"15 Minutes of Fame" Episode Code Number: 1x02 Available Where: AxxessNet Start Time: 8pm EST/ 5pm PDT Date: 10.06.16 Location: Center Stage Arena - Los Angeles, CA We open up to a panning shot of Center Stage Arena in Los Angeles, California! The hot LA crowd is again going wild for Glitz, Glamour and Glory Wrestling. The LA fans got their first taste of 3GW two weeks ago and now they’re back for more action. ★★★ Opening Contest - Tag Team ★★★ Gold Star Connection vs. Maritza Diaz & Rab McKinley "Wish it Away" by Psyko Dalek plays over the PA system, and once the song's intro finishes, through the curtains walks Rab McKinley, who is greeted by a cheer. As he makes his way towards the ring, Rab slaps the hands of some of the fans that reach out to him. Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, this tag team match is set for one fall. Introducing first, from Edinburgh, Scotland! Weighing in at 251 pounds… RAB MCKINLEY! After arriving at ringside, Rab heads for one of the corners, clambers up onto the ring apron, and then climbs to the second rope, to further cheers and applause from the fans. Rab soaks in the reaction from the crowd for several seconds before leaping over the top rope, into the ring, and turning his attention towards his opponent, as he awaits the start of the match. Geoff Penzer: Hello and welcome to another installment of Thursday Night Challenge! I am your host, Geoff Penzer! Tonight, we crown our first 3GW 15 Champion as Jensen Banks goes one on one with Shintaro Majima. But right now, we’re getting ready for tag team action in our opening contest! “Fireball” by Willow ft Nicki Minaj fills the arena as Maritz Diaz slowly walks out to the stage in a long black and red silk robe, and a traditional Mongkon head piece. For a moment she simply smiles and looks out at the fans before uniting the belt on her robe and removing it completely. She does a double bicep pose before heading down to the ring. Melanie Sierra: His partner, from Miami, Florida! Weighing in at 175 pounds! She is “The Power Princess” … MARITZA DIAZ! As she walks she high fives fans as she passes before running and sliding under the bottom rope. Once in the ring she stands in the center rattling off a series of punches, elbow strikes, knees, and kicks in rapid succession before bowing and removing her Mongkon and Pra Jiad arm bands. Geoff Penzer: Maritza Diaz and her friend Rab McKinley are teaming up for the first time. But this isn’t the first time they’re in the ring together. Two weeks ago on the Pilot episode of Thursday Night Challenge, the two of them fought AJ Wolfe in a Triple Threat Match. That match was won by Wolfe. Will Rab and Maritza be able to coexist when they team up against these two... “Get Fresh With You” by Teddybears feat. Laza Morgan begins to play as The Gold Star Connection explode through the entrance. Layla is whipping around in circles to make the tassels on her legs and arms swing wildly, while Lukas displays her with pride. Melanie Sierra: Their opponents, making their way to the ring at a total combined weight of 310 pounds! They are the team of Lukas Gold and Layla Star … the GOLD STAR CONNECTION! They continues this down the ramp, bouncing along and occasionally slapping a hand or two until they reach the steps, bouncing up them and then posing on the apron, arms extended straight out to the sides, feet wide to form a ‘star’ shape, then Layla climbing on the top rope and repeating the pose before leaping down into the ring and twirling around. Lukas leaps over the top rope and heads up the turnbuckle, posing for the fans with his arms raised high again, before finally backflipping off the turnbuckle and landing on his feet as the music fades. Geoff Penzer: These two star crossed lovers are looking to be as strong in the ring as they are outside. However, they will definitely be at a strength disadvantage tonight as Rab and Maritza clearly have the power. The match starts with the Gold Star Connection hugging each other before Layla Star heads out to the apron. It’s Lukas Gold and Rab McKinley starting things off. Gold ducks a collar and elbow tie up attempt by McKinley. When McKinley turns around, Gold takes McKinley and goes for an irish whip. But McKinley reverses, sending Gold into the ropes. When Gold returns, he slides through McKinley’s legs. When McKinley turns around, Gold pops up to his feet before connecting with a dropkick. But McKinley doesn’t leave his feet. So Gold leaps up and connects with another dropkick. But again, McKinley doesn’t fall. He just stumbles into the ropes. When Star enters the ring after getting waved in by Gold, the Gold Star Connection take McKinley and whip him into the far ropes. When McKinley returns, the crowd cheers as the Connection knock him down with a double dropkick. Once McKinley gets back up, the Connection knock him down with another double dropkick. Diaz rushes into the ring, but she gets knocked down by a double dropkick as well. Star picks up Diaz, moves her into the corner and delivers knife edge chops while Gold takes McKinley, brings him into the opposite corner and does the same. Geoff Penzer: The Gold Star Connection are working like a well-oiled machine here. On cue, the Connection try to irish whip Diaz and McKinley into each other. But Diaz and McKinley reverse, sending the Connection crashing into each other in the middle of the ring. Geoff Penzer: Well hold on just a second! The team of Diaz and McKinley are fighting back now. As the Connection stumble back, Diaz and McKinley take each member of the Connection and throw them down with inverted powerslams. Diaz then takes Star and tosses her through the ropes and to the floor while McKinley turns over Gold and makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Gold gets his shoulder up. McKinley picks up Gold and whips him into the ropes. When Gold returns, he goes for a crossbody block. The crowd cheers as McKinley catches him in mid air before throwing him over his head with a fallaway slam. Geoff Penzer: McKninley’s raw power was on display there. If McKinley or Diaz get their hands on them, then you can expect to see things like that happen all night long. As Gold gets up off the mat, McKinley runs across the ring and connects with a European Uppercut. The uppercut knocks Gold through the ropes and to the floor. Geoff Penzer: The Scotsman put a little something extra behind that uppercut! Back in the ring, when Diaz turns around, Star leaps off the top rope with a springboard crossbody. But Diaz catches her in mid air. Geoff Penzer: Uh oh... Diaz lifts Star over her head and military presses her several times to cheers from the crowd. When Gold gets back to his feet, Diaz runs across the ring and throws Star down onto Gold. Geoff Penzer: Oh my! After Gold pulls himself back up onto the apron, he’s met with a shoulder thrust through the ropes from McKinley. He then leans the top tope forward before yanking back, sending Gold flipping back into the ring. McKinley drops down and makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Gold gets his shoulder up. Geoff Penzer: The Gold Star Connection started off hot but they have been cooled off by this power duo of Diaz and McKinley! McKinley picks up Gold and whips him into the ropes. When Gold returns, McKinley throws him down with a belly to belly suplex. He hooks the leg. ONE! . . TWO! . . Gold gets his shoulder up. McKinley takes Gold and whips him into the corner. He then runs across the ring, leaps into the corner and connects with a corner splash. After pulling Gold from out of the corner, McKinley throws him down with a scoop slam. He makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Gold gets his shoulder up. McKinley heads over and tags in Diaz. The crowd cheers as The Power Princess gets in the ring, picks up Gold and moves him into the corner. From there, Diaz delivers a series of knife edge chops. She then places Gold in the clich and delivers knees to the body. Diaz then takes Gold and sends him into the opposite corner. Diaz runs across the ring and into the corner, but she’s met with a boot from the face. While Diaz staggers back, Gold rolls from out of the corner, dives over and tags Star in. Geoff Penzer: Star is now in. Let’s see what she can do against The Power Princess. Star springboards to the top turnbuckle, leaps off and goes for another cross body block. But again, Diaz catches her in mid air. This time, though, Gold gets back and dropkicks Star down on top of Diaz. Geoff Penzer: How about that move? ONE! . . TWO! . . Diaz shoves Star off of her. Geoff Penzer: How about that kickout! Once both wrestlers get back up, Star tries to keep Diaz controlled with a side headlock. But Diaz is quick to shove Star off of her and into the ropes. When Star returns, Diaz sets up for a back body drop. But Star counters by knocking Diaz down with a rolling wheel kick to the back of the head. She turns Diaz over and makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Diaz gets her shoulder up. Geoff Penzer: The Power Princess got clipped across the back of the head. Let’s see if the Connection start head hunting. Star picks up Diaz and doubles her over with three kicks to the midsection. She then runs back into the ropes. When Star returns, she knocks down Diaz with a scissors kick. She pushes Diaz over and makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Diaz gets her shoulder up. Star goes over and tags Gold back in. Once Gold gets in, the Connection take Diaz, moves her into the corner and deliver double chops. They then bring Diaz from out of the corner before whipping her into the ropes. When Diaz returns, they set up for a back body drop. But Diaz stops, places them each in a front facelock and delivers a double suplex to an explosion of cheers. Geoff Penzer: Talk about power! Maritza Diaz just suplexed two wrestlers at the same time! Unbelievable! Diaz turns over and tries to crawl back towards her corner. But she’s cut off by Gold, who delivers a leg drop across the back of the head. He then pulls Diaz over and makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . McKinley breaks up the pin. Geoff Penzer: Good save there by Rab. Gold picks up Diaz and goes for an irish whip. But Diaz reverses and follows Gold into the corner. But instead of crashing into the corner, Gold runs up to the top turnbuckle, flips off and knocks down the oncoming Diaz with the Golden Touch. Star delivers a slingshot elbow drop, followed by a slingshot leg drop from Gold. He makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Diaz gets her shoulder up. Geoff Penzer: The Gold Star Connection have not only regained the advantage in this match, but they’ve got Diaz trapped in their corner. Gold picks up Diaz and whips her into the ropes. When Diaz returns, she throws out a clothesline. But Gold ducks with a Matrix-style evasion. When Diaz turns around, Gold leans back up and follows up with a Pelé Kick. While Diaz is dazed, Gold heads towards the ropes. Gold goes for a springboard roundhouse kick. But Diaz counters in mid air with a bicycle knee strike. Geoff Penzer: Miami Express! While both wrestlers are down, the ref starts his count. ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! Both Diaz and Gold crawl over to their corners and tags in McKinley and Star. Geoff Penzer: They both make the tag! Who can strike first!? McKinley throws out a clothesline. But Star ducks and runs into the ropes. When she returns, McKinley throws out another clothesline. But again, Star ducks and heads into the ropes. When she returns, she knocks McKinley down with a spinning heel kick. She makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . McKinley gets his shoulder up. Star picks up McKinley and whips him into the ropes. When he returns, Star goes for a running hip attack. But McKinley catches her in mid air and counters with a belly to back suplex. He makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Gold dives over and breaks up the pin. Geoff Penzer: Good counter by McKinley. But Gold was right on top of things and made the save. McKinley picks up Star and sets her up for a German Suplex. But he’s not able to deliver it because Star counters with elbows to the face. When the waist lock is broken, Star runs into the ropes. When she returns, McKinley flattens her with a discus elbow smash. He makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Gold dives over and breaks up the pin. Diaz marches over, takes Gold, runs and tosses him over the top rope… Geoff Penzer: Gold makes another timely save and Diaz has had enough! ...but Gold hangs onto the top rope. After pulling himself back up onto the apron, Diaz runs over to knock him off with a running European Uppercut. But Gold pulls down the top rope, sending Diaz over the top rope and to the floor. Diaz smacks the back of her head hard on the floor after she falls. Geoff Penzer: Diaz took a hard fall there! I hope she’s okay. Back in the ring, McKinley picks up Star and whips her into the corner. He motions to run across the ring. But Gold stops him. Gold grabs McKinley by the arm and spins him around. He throws out a right hand. But McKinley blocks and counters with a European Uppercut. He then turns around, runs back into the corner and goes for a Corner Splash. But Star moves out of the way, causing McKinley to crash into the corner. As McKinley stumbles back, Star runs over and brings him down with a Sling Blade. The Connection then pick up McKinley, deliver an arm wrench to both arms and then deliver a double inverted stomp facebreaker. Geoff Penzer: Golden Stamp! The crowd cheers as Star makes the cover. Gold stays on the lookout. ONE! . . TWO! . . THREE! “Get Fresh With You” plays over the PA as the crowd cheers. Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners, the GOLD STAR CONNECTION! The Gold Star Connection get their arms raised to cheers from the crowd. Geoff Penzer: The Gold Star Connection pick up the victory in their 3GW debut. These two looked solid out there. Unfortunately for Diaz and McKinley, this is another mark in the loss column for them. How will they bounce back? We’ll find that out in due time.

