Revolution Results: September 1st

Alecia Matthews: Welcome back everybody to… well I guess it’s the first Revolution of the Trace Demon era.


Samael Ahriman: Doesn’t that just sicken you to say?


Alecia Matthews: I’m going to avoid insulting the new boss for as long as possible. Instead let’s focus on the upcoming match between two newcomers to the WFWF who’ve yet to taste victory, Ace Andrews and Beau Bowens.


Samael Ahriman: Both have showed talent but neither have really capitalised and whoever loses tonight might not have another shot.


Beau Bowens vs. Ace Andrews
Despite his poor start to his WFWF career Ace Andrews came into this one full of confidence and vigour and put that straight to work against the gothic styling of Beau Bowens. The match was a tense affair, both men showing themselves to be more than capable and proving exactly why it was felt they deserved a second opportunity. Despite that it was the experience of Ace Andrews that proved the difference maker, Ace using dirty tricks to take control of the match and eventually counter a crossbody with a spectacular Triple 7 to pick up the victory.
Winner: Ace Andrews


Alecia Matthews: Ace Andrews picks up his first victory here in the WFWF, and that win could give his momentum a big boost.


Samael Ahriman: It’s certainly a big victory, and that’ll do him the world of good as we head towards Scars & Stripes where everyone has a shot at earning a World Championship shot.


Alecia Matthews: And that does mean everyone, from veterans like Thunder and Shawn Malakai all the way down to newcomers such as Ace Andrews and the man who is about to make his debut, Dex.


Samael Ahriman: But before we get to his in-ring debut first we’re actually going to get some words from the man himself, recorded earlier tonight, and let me tell you this guy is weird.


The arena goes dark as footage begins to play on the WFWF big screen. The footage seems as if it's Dex. His site is completely unknown, it seems that he's somewhere inside the arena, but even that is quite unknown.


Dex: I sit here alone in solitude, addressing the millions of worthless beings before me. For what? I'm not even quite sure myself, I've been told by the voices that I need to begin to grow a liking towards these humans. The voices always tell me what to do. The voices have never been wrong. They've gotten me here to the WFWF. But this is where I feel they're wrong. I do not need simple beings like human's that disgrace this very earth to like me. I simply do not care. I wish for them to all die. For them to all die and pain and vain, suffocating. I want to make that clear, I'm not like and I do not want to even be a tiny bit like any of you ignorant pathetic beings. But, I just don't get it. Why am I here? Is it because I was simply a tool by God to destroy this wasteland and send them all to hell? Or what. I hear them; the voice's, they're speaking to me now. I must go.


Dex stand's up and begins to leave the area. The light's go back on and the footage suddenly stop's as the tron begin's to turn staticy. Until the backstage crew eventually shut it off.


Samael Ahriman: What did I tell you, weirdo.


Alecia Matthews: Well weird or not it’s what Dex can do in the ring that matters, and he’s got a big challenge ahead of him as he faces off with big bad Beast Kahn.


Beast Kahn vs. Dex
There was a serious difference in size between these two men but you try telling Dex that, the crazy as hell (or should that be heaven) newcomer going right after Kahn without even noticing the fact he was dwarfed by the big beast of a man. Kahn was intent to throw Dex around the ring and bully the rookie but the Fallen Madman used his speed and nimbleness to counter a lot that Kahn threw at him and then mixed in his technical abilities to actually take the fight straight to Kahn. The Beast from the East didn’t make things easy for him but in the end a surprising kick to the back of the head was followed by the God’s Favourite Stunner giving Dex the upset victory upon his debut.
Winner: Dex


Alecia Matthews: A huge win for the newcomer, and one that I don’t think anybody expected him to pick up.


Samael Ahriman: We’ve seen Kahn pick apart people like Ace Andrews with ease, but he just couldn’t match the speed of Dex here tonight.


And on the sight of Dex praying to the sky, and the crowd wondering what the hell he’s doing, Revolution heads to a heaven-sent commercial. See what we did there?

As we return from commercial we head backstage to a plush looking office. Inside are the owner of the WFWF, International Champion Trace Demon, and the newly announced general manager Jason Anders. Anders is testing out a large seat behind an even larger desk, the weasel-esque legal consultant for the King of Demons clearly enjoying his newfound status here in the WFWF.


Jason Anders: I could get used to this Trace, I really could.


Trace Demon: Well you’d better get used to it quickly Anders, you’re running things now, I don’t expect to have to deal with any crap during a show other than my own.


