD'S HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH - TRIANGLE SURVIVAL Julian Cutlass (c) vs. Ben Chrenshaw vs. Hammerstein
Price calls all three to the middle and goes over the rules and tells of the champion's choice - whether he wants to start the match in the ring or the apron. Cutlass gives Price a stern look, and the referee responds "In the ring, it is". Price produces a quarter to use in the coin flip, but Chrenshaw swats it away and tells Price that he'll start against him. This produces a great pop as the men stand face to face. Price backs them up and tells all three to shake hands if they like, Hammerstein and Cutlass fist bump and leave Chrenshaw standing there. Hammerstein exits the ring, Cutlass takes his corner and so to does Chrenshaw. The bell sounds and both men start out from the corner in their fighting stances. Chrenshaw dives in, faking a takedown attempt but Cutlass swings his foot forward and narrowly misses the Crippler which elicits a smirk from the challenger. Cutlass and Chrenshaw both tie-up with Chrenshaw kneeing Cutlass in the gut and backing him into the ropes. He shoots him out, but it gets reversed mid way and Chrenshaw is sent into the ropes! He comes running back and Cutlass goads him into a side headlock and then hip tosses him to the mat! Chrenshaw springs back up and runs right into a palm strike! Cutlass hops on top for the lateral press!
1...
...
2-KICK OUT!
Cutlass quickly turns Chrenshaw over and tries to apply the Nagata Lock III, but Chrenshaw scurries away before he's apply to get it even halfway locked in. Chrenshaw gets up, smiling at Cutlass who tells him just how close the Crippler was to an early end in this match.
CHAD GOMEZ:
You know what I find interesting about this match, Bas?
BASTIAN KRULL:
What's that?
CHAD GOMEZ:
Normally in these types of matches - triangle matches, triple threats, whatever - you'll have fighters wanting to take the easiest route possible to the finish and it makes sense, don't get me wrong but each of these men here tonight each want to be the one to eliminate the other two.
BASTIAN KRULL:
You're not wrong about that, Chad. Cutlass would love to defeat two challengers in one match, Chrenshaw would love nothing more than to close out arguably the best year of any fighter here in Lion's Road by defeating not one, but two opponents en route to his third singles title and Hammerstein? Well, he's determined to show everyone that he didn't fluke his way into this match and that he belongs in the main event scene and he can show that if he is able to knock off Julian Cutlass and Ben Chrenshaw.
CHAD GOMEZ:
That's a big if there, Bas.
Chrenshaw and Cutlass lock horns again with Chrenshaw going behind, clamping on a hammerlock and wrenches it in - doubling Cutlass over in pain and then drags him down to his knees on the mat. Chrenshaw holds the arm in place and rises to his feet before dropping a knee on the arm! Cutlass rolls away in pain, but Chrenshaw retrieves him and backs him onto the ropes and unloads a knife edge chop to the chest of the champion... Cutlass reels back from the shot and Chrenshaw makes like he's going to do a second, but stops short and punches Cutlass square in the mouth! Cutlass doubles over in pain and Chrenshaw goes back to the hammerlock and spins Cutlass out and into the mat. Chrenshaw demonstrates his abilities a bit by sort of reversing the entire sequence and then whips Cutlass into the corner from the opposing corner. Chrenshaw delivers several knees to the midsection and then a final blow to the head... Cutlass flies back into the corner and Chrenshaw asks Hammerstein if he wants some. Cutlass Mongolian chops Chrenshaw and staggers him. Cutlass storms out of the corner... STO~! He roars back to his feet, calming down as he does and silently stalks Chrenshaw who's trying to get back on his own two feet. Cutlass grabs him... EXPLO-NO! Chrenshaw elbows his way out of it and the champion falls to his knees. Chrenshaw darts toward Hammerstein, smacking him! Hammerstein tries to jump into the ring, but Xavier Price intercepts him and Chrenshaw smirks as he pulls Cutlass to his feet and headbutts him with the protective face mask! The crowd boos as Chrenshaw smirks and holds his arms up in innocence as Price questions him. Chrenshaw drops down for a cover!
1...
...
2...
HAMMERSTEIN BREAKS IT UP!
CHAD GOMEZ:
That's just stupid! Hammerstein hasn't even been in the match yet and he could've had one less person to deal with. Ben Chrenshaw could've eliminated Julian Cutlass, we'd have a guaranteed new World's Champion and Hammerstein would be fresh as can be against Chrenshaw! I think he's scared, Bas!
BASTIAN KRULL:
What are you talking about?
CHAD GOMEZ:
He broke that pin up because he NEEDS Julian Cutlass to beat Ben Chrenshaw FOR HIM! Hammerstein knows if it comes down to him and Chrenshaw, he's toast - he's never beaten Ben Chrenshaw! Chrenshaw has eliminated him from a battle royal, he beat him by points decision and he would've had him beaten last week too!