Recorder Earlier Today
It's late afternoon and a slender raven haired latina clad in jeans, a black tanktop and leather jacket is spotted wheeling a rolling luggage carrier towards the backstage entrance of the Center Stage Arena. As she approaches, a security guard of average build, looking to be in his thirties or so, stops her.
Security Guard: Hold on ma'am, can you stop right there please?
Obliging, the young woman stops and rolls her eyes.
???: I have a pass, I should be on the list; look for Gabi Beltran on it ...
He clears his throat before answering.
Security Guard: That's not the issue Ms. Beltran, I can't have you enter carrying that.
As he starts to gesture towards the handgun on her waist, she flatly cuts him off.
Gabi Beltran: Oh, that; calm your tits, I have a permit. It's out of state I know, but give me a break, it's for self-defense purposes.
Security Guard: Please remain calm, Ms. Beltran.
Gabi takes a deep breath, holding her hands out.
Gabi Beltran: I am calm, you're the one making a deal out of me trying to head to my job. If you really want, I can show you my permit.
As she starts to reach towards her luggage, the guard stops her.
Security Guard: No sudden movements please; just slowly place the gun on the ground.
After a short nod of the head, Beltran does so, all the while gritting her teeth.
Gabi Beltran: You're breaking my balls here ... what's your name?
Security Guard: Eric.
Gabi Beltran: You're breaking my balls here, Eric. Let me guess, next you're gonna want me to hand over my nunchucks and throwing stars --
Eric: I'm just trying to do my job here ... wait, what was that?
Gabi Beltran: -- Nothing, can I just go?
Eric uses his foot to slide the gun towards him.
Eric: I'm going to need to look in your bag there. Open it up please --
A beat.
Eric: -- Slowly.
She follows his instructions, muttering as she does so.
Gabi Beltran: You're kind of a dick, Eric, I bet you get trashed on Yelp. There you go, happy?
The now open rolling luggage is displayed for him, revealing some workout clothes and a manilla envelope with some paperwork in it. Security Guard Eric seems satisfied, but only for a moment until the clothes fall to the ground and the rest of the contents of the bag spill out -- namely a hatchet, nunchucks, throwing stars and a few daggers.
Eric: Hold on, I'm going to need you to stay right there.
He turns, calling into a walkie talkie for backup.
Eric: I don't know if this is some kind of joke you or --
Suddenly it dawns on him that she's disappeared in the brief split second his attention was diverted.
Eric: -- Motherfucker!

Amanda Johnson: Joining me at this time is Emily Carter.
(Emily Carter steps into the frame and pat Amanda on the shoulder.)
Amanda Johnson: Two weeks ago, you and Mercy teamed up in an 8-Man Tag Match. It looked like you guys had the match won. But there was some miscommunication between you guys which led to her losing the match for you guys. Afterwards, she shoved you. What going on? I thought you guys were good?
(Emily runs her hands through her hair.)
Emily Carter: I wish I knew what was going on. On the last show, Mercy was thrown into me, I fell off the apron and the next thing I know, Majima and his team had won the match. When the match finished, Jensen and Echo were helping me up and then out of nowhere, Mercy is getting in my face and yelling about this and that. Then she shoves me down.
(She shrugs)
Like, I understand she's upset because we lost the match. We were all upset. But I don't get where this whole issue with her came from. I've tried calling, I've tried texting, I've tried DMing but she hasn't responded.
Amanda Johnson: But she's clearly been interacting with other people since then, right?
Emily Carter: Interesting, right? I don't know what's going on in her head right now. If she's got a problem with me, we can talk it out. If she wants to take it to the ring and handle it there, then I've got no problem handling her inside the squared circle. But at the end of the day, I just wanna know if we're still cool because we do go back. Again, I'm not sure where her heads at. But I still consider her a friend. I just wanna some answers. That's all.
Amanda Johnson: Well I hope you get those answers, too.

