This week’s Academy begins with pre taped, unseen footage of last week’s Evolution. The CEO of Championship Wrestling Federation sits at his desk with a sly, evil smile on his face, looking straight at the camera. He is the only man in the office, there is no Chaolin Sahn, Colton Mace, Damion Kirkson or Kancer beside him, just Rishel himself, ready to make a statement to his rival show.
Jaiden Rishel: Welcome...to the Academy.
Rishel laughs aloud, sarcastically.
Jaiden Rishel: The bastard show of CWF. Matter of fact, this show isn’t even officially sanctioned by MY company!
Jaiden takes his eyes off the camera and looks down at a small stack of paperwork that lays scattered across his oak desk. He places his hands around the corner of one particular piece, pulling it into the air.
Jaiden Rishel: You see this contract? This is the paperwork that my piece of shit father and former owner of CWF worked up with Elijah and Omega to allow them to broadcast these Academy shows every other Sunday on Sunset Programming alongside of my company. This is a sham! I will not stand for this shit any longer.
Jaiden throws the piece of paper across his office, and slams his fist against his desk, wincing in a bit of pain.
Jaiden Rishel: Those idiots may have signed an ironclad contract, with the best lawyers my father’s money could buy, but just like Wrestle Fest three when Chaolin Sahn and I outsmarted him to obtain CWF, I will do the same soon enough. You see, October 22nd there is set to be a very special event named Uprising: Road to Hell. Elijah, Omega? I’ll see you there.
Showing pure anger, Rishel throws another stack of paperwork at the camera, breaking away the broadcast.
Jace Valentine is shown backstage, leaning up against a wall with a microphone in hand.
Jace Valentine: Hello all, and welcome to the Jace Valentine show. This garbage dump of an Academy doesn't seem to have any kind of backstage personnel, so I'm here tonight to pull double duty. I'm here with an exclusive interview with who could very well be the first CWF Academy champion... Rayne Kancer! Welcome, Rayne, do you have anything to say to your fans?
Jace extends the microphone out, but the real Rayne Kancer is not there. Jace is backstage, with a coy smile on his face, conducting an interview with a blow up doll.
Jace Valentine: Do you really think you belong here, Miss Kancer? Do you really think you can hang with the big boys? Get real, honey. You're just another pair of lips, another piece of ass that gets shown the door as soon as the sun comes up. So the question is...
Jace starts to push and pull the microphone in and out of the doll's mouth.
Jace Valentine: How far can you go, doll? How much can you take before you gargle and gag? Before you choke? Cause honey, when you start messing around with Jace it's gonna be a roller coaster ride. Step by step, mile by mile, we're climbing to Space Mountain. Wipe your face off and get ready for the ride of your life. We don't just go all night around here, honey. We go for weeks. We go until your knees are chapped and your back is sore.
Jace fondles up the doll with a perverted smile.
Jace Valentine: So what is Chaolin Sahn going to do for you, ya think? What good is it gonna do ya to run around with his merry band of jabronis and jackasses? What good is that limp-wristed, reject clown of a brother gonna do for ya? Come take a walk on the wild side with Jace Valentine. Your knees may get weak and your heart might start beating fast, but rest assured, honey, that's normal. Maybe, if you're lucky, I'll let you ride on the rocket as I shoot straight to the top. It's like they say, baby, you might not land on the moon but at least you'll be sleeping with a star.
Jace winks before knocking the doll to the ground with a swift boot as the camera fades.
All four competitors make their way to the ring, and the match starts off very fast paced, all four looking to make their name in the Academy as they quickly come to blows. Kaylan El battles first with Tala Sugay, as Kendo and Damion Kirkson renew their war from the triple threat at Evolution. Kendo takes a few chops from Kirkson, no selling each one, before lifting him up into the air for a powerslam, Kirkson drops out from behind though and spins him through the air with Crossrhoads! The Eternal member gets to his feet valiantly, standing over the large Samoan and raising his hand in the air, garnering boos from all across the Academy.
Tala Sugay has Kaylan against the corner, her boot pressed up against the returning CWF star’s face. Kaylan El is able to maneuver out of the predicament however, instead tossing Tala herself into the corner and crunching her over and over again with shoulder blocks. She proceeds to pull Sugay in by the head, walk up the ropes and bulldog her right into the mat! Kaylan wastes no time in going for the cover. 1….2..No! Damion Kirkson stops the cover, lifting her not only off of Sugay but up and over with a hard suplex.