BASTIAN KRULL:
I don't think that was Hammerstein's mindset at all, I think Hammerstein has enough honour and integrity that he didn't want to see Julian Cutlass eliminated from this bout because of an illegal move that Chrenshaw did while Price's back was turned!
CHAD GOMEZ:
His loss.
Chrenshaw pulls Cutlass up by his arm and kicks him in the gut, letting him fall back to the mat. Chrenshaw pulls him back up by the arm again, stalking around Cutlass and leading him by the arm... Chrenshaw fakes Hammerstein out by acting like he's going to chuck Cutlass in his direction, but doesn't. Hammerstein tries to hop in again, which of course gets Price in between them and Chrenshaw throws Cutlass over the top rope and to the floor! Chrenshaw follows him out, pulling him up off the mats and ramming him back first into the ring apron before rolling him back inside the ring. Chrenshaw slithers in and immediately drops a knee on the leg of Cutlass! Cutlass nearly leaps to his feet in agony and the Crippler is right there to lock him into a front chancery and snap off a suplex! Chrenshaw gets up, taunts Hammerstein again and turns around... LARIATO~! Cutlass nearly sends Chrenshaw back over the Atlantic Ocean and both men are down on the mat! Of course, if neither man were able to answer the ten count... I do suppose Hammerstein would win the match by default so that's an interesting thought. It's not to be though as both men begin the ascent back to a vertical base. Cutlass gets up between Chrenshaw and Hammerstein and the Crippler charges Cutlass, driving a knee into his back! Cutlass falls forward and HAMMERSTEIN TAGS HIMSELF IN! The place goes nuts as Hammerstein climbs inside, all fired up and Ben Chrenshaw to his credit doesn't beg off or back down... he takes a few steps back and eggs Hammerstein on. Hammerstein charges forth for a lock-up, but gets kneed in the gut and staggers away doubled over. Chrenshaw drives a double axe handle into his back and then springs off the ropes... Hammerstein stands up and Chrenshaw runs into him and falls to the mat, but the Hammer stands tall. Chrenshaw gets back up and bounces off the ropes again, but gets hip tossed this time! The fans roar as Hammerstein drops a knee across Chrenshaw's head and then springs to his feet, leaps into the air... SENTON~!
BASTIAN KRULL:
The worst possible scenario for Ben Chrenshaw - he's got a fresh Hammerstein to contend with and unless he rolls out to the floor, I don't see Julian Cutlass being willing to let him tag back out of the ring.
CHAD GOMEZ:
So it's a handicap match!? Is that what you're saying!?
BASTIAN KRULL:
No, of course not, but Ben Chrenshaw didn't do himself any favours riling both men up.
Hammerstein leans back and hooks the leg!
1...
...
2-KICKOUT!
Hammerstein leans over and goes to pull up Chrenshaw, but gets poked in the eye! Price signals to Aarons and produces a yellow card!
JAKE AARONS:
Referee Xavier Price has issued a yellow card to Ben Chrenshaw - his first public warning!
Hammerstein staggers away, only to get chop blocked! Hammerstein nearly goes down but catches himself on the ropes, but only for the Crippler to run up and kick him in the back of the leg! Hammerstein falls to the mat and rolls to the centre of the ring, Cutlass watches from the apron as Chrenshaw grabs the leg and yanks it straight causing Hammer to yelp! Chrenshaw then grabs Hammerstein's leg and looks like he's going to go for the Wrinkle in Time single leg crab, but then he drops the leg and taunts Cutlass... going so far as to try and slap him, Cutlass eats the bait and hops into the ring... allowing Chrenshaw to hoof Hammerstein in the family jewels! Hammerstein cries out in pain as Chrenshaw smirks at the fan reaction to it. Xavier Price questions him, but he denies any wrongdoing. Price shakes his head and orders him back to action, but Chrenshaw looks in Cutlass' direction and smirks before grabbing Hammer's leg again and attempting to turn him over. Hammerstein pulls his leg in, drawing Chrenshaw close to him and pops him with a right hand! Chrenshaw reels back and Hammer tries to kick him with his free leg, but the Crippler reaches down, readjusting his gr-SMALL PACKAGE!
1...
...
2...
...
3!
CHAD GOMEZ:
WHAT?!
The place is going nuts!
BASTIAN KRULL:
Hammerstein just eliminated Ben Chrenshaw!
Chrenshaw can't believe it and he gets up in complete shock, he argues with Price about the count but Julian Cutlass bounds into the ring, swings the Crippler around and headbutts him! Chrenshaw falls to the mat and Cutlass kicks him out to the floor! Chrenshaw slaps the apron in frustration and security comes out to escort him to the back. Hammerstein slowly gets to his feet, still feeling the effects of the low blow. "YOU'RE NO JOKE!" chants echo throughout the arena as Cutlass smiles, Hammerstein gulps and gets to his feet. Cutlass extends his fist and Hammerstein bumps him. We're down to two...
