OG-FPD Ragnarok - Night 1

[OrochiGeese]

Night 1 - December 13th, 2010


Note 1: Even though Night 2 will be posted tentatively around December 27th, it will be treated in story lines as happening one night after this show.

Note 2 There's a lot of commentary on both nights so it's not so easy to quickly navigate. I'll be providing "codes" so you can get to any section of the show you want quickly and with minimal hassle. I would not advise checking out the main event of each Night without having some story context and I do truly believe the enjoyment of every match is greatly enhanced through commentary narration of why each has been made.

At the very least, the codes will give some easy jumping/browsing capacity for those who may want to watch the show in a different order then it is presented in or to return quickly to where you left off (cause it would be insane to watch this all in one sitting. And believe me, having written all of this, I know insanity pretty well!) Enjoy

*The Ragnarok Night 1 hype video starts off the show. Once it is finished, we get a split screen view of both the OG-Joshi and UBL auditoriums in the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena. The camera zooms into the commentary tables for both arenas where we see "Coach" Jean Carter sitting in the OG- Joshi section and John Randolph sitting in the UBL one. The camera further zooms to make it seem like the two are sitting next to each other.*

[MJC:] "Hi John! Can you hear me?"

[John:] "And see you too. Hello Jean!"

[MJC:] "Hello...again! And we hope all of you back home can see and hear us too! Welcome to Ragnarok, the OG-FPD Seventh Anniversary PPV!!"

[John:] "What a show we have for you all! Twelve matches spread across two nights of action!"

[MJC:] "And two commentators!! It's a pleasure to be back in the broadcast booth with you, six months after the Battalion Finale show, even if this booth is a bit bigger and less connecty then usual. "

[John:] "It is weird talking to someone that isn't right next to me but given the things that happen in these two promotions, I'd say it's pretty tame in comparison."

[MJC:] "You got that right. And tonight is sure to be no exception with the number of big matches and big egos here."

[John:] "Let's show the fans what they're in for:


*The Orochi-Tron's in both arenas show the match listing

Night 1:

1) Alicia Gordon vs. Haley Cannon
2) Luke Kisiera/Matt Rivers vs. Nightmare/Dokuja
3) Cage: Marauder vs. Naja Mask
4) OG-Joshi Amplitude Title: Gutter vs. Eris Byrne (c)
5) UBL Nexus Title: Corey O'Brian vs. Julian Caesaro (c)
6) I Quit: Robin "Holly" Walker vs. Celes


[John:] "So this is actually the first time you've commentated a PPV as acting OG-Joshi Coach. Is is strange for you to have a different perspective and responsibility?"

[MJC:] "It definitely is. I told Geese that I wanted to do this tonight but I have to be careful to balance my roles and not bore the fans with administrative stuff."

[John:] "I've never known you to bore anyone, ever."

[MJC:] "No time to start now! Let's get to discussing the first match and not silly ole me!"


(Code: RN1-1C )


[John:] "While I certainly follow OG-Joshi, I think I'll let you take lead on explaining everything given your unique vantage point."

[MJC:] "Likewise to you for UBL. Alicia Gordon and Haley Cannon were 'placed' together by the former General, Celes, in order to calm Alicia's anger. From the time Juli Krieger injured her years ago up until, well, arguably today, Alicia has had anger management troubles. Celes was hoping that Haley's maturity and level headedness would be an asset in Alicia's self-professed desire to recovery. However, that isn't what happened. A number of incidents occurred between the two based on miscommunication and different philosophies and Alicia wanted a clean break from the alliance. So she asked me for this match."

[John:] "Did you have any misgivings in making it?"

[MJC:] "Yes, I did. And while Alicia's recent statement addressed some of my questions, it also added to my concerns."

[John:] "I believe she had some words questioning your leadership."

[MJC:] "Probably the fifth person in the last month, actually. But I was more concerned with the pent up aggression she had as well as her inability to put this behind her. I don't have a problem with two rivals settling their issue in the ring. In fact, I'd much rather they do it there then backstage or in the parking lot. *Jean pauses for a second*. But I didn't think Alicia and Haley even needed to fight each other based on their short term alliance. They had a disagreement, and that was it. No need to team with each other any more but why fight? Neither really hurt the other one in the past."

[John:] "So if you don't mind me asking, why are you still allowing this match?"

[MJC:] "Cause Alicia said one thing that did resonate with me. The fact is that Haley Cannon is a former OG-Joshi World Champion. And let me just clarify something: even though Holly is the longest reigning Champion, it was Haley who established our title as a World Title. So to say she played a big role in the formative period of OG-Joshi is an understatement. Just as it would be to say she's still competitive. I'd personally rank her in the top five of Voltage wrestlers just based on her track record and ability to win a match at any second."

[John:] "Alicia indirectly touched on that topic by mentioning that Haley has one of the highest rates of causing injury to her opponents due to her powerful submission holds."

[MJC:] "I can't argue statistics but I can argue intent. And there hasn't been one wrestler that Haley has wanted to hurt. Even when she broke Holly's leg, she felt bad about it. This is a rough sport and sometimes injuries do happen. But in my mind, Haley has never once tried to hurt someone beyond the pursuit of victory within the confines of one match."

[John:] "I can accept that."

[MJC:] "As for why I did make this match. the fact is that Alicia is another top contender to the World Title on Voltage. I don't think anyone can doubt her abilities or her track record. In fact, she's lined up for a LAWL OMG Title shot against Jenny McLanahan at LAWLiday. We'll certainly have our eyes on that match with two current OG-Joshi wrestlers."

[John:] "I wouldn't stare into that particular sun for too long."

[MJC:] "LAWL isn't for the feint of heart, John. *laughs*. But if you can look beyond some of their idiosyncracies, you'll find they have top notch wrestling there too. But my point is that Alicia vs. Haley is an important match for top contendership here. And even if these two didn't have a past, I'd still consider this a match I'd want to make to figure out rankings. Visper Karr had to defeat both Jo Ryder and Haley Cannon to get a World Title shot and putting Alicia against Haley here makes sense. So I'm hoping that both wrestlers can keep themselves focused on that reasoning and not let any personal animosity cause them to get distracted from World Title contendership."

[John:] "Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened during that Voltage triple threat match between them and Narai Kaeo."

[MJC:] "Very good, John! You're doing your OG-Joshi homework!"

[John:] "So if you aren't too bound by objectivity here, do you have a prediction?"

[MJC:] "I kinda am, at least from a Coach standpoint. I can't make a prediction on something like this other then to say it will be a good match. I don't want either of these two to think I'm favoring the other, especially with the things Alicia has said about me. And that's not just dodging the issue, But on top of that, i really can't make a decision.it's the truth. Like I said, if I already thought one was better then the other, I wouldn't need to have this match at all. I think they're both capable of winning and it will be up to them to decide who can grab a higher contendership position, rather then my guess."

[John:] "Good answer! And it looks like we're getting closer to this match starting."

[MJC:] "Haley already started to walk down to ringside during our analysis. She seems calm and collected as always. You can't rattle this woman. On the other hand, Alicia has a look in her eyes that I really am not happy to see. It's not so much anger or rage as uncertainty. And sometimes that can be even more dangerous then outright anger."

[John:] "Someone who doesn't have a handle on things may be more desperate. And you know what they say about the wounded animal in the corner."

[MJC:] "You should take it to a vet?"

[John:] "Uh...the other thing. That it can lash out at you."

[MJC:] "Not if you give it food and love. And tickle its tummy every now and then."

[John:] "I think we'll agree to disagree on this one."

[MJC:] "Very diplomatic of you! Let's see if Alicia and Haley can do the same!"

*John is silent as Jean looks towards the ring with a tear rolling down her eye. Medics are trying to attend to Alicia as she spits on Haley. Jean gets the microphone*

[MJC:] "Miss Gordon, you are suspended. You have five seconds to leave the ring or you will be fired."

*Alicia looks conflicted here as she appears to want to continue the attack but she complies with Jean's order and walks backstage to boos as medics help Haley.*

[John:] "We're going to take a short break, folks. We apologize for what you just had to see."


Alicia Gordon (X) [Pull Guard Armbar - 8:54] (O) Haley Cannon



*An ad airs starting with just the number: 2005. Then we see the number turn tofour potato wedges. Then someone eats the number. Now just a 5 appears. It morphs into a banana. Someone eats it. Then the words: "Cinco de LAWLo: The 5 Year Anniversary of LAWLiday - coming this year" appears. Each word turns into a different fruit or vegetable to be eaten. Then the commercial ends and we're back to Ragnarok with a focus on Jean Carter at the commentary table.*



[MJC:] "Hope you got your wish, Geese. Everyone is going to be more bloodthirsty tonight to follow your example, huh? OG-Joshi wrestlers, if I see that again tonight or tomorrow night, you're fired. I don't care who you are. You are FIRED if you attack someone after the match. This nonsense has to stop, especially on the biggest show of the year."