Watching from outside of the ring, Silas Kincaid slaps the mat and shouts at Kirkson, who simply looks back at him with a flash of an evil smile. Kirkson turns around right into the mammoth Kendo though, who tosses him halfway across the ring with an overhead belly to belly suplex! Kendo lifts Tala Sugay up, hurling her around with a belly to belly suplex of her own. When Kendo goes to hit a third suplex on Kaylan El, he is instead hit with repeated knees to the stomach, before being surprised by Kaylan walking right up his huge frame and taking him out with a spinning headscissors takedown!
With the moment clearly in her hands now, Kaylan El looks around the ring at all three of her downed opponents. She moves in for Tala Sugay, stomping down on her a few times to make sure she is still stunned. Damion Kirkson is up from behind however, turning El around to go for a huge lariat that she ducks and instead takes out Kendo, both men flipping over the top rope! Only Tala Sugay and Kaylan El remain in the ring now, and Sugay is easy pickings for Kaylan as she annihilates her with the SWEET RELEASE! Kaylan El hooks both legs of her opponent, looking right at Kincaid who smiles back at her. 1….2….3!
“Sex Room” once again plays over the speaker system and Silas meets Kaylan El in the ring, celebrating her first big victory since coming back to CWF and now the Academy.
“World without Danger(instrumental)” By Subdigitals plays over the PA system as Maya Jensen comes out from the back. It wasn’t time for her match just yet so the crowds wonder just what she had on her mind. Soon she arrived in the ring as a microphone was handed to her as she looked around at the cheering crowds. She smiled a moment before raising the mic up to her lips.
Maya Jensen: Despite being in the wrestling business for nearly 3 years, this is probably the second time I’ve ever come out to the ring to address something. I have to say it’s pretty exhilarating and awe inspiring just to come out here and say a few words.
The crowds cheered even louder at this and Maya smiled all the more.
Maya Jensen: Before I go any farther I would like to think you all for coming out tonight and I hope you enjoy my match later on tonight.
More props to the fans and they are loving it as they cheer more. Maya smiles a moment but it’s slowly replaced by a more determined one.
Maya Jensen: Now, I need to address on what happened last week on Evolution. Or more specifically what happened before the show even started. As me and some others were attacked before coming into the arena. I don’t know about those others, but I will not stand for someone thinking they can just attack me like that and get away with it.
Maya’s voice had a bit of anger in it but it was more determined.
Maya Jensen: But I’m not going to stoop to his level and just go attack him. Oh no. I’m better than that. So, right here and right now I’m calling out, that person. One Hayden Allister to a match at Uprising!
This got a pop from the crowd, not only for the calling out but for the mention of the Academy PPV. Maya looked around a moment before looking towards the back.
Maya Jensen: So come on Hayden. Come out here and accept my Challenge.
Maya stood there as she waited for her Hayden to come out. Finally, "The Devil's Rejects" by Rob Zombie plays over the PA and Hayden’s video appears on the titantron. But instead of Hayden it was his manager, “The Mouth of Madness” Edgar Mitchell who came out with a mic. But he didn’t leave the stage as he stood in the center before the music was cut.
Edgar Mitchell: I find it funny how a new talent such as yourself would be foolish enough to challenge my client for a match.
Maya raises her mic back up.
Maya Jensen: Some would call it being brave. I’m not scared of your Hayden.
Edgar only shrugs his shoulders.
Edgar Mitchell: You should be. After all you wouldn’t want a repeat on what happened before last Evolution do you?
Maya Jensen: We’ll just have to see what happens. So, does your client accept the match or not?
Edgar acts like he’s going to think about it before chuckling.
Edgar Mitchell: A match against the likes of you? Please, you’re not worth Hayden’s time. Even more a shot at him for a Pay-Per-View. Besides, after he beats Jace Valentine tonight, he’ll already be booked for Uprising. In the main event, where he belongs, challenging and winning the Academy World Heavyweight Title.
Maya Jensen: So he’s a coward then? Blind siding people and when they show some backbone he’d rather run and hide?
Edgar doesn’t seem phased at all by Maya’s insult as he just shakes his head.
Edgar Mitchell: Our business is done here.