Jason Anders: I guarantee you won’t be bothered in the-


He goes quiet as the door opens and in walks Penny Shannon, looking less than happy just a short time away from her main event clash against her best friend, tag team partner and the WFWF World Champion Scarlett Quinn.


Penny Shannon: You wanted to see me?


Trace Demon: I did, I wanted to thank you for your assistance at Battleground and to prove to you that despite what you and all these idiots might think, there’s no hard feelings here.


And with that Trace offers his hand out to Penny, a respectful gesture that doesn’t really fit the style of the International Champion. Penny looks at him, considers her options, and then dramatically slaps his hand away.


Penny Shannon: You seriously think I’m going to shake your hand? Are you that deluded? You threated me, you threatened Scarlett, you used her to make sure I helped you and now you think you’ve got the right to say there’s no hard feelings? You’re twisted Trace, but you’re not stupid.


Trace Demon: You’re right, I’m not stupid, but clearly you are. I offered you an out, I offered you peace, a chance to get out of the way and let what has to happen just happen. You don’t want that, fine, but don’t you think for one second that I won’t crush you like the insignificant little obstacle that you are.


Penny Shannon: I’ll stop you myself if I have to, I won’t let you hurt Scarlett.


That signature twisted smirk slowly drifts across Trace’s face as he looks at Penny. She might be standing up to him, might be strong, but she’s visibly nervous. She knows that Trace gets under her skin and there’s nothing she can do about it.


Trace Demon: You talk like you’ve got a choice.


The two of them stair each other down while Jason Anders watches from his seat, uncomfortable with the entire situation. Penny turns and storms out, leaving Jason to breath a sigh of relief as if he’s been holding his breath this entire time. Trace watches her go, shaking his head in disappointment.


Trace Demon: This is tragic.


Jason Anders: What is?


Trace Demon: That such a talented girl’s career is going to end so soon after it began.


And with those parting words Trace Demon rises and also makes his departure, leaving Jason Anders in the office on his own. He looks concerned as it dawns on him exactly who he’s going to be general managing as Revolution heads back to the ring.


Alecia Matthews: Well things are already getting interesting with Trace Demon at the helm and we’ve still got some huge, and very interesting, matches to go.


Samael Ahriman: Like this next one, which pits two men who were successful in tag team action at Battleground against each other.


Alecia Matthews: Ace Bennett and Thunder, two men looking to get their careers back on track. They might have gained victory as a team but up next only one of them will walk away with the big W.


Samael Ahriman: Warthogs?


Alecia Matthews: You’re an idiot.


Thunder vs. Ace Bennett
This was a battle between two of the more experienced members of the current WFWF roster and that showed in how strategic it was. Both men had a gameplan and they executed it as expertly as is possible when another man is trying to tear it apart. It was a close affair, a back and forth opening turning into a match full of big moves, momentum turnarounds and plenty of near falls that kept the fans on the edge of their seats and prove that no matter what anyone might have thought when these two made their respective returns they both indeed still have it. With both men tiring and trying to hit the big finish it was Ace Bennett who shocked everyone as he took control and soon hit the Syracuse Drop to pick up the momentous victory.
Winner: Ace Bennett


Alecia Matthews: A huge victory for Ace Bennett here tonight, he’ll be a definite contender for Scars & Stripes.


Samael Ahriman: Both of these men will, there’s not many who can put on a match like that.


As the fans give a mixed reaction for Bennett, they still don’t know how to treat him after his actions the last time he was here, Ace throws his hands up, ecstastic to continue his winning ways upon his return as the WFWF goes to another set of commercials, cause we’ve got to pay the electric bills.

Samael Ahriman: It's just not right. It's J-A-S-O-N, all I'm saying is there's no need to throw a... oh we're back. Up next Joe Bishop, who stood tall at the end of Battleground, defends his newly acquired National Championship against Jayson Garrett in what is sure to be one hell of a match.


Christa Adina: The following match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the WFWF National Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, from Sacramento CA, 'The Golden Boy' Jayson Garrett!


Alecia Matthews: Garrett of course defeated Andrew Carter and Beau Bowens at Battleground to earn this opportunity. This is a huge opportunity for him is it not?


Samael Ahriman: Of course it is. Being an established movie star is both a blessing and a curse for Garrett. He's already got that fan base, but instantly people are going to question whether or not he belongs in that ring. Nights like this are going to be huge if that man wants to prove that he belongs in a WFWF ring.