[John:] "Jean, I'm not going to attempt to defend the severity of the attack here but I do have to note one thing."

[MJC:] "You can note whatever you want, I'm not angry at you. You didn't do that."

[John:] "No direspect to Haley but I can understand if perhaps Alicia was a bit...confused by what happened at the end of that match."

[MJC:] "Confused?"

[John:] "Haley kept attacking Alicia after she broke her leg."

[MJC:] "Yeah, of course she did. Alicia didn't give up!! In fact, I'm not sure if Haley even realized she broke Alicia's leg with that kick to the knee. She didn't realize it because Alicia didn't tap out after the Cannon Stretch. Alicia didn't stop attacking Haley as well! So for all Haley knew, Alicia was fine. She kept fighting, didn't she?"

[John:] "Well, yeah, she did."

[MJC:] "Its not like a big bright message flashes in front of a wrestler saying that their opponent is hurt!"

[John:] "I agree. Life isn't a video game. Not that I know any game in which that happens."

[MJC:] "It was Alicia's responsibility to end the match. If she had just given up during the Cannon stretch, that would have been it. Heck, even if she had given up immediately after, Haley wouldn't have followed up! End of story. But as long as Alicia was still in the match and attacking, what else could Haley have done? Throw down her own guard?"

[John:] "Well, I guess fight back. Haley can't get the ref to end the match on Alicia's account! There'd never be another wrestling match if that could happen!"

[MJC:] "Right. If you ask me, Haley was being pretty charitable by refocusing her offense on Alicia's arms. She didn't want to hurt her leg even further. Haley did the absolute most noble thing that she could have in that situation and she clearly looked concerned."

[John:] "Meanwhile, I think Alicia finally did tap out because she wanted to stop Haley from fighting. And keep her off guard for the impending attack."

[MJC:] "It's hard to tell if she gave up intentionally or because she was in some kind of shock. If your leg gets really hurt, the overall shock could affect your body and cause you to give up even if your arm is mostly ok."

[John:] "Do you think what she did was premeditated? I don't mean just in the last few minutes of the match, but before the match even began. I can't help but wonder if Alicia had intended the same ending even if, clearly, she'd have wished for a better lead-in. As hurt as Haley is, Alicia's leg is now broken too. That part she didn't plan."

[MJC:] "And I would have been pretty upset about her leg had she not followed up the way she did."

[John:] "Well in any case, that was not the start of the show we had hoped for."

[MJC:] "I really hope Haley is ok. As for Alicia, her suspension is indefinite."

[John:] "So maybe it's time to get to the next match."



(Code: RN1-2C )


[MJC:] "I have mixed feelings about this one too. I'm very proud to see my two friends Luke and Matt get onto their first big UBL show but considering the threats Nightmare and Dokuja have made, I'm worried about more injuries."

[John:] "So you're just...'friends' with Luke?"

[MJC:] "Haha, well I don't like discussing personal relationships on air but let's just say Luke and I have a special friendship and leave it at that."

[John:] "Understood."

[MJC:] "The reason for this match is because of what occurred during the October Open show. John, would you like to take us through all this?"

[John:] "Naja Mask and Marauder have been fighting each other since the Battalion league, as you are well aware having seen it unfold in front of you."

[MJC:] "Too aware, unfortunately. Watching their alliance and friendship end the way it did was not a happy occasion. Nor was it a happy occasion to see Naja join up with Nightmare to attack and further scar Marauder at the Battalion Finale show."

[John:] "Marauder then made his return to the ring alongside Goro Yamashita against Naja and Nightmare. Dokuja, formerly of Black Venom, interfered in the match on behalf of Naja and Nightmare to brutally attack their enemies. But Luke and Matt -"

[MJC:] "Gallantly came to the ring to prevent further attack and injury!"

[John:] "Right."

[MJC:] "Sorry for the interruption. Thinking about those heroic actions made me feel a bit better after the last match. I'm not sure if Luke will ever be as proficient in the ring as Alicia but there's no way in the world I'd ever give a spot to her instead of him."

[John:] "Now the question is what can Matt and Luke do in the actual ring, given their status as relative rookies."

[MJC:] "Well it's hard to call Matt a rookie just because he's been in the UBL for over a year. And he was just awarded the position of "Field Leader" by Drake."

[John:] "He wasn't only recently awarded it, he also defended it TWICE in the last month. In fact, his last defense was a particularly brutal one against newcomer Corruptor: a man who took out Reserve member Vert Triangle. For Matt to beat him was a huge accomplishment even though it may have taken something out of him for this match."

[MJC:] "But I wouldn't underestimate him in that ring. Now Luke...*Jean giggles a bit*, he's coming along. He's wrestled less then 5 matches at this point."

[John:] "But he is now officially on the Front Lines roster?"

[MJC:] "And he earned that position based on his heroism in helping Marauder and Goro. He's been training with Matt and Goro and is very excited for this match. He realizes what an honor it is to be on an Anniversary show card and he also appreciates the magnitude of the threat made by Snake Mountain to do to him and Matt what they wanted to do Marauder and Goro. This is a bittersweet occasion for both men. Glorious but dangerous."

[John:] "Dokuja has been extremely motivated since joining Snake Mountain and Nightmare has been re-energized as well. We saw Nightmare actually defeat Bak Fu of all people during the Universal Champions league. So whoever underestimates Nightmare's ability in this promotion has clearly not been watching. This man is one of the top wrestlers in the promotion, if you ask me, and is capable of extreme violence as well."

[MJC:] "Dokuja was also the most dangerous member of Black Venom. So we're looking at a team here that, along with Naja, could make a serious run at the newly established Universal Battalion Tag Titles once their holders are decided next year."

[John:] "Which means Snake Mountain will want to make a statement here in an attempt to get early contendership and scare away potential rivals."

[MJC:] "And I sure hope that statement is how good they are in the ring rather how badly they can hurt people."

[John:] "And if it's not?"

[MJC:] "Marauder and Goro are both going to be nearby for this match. In fact, Drake even managed to schedule a meeting with Geese now just so that Furis won't attack him and Goro can be freed up to help out here."

[John:] "You said the "F" word first, Jean. Do you have a swear jar?"

[MJC:] "Haha, no, I don't. But I'll send you a gift basket for the holidays!"

[John:] "Even better."

[MJC:] "And here comes Luke and Matt. Matt looks ready and primed while Luke looks...well, sometimes it takes him a bit of time to get into the right mindset here."

[John:] "Hopefully this goes a bit better then his last in ring effort."

[MJC:] "Arthur Wingate is a top competitor that beat Matt as well. Even though it wasn't fun losing in 10 minutes, he realizes he was up against someone of more experience and current skill. Luke went out there and gave it his best shot and learned from it. And what Luke has to do here tonight is not get intimidated and use that same out of ring heroism to bring his team to success. Remember, he has won a match against Grant Thumb."

[John:] "Did you see Grant Thumb and Parachute Rousseau's match at InterGOREtastic, Jean?"

[MJC:] "Yes. Yes I did."

[John:] "LIFE won a match against Grant Thumb."

[MJC:] "I'd say be nice but Grant was rude to LOLCat."

[John:] "And now we have Dokuja and Nightmare coming to the ring. No theatrics here, just two men who plan to fight and do so violently."

[MJC:] "I'm sure hoping for the best here. You can do it, Matt and Luke!"

[John:] "Let's get to the-"

[MJC:] "Heart of a hero!"

[MJC:] "How can that stand!? They used weapons on Matt Rivers! This wasn't an anything goes match!"

[John:] "I don't think the referee saw it, Jean. Once he did think something fishy, err, serpenty was going on, Dokuja concealed his blade."

[MJC:] "Not only was that dangerous but unfair too! Matt was doing so great! He had both of his opponents in major trouble with his signature sleeper, the Stop Valve."

[John:] "Well, Luke looks like he could still use some tag team experience in terms of coming to his partner's aid. I'm not saying Dokuja didn't win that match decisively, but Luke seemed a little too lacksadaiscal or just confused at the end."

[MJC:] "He did the best he could one on one, but the ref seemed more concerned with sending Luke back to his corner then stopping Snake Mountain from using a SHARP BLADE to Matt's forehead!"

[John:] "I can't argue with that."

[MJC:] "Dokuja finally beat Matt with his finisher but only after bleeding him dry. Considering how much Matt wrestled the last few weeks, you gotta give him credit for fighting as hard as he did here. He had his stamina literally drained out of him."


Luke Kisiera/Matt Rivers (X) ["Serpent God's Clutch" - 20:18] (O) Dokuja/Nightmare



[John:] "Unfortunately Snake Mountain doesn't seem as respectful of his efforts as you do."

[MJC:] "Cut that out!"

[John:] "Not the best choice of words as they have their blades out again and it looks like this isn't over."

[MJC:] "Luke runs into the ring, be careful!"

[John:] "Nightmare is about to swing that blade of his at Luke, but Luke ducks under the attempted blade lariat."

[MJC:] "Come on Luke!!"