With that, Edgar leaves for the back as the camera’s focus back on Maya. Maya just shakes her head at it.
Maya Jensen: Oh this isn’t over. Not by a long shot.
“World Without Danger (instrumental)” hits the PA system as Maya drops the mic before she herself heads to the back.
We see Rayne Kancer walking backstage, she begins to speak tensely, clear anger in her voice.
Rayne Kancer: Jace, I don't know what you're trying to pull with that blow up doll but you ain't fooling nobody. You're stupid if you think that will bug me, you can't get into my head. You're not anything to me and I will beat you at the big show to get that title around my waist. You see there are two types of people in this world, ones who talk and ones who get things done, I'm one to get things done, you are not. So plain and simple, you're going to go home empty handed and I am going home with a prize, the show and the world is mine. Get used to it because I am a Kancer and the Kancer is terminal.
Rayne continues walking as the scene fades to black.
The first one on one match of tonight’s show looks to be a great one, as Maya Jensen, a striking competitor on a roll ever since joining CWF after the Golden Intentions rumble, goes up against Freddie Styles, a man who made his big return attacking Tala Sugay at the end of the very first Academy show. The bell rings and Maya circles her opponent, going in for a lock up but being taken to the mat with an arm drag. Styles holds onto her arm and cranks back on it, but Jensen turns him over, flipping him onto his back and going right onto him to lay into him with right hands!
After covering up his face to block most of the blows, Styles throws the much lighter Jensen off of him and both are quickly back to their feet. She attempts to stay on the offense, leaping towards him for a running Cross Body Block, but Freddie Styles catches her. Tossing her into a vertical position on his shoulder, he then spikes her down with a vertical suplex, but holds on, bringing her right back to her feet and this time Brainbuster’s her to the canvas! Styles goes for a cover quickly. 1….2...Kickout!
Showing a little frustration, Freddie Styles gets to his feet and looks at the official, but quickly brings Maya Jensen back to her feet to do more damage. Tossing her into the ropes, Jensen ducks under a big boot, comes back and smashes through Styles with the X-Blade Crash flying spear! The crowd inside the Academy is going wild, as Jensen goes for the cover with Annabelle Jackson watching from outside of the ring, making sure there are no more attacks from the Devil’s Rejects. 1….2...No! Styles is able to get his shoulder up just in time.
Annabelle calls for Jensen to end the match, and she gets back to her feet and nods at her manager, standing ready for Styles to get to his feet so she can hit the Green No More enziguri. But when Freddie Styles gets up, he is able to duck under the kick, instead turning her inside out with a Underhook Suplex. The technician now seems to have the match in his hands, as he lands a beautiful standing moonsault. But when something, or someone, catches his eye in the audience, Styles goes right to the ropes and begins swearing at someone with long curly hair. The unknown man and him argue back and forth, leaving him prone and vulnerable as Jensen turns him back around. FRIGID ICE WALL! Maya Jensen hops on Styles, using all her body weight to hold him down for the cover. 1….2….3!
“World Without Danger” plays once again, Annabelle Jackson joining Maya Jensen in the ring, smiling as the official raises her arm for yet another victory in her young CWF career. The two of them eye up the entrance ramp and crowd, ready for any sign of the Devil’s Rejects but there is none yet. However, outside of the ring, Styles has gotten right in the face of the man in the crowd, who wears a black shirt with words in white reading “Danny Gordy” in bold. The two push at each other and continue swearing, until security hurries to the scene the pulls them apart.
"The New Era of Arrogance" Jace Valentine is shown backstage again, this time harassing our robot friend RedEmma.
Jace Valentine: Give me some more of those pills, dude. Come on!
RedEmma: I am not 'dude.' You shall call me 'RedEmma.'
Jace smirks.
Jace Valentine: Give me some more of those pills, man. I need them!
RedEmma: I am not 'man.' You shall call me 'RedEmma'.
Jace lets out a bit of frustrated laughter.
Jace Valentine: Give me some more of those pills, moron! My match is next!
RedEmma: I am not 'moron.' You shall call me 'RedEmma.'
Jace Valentine: RedEmma...
The robot perks up with excitement.
Jace Valentine: Give me the pills, please. My match with Hayden Allister is next, and I need to be at the top of my game!
RedEmma's right arm springs out, but Jace steps back expecting it to come out and crash into his chest like before. Eris must have finally got that figured out. Jace leans forward and grabs the pills. In an instant, he hurries them into his throat.