BASTIAN KRULL:
Julian Cutlass vs. Hammerstein... I didn't think Lion's Road would be closing out the year with these two in the ring for the King of the Lions Championship. It's been a long winding road to get here. The resurgence of Julian Cutlass, Alexander Irvine and Black Lion's Road and the rise of Hammerstein.
CHAD GOMEZ:
Which you can attribute to Eli Buchanan.
BASTIAN KRULL:
Uh... I mean, I guess? He did claim to train him, but I think Buchanan's most inspiring work came after he fireballed his "friend".
CHAD GOMEZ:
It's like trying to tutor the class clown, Bas.
Price calls for the bell and Hammerstein, the fresher of the two but having taken a low blow meets Julian Cutlass, having taken a bump over the top rope and to the floor and then had his back rammed into the ring apron. Cutlass and Hammerstein immediately begin firing forearm shots at each other... Hammerstein tries to go for the Dropping the Hammer but Cutlass pushes him forward - having dealt with that move with Robb Daniels. Hammerstein bounds off the ropes and hoofs Cutlass in the face with a vicious forearm, doubling the champion over... Hammerstein grabs Cutlass' arm and pulls him in for a lariat... but Cutlass ducks, go behind... GERMAN SUPLEX~! Hammerstein lands hard, but rises up... CUTLASS HITS THE LARIAT! Hammerstein staggers, but only falls to one knee so Cutlass twirls him around, rear waistlock... BACKDROP SUPLEX! HE HOLDS IT!
1...
...
2...
...
3-NO!
Cutlass shakes his head out and confirms with Price that it was only two before climbing back to his feet. He pulls Hammerstein up, reapplying the rear waistlock again but Hammerstein elbows himself free and kicks Cutlass in the gut! He clamps on a front chancery and goes for the snap-style DDT but Cutlass backs up and grabs the ropes, leaving Hammerstein to tumble to the mat on his own! Hammerstein scrambles back to his feet just in time to eat a palm strike from Cutlass, but the challenger falls back into the ropes and comes back with a forearm! The two begin trading blows back and forth, the fans reaching a fever pitch as they somehow go even faster! Cutlass ducks a Hammerstein forearm... EXPLODER SUPLEX! Hammerstein stays down, but so too does Cutlass... but he's stirring and rising back to his feet... Cutlass uses the corner as his aid and crouches... waiting patiently as he slows his breathing down... Hammerstein gets up, not knowing where Cutlass is at. Cutlass charges in... BLAZIN' KIC-NO! TOMAHAWK CHOP! Hammerstein dodges the kick, nails the chop and waves his finger in Cutlass' face! NOT IN MY HOUSE! Cutlass sloppily charges at Hammerstein, who dodges and throws him into the corner. The challenger sprints, majestically as ever and nails a picture perfect Stinger splash! Hammerstein catches Cutlass as he stumbles out and body slams him! He shouts WHY! And of course, the crowd replies WHY NOT!? He smiles and ascends the ropes and bounces on the second before launching off with the corner slingshot splash! He hooks the leg!
1...
...
2...
...
3!
NO!
FOOT ON THE ROPE!
Hammerstein falls backwards onto the mat, clutching his head in his hands and marvels at how very close he was to becoming the champion. Hammerstein pulls Cutlass up and contemplates his next move, but takes a bit too much time and Cutlass wallops him with a Mongolian chop! The challenger staggers and eats consecutive elbow strikes! Cutlass leaps into the air, clamping on a guillotine choke! Hammerstein fights it, desperately and tries to Northern Lights suplex his way out of it, but Cutlass uses his weight to turn things back in his favour. Hammerstein gets a second burst of energy and bulls Cutlass into the corner, squashing him and releasing the hold. Hammerstein stumbles back... BLAZIN' KICK! Hammerstein doubles over... but stands back up and ROARS at Cutlass, who backs up and does it again! Hammerstein falls to a knee, clearly in pain but using whatever adrenaline he's got left in the tank to fuel him. He hulks back to his feet but gets staggered by a lariat! Hammerstein drops to a knee... CUTLASS HOOFS HAMMERSTEIN IN THE FACE WITH A THIRD BLAZIN' KICK! Hammerstein teeters... teeters... teeters... and finally falls. Cutlass looks relieved as all hell and drops on top.
1...
...
2...
...
3!
The reaction is half cheers, half stunned silence. Xavier Price grabs the World's Heavyweight belt and hands it to Cutlass, who remains seated looking at Hammerstein - who's staring up at the lights. Cutlass gets up and raises his title in victory, but quickly turns around and extends a hand down to Hammerstein. The challenger wearily accepts the gesture and Cutlass tries to pull him up, but has to put the title down and use both hands to do so. The two share a hug as Hammerstein is yanked to his feet.