[John:] "Uh...what the hell is Luke doing now?"

[MJC:] "He just threw something on the ground!"

[John:] "Jean, that looks like candy. Round, hard candy! And Dokuja and Nightmare are actually tripping on it!"

[MJC:] "OMG, that's the candy Luke usually takes from Drake's office! And he's using it for a non-candy related purpose! Genius!"

[John:] "Well say what you will about this unorthodox attack, it has succeeded in holding Dokuja and Nightmare at bay. And it gave Marauder and Goro enough time to get down to the ring to toss out the violent offenders!"

[MJC:] "The situation looks stable but that was really too close. I don't know how Luke did it, but his quick thinking may have saved both his and Matt's career."

[John:] "Luke used his head before Dokuja and Nightmare used it as a pincushion."

[MJC:] "Hey, that was mean."

[John:] "Sorry, I just can't believe Luke's strategy worked there."

[MJC:] "Well if there's one thing I've learned about Luke Kisiera it's that he'll always surprise you with something in his pocket."

[John:] "uh...what?"

*Jean blushes considerably*

[MJC:] "Oh gosh, that came out wrong!! I mean...he'll rise to the occasion! Wait..."

[John:] "That's ok, we should probably take another break now anyway. It's going to take some time for the cage to come down for our next match, one that our first competitor is already here for. And Marauder is now being thanked by Luke and Matt before they are escorted backstage by Goro. Folks we'll see you in a few minutes."


*Commercials air for the upcoming FPCPP January Show.*


[MJC:] "I hear that's going to be a big show for Orochi Geese as he returns to the FPCPP."

[John:] "No one knows what he has planned-"

[MJC:] "But I doubt it's non-violent."

[John:] "Maybe he'll give an inspirational speech."

[MJC:] "I suppose anything's possible."

[John:] "Never thought Snake Mountain would be countered with CANDY."



(Code: RN1-3C )


[MJC:] "And speaking of possibilities, Marauder now has the chance to put to rest his feud with Naja Mask. Drake said that no matter who wins tonight, both men have to refocus their attention after this match."

[John:] "I don't blame him. This feud gone too far and is also getting redundant. Marauder continues to outclass Naja in one on one matches and Naja keeps using the numbers game to hurt Marauder after the match. This cycle has to stop."

[MJC:] "The number game? Is that like Uno?"

[John:] "I mean-"

[MJC:] "I know what you mean, I just needed to lighten the mood."

[John:] "It has been a heavy show so far but unfortunately I don't see a cage match being the one to change things around for the better."

[MJC:] "Good point, luckily OG-Joshi has a Championship match coming up after this!"

[John:] "Well first we have to see if Naja Mask has any new tricks up his sleeve. Marauder isn't the only one here who has a score to settle. Even though Naja and Nightmare did a lot of damage to him, further scarring his face and causing him to miss a few months of action, I get the feeling Naja actually is the one with more to prove."

[MJC:] "I could see that point of view. Naja is trying to prove that everything Orochi Geese has said about him is false. Geese said he was washed up and his career has been on the downturn since leaving the Japanese version of UBL. He's said that Naja was the albatross...err albasnake...around the neck of Marauder that dragged him down."

[John:] "You can't argue with the actual win/loss statistics that Geese used in his assessment. Naja got dominated in the Universal Championship and all his Battalion team wins came mainly thanks to Marauder or Nightmare. Everyone has always seen Marauder as the true strength of Snake Mountain but that perception has been more widespread now then before."

[MJC:] "Naja wants to show that he is as strong a force and can actually defeat Marauder. Considering how easily he was defeated in their match at the Battalion Finale, I'm not sure what Naja will do now. Has he trained more? I guess he has more experience against Marauder now and can put that to good use but I dunno, this is an uphill climb for him. I don't like him, I don't like what he's done. And I don't like what I think he might do. But if he wrestles this match legit, part of me at least empathizes with the fact he's the underdog...err undersnake in this situation and no one has given him a chance to win."

[John:] "You're enjoying the snake wordplay, aren't you."

[MJC:] "A little too much, I should stop."

[John:] "Well good time to as Naja is coming to the ring and doesn't look intimidated, so that's a start. Now unlike the last match, weapons actually ARE legal here. So Jean..."

[MJC:] "I knew what to expect when I signed up for this. I don't like it, but I know what's gonna happen."

[John:] "Then let's get to it."

[MJC:] "What a finish!"

[John:] "Marauder has studied momentum and physics for years and what we just saw is a result of his education. He smashed Naja in the corner and then used Naja's forward momentum to scoop him up for the "Centrifugal Silencer!"

[MJC:] "What you learn in school is useful in life, kids!"

[John:] "Provided you wrestle snake men."

[MJC:] "But you have to hand it to Naja here. I mean, not only did he prove he can hang with Marauder, he actually proceeded to dominate him for much of the match. Marauder rarely uses his "Particle Accelerator" so early in a match but due to the beating he was taking, he threw it out as a desperation manuever."

[MJC:] "Yeah I have to admit that Naja looked more legitimate here then in the past few years. Marauder got his final victory over Naja and a measure of revenge but Naja showed that he has his spirit back. To dominate and get so close to defeating one of the absolute best in UBL is really an accomplishment. Marauder has beaten Bak Fu, he's beaten Twinky McLanahan. He's been a former Battalion Champion. Hanging with Marauder means you're a threat."

[John:] "Both men did a very impressive job of fighting out of their opponent's signature moves. But in the end, the power of momentum truly belonged to Marauder.

[MJC:] "And shockingly, for the first time all night, a match ends without further incident! Guess there was enough violence IN the match to satisfy both men."


Marauder (O) ["Centrifugal Silencer" - 20:14] (X) Naja Mask



(Code: RN1-4C )


[John:] "And we turn back to the OG-Joshi promotion with a very important match."

[MJC:] "At the recent OG-Joshi Illumination PPV, Eris Byrne became our first Amplitude Champion. She went through a tourament where she defeated both of her rivals, Lina and Jenna Stone. However, during that tournament, Gutter's match with Jenna Stone was interrupted by Gutter's old enemy, Judy Bones. Jenna got the win and went onto to be defeated by Eris but Gutter got cheated out of her chance. She defeated Jenna Stone at an Amplitude after Illumination, earning herself a Title shot against Eris."

[John:] "Well that was a mouthful!"

[MJC:] "Well it all took place over 8 months so it should be!"

[John:] "So the first issue on everyone's minds is the health status of Gutter following the heinous attack perpetrated on her by Judy Bones. This attack actually followed Gutter's victory over Jenna Stone and took place outside the arena."

[MJC:] "Gutter had a concussion as a result and spent about two months in the hospital. The doctors cleared her to compete as did I, and she is ready. I do not believe that we'll see any physical signs of the attack."

[John:] "The implication being-"

[MJC:] "Oh, I didn't really mean to imply anything there. Just that she's back to perfect health, or whatever perfect health is for a pro wrestler!"

[John:] "I guess what I thought you were implying is that Gutter's mental status and focus on this match may have been compromised by Judy's attack and presence."

[MJC:] "It wasn't what I was getting at but you could have a point there. I did my best to keep Gutter's mind on this match but there's some real history between her and Judy. Gutter won't even tell me the extent and it's clear she's disturbed by it. But John, I really think that tonight she is fully concentrated on Eris and the Title. Did her preparation suffer a hit from Judy's attack? Probably. But tonight, right now, Gutter only has one focus in that ring. And that's to beat Eris."

[John:] "And you think she's capable of doing that?"

[MJC:] "She's capable of anything if she puts her mind to it. She's a very strong willed woman. But so is Eris. Can Gutter beat Eris? Absolutely. Will she do it tonight? That's up to each of them. Eris is not just the recent champion, she is also the holder of the longest undefeated streak for a singles wrestler in OG-Joshi. Longer then anyone, even the World Champion, Visper Karr. That isn't a feat to overlook. Beating Eris may be possible, and women like Lina and Jenna have gotten extremely close, but they haven't done it."

[John:] "Sounds like Eris is really the woman to beat right now in OG-Joshi."

[MJC:] "I think she could ease up on the sass-talk but when it comes to her actions in the ring, its hard to argue with her results or means. She is definitely putting that Amplitude Title on the map as a result of her accomplishments. But Gutter has a fight in her that can't be measured. You look in her eyes and you see it. And we're gonna be in for a heck of a match here tonight. Everyone knows that Gutter and I are close friends but I just want to see the best wrestler tonight emerge here provided they do it cleanly."

[John:] "And Gutter has come down to the ring and is getting ready. It must feel a little strange for her being back in that right after the attack at Amplitude."

[MJC:] "Judy's attacks on her weren't the first time she was jumped during or after a match. She had to fight off Cynthia San Martino in the past. Gutter can get back into the ring after an attack and refocus herself. I know she's there mentally tonight. She just needs to make the right decisions in the ring against a crafty Champion."