★★★ Showcase Match - Singles ★★★ Ethan Thompson II vs. Susan Kent Susan appears on the stage and uses her hand to fans the crowd, she walks to the ring shaking hands with the fans, she climbs the ropes from the outside and waves to the fans, then climbs down into her corner and waits for her opponent. Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is set for one fall! Introducing first, from Wichita, Kansas! Weighing in at 132 pounds … SUSAN KENT! As “Gimme the Prize” by Queen begins to play, smoke begins to obscure the entryway. The first figure to emerge from it is beautiful, curvy, and clad in emerald green where she bothers to wear clothing. With a grandiose gesture to the smoke, another figure emerges. Geoff Penzer: Susan Kent was unsuccessful in her 3GW debut as she lost to Becker Gaines. She’s looking to pick up her first win on tonight’s show. But her opponent this week is a entirely different animal. In fact, it’s “The Emerald Lion” and he’s about to make his way to the ring. Melanie Sierra: Her opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Laila! Hailing from Seattle, Washington and weighing in at 241 pounds! He is “The Emerald Lion” ... ETHAN THOMPSON the SECOND! Ethan Thompson II wears a haughty smile on his face as he links arms with Laila, looking out over the crowd with what can only be called disdain. The pair casually walk towards the ring, climbing up to the apron on opposite sides. Laila slowly peels the robe off of the Emerald Lion, the two engaging in a kiss that can only be deemed “not appropriate for public” before the tattooed beauty slips down to the floor. Properly motivated, Thompson steps between the ropes, posing for his non-adoring public. A quick shadowboxing session later, and he’s ready for combat. Geoff Penzer: Ethan Thompson the Second had defeated Pedro Gonzales two weeks ago due to referee stoppage. But Thompson kept the attack on well after the match had already ended. This caused the referee to reverse his decision and award the match to Gonzales by disqualification. We’ll have to see if Thompson can keep his cool here tonight. The match starts with Thompson marching across the ring to attack Kent. But Kent is quick to sidestep out of the way. But Thompson keeps on her as he tries to cut off the ring. Once Kent finds her back against the ropes, Thompson lunges forward to attack. But Kent scurries out of the way. When Thompson turns around, the crowd cheers as he’s met with a series of knife edge chops. Kent goes for an irish whip. But Thompson uses his free hand to hang onto the top rope. So Kent goes for another irish whip. But again, Thompson keeps his free hand wrapped around the top rope. He then kicks Kent in the midsection before knocking her down with a hard European Uppercut. The crowd boos as Thompson then picks up Kent and shoots her into the ropes. When Kent returns, Thompson throws her down with a hip toss. He then goes to follows up with an elbow drop. But Kent rolls out of the way. After Thompson gets back to his feet, Kent takes him by the arm and wrenches it... Geoff Penzer: Good follow up there by Kent... … but Thompson is quick to respond with a body slam. He then follows up with a double stomp to the midsection. After Kent curls up and rolls over, Thompson delivers a knee drop to the back of the head. He then pulls Kent back over and makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Kent gets her shoulder up. Geoff Penzer: This is what Thompson loves. He loves to pound his opponents into the mat. This is about the worst place that Kent can be right now. She needs to get back on her feet and keep the distance. Thompson picks up Kent and whips her into the ropes. When Kent returns, the crowd boos as Thompson sends her flipping down to the canvas with a kitchen sink to the midsection. He drops down with a lateral press. ONE! . . TWO! . . Kent gets her shoulder up. Thompson picks up Kent and whips her into the corner. He then runs across the ring and into the corner, but Kent catches him by surprise with a European Uppercut. While Thompson is dazed, Kent climbs up onto the middle ropes, places Thompson in a front facelock and plants him with a Tornado DDT. The crowd cheers as she makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Thompson kicks out. Geoff Penzer: Good job there by Kent. But she only gets two. Kent picks up Thompson and goes for an irish whip. But Thompson reverses, sending Kent into the ropes. When Kent returns, she tries to slide through Thompson’s legs. But Thompson reaches down and catches her by the hair. Geoff Penzer: Oh no. This isn’t good... After slowly pulling Kent back to her feet, Thompson pulls back one arm and then goes for a head-held lariat. But Kent ducks. When Thompson turns around, the crowd cheers as Kent doubles him over with a kick to the midsection before delivering a sitout facebuster. She turns Thompson over and makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Thompson kicks out. Kent picks up Thompson and goes for an irish whip. But again, Thompson reverses and sends her into the ropes. When Kent returns, she delivers a hurricanrana. She then runs towards the ropes, hops onto the middle ropes and flips back for a lionsault. But Thompson gets his knees up. Geoff Penzer: Oh no! After Kent bounces off his knees, she turns over and curls up while guarding her midsection. Once Thompson gets back to his feet, the crowd boos as he pulls Kent over onto her back before delivering five double foot stomps to the midsection. He then drops down and makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Kent gets her shoulder up. Geoff Penzer: Thompson was just adding insult to injury there. Thompson picks up Kent, lifts her up and then throws her down with a front suplex across the top rope. Kent bounces off the top rope before falling down to the canvas. He then reaches down, yanks up Kent by the hair and shoots her into the ropes. When Kent returns, Thompson lifts her up, falls back and delivers a flapjack. After Kent bounces off the mat and rolls over onto her back, Thompson makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Kent gets her shoulder up. Geoff Penzer: Thompson’s really working over the torso area. You’ve got to wonder how much that’s taking out of her. Thompson picks up Kent, moves her into the corner and chokes her with his hand. The ref gives him until the count of five to break the choke. Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… Thompson lets go before whipping Kent into the opposite corner. He then runs across the ring, lunges into the corner and connects with the Fuckboy Express. After Kent crumbles from out of the corner, Thompson makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . THR-NO! Kent gets her shoulder up. Thompson picks her up before throwing her down with another bodyslam. He then heads into the corner, hoists himself up onto the middle ropes and waits impatiently for Kent to get up. Once Kent finally returns to her feet and turns around, Thompson goes for a diving clothesline. But Kent counters with a spinning heel kick. Geoff Penzer: Greta counter there by Kent! While Thompson is down, Kent rolls out of the ring and onto the apron. After pulling herself up using the ropes, she heads over towards the ring post before climbing up to the top turnbuckle. Once Thompson gets back to his feet and turns around, the crowd cheers as Kent leaps off and knocks him down with a missile dropkick. She makes the cover. She makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Thompson kicks out. Kent picks up Thompson and goes for an irish whip. But Thompson reverses, sending Kent into the corner. He then runs across the ring and lunges into the corner for another Fuckboy Express. But Kent moves out of the way, causing Thompson to crash into the corner. Geoff Penzer: He missed! As Thompson staggers back, Kent makes her way back into the corner, climbs up to the top turnbuckle, flips off and knocks Thompson down with a moonsault. She makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Thompson kicks out. Geoff Penzer: She almost had him! Kent steps out onto the apron before climbing back to the top turnbuckle. Once Thompson returns to a vertical base and turns around, Kent leaps off and goes for a diving cross body block. But Thompson catches her in mid air. Geoff Penzer: This isn’t good! This is not good! After shifting Kent across his shoulder, Thompson runs across the ring. But before he can slam her down, Kent slips down from behind and pushes Thompson into the ropes. When Thompson returns, the crowd cheers as Kent jumps up and delivers a Codebreaker. Geoff Penzer: Kent’s got him down again! While Thompson is down, Kent steps out onto the apron and climbs up to the top turnbuckle. The crowd cheers as she leaps off and connects with a Frog Splash. Geoff Penzer: The Photo-Op! After bouncing off of Thompson, Kent curls up and guards her midsection. She then turns, crawls back over towards Thompson and makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . THREE! “All Grown Up” plays to cheers from the crowd. Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match… SUSAN KENT! Kent gets her arm raised while the crowd continues to cheer. Geoff Penzer: Susan Kent has done it! She pulled off the upset tonight with a huge win over Eth- While Kent is celebrating a hard fought win, Thompson spins her around before knocking her down with a hard European Uppercut. The crowd erupts with boos as Thompson stands over her. Geoff Penzer: Ethan Thompson the Second nearly took Kent’s head off with that European Uppercut! And now look at him! Thompson drops down, mounts himself on top of Kent and hammers down with forearms to the face. The bell repeatedly sounds while the crowd boos. Geoff Penzer: Come on, Thompson!

We cut to the office of Jordan Cain where we find Shintaro Majima sat in front of Cain’s desk – yet instead of facing the Mayor of Hollywood, Majima is facing an empty chair, and judging by the look on his face he is not happy about having his time wasted nor the obvious lack of respect his boos is showing him.
As Majima continues to bristle, Cain walks through the door continuing the conversation he was having with Lindsay Harrington as he walked down the hallway
Jordan Cain: …and I have to say after that match, if you give me a hundred posters I’ll be putting Susan Kent’s face on ninety-nine of them, and it’d be a hundred if I wasn’t worried that ET2 would have hurt feelings.
Lindsay Harrington: Understandably.…
After walking through the door, forgetting to hold it open for Lindsay as he does so, Cain nods towards Majima and shifts his tone from the huckster who walked through the door shilling his product to anyone who would listen to someone doing a half-decent impersonation of a boss, while Lindsay slides behind her desk
Jordan Cain: Shintaro, glad you could swing by. Can I get you something? Soda? Coffee? You guys like sa-kay, right?
Trying to remain professional, Majima suppresses the urge to correct Cain for the last comment – but the clear narrowing of his eyes implies it’s something he is going to remember
Shintaro Majima: No.
Jordan Cain: Alright, alright, you want to get down to business.
Cain walks behind his desk and sits down, seemingly oblivious that Majima’s response was curt not because he wants to get down to business, but due to Majima having about as much respect for Cain as a spider has for the fly struggling in its web
Jordan Cain: So let’s get down to business. You and I know you had a little…”unfinished business” up in North Carolina, and I’m glad you’ve been proactive in bringing that subject to our audience’s attention because that’s the sort of thing that can print money: I can sell “The Stiff-Style Samurai wanting the title he never got the chance to earn” to every man, woman and child who watches our show, and a little word of mouth means a lot of…
Cain does the money hand gesture, nodding towards Majima to see if he agrees
Jordan Cain: So what d’ya think, you looking forward to earning me some money?
Finally getting a chance to speak, at first Majima takes a moment to look at Cain as a scientist would when they discover a new species: while it may look like something they know, everything else about it is completely alien
Shintaro Majima: Proving that I am the best competitor interests me, proving to myself that I am the best competitor interests me. Proving that I can win a title match when so many doubt that I can do so interests me. But making you a rich man?
The silence that comes with Majima’s pregnant pause only serves to make Majima’s dismissive snort more audible to those in the room
Shintaro Majima: Make no mistake, Jordan Cain, I have no interest in your finances.
Hearing this, Cain nods
Jordan Cain: Alright, alright, alright, you’re one of those guys, the ones who talk about “the purity of the sport” and all that jazz. So you want to win a title, I want to make a lil’ dough – and in the end we’re both winners, especially because I’m going to make a lot of dough in fifteen minutes thanks to you and Jensen. So what the hell, enjoy your match tonight, I know I’ll enjoy talking to my accountant in the morning.
Shintaro Majima: I am sure he will appreciate talking with you.
Once again an obvious insult flies under Cain’s radar, at which point Majima gets out of the chair and looks towards Lindsay - before he remembers one last thing and looks back towards Cain
Shintaro Majima: Sa-kay is what you call salmon. The word you were thinking of is sa-kee.
Rather than wait for Cain to respond, Majima turns and walks out of the office so he can focus his time and energy on something that actually matters to him – preparing for the 15 Championship match against Jensen Banks