SAM HEWITT
Fans, at this time I'd like to introduce the matchmaker of Lion's Road - Mandeville Nelson!The crowd cheers for Mandy as he waves.
MANDEVILLE NELSON
Thank you, Sam. Over the last year, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing wonderful talent come out here every week, do what they can to put the spotlight on themselves and make Lion’s Road the place to be. And while some may call the man we’re about to welcome controversial at times - and his grandfather a royal pain in my ass all these years…The crowd laughs... and even Hewitt chuckles!
MANDEVILLE NELSON
...What we can all agree on is that in the year 2018, this man elevated the Heritage Heavyweight Championship to heights that are almost unparalleled since the title’s inception.
SAM HEWITT
With that said… please welcome… Bam Markham!Mandy greets Cam “Slam” Markham with a bro-hug while Bam approaches to the cheers of the crowd, stone-faced.
SAM HEWITT
First off, welcome to the both of you.Bam and Cam are both handed microphones as Cam has himself a laugh.
CAM “SLAM” MARKHAM
Mandy, Mandy, Mandy! Good to see you, old friend!
MANDEVILLE NELSON
Thank you, Cam.Sam Hewitt inches closer to the Markhams.
SAM HEWITT
Gentlemen, before we begin, I do have to ask. Seven days removed from one of the more physical Heritage Heavyweight bouts… how are you feeling?
BAM MARKHAM
Pissed off, genius. I lost my fuckin’ title and I want it back, how do you think? Don't tell me y'all wasted four years at journalism school just to ask me some dumb shit like that?The crowd laughs as Sam Hewitt clears his throat. Cam interjects.
CAM “SLAM” MARKHAM
What my grandson MEANT to say was while we disagree with how things turned out, the facts are facts. You are STILL lookin’ at the biggest, the baddest, the GREATEST record-breakin’ title-makin’ BIG BAD BULL that Lion's Road hss ever seen!
MANDEVILLE NELSON
Bam, in honor of such a great achievement among a highly-competitive division… I'd first like to reward you with this commemorative plaque for everything you've done in Lion's Road thus far.Bam takes the plaque and raises it high above his head, taking in the reception from the crowd.
MANDEVILLE NELSON
Now, Bam… while holding that title, you defended it against all comers including Alexander Irvine, a Triple Crown winner in his own right. While some may call your in-ring style uncouth, I say it made you a tremendous success and exemplified the fighting spirit of a champion. Not to mention, you smashed Corey Cruelty's previous record of days held, surpassing 196 days before setting a new record of 224 days. And because of that, I'd like to offer you a choice… He gestures on one hand.
MANDEVILLE NELSON
...You absolutely deserve a rematch for the Heritage Heavyweight Championship and if you want it, it's yours…Bam is about to answer when Mandeville Nelson raises a hand.
MANDEVILLE NELSON
...Or… I can reward you in another way… namely, you can forego your rematch and instead, you receive a World's Heavyweight title shot!And for once… Bam is speechless as Cam hoots and hollers at the thought of such a prospect. Bam looks to his grandfather, almost unsure of how to take the news.
CAM “SLAM” MARKHAM
Y'all hear that, boy? Way to make the goddamn Markham name proud!Bam - for the first time this segment - has a grin on his face. Either a rematch for the title he coveted or a chance at the big one. He turns to Cam.
CAM “SLAM” MARKHAM
It's your choice, boy. You earned this.Bam takes a moment to think before turning to Mandeville.
BAM MARKHAM
Nelson… I've made up my mind…
The crowd is silent in wait!
BAM MARKHAM
...and I'm gonna wait.
Nelson nods his head. The crowd does boo slightly, only because they want a decision now. Bam grins before he turns to the camera.
BAM MARKHAM
Rafa, I want your lucky ass to listen to me. Ben Chrenshaw, I want YOUR undeserving ass to listen to me… and respectfully, David, if y'all could do your stablemate a solid and hear me, that'd be great…
Small laughter from the crowd. BAM MARKHAM
Seven days, I'm puttin’ all of you on notice. Next week, I will make my decision. And whether you're my stablemate or whether you're a cheatin’ piece of shit deservin’ of an unholy ass-whompin' like the first two guys I mentioned…He gestures to his waist.
BAM MARKHAM
Bam MOTHERFUCKIN’ Markham… is gonna have some gold ‘round this waist again real soon!Bam and Cam nod to the cheering crowd, voicing support as the two head to the back.

The Flint, Michigan crowd was surprisingly receptive to the pro-Canadian Pierre the Masked Canuck, with several fans asking him to take them back to Canada with him! Jason Cashe was unsurprisingly booed, especially when he emerged with Reese Kennedy - the former manager of Hammerstein, who recently betrayed his client and joined forces with Cashe. The Georgia born Cashe looked focused as ever coming off losing the Heritage tag belts to Eli Buchanan and the aforementioned Hammerstein, but even focused, the self-appointed Pollo Bucket employee of the month opted to play with his food.
