The Coliseum - Los Angeles, CA.
EVENT DATE: Feb. 18, 2018

=====
EARLIER TODAY
=====
The familiar black SUV creeps to a stop and the two large unnamed henchmen step out of the driver and passenger doors and step to the back doors to open them both. On one side Tony Savage steps out and on the other the GWD American Justice Champion and winningest competitor on the roster, steps two feet onto the pavement and slams the door shut. The championship strap hangs over his shoulder as all four men make their stride, dressed in all black suits and they are approached by none other than Nigel Astin, the GWD reporter who is sporting a loud beyond belief hi-liter orange blazer coat. Just, yuck.
NIGEL ASTIN: Excuse me champ, can I get a word?
They slow their stride and Mark Storm removes his sunglasses.
MARK STORM: What's on your mind?
NIGEL ASTIN: What can we expect from this newly formed alliance here?
MARK STORM: What can you expect?
Storm looks around at the other members of their group. Savage steps up and leans of Storm's shoulder and talks at the microphone.
TONY SAVAGE: Did you see what happened at the press conference? Expect a lot of that.
The henchmen shoves the camera and we lose the feed.
The GWD Fans file in and take their seats in the Coliseum. It's business as usual amongst the Global Wrestling Division as they kick off Day One, of the GWD Global Heritage Festival! Fans arrive with signs, merchandise, replica belts, Mark Storm t-shirts, you name it, there's a good chance someone has a representation of it. The ring set up is the same, but Mr. Roerich has invested in black guard railing instead of silver. The ring ropes are orange and blue with the turnbuckles, posts, and ring skirts all black as usual. The GWD globe is printed in the center of the ring and we see Britney Anders, Kelsi Minx, and David Rollins taking their seats behind the announce table near ringside.
DYNAMITE: HOLY MOLY IT'S REAL!! GWD IS LIVE ONCE AGAIN AND WE ARE SET TO KICK OFF THE GLOBAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL!!!
THE DOLL: This is what it's like being on commentary, eh?
MINX: If you missed Puroresu, you missed out on a hellacious event. Tapioca Joe walked out as the Immortal Kingdom Crown winner and Mark Storm is yet to taste defeat!
DYNAMITE: That very well could happen when he steps into the ring against Chris Crippler for the last time!
MINX: You actually took a vote against God? Where is your faith?
DYNAMITE: Don't mock me Kelsi. This is serious! In a matter of days the state of Global Wrestling Division will be at stake.
MINX: Anyways, today is the first day of the Global Heritage Festival and today we will watch six first round matches held under standard rules. 12 competitors will begin, only 1 will leave as the Global Heritage Champion!
DYNAMITE: Let's also take a moment to welcome our new colleague in "The Doll" Britney Anders.
MINX: Welcome. Welcome.
DYNAMITE: We are so glad to have you here.
THE DOLL: Thank you.
MINX: Don't you have an apology to make still?
THE DOLL: So, it's been a hell of a past couole of weeks on twitter hasn't it? Press conferences have been pretty intense don'tcha think?
DYNAMITE: They certainly have. The Dogs of War brought harm to Sammy Duke the first day and then Jamal Scott a few days later.
MINX: They were fined a pretty penny and they didn't seem to care about dropping two thousands dollars each.
THE DOLL: It's quite true. Of course, we should really be talking about how I am going to sew Mark Storm for injuring me intentionally.
MINX: Just apologize.
MARK STORM: You know... I'm getting sick and tired.
The voice belongs to Mark Storm and a chorus of boo's echo as emerging from the back is Your Hero and Mine. His championship belt around his waist, wearing his Your Hero and Mine t-shirt, despite not being in action the current American Justice champion has made an appearance ahead of the Global Heritage Festival and you can tell by the look on his face, he's not happy.
MARK STORM: People wanna question my reign, question my decisions, question everything I do and why? Because they don't like it? Because they want to see a better Global Wrestling Division? Lemme tell you right now that without me this company wouldn't be mean jackshit in the great scheme of things. Without me, all those complainers, all those people who are banding up right now and forming a resistance callin' themselves the 'Honor Guard' - without me you wouldn't have a job. You wouldn't be able to make it through the months to provide for your families. Without me... you'd be nothing.
I'm the reason why this company is relevant. I'm the reason why talent is pouring in here and keeping the lights on. Kendrick Kross, he's here because of me, because he wants to take my championship and I can respect that, I really can. But if Kendrick wants to align himself with a group of ungrateful assholes then I can't respect him. All of a sudden he's stepping up to the plate and calling me out on twitter, like he matters - like I really care about what someone like Kendrick Kross thinks. But I'll tell you what I think about Kendrick Kross. He's a guy who's trying to make himself relevant by name dropping and picking out the best of the bunch, me. You've been here for what... three weeks? And now you're best friends with Sammy Duke and Tapicoa Joe? No, I don't buy it. You don't like them you're just using them as a pedestal, using them to make people think you matter when you really don't. But go ahead align yourself with those two and see what happens.
He walks down the entrance ramp, shaking his head sideways as he ignores the boo's and jeers from the audience. He rolls himself into the ring before demanding a chair to be thrown into the ring. He catches the chair and plants it dead in the center of the ring before sitting on it. He runs his fingers through his hair and allows the boo's to die down.
MARK STORM: And now Ethan wants to fine me? After everything I've done for this company. After everything I've done for him and this is how he repays me? You know, you're a lot of things Ethan but I didn't have you down as an idiot. Because the move you've made it's an idiotic move by an idiotic man and now I see where you stand with all of this. Now I know where your loyalty lies and it makes me question whether this place deserves someone like me. I'm the hero you deserve. I'm the hero you need but for some reason, you wanna treat me like the villain?! For some reason, in your story, I'm the bad guy but that doesn't make sense, does it Ethan? That doesn't make sense because how can the bad guy constantly pack shows since DAY ONE of business? People weren't here to see Deacon Crane or Britney Anders, or even Chris Crippler. They were here to see me and ever since then that's been the same story week in and week out, I've packed out shows and sold tickets faster than any motherfucker in the back! THAT'S ALL BEEN ME! Not Sammy Duke. That guys as ugly as my left ball sack. In fact, my left ball sack is probably prettier than he'll ever be. Not Chris Crippler. Time and time again he's been beaten and somehow, someway he manages to get a title match? Bias. And certainly, not Tapocia Joe.
"TAP - TAP - TAP!"
"TAP - TAP - TAP!"
"TAP - TAP - TAP!"
MARK STORM: You wanna know how I feel about all of this? I feel disappointed. Because even after everything I've done for this company, you people wanna boo me and ridicule me and tell me that I'm not worthy to have this championship belt! After everything I've done, you people wanna 'hashtag' stand with Sammy. After everything I've done, you people still don't realize that the only thing that's real in this company, is me. And hell, Tony too! You see Tony, he saw an opportunity and snatched it with both hands! Tony recognizes real and that's why he's a Dog of War. That's why he's the best thing about this dump. But he'll get mistreated too because he knows the truth. And the truth is, this company doesn't care about people like me or him. But they should. Because if they continue to mistreat talent like us then we'll just up and leave. Hell, I'll take this championship belt and defend it over in Four Corners Wrestling, a place where at least the fans fucking respect me. Heck, maybe I'll even go back to Extreme Wrestling Corporation... but I don't know, somehow they'll still manage to fuck me over, too and gift the title to Drake or maybe even Xplode!
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
MARK STORM: What I'm saying is that if you continue to disrespect me, then I'm gonna leave with this American Justice Championship and I can promise you this, I'm going to be holding onto this title for the entirety of my contract. I've got four months left and I can think of a dozen places that'll be happy to see my face walk through their doors. You don't deserve me... you don't deserve Tony Savage... and you definitely don't deserve my American Justice title. From Your Hero, and Mine.
Dropping the microphone and Short Change Hero by The Heavy begins to play.
MINX: Wow...His ego is through the roof.
THE DOLL: Words from a God I suppose. He's still no goddess like me.
DYNAMITE: It appears our first match is about to begin.
LYOTO SILVA: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with a twenty minute time limit, and it is a Quarter FInal match in the Global Heritage Festival tournament!
====
[- GLOBAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL TOURNAMENT -]
QUARTER FINALS ROUND
Nameless -vs- Melody Marshall
====
Inside the arena, the lights dim and the a blue hue takes over the stage / ramp area. Smoke fills the entrance way as emerging through it to the sounds of "Spirit Of A Believer" is Melody Marshall. She is introduced the ring announcer as she slaps the hands of some lucky fans ringside before sliding into the ring. She kneels down and points a finger in the air as streamers fall atop her.
LYOTO SILVA: Entering first, the Battle Angel....MELODY MARSHALL!!
MINX: Melody Marshall came so close to achieving the Immortal Kingdom Crown at Puroresu a few weeks ago.
DYNAMITE: It was an amazing event. An amazing night. An amazing--
MINX: We get the picture Rollins.
Back In Black by AC/DC hits the airwaves. As the cameras focus on the stage.. the stage instantly fill's with stage smoke. After a moment passes, Namelss walks directly through the smoke towards the ring. Nameless makes his way around the ring then climbs onto the apron. As he stares in the middle of the ring.. The music fades before Nameless climbs through the ropes into the ring.
MINX: You can see the visible bandages he still has from his match with Sammy Duke.
DYNAMITE: Melody Marshall has one hell of a mountain to move.
DING! DING! DING!
The bell sounds and the fans are instantly pleased as Melody Marshall doesn't back down from Nameless as he charges forward. Marshall uses her speedy to execute a step up enziguri on Nameless, forcing him to slow down a bit. She keeps the pace in her favor and immediately lands a basement dropkick to the shins. Nameless drops to the canvas but he hobbles back to his feet quickly. Marshall delivers power strikes but Nameless just absorbs them and plows throw the Battle Angel, shoving her into the turnbuckle and knocking the wind out of her partly.
MINX: Melody Marshall nearly created an opening for herself.
Nameless grabs Marshall by the collar of her attire and tosses her across the ring like a rag doll. She skips around like a rock on water and rolls into the turnbuckle. She some how pulls herself to her feet, still disoriented and just barely dodges the splash from Nameless. Nameless smacks the turnbuckles and Melody Marshall flies in and connects with a super kick! Nameless falls down immediately. Marshall makes a cover,
...1!...
...KICKOUT!...
DYNAMITE: It's going to take more than that to keep Nameless down.
Nameless throws his arms up and Melody Marshall flies into the air and lands on the referee. PJ shakes off the bump and gets out of the way as soon as possible. Nameless grabs Melody Marshall and lifts her into a gorilla press and walks in a circle, delaying the inevitable before dropping her onto his shoulder and slamming her to the canvas via a powerslam! Nameless pins her and PJ drops down to count,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
MINX: Ooo Nameless nearly had a victory there.
Melody Marshall throws her arms in the air. Nameless pulls Melody Marshall to her feet and Melody Marshall breaks free and starts delivering stiff punches and buzzsaw kicks to the inner thigh, breaking down the monster one limb at a time. Melody slings into the ropes and as she fires out she is hit by the running crossbody from Nameless. Marshall hits the mat like a sack of potatoes and Nameless quickly rises up to drop an elbow across her sternum before making a cover.
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
MINX: And a near fall by Nameless.
DYNAMITE: You've got to wonder what can actually help Melody Marshall defeat Nameless?
MINX: She's got the skillset, she'll find a way.
Nameless throws Melody Marshall into the ring ropes and doubles over. Marshall flips over Nameless and runs for the ring cables. She shoots out just as Nameless is fully turned around and nails him with a running high knee that lands perfectly on his jaw! Nameless stumbles backward and bounces out of the ring ropes and swings a big lariat attempt against Marshall. Marshall ducks under it and stands her ground for Nameless' next attack. Melody leaps at Nameless but he catches her in mid air and slams her down to the canvas using a spinning spine buster!
MINX: Nameless is a such a force!
DYNAMITE: Yeah, an immovable force.
Marshall fights back to her feet and refuses to back down from Nameless. She goes for a savate kick but Nameless catches her feet and she immediately switches legs and connects with a mule kick. Marshall lands on her feet and quickly connects with a spike ddt! Melody Marshall makes a cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
MINX: Hey Anders.. that apology.
Melody Marshall waits patiently as Nameless begins to rise to his feet and she starts to deliver shoot kicks to the rib cage and spine. She walks around Nameless in circles, never standing in one place for too long. Nameless waltzes himself right into Marshall's path and she performs a tornado ddt! Nameless lay on the canvas motionless.
MINX: Make the cover Melody! Make it happen!
DYNAMITE: Melody Marshall is heading to the top rope.
MINX: What's she got in mind?
The cameras flash as Melody Marshall lands a frog splash on Nameless and hooks the leg,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
DYNAMITE: Phew! Close call.
THE DOLL: Very close call. An impressive frog splash also, a very unique variation.
MINX: Melody Marshall was on her way to the semi-finals round. Or so we thought. She has all the ability to lead the Global Heritage Championship division.
Melody Marshall goes for the standing 450 but Nameless rolls out of the way at the last minute. Nameless pulls Marshall to her feet and slams her to the mat with a sidewalk slam. Nameless makes a cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Nameless rises with anger and fire in his eyes and he pulls Melody Marshall to her feet.
DYNAMITE: This doesn't look good for the Battle Angel.
MINX: It doesn't look good at all.
THE DOLL: It looks like what would happen if I stepped in the ring with either of these two.
MINX: So you're still owing us an apology, why?
DYNAMITE: Don't go there Minx. Not now.
MINX: Like.. why though?
THE DOLL: I'm ignoring her Rollins. Who is that?
A man in a security guard suit wielding a club hops the guard rail. Nameless sees this man and slides out of the ring on the other side.
MINX: Who is that?!
DYNAMITE: I have no clue!
THE DOLL: Who is this person?
Nameless sprints up the aisle toward the back. The guard with the club sprints after him, leaving Melody Marshall alone in the ring to rise to her feet, catching her breath just as the referee reaches a count of five.
...6!...
...7!...
...8!...
MINX: This one looks like it's going to end with a victory for Marshall.
...9!...
...10!...
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: Your winner, by count out...MELODY MARSHALL!!!
Melody Marshall gets her hand raised and the fans give a shallow cheer as a much better match could have been given to them had the antics not occured. Melody even exits the ring mildly angered and chatting with the fans about how she is also upset about the interference.
THE DOLL: So, Melody Marshall will advanced to tomorrows round of tournaments, this is exciting. She is first to make it into the next round.
Cameras take us backstage to the locker room area where we see the Dog's of War standing over Sammy Duke. Duke is crawling on all fours, damp hair, and the two large henchmen along with Tony Savage, watching and stalking him as he moves further away from them and the fans can be heard booing faintly.
THE DOLL: Pardon me but... hahahahahahahahahaahhha...I'm sorry this is so-- hahahahaha..
MINX: This is just awful.
DYNAMITE: Poor Sammy Duke. He had it good while it lasted.
THE DOLL: Hhahahahahahahha oh my gosh... This is awesome.
MINX: He's scheduled to compete next!
They make it into the hallway and the Dogs of War take off in the opposite direction just as Kendrick Kross and Tapioca Joe arrive.
KENDRICK KROSS: They can't keep doing this!
Sammy sits up, in a bit of a daze.
SAMMY DUKE: I'm alright. They just shoved my face in the toilet and through flour in my face.... felt like high school all over again. But I am fine.
MINX: Roerich may have a serious issue here.
DYNAMITE: Whatever the situation is, perhaps Super Stacy can help out?! ..Wait.. where is she going?
The cameras take us to the backstage area where Stacy Sterling can be seen wheeling her luggage behind her and heading toward the double doors. Out of nowhere Tony Savage and the other three Dogs of War enter the frame and jump on Stacy. Savage trips her up just as the GWD American Justice champion shoves her and she goes flying through the glass door!
MINX: What the hell?!
DYNAMITE: Oh my gosh we better get some help for her.
THE DOLL: The Dog's of War are on a warpath right now.
MARK STORM: Somebody call Roerich.
He bursts into laughter as Tony Savage throws a large wad of cash into the air and the Dogs of War members begin leaving frame slowly.
TONY SAVAGE: There's enough for her medical bills, fixing the door, and even enough to resign both of us.
He gives a big arrogant thumbs up before exiting the frame as well. An ambulance is seen arriving in the parking lot and other medical staff members arrive to check on Stacy Sterling.
MINX: This one is going to happen early! These two will be fighting all night.
DYNAMITE: Try all week. This heated rivalry between pretty much the GWD roster and the Dogs of War is getting more intense by the minute.
We return and Sammy Duke and Tony Savage are fighting each other down the aisle and heading toward the ring.

[- GLOBAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL TOURNAMENT -]
QUARTER FINALS ROUND
Sammy Duke -vs- Tony Savage
====
DING! DING! DING!
The bell sound and Sammy Duke attacks Tony Savage immediately with punches, eventually backing him into the corner. Duke grabs hold of the top ring cable and starts delivering the boots to Savage with more aggression than we have ever seen from Sammy Duke. The fans roar for Sammy.
THE DOLL: Why do they like this little worm?
DYNAMITE: Boy is he pissed at Tony Savage right now.
Sammy Duke attempts an irish whip but Savage reverses it and uses Duke's momentum against him to send him back into the turnbuckle instead. Savage charges forward and lands a step up knee strike to the chin of Sammy Duke before pulling him away from the corner and slamming him to the canvas via a t-bone suplex. Tony Savage makes the cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Duke kicks out of the first fall of the contest and battles back to his feet. He hits Savage with a punch to the stomach and Savage retaliates with a european uppercut. Savage grabs Duke by the back of the head and marches a few steps forward and slams Duke face first into the turnbuckle.
MINX: Sammy Duke is doing pretty well considering.
DYNAMITE: Considering he got attacked previously or--
THE DOLL: Or considering he's Sammy Duke. Like eww.
Savage pulls Duke away from the corner and throws him between the ropes and to the outside.
MINX: He just treated Duke like a ragdoll.
THE DOLL: Ok, so Tony Savage... Total Hunk.
Savage steps out of the ring leaving Pj Ché to begin a count out. Savage ignores it and throws Duke into the guard rail before smacking Duke across the chest. The echoe forces the crowd into silence and Sammy Duke walks away, slowly descending to one knee. Tony Savage runs up to him and kicks him in the shoulder blades and Duke falls forward onto the mats on the outside. PJ reaches a count of seven before Dogs of War member Tony Savage slides back into ring, canceling the count and getting into PJ's face and exchanging a few words.
MINX: Savage is a big bully.
THE DOLL: He stepped off a California Dream Boat.
Outside, Sammy Duke can be seen recollecting himself as he grabs onto the apron and uses it to help himself back up onto his feet. Savage rolls to the outside and clubs Sammy around the back before rolling him into the ring and following. Duke crawls towards the ropes and Savage stalks like a predator, watching him gradually get to his feet. Once he does, Savage slaps him into a side headlock and he wrenches the hold. Bringing him to the center of the ring and dropping down to a knee, squeezing as tightly as he possible. Duke winces but does well to fight his way back up to his feet, pushing Savage back into the ropes and forcing him to the opposite set. Savage bounces off of them before forcing Duke to the ground with a shoulder barge. He then takes off to the ropes whilst Duke moves across the canvas from a grounded position, looking to trip up Savage but he reacts fast and hops over him. Savage bounces off of the opposite ropes and this time Duke leapfrogs over him. Savage comes off of the ropes again and Duke manages to hit him with a dropkick!
Rising to his feet, Duke then poses to the crowd and a thunderous round of applause commences afterward! He nods his head in appreciation before turning to see where Savage is. Savage leans against the turnbuckle, catching his breath.
MINX: Sammy Duke comes into this match as the underdog. He's going up against a world champion, and someone who's been a world champion quite literally everywhere he's wrestled in Tony Savage.
DYNAMITE: But I think that's what Duke is accustomed to. I think he's used to being the underdog and overcoming the odds and man, what a win it would be for him and his career if he manages to pull off a win against a veteran like Tony Savage. He has what it takes... he has the heart and spirit and the ability, and in big matches like these, that's when you turn up with everything you've got in the tank.
Duke runs towards Savage and is met with an elbow to the side of the head. Duke stumbles backwards but comes back at Savage and this time it's the boot of Savage that meets his head. For a third time Duke heads over to him but this time he catches his boot and drops it, before grabbing Savage but his waist and attempting to deadlift him. Savage watches him with a face of confusion before letting out a chuckle. The fans are getting behind Duke, wanting him to hit the move but Savage is far too big in comparison. It's a bionic elbow from Savage that forces Duke to let go and he stumbles backwards before falling onto his ass.
Savage mocks him, asking whether he truly believed he was ever going to lift him. He then kicks him whilst his down, targeting the head of Duke and this elicits boo's from the crowd. Savage grabs him by the arm and continues to kick him in the head, asking whether Duke is going to allow him to mock him the way that he is. You can tell that Duke is growing frustrated, his eyes light up with every kick to the head and there's a fire in his eyes. Duke makes it to his feet with Savage continuing to boot him. Duke blocks the boot attempt, fires back with a series of knife edge chops that catch Savage off guard before he wraps his arms around his waists, and finally manages to lift him up and over for a belly to belly that sends the arena rocking in a frenzy.
DYNAMITE: And he's done it! The belly to belly from Sammy Duke!
THE DOLL: How the hell did he manage to pull that one off?
The two race to their feet with Sammy managing to bring him back down to the canvas with an armdrag. They race back up and this time it's a hiptoss from Sammy. Tony sit's up in a seated position and Sammy claps his hands before landing a basement dropkick on Savage! Savage rolls across the canvas and onto the apron, holding onto his jaw as Sammy approaches him. Sammy grabs him, looking to suplex him back into the ring - but that burst of strength isn't on right now. He's unable to lift the much heavier Tony Savage on this occasion, who manages to lift him up and onto the apron with him. The two then begin a war of strikes that connects fluidly in a fast manner, one shot after the other with the crucial one coming from Tony Savage, an elbow that sends Sammy staggering backwards. Savage then runs towards him, dropkick to the knee's that sends Sammy landing face first on the apron, the hardest part of the ring.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!"
The fans cringe at the impact. Sammy holds onto his nose whilst Tony gets to his feet and poses arrogantly, looking macho as he stands on the apron.
MINX: Say what you want to say about this man, but you can't say he isn't charismatic.
DYNAMITE: He's got the look, I'll give him that Minx.
Both men are now in the ring and Tony hooks the leg of Sammy.
... 1! ...
... 2! ....
A kickout from The Lion.
Savage nods his head and wipes the sweat that beams down his forehead. He gets to his feet and picks Sammy up with him. Irish whip to the corner before following, Sammy rolls out of the way just in time. Tony turns and finds Sammy running at him, he lifts him up and turns him round, placing him on the top rope. Sammy manages to kick him away and Tony staggers backwards, turning himself round and holding onto his head. He turns back around and Sammy leaps off but Tony moves out of the way too. Sammy lands on his feet before rolling through and turning to face Tony. The two are running at each other with Sammy sliding underneath the legs of Tony, who looks bewildered at the action of it. He turns and is almost caught with a sweet chin but he side steps. Sammy runs at him and Tony lifts him up and spins him round, looking for his spinebuster but at the last second, Sammy reverses it into a DDT, planting the head of Tony firmly on the canvas.
THE DOLL: Impressive by Sammy Duke
MINX: A great reversal to put things in his favor, that's for sure.
He covers.
... 1! ...
... 2! ...
... BREAK COUNT! ...
MINX: NO FREKAING WAY!!
GWD American Justice Champion places his belt under the turnbuckle and then steps onto the ring apron and the ref stops counting to prevent him from entering the ring. With the ref distracted Sammy Duke steps away from Tony Savage and puts his attention on the argument between Mark Storm and Nicole Bender.
THE DOLL: This is genius. Savage just picked up the American Justice championship.
Tony Savage swings the championship at Sammy Duke and Sammy Duke ducks under it. As soon as Savage turns around, SMACK! He's hit with the Sweet Shin Music! Mark Storm drops down from the ring apron and Sammy Duke picks up the championship belt just before Nicole Bender turns around. All she sees is Tony Savage on the canvas clutching his forehead and Sammy Duke holding the championship. She immediately calls for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
MINX: Oh no no nooo not like this!
DYNAMITE: Seriously?!
THE DOLL: HAHAHH YESSSS!!
Sammy Duke tries to plead with her, but she's not having it.
LYOTO SILVA: The winner of the match, by rule of disqualification.... TONY SAVAGE!!
The fans roar with boos as Sammy Duke still tries to plead with Nicole Bender. Tap and Kendrick Kross rush to ringside and and they all attempt to plead with Nicole Bender, meanwhile the Dogs of War scamper away from ringside in a hurry.
MINX: They better get out of here while they still can. I don't believe it. What is wrong with her?!
DYNAMITE: Her decision was final.
MINX: Nicole Bender isn't standing with Sammy apparently.
Backstage EMT's are loading a stretcher with Stacy Sterling on it into the ambulance. Ethan Roerich stands outside the venue near the big vehicle with the Head Doctor giving him specific instructions. Gail McKenna appears in front of the camera.
GAIL MCKENNA: Hey everybody, it's Gail McKenna here reporting to you live from the Global Heritage Festival! We are currently seeking some information on what has happened to the super heroine, Stacy Sterling. Excuse me, Mr. Roerich do you have a moment to answer a couple questions?
The Doctor finishes his sentence and steps away leaving Mr. Roerich and the GWD media team.
MR. ROERICH: Gail can this wait? I'm kind of busy right now.
GAIL MCKENNA: But we all want to know what's going to happen--
The Titaness, Samantha Hamilton barges into the frame, silencing everyone with her unannounced presence.
THE TITANESS: With my opponent out of commission, who is going to replace her?
MR. ROERICH: Uhh.. gee.. I umm.. I haven't even had time to resolve that either. You get an automatic advance. Just be ready to compete tomorrow.
The Titaness walks away with a cold stare.
MR. ROERICH: Get these cameras out of here.
The feed cuts to ringside.

QUARTER FINALS ROUND
Philadelphia -vs- Broseph
====
The riffs of “Let ‘Em Talk” begin as the crowd starts to cheer. Philadelphia comes out when the singing begins, as she claps to the crowd, getting them pumped up. She does a twirl, showing off her body, before raising a fist into the air. She walks down the ramp, slapping the hands of the fans along the way and making an effort to hug every little girl. She climbs the steps, dancing along with the song, before stepping through the ropes. She kisses her fist and hoists it in the air again to the cheers of her fans. She paces around the ring, making small talk with the ref as her music fades out.
The awesome riff of Rock and Roll Part 2 by Gary Glitter begins to play and as the song picks up out walks Broseph with his best bro Henry by his side. The two men gyrate and bounce to the ring as the crowd boo relentlessly. They get to the ring Broseph mounts a corner turnbuckle making random hand gestures in a lame attempt at being cool.
THE DOLL: Where's Lyoto?
MINX: The think he's having an issue with his microphone.
DYNAMITE: It happens folks.
DING! DING! DING!
Philadelphia locks up with Broseph in the center of the ring. Broseph transitions into a hammerlock and then drops down and pulla Philadephila into a roll up. PJ Che drops down to count.
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: Your winner by pnifall, BROSEPH!
MINX: Wait, it's over?!
DYNAMITE: Oh wow! Broseph might hold the record for fastest match in GWD history!
Broseph gets his hand raised in victory and celebrates heavily on his way up the aisle.

QUARTER FINALS ROUND
Equinox -vs- Kendrick Kross
====
The beginning of Snuff starts playing through the loudspeaker with the lights completely off. The lights slowly turn on as smoke begins to rise. At :20 when the lyrics start Kendrick rises from the floor with his head down. He slowly raises his head as the smoke starts to fill the arena. Kendrick slowly starts walking down towards the ring. Kendrick slowly walking, wearing a leather jacket, white tank top, black jeans and red high top sneakers stops in the middle of the ramp head down.
LYOTO SILVA: "From Chelsea, London....weighing in at 215 pounds.....Kendrick Kross!
Kendrick slowly continues walking down the ramp until getting to the end of the ramp where he turns left, goes up the step and climbs into the ring as fire shoots out of the turnbuckles when he gets to the middle.
"Welcome to My Madhouse!!!!! Tonight we rise!!!!!!"
As the stage, as well as the ringside area, slowly begins to fill up with white smoke as the crowd watches in anticipation. Suddenly, something began to rise out of the stage, as if rising from the depths of the mist itself. The fans began to erupt as Equinox hidden underneath the smoke begins to rise out of the smoke as you can see parts his face paint revealing itself hidden under his mask. His arms outstretched to the Rising Revolution as if drawing in their strength before stepping into battle.
"You Wear a Crown but You're No King" by blessthefal go out as it hits over the PA System as the Titan trons begins to play the video highlighting Equinox who would be competing into one of the tonight's many events.
SEEK ME! CALL ME!
I'LL BE WAITING!!!
The fog still thick and envious as if to cloud him from their vision as he makes his way out. As the beat gets faster, Equinox walk faster as his feet trot along to the beat as he is shown in his white Assassin's creed overcoat, his conjoined white and black mask hiding his face, black tank top, and his customized arm covers over each arm in hues of black, charcoal gray, red. His face hidden behind a wild mask of face paint. The fans cheering as the ring announcer announces GWD's own High Spot Superhero.
LYOTO SILVA: From St. Louis, Missouri!!!! Weighing in at 235 Ibs....He is "The Human Highlight Reel", He is "The High Spot Hero" Equinox!!!!!!!
Equinox slowly makes his way down the rows and rows of fans on his right side til he goes full square around to each of the fans. Then heads to greet the ones he missed, before turning around before heading full throttle into the ring sliding under the bottom rope feet first as his body flies at full speed. Smiling big and wide, He gets up quickly playing to the crowd. Proceeding up to each turnbuckle pointing out to the fans for they are why he is here tonight before climbing to the top turnbuckle and somersaulting off the top landing on his feet in the ring. Once finished he take off his overcoat as well as his mask and hands both of them to the Ref.
DING! DING! DING!
Equinox attacks Kross in the early going with stiff right jabs. He throws Kross into the ring ropes and Kross shoots out of the ring cables and connects with a back elbow. Equinox hits the canvas hard and that allows Kendrick Kross the opportunity to shoot for a knee bar but Equinox kicks his way to freedom and hurries back to his feet. Equinox grabs Kross and slams him via an exploder suplex! Equinox goes for the standing moonsault but Kross rolls out of harms way. Once Equinox is in his clutches Kross slams him to the canvas via the dragon suplex! Kross waits little time in locking Equinox in an arm bar. Equinox is quick to wiggle free and as soon as both men make it to their feet, Equinox greets Kross with a kick in the stomach before following it up with an implant DDT! Equinox makes the cover, hooking the leg,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Equinox kicks Kross, arrogantly in the shoulder as he tries to rise to his feet. Equinox steps onto the ring apron and hits a big, springboard blockbuster on Kendrick Kross.
THE DOLL: The DDT really took Kross out of it.
MINX: Knocked him out of it completely.
Equinox lifts Kendrick Kross off the canvas via a deadlift and slams him down with a german suplex! Equinox bridges his body,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
THE DOLL: Equinox is looking to make a name for himself around GWD.
MINX: Defeating Kendrick Kross could help him do that, but if he's not careful, Kross may do the same to him.
DYNAMITE: Both are about to put on a wrestling clinic tonight.
Kendrick Kross has the upper hand now and after avoiding a strike from Equinox has him locked into a grapple and slams him down via a capture suplex. Kendrick Kross makes a cover,
...1!...
...KICKOUT!...
Equinox kicks out quickly and then rolls away from Kross's clutches forcing Kross to fall into his trap. Equinox rolls Kross into a cross armbreaker and Kross flops around the ring in pain and Equinox has focus on his face. PJ Ché checks on Kross and Kross refuses to tap and at the last moments he grips onto the bottom ring cable with his feet. Equinox rolls away from Kendrick Kross, both men make it to their feet at the same time and Equinox immiedately goes for the step up enziguri, but instead flops onto the canvas, knocking the wind out of himself after Kendrick Kross ducks below him. Kross holds onto Equinox's foot and locks him into an STF!
MINX: A total role reversal here.
Equinox grabs hold of the ring rope and Kendrick Kross allows him his freedom from the STF. Once back on to his feet, Kendrick Kross backs Equinox into a corner immediately and smothers him with punches. Flying K steps back a few steps, creating some distance only to close the gap once again. Equinox ducks underneath the clothesline and executes a double knee back stabber! Kross bounces into the air and hit the canvas and arches his back after impact.
THE DOLL: That looks like it hurt. He may have broken something.
DYNAMITE: You're right, he broke his own fall.
MINX: Equinox is making another pin attempt.
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
They make it back to their feet and Kendrick Kross hits the aggressive Equinox with two quick jabs before following up with a head butt. Equinox stumbles away in a daze and Kross charges forward, gaining momentum with each step. Equinox drops out of harms way and pulls down on the ring ropes, causing Kross to topple to the outside. Equinox leaps over attempting a crossbody plancha, but Cross catches him in mid-air ahd slams him into the guard rail using a fallaway slam!Kross pulls Equinox to his feet and throws him back into the ring quickly. Kross steps onto the ring apron and attempts a floatover tornado ddt but Equinox instead reverses it into a manhattan drop! kross springs up gripping his crotch and Equinox connects with a superkick!
DYNAMITE: THE ONE PERCENT KICK!
MINX: Kendrick Kross is down. He's down. He's not moving.
Equinox climbs onto the ring apron and then steps up to the top rope and the fans are cheering him on.
THE DOLL: These fans will get you killed. This guy is an idiot, I'm telling you. Mark Storm has the right mindset.
MINX: So clearly you weren't worthy of lacing his boot.
DYNAMITE: Oh shit.
Equinox rises and Kendrick Kross jumps to his feet quickly and slaps Equinox's feet from underneath him and Equinox racks himself on the turnbuckle. Kendrick Kross steps up and slams Equinox to the canvas with a t bone suplex from the top rope! Cameras flash throughout the venue and Kross makes the cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: Here is your winner by pinfall...KENDRICK KROOSSSSS!!
Nicole Bender raises Kross' hand in victory and the fans cheer for him as he celebrates and shakes hands with Equinox. The two show excellent sportsmanship as they exit the ring.
Cameras take us to an undisclosed location in Los Angeles, it looks like a large parking lot, but all we see is the Coliseum in the background and a large chainlink fence. A security guard approaches and unlocked the door before shoving it open.
SECURITY GUARD: Have a good evening Ms. Marshall.
Melody Marshall appears, dressed in street clothes and wheeling a luggage back.
MELODY MARSHALL: Thanks you too. See you guys tomorrow.
Just as Melody steps through the opening, Sammy "The Lion" Duke and Tapioca Joe arrive with look of desperation on their faces.
TAP: Melody where are you going? We need you to stay here. The Dogs of War are running a muck of the joint.
MELODY MARSHALL: I told you guys, after the Global Heritage Championship is secured I'll be more than willing to help out. But I'm focusing on me right now, that's not my battle. Roerich will handle it, you guys are doing too much. Let it go.
Marshall continues through the gate opening and enters the LYFT that has been waiting for her. Sammy and Tap look at each other with disappointment and head back toward the arena, dissappearing into the darkness.
Backstage our cameras take us to the Dogs of War locker room where GWD American Justice Champion is seen placing the prestigious strap on the bench next to him. Tony Savage and the two Large Men are seated at a small poker table playing a game when all of a sudden there is a knock at the door. They all look up from what they are doing and stare at the door in silence for a moment.
MARK STORM: It's open.
Moments later the door opens and Broseph enters the locker room. They all look at him a little confused as to why he is in their locker room.
BROSEPH: Just the two--four bros I wanted to see.
TONY SAVAGE: What do you want Broseph?
BROSEPH: Oh nothing bro. Just wanted to let you know I over heard the Turtle Gang trying to grow in numbers. They have been talking to people backstage and Tap is trying to brainwash people into believing you guys are doing a bad deed bro. But not me bro. I think what you two-- four bros, are doing is commendable bro.
MARK STORM: Thanks for the information. Now get out.
BROSEPH: Do you bros need help with anything bro? I'm here to help is all bro.
Broseph exits the room and shuts the door behind him. Savage and company go back to playing their game and Mark Storm reaches over to grab his title and the cameras cut elsewhere.

[- GLOBAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL TOURNAMENT -]
QUARTER FINALS ROUND
Jack Owyns -vs- Tapioca Joe
====
DYNAMITE: What a night we’ve had so far! These tournament matches have been great and we aren’t out of the first round. We’re in for a special tournament, Minx.
MINX: It’s crazy how good all these competitors are. I don’t think there is a favorite, but the last first round match is about to start.
THE DOLL: What's crazy, is how the Dogs of War have been taking people out, left and right.
A pair of bright, golden lights flash across existence as Queen's "Princes of the Universe" sounds out across the arena. At the :15 mark, the lights fall on the center of the platform, where Tapicoa Joe stands still and prepared, wearing his trademark black wrestling pants. At the :27 mark, he turns around toward the ring and raises his arms, cueing a display of brilliant, showering golden fireworks shooting wonderfully up from the side of the ramp. He stands and looks around coolly as cheers from the diehard wrestling fans who recognize who he is rain down upon him from all sides, until the :45 mark, when he begins to make his way down to the ring, slapping a couple of hands on the way down the ramp. At the 1:11 mark, Joe removes his jacket and tosses it calmly down onto the floor. He ascends the steps of the ring and enters it.
MINX: Tap won the Immortal Kingdom Crown two weeks ago at Puroresu and he’s looking to win the Global Heritage Championship here, he’d be set up perfectly if he won, Dynamite.
DYNAMITE: That’s what he’s looking forward to. Have one title and then get a shot at the World Title? He could own GWD.
We not asking mothafuckers to care about us
We just letting mothafuckas know we coming
It's real, it's a real mothafuckin' movement
Whether you like it or not
Whether you support it or not
It's a real mothafuckin' movement, man.
The lights fade, as Alpha Omega performed by Machine Gun Kelly erupts on the airwaves. A red fog begins to form in front of the entrance way, as the Villain steps out from the back, and stands centre stage. He looks down; a hoodie masking his head and face. The crowd as one, breaks into a loud boo.
LYOTO SILVA: “And making his way down to the ring from Seattle, Washington, standing in at six feet, four inches tall, and weighing in at two hundred and fifty-four pounds, the VILLAIN, Jack Owyns.”
Jack raises his head, and the hoodie falls back resting on his shoulder. He grins ear to ear, and begins his walk down the aisle that separates the entrance from the ring.
(Bitch!) I am the alpha, I am the omega
(What?) I am the alpha, I am the omega
(Ah!) I am the alpha, I am the omega
(Ay!) I am the alpha, I am the omega
He gives no attention to the fans, that scream into his ear as he walks by. Acting if they aren't even there. He pulls his hoodie off, and tosses it beside the ring as he rolls underneath the bottom rope and enters into the ring.
Jack walks to the opposite corner of where he entered the ring, and leans up against the turnbuckle. His music fades out.
DYNAMITE: This is the new guy. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do, he is definitely going to have his hands full. Tap is no joke.
MINX: I don’t see him winning it, D. Tap won’t get outsmarted by a guy who is new to this company. I mean look at what he did last week, if Tap can do that again tonight Jack will be quick work.
DING! DING! DING!
As soon as the bell rings the two competitors circle the ring, each round of the ring they get closer and closer to one another. Tap is the first to raise his arms up, looking for a tie-up, Jack follows but throws a kick towards Joes gut, Joe being the veteran he is dodges the kick then grabs Jack and puts him in a headlock and then takes him down, keeping a tight hold of the lock while Jacks back is flat on the mat. Junior ref PJ Che slides his hand under Owyns back, checking to see if his shoulders are down. Owyns makes sure his shoulder stays up as he slowly fights out of the hold. Pushes on tap and gets on to one knee, pushing Tap off of him and getting out of the headlock. The two men both get to their feet as they circle one another again. They get closer and go for another tie up. Owyns once again acts like he’s going for a kick to the gut but he stops before his leg extends. After Tap moves to the side, Owyns grabs him and sends a knee to his gut, putting him down onto one knee.
DYNAMITE: Smart move by the youngster, outsmarting Tap. Don’t see that very often.
MINX: Tap will learn from that, it won’t happen again.
THE DOLL: He's kind of senile. He might drink from the same well twice.
DYNAMITE: I’m not so sure about that. We will see.
Owyns grabs the head of Tap into a side headlock and throws him, sending Tap onto his back, Owyns keeping the lock on tight. Tap fights Owyns trying to get out of the hold, Each time he does though, Owyns locks the grip tighter. Taps face starts to turn red as PJ Che asks him if he wants to end the match, each time he quickly says no. Joe keeps fighting and rolls over now lying on his stomach. Joe pushes up with each hand, pushing himself to all fours with Jacks hold still tight around his neck. Tap gets one of his feet firmly on the ground and pushes up getting to a standing position. Immediately after getting to a standing position he drops back, sending Owyns hard into the match causing Jack to release the hold. Tap takes a deep breath before getting up. He walks over towards the now prone Owyns. Tap reaches down and picks up Jack, followed by sending a punch to the head of Jack. He follows that up with a second, and a third, backing him up towards the left side ring ropes. Tap pushes Jack up against the ropes, grabs Jacks left arm and whips him across the ring. He bounces off of the far side ring ropes, on the return Tap bends down and throws Owyns over his shoulder, causing him to slam hard onto mat. Immediately after the slam Joe jumps onto the chest of Owyns hooking his right leg..
DYNAMITE: Look at that elevation!
MINX: An awesome back body drop, looked like it hurt.
DYNAMITE: I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end. Wait, Joe is going for the win here!
...1!...
...TW…
...KICKOUT!...
DYNAMITE: He kicked out. Figured he would.
MINX: A backdrop like that won’t drop anyone. A pin will definitely help to waste Owyns energy.
Tapioca Joe eyes the ref but quickly focuses his attention back onto Jack Owyns. Joe grabs Jack by the head and starts to bring him up to his feet. Getting to one knee Jack sends two elbows to the gut of Joe, causing him to release the hold on him. Jack gets up to his feet as Joe is now facing the opposite way grabbing his gut. Jack wraps his arms around the waist of Joe. He attempts a german suplex but Joe blocks it, Jack tries it again, but once again Joe blocks it followed up by Joe sending elbows to the head of Jack. Joe turns around and grabs Owyns around the waist followed by lifting him up over his head and hitting a hard release german suplex. Owyns hits the mat hard but before Joe can think about a cover Jack rolls out of the ring and ends up on one knee outside of the ring.
MINX: Smart move there.
DYNAMITE: Definitely, saves him from anymore damage. Plus it gives him a rest for at least a couple seconds.
Looking at Jack outside on his knee he Joe smiles as the ref starts his count.
...1!...
Joe walks over towards the ropes and slides out. He grabs Jack as the refs count reaches two and slides him into the ring which Joe then follows. Sliding in he picks up Jack but is caught by a punch to the gut. Jack grabs the arm of Joe and whips him across the ring. On Joes way back he is caught and is thrown over the head of Owyns. Joe gets up and comes back towards Jack and is immediately met with a spinning back punch followed by a spinning back kick. The kick bends Joe over and he is quickly met with a DDT followed by a pin by Jack.
DYNAMITE: Hard DDT! That might be enough!
ONE!...
MINX: Don’t count on it!
TWO!...
DYNAMITE: Tap isn’t moving! He isn’t trying to kick out!
THR….KICKOUT!
DYNAMITE: He got out at the last second!
MINX: That was like 9 and 9 tenths!
Jack looks at the ref surprised and raises his fingers telling the ref that should’ve been a three. PJ stays adamant on the two though. Owyns rolls his eyes and gets to one knee him and Joe both breathing heavily. Jack gets up and pulls Joe up to a standing position. Jack whips Joe across the ring, he bounces across the ropes and rebounds and on the return is met by a spinning backfist, sending Joe to the ground grabbing his nose. Jack walks away from the downed Joe. He waits for him to slowly get up, as Joe gets to one knee Jack runs to Joe and hits his From Kingdom Fuckin Come.
DYNAMITE: That could be it! It could be an upet here!
MINX: This would definitely be the win of the night if he pulls this off!
Instead of immediately going for the pin, Jack goes over to the groggy Joe. He picks up Joe and shoves him between his leg. He tries to hook both arms, gets the left one but as he is trying to get the right one Joe slithers out. Surprised by this Jack turns around and looks at the now escaped Joe and he is met by a boot to the gut. Joe slips behind him and grabs Jack by the waist. Joe lifts Jack and hits him with a german suplex. Jack rolls over and pops up, he walks towards Jack but is met by an Olympic Slam!
DYNAMITE: Joe has taken back control of this match!
MINX: What’s he going to do though, pin or not?
THE DOLL: I'm taking a nap. I'm bored.
Joe looks around in the crowd and walks over to Jack. Instead of going for the pin he lifts Jack up. Joe shoves Jacks head between his legs and lifts him up. Joe hooks his arms and drops hitting the Gotch Driver!
After the Gotch Driver Joe lays on his back, close to a foot away from where Jack is lying: After waiting a few seconds Joe throws his arm over Jack. Going for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE….NO! His hand didn’t come down! We’re still going folks!
DYNAMITE: How’d he do that!?
MINX: Like I said. He has a lot of heart!
Joe looks at Jack not believing he was able to get his shoulder. Joe stands up, not keeping his eye on Jack, he is rolled over into a cradle pin. He grabs the tights!
ONE!
DYNAMITE: Come on! Don’t win this way!
TWO!
MINX: I think he’s going to!
Before the refs hand can come down he sees the hand on the tights and stops the count. Jack gets up and argues with the ref but to no avail. He tries to turn his focus back to Joe but he is too late. As soon as Jack turns around Joe grabs Jacks both legs and pulls him out from under him. Slamming on his back hard Jack becomes disoriented enough for Joe to pull him in the middle of the ring, he sticks his leg through one crosses the right leg over the left, flips him over and gets Jack in the sharpshooter! Jack tries to crawl his way towards the ropes but each time he does Joe pulls him back to the middle of the ring and tightens the grip. PJ asks Jack if he wants to give up and he keeps shaking his up all while Joe is yelling at him to tap. Not tapping, Joe releases his hold. He walks over to Jack, drops down, drops down and gets Jack into the Koji Clutch.
DYNAMITE: Koji Clutch he has to tap. Jack can’t get out of this!
MINX: Oh when are you going to learn. Heart trumps that. He’s going to get out!
Joe keeps tightening his grip on Jack, he raises his hand and thinks about tapping multiple times but he doesn’t he tries to stay in this match. Joe keeps tightening the grip, but Jack is able to go back and forth using that momentum to flip over and get Joe into a pin! Joe has to release the clutch! Joe looks at Jack, almost as if he has decided he’d want to kill him. Instead he gets up slowly as he has used most of his energy by now. Joe pulls Jack up and looks at him face to face. He yells at Jack to stay down but he wasted time. Jack knees Joe into the gut shoves his head between his legs but his arms betweens Joes. Jack lifts Joe up and hits The Villain Connection! Joe grabs his head but him being the veteran he rolls over onto his back. Jack, is lying on his back in the middle of the ring both of them are down and not moving.
THE DOLL: The have been putting up one hell of a fight tonight!
DYNAMITE: There is an opportunity at gold here.
Jack Owyns crawls over to Tapioca Joe and drapes an arm over his chest.
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
THE DOLL: A kick out!
MINX: I don't believe it.
DYNAMITE: This is exciting. Tap just won't quit.
Jack Owyns and Tap fight and claw to climb to their feet, each of them using the ring cables for leverage on opposite sides of the ring. Owyns approaches Tap and whips him into the corner, Tap smashes against the turnbuckles and stumbles out of the corner and towards the center of the ring. Owyns shoves him back into the corner and hits a Villainous Assault on Tap. Tap battle back and blocks one strike and retaliates with a right hand of his own. The crowd gets behind Tap as he builds his come back. The Immortal Kingdom Crown winner hits Owyns with a short arm clothesline before backing himself into the ropes and slingshotting out. Owyns dodges he clothesline and instead connects with a missle dropkick shortly after that sends Tap flying between the ring ropes and to the outside.
THE DOLL: The old timer looks to be need of a life alert.
MINX: Owyns is using a great stat--HEY WAIT!
While Jack Owyns favors his knee and keeps Ace Puerto Rico close to him, Noah Reigner leaps over the guard rail and executes a lung blower on the IKC holder knocking all wind out of him before tossing him back into the ring and ducking down by the apron.
MINX: That's not fair! Ref!! Don't count that.
DYNAMITE: It's too late.
Owyns hurries over to Tap as he slowly rises to his feet and drives him into the canvas via the MISCHIEF MAKER! Owyns hooks the leg,
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: "Your winner by pinfall.....JACK OWYNS!!
Jack Owyns has his hand raised in victory and much to his surprise, Noah Reigner is standing on the ring apron waiting to congratulate him. The two exit the ring leaving Tap to stare them down as they make their way up the aisle.
MINX: Jack Owyns will be joining Tony Savage, Kendrick Kross, Broseph, Samantha Hamilton, and Melody Marshall for day two of the Global Heritage Festival tomorrow.
THE DOLL: I'm going in for physical therapy on my ankle tomorrow, so sadly I won't be there.
MINX: Thank the lord.
DYNAMITE: That'll be a real spectacle to see for sure! Hey, hey, here comes Mr. Roerich!
Mr. Roerich strides to the ring with no music playing, just a microphone in his hands and very seriously demeanor. He steps between the ropes and takes a mic from Lyoto Silva and steps toward the center of the squared circle.
MR. ROERICH: Tonight... has been a good night of wrestling entertainment, but it's also been a complete cluster-- pardon my language, but a complete clusterfuck of an evening backstage. The Dogs of War continue to push limits and overstep their boundaries and that has got to come to an end. As of right now, the rules are changing around here. We can't have competitors throwing other competitors through glass doors and making jokes about it. We cannot have our champion, the face of our promotion running around and doing as he pleases. Mark Storm you claim to be a God, but you're still beneath me you ungrateful son of a bitch!
The fans erupt with excitement and enthusiasm for Mr. Roerich as he starts to grow in confidence.
MR. ROERICH: You've done everything but tarnish that American Justice Championship and while defending it, you have used a strategy that has not been matched and your fifty plus day reign may continue by the end of this festival and it may end, only time can tell, but one thing that is for certain, if you DO happen to defeat Chris Crippler you better be ready to fight twice as hard to keep that championship belt. As of right now, you are fined $35,000, Tony Savage is fines $40,000, and you will be taking a pay cut... AND YOU WILL defend that championship as often as I deem necessary! Hell, if you can beat Chris Crippler you can expect to defend that championship on March 9th at Global Sabotage!
And with so many changes being made right now, I am going to make it known right now, that the American Justice Championship match will be one for the history books. A Marquees of Queensbury Rules Match. Five, five minute rounds, no turnbuckle moves or use of the ring ropes, just full on, grappling, submissions, and pinfalls. There will be three judges, Ace Puerto Rico... Gail McKenna.... and Special Guest Referee Griffin Hawkins will place in a ballad at the end of each round with 10 being the highest score possible to receive. Of course, if someone submits or happens to pick up a pinfall then the judging is obviously not going to be needed, but I do expect to see a winner come out of this, no matter what. With that said, folks have a good night and we are giving out free gift bags at all exits, feel free to take one.
DYNAMITE: That is one hell of a match ladies.
THE DOLL: It most certainly is.
Mr. Roerich drops the microphone as the fans begin heading toward the exits.
MINX: What an epic first night of action in the Global Heritage Festival! Tomorrow we will see the semi-finals round.
FADE TO BLACK.

DAY 2

The Coliseum - Los Angeles, CA.
Feb. 19, 2018
==========
We are set for day two as the fans are filling in some familiar faces some new faces, all of them excited to be here! The Doll, Dynamite Rollins, and Kelsi Minx our always professional broadcast team are at their seats behind their table with the GHF Crest logo printed on the front of it. They have their headsets on and are ready to call tonight's event.
MINX: We welcome you again to the Global Heritage Festvial, dia dos! We're only on day two of the festival and we've already heard exciting news about our Manhattan Beach Invasion event on March 9, 2018. Tapioca Joe will defend his Immortal Kingdom Crown against Jack Owyns after some words on twitter and the interference from Noah Reigner during their match yesterday.
DYNAMITE: The second round will happen tonight and we will know just who will be in the final rounds of the Global Heritage Festival!
THE DOLL: Yesterday, Mr. Roerich put his foot down.
MINX: The Dogs of War has had their foot on the throat of GWD as a whole as of late.
DYNAMITE: They've been doing what others wont and don't. That's all it is. Mark Storm and Tony Savage are only two men with a game plan. The game plan is working.
MINX: Working?! They through a defenseless Stacy Sterling through a glass door and bragged about it.
DYNAMITE: Their not getting the respect they feel they deserve. Perhaps they want better treatment.
THE DOLL: I could agree with that. I was a wrestler in that locker once upon a time.
MINX: They attacked, Sammy Duke and then savagely brutalized him after. Dogs of War are greatly respected around here. We appreciate their work ethic we don't appreciate their Holier than thou attitude.
DYNAMITE: What are you talking about Kelsi?! You've got it all twisted.
THE DOLL: She just stands with Sammy... the walking talking turtle with no shell. I guess that explains why he looks so much like a frog.
MINX: We still want that apology. I don't care what either you two has to say. The Dogs of War are highly respected and so is Mark Storm. These people want to see them wrestle, but we don't want them to beat our stars backstage. We don't want Stacy Sterling going through a glass door. Do you know how many kids were booing them for that?
The Pride by Five Finger Death Punch begins to play and Tony marches out with a purpose, not running, but not stopping for any distractions along the way.

[- GLOBAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL TOURNAMENT -]
SEMI - FINALS ROUND
Samantha Hamilton -vs- Tony Savage
====
DYNAMITE: Uh oh you pissed him off Minx. Now he's heading this way.
MINX: He's got a match you doofus.
LYOTO SILVA: The opening contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a semi-finals match in the Global Heritage Festival Tournament! Making his to the ring, represnting the Dogs of War....TONY SAVAGE!!
As the actual lyrics begin playing, the Titaness saunters down the ramp. A sense of determination and resolve can always be found in her eyes. Despite wearing a more stern and serious expression, she's not one to ignore any fans or supporters. Every now and again, she'll give a wave or slight smirk. More often than not, however, the Titaness will stick to her more serious and stoic look.
LYOTO SILVA: His opponent...SAMANTHA THE TITANESS HAMILTON!!
When she finally gets in front of the ropes, the Titaness steps between the ropes and Tony Savage waists little time and attacks Hamilton immediately. Clobbering her with forearms.
MINX: Looks like we will be starting this one early!
DING! DING! DING!
PJ Ché signals for the match begin but also prevents Savage from stepping out of the ring, allowing Hamilton enter the ring before stepping away and letting the two continue. Savage locks up with Samantha Hamilton and she slams him with a snap suplex almost immediately. Hamilton jumps up and connects with a big standing leg drop before making a cover on Tony Savage,
...1!...
...KICKOUT!...
THE DOLL: She's going to have to do better than that if she wants to keep Tony Savage down.
DYNAMITE: Savage and Hamilton are up again.
Savage hops up and the Titaness is quick to knock him down with a diving clothesline. She makes another cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...BREAK COUNT!...
Savage pulls the Titaness into a sleeper hold out of nowhere and the Titaness fights for air and freedom with Savage clenching onto her.
DYNAMITE: All he's got to do is wrap his legs around her waist and he'll have it sunk it to perfection.
The Titaness uses her strength to force both herself and Savage into a roll. The two roll underneath the bottom and fall off the edge of the ring apron like rocks rolling down a cliff and the two smack the mats on the outside hard, both losing a little bit of wind. PJ Ché does his job and begins the countout.
MINX: Samantha Hamilton is one of my picks to make it to the next round. She came so close to grabbing the Immortal Kingdom Crown.
THE DOLL: She came close but didn't quite make it and tonight she's getting her chance to face Tony Savage basically because of Tony Savage.
DYNAMITE: The Dogs of War have been on a warpath and you've got to wonder, is it a takeover and destroy type of mission? Or is it, do it for shits and giggles type of thing?
MINX: And Sammy Duke is also in the mix. He wants retribution for what happened yesterday. Tony Savage stole this opportunity here.
Samantha Hamilton and Tony Savage both slide back into the ring at the count of nine and the two continue their assualt on one another. Savage knees Hamilton the misection before backing into the ring ropes. He pops up with a bit of momentum and Samantha Hamilton slams him with a whip power slam similar to what we marks see from Randy Orton. Hamilton makes another cover, hooking leg this time around,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
MINX: Oh a near fall from Samantha Hamilton!
DYNAMITE: They both are back on their feet now. OH! The vicious right hook for Tony Savage. He nearly knocked her tooth out!
THE DOLL: Tony Savage pulls her into a grapple now guys. What's he got planned?
Tony Savage fights back and slams Samantha Hamilton via the fisherman suplex! He bridges his body at the end.
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Samantha Hamilton and Tony Savage roll onto their feet and charge at one another. They collide, both going for a clothesline at the same time, nearly knocking each other's heads off! The two lay next to one another on the canvas staring up at the ceiling.
DYNAMITE: Oh these two are really going at it today folks.
MINX: They are going to give it their all for a shot at the gold!
The two show signs of life ad roll onto all fours at around the count of five and finally making it to their feet just as PJ Ché is reaching a count of eight and a half. Tony Savage waists no time hitting Samantha Hamilton with a big spinebuster! He hooks the leg for a pin,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Hamilton throws the shoulder up and the crowd pops behind her. Tony Savage rises and shouts at the fans and they boo him heavily. He ignores it and puts his focus back on his opponent who is now standing in the corner. She shoots out of the corner and hits Savage with a spear that leaves him on the mat clutching his abdomen. Hamilton kicks him in the shoulders, the lower back, and the back of the head while he is down and ends it all by placing Tony Savage into an ankle lock! The crowd pops for her and Savage bites and claws for the ring ropes and having no luck in finding his destination. He eventually rolls through, taking some pressure off his ankle and allowing him a chance to kick Samantha in the face with his other foot. He then tries crawling away but Samantha Hamilton isn't going to give up that easily. She tries to lift Savage up into a gutbuster but Savage instead reverses it and lifts her onto his shoulders and slams her down to the mat via a death valley driver! Tony Savage rolls away with not strength or energy to crawl over to make the cover. Savage just lays there staring at her while clutching his ankle.
MINX: Tony Savage is in pain. That move took everything he had.
DYNAMITE: That ankle lock may have done more damage than we thought.
Both competitors are back to their feet once again. Hamilton gets the better of the two and backs Savage into the corner uses kicks and punches. She grabs him by the head and runs out of the corner, executing a bulldog on Tony Savage before making a cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
THE DOLL: The perfect bulldog executed by Samantha Hamilton there and still no victory. Savage is resiliant.
MINX: The Titaness is putting up a fight today!
Tony Savage throws the shoulder up much to the disapproval of Samantha Hamilton.
DYNAMITE: I could've sworn she had a three count of him that time. But then again, he's a Dog of War. He doesn't quit, he just forces us all to do what Anders?
THE DOLL: Cry Havoc.
MINX: Oh that's cute guys.
Samantha Hamilton clotheslines Savage out of the ring and Tony Savage lands on the his feet, but the pain shoots up his ankle and he falls to the floor in pain. Samantha Hamilton takes advantage of this and steps outside the ring and tosses Savage back in. She steps in after him and goes for another ankle lock but Tony Savage pull her into an inside cradle. PJ drops down to count.
...1!...
Savage grabs hold of the bottom rope.
MINX: NO. Not again! Hey!
...2!...
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
MINX: That no good--
THE DOLL: Easy there Kelsi, it's just a wrestling match.
DYNAMITE: Tony Savage pulled out the win with the bad ankle... Or so we thought. Look at him go!
LYOTO SILVA: Here is your winner and he will be advancing into the Global Heritage Championship match....TONY SAVAGE!!!
The fans boo loudly as Tony Savage hurries out of the ring and sprints up the aisle to the back.
MINX: I thought he had a bad ankle.
DYNAMITE: It's adrenaline.
Sammy "The Lion" Duke can be seen speaking with Tapioca Joe and Kendrick Kross in the catering area. Tap has a large plate in front of him and Kross has a plate with a few pieces of fruit placed in front of him while Sammy Duke is standing up and very animated.
SAMMY DUKE: I'm still waiting on Roerich to get here. What happened yesterday was complete b.s.
TAP: I agree. But, it's too late, and that's not really Roerich's call. He'll find a way to make it right.
KENDRICK KROSS: We've got to do something about these Dogs of War.
SAMMY DUKE: It's not too late, Tap! It's never too late until you stop trying. What the Puppies did last night was wrong, and it's up to us to right that wrong! A great man once said "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"...the War Puppies started this, so it's up to us.
Sammy stood between Tap and Kendrick, resting a hand on each of their shoulders.
SAMMY DUKE: The Fighting Turtle Gang! Honor Guard! It's up to us to finish this! The right way. I'm going to find Roerich, he's going to give us what we want. Retribution. By the end of this Heritage Festival, I WILL get Roerich, Storm, and all the rest of his little pups!
Sammy turns and begins to walk away. He stops for a moment, though.
SAMMY DUKE: Good luck tonight Kendrick, that Heritage Title is as good as yours. Long as we, the Fighting Turtle Gang, sticks together!
STATIC..
...fades into a man standing in front of a simple brick wall. This man was current Union Battleground star, Noah Reigner. Noah wore a smirk on his face as he arrogantly chewed the end of a toothpick. A trait that some have grown a custom to seeing him do. His hair was swept into his eyes, but he was still focused on the camera in front of him. Him knowing that everyone in the GWD was watching this now.
Noah Reigner “Boy, oh boy. Global Wrestling Division looks to be the next hot ticket in the wrestling industry. Making a lot of noise when they put on a show, causing the entire wrestling world to stop and take notice. I was out in Japan when I heard about the GWD throwing down, and I had to stop and watch - that’s the kind of reaction this place is getting. It didn’t take too many phone calls to get connected here, either. Turns out, people know who I am.”
His tone was arrogant, dripping with swagger at the end there. His smirk never fades, and his eyes never left the camera in front of him. He tongued the toothpick to the other side of his mouth before continuing.
Noah Reigner “You gotta’ treat these things like the stock market. You buy in on the ground floor, and you ride it right to the top. I bought in. I signed that contract that was offered to me, and you better believe I’m here to help ..”
He paused, chuckling.
Noah Reigner “To make sure that the GWD succeeds. And I look around at the roster and I notice names like Mark Storm, who’s a world-class athlete. He’s already staked his claim here, becoming the American Justice champion. And that’s good for him. Good to see him standing at the top of the mountain as the best in the company. I’ve seen your work, heard your name and from what I’ve heard and seen; you deserve your time. And while I stand here and sing your praises, I can promise you that I have no designs on your title.. Yet. Do your thing, Mark. Just know that this is a message.”
“A message to the entire company. From Mark Storm at the top, to Samantha Hamilton, to Sammy Duke, Tapioca Joe and even my old friend - Jack Owyns. The message is simple; I’m here. And I’m going to assume that some of you know exactly what I can do when I step into the ring, and if you don’t? Then I suggest you YouTube some stuff. The message is that I’m going to go through each and everyone of you that I have to, and at the end of it all - Noah Reigner will be one of, if not the face of the GWD.”
He brought a hand up to his mouth, removing the toothpick from between his - now - clenched teeth.
Noah Reigner “So - enjoy the night. Enjoy winning tournaments, titles, matches and celebrating because soon I’m going to be stepping into the ring, and the only enjoyment that is going to be had will be by me. When I break your fuckin’ face.”
And with that, in what some would say is homage to Scott Hall, Noah flicked the toothpick directly into the camera lens. As soon as it hit..
..STATIC
Jumping backstage we're interrupted by the loud shouts of the only Lion of pro wrestling, Sammy Duke!
SAMMY DUKE: Roerich!! This is a big event, I know you're here! Come out!
Sammy frantically runs by a stack of boxes, knocking them over as he moves past them. He stops, turns, and moves the boxes aside, shouting again.
SAMMY DUKE: Roerich!
But it was no use. Roerich was nowhere around the backstage area.
SAMMY DUKE: This is bullsh**! You let these thugs muck about in matches to make sure their friends win, and then hand them fines like they give a damn! Money doesn't matter to them, they piss away twenty grand like someone betting on the Knicks!
Out of anger, Sammy kicks a near by stack of crates, toppling them over and causing a loud crash to hit the floor! Just as Sammy looks up, a heavily panting cameraman finally arrives onto the scene to survey the wreckage left in Sammy's wake.
SAMMY DUKE: No, these thugs only understand one kind of Justice...and I'm gonna have to be the one to give it to them.
Sammy looks up, directly at the cameraman.
SAMMY DUKE: Mark Storm. Ethan Roerich. You're both going to hear me out. And I'm not taking NO for an answer! By the end of this Festival one way, or another.

[- GLOBAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL TOURNAMENT -]
SEMI - FINALS ROUND
Kendrick Kross -vs- Jack Owyns
====
MINX: Sammy Duke is on the hunt for Mr. Roerich and Mark Storm tonight.
THE DOLL: Are either of them here tonight?
DYNAMITE: I haven't seen either of them. And Storm wasn't at ringside for Savage's match up either.
MINX: It makes you wonder doesn't it?
The beginning of Snuff starts playing through the loudspeaker with the lights completely off. The lights slowly turn on as smoke begins to rise. At :20 when the lyrics start Kendrick rises from the floor with his head down. He slowly raises his head as the smoke starts to fill the arena. Kendrick slowly starts walking down towards the ring. Kendrick slowly walking, wearing a leather jacket, white tank top, black jeans and red high top sneakers stops in the middle of the ramp head down. As the announcer introduces him.
LYOTO SILVA: From Chelsea, London....weighing in at 215 pounds.....Kendrick Kross!
Kendrick slowly continues walking down the ramp until getting to the end of the ramp where he turns left, goes up the step and climbs into the ring as fire shoots out of the turnbuckles when he gets to the middle.
We not asking mothafuckers to care about us
We just letting mothafuckas know we coming
It's real, it's a real mothafuckin' movement
Whether you like it or not
Whether you support it or not
It's a real mothafuckin' movement, man.
The lights fade, as Alpha Omega performed by Machine Gun Kelly erupts on the airwaves. A red fog begins to form in front of the entrance way, as the Villain steps out from the back, and stands centre stage. He looks down; a hoodie masking his head and face. The crowd as one, breaks into a loud boo.
LYOTO SILVA: And making his way down to the ring from Seattle, Washington, standing in at six feet, four inches tall, and weighing in at two hundred and fifty-four pounds, the VILLAIN, Jack Owyns.
Jack raises his head, and the hoodie falls back resting on his shoulder. He grins ear to ear, and begins his walk down the aisle that separates the entrance from the ring.
(Bitch!) I am the alpha, I am the omega
(What?) I am the alpha, I am the omega
(Ah!) I am the alpha, I am the omega
(Ay!) I am the alpha, I am the omega
He gives no attention to the fans, that scream into his ear as he walks by. Acting if they aren't even there. He pulls his hoodie off, and tosses it beside the ring as he rolls underneath the bottom rope and enters into the ring.
MINX: Jack Owyns.. he's set to face Tap at Global Sabotage, but tonight he's getting a chance at possibly competing for the Global Heritage Championship along wth two others. Can he pull it off against Kross?
Jack walks to the opposite corner of where he entered the ring, and leans up against the turnbuckle. His music fades out.
DYNAMITE: We'll find out soon enough.
The bell rings and both men come together and engage in a standard collar to elbow tie up, with Owyns emerging the victor in this battle of strength as he pushes his opponent back into the ropes. The referee begins to count but Owyns let's up with no hesitation but Kendrick reverses and now has Owyns on the ropes, holding him there with the referee beginning a count. At the count of four Kendrick breaks cleanly, holding his hands up before looking as if he's going to strike him across the face but only gently patting him on the chest. Owyns lunges forwards and with a knee connects to the mid section of Kendrick, who doubles over. Owyns clubs him round the back repeatedly and forces him back into the corner. He then begins a series of thrusts into the mid section as Kendricks grabs onto the ropes but this doesn't concern Owyns. The referee gets to the count of five before Owyns runs towards the ropes, bouncing off of them as Kendrick staggers out of the corner, and he tries to catch him with a big boot but Kendrick catches it and drops it down. Kendrick then strikes Owyns with a backhand to the chest that connects hard and a slapping sound echoes through the arena. Owyns laughs and asks whether he can do any better.
MINX: Jack Owyns is a bit odd.
DYNAMITE: He's a master of mind games and he doesn't mind taking or inflicting a little pain.
Another backhand chop to the chest by Kendrick but Owyns once again doesn't seem all that affected. He pushes him and calls him a pussy before asking yet again whether that's all hes got. Kendrick takes a step back, looking like he might walk away from the situation but at the last second he turns to face Owyns again and hits him with the hardest backhand of them all, that sends Owyns down to the canvas and crawling back into the corner in a hurry, stunned.
THE DOLL: That one got 'em though.
DYNAMITE: Kendrick Kross is not playing games.
Kendrick then runs at the cornered Owyns who manages to dodge his strike attempt and turns him around. A series of shoot kicks connect to the chest of Kendrick who's defenseless in the corner, latching onto the top rope. Owyns then brings him out of the corner and looks for a suplex, Kendrick reverses and slips down behind him, turns him round and an uppercut that sends Owyns back stumbling into the ropes. Owyns comes off of them with a second wind and looks for a lariat, Kendrick ducks and looks for a German suplex but Owyns powers his way down before elbowing his way out of the rear waist lock position.
Kross stumbles backwards, holding onto the side of his head and Owyns then grabs him from behind and delivers a German suplex of his own, which he bridges into a pin.
... 1! ...
... 2! ...
MINX: Owyns nearly got the three. He's still got him grounded now.
Owyns keeps Kendrick on the ground with a ground and pound game that makes you wonder whether this guy belongs in the octagon, (which he probably does!) and Kendrick struggles to reach the ropes but eventually he gets there! Owyns gets off of him after the referee begins a count and he holds his hands up before getting into the face of the official and laughing, boo's beginning to build as the cocky demeanor of Jack Owyns is now on display.
Kendrick gets to his feet and is leaning against the ropes. Owyns grabs him, Irish whip - reversal by Kross, Owyns bounces off of the ropes, ducks under the lariat attempt, bounces off of the opposite ropes - looking for a knee smash to the face, Kross sidesteps, wraps his arms around his neck before driving him down to the canvas with a Dragon suplex! He bridges it into a pin attempt!
... 1! ...
... 2! ...
... NO! ...
A gasp echoes through the arena.
DYANMITE: We know who the fans want to see advance here tonight.
THE DOLL: Regardless, these two are putting up a fight.
Both men get to their feet and begin an exchange of blows, one after the other in quick succession. An elbow followed by an elbow, a forearm followed by a forearm - each strike stiffer than the last, with Kross breaking the pattern with a step up enziguri from nowhere. Owyns staggers, it isn't enough to knock him off his feet. But the roundhouse kick that connects afterwards does the trick! He falls to the canvas but then immediately begins to crawl toward the ropes, panting as he does so. Not quite at the ropes but not far from it, he begins to make a gradual return to his feet and as he does so Kross takes off to the ropes, bouncing off of them and looks for his curb stomp - Owyns pops up in the last second, SUPERMAN PUNCH!
Kross spirals around the ring for a moment, not sure where he is and not sure whether he's going to fall to the canvas or not. Owyn grins arrogantly before running to the ropes and looking for a Muay Thai Knee Strike. Kross sidesteps! Drops down to the canvas, grabs his ankle and locks him in the ankle lock! Owyns reaches for the ring ropes and grabs hold of them immediately, forcing Kross to release the ankle lock.
MINX: You've got to think, if the ring ropes were not a factor would Owyns still be fighting this battle right now?
THE DOLL: Kross was out for blood that time.
Kross allows Owyns to his feet and the two lock up in the center of the ring. Owyns is first break out of the collar and elbow tie up and land a big european uppercut. Kross stumbles away trying to regroup with his back turned to Owyns. Owyns marches forward and a attempts a bulldog but Kross plants his feet firmly and shoves Owyns forward forcing all of Owyns' momentum to launch him forward forcing him to just take a back bump. Owyns tries to rise to his feet and before he knows it...CURB STOMP! The crowd gasps and counts along with the referee as Kross makes the cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: Your winner, by pinfall....KENDRICK KROSS!!
MINX: Kross is going to the campionship match with Tony Savage!
DYNAMITE: Who will join them? Will it be, Broseph or Melody Marshall?

[- GLOBAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL TOURNAMENT -]
SEMI - FINALS ROUND
Broseph-vs- Melody Marshall
====
MInx: What a great night of matches for us, D.
Dynamite: Totally, this one is going to be pretty good, Minx!
Inside the arena, the lights dim and the a blue hue takes over the stage / ramp area. Smoke fills the entrance way as emerging through it to the sounds of "Spirit Of A Believer" is Melody Marshall. She is introduced the ring announcer as she slaps the hands of some lucky fans ringside before sliding into the ring. She kneels down and points a finger in the air as streamers fall atop her.
Dynamite: Melody could be a good choice to win this tournament and become the Global Heritage Champion. She’s a solid competitor
Minx: Don’t count out the man that’s coming to the ring though, Dynamite. Broseph is no pushover.
The awesome riff of Rock and Roll Part 2 by Gary Glitter begins to play and as the song picks up out walks Broseph with his best bro Henry by his side. The two men gyrate and bounce to the ring as the crowd boo relentlessly. They get to the ring Broseph mounts a corner turnbuckle making random hand gestures in a lame attempt at being cool.
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rings and both Broseph and Melody run at one another. Broseph goes for a quick clothesline onto Melody but Mel ducks the arm. After Broseph misses the clothesline Melody runs towards him and rams a forearm into the back of Brosephs head knocking him down and she immediately goes for a pin. Jr. Ref Nicole Bender drops down and counts the pin.
Dynamite: This is pretty early for a pin don’t you think?
ONE!...KICKOUT!
Minx: No, I don’t think it was D. Trying to get Broseph to expend some of his stamina.
Melody quickly pops up and picks Broseph up with her. Standing Broseph up, she hits him with two European Uppercuts, she does for a third but Broseph knees Melody in the gut doubling her over. Broseph gets Melody into a headlock and pulls her to her side grabbing her setting her up for a suplex. He attempts to lift her up but is blocked by Melody. He tries it once more, but again, she blocks it. Melody pushes Broseph away and hits a picture perfect dropkick! sending Broseph hard to the mat. Melody quickly pops up from the dropkick as the crowd pops. Melody goes over to Broseph and bends down to pick her up but he sends a poke to her eye. She immediately grabs it as Broseph hops up.
Dynamite: Oh, Come on now!
MInx: Hey he had to do something, right?
Dynamite: Yeah, but he didn’t need to poke her eye out!
Minx: Oh he didn’t D.
Broseph looks at Melody who turns around still grabbing her right eye. Broseph sends a boot to the gut of Melody and sets her up for a suplex. He lifts her up and hits the Suplex. Looking down at Melody, Broseph turns around facing away from her, jumps backwards, flips and hits a standing moonsault! Broseph grabs his stomach but falls back onto Melody, going for a pin hooking the outside leg.
Dynamite: This could be the win right here, Minx. Especially with that nice Moonsault.
ONE!
Minx: I wouldn’t count on it, but let’s go!
TW….KICKOUT!!
Dynamite: NO! He didn’t get her.
Broseph looks up at the Jr. Ref Bender, holding up three fingers saying that should’ve been three. Broseph rolls his eyes then focuses back on Melody who has gotten to one knee. He brings her up to her feet, knees her in the gut and hits her with a DDT! Deciding not to go for a pin, Broseph backs up towards the ropes and runs at Melody, getting near her he jumps and goes for a running Shooting Star Press but Melody gets her knees up sending them directly into his gut!
Dynamite: That just saved her from losing this match, MInx.
Minx: Definitely. Had Broseph hit that Melody would have been in trouble then for sure.
Broseph is on all fours grabbing his gut, while Melody has gotten to her knees. She pushes up and gets to both feet. Smiling she calmly waits, as Broseph starts to get up, Melody runs and hits a Shining Wizard! She rolls away not being able to cover him while Broseph grabs his head.
Dynamite: Melody needs to cover! She covers she’ll win!
Minx: Yeah, but she is too far away.
Melody reaches out and grabs the middle rope, slowly pulling herself up. As she gets up she leans against the ropes, Broseph has slowly gotten up as well at this point. She looks at him and runs towards him. Broseph rolls out of the ring but that doesn’t phase Melody as she dives through the ropes and misses the suicide dive hitting the barrier hard! Broseph gets to one knee, taking deep breaths at this point and gets to his feet. He grabs the limp body of Melody and throws her into the ring. He slides in after her, he goes for a pin as Ref Bender drops down to count.
ONE!
Dynamite: This has to be it, MInx.
TWO!
Minx: I’m thinking so as well, just look. She’s knocked out!
THRE….KICKOUT!!!!
Dynamite: Holy hell! That was close!
Minx: How? I don’t see how?
Broseph looks at Bender surprised. He yells at her that should have been three multiple times, surprised it wasn’t. He looks down at Melody, his face turning read and bends down to pick her up, He gets her to her feet and starts to lift Melody up.
Dynamite: He’s going for the DYELB!
Minx: If he hits this she’s definitely done!
Broseph gets her up but Melody spins off of his arms and grabs Brosephs head dropping down hitting a DDT! Both hitting the mat hard they lay on their backs not moving. Melody starts to move over towards Broseph and throws an arm over his chest as the ref drops down.
ONE!
Dynamite: This could be it after that big DDT!
TWO!
Minx: I don’t see how Broseph kicks out!
THR...KICKOUT!
Dynamite: These two really want to win this match!
Melody takes a deep breath throwing her hands over her head, sondering to herself what she has to do. Melody slowly gets up as Broseph is still laid out on the mat. She slowly picks him up, gets behind him, grabs him and runs towards the turnbuckle. Broseph hits the turnbuckle hard, Melody brings him back and rolls over, then hits a German suplex with a bridge, hitting the battleBORN!
Dynamite: This has to be it!
...ONE!...
Minx: I don’t see how it isn’t!
...TWO!...
...THREE!...
Dynamite: She did it! She won! Wait. The ref is calling it off, He got a shoulder up!
Minx: The match continues!!
Melody looks up at Ref Bender surprised at how he kicked out and throws her hands over her face once more as she falls back to the mat, looking up at the lights in disbelief for a moment before climbing back to her feet. Broseph makes it to his feet and Marshall attempts a running high knee but Broseph moves out of the way at the last second and Melody crashes into the turnbuckle. She steps out with a limp and Broseph executes the Bro-DT! He makes a cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...NO!..KICKOUT!
Bender signals that Marshall got the shoulder up at the last second and holds up two fingers in front of Broseph. Bro looks at Bender and mouths "Come on bro." before rising to his feet and continuing. He pulls Marshall to her feet and she quickly transitions into a back grapple before forcing Broseph to march forward, they hit the turnbuckle and then together they do a back roll with Marshall still holding on and performing battleBORN! She bridges her back and Bender drops down to count,
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: Here is your winner by pinfall...MELODY MARSHALL!!!!
Melody Marshal celebrates her victory in the ring to the approval of the crowd.
MINX: Our Global Heritage title picture is set for tomorrow we will see Melody Marshall against Kendrick Kross and Tony Savage along with our blockbuster match up between Mark Storm and Chris Crippler!
DYNAMITE: This is unbelievable how awesome today's matches were.
THE DOLL: Sammy Duke still hasn't found Mr. Roerich. Haha what a schmuck.
MINX: That's all the time we have for today folks, thank you for watching. Be sure to check out tomorrow's event as well!

The Coliseum - Los Angeles, CA.
Feb. 20, 2018
==========
We are set for day three as the fans are filling in some familiar faces some new faces, all of them excited to be here! The Doll, Dynamite Rollins, and Kelsi Minx our always professional broadcast team are at their seats behind their table with the GHF Crest logo printed on the front of it. They have their headsets on and are ready to call tonight's event. The Dogs of war fan section sets up in one spot, there is also a person in a Dog costume.
MINX: Welcome to the third and final day of the Global Heritage Festival! I'm Kelsi Minx alongside The Doll Britney Anders and "Dynamite" David Rollins!
DYNAMITE: Howdy folks.
THE DOLL: Glad to be here once again. We've had three days of non stop action and we've had three days of the Dogs of War and the Fighting Turtle Gang on similar seek and destroy missions!
DYNAMITE: Today we will witness history as the first ever Global Heritage Champion will be crowned and we've got one hell of a blockbuster main event with Griffin Hawkins as the special guest referee in the GWD American Justice Championship match between Mark Storm and Chris Crippler.
MINX: This is the match I've been looking forward to all month. Mark Storm will be ultimately tested tonight as he will go five rounds with Chris Crippler.
THE DOLL: I'm excited to see Melody Marshall take on Tony Savage and Kendrick Kross. It's three of GWD's rising talents that are showcasing themselves as worthy names amongst the GWD ranks. They did very well the last two days and today we will witness one of these three join Tapioca Joe and Mark Storm in the GWD history books.
MINX: Tony Savage and Kendrick will be at each others throats, but my pick to win it all is Melody Marshall. She's got nothing to distract her where as for Savage and Kross it's a little more personal. It's more than just a championship match for them. He's pushing an agenda to humble the Dogs of War and Tony Savage is looking to get the victory anyway he can.
DYNAMITE: I think it's all good for the Global Wrestling Division.
MINX: On March 9th, the Global Wrestling Division will invade Manhattan Beach with an exclusive all outdoors event. Expect a lot of bikini's and drunk people.
DYNAMITE: It's GWD's springbreak event, Global Sabotage where all college kids get their tickets for only $5 if they are over the age of 21. Our sponsors are some of the micro brewery's down in San Diego. Mr. Roerich really hit the nail on the head this time.
THE DOLL: I'll definitely be attending that one.

MINX: It’s going to be great, D. We have Kendrick Kross versus Tony Savage versus Melody Marshall. Going to be a great match!
THE DOLL: It’ll be alright.
Tony marches out with a purpose, not running, but not stopping for any distractions along the way
LYOTO SILVA: Weighing in at 237 Pounds…..Tonyyyy Saaavageee.
DYNAMITE: If Storm stays away I think Savage will have a tough time winning this match.
MINX: That’s a big if though. We’ll see.
The beginning of Snuff starts playing through the loudspeaker with the lights completely off. The lights slowly turn on as smoke begins to rise. At :20 when the lyrics start Kendrick rises from the floor with his head down. He slowly raises his head as the smoke starts to fill the arena. Kendrick slowly starts walking down towards the ring. Kendrick slowly walking, wearing a leather jacket, white tank top, black jeans and red high top sneakers stops in the middle of the ramp head down. As the announcer introduces him. "From Chelsea, London....weighing in at 215 pounds.....Kendrick Kross!
Kendrick slowly continues walking down the ramp until getting to the end of the ramp where he turns left, goes up the step and climbs into the ring as fire shoots out of the turnbuckles when he gets to the middle.
Minx: Savage and Kross have been going at it on Twitter lately. What’s going to happen here between them tonight? I wonder if they will forget about Melody.
Dynamite: If they do that they’ll both lose. Melody isn’t someone to mess with.
Entrance Description: Inside the arena, the lights dim and the a blue hue takes over the stage / ramp area. Smoke fills the entrance way as emerging through it to the sounds of "Spirit Of A Believer" is Melody Marshall. Silver: Weighing in at 119 pounds and standing at 5’5 Melodyy Marshhhalll as she slaps the hands of some lucky fans ringside before sliding into the ring. She kneels down and points a finger in the air as streamers fall atop her.
Dynamite: She might be my favorite in this. Simply because of what has been happening between Savage and Kross.
The Doll: You could be right, Dynamite
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rings as the three competitors in the ring stand still looking at one another, waiting for the other to make the first move. Melody and Kross look at eachother and run at Savage, playing the 2 on 1 game and throw punches to his face and gut backing him into the corner. They each grab one arm and whip Savage across the ring. Following Tony hitting the opposite corner Kendrick whips Melody across the ring as she hits Tony hard with a lariat, sending him down into the mat. Melody turning around is immediately met by a dropkick by Kross!
Dynamite: Well that didn’t last long!
The Doll: No room for alliances in this match.
Kross hops up after the dropkick and sees that Savage is still down into the corner. Kross looks at Tony and runs towards the seated Tony flipping and hitting Tony with a Senton! Kross quickly hops up and goes for the pin.
ONE!
Before ref Nicole Bender can make the count of two Melody kicks Kross’ back breaking the count! Kendrick grabs his lower back and lets out a small grunt as he rolls of of Tony. Melody grabs Tony’s head and pulls him up to a standing position sending a boot to Tony’s gut. Melody gets Tony in a front face lock and goes for a suplex, Tony blocks though! Melody goes for another suplex. Another block! Tony instead lifts Melody up and slams her down with a suplex! Tony rolls over onto Melody and hooks her far leg going for a pin!
ONE!
Dynamite: Savage could have it here!
TWO!
The Doll: He better not.
Melody kicks out as Kross slides out of the ring. Kross walks over to the timers table and grabs the black chair that is sitting there and closes it. A smile comes across his face and he slides into the ring. Kross swings the chair at Tony but Tony ducks! Kendrick turns around and is hit with a dropkick to his knees taking them out from under them. Kendrick falls straight down and hits his face onto the chair!
Minx: Ooooooh. That had to hurt!
Melody has slowly gotten up, before Tony can go for the pin on Kendrick Melody grabs Tony and hits him with a reverse DDT! Melody flips over onto Tony and goes for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE...KICKOUT!
Tony got his shoulder up and rolls over onto his front so Melody can’t go for another one. Kendrick has slowly gotten to one knee shaking his head trying to get the cobwebs out. Melody comes running at him but Kendrick side steps Melody and throws her into the ring post her shoulder hitting it hard! Melody rolls out of the ring and hits the floor hard grasping at her shoulder. Meanwhile Tony has gotten to one knee. Kendrick runs at Tony and hits him with a hard kick to the chest!

Each time Tony tries to escape it Kendrick gets it tighter and tighter. Tony is finally able to push himself up enough and flip over sending Kendrick out of the ring! Melody has slowly crawled back into the ring, holding her shoulder. Turning around Tony sees this and runs at her. He picks her up and grabs her bad arm and twists it, causing the shoulder to wrench putting Melody in more pain than before.
Dynamite: Tony is really wrenching on that arm. She normally wouldn’t tap to something like this but she might have to!
Minx: I don’t see that happening!
Kendrick has gotten to one knee and sees Tony wrenching Melody’s arm. Kendrick slides in and runs at Tony hitting him with a spear! Tony immediately lets go of the arm and hits the mat hard. Kendrick rolls over on his back looking up taking a few deep breaths. Melody after being let go by Tony has rolled over to the ropes and is leaning on them on one knee. She takes a few deep breaths and sees the chair on the other side of the ring. She walks over to the chair and picks it up and looks at it. She turns around with the chair held high and walks towards Kendrick and Tony when boom. She is hit with a perfect dropkick from Kendrick! The chair slams into Melody hard as she drops it. Kendrick kick the chair out of the ring and instead of going for the cover walks over towards the turnbuckle and climbs up onto it looking around at the crowd.
Dynamite: Uh oh. High rent district.
Minx: This could turn out really good or really bad.
Kendrick sets up for a shooting star press but Tony who has recovered gets up and runs towards Kendrick. Tony gets up onto the ropes grabs Kendrick and superplexes him off the ropes! They both hit the mat hard, Kendrick getting most of it. Tony the opportunist, slides over onto Melody who is still down from getting hit by the chair. Bender drops down and starts to count. Before she can count though, Sammy’s music hits and he walks out onto the stage and smiles at Tony. He doesn’t proceed down the ramp though as he doesn’t want to get involved in the match. The unable to go for the pin gives Melody enough time to recover and she grabs Tony and goes for the roll-up!
Minx: She’s got him here!
ONE!
Dynamite: With Sammys help!
TWO!
Minx: How is it with Sammys help? He just walked out, it’s not like he interfered!
Before the count of three Kendrick runs over to break it up. He falls back to one knee after though, still clutching his lower back. Tony slowly gets up but is met with a DDT by Kendrick!

Tony picks up Kendrick with a smirk on his face and hits him with a Fishermans Suplex! He lets go instead of bridging it and proceeds to put Kendrick in a single legged boston crab. Tony pulls tighter and tighter with each pull of the hold. Kendrick slowly gets ready to tap before Melody starts to stir and Kendrick holds on just long enough for Melody to break the hold. Kendrick grabs his lower back after the hold and rolls under the ropes and out outside onto the floor kneeling trying to catch his breath while holding his back. Tony comes at Melody but Melody sends a gut to Tony, causing him to flip over her leg. He slowly gets up to one knee holding his gut and Melody hits him with a Shining Wizard!

The kick makes a smack throughout the arena as she falls down hard from it and rolls over onto her stomach. Kendrick waits for Tony to get up and smiles. Tony slowly gets up and Kendrick gets him onto his shoulders, his back laying across Kendricks shoulders.

Melody came back into the ring and saw Kendrick picking Tony back up. Melody and Kendrick team up once more, both irish whipping Tony across the ring. On the rebound Melody hits a superkick onto Tony which makes him stumble. This is immediately followed by an Angel Wings from Kendrick. Melody and Kendrick look at eachother. Kendrick motions Melody to go for the pin, as she does he blindsides her with a superkick of his own followed by a kick to the gut and a curb stomp! And immediately pins her.

Dynamite: Surely you didn’t think he was going to allow melody just to pin him, did you?
THRE...KICKOUT!!!!!
Marshal holds her arm up, frozen in time with Kendrick Kross slapping the mat out of frustration. Both competitors rise to their feet and at the last second, Melody Marshall ducks as Savage flies in and lands Cardiac Arrest on Kendrick Kross!

MINX: I am sure you would. You would still be in debt on an apology also.
THE DOLL: I have no clue what you are talking about.
Kendrick Kross approaches Melody Marshal and shakes her hand before leaving the ring.
MINX: A solid showing of sportsmanship from Kendrick Kross. Too bad we can't say that for Tony Savage.
Cameras take us backstage to the catering area where we find Brady Vega face down on a table with a piece of gold lying next to him. Adi Gold appears next to the fallen body and scoops the piece of gold off of the floor.