[John:] "And here comes Eris looking as arrogant as ever. But when you have the win streak and recent success she has, it's hard to be too angry at her attitude. Even if it does involve laughing for a full 30 seconds on the entrance ramp while showing off her Amplitude Title. Goddess of Chaos fits the bill here, Jean."

[MJC:] "Holly and Geese aren't too happy with her calling herself that but they haven't done anything to stop her. And given the recent losing streak of Holly, I don't think she'd want any of Eris right now."

[John:] "Well they've had enough problems the last few years."

[MJC:] "Got that right."

[John:] "Now, let's get to the ring and see who emerges from tonight as the Amplitude Champion!"

[MJC:] "Remember, this is actually the OG-Joshi main event of the evening. We're not being represented by Holly vs. Celes. This is our final match for the evening just like the World Championship is our final match of Night 2."

[John:] "You wasted no time in distancing yourself from tonight's main event."

[MJC:] "OG-Joshi is reprensented by the two women about to wrestle in the ring, not the two women who are going to upset all our stomachs later. So let's get to the ring and see the right way to compete in a wrestling ring."

[MJC:] "Wow."

[John:] "Now that was a Championship match."

[MJC:] "Indeed it was. My congratulations to Eris Byrne for this incredible victory. She has been having "Match of the Year" candidates all year long with Lina and Jenna and this one may have topped both."

[John:] "Gutter came so close to victory and showed so much resiliency but Eris' will to continue was just too much. And that Ravenstone - even though Gutter kicked out of it earlier on, it was just too much at the end."

[MJC:] "I will have to talk to Gutter about her uh...chair usage."

[John:] "It's my understanding that if you use a weapon outside of the ring in OG-Joshi, you don't get disqualified."

[MJC:] "That was a holdover rule from Celes' reign. And it's one I haven't expressly changed so I really can't hold Gutter responsible. But it's something I have to consider changing. And since it wasn't a post match attack, I won't punish Gutter for it. I just really need to do something about weapon usage in OG-Joshi. This was a wrestling match, not ninja fight. No offense to Kat Black, of course."

[John:] "You know, I'm not sure she's actually a ninja."

[MJC:] "You mean Mr. Figaro was lying?"

[John:] "It's refreshing doing commentary with you."

[MJC:] "Thanks!"

[John:] "And it was also refreshing watching that incredible match and seeing what OG-Joshi could do, at its best. It was a great change of pace from some of the earlier things we saw tonight."

[MJC:] "When the wrestlers of OG-Joshi compete for the right reasons, matches like this result. Thank you to both Eris and Lina for bringing a little "ROCK" to Ragnarok. And thanks to the great catering staff for making Ragnarok's "nog" this holiday season!"


Gutter (X) ["Ravenstone" - 26:45] (O) Eris Byrne



(Code: RN1-5C )


[John:] "And now it's time for the UBL to compete with OG-Joshi to show off its own Champions."

[MJC:] "It has a hard act to follow!"

[John:] "This match also has some more friction between the two wrestlers. Gutter and Eris really had no personal tension but Corey and Julian have been a bit more "firm" with each other in their language and actions. In fact, unlike Gutter and Eris, Corey and Julian have crossed paths in the ring a number of times."

[MJC:] "That is true. Their match at the September Circuit show ended in a draw. And then their triple threat match with Gene Starr at the October Open ended with JUlian Caesaro as the new NEXUS Champion."

[John:] "Corey came right back after that loss to win a Fatal four way with three other top contenders: Chuck Madrox, Kohi Keo'ke, and former Champion Gene Starr. But it wasn't just his behavior in the match but his intensity outside of it. He has made it completely clear that he won't quit til he is wearing that NEXUS Title around his waist."

[MJC:] "It's that attitude that made him a top contender and a favorite when the Universal Championship league returns. But tonight he has to defeat the reigning NEXUS Champion, Julian Caesaro. A man who actually defeated Orochi Geese in FPCPP a few months back. Geese had been trying to groom him to be his new student but Julian rejected his lesson plan and substituted one of his own."

[John:] "So Julian knows a thing or two about winning matches against wrestlers who focus on the head and neck like Corey O'Brian does"

[MJC:] "Julian has recently proclaimed his reign as a religion in UBL. That can't be sitting too well with all the 'heretics' who want to take him down. But I can't disgree with how impressive he is in the ring."

[John:] "The secret to Julian's success in the past has been his speed, the deceiving power of his kicks, and his ability to turn a match around at any time. But recently, he has shown a killer instinct AND an incredible resiliency. One we didn't know he had til his two matches with Corey. Julian has raised his game to become the best wrestler on the Reserve Roster."

[MJC:] "That's certainly what that NEXUS Championship belt represents."

[John:] "Julian's resiliency will go head on with Corey's patience. He doesn't mind driving his opponents into the mat repeatedly with high impact moves til it gets the job done."

[MJC:] "Corey also has one of the widest and most dangerous movesets in the UBL and that makes this match difficult for Julian. Because one of the keys to resiliency is knowledge. You have to know and prepare for what your opponent will throw at you. If Corey busts something out that Julian isn't familiar with, his resiliency won't be as strong. If you know the best way to land from a drop then you can stay in the match longer."

[John:] "Conversely, if Julian wants to change his strategy around, he is so fast that Corey may not have time to properly counter it. In fact, I still fondly remember the end of the second match between Julian and Juan Leche. That was where Julian, out of nowhere, blasted out a flying rebound pele kick and went right into the Dragon Pro Special submission. That was the match where we saw what Julian is capable of."

[MJC:] "I think that moment really put Julian on the map in UBL. Corey is agile for someone of his power but I don't know if he can prepare for the kind of dynamic offense that Julian has. But I also don't know if Julian's smaller body can truly absorb all the punishing suplexes and submissions Corey has."

[John:] "And that's why this match is so interesting on its own merits. But add in the most prestigious defended UBL singles title, the biggest show of the year, and you have the recipe for what is sure to be the hardest fought match from the Reserve roster in 2010."

[MJC:] "The crowd is getting pumped up for this too."

[John:] "Folks it looks like Corey is ready to come out to the ring."

[MJC:] "Well, someone is at least. Or...someones."

[John:] "I believe the men walking to the ring right now are Corey O'Brian's students from his Demolition Pro Wrestling dojo. They are coming out two by two on each side of the entrance."

Luke: "It's like Noah's Ark but without the animals and flood and pirates and seasickness."

[MJC:] "Pirates?"

Luke: "Dead Sea Scrolls are clearly pirate treasure, John. Davey Jones' locker. He was one of the Monkees, you know."

[John:] "...and getting back to the present day, Xander Starr has come out last."

[MJC:] "Not to be confused with Gene Starr or Xander Raines. Or Davey Jones."

[John:] "Xander starts stomping and clapping and the other students join in."

[MJC:] "The fans are really getting into this too. Wow! This sounds...oddly familiar."

[John:] "And the music is starting, it's "We will Rock you" by Queen."

[MJC:] "Ahh, there we go! The fans are going nuts here! And Corey has finally come out to ringside. Wow look how intense he is!! He's walking stoically down to the ring as his students hail him and Corey is READY."

[John:] "That man knows how to make an entrance. I'm surprised Drake allowed all of these guys to come down."

[MJC:] "Well it looks like they are going to the back now so Drake wouldn't have a problem with it."

[John:] "And it looks like Julian Caesaro does not want to be outdone by what we just saw."

[MJC:] "It sounds like church in here all of a sudden."

[John:] "There's a mild angelic hymm playing as the house lights bathe the arena in white gold. Perfectshawn Stevens comes down wearing a priest robe with a golden cup. The NEXUS Championship belt is in the cup."

[MJC:] "That's a big cup!"

[John:] "Shawn sets it down on the timekeepers table and then raises his arms high. The hymm picks up in volume and tempo until it stops and the lights go off. Five seconds pass and the lights come back on. Shawn is gone and Julian is standing in the ring with a white and gold robe with his back to Corey."

[MJC:] "Scary!"

[John:] "He flips the robe off and the music starts up again at the same second."

[MJC:] "He's really taking this Royal Saviour stuff seriously."

[John:] "Julian Caesaro has a very calm look on his face, almost angelic."

[MJC:] "But he may be hiding some devilish intentions."

[John:] "And Corey knows it. He hasn't let Julian's entrance throw him off."

[MJC:] "If anything, he looks even more intense then when he came out here. His stoic look is dialed up higher to the "DANGER" setting. And his body language shows he's just itching to get his hands on Julian, and especially his title. Sometimes a wrestler can just radiate energy and that is what Corey is doing right now."

[John:] "The theme of Julian vs. Geese was "Flash vs. Fury" and I think we're getting a little of that now too. However, the flash of Julian Caesaro tonight comes in the form of the flash of light in his entrance and the gleaming from his eyes."

[MJC:] "Well you can actually see his face now. Against Geese he was Dragon Royale and wore a mask. Here he just wears an expression of utter confidence and calm."