Jace Valentine: Douche.
Jace whispers under his breath before RedEmma's left arm springs out, this time catching Jace square, almost making him choke. RedEmma opens it's robotic palm to the King of Canadian Controversy, taking his request literally... handing him a feminine douche product. Jace laughs.
Jace Valentine: Yeah, yeah. Real funny. A real douche, how clever. You might want to deliver that to the room of Lady Kancer... because the next time she lays eyes on me, she's going to need cleaned all over, if you know what I mean.
RedEmma: Does. Not. Compute.
Jace Valentine: See ya around, RedEnema. You ain't so bad.
Jace walks away, staggering his way to ringside like a drunken sailor as the camera fades.
Before the official can even call for the bell to start off the first of two Academy Title Tournament semi-final matches, Hayden Allister strikes out with a quick kick right to the damaged knee of Valentine. To his surprise the New Era of Arrogance does not go down, instead pushing Allister backward right on his ass. The methodical man simply smiles back at Valentine, slithering back to his feet as the match finally officially begins. Jace Valentine springs off the ropes showing surprisingly strength in his footing, but Allister ducks under a clothesline, swings him over and hits him with a neckbreaker!
Now his knee is truly being put to the test, as Hayden Allister grabs ahold of the leg of the downed Valentine and smashes it against the canvas several times. He then goes for a sharpshooter attempt, but Jace dragon screws him over. Back to their feet now, the Devils Reject charges, but Valentine ducks under to back body drop him to the canvas. He runs at Allister as he pulls himself up in the corner, a running dropkick crunching him into the turnbuckle pads!
Valentine, now garnering a few surprising cheers from the apathetic Academy crowd, does the unthinkable for the grappler, going up to the top rope. The New Era of Arrogance slowly gains his footing, before leaping off for a big splash that only hits canvas as Hayden Allister moves out of the way just in time. Allister kips up, Valentine up quickly too, but is right back down with a slingblade from Allister. He waits for Jace patiently, V-TRIGGER KNEE RIGHT TO HIS JAW! Valentine drops suddenly, and Hayden Allister hooks the leg for the cover. 1….2....Kickout!
The last second kickout angers Allister, but he quickly goes back to his feet to prepare for yet another V-Trigger. This time Jace Valentine dodges out, puts a boot right to the belly of Hayden Allister as he turns to face him, HEARTBREAKER! The pedigree isn’t enough for Valentine however, as he grabs Allister by his long hair, looking outside at the screaming Edgar Mitchell as he pulls him up for a death valley driver. Allister drops out from behind, another V-Trigger! Allister puts Valentine up on the top rope quickly, locking in the Dragon’s Sleeper. He leaps off, SINS OF THE FATHER!? NO! In mid-air, Jace Valentine amazingly spins his body across Allister’s, as they fall to the mat he locks in CUPID’S CHOKEHOLD! Allister does all he can to fight out, but seconds later is forced to tap out.
“We’ve Had Enough” by Alkaline Trio starts up again and Valentine struggles to get to his feet, the official helping him up and raising his hand in victory to a surprisingly mixed response. Jace Valentine sulks in the heat a little bit before exiting the ring and up the ramp, more than happy to have made it to the Academy Title Tournament Finals match at Uprising: Road to Hell.
Hayden Allister and Edgar Mitchell make their way towards the stage to head to the back, disappointed and angry when “World Without Danger(instrumental)” Plays over the PA system and Maya Jensen comes out onto the stage causing Hayden and Edgar to pause at the bottom of the ramp. Maya raises her microphone to her lips as she addresses the two of them.
Maya Jensen: So, I told you that it wasn’t over. So here I am again to see if you’ve come to your senses and will accept my challenge to a match at Uprising.
The two seem to look at each other before Edgar calls for one of the stage hands to bring him a microphone. Once he’s given one he looks back to Maya up on stage.
Edgar Mitchell: I thought I told you already. Hayden Allister has no time for the likes of you. Now get lost before Hayden here gives the nice fans here a repeat of what happened before Evolution two.
Hayden cracks his knuckles as he looks up at the ramp. Maya only shakes her head slightly.
Maya Jensen: Last time you caught me off guard. And last I checked Hayden has just finished getting done with a match, while I’ve had plenty of time to recover from mine.