★★★ Showcase Match - Singles ★★★ Pedro Gonzales vs. Jaelynn Ramsey "No Regrets" by the Sohodolls begins to play throughout the venue. A small cloud of smoke appears on stage, outlining the silhouette of a petite woman. The woman, revealed to be Jaelynn Ramsey walks through the cloud and onto the ramp. She walks down the ramp completely ignoring the fans. Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, this match is set for one fall. Introducing first, from Oakland, California … JAELYNN RAMSEY! She then walks up the steel steps, entering through the ring ropes. As the music fades out, she backs into a turnbuckle, doing a last second stretch before go-time. It starts the way all life starts. A heartbeat, heavy breathing, and darkness. The bass kicks in doubling the beat, the groove sneaks itself inside as a random assortment of lights flicker on the ramp way before a spotlight hits on a lone figure with a red hooded cape who shuffles his feet atop the ramp. He keeps his head down before unveiling himself as Pedro Gonzales by taking off the cape with a flourish. Melanie Sierra: Her opponent, from Mexico City, Mexico, weighing in at 115 pounds … PEDRO GONZALES! He spreads his arms out as he races past, slapping as many fans hands as possible before sliding into the ring. Geoff Penzer: Jaelynn Ramsey had a tough debut two weeks ago, losing to Peaches in the opening contest. Her opposition this week doesn’t get any easier as she faces LDFC stalwart, and Mexico City’s Favorite Son, Pedro Gonzales. The bell sounds to start the match as both competitors circle the ring for a few moments. The LA fans rallying behind Pedro as he and Jae lock up collar and elbow. Gonzales uses his speed to dive around the back as he pushes Ramsey against the ropes with a rear waist lock applied. Jaelynn holds on, however, clinging onto the top rope as Pedro rolls backwards and kips up to his feet. Again, both competitors circle the ring before locking horns. Jaelynn gains the upper hand this time as she catches her opponent with an arm drag, sending Pedro across the ring. As he gets back up and charges at his opponent, Pedro is caught by a clothesline! He gets back up, but another Jaelynn clothesline takes him right back down. Pedro gets up once again, but this time Jae is ready with a legsweep before dropping an elbow across his chest. She goes for the cover. ONE! . . Pedro kicks out. Ramsey gets back to her feet and stomps at her opponent, keeping Pedro grounded. She even runs against the ropes, coming back with a jumping knee drop to the forehead of her opponent before Jaelynn Ramsey lifts him to his feet. She backs Pedro into the corner with a flurry of elbow strikes. Ramsey repeatedly thrusts her shoulder into the midsection before going for the Irish whip, sending Pedro from pillar to post. But Gonzales runs up the turnbuckle and springboards off with a top rope arm drag! Geoff Penzer: There’s that athleticism of Pedro Gonzales coming into play. He may be a master of pins, but he can also hit attacks from anywhere! Both competitors scramble to get back to their feet as Pedro charges in with a flying cross chop! It knock Jae off her feet, but she’s quickly back to a vertical base as Pedro leaps up with a dropkick that sends Jae out through the ropes all the way to the outside. The crowd cheering as Pedro stands back up in the ring, taking a moment to catch his breath as Ramsey picks herself up on the outside. However, she looks around just in time to see Gonzales flying over the top rope with a no hands tope, and she can’t do anything to get out of the way in time! Geoff Penzer:Pedro rolls his opponent into the ring and follows her in with a hilo, before hooking a leg for the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Jae kicks out. His advantage doesn’t last long, however as Jae rakes the eyes as she’s lifted back to a vertical base. The referee admonishes her but Ramsey shakes it off as she regains her bearing. Some hard shots to the face rock Pedro, once again forcing him back into the corner. A snapmare takes him down to the mat, though, before the soccer kick to the spine causes Pedro to yell out in pain. Ramsey runs against the ropes, hurtling back in Pedro’s direction with a basement clothesline! Geoff Penzer: Jaelynn forcing her way back into this match. It may not be often she can outmuscle an opponent, but she’s got a good ten pounds over Pedro tonight. IF she can keep him grounded then Jae stands a real chance here. No pin attempt, however, as the scrappy young rookie drags Gonzales back to his feet and doubles him over with a toe kick to the midsection. She hits the ropes once more, this time coming back with a scissor kick. And Jae hooks a leg. ONE! . . TWO! . . Pedro kicks out! Undeterred, Jae drags her opponent back to his feet again and promptly throws him down with a body slam. A few more stomps for good measure keep Pedro grounded as Jae runs against the ropes again, coming back with driving elbow to the sternum. As she tries to pick Pedro back up the next time, though, the Mexican wrestler catches her with some punches to the midsection. The fans cheering him on as Gonzales mounts his comeback, working his way back to his feet as he’s still punching. An Irish whip sends Jae against the ropes, but she surprises Pedro with a headscissors takedown, sending the Mexican out of the ring under the bottom rope! Geoff Penzer: Jae out-flying the high-flying. What’s she go in mind here? Ramsey picks herself up again, taking a breather as she waits for Pedro to stir on the outside. As the luchador lifts his head up above the ring apron, though, Jae sets off against the far ropes, coming back with her Jaegerbomb! NO! Geoff Penzer: Oh my God! Pedro dives out of the way, and Jaelynn Ramsey hits the guard rail hard! The crowd seem to enjoy her pain though, laughing and cheering as Gonzales lifts her back to a vertical base and rolls her into the ring. Slowly but surely he follows her in, crawling across to make the cover. Geoff Penzer: Jaelynn Ramsey just took a hug hit into that guard rail, this could well be it. Pedro covers. ONE! . . TWO! . . THR-NO! Geoff Penzer: How did she kick out of that? Jaelynn Ramsey kicks out in the nick of time, and the crowd seem almost disappointed. Pedro sits up in shock, wiping the sweat from his brow before standing up again. He brings Jaelynn up with him as Pedro unleashes some knife edge chops to the chest. He backs her against the ropes before going for the Irish whip, which Ramsey somehow reverses. She haphazardly throws out a clothesline, but Pedro ducks under the arm and counters with a jumping reverse bulldog! Ramsey crashes to the mat and lays there motionless for a few seconds as Pedro hurries to the corner, leaping up to the top rope before flying through the air with a senton atomico! And the cover! ONE! . . TWO! . . THR-NO! Jae gets the shoulder up at the last second to keep this match going. Pedro performs a body slam to keep Jaelynn Ramsey grounded again as he moves towards the corner once more. This time he leaps off with a double foot stomp – but Jaelynn rolls out of harm’s way! Pedro manages to roll through, limping back to his feet as Jaelynn uses the ropes to drag herself to her feet. Gonzales charges in, only to get clocked by a superkick! She didn’t quite hit it properly though, as Pedro staggers backwards towards the center of the ring. Ramsey charges at him with a lariat, but Pedro ducks under and runs against the ropes, coming back with a bicycle knee strike to the face! Geoff Penzer: What impact on that knee strike there! Pedro has his opponent right where he wants her, he just need to capitalize on this advantage. Ramsey collapses, but tries to force herself back to her feet as Pedro springboards off the middle rope, landing on his opponent’s shoulders for a reverse hurricanrana! He spikes his opponent head first into the mat before covering with a jackknife pin! ONE! . . TWO! . . THREE!!! Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match … PEDRO GONZALES! Jaelynn kicks out a second too late this time, and Pedro escapes with the victory as the referee helps him back to his feet. Ramsey sits up in shock, unable to believe what just happened as she sees Pedro with his arm raised. Geoff Penzer: Pedro Gonzales picking up the victory tonight, but that was anything but decisive. Jaelynn controlled the large portion of the match, but she kicked out a second too late to save herself at the end. Ramsey rolls out of the ring, making her way backstage with her head hung low as Gonzales continues celebrating in the ring.

(Melanie Sierra is in the middle of the ring awaiting her cue to introduce the next match when suddenly the lights in the Center Stage Arena go out.)
Geoff Penzer: Woah! Sorry, fans, for the interruption but It seems we’ve had an unexpected power outage here in the arena. I’m sure Jordan Cain and the 3GW officials backstage are…
(Penzer is interrupted by the somber opening of “Angels & Demons” by The Enigma TNG playing in the arena.)
Geoff Penzer: Nevermind. This was premeditated.
(A segment of the crowd starts lighting up their cell phones as the spiritually moving song continues and a blue hue of light reveals a dark figure in the middle of the ring. The figure is definitely not Melanie Sierra as the crowd gives an uneasy response. A quick shot of Sierra shows her sitting on a chair at ringside and frantically telling the ring bell attendant that she doesn’t know how she got there. The shot returns to the figure in the middle of the ring wearing all black under a long trenchcoat and a face painted white behind strands of dark shoulder length hair. The music fades into the background as the figure slowly raises a mic to his lips.)
Dark Figure: 3GW…
(The dark figure’s tone is stoic yet a few members of the crowd seem to recognize the voice.)
Dark Figure: Behold, the day is coming when all the proud and lofty, all the highly exalted, will be humbled. The arrogance of people will be brought low and the pride of men and women will be broken. The human heart will lose its courage. People will look at each other in astonishment and grow pale.
(The dark figure pauses to let his words resonate with the hushed crowd.)
Dark Figure: Behold, the day of judgment is coming. A season of cruelty and wrath will fall upon this place and annihilate evildoers. I will punish this place for its evil and wicked people for their sin. I will put an end to the pride of the insolent and bring down the arrogance of tyrants. All will suffer Dark Justice. All will feel Unrighteous Indignation. And all will yearn for Eternal Sleep.
(Another pause.)
Dark Figure: 3GW… Behold the day is coming.
(Another pause.)
Dark Figure: For I am the embodiment of that wretched day. For I am… THE FALLEN ANGEL.
(The Fallen Angel drops the mic and the arena goes dark again. “Angels & Demons” grows louder once more. After a few moments, the music stops and the lights return but the ring is empty.)