[John:] "There's no mask now, just the kind of expression that says: 'You will not take what is mine.' We're not seeing playful Julian, not even punk out Julian. No words here. Julian is just shaking his head while looking at Corey as if to say: "Bad move, O'Brian." Bad move to challenge this man who is forming his own cult of personality, his own religion, and his own legacy."

[MJC:] "This stand off is fiercer then some wrestling matches I've seen."

[John:] "But likely not the one we're about to see. Let's get to it! NEXUS Title!"

[MJC:] "I don't know how he fought back from that."

[John:] "Julian Caesaro somehow kicked out of both the "Core Meltdown" and the "Core Meltdown II". These are two moves that could seriously injure an opponent. That could end a career. These are two moves that are banned in some other promotions. And Julian kicked out of them both. I have no clue how he just did that."

[MJC:] "I'm not entirely sure if he knows either. And if you ask me, that school boy attempt may have been his own realization that he was in over his head. Julian did what he's done in the past and pulled a move out of nowhere at the right time, but he didn't take this victory in a dominant way. Rather, he got the heck out of Dodge!"

[John:] "He did what he had to do to win but there's a big difference between surprising Corey with a roll-up and using the Royale Intervention against Gene Starr in the middle of the ring. But we can't discount the fact that Julian may not have been thinking straight any longer. I mean, he just got dropped on his head multiple times during the match by those Core Meltdowns! He may have gone for that roll up out of instinct!"

[MJC:] "Yeah I agree. We can't take anything away from the miraculous strength of will and physical endurance it took to kick out of those moves and continue to fight at all. Corey had to be as shocked as anyone that Julian got up from that last Core Meltdown, and he may have let his guard down as a result. Whether Julian's roll-up was an escape plan or base physical instinct, Julian did what he had to do to win the match. And unless he was pulling the tights, which I didn't see from my vantage point, Julian won in a legitimate fashion."

[John:] "That's certainly true. He could have used a low blow or a thumb to the eye, but he ended that match cleanly even if it wasn't in a decisive fashion. Julian Caesaro is STILL the NEXUS Champion and he earned this victory through his resiliency and wrestler instinct."

Corey O'Brian (X) [School Boy - 14:52] (O) Julian Caesaro


[MJC:] "What a match. Corey has got to be a little thrown off by the fact he came up short here."

[John:] "And Julian Caesaro is gonna be thrown off tomorrow when he wakes up and his neck feels like Reed Richards'"

[MJC:] "Who?"

[John:] "Mr. Fantastic."

[MJC:] "Is...is he on the Front Lines?"

[John:] "Not a comic book reader, I take it."

[MJC:] "Just Heathcliff, John. That cat knows how to roll."

[John:] "An accidentally hip comment from Jean Carter."

[MJC:] "That was hip? I apologize to the parents for corrupting your kids vocabularies!"

[OrochiGeese]

(Code: RN1-6C )


[John:] "Speaking of upsetting your parents, we're now ready for the main event."

[MJC:] "And so the parents don't get upset over their children's nightmares, please put them to bed now before this next match. We have no guarantees of what will happen here. What we do know is that ANYTHING is legal aside from interference from other wrestlers. All holds are legal. All weapons are legal. All weapon-assisted strikes are legal."

[John:] "But the only way to win the match is to say "I quit".

[MJC:] "Right, even if a wrestler is knocked out, they can't lose the match. They have to be revived and have enough wits about them, even Holly, to say I quit."

[John:] "That means a wrestler can knock the other one out and then break their limbs before they wake up, leaving them with no sensible choice but to quit in the hopes of immediate medical attention."

[MJC:] "Yeesh, John. Quite an imagination on you!"

[John:] "Jean, I'd be lying if I hoped what I just said was the LIMIT of how far these two are gonna go. We both know what Holly is capable of and honestly it's far worse then what I just said."

[MJC:] "It's sick that you're right but you are. She's ended careers and crippled people. But she's facing someone who we really have no idea of her limitations. The former General Celes."

[John:] "And YOUR former mentor."

[MJC:] "That is true, John. I was her understudy, officially, in her office. Just as I was Drake's in UBL. I've seen Celes make a lot of hard decisions, do a lot of things that she has regretted. I wonder if tonight will be added to that list."

[John:] "So I take it you aren't exactly cheering her on in this match?"

[MJC:] "I don't want to see her get hurt. Let's just leave it at that."

[John:] "Well I hope the fans know that pride isn't the only thing on the line tonight."

[MJC:] "Even if the loser of this match emerges relatively healthy, she still has one more hurdle. Nicole Dramesi has promised to leave OG-Joshi alone if the loser of this encounter sacrifices herself to Nicole immediately following the match, as payment for what Holly did to Dizzy. What OG-Joshi 'let' happen, in her view. Which is why Celes is involved."

[John:] "And given what did happen to Dizzy, and how angry and destructive Nicole has been the last few years, it's as close to a guarantee as we can make that Nicole will be attempting to end that wrestler's career. So first you lose a grueling match with someone who's hated you for 5 years, and then you get destroyed by Nicole? What's next? Fall out of the ambulance on mountain road and end up crashing through a broken glass factory?"

[MJC:] "Hmph! I'd like to once again mention how OG-Joshi is not sponsoring this match. In fact, I even had our ring crew take the OG-Joshi logo off the mat. It's Geese arena so he can have this match take place wherever he wants but it's not under the OG-Joshi banner. As for me, I'm only here cause I need to see this for myself and Geese asked me to give my perspective."

[John:] "Surprising given your disdain for Holly. Now, what is your prediction?"

[MJC:] "Celes will win. She may have never stepped foot in the ring before as a wrestler but I've seen her fight people and she's practically untouchable. She's also strong as an ox. I mean, that time she punched Holly, it wasn't just strong - it was so focused and well placed. I've even seen her restrain Geese before. And since this isn't a standard match, i don't see her having problems with pro wrestling rules like Narai Kaeo sometimes does. No countouts here. Just beating an opponent til they quit. Simple enough. When you consider Holly has done her worst damage outside a match, she's not ready for this."

[John:] "While I don't have a preference, my prediction is that Holly wins. Even though she lost to Visper and Kat, her mind was on Celes the whole time. We've never seen Holly LOSE when she's as pumped up and angry as she is right now. And even if she doesn't know what Celes will bring, the determination of Holly will override it. She's too focused."

[MJC:] "It is true that she has beaten everyone she hates, when she has hated them the most. Holly didn't hate Visper or Kat. Or Jenny McLanahan in LAWL."

[John:] "And there's the fact that even when she has lost, she's never given up. She's never quit."

[MJC:] "But neither has Celes."

[John:] "She's never had the opportunity."

[MJC:] "Maybe not in the ring but we all have chances to quit in life. And Celes isn't a quitter. Holly has constantly taken the easy way out. Hurting Dizzy was taking the easy way out instead of beating Alicia Gordon. Threatening everyone with violence was Holly taking the easy way out instead of defending her Title against all comers. She may have never submit in that ring, but she has a weakness in her, John. A weakness that women like the Reed Sisters don't have. Or Visper Karr. Or Kat Black. Or Eris Byrne. Holly is weak inside and vulnerable. And celes isn't. Holly takes short-cuts. Celes doesn't. And in life, eventually you have to face up to the shortcuts you've taken. That happens tonight."

[John:] "Those are very bold words, Jean."

[MJC:] "I'm aware of that."

[John:] "Now would you care to provide a brief summary of why these two hate each other?"

[MJC:] "Frankly, I wouldn't as I dislike reflecting on it. But I'm here as a commentator and will do my job. Celes, Clyde, and Figaro came to Geese at his time of need. A time when he was lowest in his life. After Holly betrayed him and joined his enemy, Johnny Domino-"

[John:] "Not to be confused with Johnny Bingo."

[MJC:] "Holly's betrayal occurred in 2003 in Pro Wrestling Wild and it took months for Geese to cope with. Maybe even years. However, Celes and company came to him to help get his life and career back on track. And they did. After a while, Celes left but Clyde and Figaro remained as his bodyguards and friends. But then Holly came crawling back."

[John:] "And Geese accepted that?"

[MJC:] "Not at first but over time it was clear to him that Holly's return helped his career out. He became more aggressive in and out of the ring and saw more success. In fact, this was around the time that Geese began talking about "chaos" and as violent as he got, he also climbed the ladder in PW-W."

[John:] "ANd this was because of Holly?"

[MJC:] "Arguably. But Geese attributed a lot of his newfound success to her newfound business acument and aggressiveness. He also began supporting her in her feud with Jo Ryder. And the two became closer. Around this time, Geese also created OG-Joshi and Holly had a privileged position but still could not win the the Title from Dizzy."

[John:] "This was well before Holly hurt Dizzy, right?"

[MJC:] "Yeah, like two to three years before that incident. However, Holly was getting better and Geese knew it was only a matter of time before Holly would capture the title. He also knew that if she won it, it would hurt her legitimacy to have won it when she was in the front office of OG-Joshi. Luckily for Geese, Celes just happened to come back around this time. Unluckily for Geese. Celes HATED Holly."