Pierre tried to rally the fans in his favour before the bell, chanting "EH! EH! EH!" to mild success. During the initial lock-up, Cashe threw Canuck into a backwards roll, overpowering him like it was nothing. However, the plucky veteran from Montreal got back up and went right back to the lock-up. Once more, Cashe shoved him down with ease but then tried following up with a crossbody splash in the corner as Canuck was getting back up. The masked Canadian moved out of the way and Cashe struck nothing but turnbuckles! Pierre slung his legs around Cashe's arm and hauled him down with a crucifix pin!
But it was only good for two! A close two!
Kennedy yelled in support of Jason Cashe, who ate a dropkick on his way back to his feet that sent him back into the corner. Pierre began playing to the crowd again, then ran in to strike the DiOGee... but Cashe caught him with a foot to the face. As Pierre stumbled away, Cashe grabbed him in a side headlock and sprung off the ropes... delivering a bulldog that slammed Pierre's head into the mat. The Bull DiOGee had found it's mark and the three count was academic.
Still perky with energy after his victory, Jason Cashe drops and rolls out of the ring. Reese Kennedy slowly clapping as he meets up with Cashe. Congratulating his new client for his win. Cashe heads over to where Sam Hewitt is waiting for him to share a few words. SAM HEWITTJason Cashe. Last we saw you, it was on the losing end of a Tag Team match where Eli Buchanan and Jacob Hammerstein won the Heritage Tag Ti--Pulling the microphone away from Sam Hewitt. Cashe didn't need or care to hear what he and everyone else knew already.
JASON CASHEAnd, so what? End of the day it's still do what I do. Scrap. Place paws on people and seek to turn them victims in a long line of them. That don't always come right away. I take some losses and gain wins not always in that ring.Boos from the crowd. Not supporting his approach to the business or his approach to certain individuals who are cheered for. He shrugs it off.
JASON CASHE
Who could have predicted that two Step Brothers would have a touch of chemistry? Who'd have thunk that me teaming with someone who ain't been in the ring in a good little while now would backfire? I guess me in hindsight but that is what THIS man is for! That is what Hammerstein has lost and I have gained and I'll tell you.. That seems like a win to me. That seems like a good trade when looking and knowing I lost tag titles that I won with someone I just don't much care for.Again the boos from the crowd. Curses thrown at him along with a few strains of water like someone flung a drink his way. SAM HEWITT
Eli Buchanan? Why the animosity with him?Sighing before scoffing, Jason Cashe gives Hewitt a brief drawn stare. Reese Kennedy steps closer as Cashe rips the mic from Hewitt completely and holds it for his General Manager. REESE KENNEDY
Ladies and gentlemen at home, do not adjust your set. And to all you people here in Flint, where the only thing lower than the water quality is the median IQ, no, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. I, Reese Kennedy, am the Professional Representative of the Slayer of the American Monster, Jacob Hammerstein, Jason Cashe.Kennedy turns a cynical eye towards Hewitt. REESE KENNEDY
Since that didn't happen here in Lion's Road, Mandeville Nelson, Mr. Hewitt here, and the rest of those in charge prefer that I not talk about it. Just go on The Fight Network On Demand and look it up. You'll enjoy it. But you, Mr. Hewitt, asked about my client, Mr. Cashe's animosity for Eli Buchanan. Eli Buchanan sickens my client. As fake and phoney as one person can be,whether he calls himself Tiger Mask Red or not, Eli Buchanan wears a mask and hides who he truly is.Stepping back, Reese hands Hewitt back the microphone as Cashe reaches over and rubs the bald head of his GM. A sign of him being a lucky charm. A sign of good things.
SAM HEWITT
Does this man speak for you now?A stern and cold stare falls over Sam Hewitt as Cashe turns back towards him. Hewitt holds out the mic so Cashe can respond. JASON CASHE
Sometimes. He has his own voice, he is his own man. What he provides for me is clarity. I see all of you without a filter. It has been YEARS since the point of all this really made sense. Take your Eli's and your Hammerstein's and I'm sure most of these fans out there booing me right now.Giving them their moment to show his point, Cashe smiles showing his two tooth trophy rack from when got his teeth knocked out winning a Heavyweight Title. JASON CASHE
That! Right there! Hear them boo. Yet they cheered me when I debuted. When I beat Rafa in his debut match. No, see it's only now because I am using unpopular tactics to hurt, embarrass and BEAT on those they love. Those they go wild for because those people wave to them. Because guys like Hammer go out and make a family, bond with his Step Brother because this business has become a fu**ing reality show! This is Professional Wrestling!! Not the Saturday morning cartoon channel but the channel that might show a man being bit by a snake and guess what? That snake is me.. Except, I'm a DiOGee.Kennedy Reese lifts a finger, steps in. Hewitt moves the mic to Reese and the General Manager of Jason Cashe and Seattle Pro says but one word.