★★★ Showcase Match - Singles ★★★ Terrance Tillman vs. Macy Dover "Turn Down For What" by Upon a Burning Body feat. Ice T begins playing throughout the arena as the crowd bursts out into a chorus of boos. Macy Dover steps out from behind the curtain, ignoring the fans as she marches down the aisle, heading towards the ring at pace. Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from National City, California … MACY DOVER! The fans continue booing as Macy climbs up onto the ring apron, posing for a moment before she steps into the ring. Geoff Penzer: A no nonsense approach – that’s what we’ve come to expect from Macy Dover. She made short work of Ash Scion and Adam Adonis at the end of the last episode, but tonight she’s set for action against this man… “Forever” hits and out comes Terrific Terry Tillman sporting a windbreaker jacket and shades. Tillman stops at the top of the ramp way and looks out over the fans before shaking his head in disgust. He walks down to the ring but stops halfway there. He looks at the fans booing him, smiles and begins to hop up and down shaking his arms and hands loose. Suddenly Triple T sprints the rest of the way to the ring sliding under the bottom rope. Melanie Sierra: And her opponent, from Orlando, Florida, weighing in at 230 pounds … ‘TERRIFIC’ TERRENCE TILLMAN! Triple T jumps up on the nearest corner and again looks out over the crowd before pointing at them. HE then points to himself with one hand, the ring with the other shouting "Greatness has arrived!" Soaking in the jeers from the fans Triple T raises his fist in the air with an arrogant smile. Geoff Penzer: Tillman started bright on the last episode, as well as a recent win over Nest at First Wave. Can he continue that momentum tonight? The bell sounds to start the match as both competitors circle the ring for a few moments before finally locking up collar and elbow. Tillman uses his size and strength to push Macy away and down to the mat. She rolls through and kneels there for a few moments as Tillman taunts her by flexing his biceps. So Dover gets back to her feet and they tie up again, only to have Tillman back his opponent up against the ropes. The referee calls for a break, which he gets as Macy pushes her opponent away and down to the mat. This time it’s Terrence’s turn to kneel there as Macy taunts him by kissing her biceps. Geoff Penzer: Never underestimate the strength of Macy Dover! It would appear as if these two are almost fairly evenly matched in that department. But Triple T has never been one to take an insult lying down, so he jumps back up to his feet and peppers Macy with some hard rights to the face. An Irish whip follows as Macy hits the ropes, before Tillman leaps up with a spinning heel kick! Both competitors scramble to get back to their feet as Triple T strikes first with a clothesline that knocks Macy right back down to the mat. She shakes it off and gets back up, only to walk into a body slam – with authority! Tillman runs against the ropes for momentum, coming back with a jumping knee drop before he makes the cover, hooking a leg. ONE! . . TWO! . . Macy kicks out. Tillman stands back up, bringing Macy with him, until she pushes his hands away from her hair. She fires off a couple of hard rights to the face before delivering an Irish whip, sending Tillman against the ropes. As he rebounds, Macy charges in with a leg lariat that knocks Tillman down to the mat. He scrambles to get back up, and Macy is ready for him with a huge elbow smash! Down goes Tillman, but he gets right back up as Dover strikes him with another elbow smash! She makes the cover, hooking a leg. Geoff Penzer: What an elbow! I felt that one from here. ONE! . . TWO! . . Tillman kicks out! Macy brings her opponent back to his feet, backing Tillman into a corner with a barrage of European uppercuts. Dover drops down to thrust her shoulder into the midsection of the LDFC stalwart, driving the air of his lungs before an Irish whip sends Tillman from pillar to post. She charges in after him, catching her opponent with an avalanche body attack. Tillman slumps to a seated position in the corner as Macy hits the ropes for momentum, coming back with a huge facewash! She moves Tillman out of the corner and covers. ONE! . . TWO! . . Tillman kicks out. Undeterred, Dover drags her opponent back to his feet and slams Tillman head first into the top turnbuckle. And again, and seven more times after that, until finally Terrence slumps back into the corner. Macy scoops him up and spins, throwing Triple T down with a body slam, before stomping at her foe. She ends that flurry of offense by twisting the sole of her boot into Terrence’s face, but picks him back up to a vertical base anyway. Macy throws her opponent down across the middle rope, ‘resting’ her knee across his back as the referee counts… Referee: One…Two…Three…Four… Macy breaks the choke as Terrence gasps for air. She runs against the far ropes while her opponent is dazed, coming back with a leapfrog body guillotine – NO! Tillman dives out of the way and Macy gets caught up in the ropes! It takes a moment to untangle herself, but Macy ends up on the apron as she turns around and gets tagged by a discus elbow smash! She’s rocked, but keeps hold of the top rope to steady herself as Terrence gathers his bearings, before leaping up with a picture perfect dropkick that sends Macy off the apron and crashing into the guard rail! Geoff Penzer: That had to hurt. Terrence Tillman may have just found a way back into this one though… The crowd nearby move out of their seats as Macy picks herself up, clutching at her ribs in pain. Meanwhile, Tillman steps out onto the apron, waiting there as Macy moves away from the railing … and Terrence moonsaults off the apron, delivering his DDTripleT on the outside! Geoff Penzer: That’s certainly one way to get back into the match! Dover is laid out on the outside as Tillman sits up, resting against the guard rails. He’s rubbing his throat, still gasping for air after all those attacks earlier. The referee restarts the count out. ONE TWO! Tillman stands back up, stomping at Dover a couple of times before moving her back to a vertical base. He slams her face first into the apron as Macy staggers away. THREE! FOUR! Tillman grabs his opponent by the hair and brings her in close for a knee lift to the midsection. An Irish whip follows as Macy is sent towards the ring steps – NO! She reverses the move, and it’s Terrence who slams back first into the steel! He yells out in pain, but Macy fails to capitalize as she drops to one knee, holding her ribs in pain again. FIVE! SIX! Macy rolls back into the ring, waiting there as she tries to catch her breath, but Terrence is still down on the outside. SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TE–Terrence rolls into the ring just before the ten count, saving himself. But Macy is right on him, stomping away at his back before he can get to his feet. Dover drags her opponent back to his feet, tagging him with some knife edge chops as he’s resting back against the ropes, before she runs across the ring, hitting the ropes for momentum. Macy leaps up with a running bicycle kick – NO! Tillman slides under the attack! He gets back up and waits for Macy to turn around before catching her with a leaping reverse STO! Face first, Macy crashes into the mat, and Terrence eventually manages to make a cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Macy kicks out! Geoff Penzer: How did she kick out of that one? Tillman sits up in shock as the referee assures him it was only a two count. The frustration beginning to set in as Tillman drags his opponent back to her feet, setting her up for the Chin Checka – NO! Macy catches the boot and counters with a dragon screw leg whip! Tillman rolls away holding his knee as Macy, slowly but surely, uses the nearby ropes to get to her feet. Tillman does the same on the opposite side of the ring as both competitors approach the center of the ring. Triple T swings with a right, which Dover ducks under and counters with an atomic drop. She hits the ropes and comes back with a clothesline, which Tillman ducks under and counters with a roundhouse kick! Macy stays upright – the light are on but nobody’s home – so Tillman hoists her up and drills Macy with a brainbuster! He covers. ONE! . . TWO! . . THR-NO! The crowd seem shocked, but nobody more so than Tillman as he sits up and stares at the referee. But he assures the Terrific One that it was only a two count. Macy isn’t moving much as Tillman lays in the boots, keeping her grounded. He steps out onto the apron and begins to climb, first to the middle rope then to the top, posing for the booing fans before finally leaping off with a 450 splash! Geoff Penzer: Skyfall! MISSES! Macy rolls out of the way, and Tillman eats canvas! He pops up to his knees, pain etched on his face as he clutches at his stomach in pain. But Macy is beginning to stir; she stands up and charges in with a shining wizard! And the cover by Macy Dover! ONE! . . TWO! . . THR-NOO! It’s Tillman’s turn to kick out in the nick of time, and Macy looks frustrated. She’s slow back to her feet, still feeling the beatdown Tillman put on her a few minutes prior, allowing Tillman chance to get back to his feet with the help of the ropes. As he stands back up, however, Macy charges at him and Cactus clothesline him over the top rope! Both competitors manage to land on their feet and continue trading punches at ringside, battling their way up the aisle as neither Macy nor Terrence seems to be able to get a clear advantage. As they pass through the curtain, however, the referee simply calls for the bell. Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has declared this match to be a NO CONTEST! Geoff Penzer: That certainly doesn’t seem to be a popular decision, but with Macy Dover and Terrence Tillman somewhere backstage battling this out, the referee had little choice. Maybe one day we’ll see a rematch and we’ll get a clear winner between these two.