'Don't Stop' hits over the loudspeakers as the number one contender to the National Championship, Jayson Garrett, bursts out of the curtain, Garrett raises his arms screaming 'Next National Champion' as he does so. 'The Golden Boy' makes his way to the ring, stopping to talk to the 'flavour of the month' celebrities in attendance. Garrett eventually makes his way into the ring, he begins screaming to the crowd “I AM GOLDEN!”, repeating it two or three times before being cut off by the opening of 'Hell March'.


Alecia Matthews: Bishop stood tall at the end of that crazy brawl that ended Battleground, how are your teeth by the way Sammy?, but if he wants to keep the momentum going in to Scars & Stripes he can't afford a loss tonight. This one really is finely poised.


At the top of the stage appears the National Champion Joe Bishop, who holds the title high in the air not taking his eyes off the challenger as he does so. Bishop walks down the ramp, completely focused on Garrett as he slides into the ring, flames shoot from the four ring posts and Bishop once again lifts the National Championship, this time in front of the face of the cocky Garrett.


Samael Ahriman: Bishop and Garrett, two of the brightest young stars in the WFWF today lock eyes in the middle of that ring, this one should be interesting.


The two stand eye to eye for a few moments, Bishop still has the championship raised high in the air with a look of contempt on his face. The cocky Garrett smiles as he meets the National Champion in the centre of the ring, the confident, almost arrogant, Hollywood star already looks to be getting under the skin of his opponent. The referee has the two separate for a moment as he takes the belt from Bishop, raises it high in the air, displays it and then passes it outside the ring. The bell rings and the National Championship match gets under way.


Alecia Matthews: Here we go!


The two move back towards each other but before anything can be said Garrett slaps Bishop round the face, the National Champion's head jerks back as fans in the cheap seats flinch. 'The Golden Boy' still has the cocky grin on his face as Bishop turns back towards him, but not for long, Bishop tackles Garrett to the mat and unloads with a series of lefts and rights to the face of the challenger who doesn't have much of a chance to protect himself from the blows.


Samael Ahriman: Good early start from the champion.


Garrett is able to escape Bishop, although not particularly impressively, he manages to get his hands onto the bottom rope and pull himself out from under Bishop and flop outside the ring. The rolls are reversed as a cocky Bishop goes up to the ropes and taunts a slightly more concerned Jayson Garrett. But the arrogance of Garrett returns pretty soon as he points to the National Championship and then motions to himself. Making it clear that he intends to walk out of Revolution as the National Champion.


Alecia Matthews: Garrett is absolutely full of confidence and after his Battleground victory it's easy to see why.


Samael Ahriman: He's got to back it up though, he's not going to win that belt outside the ring.


The referee gets to a count of four, before Bishop decides he's had enough and slides outside the ring, Garrett runs round to the other side of the ring and gets back into the empty ring. He's followed pretty quickly by Bishop, but as soon as Bishop gets to his feet he's levelled by a knee to the gut from the number one contender. Garrett grabs the bent over Bishop round the head, the number once contender taps the side of his head three time, revelling in the fact that he had outsmarted the National Championship, before driving the champion's head to the mat with a DDT.


Alecia Matthews: Smart from Garrett, he's tricks Bishop and gets some early control in this one.


A couple of 'Hollywood' stomps from Garrett allow him to keep the advantage as Bishop crawls around on the mat, looking to get a moment's respite, but the kicks keep coming from the challenger who has the early advantage in this contest. Garrett eventually stops toying with Bishop and looks to take full advantage of the strong position he finds himself in. Garrett pounces on Bishop, flips the champion over and locks him in the sharpshooter, hoping to force the National Champion to tap out.


Samael Ahriman: Garrett could finish this one early.


Bishop desperately pulls himself towards the ropes, but every time he gets close he is pulled away by Garrett who not simply content with wearing down Bishop, screams at the National Champion, “Tap! Tap! Tap!”. But Bishop is eventually able to get out of it, rotating his body and kicking Garrett away. Bishop is down in one corner as Garrett quickly gets back to his feet in the other. The two men lock eyes, Garrett looking even more confident than he did at the start of the contest and Bishop looking incredibly frustrated.


Samael Ahriman: Not the start Bishop had in mind.


Garrett charges at Bishop and goes to take his head off with a kick to the skull, but Joe manages to dart out of the way at the last second and Garrett has to stop himself from running straight into the turn-buckle. Garrett's early momentum is stopped dead when he turns around and is met by a superkick that catches him right in the jaw, Garrett falls straight back but is caught by the ropes in the corner of the ring. He doesn't have any time to recover as he almost instantly sees Bishop charging towards him and a splash in the corner of the ring floors the challenger.