Edgar Mitchell: It’s still a two on one here.
Edgar and Hayden both smirk almost ready to make Maya move but Maya only shakes her head.
Maya Jensen: And you seemed to forget that I BEAT two superstars on my official CWF Debut. Both of whom were fresh and I… well, I just got back from the beating that you two gave me.
Edgar and Hayden seemed to stop at that as what Maya said. But neither showed any fear. Edgar only shakes his head.
Edgar Mitchell: Fine, have it your way. But just know that it doesn’t matter. My Client will NOT be facing you at Uprising. Now we’ll take our leave.
With that, Edgar placed the microphone down on the floor before he and Hayden left to the back through around the stage. Maya watches them go with a look on her face the read she wasn’t going to take no for an answer before she too left for the back.
After the match, Jace Valentine is shown backstage again. This time he is backstage, leaning up against a wall. Miraculously, his knee seems to be holding up. For the first time in nearly a decade, he stepped into a wrestling ring and came out the other side of it feeling better. Better, not battered. Better, not broken. Maybe it's a good thing he's here in the Academy. Maybe it's a good thing he's being treated by the robot doctor, RedEmma. Those little red pills are a lifesaver!
Maybe things would finally be different. Jace feels happy. Jace feels satisfied.
...Jace feels nauseous.
Things ARE different. Jace is walking the halls of the Academy, not as the King of Canadian Controversy, not as the Host with the Most, the egomaniac that is the former CWF World Heavyweight Champion. No, this Jace is different. A bizzaro Jace stuck in a bizzaro place, this Jace is seen as something of a role model, a hero, a man willing to stick up for what he believes in.
Selfless, not hardly, but damn... this is so weird.
What the hell is going on here?
Who the hell is this Jace Valentine, and does he really belong here?
It's not like he has friends, or any true allies to watch his back. Is Omega there to protect him or to protect herself and her beloved? Eris and Skelton, two brainiacs that are here simply because they needed a cause to believe in. I guess that's why Jace is here too then? Because he needs a cause? Something to fight for and believe in? Maybe he just needs that direction, that step-by-step walk through back to glory. Is that what the Academy is providing him? It sure seemed that way. Jace was back to his winning ways, back to doing what he loves to do. Back to proving people wrong, inside and outside of that wrestling ring.
It felt wrong to Jace to be the "good guy" after all this time, but nothing felt more right. Nothing felt more righteous. Nothing felt better to say he was one match away from holding championship gold for another time. It consumed him, the thought badgered and picked at him. Jace Valentine... the champion of the Academy. Whether it was the Paramount championship, the CWF World Heavyweight championship... it didn't matter. What mattered was that he had a purpose. That gold strap around his waist was always his purpose before. Proving people wrong was always his motivation before. But now, everything is different. Everything is a challenge in proving other people RIGHT. Proving to Omega and Elijah and all the fans that Jace Valentine truly deserved the second chance. Maybe he didn't always do things the right way, but now he would. Now he has no other choice but to tow that line and do what people asked him to do. No more rebellion, no more arrogance, no more ego.
Selflessness. Jace would get there one step at a time.
Jace stands to his feet, beginning to walk away before he feels a tap on his shoulder. He turns around quickly, but there is no one there accompanying him in that wide open and abandoned hall way.
Jace Valentine: Omega?
No answer. Jace shrugs it off and keeps walking. He feels another tap upon his shoulder blade. A cold, haunting touch. He snaps around, quicker this time.
Jace Valentine: Elijah!?
No answer.
Jace Valentine: Eris? Skelton? Rayne!?? What the hell is going on here! My patience wears thin, show yourself!
Jace huffs, throwing his arms into the air. He won't play these games. It doesn't matter who it is. Another tap. Jace turns around again.
Unless... it's him.
Jack Valentine: Hello, dear son.
Jace stumbles backwards, tripping and falling onto the hard floor below.
Jace Valentine: D-Dad? Mother said you died, about seven years ago!
The elder Valentine chuckles.
Jack Valentine: Your mother, God bless her heart, she would be right. A vicious heart attack, I didn't stand a chance. The stress was too much. I got involved in something where I was truly in over my head, and I guess my body saw it as the only way out.
Jace Valentine: But-- but, I see you! What the hell is going on? If I see you... you're dead, but you're standing in front of me. Don't tell me that Hayden killed me out there and here I am in the afterlife.