The feed cuts out to static and after a while the face of a man tweaking the camera appears. He takes his hair off of his face, revealing himself as a Alexander Lyndon, after he just starts laughing, as he speaks.
Lyndon: “Brothers and sisters, tonight someone will walk away after his fifteen minutes of spotlight. Either Jensen or Shintaro will have their names etched in gold on the annals of 3GW history… but me… I stay in the shadows.”
A deep breath from Lyndon ensues, as he looks to the side, kind of disappointed by the fact that he stays behind the scenes, instead of going in front of the crowd.
Lyndon: “Yet, that wasn’t the case when this show tonight was announced. No, my brothers and sisters… tonight I was slated to appear in front of each and every one of you and show you exactly what I can do… but fate… fate would have it otherwise. Fate would have it with me lurking behind the curtain, with me watching from above…”
He points down as crowd noises are barely audible in this place, as he continues speaking.
Lyndon: “Watching every single one of the unsuspecting peers. Analyzing each and every one of them, as you scrutinize in your houses trying to figure out what your favorite would do next. Trying to figure out why do arbitrary hashtags get to your nerves and make you shiver. Trying to KNOW…”
A burst of laughter explodes from Lyndon as he looks directly to the camera and speaks.
Lyndon: “Soon…..”

★★★ Showcase Match - Singles ★★★ Prince MacRear vs. Peaches "Shit Shots Count" by The Drive By Truckers begins playing as Peaches bursts through the curtain with her arms outstretched to each side. She spins around as she slowly moves down the aisle, soaking in the crowd's cheers before picking up the pace. Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, this match is set for one fall! Introducing first, from Fayetteville, Georgia! Weighing in at 132 pounds… PEACHES! As Peaches climbs up the ring steps she removes her plaid shirt, tossing it to a fan in the audience, before finally vaulting over the top rope as she waits for the match to start. Geoff Penzer: Peaches makes her way to the ring and she’s got an...interesting...strategy heading into tonight’s match with Prince MacRear. We’ll see just how well that works for her. Peaches was finally able to get that singles win when she defeated party girl Jaelynn Ramsey. We’ll see if she can go 2-2 here tonight. "I'M BRINGING SEXY BAAAACK." As soon as the beat of “Sexy Back” by Justin Timberlake hits, smoke smoothly pours up from the entrance ramp, masking the actual entrance impossible to see. Prince MacRear emerges from the smoke mid-sequence, a smug grin on his demeanor while he jerks his hips. With a look on his face that can only mean he’s clearly enthused with himself, he does a twirl before continuing down to the ring, his phone his hand to take a quick selfie. MacRear takes turns shouting at the sky, yelling at fans, and twerking his backside at every chance he gets while taking selfies with his iPhone. Melanie Sierra: her opponent, from Hollywood, California! Weighing in at 191 pounds… PRINCE MACREAR! As he reaches the ring, MacRear sprawls across the apron and poses, almost model like, soaking the attention from the crowd. MacRear waves the fans off and rolls toward the middle of the ring. He takes one more selfie, sets his phone down on the canvas, and in a swift, exaggerated manner, takes off his zebra print jacket with the Valcone mask stitched on the back. Geoff Penzer: Prince MacRear was the first recipient of the Mayor of Hollywood’s media campaign with Mondays now being referred to as #MacRearMondays. But Mr. Cain’s media machine will not help out MacRear in this matchup. He’s going to have to take on Peaches all by himself. As the bell sounds, MacRear is rubbing his chin looking out at the crowd, waving them off as if to say the “Hollywood Nasties” were not worth his time. Peaches to her credit, bounced a half circle around the ring with her fists raised. They moved to lock up in the middle, but Prince ducked around and smacked her bottom. Then smelled his hand in disgust and then screamed at the referee. Geoff Penzer: Well, Peaches claimed to use a new defense in this match, not taking care of her grooming habits for a few days so that the Prince would truly be tangling with a nasty. And MacRear does not look pleased. Prince ducked over as Peaches charged, and he stepped halfway through the ropes, yelling at the referee to back her off and give him time. He stepped out on the apron and ran his “soiled” hand along the top rope dramatically trying to clean it. He was near the corner when Peaches ran over and smacked his head off the ring post, and MacRear fell to the floor clutching his head. Peaches backs off and then runs at him as he staggers to his feet, unleashing a suicide dive through the ropes onto MacRear that took both of them to the arena floor. Peaches rolled him back into the ring, and climbed the turnbuckle. She flew through the air and hit the Prince with a flying elbow drop, and hooked a leg covering… ONE! . . TWO! . . KICKOUT!Geoff Penzer: Peaches drilled that elbow right to the heart of MacRear, but it just wasn’t enough to put him away here! Peaches gets him up and whips him into the corner hard. As he staggers out, Peaches runs right at him for a spear, leaping… and MacRear drills her in the jaw hard with a European uppercut! Her head rocked to the side and she fell to the mat in a heap. Holding his chest, still feeling the effects of the elbow, he also held his nose voicing his disdain at how Peaches smelled. He even pretended he was about to throw up. MacRear put the boots to her now, stomping on her back and kicking at her ribs, dropping down to his knees to punch her about the face and neck. He rolled her over and choked her before the referee got him to break. Swearing innocence, he holds his arms up as he walks away from her, leaning on the ropes as he smirks out to the crowd. Peaches stands up, and the Prince runs back at her for a running boot to the face… but Peaches sidesteps and gets him in a school boy roll up out of nowhere! ONE! . . TWO! . . THR-NO! KICKOUT!Geoff Penzer: It definitely looked like MacRear had gained the advantage, but obviously Peaches still has some fight left in her! Peaches got to her feet and MacRear scrambled up and slammed her back down to the mat by yanking her by the hair. He slapped the mat and proceeded to show of a bit of chain wrestling skill, smoothly moving from a Russian leg sweep to a swinging neckbreaker and then finishing the sequence with a brainbuster. He placed his hands on her chest, not wanting to lay on her to make the cover… ONE! . . TWO! . . KICKOUT!Geoff Penzer: Look at that, MacRear doesn’t want to have to get any closer to Peaches than he has to, it seems her strategy is paying off here, folks! Peaches manages to get to her feet, but MacRear lies in wait and runs up behind her, hitting Uglified (Hurricanrana Driver). Not yet satisfied, he slaps his hands together and after a beat of thinking about it he hauls her up onto his shoulders looking for Damaged Goods (Go 2 Sleep). But Peaches manages to wriggle her way free and slides off his back somehow, falling to the mat. She rises back up as MacRear turns and steps over, and Peaches fires away several forearm shots to his jaw and chest, knocking him back. She whips him into the corner and follows him in with a running butt bump. She positions him and hits a tornado DDT out of the corner, and then looks over to the turnbuckles, pointing. The crowd gets on their feet as Peaches drags herself to the corner and climbs up. She leaps off for the Booty Drop (Top rope seated senton to supine opponent)… but MacRear rolled out of the way at the last minute! Peaches howls and grabs her rear as the Prince gets back to his feet, a sneer on his face. He picks up Peaches and lifts her for a pushup powerbomb into the turnbuckle, and she slumps down seated, her head on the bottom buckle. MacRear stands across the way and comes running at her full tilt… BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY ROCKIN' EVERYWHERE! Geoff Penzer: MacRear hit that big running thump right to the face of Peaches. Now she’s the one that looks disgusted. MacRear climbs the second buckle directly above her, and he’s jawing at the crowd. Peaches is in a daze and she rolls forward onto her hands and knees, crawling away from the corner, trying to put distance between herself and MacRear. MacRear looks down, then looks behind him and then a huge smile crosses his lips. He leaps off the second buckle and drives her face into the mat with the Face Mask (Jumping curb stomp). She slumps to the mat and he rolls her over, not eager to cover her but does anyway… ONE! . . TWO! . . THREE!!!Geoff Penzer: It looked like Peaches had a real shot here, but missing that Booty Drop, it seemed all downhill from there. And Prince MacRear made sure she made it all the way to the bottom of that hill tonight. Melanie Sierra: Here is your winner… PRINCE MACREAR!!!