Chris Crippler -vs- Mark Storm©
====
LYOTO SILVA: The following contest is the MARQUEES OF QUEENSBURY RULES MATCH FOR THE GWD AMERICAN JUSTICE CHAMPIONSHIP!!
The crowd pops.
The lights in the auditorium switch off as “Symphony of Destruction” by Megadeth begins to play over the PA system, as soon as the guitar rift kicks in, the spotlights goes around the audience and the stage lights illuminate as Chris Crippler steps out from behind the curtain.
He casually strolls down the aisle way, ignoring the fans ringside, stepping up the ring steps to the apron and walking along to the middle. He gazes out at the crowd in attendance with a look of disgust before stepping through the ropes, Chris walks over to the opposite side of the ring, adjusting his wrist tape as he presses his back against the turnbuckles. Hawkins checks him for foreign objects as his music fades away. The lumberjacks, Tony Savage, Tapioca Joe, Kendrick Kross, Sammy Duke, and the Dog's of War henchmen, stand around on opposite sides.
DYNAMITE: I do believe the lumberjacks are really here just to keep it an even playing field.
MINX: You would know, you're pro-Dog's of War.
DYNAMITE: I am just an outsider looking in. I like what they stand for, but I am not one of them.
MINX: You don't have to lie Rollins.
DING! DING! DING!
Mark Storm and Chris Crippler circle one another around the ring, getting a feel for one another. The two lock horns in the center of the ring with Crippler challenging Storm to a test of strength. They interlock fingers together and Chris Crippler quickly kicks Storm in the thigh before stepping in and connecting with a european uppercut, leaving the Champion dazed. Chris Crippler uses a swift take down to slam Mark Storm to the canvas and then locks Storm in a modified wristlock that looks pretty painful. Storm battles to freedom and lifts Chris Crippler off the canvas before dropping to one knee performing an atomic drop that leaves an opening for Mark Storm clean Crippler's clock with a strong lariat! Mark Storm makes a cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Chris Crippler stumbles away from Storm with his bells still ringing. Storm swings and Crippler ducks out of the way, leaving himself an opening and he delivers the ol' southpaw left jabs before connecting with a stiff right hook. He pulls Storm into his grips and slams him with a belly to belly suplex before locking him into a dragon sleeper. Mark Storm uses his momentum to flip up and over Chris Crippler's shoulder, his body weight work in his favor and the champion is able to drill the challenger with a reverse ddt. Mark Storm hops to his feet and taunts the GWD fanbase and they boo him heavily for it.
THE DOLL: I totally should've been in this match.
MINX: You should've figured out how to defeat Mark---
DYNAMITE: THIS is one hell of a match. Pure wrestling.
Mark Storm waste no time, pulling Crippler to his feet and slamming with a huge knife edge chop. The echoes for the crowd to cringe and react as he backs Chris Crippler down. Crippler retaliates with a chop of his own. Crippler places Mark Storm in a wristlock and controls him once again, slowing down his pace and really bringing punishment to Mark Storm.
MINX: A storied rivalry that has jumped from promotion to promotion between these two competitors and tonight it's all about the grandest prize of them all.
DYNAMITE: That it is Kelsi. And because it's
Chris Crippler goes for a straight jacket clutch but the champion battles out and brings Crippler down to his stomach using a drop toe hold before quickly delivering double knees to the spine of Chris Crippler. Crippler rolls over in pain and Mark Storm takes this moment to lock Chris Crippler into a double wristlock of his own before repeatedly stomping on Chris Crippler's chest.
MINX: That was brutal.
THE DOLL: I like Mark Storm's angry side he wasn't always this mean.
DYNAMITE: He is normally loved everywhere he goes and he has made a following from it. Highly respected... Oh wow!
Out of nowhere Chris Crippler catches Mark Storm slipping and locks him into the Lexington Road Shooter. The GWD fans pop and begin the TAP chants, leaving the Lumerjack's on the outside to look around awestruck. The champion claws for the ropes but can't reach them.
GWD FANS: TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP!.... TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP!... TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP!... TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! ...
DYNAMITE: Oh.. can Mark Storm make it?!
THE DOLL: The timer's winding down on the first round.
GWD FANS: ...3 ...2 ....1!
A buzzer goes off and Griffin Hawkins hurries over to force Chris Crippler to release the hold and to step into his corner. The Champ rises to his feet and does the same.
DYNAMITE: We have reached the end of round one.
MINX: This is exciting. The judge, Griffin Hawkins is making his judgements.
THE DOLL: This will be exciting to see.
=========
ROUND I:
STORM©: 9-9-10
CRIPPLER: 10-9-10
=========
MINX: Here we go.
LYOTO SILVA: The judges have scored the first round, and the winner of the round one, CHRIS CRIPPLER!!!
The lumberjack's applaud Crippler on the outside and the fans cheer as Mark Storm stands in the corner glaring a whole through Griffin Hawkins.
DYNAMITE: Well, there's the answer to your thoughts of an impartial referee in Griffin Hawkins.
MINX: My questions have in deed been answered.
DING! DING! DING!
Mark Storm steps out of the corner and meets Chris Crippler in the center of the ring. SMACK! The slap echoes and the fans gasp in unison as the tensions rise and Chris Crippler shakes off the effects of the slap. Storm pulls Crippler close to him and slams him with an exploder suplex. He then mounts Chris Crippler and delivers multiple punches. Chris Crippler reverses the mount and we find him atop the Champion looking to lock him into one of his various wristlocks but Storm has it scouted and and wiggles his way to freedom. Both men end up on their feet and Chris Crippler knees Storm in the stomach before pulling him into a grapple and executing a gutwrench powerbomb. Crippler locks Storm in a hammerlock before rolling him into his back and pinning him.
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Storm barely kicks out in time and Griffin Hawkins rises back to his feet, stepping out of the competitor's way. Crippler allows Storm to reach a seated upright position before delivering a vicious kick to the spine and locking Mark Storm in a reverse chinlock.
MINX: Chris Crippler has the best strategy here, beat him down and continually place the champion in submissions to work the clock.
DYNAMITE: Mark Storm will come out victorious.
THE DOLL: Perhaps.
MINX: With the Dogs of War kept at bay thus far, you can only imagine what could happen. We still have three more rounds to complete, potentially.
With the clock winding down to just about three and a half minutes left in the second round, Storm is now on his feet but still in the chinlock. He delivers two elbows before lifting Chris Crippler off the canvas and slamming him via a textbook back body drop. Storm gains his freedom and rolls out of the ring to catch a breather. WHile on all fours gasping for air, Tony Savage and one other Dogs of War member huddle around him and Griffin Hawkins approaches the ring ropes and leans onto them immediately.
GRIFFIN HAWKINS: Hey! Hey! Get back in the ring!
Tony Savage helps Storm to his feet and soon after Tapioca Joe, Sammy Duke, and Kendrick Kross step over to where everyone is standing and Hawkins is forced to step out of the ring and get in the middle of it all. The two teams stand off as Mark Storm climbs to his feet and immediately dropkicks Tapioca Joe, inciting all chaos with one quick gesture. Kendrick Kross and Sammy Duke attack Tony Savage and the Dog of War Henchmen while Storm slides back into the ring where he and Chris Crippler duke it out in the ring with Griffin Hawkins mildly distracted on the outside and the clock winding down to a minute left.
Mark Storm executes a butterfly suplex and then transitions it into an uncomfortable looking armbar! Chris Crippler refuses to tap but we are unsure how much longer he can hold on. Griffin Hawkins finally makes it back into the ring with only a few seconds left and the war is breaking out all over the venue. In the crowd we see Sammy Duke leap from a fans chair and nail Tony Savage with a missle dropkick that sends him into the guard rail. Duke turns and walks into a huge dust cloud formed by an unknown white powder that the henchmen had thrown into Duke's face and Kendrick Kross.
Meanwhile back in the ring, Mark Storm pulls Crippler down to the mats using a japanese armdrag and transitioning into an armbar immediately. Chris Crippler tries hisbest to prevent Storm from locking in the hold, but Storm gets it locked in deep and Crippls can do nothing at this point. He rolls Storm up into a schoolboy out of desperation and Griffin Hawkins makes the count,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
The champion releases the armbar while kicking out of the pin attempt and both men roll away from one another. With the two competitors in the ring catching a breather, Kendrick Kross flips one of the Dogs of War henchmen over the guard rail causing him to crash onto the mats with a loud thud. Sammy Duke comes sprinting at Kross next, with powder residue on his face. Kross gives Duke a push as Duke leaps over him and Sammy Duke lands a big air frog splash onto the Dogs of War henchmen with the assist going to Kendrick Kross. Moments later Kendrick Kross comes tumbling over the guard rail along with Tony Savage.
THE DOLL: Oh wow! All hell has broken lose!
Back in the ring Mark Storm slips out of Chris Crippler's grasps and slams Crippler with a hip toss before landing a big basement dropkick that echoes. Mark Storm makes a cover,
...1!...
...KICKOUT!...
Chris Crippler kicks out aggressively and Mark Storm is quick to attack once more, this time attempting a shining wizard but it's ducked by Crippler and Storm takes a bump on the canvas. Storm climbs back to his feet and walks into Crippler's clutches and the Crippler performs a textbook pendulum backbreaker before transitioning the champion into a dragon sleeper and locking his legs around his waist.
MINX: This doesn't look good for the champion! He's got the Crippler's Nightmare locked in!
DYNAMITE: Oh no! Noooo! No! This can't be good. God is never defeated! Kick out! Bite him! Do something.
MINX: Chris Crippler knows he's got this. It's now or never! Look at the desperation in his eyes!
Chris Crippler wrenches back and Mark Storm can't take much more. Tony Savage follows Sammy Duke into the ring, cutting him off in the middle of his retreat from one of the Dog's of War henchmen and he hits Duke with a powerful clothesline that turns Sammy Duke inside out. Tapioca Joe steps in and tackles Tony Savage and the two competitors battle in the corner of the ring leaving Griffin Hawkins distracted as Mark Storm starts to fade out until he is no longer fighting the hold. Meanwhile. Hawkins is still trying to get a grip on all the chaos.
MINX: Oh come on! We've got a new champion! Turn around Griffin! Turn around!
DYNAMITE: No.Stay where you are.
Griffin Hawkins finally separates Tap and Savage just as Chris Crippler releases Mark Storm and rises to his feet angered.
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of round two!
DYNAMITE: He looks pissed.
Chris Crippler realizes the round has ended and Mark Storm just barely made it and he takes his anger out on Sammy Duke as soon as he rises to his feet he hammers him with stiff forearms and chops, all while Sammy Duke is trying to plead and explain himself. Griffin Hawkins catches wind of all of this and stats shouting and ejecting everybody from ringside!
MINX: Griffin Hawkins has had it!
DYNAMITE: When in doubt, punish them all.
LYOTO SILVA: Ladies and gentlemen, the special guest official, Griffin Hawkins has ejected all parties from ringside, this is no longer a lumberjack match, and it is now being deemed under Marqueesbury Rules, the rules are now going from strict traditional wrestling to a Blackpool Street Fight! Which means anything goes, but by special request from Griffin Hawkins, all members of Dogs of War and the Turtle Gang are barred from ringside!
The crowd erupts at the sound of this!
MINX: So the third round is going to be a Blackpool Street Fight? But what about the winner of the second round?
While security and officials clear out everyone from ringside, Mark Storm catches his wind on the outside leaving Chris Crippler in his own corner to cool off while medical staff checks on Sammy Duke.
LYOTO SILVA: The ballads are in for the second round and the winner of the second round is....CHRIS CRIPPLER!!
=========
ROUND II:
STORM©: 10-9-9
CRIPPLER: 9-10-10
=========
MINX: Oh my! The champion is down...2-0. This does not look good.
DYNAMITE: Always have faith Minx. Always have faith.
Chris Crippler walks around the ring in search of Mark Storm.
MINX: Where has our champion gone?
DYNAMITE: He up and disappeared. Only a God could do that. I told you Kelsi! I told you it was real!
MINX: We are now entering the third round and Chris Crippler is up two to nothing. Did Mark Storm call it quits?
DYNAMITE: Psh whatever! Do you know who you are talking about?
DING! DING! DING!
Chris Crippler steps out of the ring and Mark Storm slides out of the ring with the GWD American Justice Championship. Chris Crippler hits the ground and Mark Storm starts to deliver the boots to him while still holding onto the championship belt.
DYNAMITE: I knew he'd come back.
THE DOLL: That was a cowardly attack.
DYNAMITE: How is it cowardly if it's totally legal? Are you having an issue with the rules?
MINX: Shut up David.
DYNAMITE: That's Dynamite to you, hellbeast.
MINX: What?
DYNAMITE: You just denied God. Mark Storm is God of GWD.
MINX: You've lost it Rollins. Completely lost it.
Mark Storm pulls Chris Crippler to his feet and walks him up the aisle, delivering punches along the way. Chris Crippler fights back and lands a kick in the midsection before throwing the champion into the guard rail. Chris Crippler silences the crowd with a finger over his mouth and waits patiently for them to follow orders before he smacks Mark Storm across the chest with a knife edge chop. Storm hobbles toward the ring in pain. He slides back into the ring at the last second and Chris Crippler follows. Before Crippler can rise to his feet Mark Storm is on him with ruthless aggression. He whips Crippler acrossed the ring to the opposite ring ropes and upon his return he slams his rival via a spinebuster. Mark Storm hooks the leg and Ace Puerto Rico slides into position.
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
DYNAMITE: DAMNIT! Come on ref! That was a slow two.
MINX: It was not. Chris Crippler barely got his shoulder up. These two are looking to go the distance.
DYNAMITE: They really are.
Chris Crippler gets the shoulder up at the last second leaving everybody a little shocked. Mark Storm falls back into the ring cables and shoots out with with momentum before attempting a running senton. Chris Crippler moves out of the way and times up the perfect dragon screw. Storm's momentum and the velocity of the throw cause Storm to roll to the outside once again. Chris Crippler follows after him. Storm goes for a superkick but Crippler dodges it and Storm ends up hitting the ring post. Storm steps away limping and in a large amount of pain. Chris Crippler sees this and turns into a shake that sees blood. He hits the champion with a cut block to the back of the knee, forcing the champion to fall onto his hands and knees. The challenger guides Mark Storm to his feet, lifts him off the ground and performs a textbook shin breaker. With Mark Storm in pain on the outside, Chris Crippler locks in the LEXINGTON ROAD SHOOTER!! The crowd roars as Mark Storm shouts in pain and Ace Puerto Rico checks on him.
MINX: Oh my there is no where for him to go! Absolutely nowhere!
DYNAMITE: He's going find a way out, he usually does!
MINX: Hey wait a minute! That's a Kendo Stick!
DYNAMITE: We are under the rules of the Blackpool Street Fight. Anything goes.
Storm reaches under the ring unaware of what he has grabbed and just pulls him arm out and starts swinging. CRACK! CRACK! The kendo stick echoes with each thud and Chris Crippler is forced to release the champion and step away to create a little distance. Mark Storm hobbles to his feet, leaning on the ring apron to hold himself up before rolling back into the ring, still wielding the kendo stick. Chris Crippler steps back into the ring and steps on the kendo stick which forces Storm to release it and try to fight Crippler without any fear.
MINX: It's time to prove yourself Mark Storm! It's time to see who you really!
DYNAMITE: This can't be good.
Chris Crippler catches Storm as he tries to crawl away and lifts him from the canvas and slams him back down via the LEXINGTON PLEX! Ace Puerto Rico slides in to count,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Mark Storm kicks out and the crowd pops as Puerto Rico holds on his index and middle finger. The fans don't believe it and neither can Chris Crippler. Chris Crippler rises to his feet and is brought quickly by a drop toe hold from the Champion. As Crippler falls he smashes his throat into the middle ring cable and falls back clutching his neck. This is a sign for Mark Storm to take advantage. Storm looks at the clock and sees there is only forty-five seconds left in the third round and Storm starts to inflect as much damage as possible by delivering leg drop after leg drop after leg drop after leg drop before finally moving to repeated elbow drops.
MINX: What in the hell is this?! He could've just pinned the man!
DYNAMITE: Not necessarily Minx. What if the kick out happened to give him some points. You know judges see things differently.
MINX: This is not needed.
Mark Storm lands another round of leg drops in the final ten seconds before hitting one final standing 450 splash before the buzzer hits and Griffin Hawkins forces him back into his corner. Storm doens't listen and lands one more standing 450 onto Chris Crippler and the fans roar with boos and Griffin Hawkins shoves the Champion back, jamming a finger in his chest as he lays down the Law of Hawkins.
MINX: Wow, that was after the round was over. Mark Storm is just a bad sport.
DYNAMITE: Things are getting intense.
LYOTO SILVA: The judges have sent in their ballad and the winner of round three is...MARK STORM!!
MINX: What?!! How?
DYNAMITE: "I guess his shots at the end worked in his favor after all."
=========
ROUND III:
STORM©: 10-9-9
CRIPPLER: 9-9-10
=========
MINX: How is that possible?
DYNAMITE: Champions advantage I suppose?
Griffin Hawkins waits patently in the center of the ring with Chris Crippler and Mark Storm waiting patiently in their own corners staring fireballs through one another.
LYOTO SILVA: Ladies and gentlemen the fourth round of the Marquees of Queensbury Rules match will now be conducted under FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE RULES!!!
The fans roar at the sound of this as they know they will be in for a show.
DING! DING! DING!
Griffin Hawkins steps back and allows the two competitors to launch themselves from their corners and meet in the center of the ring. Each man exchanges punches while moving around the ring. Chris Crippler gets the better of the two and clotheslines Mark Storm over the top rope and dumps him to the outside. Hawkins slides out of the ring at the same time that Crippler does and he follows the two men around the ring side area as they fight like gladiators. Mark Storm has that kendo stick he pulled out earlier and swings it at Crippler. Crippler ducks it and instead retatliates with a textbook neck breaker on the outside before picking up the kendo stick and whipping Mark Storm like a problem child.
Crippler drops the busted kendo stick and grabs Storm by the back of the tights and the back of the neck before throwing him into the ring post! The champion smacks his shoulder and collar bone against the ring post and falls back in pain. Chris Crippler hurries over to him and makes the cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Storm throws the shoulder up but shouts out in pain immediately. Crippler catches wind of this and pulls Storm to his feet immediately and delivers a shoulderbreaker to the champion, causing him to flop on the ground in pain once more. Chris Crippler approaches Mark Storm slowly as Storm climbs to his feet. Crippler tries to clothesline the champion but the Champion ducks down and flips Chris Crippler over the guard rail and into the crowd. The fans circle around as Storm steps over and delivers the STORMSTRIKE!!! Storm falls to the ground in pain.
MINX: He doens't have it in him to make the cover. That stormstrike may have done more damage than good at this point.
DYNAMITE: I agree with you completely. I hope he's alright.
MINX: Chris Crippler has brought the fight to Mark Storm's front door. He's in the lead by two rounds, and right now Storm looks like he can barely finish this match.
Mark Storm notices Chris Crippler is still down on the ground and Storm hurries over to make a cover, draping one arm over Chris Crippler. Griffin Hawkins rushes over to count,
...1!...
...2!...
...BREAK COUNT!...
MINX: OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!
Chris Crippler transitions from his grounded position and moves quickly to lock the champion in an armbar! Markk Storm fights to freedom with all he's got. Agony is present on his face and uses all his strength to rise to his feet. Chris Crippler twists and turns and pulls Mark Storm down once again with Mark Storm in a large amount of pain he still fights back by biting Chris Crippler's thigh where flesh is exposed. He's forced to release Mark Storm and Storm crawls away, creating a greater distance from Chris Crippler.
MINX: Is biting illegal?
DYNAMITE: I honestly, have no clue at all.
MINX: Hawkins is allowing it.
Chris Crippler follows Mark Storm who is walking through the crowd and escaping to the ringside area. Crippler reaches ringside and steps over the guard rail only to have Mark Storm greet him via a step up enziguri that leaves Chris Crippler in a daze. Mark Storm throws Chris Crippler back into the ring and slides in after him. With Crippler trying to rise up and only making it to one knee, Storm then takes off to the ropes, bouncing off of them to return to his opponent with a bicycle knee to the face! Mark Storm makes a cover. Griffin Hawkins slides into the ring moments later,
...1!...
...2!...
....KICKOUT!...
Mark Storm lands three repeated leg drops before making another cover.
...1!...
...2!...
....KICKOUT!...
THE DOLL: Mark Storm brings this intensity that is unmatchable. Some call him a cheater, I think he's just a master of his craft.
Mark Storm can't believe it and goes to the wishing well again and lands repeated elbow drops and leg drops on Chris Crippler now. He stops after a fifth elbow drop and makes the cover,
...1!...
...2!...
....KICKOUT!...
Chris Crippler kicks out and Mark Storm really can't believe it. Chris Crippler sits up and Mark Storm kicks him in the chest, sending him back down. Chris Crippler sits uop once again a few moments later and the Champ grabs him by the hair and guides him to his feet. Chris Crippler pulls the Champion into a grapple and slams him to the canvas with an aggressive overhead belly to belly suplex. Chris Crippler pulls Mark Storm to the center of the ring and makes a cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
MINX: How?!! How does he keep kicking out.
Storm throws his shoulder up and we see the pain it cause him in his facial expressions.
DYNAMITE: The shoulder is definitely bothering Mark Storm. He may have broken a collar bone when he hit the ring post earlier.
Crippler allows Mark Storm to climb to his feet before sending him into the cables via the irish whip. Mark Storm returns and ducks under the clothesline and continues into the ring cables once again. Mark Storm shoots out of the ring cables again and this time he launches himself at Chris Crippler attempting a flying forearm but instead he is nailed by a european uppercut in midair from the british bruiser. The crowd gasps and the champion hits the canvas hard. Chris Crippler considers making the cover but instead pulls the champion to his feet and drives him to the canvas using an evenflow ddt! Chris Crippler makes the cover just as the clock is winding down.
...1!...
...2!...
THE ROUND ENDING BUZZER GOES OFF!!
Chris Crippler can't believe it. Griffin Hawkins explains the situation to Crippler and Crippler understands, but he's still pissed. He knows he had a missed opportunity there.
THE DOLL: The champion was saved by the bell.
DYNAMITE: Chris Crippler nearly had the American Justice Championship in his hands and he still might.
MINX: Let's wait on the judging.
LYOTO SILVA: The judges have scored the fourth round as a draw, and the winner of the fourth round....MARK STORM!!!
MINX: What?!!
DYNAMITE: It makes sense.
MINX: No it doesn't. We should have a new champion right now.
THE DOLL: Not necessarily.
LYOTO SILVA: The fifth and final round with begin and under the Marquees of Queensbury rules, the fifth round will be conducted under SUBMISSION MATCH RULES!!!!
The crowd pops for this as the technical aspects of the match are returning and this is a guaranteed shootout for the next five minutes.
=========
ROUND IV:
STORM©: 9-9-9
CRIPPLER: 9-9-9
=========
THE DOLL: So we are now tied at 2-2.
MINX: And we are moving into the final round, they've got five minutes to make one another submit.
DYNAMITE: This should be a good one.
DING! DING! DING!
Hawkins starts the round and Chris Crippler and Mark Storm step to the center of the ring and the champion unleashed an impending storm on his challenger. With Cris Crippler stunned Mark Storm slingshots out of the ring cables and his momentum stopped immediately by a stiff forearm to the jaw from Chris Crippler. Crippler locks up with the champion and brings him down aggressively via a double underhook suplex. Chris Crippler goes for his dragon sleeper but the champion battles back and prevents it from happening. Chris Crippler attempts a gutwrench suplex but the Champion transitions it into a tilt-a-whirl crossface!
THE DOLL: Chris Crippler may tap here.
MINX: Non sense. He's got far too much to lose here tonight.
DYNAMITE: He's battling for that bottom rope there. I think he'll make it.
MINX: He does. And Griffin Hawkins now ordering our champion to release the hold.
Crippler has his foot on the bottom rope and Mark Storm is forced to release the hold. The Champion rises to his feet and stomps on the lower back of Chris Crippler before guiding him to his feet and throwing him into the ring ropes via the irish whip. The Champion doubles over and Chris Crippler immediately hits the CRIPPLER DDT! Chris Crippler begins to lock the champion into the Lexington Road Shooter when all of a sudden someone in a Dog costume leaps over the guard rail holding a sign that says, "Cry Havoc!" The person in the dog suit drops the sign and steps onto the ring apron and Griffin Hawkins steps over to him and begins arguing with the fellow in the dog suit. Chris Crippler tries to lock the champion in the Lexington Road Shooter once again and this time Storm kicks his way to freedom forcing Crippler to stumble backwards and crash into Griffin Hawkins who then crashes through the ropes and knocks the person in the Dog costume off of the ring apron also.
MINX: Who is that?!
DYNAMITE: A fan from the Dogs of War section.
THE DOLL: What's he doing on the ring apron.
DYNAMITE: No, what's he doing with that chair. Griffin doens't see it----OOOOO!!
MINX: This is bull crap.
The person in the Dog suit grabs a chair and smashes it over Griffin Hawkins' head before he can realize what is going on and he knocks him out cold with the chair shot. The dog head comes off when he swings the chair revealing himself to be none other than Broseph. The fans roar with boos.
THE DOLL: BROSEPH?!
MINX: You've got to be kidding me. Was that planned?
DYNAMITE: What in the hell. Hahahaha we should've known it was one of the bro's.
Chris Crippler reaches over the ring ropes and grabs Broseph by the hair and Broseph swings the chair upward without looking and he cracks Chris Crippler over the skull and Crippler falls on his back on the canvas with Mark Storm still down on the canvas lying on his stomach unaware of what is happening. Broseph puts the dog head back on and helps Griffin Hawkins to his feet and slides him back in the ring although Hawkins is still a little bit dazed. With only a minute and thirty seconds left on the clock Broseph grabs his sign and scampers back into the crowd and joins the small but fierce Dogs of War section where they all celebrate.
MINX: Look at them, celebrating as if they've really achieved something. This is totally bullshit. Sammy Duke better get his match up!
Mark Storm shakes Griffin Hawkins until he jolts awake and walks over to a knocked out Chris Crippler with forty-five seconds left on the clock and Mark Storm proceeds to lock Chris Crippler in the Lexington Road Shooter. Chris Crippler is defenseless and motionless and Mark Storm just smiles and wrenches back on the hold with all his strength.
MINX: Oh yeah he's a real good representative of this company. What in the hell?!
DYNAMITE: The champion submitted Chris Crippler with his own move! That's the traits of a God.
MINX: Shut up Rollins.
Griffin Hawkins wakes up fully and can comprehend his surroundings with the clock at thirteen seconds and he sees a knocked out Chris Crippler and he calls for the bell before the timer runs out.
DING! DING! DING!
Mark Storm releases Chris Crippler and snatches the championship out of Griffin Hawkins hands and holds both arms up in victory with the championship dangling while shouting, "I am a God of War!" to the fans of GWD. They boo him and throw their drinks and food toward the ring as Tony Savage and the Dogs of War henchmen make their way to the ring to celebrate with the champion and Chris Crippler is still knocked out in the center of the ring.
LYOTO SILVA: Your winner.. AND STILLLL!!! GWD AMERICAN JUSTICE CHAMPION... MARK STORM!!
With the fans booing and streamers and confetti falling from the ceiling Mark Storm shouts into the camera with Tony Savage nearby we hear the crowd react with excitement and cheers as the Turtle Gang comes sprinting to the ring. The Dogs of War split from ringside and Sammy Duke grabs a microphone.
SAMMY DUKE: YO!! PUPPIES OF WAR!! HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!!
The Dogs of War stop in the center of the aisle with Mark Storm front and center.
SAMMY DUKE: Now, Mark Storm you cost me my opportunity to become Global Heritage Champion and now I am going to cost you you're American Justice championship! These people are ready to riot. I'm ready to riot. We all know you deserve a butt kicking and we all know I'm just the man to give it to you.
The Dogs of War mock Sammy Duke and laugh at him as he stands in the ring with more confidence than we've ever seen before. At that moment we hear the voice of Ethan Roerich before we actually see him.
MR. ROERICH: Hold up one gosh darn minute!! I make the rules around here!
Mr. Roerich appears at the top of the ramp and tons of security begin to appear. They leap the guard rail, they appear at all exits, and they appear on the aisle near Mr. Roerich.
MR. ROERICH: I'm sick of all this bickering back and forth. Sammy you want Mark Storm? You've got Mark Storm.
The crowd erupts and Sammy stands in the ring happy.
MR. ROERICH: In a tornado tag team match! It's going to be the Dogs of War against Sammy Duke and Kendrick Kross at Global Sabotage for the Manhattan Beach Invasion! And Broseph you didn't get away anything as you'll be facing Chris Crippler in a steel cage at Global Sabotage. Now back to you Sammy Duke, you've accused me being impartial to Dogs of War when I infact am not impartial to them I just happen to hate the fact that you believe you are in control of MY company. You made your demands on twitter and now I'm making mine. If you lose this tag team match you and you alone Sammy Duke will be forced to serve a sixty day probation as a slave to the Dogs of War! And to put an end to all this other stupidity that keeps happening, if the Dogs of War cheat to win the match will be forced to restart and if the Dogs of War are disqualified Mark Storm will be forced to vacate his championship belt.
Sammy raises the microphone to his lips but before he can speak he's cut off by Mr. Roerich.
MR. ROERICH: Shut your mouth Duke, no body asked you to speak. You've got spunk kid and I like you, but you've got to learn when to keep your mouth shut. Now go on and get ready. You're all going to be booked at Global Sabotage and that'll be your chance to get all your anger out. Now all of your, get out of my ring! I have security to help escort you.
Mr. Roerich exits to the backstage area to a mixture of cheers and boos from the fans with the Fighting Turtle Gang and the Dogs of War staring one another down and the security detail directing them in opposite directions. The cameras fade out after one last shot of Mark Storm taunting Sammy Duke and holding up the American Justice Championship.
FADE TO BLACK.
EVENT DATE: Feb. 18, 2018
==========
=====
EARLIER TODAY
=====
The familiar black SUV creeps to a stop and the two large unnamed henchmen step out of the driver and passenger doors and step to the back doors to open them both. On one side Tony Savage steps out and on the other the GWD American Justice Champion and winningest competitor on the roster, steps two feet onto the pavement and slams the door shut. The championship strap hangs over his shoulder as all four men make their stride, dressed in all black suits and they are approached by none other than Nigel Astin, the GWD reporter who is sporting a loud beyond belief hi-liter orange blazer coat. Just, yuck.
NIGEL ASTIN: Excuse me champ, can I get a word?
They slow their stride and Mark Storm removes his sunglasses.
MARK STORM: What's on your mind?
NIGEL ASTIN: What can we expect from this newly formed alliance here?
MARK STORM: What can you expect?
Storm looks around at the other members of their group. Savage steps up and leans of Storm's shoulder and talks at the microphone.
TONY SAVAGE: Did you see what happened at the press conference? Expect a lot of that.
The henchmen shoves the camera and we lose the feed.
The GWD Fans file in and take their seats in the Coliseum. It's business as usual amongst the Global Wrestling Division as they kick off Day One, of the GWD Global Heritage Festival! Fans arrive with signs, merchandise, replica belts, Mark Storm t-shirts, you name it, there's a good chance someone has a representation of it. The ring set up is the same, but Mr. Roerich has invested in black guard railing instead of silver. The ring ropes are orange and blue with the turnbuckles, posts, and ring skirts all black as usual. The GWD globe is printed in the center of the ring and we see Britney Anders, Kelsi Minx, and David Rollins taking their seats behind the announce table near ringside.
DYNAMITE: HOLY MOLY IT'S REAL!! GWD IS LIVE ONCE AGAIN AND WE ARE SET TO KICK OFF THE GLOBAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL!!!
THE DOLL: This is what it's like being on commentary, eh?
MINX: If you missed Puroresu, you missed out on a hellacious event. Tapioca Joe walked out as the Immortal Kingdom Crown winner and Mark Storm is yet to taste defeat!
DYNAMITE: That very well could happen when he steps into the ring against Chris Crippler for the last time!
MINX: You actually took a vote against God? Where is your faith?
DYNAMITE: Don't mock me Kelsi. This is serious! In a matter of days the state of Global Wrestling Division will be at stake.
MINX: Anyways, today is the first day of the Global Heritage Festival and today we will watch six first round matches held under standard rules. 12 competitors will begin, only 1 will leave as the Global Heritage Champion!
DYNAMITE: Let's also take a moment to welcome our new colleague in "The Doll" Britney Anders.
MINX: Welcome. Welcome.
DYNAMITE: We are so glad to have you here.
THE DOLL: Thank you.
MINX: Don't you have an apology to make still?
THE DOLL: So, it's been a hell of a past couole of weeks on twitter hasn't it? Press conferences have been pretty intense don'tcha think?
DYNAMITE: They certainly have. The Dogs of War brought harm to Sammy Duke the first day and then Jamal Scott a few days later.
MINX: They were fined a pretty penny and they didn't seem to care about dropping two thousands dollars each.
THE DOLL: It's quite true. Of course, we should really be talking about how I am going to sew Mark Storm for injuring me intentionally.
MINX: Just apologize.
MARK STORM: You know... I'm getting sick and tired.
The voice belongs to Mark Storm and a chorus of boo's echo as emerging from the back is Your Hero and Mine. His championship belt around his waist, wearing his Your Hero and Mine t-shirt, despite not being in action the current American Justice champion has made an appearance ahead of the Global Heritage Festival and you can tell by the look on his face, he's not happy.
MARK STORM: People wanna question my reign, question my decisions, question everything I do and why? Because they don't like it? Because they want to see a better Global Wrestling Division? Lemme tell you right now that without me this company wouldn't be mean jackshit in the great scheme of things. Without me, all those complainers, all those people who are banding up right now and forming a resistance callin' themselves the 'Honor Guard' - without me you wouldn't have a job. You wouldn't be able to make it through the months to provide for your families. Without me... you'd be nothing.
I'm the reason why this company is relevant. I'm the reason why talent is pouring in here and keeping the lights on. Kendrick Kross, he's here because of me, because he wants to take my championship and I can respect that, I really can. But if Kendrick wants to align himself with a group of ungrateful assholes then I can't respect him. All of a sudden he's stepping up to the plate and calling me out on twitter, like he matters - like I really care about what someone like Kendrick Kross thinks. But I'll tell you what I think about Kendrick Kross. He's a guy who's trying to make himself relevant by name dropping and picking out the best of the bunch, me. You've been here for what... three weeks? And now you're best friends with Sammy Duke and Tapicoa Joe? No, I don't buy it. You don't like them you're just using them as a pedestal, using them to make people think you matter when you really don't. But go ahead align yourself with those two and see what happens.
He walks down the entrance ramp, shaking his head sideways as he ignores the boo's and jeers from the audience. He rolls himself into the ring before demanding a chair to be thrown into the ring. He catches the chair and plants it dead in the center of the ring before sitting on it. He runs his fingers through his hair and allows the boo's to die down.
MARK STORM: And now Ethan wants to fine me? After everything I've done for this company. After everything I've done for him and this is how he repays me? You know, you're a lot of things Ethan but I didn't have you down as an idiot. Because the move you've made it's an idiotic move by an idiotic man and now I see where you stand with all of this. Now I know where your loyalty lies and it makes me question whether this place deserves someone like me. I'm the hero you deserve. I'm the hero you need but for some reason, you wanna treat me like the villain?! For some reason, in your story, I'm the bad guy but that doesn't make sense, does it Ethan? That doesn't make sense because how can the bad guy constantly pack shows since DAY ONE of business? People weren't here to see Deacon Crane or Britney Anders, or even Chris Crippler. They were here to see me and ever since then that's been the same story week in and week out, I've packed out shows and sold tickets faster than any motherfucker in the back! THAT'S ALL BEEN ME! Not Sammy Duke. That guys as ugly as my left ball sack. In fact, my left ball sack is probably prettier than he'll ever be. Not Chris Crippler. Time and time again he's been beaten and somehow, someway he manages to get a title match? Bias. And certainly, not Tapocia Joe.
"TAP - TAP - TAP!"
"TAP - TAP - TAP!"
"TAP - TAP - TAP!"
MARK STORM: You wanna know how I feel about all of this? I feel disappointed. Because even after everything I've done for this company, you people wanna boo me and ridicule me and tell me that I'm not worthy to have this championship belt! After everything I've done, you people wanna 'hashtag' stand with Sammy. After everything I've done, you people still don't realize that the only thing that's real in this company, is me. And hell, Tony too! You see Tony, he saw an opportunity and snatched it with both hands! Tony recognizes real and that's why he's a Dog of War. That's why he's the best thing about this dump. But he'll get mistreated too because he knows the truth. And the truth is, this company doesn't care about people like me or him. But they should. Because if they continue to mistreat talent like us then we'll just up and leave. Hell, I'll take this championship belt and defend it over in Four Corners Wrestling, a place where at least the fans fucking respect me. Heck, maybe I'll even go back to Extreme Wrestling Corporation... but I don't know, somehow they'll still manage to fuck me over, too and gift the title to Drake or maybe even Xplode!
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
MARK STORM: What I'm saying is that if you continue to disrespect me, then I'm gonna leave with this American Justice Championship and I can promise you this, I'm going to be holding onto this title for the entirety of my contract. I've got four months left and I can think of a dozen places that'll be happy to see my face walk through their doors. You don't deserve me... you don't deserve Tony Savage... and you definitely don't deserve my American Justice title. From Your Hero, and Mine.
Dropping the microphone and Short Change Hero by The Heavy begins to play.
MINX: Wow...His ego is through the roof.
THE DOLL: Words from a God I suppose. He's still no goddess like me.
DYNAMITE: It appears our first match is about to begin.
LYOTO SILVA: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with a twenty minute time limit, and it is a Quarter FInal match in the Global Heritage Festival tournament!
====
[- GLOBAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL TOURNAMENT -]
QUARTER FINALS ROUND
Nameless -vs- Melody Marshall
====
Inside the arena, the lights dim and the a blue hue takes over the stage / ramp area. Smoke fills the entrance way as emerging through it to the sounds of "Spirit Of A Believer" is Melody Marshall. She is introduced the ring announcer as she slaps the hands of some lucky fans ringside before sliding into the ring. She kneels down and points a finger in the air as streamers fall atop her.
LYOTO SILVA: Entering first, the Battle Angel....MELODY MARSHALL!!
MINX: Melody Marshall came so close to achieving the Immortal Kingdom Crown at Puroresu a few weeks ago.
DYNAMITE: It was an amazing event. An amazing night. An amazing--
MINX: We get the picture Rollins.
Back In Black by AC/DC hits the airwaves. As the cameras focus on the stage.. the stage instantly fill's with stage smoke. After a moment passes, Namelss walks directly through the smoke towards the ring. Nameless makes his way around the ring then climbs onto the apron. As he stares in the middle of the ring.. The music fades before Nameless climbs through the ropes into the ring.
MINX: You can see the visible bandages he still has from his match with Sammy Duke.
DYNAMITE: Melody Marshall has one hell of a mountain to move.
DING! DING! DING!
The bell sounds and the fans are instantly pleased as Melody Marshall doesn't back down from Nameless as he charges forward. Marshall uses her speedy to execute a step up enziguri on Nameless, forcing him to slow down a bit. She keeps the pace in her favor and immediately lands a basement dropkick to the shins. Nameless drops to the canvas but he hobbles back to his feet quickly. Marshall delivers power strikes but Nameless just absorbs them and plows throw the Battle Angel, shoving her into the turnbuckle and knocking the wind out of her partly.
MINX: Melody Marshall nearly created an opening for herself.
Nameless grabs Marshall by the collar of her attire and tosses her across the ring like a rag doll. She skips around like a rock on water and rolls into the turnbuckle. She some how pulls herself to her feet, still disoriented and just barely dodges the splash from Nameless. Nameless smacks the turnbuckles and Melody Marshall flies in and connects with a super kick! Nameless falls down immediately. Marshall makes a cover,
...1!...
...KICKOUT!...
DYNAMITE: It's going to take more than that to keep Nameless down.
Nameless throws his arms up and Melody Marshall flies into the air and lands on the referee. PJ shakes off the bump and gets out of the way as soon as possible. Nameless grabs Melody Marshall and lifts her into a gorilla press and walks in a circle, delaying the inevitable before dropping her onto his shoulder and slamming her to the canvas via a powerslam! Nameless pins her and PJ drops down to count,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
MINX: Ooo Nameless nearly had a victory there.
Melody Marshall throws her arms in the air. Nameless pulls Melody Marshall to her feet and Melody Marshall breaks free and starts delivering stiff punches and buzzsaw kicks to the inner thigh, breaking down the monster one limb at a time. Melody slings into the ropes and as she fires out she is hit by the running crossbody from Nameless. Marshall hits the mat like a sack of potatoes and Nameless quickly rises up to drop an elbow across her sternum before making a cover.
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
MINX: And a near fall by Nameless.
DYNAMITE: You've got to wonder what can actually help Melody Marshall defeat Nameless?
MINX: She's got the skillset, she'll find a way.
Nameless throws Melody Marshall into the ring ropes and doubles over. Marshall flips over Nameless and runs for the ring cables. She shoots out just as Nameless is fully turned around and nails him with a running high knee that lands perfectly on his jaw! Nameless stumbles backward and bounces out of the ring ropes and swings a big lariat attempt against Marshall. Marshall ducks under it and stands her ground for Nameless' next attack. Melody leaps at Nameless but he catches her in mid air and slams her down to the canvas using a spinning spine buster!
MINX: Nameless is a such a force!
DYNAMITE: Yeah, an immovable force.
Marshall fights back to her feet and refuses to back down from Nameless. She goes for a savate kick but Nameless catches her feet and she immediately switches legs and connects with a mule kick. Marshall lands on her feet and quickly connects with a spike ddt! Melody Marshall makes a cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
MINX: Hey Anders.. that apology.
Melody Marshall waits patiently as Nameless begins to rise to his feet and she starts to deliver shoot kicks to the rib cage and spine. She walks around Nameless in circles, never standing in one place for too long. Nameless waltzes himself right into Marshall's path and she performs a tornado ddt! Nameless lay on the canvas motionless.
MINX: Make the cover Melody! Make it happen!
DYNAMITE: Melody Marshall is heading to the top rope.
MINX: What's she got in mind?
The cameras flash as Melody Marshall lands a frog splash on Nameless and hooks the leg,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
DYNAMITE: Phew! Close call.
THE DOLL: Very close call. An impressive frog splash also, a very unique variation.
MINX: Melody Marshall was on her way to the semi-finals round. Or so we thought. She has all the ability to lead the Global Heritage Championship division.
Melody Marshall goes for the standing 450 but Nameless rolls out of the way at the last minute. Nameless pulls Marshall to her feet and slams her to the mat with a sidewalk slam. Nameless makes a cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Nameless rises with anger and fire in his eyes and he pulls Melody Marshall to her feet.
DYNAMITE: This doesn't look good for the Battle Angel.
MINX: It doesn't look good at all.
THE DOLL: It looks like what would happen if I stepped in the ring with either of these two.
MINX: So you're still owing us an apology, why?
DYNAMITE: Don't go there Minx. Not now.
MINX: Like.. why though?
THE DOLL: I'm ignoring her Rollins. Who is that?
A man in a security guard suit wielding a club hops the guard rail. Nameless sees this man and slides out of the ring on the other side.
MINX: Who is that?!
DYNAMITE: I have no clue!
THE DOLL: Who is this person?
Nameless sprints up the aisle toward the back. The guard with the club sprints after him, leaving Melody Marshall alone in the ring to rise to her feet, catching her breath just as the referee reaches a count of five.
...6!...
...7!...
...8!...
MINX: This one looks like it's going to end with a victory for Marshall.
...9!...
...10!...
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: Your winner, by count out...MELODY MARSHALL!!!
Melody Marshall gets her hand raised and the fans give a shallow cheer as a much better match could have been given to them had the antics not occured. Melody even exits the ring mildly angered and chatting with the fans about how she is also upset about the interference.
THE DOLL: So, Melody Marshall will advanced to tomorrows round of tournaments, this is exciting. She is first to make it into the next round.
Cameras take us backstage to the locker room area where we see the Dog's of War standing over Sammy Duke. Duke is crawling on all fours, damp hair, and the two large henchmen along with Tony Savage, watching and stalking him as he moves further away from them and the fans can be heard booing faintly.
THE DOLL: Pardon me but... hahahahahahahahahaahhha...I'm sorry this is so-- hahahahaha..
MINX: This is just awful.
DYNAMITE: Poor Sammy Duke. He had it good while it lasted.
THE DOLL: Hhahahahahahahha oh my gosh... This is awesome.
MINX: He's scheduled to compete next!
They make it into the hallway and the Dogs of War take off in the opposite direction just as Kendrick Kross and Tapioca Joe arrive.
KENDRICK KROSS: They can't keep doing this!
Sammy sits up, in a bit of a daze.
SAMMY DUKE: I'm alright. They just shoved my face in the toilet and through flour in my face.... felt like high school all over again. But I am fine.
MINX: Roerich may have a serious issue here.
DYNAMITE: Whatever the situation is, perhaps Super Stacy can help out?! ..Wait.. where is she going?
The cameras take us to the backstage area where Stacy Sterling can be seen wheeling her luggage behind her and heading toward the double doors. Out of nowhere Tony Savage and the other three Dogs of War enter the frame and jump on Stacy. Savage trips her up just as the GWD American Justice champion shoves her and she goes flying through the glass door!
MINX: What the hell?!
DYNAMITE: Oh my gosh we better get some help for her.
THE DOLL: The Dog's of War are on a warpath right now.
MARK STORM: Somebody call Roerich.
He bursts into laughter as Tony Savage throws a large wad of cash into the air and the Dogs of War members begin leaving frame slowly.
TONY SAVAGE: There's enough for her medical bills, fixing the door, and even enough to resign both of us.
He gives a big arrogant thumbs up before exiting the frame as well. An ambulance is seen arriving in the parking lot and other medical staff members arrive to check on Stacy Sterling.
MINX: This one is going to happen early! These two will be fighting all night.
DYNAMITE: Try all week. This heated rivalry between pretty much the GWD roster and the Dogs of War is getting more intense by the minute.
We return and Sammy Duke and Tony Savage are fighting each other down the aisle and heading toward the ring.
====
[- GLOBAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL TOURNAMENT -]
QUARTER FINALS ROUND
Sammy Duke -vs- Tony Savage
====
DING! DING! DING!
The bell sound and Sammy Duke attacks Tony Savage immediately with punches, eventually backing him into the corner. Duke grabs hold of the top ring cable and starts delivering the boots to Savage with more aggression than we have ever seen from Sammy Duke. The fans roar for Sammy.
THE DOLL: Why do they like this little worm?
DYNAMITE: Boy is he pissed at Tony Savage right now.
Sammy Duke attempts an irish whip but Savage reverses it and uses Duke's momentum against him to send him back into the turnbuckle instead. Savage charges forward and lands a step up knee strike to the chin of Sammy Duke before pulling him away from the corner and slamming him to the canvas via a t-bone suplex. Tony Savage makes the cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Duke kicks out of the first fall of the contest and battles back to his feet. He hits Savage with a punch to the stomach and Savage retaliates with a european uppercut. Savage grabs Duke by the back of the head and marches a few steps forward and slams Duke face first into the turnbuckle.
MINX: Sammy Duke is doing pretty well considering.
DYNAMITE: Considering he got attacked previously or--
THE DOLL: Or considering he's Sammy Duke. Like eww.
Savage pulls Duke away from the corner and throws him between the ropes and to the outside.
MINX: He just treated Duke like a ragdoll.
THE DOLL: Ok, so Tony Savage... Total Hunk.
Savage steps out of the ring leaving Pj Ché to begin a count out. Savage ignores it and throws Duke into the guard rail before smacking Duke across the chest. The echoe forces the crowd into silence and Sammy Duke walks away, slowly descending to one knee. Tony Savage runs up to him and kicks him in the shoulder blades and Duke falls forward onto the mats on the outside. PJ reaches a count of seven before Dogs of War member Tony Savage slides back into ring, canceling the count and getting into PJ's face and exchanging a few words.
MINX: Savage is a big bully.
THE DOLL: He stepped off a California Dream Boat.
Outside, Sammy Duke can be seen recollecting himself as he grabs onto the apron and uses it to help himself back up onto his feet. Savage rolls to the outside and clubs Sammy around the back before rolling him into the ring and following. Duke crawls towards the ropes and Savage stalks like a predator, watching him gradually get to his feet. Once he does, Savage slaps him into a side headlock and he wrenches the hold. Bringing him to the center of the ring and dropping down to a knee, squeezing as tightly as he possible. Duke winces but does well to fight his way back up to his feet, pushing Savage back into the ropes and forcing him to the opposite set. Savage bounces off of them before forcing Duke to the ground with a shoulder barge. He then takes off to the ropes whilst Duke moves across the canvas from a grounded position, looking to trip up Savage but he reacts fast and hops over him. Savage bounces off of the opposite ropes and this time Duke leapfrogs over him. Savage comes off of the ropes again and Duke manages to hit him with a dropkick!
Rising to his feet, Duke then poses to the crowd and a thunderous round of applause commences afterward! He nods his head in appreciation before turning to see where Savage is. Savage leans against the turnbuckle, catching his breath.
MINX: Sammy Duke comes into this match as the underdog. He's going up against a world champion, and someone who's been a world champion quite literally everywhere he's wrestled in Tony Savage.
DYNAMITE: But I think that's what Duke is accustomed to. I think he's used to being the underdog and overcoming the odds and man, what a win it would be for him and his career if he manages to pull off a win against a veteran like Tony Savage. He has what it takes... he has the heart and spirit and the ability, and in big matches like these, that's when you turn up with everything you've got in the tank.
Duke runs towards Savage and is met with an elbow to the side of the head. Duke stumbles backwards but comes back at Savage and this time it's the boot of Savage that meets his head. For a third time Duke heads over to him but this time he catches his boot and drops it, before grabbing Savage but his waist and attempting to deadlift him. Savage watches him with a face of confusion before letting out a chuckle. The fans are getting behind Duke, wanting him to hit the move but Savage is far too big in comparison. It's a bionic elbow from Savage that forces Duke to let go and he stumbles backwards before falling onto his ass.
Savage mocks him, asking whether he truly believed he was ever going to lift him. He then kicks him whilst his down, targeting the head of Duke and this elicits boo's from the crowd. Savage grabs him by the arm and continues to kick him in the head, asking whether Duke is going to allow him to mock him the way that he is. You can tell that Duke is growing frustrated, his eyes light up with every kick to the head and there's a fire in his eyes. Duke makes it to his feet with Savage continuing to boot him. Duke blocks the boot attempt, fires back with a series of knife edge chops that catch Savage off guard before he wraps his arms around his waists, and finally manages to lift him up and over for a belly to belly that sends the arena rocking in a frenzy.
DYNAMITE: And he's done it! The belly to belly from Sammy Duke!
THE DOLL: How the hell did he manage to pull that one off?
The two race to their feet with Sammy managing to bring him back down to the canvas with an armdrag. They race back up and this time it's a hiptoss from Sammy. Tony sit's up in a seated position and Sammy claps his hands before landing a basement dropkick on Savage! Savage rolls across the canvas and onto the apron, holding onto his jaw as Sammy approaches him. Sammy grabs him, looking to suplex him back into the ring - but that burst of strength isn't on right now. He's unable to lift the much heavier Tony Savage on this occasion, who manages to lift him up and onto the apron with him. The two then begin a war of strikes that connects fluidly in a fast manner, one shot after the other with the crucial one coming from Tony Savage, an elbow that sends Sammy staggering backwards. Savage then runs towards him, dropkick to the knee's that sends Sammy landing face first on the apron, the hardest part of the ring.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!"
The fans cringe at the impact. Sammy holds onto his nose whilst Tony gets to his feet and poses arrogantly, looking macho as he stands on the apron.
MINX: Say what you want to say about this man, but you can't say he isn't charismatic.
DYNAMITE: He's got the look, I'll give him that Minx.
Both men are now in the ring and Tony hooks the leg of Sammy.
... 1! ...
... 2! ....
A kickout from The Lion.
Savage nods his head and wipes the sweat that beams down his forehead. He gets to his feet and picks Sammy up with him. Irish whip to the corner before following, Sammy rolls out of the way just in time. Tony turns and finds Sammy running at him, he lifts him up and turns him round, placing him on the top rope. Sammy manages to kick him away and Tony staggers backwards, turning himself round and holding onto his head. He turns back around and Sammy leaps off but Tony moves out of the way too. Sammy lands on his feet before rolling through and turning to face Tony. The two are running at each other with Sammy sliding underneath the legs of Tony, who looks bewildered at the action of it. He turns and is almost caught with a sweet chin but he side steps. Sammy runs at him and Tony lifts him up and spins him round, looking for his spinebuster but at the last second, Sammy reverses it into a DDT, planting the head of Tony firmly on the canvas.
THE DOLL: Impressive by Sammy Duke
MINX: A great reversal to put things in his favor, that's for sure.
He covers.
... 1! ...
... 2! ...
... BREAK COUNT! ...
MINX: NO FREKAING WAY!!
GWD American Justice Champion places his belt under the turnbuckle and then steps onto the ring apron and the ref stops counting to prevent him from entering the ring. With the ref distracted Sammy Duke steps away from Tony Savage and puts his attention on the argument between Mark Storm and Nicole Bender.
THE DOLL: This is genius. Savage just picked up the American Justice championship.
Tony Savage swings the championship at Sammy Duke and Sammy Duke ducks under it. As soon as Savage turns around, SMACK! He's hit with the Sweet Shin Music! Mark Storm drops down from the ring apron and Sammy Duke picks up the championship belt just before Nicole Bender turns around. All she sees is Tony Savage on the canvas clutching his forehead and Sammy Duke holding the championship. She immediately calls for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
MINX: Oh no no nooo not like this!
DYNAMITE: Seriously?!
THE DOLL: HAHAHH YESSSS!!
Sammy Duke tries to plead with her, but she's not having it.
LYOTO SILVA: The winner of the match, by rule of disqualification.... TONY SAVAGE!!
The fans roar with boos as Sammy Duke still tries to plead with Nicole Bender. Tap and Kendrick Kross rush to ringside and and they all attempt to plead with Nicole Bender, meanwhile the Dogs of War scamper away from ringside in a hurry.
MINX: They better get out of here while they still can. I don't believe it. What is wrong with her?!
DYNAMITE: Her decision was final.
MINX: Nicole Bender isn't standing with Sammy apparently.
Backstage EMT's are loading a stretcher with Stacy Sterling on it into the ambulance. Ethan Roerich stands outside the venue near the big vehicle with the Head Doctor giving him specific instructions. Gail McKenna appears in front of the camera.
GAIL MCKENNA: Hey everybody, it's Gail McKenna here reporting to you live from the Global Heritage Festival! We are currently seeking some information on what has happened to the super heroine, Stacy Sterling. Excuse me, Mr. Roerich do you have a moment to answer a couple questions?
The Doctor finishes his sentence and steps away leaving Mr. Roerich and the GWD media team.
MR. ROERICH: Gail can this wait? I'm kind of busy right now.
GAIL MCKENNA: But we all want to know what's going to happen--
The Titaness, Samantha Hamilton barges into the frame, silencing everyone with her unannounced presence.
THE TITANESS: With my opponent out of commission, who is going to replace her?
MR. ROERICH: Uhh.. gee.. I umm.. I haven't even had time to resolve that either. You get an automatic advance. Just be ready to compete tomorrow.
The Titaness walks away with a cold stare.
MR. ROERICH: Get these cameras out of here.
The feed cuts to ringside.