REESE KENNEDY
oLeechaa’iThe birth name of Jacob Hammerstein. A name that translates to “dog”. Cashe takes over again on the mic as Hewitt shakes his head at the clear disrespect intended by the mentioning of that name.
JASON CASHE
I should never be seen on any posters. I will never pose for a magazine cover unless National Geographic started covering the feral fighters in Pro Wrestling. I am not a man bitch. I am not a nice person and so these fans, people who put on masks and have hearts or show love and care for their fellow competitor are going to stay not liking me. I am ugly and so is the business I am in and have had success in. That only gets worse from here.. Worse for ya'll, better for us!A look of disgust sits on Sam Hewitt's face as he pulls the mic back to himself. SAM HEWITT
What is the point of going after Eli's sister and Hammerstein's wife? That has nothing to do with this sport!Slowly shaking his head as if the answer was so clear and obvious. Cashe pulls the microphone to him and his voice begins a little slowly spoken so Hewitt could better understand. So everyone could.
JASON CASHE
They made it about her. They made it about their lives away from the ring. They put that before what we do in there..He points hard towards the ring. Again he shakes his head, takes the mic away from Hewitt and begins to leave the interview area near ringside. Kennedy joins him as Cashe carries the mic back towards the ring.
JASON CASHE
When all of us begin in this business. Our hearts are completely on this ring and what we can do inside of it. We give EVERYTHING to this ring. Sacrifice for this ring. Bleed, cry, break and bend for this ring. It represents EVERYTHING we want in life. For too many that begins to change. You find love for another, a smell that someone lets you inhale and it blossoms into a relationship. You have things to squeeze, taste, groan and moan with. Like a new toy and I have had PLENTY of them myself. Married once, engaged once or twice. Yet all failures not just because the relationship gets rocky but because what has continued to matter most is this ring.At ringside, Cashe turns to see that Sam Hewitt has remained back at the interview area. Reese Kennedy was with him though and had his back through all he was saying so he continued. JASON CASHE
Eli Buchanan plays a character and hides behind this gimmick he has created for himself. Hammerstein has given his heart to another and both have lost touch with what has stayed honest. They seek approval either by a crowd of people or a loving sister or wife. I seek only truth and the truth is right in front of me and where my heart has been broken and made whole a few times over but HAS always remained..Slowly, Cashe kneels down on one knee. Half of the crowd laughs and others clap while some clap while laughing as Cashe pops the question. JASON CASHE
If you like it then you should put a ring on it and here I kneel. Ring, my beautiful, bitchy, moody love of my life. Will you marry me?Everyone in the building was in tears. Laughing but some were crying because they were laughing so hard. A mockery of relationships made in this business but also a truth in why he was in this sport. Reese Kennedy shocked, eyes wide, mouth dropped open with an excitement on his face. JASON CASHE
I promise to hold you when I am down. To dance with you in celebration. I swear to trust that win, lose or draw it is you and ONLY you I want to be inside of. To lift your skirt and on occasion involve some toys to keep our relationship spicy!He got a pop from that. People liked silly, degenerate humor. Childish games and jokes because without those you take yourself far too seriously. Cashe meant his words though and remained on his knee. JASON CASHE
She said yes! Yes!Jumping up and celebrating, Jason Cashe hugs the ring post at the outside of the ring. Dropping the microphone in the process and Reese Kennedy walks over and picks it up. REESE KENNEDY
I am overjoyed! Congratulations! Consider this both an Engagement Announcement and because my client Jason Cashe, will be competing in the Heritage Cup!Pushing from the ring post. Cashe jumps towards Kennedy and pulls the mic so he can add more to that announcement. JASON CASHE Reese? Will you be my best man? The look of surprising shock fills his face. Tears line the bottom of his eyes as he nods yes. The two friends embrace and begin to head to the back. Celebrating and sharing a moment that represented true love in this business. |

SAM HEWITT My guests at this time are slated to compete in Japan tomorrow evening in an attempt to return the World Tag Team titles to Lion's Road, but first... tonight, they battle the dangerous duo of Alexander Irvine and Graham Gosch. Please welcome... AJ Knight, Mushigihara and Eddie Dante.
The camera pans out to reveal the two fighters and Mushi's manager.
SAM HEWITT Given your history with David Troy, AJ, some would say this is an odd pairing. How'd it come to be?
AJ shrugs.
AJ KNIGHT You can thank MAX Japan GM Masaaki Sano for this one. Shinjiro Nakama was hurt, they needed a tournament to fill the vacancy left in the titles... and we got paired up. So now the big man and I have a chance to do what Alexander Irvine and his goons never could - bring those belts back home.