(The scene shifts to a close up of two portraits. On the right, a portrait of Prince MacRear and on the left, a portrait of Becker Gaines. As the camera begins to zoom out, it’s clear that we’re in the office of the Mayor of Hollywood, Jordan Cain.)
Lindsay Harrington: So you were saying?
Jordan Cain: Right! So I was talking to my guy Zel, right.
(Jordan puts his hand on his chest after he catches himself.)
Jordan Cain: Oops, I'm sorry. You know of him as Denzel Washington. Me? I call him Zel because, you know, we've got that type of a friendship. Anyways, I was talking to my guy Zel, right? And I was like "Zel, you've played all these great roles, right? From Steven Biko to Malcolm X to Frank Lucas. You're regarded as some of the finest actors of our time. But I feel like there's one role that would put you over the top as the undisputed greatest of all-time." So I told him that he needed to take on the role of none other......... than Jordan Cain, agent to the stars.
Lindsay Harrington: Really? What did he say?
Jordan Cain: So then Zel tells me "Jordan. That's a great idea and all. You know, I would be honored to play the lead in your life story. But you've gotta understand that it's not gonna work for....obvious reasons."
(Jordan holds up his arm, rolls the sleeve of his shirt back and starts rubbing his forearm.)
Lindsay Harrington: That is true. So what did you say?
Jordan Cain: I laugh and I tell him "Zel! Zel! When you get on that screen, you immerse yourself into the role. When you're on the screen, people will become so lost in your brilliance, they won't even see color. They'll see you as me."
Lindsay Harrington: So what happened next?
Jordan Cain: Zel slid back in his chair, got up from his seat, clapped his hands and whispered... "My Man"
Lindsay Harrington: No way!
Jordan Cain: Yes way! I swear I can't make this stuff up!
(While the two continue to talk, a series of knocks are heard at the door)
Jordan Cain: Come on in!
(“Terrific” Terrence Tillman makes his way into the room)
Jordan Cain: Terrence Tillman, my man! What's shakin', bacon?
Terrence Tillman: What's shakin', bacon? That's not weird at all...anyway I'm good my man. Glad to finally meet you.
Jordan Cain: I feel you, cuz. I feel you. Say, check this out. Now as I'm sure you know, you were one of the people that I plucked from LDFC. I saw how good you were in the ring and I said to myself, "that's I guy I want on my roster." But here's the thing. A man like you should've been front and center in LDFC. That company didn't know what they had in you. You're a commodity! You have all the tools! But not just to be a player in 3GW, but a player in Hollywood!
Terrence Tillman: Well I wanted to focus on my wrestling career. You know, win titles. Showcase my skill in the ring. But living here now I wouldn't rule it out. What did you have in mind?
(Jordan begins rubbing his hands)
Jordan Cain: Hear me out. A fine brotha like you should be on the front cover of Jet and Ebony. A man like you should have documentaries and series on BET and TV One. Now I've got Viacom and Cathy Hughes on speed dial, so I can make things happen. All you have to do is play ball. So, is "Terrific" Terrence ready for primetime or nah?
Terrence Tillman: First off, Never call me a "Fine brotha"...like never. Second of all, although I am proud of my background and I am honored to represent my culture and community, the fact that you are so short sighted and narrow minded to think that the only things I can do is things geared towards black people, as well as speaking to me in a vernacular you learned by watching old episodes of Rap City on MTV, shows me that you lack the knowledge and respect it would take for me to even consider working with you. And third of all unless the word “Spalding” is printed on it…I...don't...play...ball.
(Realizing that the conversation is getting heated, Jordan quickly tries to calm things down.)
Jordan Cain: Hey now! I don't think you're hearing me, Tillman. I'm trying to make you into somebody. Now will you be as big of a star as Becker Gaines and Prince MacRear? HA, of course not! However, if you play your cards right, we can make #TerryTuesdays a thing. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. I can have a media campaign drawn up by Saturday. All you need to do is let me do my thing, make the right calls and I can turn Terrence Tillman into a household name..... as opposed to Maurice Graham's little brother. Now, did you finally catch that this time? Or do I have to spell it out slowly for you?
(Tillman takes two steps towards Jordan.)
Terry Tillman: Oh I understand what you are saying. Now I want to make sure you catch this… I don't now, nor will I ever need you to make me a household name. See I'm going to go to that ring, show after show and I'm going to outsmart, outmaneuver, and out-wrestle any and everyone you put in my path. Then I'm going to take your titles and make them worth more than the gold they are stamped on. I’ll be known as Maurice Graham's brother… the best in the business today, and anyone that faces me will me known as my bitch! And there ain't nothing you...the pretty boy...or that straight to Red Box has-been can do about it...but I invite you to try.
(And with that, Tillman storms out before slamming the door behind him. Tillman slams the door so hard that the Becker Gaines portrait falls off the wall.)
Lindsay Harrington: ......um, Mr. Cain?
Jordan Cain: Yeah?
Lindsay Harrington: Um, I don't think the meeting went as you planned.
Jordan Cain: ..... Ms. Harrington?
Lindsay Harrington: Yeah?
Jordan Cain: Shut up.

★★★ Showcase Match - Singles ★★★ Becker Gaines vs. El Grandé Malo The house lights dim slightly as the gentle sound of a piano playing gives way and the beat drops. Bursting from behind the curtain, El Grandé Malo stomps his way out onto the stage bouncing in time with the music. Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, this match is set for one fall! Introducing first, from Mexico, Maine! Weighing in at 205 pounds! He is “The Pride of Mexico, Maine” … EL GRANDE MALO! He hops and jogs down to the ring, slapping the outstretched hands along the way, before sliding into the ring and heading for the nearest corner. He scales the turnbuckles and continues to hype up the crowd before dropping down and stretching while waiting for the match to begin. Geoff Penzer: El Grandé Malo was successful in his 3GW debut as he defeated Colt Cooper two weeks ago. EGM is trying to go two for two tonight. But so is his opponent. “Hard to Handle” by the Black Crowes starts up on the PA, the opening drums kicking into the familiar beat of the old rock station hit. As it does Becker Gaines burst out from the curtain, a contemptuous smirk on his face as he takes in the crowd. After a moment he nods his head before making his way down the ramp to the ring, his stride a full, exaggerated swagger in time with the song. He takes the stairs up onto the outside apron, shrugging off his ring jacket and dropping it to the mats for someone else to pick up before he scales the turnbuckles from the outside. Melanie Sierra: His opponent, from Hollywood, California! Weighing in at 235 pounds … BECKER GAINES! He doesn’t take the time to showboat and instead just steps off the ropes and into the ring, walking over to his corner to await the start of the match. Geoff Penzer: Becker Gaines was the first, and thus far the only man to be named for the Red Carpet Rumble. Who will the other 19 competitors be. That remains to be seen. But the winner will become the first 3GW Paramount Champion. Gaines thinks that title is all but his. But I’m sure that Malo, as well as the rest of the roster, will have something to say about that. The match starts with both men engaging in a hard lock up. After jockeying for position, EGM places Gaines in a side headlock. But Gaines is quick to shove EGM off of him and into the ropes. When EGM returns, Gaines knocks him down with a standing shoulder block. He drops down and makes the cover. ONE! . . EGM kicks out. Gaines picks up EGM, moves him into the corner and nails him with a knife edge chop. EGM fires back with a chop of his own. Gaines then delivers another knife edge chop. EGM blasts back with another knife edge chop of his own. Gaines then gains the advantage after an eye rake. The crowd boos as he places EGM in a headlock and proceeds to rake his face along the top rope. After Gaines lets go, EGM stumbles into a nearby corner. Gaines then comes up from behind and rakes down across EGM’s back. He then turns EGM around and delivers three more knife edge chops. Gaines takes EGM and whips him into the opposite corner. Gaines runs across the ring. But EGM runs from out of the corner and cuts him off with a clothesline. After Gaines gets back up, the crowd cheers as EGM knocks him down with another clothesline. After Gaines gets back up, EGM throws him down with a scoop slam. Gaines returns to his feet, but EGM returns him to the mat with a dropkick. He makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Gaines kicks out. Geoff Penzer: Malo is staying right on top of Gaines. Malo is the more experienced of the two. He’s got championship experience from his time in Boardwalk Wrestling. There’s no doubt that Malo will rely on that experience when he decides to go after any of the championships here in 3GW. EGM picks up Gaines and goes for an irish whip. But Gaines reverses, sending EGM into the ropes. When EGM returns, Gaines goes for an irish whip. But EGM steps through it and counters with an arm drag. Gaines returns to his feet. But EGM is quick to bring him back down with an overhead arm drag. After Gaines returns to his feet, EGM brings him down with an overflow arm drag which sends Gaines rolling to the outside. While Gaines tries to take a breather on the outside, EGM runs into the far ropes. When EGM returns, he motions for a suicide dive. But he’s forced to slam the brakes when Gaines scurries out of the way. Geoff Penzer: The crowd is booing. But Gaines was wise to get out of dodge. So EGM drops and rolls to the outside to give chase. After rounding one of the ring posts, Gaines rolls back into the ring. EGM slides in after him. But before EGM can return to his feet, the crowd boos as Gaines puts the boots to him. He then drops three elbows across EGM’s back before pulling him over and makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . EGM kicks out. Gaines picks up EGM, presses him against the ropes and delivers a blistering knife edge chop. EGM then grabs Gaines, switches positions and delivers five knife edge chops.

He makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Gaines gets his shoulder up. EGM picks up Gaines, presses him against the ropes and delivers a knife edge chop. He delivers another chop, followed by a punch. EGM delivers another chop, followed by a punch. He then throws out another knife edge chop, followed by a punch. While Gaines is dazed, EGM turns and takes off into the far ropes. When EGM returns, Gaines takes EGM, runs and tosses him over the top rope. Gaines turns and walks back to the center of the ring with his arms in the air. But unbeknownst to him, EGM is hanging onto the top rope. Once EGM composes himself, he skins the cat and pulls himself back into the ring. When Gaines turns around, EGM runs over to attack. But Gaines ducks and counters with a back body drop over the top rope and to the floor. Geoff Penzer: Oh no! EGM just got back body dropped to the floor! He’s got to be hurt! The crowd boos while EGM can be seen arching his back in pain on the floor. Gaines rolls to the outside and puts the boots to EGM. He then reaches down, picks up EGM and throws him down with a scoop slam on the floor. Gaines reaches down, pulls EGM back up and delivers a scoop slam across the edge of the apron. After EGM bounces off the apron and falls back to the floor, Gaines picks up EGM and delivers a snap suplex on the floor. Geoff Penzer: Gaines is showing absolutely no remorse for Malo! Gaines rolls back into the ring and tells the ref to count him out. ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIG- EGM slowly pulls himself up onto the apron. Gaines then heads over and delivers a stinging chop. After a shoulder thrust through the midsection, Gaines takes EGM and goes for a vertical suplex back into the ring. But EGM slips down from behind. He then tries to wrap Gaines’ arms from behind to deliver an arm trapped German Suplex. But Gaines takes his free arm and wraps it around the top rope. But EGM won’t let go. So the ref goes over and tries to pull EGM off of Gaines. While this is happening, Gaines delivers a mule kick, which results in boos from the crowd. Geoff Penzer: Gaines just low blowed Malo! After EGM crumbles to the mat, Gaines turns around, drops down and makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . TH-NO! The boos turn to cheers as EGM gets his shoulder up. Gaines sits up EGM and applies a rear chinlock. The ref asks EGM if he wants to give up.