QUARTER FINALS ROUND
Philadelphia -vs- Broseph
====
The riffs of “Let ‘Em Talk” begin as the crowd starts to cheer. Philadelphia comes out when the singing begins, as she claps to the crowd, getting them pumped up. She does a twirl, showing off her body, before raising a fist into the air. She walks down the ramp, slapping the hands of the fans along the way and making an effort to hug every little girl. She climbs the steps, dancing along with the song, before stepping through the ropes. She kisses her fist and hoists it in the air again to the cheers of her fans. She paces around the ring, making small talk with the ref as her music fades out.
The awesome riff of Rock and Roll Part 2 by Gary Glitter begins to play and as the song picks up out walks Broseph with his best bro Henry by his side. The two men gyrate and bounce to the ring as the crowd boo relentlessly. They get to the ring Broseph mounts a corner turnbuckle making random hand gestures in a lame attempt at being cool.
THE DOLL: Where's Lyoto?
MINX: The think he's having an issue with his microphone.
DYNAMITE: It happens folks.
DING! DING! DING!
Philadelphia locks up with Broseph in the center of the ring. Broseph transitions into a hammerlock and then drops down and pulla Philadephila into a roll up. PJ Che drops down to count.
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: Your winner by pnifall, BROSEPH!
MINX: Wait, it's over?!
DYNAMITE: Oh wow! Broseph might hold the record for fastest match in GWD history!
Broseph gets his hand raised in victory and celebrates heavily on his way up the aisle.