MUSHIGIHARA Osu!
AJ looks toward the God-Beast and tilts his head slightly in confusion, but Dante takes the mic.
EDDIE DANTE What my man Mushi is trying to say is, he and young Knight here have got on swimmingly in their short tenure as a team, and do you know why that is? Sam simply shakes his head in denial. EDDIE DANTE It’s simple; AJ and we have followed in the footsteps of the God-Beast’s brother in the Dangerous Mix, and put aside any petty differences to focus on the mutual goal at hand. Those World Tag Team Championships are the treasure where the X marks the spot, and Graham Gosch and Alexander Irvine are no more than a pit stop along the way! AJ nods.
AJ KNIGHT
Tomorrow, after we take out the trash here, we go into enemy territory against two of the meanest sons of bitches on the Max Japan roster, with the entire arena in their corner. But the two of us are going to walk out there with the prayer of each and every one of the fans of the greatest company on the planet at our backs begging us "Bring those belts home!" Rest assured, your prayers will be answered tomorrow night!Mushigihara flexes before leering at the camera before letting out one last...
MUSHIGIHARA
Osu!
Dante pats the big man on the back.
EDDIE DANTE If you stand in our way... you better get ready to face divine wrath.
Mushi stays flexing as we go to break.

BRADY ROSSEN Ladies and gentlemen, this is your main event of the evening! An Australian tag team match to be fought over televising time remaining with one fall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing from Buffalo, Iowa! He weighs in at two hundred and twenty five pounds... Graham Gosch! His partner from Keokuk, Iowa! He weighs in at two hundred and thirty pounds... Alexander Irvine!
The crowd has plenty of boos for both men, but there are some noticeable cheers.
BRADY ROSSEN Introducing their opponents first from Mito in the Ibaraki Prefecture of Japan! He weighs in at two hundred and ninety four pounds... Mushigihara! His partner from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania! He weighs in at two hundred and twenty pounds... AJ Knight!
Eddie Dante hops off the apron as Knight and Mushi fist bump.
BRADY ROSSEN Your referee for this bout is Buster Powell!
The two sides take a few moments to determine who will start first after the bell sounds. Irvine emerges from his side and Mushigihara for his side... AJ Knight wants in as soon as he sees Irvine is starting the match, but Mushi turns and points to his chest and says...
OSU, of course.
Irvine circles the big man, acting like he wants to engage in a knuckle lock... but tries for a kick to the body when the big man gets close. Mushigihara avoids it and grabs a hold of Irvine, hitting him with a clubbing blow to the back before Irvine pulls himself free and begins blasting the Japanese sumo with slaps to the face! After three consecutive slaps, Mushigihara stands straight up and smiles at Irvine... who doesn't look scared, but is very quickly trying to calculate his next move. He slaps Mushi again...
BUT EATS A BIG SLAP IN RETURN!
Irvine stumbles, Mushi grabs him and quickly scoops him up and slams him to the mat before tagging in AJ. Irvine clearly intends to stay down for a moment, but pops right up when he hears the tag. Knight rushes in and shoots for a takedown on the rising Irvine, but the Triple Gold Club member sprawls out and the two have quite the sequence, countering each other's amateur wrestling tactics. Irvine tries to slink in a front chancery, but AJ backs him up into a corner... one in which Graham Gosch stands.
BRIAN SHELZI That's a brilliant tactic by Alexander Irvine! Wow! His back against the corner with AJ Knight firmly in the front chancery, Graham Gosch making his way into the ring with the little rat under full control.
Gosch comes in after a tag and pushes AJ against the ropes, grinding his forearm against his forehead. When Powell's count reaches four, Gosch releases the hold and pulls him away from the ropes - peppering him with elbow strikes as he does. Double G grabs the arm of AJ and wrenches it, then when AJ starts squirming - he wrenches it again. Knight finally wises up to the process and socks Gosch with a technical punch to the face, grabs Gosch and hauls him over with a side headlock. On the mat, Gosch quickly reverses into an arm triangle and AJ just as hastily gets to the ropes. Gosch once again waits until the last second to release... and AJ rolls out of the ring. Gosch calls him a chickenshit, forgetting that it's automatic tag. Mushigihara storms in behind Gosch and waylays him with a running shoulderblock! Gosch has nowhere to but down! Mushi gets up, hauls Gosch up and then brings him back down again!
SAM HEWITT A beautiful double arm suplex from Mushigihara! It appears that Gosch forgot that an automatic tag is made when the legal fighter in the match touches the arena floor and this has allowed Mushigihara to turn the momentum back in his sides' favour.
Mushi covers!
1...
...
2...
NO!
The sumo angrily yanks Gosch up to his feet and looks to be going for the Uranage, but Gosch elbows his way free and then grabs the big man in a clinch, delivering alternating left and right knees to Mushigihara's chest. Gosch slowly begins to back up and calls for Irvine, who tags himself in by slapping Gosch's back. With Mushigihara in the clinch, Irvine begins delivering kicks to the body while the knees are now targeting the head. Mushigihara looks to be faltering when....