The ref then gives Gaines until the count of five to break the hold. Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… Gaines lets go. As he returns to his feet, he reaches down and slowly picks up EGM.

When EGM returns, he hurls himself over the top rope and knocks down Gaines with a leaping somersault plancha to the outside. Geoff Penzer: Malo goes for something high risk and connects with that aerial maneuver. But it may have taken just as much out of him as it did Gaines. While both wrestlers are down, the ref starts his count. ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentlemen, since neither man was able to return to the ring by the count of ten, this match has been ruled a DOUBLE COUNT OUT!

★★★ FEATURED CONTEST ★★★ 15 CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH JENSEN BANKS vs. "The Strong Style Savior" SHINTARO MAJIMA As the opening of "There's A Storm Coming" filters through the PA system a combination of gold and reddish-orange lights flicker in the entranceway in sync with the keyboards - until the intro is interrupted by a combination of brooding synths and haunting, almost ethereal vocals that greet Shintaro Majima as he walks through the curtain into the arena, and without a second's hesitation he begins to walk down the ramp towards the ring Once he reaches ringside Majima climbs the ring steps and steps into the ring, loosening his robe and removing his sunglasses before he walks towards the corner he has decided is his, at which point he removes his robe and places it and his sunglasses in the corner as he wipes the back of each hand in the palm of the other in preparation. Geoff Penzer: We’re about to get set for tonight’s main event! It’s Jensen Banks vs. Shintaro Majima for the 3GW 15 Championship. All 15 Championship Matches will have a 15 minute time limit. The only way to win the title is by pinfall or submission. A count out or a DQ for either man tonight will not win them the championship. Also, there isn’t an overtime period. So if neither man is able to score a fall within the 15 minute time limit, the match will be declared a draw. So both men are really gonna have to go after it in this one. Shintaro Majima was more or less robbed of his chance at the Old North Championship after becoming the #1 contender. Tonight, he’s being given his chance to challenge for the 15 Championship. Once the beat of “The Outside” by Red kicks in, the curtains are pulled open and Jensen Banks steps out, nodding his head, wearing his black hoodie over his head. As he bobs his head to his music, Jensen slowly makes his way down to the ring, even mouthing the words to his theme. He slaps hands with some of the fans before reaching ringside, where he slowly removes his hood from over his head and unzips his hoodie. Jensen tosses his hoodie to the side and quickly slides into the ring before going over to the nearest corner and climbing to the middle turnbuckle. Flashing a small grin, Jensen points to himself before dropping down and leaning in his designate corner, waiting for the match to start. Geoff Penzer: Jensen Banks was the reigning Old North Champion as the time of LDFC’s closing. He was pencilled in to defend his championship against Majima. But the match never took place. Now here both men are. They’re several thousand miles out west. But they’re finally across the ring from each other, one on one, with a title on the line. Can Banks add another championship to his name? He’s had one heck of a 2016. Becoming the first 15 Champion would make his year even better. But can he get past Shintaro Majima? Can he send The Strong Style Savior to Bank Shot City? We’re about to find out right now! Melanie Sierra: Ladies and gentleman, this match is set for one fall is a 15 minute time limit. It is for the 3GW 15 Championship! The lights are turned down low as a spotlight shines down on both Majima and Banks. Melanie Sierra: Introducing first, from Gifu, Japan! Weighing in at 242 pounds! He is “The Strong Style Savior” … SHINTAROOOOO MAAAAAJIIIIMAAAAAAA! The crowd erupts with boos while Majima continues to stare down Banks from his side of the ring. Melanie Sierra: His opponent, from Brooklyn, New York! Weighing in at 211 pounds … JEEEEENSEEEEEN BAAAAAAAANKS! The crowd explodes with cheers while Banks gives them a nod. Once the house lights come back on, Majima shows off the championship to all sides of the crowd before handing it off to the timekeeper. He then calls for the bell. The match starts with both men circling the ring before locking up. After jockeying for position, Majima uses his strength advantage to move Banks across the ring. As Majima presses Banks against the ropes, the ref gives both men until the count of five to break it up. Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… Both men make a slow, clean break. Majima then throws out an overhand chop. But Banks ducks and counters with a punch to the face. Geoff Penzer: Banks was ready for that one! The crowd cheers as Banks socks Majima with a right hand that turns him around. Majima comes back and gets caught by another right hand. This one sends Majima staggering back a few steps. After a kick to the midsection, Banks takes Majima and whips him into the ropes. Banks throws out the Bank Shot, But Majima hangs onto the top rope. Banks holds his thumb and index finger about an inch apart. Geoff Penzer: This match was that close to being over. Banks knows the sense of urgency in this 15 minute contest so he’s wasting little time trying to put this one away. Both men circle the ring before locking up. Majima then ducks under, goes behind Banks and applies a waist lock. The hold doesn’t stay on for long as Banks elbows him in the face. He then performs a standing switch and applies a waist lock of his own. Majima then reaches down, grabs onto one of Banks’ legs and pulls, sending Banks down to the canvas. Majima then turns around and tries to apply a submission. But Banks uses his free leg to shove Majima down to the canvas. After both men return to their feet, Banks applies a side headlock. But Majima is able to shove Banks off of him and into the ropes. When Banks returns, Majima delivers a standing shoulder block. But Banks stays on his feet. Banks then calls for Majima to try it again. So Majima turns and runs into the ropes. When he comes back, he goes for a running shoulder block. But again, Banks is able to stay on his feet. Both men then get in each others’ faces. Geoff Penzer: Things are getting heated! Majima steps back and points to the far ropes, daring Banks to try and knock him down. So Banks takes off into the ropes. When he returns, the crowd boos as Majima throws him down with a Uragaeshi. He makes the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Banks kicks out. Majima picks up Banks, moves him into the corner and delivers a knife edge chop. Banks answers back with a chop of his own. So Majima blasts him with another knife edge chop. Banks then comes back with a chop of his own. Majima then delivers a blistering knife edge chop. Banks then answers back with a chop of his own. He then nails Majima with another chop… and another… and another. Majima responds with machine gun chops to the chest. He then sets Banks slumping down in the corner as he delivers a series of Mongolian Chops. Majima then chokes Banks while pulling down on the top rope. Ref: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… Majima lets go to take off into the far ropes. When he returns, he goes for a running knee. But Banks ducks and rolls out onto the apron, which causes Majima’s knee to crash against the turnbuckle. As Majima limps away from the corner, Banks rolls back in, gets to his feet, runs up from behind and kicks Majima’s leg out from under him. He then wraps up Majima’s legs before turning him over into a gorilla clutch. Geoff Penzer: Banks locked on a submission! The ref asks Majima if he wants to give up. When Majima refuses, Banks applies more pressure. Geoff Penzer: Majima has got nowhere to go! Banks has him right where he wants him! The longer this move stays on, the worse it’s going to be for Majima. However, Banks has to take note of the time. If he can’t get the submission and this thing ends in a tie, then neither man gets the championship. The ref continues to check in with Majima and asks him if he wants to give up. When Majima refuses, Banks applies even more pressure. Geoff Penzer: Majima is trying to block out the pain. We’re just a little under five minutes into this one. There’s still plenty of time left. But Majima’s gotta get out of this somehow. Majima groans as he tries to pull himself across the ring. Banks keeps the hold applied and tries to get the submission victory. But Majima is refusing to tap. Majima continues to try and pull himself across the ring. As Majima reaches out towards the ropes, Banks drags him back towards the center of the ring, changes positions and rolls Majima over into a Bow & Arrow. Geoff Penzer: Banks applies yet another submission! The ref ask Majima if he wants to give up. But Majima refuses. Geoff Penzer: Majima, to his credit, is resisting the urge to quit. He’s been waiting for a singles championship match for so long. He doesn’t want to give up on it now, especially by submitting. But this is really working over the back and the knees. But especially the back. Banks continues to try and get Majima to submit. The ref continues to get in with The Strong Style Savior and asks him if he wants to give up. But again, Majima refuses. So Banks releases the hold before making the cover. ONE! . . TWO! . . Majima gets his shoulder up. Banks picks up Majima and whips him hard into the corner.

ONE! . . TWO! . . THR-NO! Majima gets his shoulder up. Geoff Penzer: Another close call there for The Strong Style Savior! Banks picks up Majima and sets him up for a standing shiranui.

Majima stares at the championship before raising it over his head with both hands. Geoff Penzer: Shintaro Majima becomes our first 15 Champion! But who will his first defense be against?