[John:] "And that is because?"

[MJC:] "Celes hated Holly for her initial betrayal of Geese as well as her corrupting him and leading him to violence. These are really the two root causes between their years long rivalry. Geese was initially tolerant of Celes' advice but over time shut her out as he fell back in love with Holly. Things got even worse the last year when Geese took Clyde and Figaro's friendship for granted, and Celes called him on it."

[John:] "And then there was the professional aspect of Celes and Holly's hatred."

[MJC:] "Right. As soon as Celes made her return, and well before she and Geese had their falling out, Geese made her the "General" of OG-Joshi so that Holly would have to earn her Title by operating under someone who wasn't so friendly with her. That way Holly's eventual win would be seen as legitimate. In that time, Holly tried to outmanuerver, one-up, and corrupt Celes."

[John:] "And while she only succeeded a bit in those pursuits, she did win the OG-Joshi World Title and held onto it for a few years."

[MJC:] "And they clashed constantly for over 3 years. Finally it came to blows when Holly tried to attack Kat Black with a chair and Celes came to her aid by punching Holly in the stomach so hard that she threw up in the middle of the ring. Geese fired Celes on the spot. You gotta understand John - The one rule for being head of OG-Joshi, at least under Geese's ownership, is that you don't hurt Holly or put her in a position where she could be hurt."

[John:] "And Celes certainly broke that rule by punching her. Now, shortly after that fight, Celes and Holly set this match up. And folks, we're about ready for it."

[MJC:] "Celes is out first. No music, no fanfare. She's just walking to the ring in her traditional white and gold ensemble. The audience seems to be supporting her which Celes acknowledges but doesn't linger over. She looks pretty serious but not without her own swagger of confidence."

[John:] "Celes believes she's coming into this match from a position of strength."

[MJC:] "Well so does Holly. However, surprisingly, she also arriving without a formal entrance. That...wow."

[John:] "All business?"

[MJC:] "I guess. Usually she loves to make a big introduction but I don't see anything but determination on her face."

[John:] "She's wearng her Usual attire but her face tells a different story. She hasn't even stopped to jaw at fans. That's pretty shocking. Especially how they are getting in her face. Some even have signs that say: "I was there when Holly quit."

[MJC:] "Wonder how expensive those shirts are..."

[John:] "I just wonder why these two haven't tried to overwhelm the other with a strong entrance."

[MJC:] "Maybe both these two didn't think they could outdo the NEXUS Title intros!"

[John:] "Well I don't think they could have! But still, its pretty shocking to see such a spartan beginning for tonight's main event."

[MJC:] "And they're not wasting any time. They immediately have a stand off."

[John:] "Here we go!"


(Code: RN1-6M )



Match 6: "I Quit" Match: Robin "Holly" Walker vs. Celes

Holly and Celes are right up in each other's faces: Neither one blinks. Holly is mouthing to Celes, it looks like she's saying: "You're time here is done. And Celes has responded, "thankfully." Holly breaks the stare by spitting in Celes' face. Then she pushes her back and attempts a roundhouse kick but Celes ducks it then pushes Holly's leg further so she loses her balance and falls on the floor. Celes briefly puts Holly in a grounded armbar and and wipes the spit off her own face using Holly's shirt.

[MJC:] "Only fair."

Celes lets Holly up and pushes her back a few feet screaming: "Let's see why you're no longer Champion." Holly runs forward with a yakuza kick which Celes easily parries to the side. Holly uses that momentum to attempt a reverse lariat with her free leg but Celes ducks it. Holly hits her face on the mat and turns red with anger.

[MJC:] "Things aren't going so well for her and heck, even I get a little annoyed when I bang my nose."

[John:] "I doubt you challenge the door to an "I quit" match."

[MJC:] "I just put it in a keylock."

Holly lunges at Celes with a Thesz Press but Celes gets her knees up, falls backwards, and then kicks (think Ryu) Holly off of her. Holly ends up being flung into the post in "Tree of Woe" style. Celes admires her own handiwork and then ties Holly's legs up under the turnbuckle. Then she goes outside and grabs a microphone.

[Celes:] "This is your first chance. Maybe the blood rushing to your head will make you think rationally for once. Do you quit?"

She holds the mic up to Holly's upside down face.

[Celes:] "Ask Geese how much I enjoy being upside down, bitch! You gonna 69 me too!?"

Holly frees her legs and bicycle kicks the mic out of Celes' hands. Holly then returns to standing position after a handstand and tries to back elbow Celes in the face, but Celes ducks then pushes Holly face first into the turnbuckle, where her head rests on the top pad.

[John:] "Holly looks to have hit the turnbuckle pretty hard there."

[MJC:] "No, she's doing something. Oh gawd, she's taking the padding off the buckle!"

Celes waits patiently for Holly to be done and then lifts her arms as if to say: "so what?" Holly turns and quickly lunges for Celes' legs, actually tripping her up. She then falls backwards sending Celes flying through the air into the post-"

[MJC:] "Oh no!"

But Celes catches the two ropes surrounding the exposed metal buckle and does a handstand."

[John:] "Wow. I've never seen anyone do that before. What kind of strength does this woman have?"

[MJC:] "Mental strength - a whole lot. Apparently she has as much physical."

Holly runs for another Yakuza kick to Celes' upside face, but Celes uses her own momentum and arms to send herself over the kick and behind Holly. Then she grabs Holly by the hair and swings her across the ring. Holly gets sent rolling under the ropes and lands on her feet on the arena floor. Celes once again picking up the microphone.

[Celes:] "You will not land one real attack. This is futile. You have only two legitimate options: Quit now or start to listen to what I have to say."

Holly grabs a chair on the outside and throws it at Celes who catches it midair, unfolds it, and sits on it.

[Celes:] "Thank you. I suspect this will take a while and I appreciate the consideration."

Holly is breathing heavy due to her increased anger and starts pounding on the ring apron.

[Celes:] "It's not going to quit either, Miss Walker. But at least you have proven your superiority over one thing tonight. Pity that will be your only victory."

Holly grabs the metal ring bell off the time keeper's table and also a stray wire from under the ring. She wraps the wire around the ring bell so as if to form a 'morning star' style whip. Then she gets into the ring while Celes is still sitting there. Celes has her hands on the seat and as soon as Holly goes to swing the whip, Celes vaults off the chair and over the ring bell which Holly swung. She lands behind the chair and then picks it up as a shield against the whip. Holly shortens the slack of the whip and just starts screaming and banging the bell against the chair over and over again until she gets tired. She drops the whip apparatus and Celes drops the chair, obviously unharmed by this futile assault.

Holly then quickly throws the ring bell at Celes who is forced to raise her hands to block it. Holly uses the opportunity to go in for a double leg tackle which she manages to execute. The bell lands near the floor and Holly picks it up. She goes to slam it on Celes' head, Mongorian Chop style, but Celes punches it out of Holly's arms and into her own face. Holly rolls over and is bleeding from the mouth. Celes favors her hands a bit from the punch but shakes it out and seems fine.

[John:] "I'm having serious doubts as to the vulnerability of Celes."

[MJC:] "I've seen Figaro do stuff like this before but wow."

[John:] "It takes great concentration to focus one's body like that so it doesn't hurt."

Holly once again rolls to the outside to get a towel which she places on her mouth to stop the bleeding. Celes grabs the microphone.

[Celes:] "Enough is enough. Just listen to what I have to say and we can end this. You can't continue your strategy in this match or in life. It may seem to give you short term success but it always ends in your own destruction. There are always bigger dogs in the fight. People who will do things you won't and that you don't expect. The Nicole Dramesis of this world will always catch up to you because violence begets violence. And just like you have run into a brick wall against me, you have no other choices in your life. There is nothing you can do to win the wars you have started, Robin. You have to bow out gracefully and ask for forgiveness. Raising the stakes only puts you against impossible odds and puts your loved ones at risk."

Holly grabs a microphone and even though blood is still dripping from her mouth, a smile has formed too.

[Holly:] "Impossible odds for the unimaginative. And the difference between my loved ones and yours, Celes..."

Holly runs over to the commentary booth with Jean in her field of vision.

[MJC:] "Uh..."

[Holly:] "Is that mine aren't f'n stupid enough to come out here unarmed!"

Holly slides onto the commentary table and grabs Jean by the head. She hoists both of them up on top of the table. Then she kicks Jean in the stomach and grabs her in a front headlock as if she was going to DDT her on the table. Celes runs to to stop her but Holly still has her microphone.

[John:] "Oh no. Not Jean!"

[Holly:] "Don't move, Celes! I swear I'll crush this fucking cupcake's creamy skull on this table. It's gonna be Dizzy all over again. You move, the chump gets it. Still think I'm up against impossible odds? Not if you change the rules of the game. You keep that microphone pressed against your lips. Cause in just a few seconds, you're gonna say those two magical words. Or else OG-Joshi needs a new General...again."