HE CATCHES A KNEE!
HOISTS GOSCH INTO THE AIR!
Gosch tries to quickly apply a guillotine choke, but like an angry bull, Mushi uses Gosch's body to attack Irvine - sending both men flying down to the mat. The Flint crowd is LOUD after seeing Mushi literally use a man to attack another man. Gosch rolls out, leaving Irvine in there. Irvine has retreated to the corner and Mushi gets up looking for him, Irvine charges out looking for his flying knee strike but the big man steps aside! Mushi tries for a forearm smash, but Irvine leaps onto his back and applies a choke sleeper!
IT'S IN DEEP!
Mushigihara is fading fast, but still struggling to fight his attacker off. AJ Knight climbs up onto the top rope and thwarts an attempt from Gosch to keep him from executing his next move - a flying double axe handle to back of Irvine to make the save! Knight rolls back out, leaving Irvine and Mushi in the middle of the ring. With Irvine on all fours, Mushi gets to his knees and clamps his arms around the waist of the former World's Champion...
BRIAN SHELZI Uh oh... he can't!
Mushi lifts Irvine off the mat and turns him in the air...
SAM HEWITT He can, Brian!
Mushigihara spins around and then plants Irvine into the mat with the Holy War! His spinning powerbomb, covering him in the process.
1...
...
2...
...
SAVE BY GOSCH!
The crowd can't believe it! Gosch rolls back out to avoid a DQ for overstaying his welcome and AJ grabs him, while Mushigihara angrily snatches Irvine off the mat and puts a hand near his neck/chest and another by his crotch...
AND LIFTS!
GORILLA PRE--
Irvine slips out!
Mushi turns around, Irvine hoofs him in the stomach...
GUILLOTINE CHOKE!
Irvine tries his damnedest to bring the 6'4" Mushigihara further down close the mat, but the Monster of Mito is fighting it tooth and nail.
...
...
MUSHIGIHARA THROWS IRVINE OVERHEAD! BACK BODY DROP!
Mushi falls against the ropes, Irvine lands hard - holding his back in pain. Gosch has escaped AJ and climbs up on the apron and yells at Irvine to roll out, which the WALL General does - albeit very slowly. Gosch connects with several elbows to the face of Mushi, sending him stumbling back into the middle of the ring. Gosch tries to hurry through the ropes, but Mushigihara blasts him just as he gets his last leg through - forearming him back against the ropes. Mushigihara grabs him and Biel throws him into the middle of the ring, AJ Knight pops up on the apron and tags in. He slingshots himself over the top rope and lands near Gosch's downed body, he grabs Gosch and pulls him up to his knees and attempts to execute a swinging neckbreaker...
BUT GOSCH SWINGS OUT!
AND AJ CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK!
Gosch teeters over as the Flint crowd is losing its mind, AJ dives on top...
1...

...
3-NO!
FOOT ON THE ROPE!
BRIAN SHELZI Ring awareness, Sammy! You can't teach it!
SAM HEWITT That was Irvine! Irvine put his foot on the rope! Look at the replay!
Indeed, Irvine grabs Gosch's foot and puts it on the bottom rope.
BRIAN SHELZI Camera tricks. You guys are trying to discredit the incredible in-ring ability of Graham Gosch. Do you have something against Iowans, Sammy?
SAM HEWITT What are you talking about?
Before Shelzi can respond, Mushigihara is lumbering toward Irvine outside the ring. AJ Knight tries to pull Gosch to his feet, hammerlocking the arm...
AJ DROPS...
BUT GOSCH REMAINS STANDING! HE HELD ONTO THE ROPES!
The fall to the mat stuns AJ, but Gosch is still reeling from the superkick...
Irvine grabs Gosch and pulls him out of the ring, sliding in as AJ starts back up to his feet...
CHOKE SLEEPER ON AJ!
Gosch interrupts Mushigihara's dart back into the ring, but ends up getting Biel tossed into the aisle for his troubles. Mushigihara runs up and tries to splash him on the floor, but the catch grappler moves out of the way!
AJ tries to reach for the ropes...
Irvine wraps his legs around AJ's body...
...
...
THEY FALL TO THE MAT!
...
...
AJ HAS NOWHERE TO GO!
... AND HE'S FADING FAST!
AJ REACHES OUT FOR THE ROPES IN DESPERATION...
...
...
THE BELL SOUNDS!
SAM HEWITT Fans, we're out of time!
BRIAN SHELZI What!? No?! AJ was just about to tap out!
SAM HEWITT We'll see you next week in Detroit!
The last shots are Mushi and Gosch fighting in the aisle and Irvine refusing to let go of his choke on AJ...