The elder Valentine chuckles again.
Jack Valentine: No, no, son. You are a champion, like your father, or at least you will be again soon.
Jace cuts off the ghost of his father.
Jace Valentine: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!?
Jack Valentine: I guess we could say the same about you? We are both a little out of our elements, aren't we? We are both trying to atone for our past mistakes. The only difference is that you still have a life to lead, you still have an opportunity to turn things around and really make a difference. I am here to make sure you follow the right path. I am here to make sure you don't stray. But mostly, I am here to sincerely apologize and tell you that I am sorry.
Jace Valentine: Sorry? For what? Because you had a bastard son that couldn't do anything right in his youth? Sorry that I had no filter? Or sorry that I grew up just like you?
Jack Valentine: You have become just like me, and yes, that is not something I am terribly proud of. You have spent your whole life rubbing people the wrong way, doing whatever you can to piss them off just so you make your presence known. Believe me, Jace, I was the same way. That is the biggest regret of my life. I will tell you that right now. You don't need to demean and put down people to feel better about yourself. Lift people up, help them out. Do the right thing, do the good thing, and good things will come to you. Championships and opportunities will come to you. Then, and only then, can you say you are truly proud of being a Valentine.
A tear rolls down Jace's cheek. He swipes it away in a hurry to avoid the feeling of vulnerability.
Jace Valentine: You know what... I'm sorry, too, Dad. I am sorry I have been a constant disappointment throughout my life. A recurring letdown, and that changes now. This match against Rayne, this Academy Championship match, it's about more than my return to glory. It's about more than gold straps and the status of winner or loser. It's about redemption. It's about resurrection, revolution and a rebirth of Jace Valentine. I vow to do the right thing, from here on out, no matter how hard it gets or how much it hurts.
Jack Valentine: That's what I like to hear.
Jace Valentine: At Uprising: Road to Hell, you will see me forge a new path. I will be my own man, I will blaze my own trail... and Rayne better watch, before she gets burnt.
Jack Valentine: Atta boy. Knock em dead, kid.
Jace shares an awkward embrace with the ghost of his father before he vanishes. Now Jace is standing alone in the wide hallway. Alone with his thoughts and convictions. He throws open a door backstage, stepping outside of the arena. The wind whips at his hair, but he pays it no mind. Inside of Jace is a desperate desire, an obsession... to do good deeds.
As he wanders into the London streets he mutters to himself.
Jace Valentine: Now I'm talking to dead parents, too? Oh, God, I have the kancer!
The scene fades to black.
The camera’s head backstage as we see Hayden Allister and Edgar Mitchell walking back to their locker room as they were discussing something. But we don’t get to really catch that as Edgar suddenly looks ahead as his face grows in annoyance.
Edgar: Now what’s this?
The camera pans to see what Edgar was referring too and what we see is Maya Jensen leaning against the door to Hayden and Edgar’s locker room. Her arms were crossed as she did so. Standing next to her, was her manager, Annabelle Jackson.
Maya Jensen: I told you, I’m not taking no for an answer.
Edgar Mitchell: Then you are a stupid naive little girl. I already told you that Hayden has not time for the likes of you.
Maya only shrugs her shoulders lightly.
Maya Jensen: Well he’d better make time. Because I will keep on getting in your face until you do accept my challenge. So, what do you say?
Maya asked as Edgar was clearly getting annoyed.
Edgar Mitchell: The answer is the same as it was before. Hayden will not…
But Hayden raises a hand causing Edgar to stop mid sentence.
Hayden Allister: You know, if she wants me to kick her ass inside of that ring that badly. Then by all means. I accept your challenge. Come Uprising you and me will go one on one.
Maya actually smirks at this.
Maya Jensen: Good. I’ll see you there.
Maya straightens up as she and Annabelle leave. Hayden and Edgar watch as she leaves.
Hayden Allister: She’ll get what’s coming to her.
Edgar nods as the two of them headed towards their locker room and enter. The camera stays on the door a moment before shifting to another part of the show.
In the back Danny Gordy is walking around and found a technician and demands a mic, after shoving the technician he finally gets one and faces the camera that's following him.