Jean is clawing at Holly's back and Holly laughs.

[Holly:] "Oh you must be a demon in the sack, Jean. Keep fighting, baby!"

[Celes:] "You will release her."

[Holly:] "Not cause of failed Jedi mind tricks. But I won't DDT her. I'm gonna give this loser the lunch she deserves unless you give up RIGHT NOW."

Holly lets go of the facelock and manuervers her hands on either side of Jean's head.

[John:] "I...I think she's going for the Loser's Lunch, a jumping face buster, on the table."

Suddenly two pieces of metal shoot from under the ring onto Holly's feet. They appear to be clamps. Holly looks shocked and tries to jump but can't. She can't even fall down.

[Celes:] "You're strategy is unsurprising. You think I'd even let Jean come out here if I thought she'd be in any real danger from you?"

Clyde jumps onto the table and frees Jean from Holly's grasp. Jean runs into the ring with a slight hobble due to the kick to her stomach."

[Holly:] "Hey! No interference!"

[Celes:] "You have not been attacked. Merely restrained. Your aggression against Coach is against the rules and she has a right to defend herself, by proxy through us. In this respect she is no differen then any other audience member."

Holly tries to undo her clamps and finally manages to slip out of them. As she does, Celes frowns.

[Holly:] "Ha! They couldn't hold me!"

Celes still frowns but her eye contact is with something behind Holly.

[Celes:] "Like I said, there are always bigger dogs in the fight."

Holly looks confused and suddenly a arm shoots out in front of her and wraps around her neck.

[John:] "I can't believe this! It's Ruby Moreno! She just popped out of the crowd and has a rear chokehold around Holly's throat!"

[Celes:] "Violence only begets violence."

[Holly:] "What...what the fuck you want, Moreno?"

Geese and Kyle run out to rungside but Ruby sees them and draws a knife that she places near Holly's throat.

[Celes:] "Geese, keep back. You have no experience in these situations. If you do something rash, Holly will get hurt."

[Ruby:] "First off - Carter, you owe me one. I was gonna help you but the ninja got to you first."

[Celes:] "Enough Moreno. Now listen to me. You do not want to do anything rash."

[Ruby:] "You're in no position to give me orders. But I'm a reasonable, fair woman and I respect your initial claim to Holly's humiliation. I simply want to help."

[Celes:] "You can start by taking the knife away and releasing the hold. This isn't your fight."

[Ruby:] "Ha - I do suppose she can't be understood to verbally quit if I slit her throat."

[Celes:] "Ruby...I was the first one down to try to help Jeff Monroe. I understand your anger and your pain. Don't add to it here."

[Ruby:] "My plans are grander then just this moment. Fortunately you are dealing with someone of great vision. I'm not a thug like she, her brother, and Geese are. My revenge will not come simply from violence. And so, I will hand you back your opponent after I've finished choking my name into her... destiny."

[Celes:] "The only rule for this match is that a wrestler can't lose by interference from someone else. Your participation here has been minimal. But if you do anything else to Robin then this match is over. No humiliation of her. No victory of mine. And Nicole Dramesi does not get her payment. I am left with no gain in the situation. If you want this done, you have to let me do it. Otherwise...you and I have a problem."

[Ruby:] "If you're making a threat, you're bluffing. You have no cards."

[Celes:] "But I can show the world yours. Tell us about Destiny, Ruby. Your secret way of life. Your overseas contacts. Old friends of your family."

Ruby's face begins turning red and she starts to stammer.

[Ruby:] "Ok, STOP. Enough. I'll go...for now. Just see to it you leave her with nothing. Not a shred of dignity or self-respect."

[Celes:] "Please leave the arena through the proper gates."

Ruby smirks.

[Ruby:] "My pleasure. This place reeks of failure. Oh and 'Coach', say hello for me to your roster. I so do enjoy Orochi-O's TV."

Ruby winks at Jean who turns completely pale. Then Ruby relinquishes the hold on Holly. At that very instant, Genji Security swarm from the entrance to surround Ruby. However, the people in the crowd around Ruby gather around her and we see that their black jackets say: "GAUNTLET Security". As soon as Agent 0 sees this, he quickly orders his men back. Gauntlet and Ruby leaves untouched. Agent 0 then sends his men under the ring. A few minutes later they emerge empty handed and quickly go backstage with Agent 0 who, for once, actually appears nervous. Geese looks back at Holly who nods for him and Kyle to go with Agent 0 who is urging Geese to walk with him.

Meanwhile, Luke Kisiera has run out to be near Jean in the ring. She looks shaken but admirably is keeping herself together. He immediately hugs her and walks her backstage with Marauder who has come out as well. Holly is on the floor, still holding her throat and trying to catch her breath. She looks at Celes in shocked desperation, almost ignoring the anger she had towards her before Ruby came out.

[Holly:] "She...she almost...she could have killed me!"

[Celes:] "Robin, I think it's time you and I had a talk. I just saved your life, after all. And unless you plan to attack any other innocent people, only to be attacked by someone else you angered, you really have no other option. What just happened to you was a result of Geese and your actions towards Jeff Monroe. But I can count on more then one hand how many others want revenge on you. You have no idea how many in this arena do at this very moment. As ridiculous as you may think it, the safest place to be is in this ring with ME. Nicole is waiting backstage, patiently, for her chance. It is time to show you exactly WHY, in the hopes that you can stop this cycle of violence."

Holly gets into the ring. Her body is still shaking but she looks at Celes as if she has no idea what to say.

[Celes:] "You've said enough for the next ten years. Now sit down and for once, LISTEN."

Celes unfolds the chair from before and Holly takes a seat. She's favoring her throat.

[Celes:] "I didn't come here to hurt you. I've already made that clear through my words and, more importantly, my actions. I've had ample opportunities to finish you off tonight. You fight recklessly and I simply have seen more battles then you. You've beaten more opponents by their shock at your spirit and resiliency then through your skills. Visper, Haley, Kat. They could have gotten some shots in on me. But you could never do so. That is the truth. Because my spirit AND skills are so much greater then yours. However, I do admire your will. If you would use that for the right reasons, you could truly be a force in this world. But all you have been for the last five years...is a filthy parasite."

Celes points to the Orochi-Tron which turns on and shows video of an old match. The ring has a PW-W logo and we see a much younger (and brown haired) Orochi Geese facing off with someone in red and white stripes. Then we see Holly running into the ring and kicking Geese in the nards. The other man pins Geese and Holly spits in Geese's face before walking away with the other man. Holly starts to get pale as she sees this footage and mouths "I'm sorry Geese."

[Celes:] "Ah yes, sorry. How many times have you told Geese that? How many times did it take for him to believe you? All because of Johnny Domino and your betrayal. That scene we just witnessed was the entire reason I came here to begin with. This was in 2003, Robin. How have you grown since then? What influence have you had on the world?"

Celes points to the Orochi-Tron again and we see the attack on Dizzy by Juli Krieger, Sandy Morton, and Linda Parker. We see audience, and Jean Carter, in utter shock and with tears in their eyes. We then see a picture of Dizzy in the hospital unconscious and pale.

[Celes:] "You came sickeningly close to taking a life. Even if it wasn't by your hands, it was by your design. Dizzy survived but her career and spirit did not. You killed her good nature, the sporit of one of the bravest and positive wrestlers I ever knew. And you almost just did the same thing to Jean Carter, a total innocent, moments ago. In doing so, I can guarantee you made even more enemies. Enemies that could come back to haunt you or those you love. You put so many in danger by your actions, Robin. Those you love most. You hold their careers, their happiness, and their lives hostage by your immaturity."

Celes points to the screen again and we see Jeremiah Jones attacking Kyle. Holly gets further pale as Celes shows 'lowlights' from the first two matches that Kyle and Jones had, especially the hardcore match where Jones send Kyle to the hospital. Tears start rolling down Holly's face as she sees the promo Kyle cuts while in the hospital against Jones.

[Holly:] "Stop, enough."

[Celes:] "Not even close to enough."

The screen then shows Kyle's massacre of Jones with the staple-attached bat in their third match. The video focuses on Kyle's crazed satisfied expression. And then it shows Jeremiah Jones in the hospital, his cheek bones utterly crushed. His girlfriend, Dizzy, in a wheelchair with a blank expression looking at him.*

[Celes:] "Quite a team your brother and you are. But the worst is always yet to come, Robin. And in this next scene, you at least show some promise in wanting to stop it."

The screen shows Kyle's recent hospital promo threatening to kill Clyde, Figaro and Celes. It also shows Holly coming in to try to calm Kyle down but to no avail. At this, Holly starts crying rather forcefully.

[Celes:] "Can you blame him for his behavior? You are his role model and all you've shown him is that violence is justified. How can you get him to calm down after he saw all you have done. This is the example you have set and he has followed it to a tee. He wanted to be just like his big sister and her boyfriend. Violent, irrational, and dangerous. A chip off the old Walker and Orochi Army block."