Alecia Matthews: But just like that, Bishop has control again.


Now Bishop has the advantage and as Garrett had earlier, Joe begins to stomp on his prone opponent. But Garrett's position in the ring allows him to escape from Bishop by again pulling himself out of the ring and to the outside. In a fit of rage Bishop kicks the bottom rope, clearly frustrated that he seems incapable of building up any momentum in this match. Garrett still looks confident as he strolls around the ring, eventually sliding back in to appease the referee who had reached a count of six.


Samael Ahriman: This is really smart from the rookie, he's not letting Bishop build up a head of steam. Bishop's not exactly the most experienced member of the WFWF roster as it is and he's just got no answer right now.


Bishop takes a moment to compose himself as Garrett rests in the corner of the ring looking pretty happy with himself. Eventually the two men return to the middle of the ring and lock up, jockeying for position. Garrett seems to have the strength advantage, but Bishop gets things back into his favour with a knee to the gut of Garrett, and it's followed up by a series of quick kicks to the legs of Jayson. Bishop then sends Garrett down to the mat, grabbing him by both legs and pushing his back down to the floor.


Alecia Matthews: The champion has to take advantage now.


Bishop keeps Garrett's legs held up in the air and hits a couple of kicks to the back of Garrett's knees. With Garrett in a prone position, Bishop then looks to kill him off, attempting to lock in a figure four leg lock, but Garrett is able to kick Bishop away, giving himself enough time to get back to his feet.


Samael Ahriman: Stalemate again in this real back and forth contest, one man needs to take control.


Bishop springs off the ropes and looks to take Garrett down with a clothesline as 'The Golden Boy' gets back to his feet, but Garrett is able to duck under Bishop's arm, he grabs Bishop from behind as he does so and sets the National Champion up for a German Suplex. Garrett hits it and keeps his arms locked around the waist of Bishop, rolling through to hit a second German Suplex and he repeats the process hitting a third German Suplex to Bishop.


Alecia Matthews: Looks like Garrett might be doing just that.


Garrett takes a moment to pose in the middle of the ring, enjoying the abuse he receives from a volatile crowd. After about half a minute he redirects his attention to Bishop who is beginning to, slowly, get back to his feet. Garrett stalks the National Champion, waiting for him too get to his feet. Once Bishop is up, Garrett springs into action, hoisting Bishop onto his shoulder in a torture rack position and setting up the 'Goldeneye'.


Samael Ahriman: If Garrett can hit this we've got a new National Champion. I've seen it before and I promise you there's no kicking out of it.


Alecia Matthews: Yeah, Bishop needs to pull himself together quickly if he wants to win this,


But Bishop is just able to slip behind Garrett's back and avoid the finishing manoeuvre, the momentum shifts again as Bishop is quickly able to lock in the Mactabilis Factum (Anaconda Vice), dragging Garrett to the floor. Garrett struggles to reach for the ropes but fails to do so, he then attempts to get Bishop to let go by nailing a few punches with his free hand, but Bishop isn't willing to let Garrett go.


Alecia Matthews: Well a minute ago we were talking about Garrett ending this one, now it looks like Bishop could be about to secure victory.


Just as it looked as though Garrett would have to tap out, he summoned the energy to roll Bishop over into a pinning position.


1...


2...


Samael Ahriman: Surely not!?


NO!


Bishop kicks out at the last second, almost being caught out by Garrett. The challenger is up like a shot and manages to floor Bishop with a couple of kicks to the gut. Garrett lifts the National Champion up once again and positions him on his shoulders, this time succeeding in hitting the GoldenEye.


Alecia Matthews: Bishop's done.


A cocky Garrett smiles over the lifeless body of Bishop for a moment, surveying the damage he has just caused with the move.


Samael Ahriman: I think you're right. Garrett just needs to go for the pin now and he'll be crowned National Champion after just his second match.


He clearly considers going for the pin, but instead decides to drag Joe towards the corner of the ring, he takes a good minute doing so as he pauses a couple of times to taunt Bishop and scream abuse at the fans in the front few rows. Garrett then slowly ascends to the top rope pausing once he reaches the top to scream “I AM GOLDEN!”


Alecia Matthews: Garrett is going to add insult to injury now, looking for the E-G-A-D-S.


Samael Ahriman: It's surely not worth the risk though. He'd have been National Champion if he went for the pin twenty seconds ago.