Danny Gordy: Yeah Freddy, that's right, you finally got what you wanted, My name is Danny Gordy and for all you peons and pissants here in CWF, I'm the guy, you don't want here. because I'm the guy who tells it like it is and I'm the guy who backs his word up. If I say I'm going to beat the shit out you then as right as the sun rises in the morning, your ass, gets a beating from me. Now Freddy Styles called me out on social media and, SURPRISE SURPRISE FREDDY! I'm here, I called your fucking bluff and just now out in the arena, I was right in your face.
Danny chuckles.
Danny Gordy: But you didn't do shit, just like if you have the balls to face me at say, Uprising: Road To Hell? It will be one long, painful road into a hell of an ass kicking for you mother fucker. Just like you didn't do shit out in the arena just now, you won't do shit when we face each other in the ring. You want to throw down, I'm right Here, in your own town of CWF and it's going to be my great pleasure in whipping your fucking ass, right here, in the very place you've made a name for yourself and that's right here, in the CWF. So now that I'm here, I did the very thing you'd thought I'd never do, and that's come and shut, your damn mouth up. And at Uprising, Road To Hell, you face me there and I'll do just that's SHUT your fucking mouth, so want some? (camera comes in close) Come get some.
Fade out.
With the final match of the night underway, Eris and Rayne Kancer both look ready and willing to do whatever it takes to make it to the final match in the Academy Title Tournament. Both competitors lock up in the center of the ring, arms interlinked, each trying to press the other, to outstrength the other in the early going. Eris starts to control the situation but Kancer is able to slip out, taking them down with a russian leg sweep. She then runs at them quickly to place a shining wizard against the side of their skull that nearly leaves it in the front row!
Rayne Kancer is elated as her brother Tristan claps his hands aloud outside the ring, cheering on his younger sister and fellow Eternals stablemate. Their very enemy is the greyed battle of good and evil, the Academy’s own Eris, is able to get right back to their feet and meet Rayne Kancer with a spinning heel kick. Kancer comes back with a right hand, Eris has one of their own. The fists continue to fly until Eris eventually gets the upperhand, knocking Rayne back to the corner and placing her up top. Eris follows her up, frankensteiner type HURRICANRANA OFF THE TOP! A resounding cheer from the English fans as Eris hops on for the cover. 1….2..Her shoulders up just in time!
Eris rolls off of the Eternals first lady, getting to their feet first and bicycle kicking Kancer as she tries to get to hers. They then go for the corner, heading up to the top rope for a split legged moonsault, but Rayne Kancer gets both of her knees up! She pops up to her feet, soaking in the boos coming from the Academy fans, dragging Eris over to the ropes where her brother stands outside, directing her to choke the day lights out of Eris. Finally she lets loose as the official starts to count. Rayne pulls Eris up to her shoulders and spikes them down, ONE WINGED ANGEL! Rayne Kancer holds on for the cover. 1….2….3? No! Eris kicks out at the last second!
The camera scans up to the entrance ramp where Damion Kirkson steps out from behind the curtain with a certain smirk on his face. He ignores the heat, walks down and greets Tristan with a high five. Rayne sees this and smiles brightly, throwing Eris out of the ring and quickly distracting the referee. Kirkson and Tristan trade right hands on Eris before they both lift them up, a double powerbomb producing a nasty thud against the steel steps! The official turns around just in time to see the Eternals members with their hands up, and Rayne rushes outside to pull Eris back into the ring. A sea of boos as she awaits them, RAYNING DOWN! Confidant cover by Rayne. 1….2….3!
“Sweet Child O’ Mine” plays over the jeering crowd, barely being able to be heard as Kirkson and Tristan meet their sister in the ring to begin stomping down on Eris. All three of them take turns laying into them, before Rayne hits a standing moonsault right to the gut of Eris. The attack continues until Jace Valentine and James Skelton run out from the back, a sudden cheer coming from the Academy fans as they sprint down the ramp, roll into the ring and immediately get into the action. Skelton tackles Tristan Kancer down and the two roll around trading right hands.
Jace Valentine double clotheslines both Damion Kirkson and Rayne Kancer, before dropping down to a knee to check on Eris. He helps them to their feet just as Kirkson is back up, cracking him with a hard elbow to the side of his jaw. Eris explodes through the air, a high dropkick taking Kirkson over the top rope. Tristan and Rayne proceed to roll out of the ring, regrouping as Kirkson gets to his feet, all three of them seething in anger as they back up the ramp with the credits rolling for this week’s Academy.