[Holly:] "It's not his fault, ok? It's mine. I know that. I already knew that before tonight. Why do you think Drake announced that Tag Title match before Ragnarok? So we could get Kyle refocused after tomorrow night is over over. More wrestling, less violence."

[Celes:] "It's too late. He cares far more about the latter then the former. And it IS partially his fault. No matter what he has learned from you, he must take responsibility for his actions. Unfortunately, he loves the destruction he has wrought. In some ways he's far worse then you. He has a hair trigger and someone he feels he has to protect. Someone who keeps getting herself into situations where she needs protection because of who she has hurt. Kyle's work will never be done as long as you actions continue. YOU are the reason he has turned out this way and your continued violence means his work will never be done. You'll always have new enemies for him to stalk. How can it ever end well?"

[Holly:] "I never told him to do this."

[Celes:] "You put him in danger and all that come after you. Eventually, the entire world of OG-Joshi and UBL will fall because violence begets violence. Kyle will get hurt, you will get hurt, Geese will get hurt. And lives will be ruined. All because of your selfishness and your need to show you are no longer weak."

[Holly:] "I'm NOT weak. The fact I'm still here after what Jo Ryder did to me shows it."

Celes goes right up to Holly's face.

[Celes:] "Your will to continue isn't weak. But the way you did it, the way you compensate is. We all have moments of weakness, Robin. I've had them too. But to become a scourge to the world to pay it back for your past troubles is the greatest weakness of all. Because YOU can't handle your past, the unfairness of the world, some may not have a future. And that means its you YOU making the world unfair for them. It's you who became Jo Ryder to so many other wrestlers and people in your life. The cycle of abuse and violence continued."

Celes points to the Tron and we see Alicia Gordon from earlier tonight hurting Haley.

[Celes:] "You failed to break Alicia's body but you destroyed her mind. She hates you as much as you hate Jo Ryder. She will now treat the world the same way you do, with contempt."

Then she shows a picture of Holly and Kyle when they were young. They are smiling and eating ice cream. Then we see a split picture of Holly's laughter after Dizzy's injury and a blood-soaked, maniacal Kyle after beating Jeremiah Jones. We go back to the picture of them when they were young as Holly starts crying."

[Celes:] "Why must you sentence these children's futures to pain and suffering? Along with so many others. Why can't you turn your life around? Truly forgive Jo Ryder. Forgive your parents. Forgive all those who have doubted or slighted you. And forgive yourself for not being strong enough to move past it. Robin, I know there is good in you but it is surrounded and controlled by your weakness. If you can admit it and start moving forward, if you can show true remorse, you can turn your world around. You can even do some good. The Robin Walker who first met Jo Ryder wanted to do great things. You wanted to be a scientist, a business woman who didn't cut throats. You wanted to make the world better."

[Holly:] "It's...it's too late."

The Orochi Tron shows Kyle and Geese's frightened faces from just a few minutes ago when Ruby held Holly prone. Holly finally breaks down uncontrollably sobbing.

[Celes:] "It wasn't too late THEN, it's not too late now. It's close, but you still have a chance. If it was too late, Ruby would have finished you off minutes ago right in front of Geese and your brother. And that would have been too late for all three of you. That's the definition of too late, when it's outside your control. But this you have a say in."

Holly can barely breathe cause of how hard she is crying.

[Celes:] "It's not too late. I know there is good in you, and in Geese too, and that is why I am so disappointed with the path you have chosen. But I know deep down you are unhappy and have been that way for a long time. Even winning the World Title wasn't enough because it simply reminded you of what you used to be and all who took advantage of you. So you wanted to get even with the world. And you wanted to make sure you were never seen as weak again, no matter who you hurt in the process. But in doing so, you lost the part of you that cared to begin with. Bring that back. For you, for your family, and for all the innocents that have been caught up in the wars you have started. Robin Walker may never have been a Champion, but she was a good person. A good person who had bad things happen to her that wasn't her fault. Holly is a cold, remorseless bitch who has ruined lives. Who do you want to tell your children that their mother is? If you even get to that point."

[Holly:] "What do you want me to do?"

[Celes:] "Quit this lifestyle. Apologize to those of who wronged. If you can truly show remorse, I will face Nicole Dramesi with you. I will even fight for your health because I do not believe the right answer to Nicole's mission is your destruction. Justice for Dizzy isn't taking another career and ruining another body. That would only lead your brother to take revenge on her and the cycle to continue."

[Holly:] "Why are you even doing this?"

[Celes:] "To help you get on with your life as I tried to help Geese. Because I realize, as much as I didn't like you or the things you have done, Geese and you are meant to be together and you two need to turn your lives around. This is my final gift to him even if he won't believe it. But I know right now, part of you does."

[Holly:] "What about Moreno...she almost killed me. She's not gonna stop."

[Celes:] "I can't promise you'll be safe from her but I know getting even won't make things better. You'll have to convince Kyle and Geese of that. You are right to be concerned about Moreno but if you defend yourselves for the right reasons, you will have friends who can protect you. But you, Kyle, and Geese have to be on the same page."

[Holly:] "Geese...can he change?"

[Celes:] "He will change. But it might be a lot more painful then your journey now."

[Holly:] "You mean...Clyde and Figaro?"

[Celes:] "That's not what I mean at all."

[Holly:] "You promise to tell him what you mean...and I'll quit now. I'll change. But if he and I can't be together peacefully, then it's not worth it."

[Celes:] "Deal. I'll speak with him tomorrow. Clyde, Figaro, and I will put him on the right path. You have my word. Now let's have yours."

Celes holds the microphone up to Holly's mouth. And with no hesitation...

[Holly:] "I quit."

*The bell rings (a new bell that was given to the timekeeper!) and Celes is announced as the winner of the match. But neither Celes or Holly acknowledge it.*


[Celes:] "I will stand with you now to protect your chance of redemption from Nicole."

[Holly:] "Just please help Geese...like you helped me."

[Celes:] "I will do my best. Clyde and Figaro will not badly hurt him or your brother tomorrow. But please realize they will defend themselves if Kyle tries to make good on his promise to mortally wound them. And at some point, you will have to get your brother on the right track again. Before worse can be done. That means being honest with yourself when you look him in the eyes and see true instability. True potential for violent crime. I'm not just talking about a chair attack outside a wrestling ring. Your brother is beyond that."

[Holly:] "I...he's gonna be ok, Celes."

[Celes:] "You better make that certain. Now, Nicole should be here soon. I suggest you get ready. I will try to speak with her rationally but you may still need to...be alert. She is a different beast then you are and I will not have the same time to make her see my point of view. If you get in trouble, run. I didn't spend the last half hour preaching to someone who ends up in the hospital. I will take responsibility to her for your departure. I lied to her about handing you over if you lose and I will face that fact with her."

[Holly:] "I'm not running. You stand up for me, and I'll stand up for you. I won't let you get hurt just for giving me a second chance."

Celes nods

[Celes:] "I guess I wasn't wrong to give you one then."


*The Orochi Tron turns on once again and we see backstage where Nicole Dramesi is stalking through the hallway with a grin on her face. As she turns a corner to enter the hallway with the curtain leading to the arena, she sees Orochi Geese.*

[Geese:] "Celes' psycho-babble and manipulation will not make you stand down. And it won't prevent me from doing what I need to stop you. Dramesi, I have heard of your feats but you have not faced me. And tonight with the stakes as they are, you stand no chance. Your mission is now over and Holly will be unharmed. Stand down. You don't merely face the Emperor or the Kaiser of Chaos, but the raging ferocity of instinct itself."

*Nicole shakes her head in the negative and begins to approach. Geese smiles and reaches into his pocket, pulling out a vial of red liquid. But Nicole is surprisingly quicker and lunges forward, crushing the vial with a kick. However, from the darkness behind the cameras, Kyle Walker leaps onto Nicole's back and STABS her neck with a hypodermic needle. Nicole grunts and throws Kyle off but finally, she appears woozy and drops to one knee. Kyle runs and hits her with a P'd off K and a combination of that and the needle's contents causes her to lose consciousness. Genji Security quickly converge on the scene.*

[Geese:] "Schassberg creation number 3 worked as advertised."

*Geese nods to Kyle who runs through the curtain and gets into the ring. He attempts to attack Celes but Holly stops him by hugging him. Before Kyle can do anything else, Clyde and Figaro emerge from the crowd to back up Celes. Finally Kyle helps Holly backstage but she's upset about what has just happened with Nicole. As we see them walking through the hallway where Geese has remained, Genji Security is removing Nicole, who is now in handcuffs. Holly looks at Geese who kisses her gently on the forehead then tells Kyle to bring her back to the locker room. Geese looks down at the downed Nicole Dramesi and then at the camera to the audience, specifically at Celes who is standing in the ring.*

[Geese:] "Your victory tonight is meaningless. The true end lies...beyond chaos."


*Night 1 ends as Geese laughs while Celes, Clyde, and Figaro stand in the ring looking defiant.*