Garrett soars through the air looking to secure his first reign as National Champion with the EGADS, but he clearly spent too long to set it up, as at the last second Bishop rolls out of the way and Garrett smashes into the canvas, ending up gasping for air on the floor. Bishop takes full advantage pouncing on the challenger and for the second time locking him in the Mactabilis Factum. Garrett struggles for a good three or four minutes, desperately trying to fight his way out of the hold, but Bishop simply won't let go.


Alecia Matthews: I can't believe that Garrett has held on for this long.


Samael Ahriman: He wouldn't need to if he hadn't been so cocky just a few minutes ago. We'd already have a new champion, but it looks like he's handed it to Bishop.


Garrett begins to look more and more drowsy but still after what feels like an eternity in the hold and after attempting everything he can think of to escape for a second time, Garrett simply will not tap out. Bishop is clearly frustrated, locking the hold in even tighter and screaming at his opponent, desperate for Garrett to tap.


Alecia Matthews: How is he holding on?


Eventually Jayson Garrett passes out in the Anaconda Vice, the referee raises his arm three times and three times it falls to the mat. A valiant effort from Garrett ends in defeat, partly due to his own cockiness, but he deserves credit for hanging on as long as he did without tapping out.


Samael Ahriman: Well Bishop retains. It wasn't as impressive as he'd have liked, but at the end of the day, Bishop is still the National Champion.


Alecia Matthews: Indeed and it must be said that Garrett proved an awful lot tonight, but his ego got in the way of his shot at glory. He'll be leaving Revolution tonight with nothing and I guess that's all that really matters.


Bishop eventually releases the hold, rolls away from Garrett, out of the ring and snatches the National Championship. There's little time for celebration as Bishop storms to the back with the belt in hand, knowing he came very close to losing it.


Alecia Matthews: Bishop certainly not hanging around and… oh, I’m getting word that we’re about to receive a special appearance from somebody who we weren’t expecting to see tonight.


Samael Ahriman: Who is it? Gandalf? The Easter Bunny? Tim Tebow’s career? They’re all things I wouldn’t expect because they don’t exist.


Alecia Matthews: All true, but no, shut up and just listen to Christa speak.


Christa Adina: If you would please put your hands together and welcome our special guest at this time… Cam… Nitta!


Cam Nitta walks down to the ring with a bit of a limp. He needs assistance getting up the steps and getting into the ring. As he is, a heavy air sets into the arena, and the fans become a bit somber. When Cam finally does get in the ring, he grabs a mic.


Cam Nitta: Alright, I’m just going to diffuse the tension straight out…I am not retiring. Not tonight.


A few members of the crowd cheer, as the heavy air slightly dissipates.

Cam Nitta: I am, however, taking a leave of absence. For a few reasons. One of which, you just saw. I just went through a Battleground, and I’m messed up. My arm hurts, my leg hurts, I’m only…26.


Some of the crowd get the reference and start chuckling.


Cam Nitta: The second reason is life. You all have supported me, and inspired me to keep going, even though I’ve had my ups and downs in this business. Well, I’m about to have the biggest up in my life. Yeah, I’m gonna be a dad.


A few whoops. Clapping and cheering envelop the crowd.


Cam Nitta: It’s not the end for me. Not even close. I gotta provide for that new baby. As painful, as taxing as this business is…it rightfully so pays well. So, you should EXPECT me to come back. Normally, this is where I go on this long inspirational speech about how this is a new beginning, about how I’m going to come back better, yada yada. But, you know something. I am not going to reinvent myself, not going to change who I am.


The crowd just loves that kinda thing. Cam smiles.


Cam Nitta: Heh. But I am going to get better. I am going to be a better wrestler, a better talker, a better ass-kisser…nah…just kidding, still gonna be bad at that, no matter how good the people at the top are. The point is, though, that I need to come back. Because this is what I’m good at. But, I need to get better. I’m sure you guys have noticed, that I’ve been thrust into the limelight very quickly in this company. I was not ready for that. My skills are still a bit rough. So, I’m going back, to train, to improve, to sharpen everything that I have. When can you guys expect me back? Hell if I know. I’ll be back when I am ready. And when I return, I will spread my blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of GOD! Prepare, for this day is coming soon. You know not the time or place of my return. All you know is that I am returning. And you will not see it coming. You will only feel my return, as I come in and stand on your neck. One singular swift strike. See you soon.


Cam drops the mic and walks out of the ring, the camera lingering on his back as he heads up the ramp and the screen dramatically fading to black in true drama style.