QUARTER FINALS ROUND
Equinox -vs- Kendrick Kross
====
The beginning of Snuff starts playing through the loudspeaker with the lights completely off. The lights slowly turn on as smoke begins to rise. At :20 when the lyrics start Kendrick rises from the floor with his head down. He slowly raises his head as the smoke starts to fill the arena. Kendrick slowly starts walking down towards the ring. Kendrick slowly walking, wearing a leather jacket, white tank top, black jeans and red high top sneakers stops in the middle of the ramp head down.
LYOTO SILVA: "From Chelsea, London....weighing in at 215 pounds.....Kendrick Kross!
Kendrick slowly continues walking down the ramp until getting to the end of the ramp where he turns left, goes up the step and climbs into the ring as fire shoots out of the turnbuckles when he gets to the middle.
"Welcome to My Madhouse!!!!! Tonight we rise!!!!!!"
As the stage, as well as the ringside area, slowly begins to fill up with white smoke as the crowd watches in anticipation. Suddenly, something began to rise out of the stage, as if rising from the depths of the mist itself. The fans began to erupt as Equinox hidden underneath the smoke begins to rise out of the smoke as you can see parts his face paint revealing itself hidden under his mask. His arms outstretched to the Rising Revolution as if drawing in their strength before stepping into battle.
"You Wear a Crown but You're No King" by blessthefal go out as it hits over the PA System as the Titan trons begins to play the video highlighting Equinox who would be competing into one of the tonight's many events.
SEEK ME! CALL ME!
I'LL BE WAITING!!!
The fog still thick and envious as if to cloud him from their vision as he makes his way out. As the beat gets faster, Equinox walk faster as his feet trot along to the beat as he is shown in his white Assassin's creed overcoat, his conjoined white and black mask hiding his face, black tank top, and his customized arm covers over each arm in hues of black, charcoal gray, red. His face hidden behind a wild mask of face paint. The fans cheering as the ring announcer announces GWD's own High Spot Superhero.
LYOTO SILVA: From St. Louis, Missouri!!!! Weighing in at 235 Ibs....He is "The Human Highlight Reel", He is "The High Spot Hero" Equinox!!!!!!!
Equinox slowly makes his way down the rows and rows of fans on his right side til he goes full square around to each of the fans. Then heads to greet the ones he missed, before turning around before heading full throttle into the ring sliding under the bottom rope feet first as his body flies at full speed. Smiling big and wide, He gets up quickly playing to the crowd. Proceeding up to each turnbuckle pointing out to the fans for they are why he is here tonight before climbing to the top turnbuckle and somersaulting off the top landing on his feet in the ring. Once finished he take off his overcoat as well as his mask and hands both of them to the Ref.
DING! DING! DING!
Equinox attacks Kross in the early going with stiff right jabs. He throws Kross into the ring ropes and Kross shoots out of the ring cables and connects with a back elbow. Equinox hits the canvas hard and that allows Kendrick Kross the opportunity to shoot for a knee bar but Equinox kicks his way to freedom and hurries back to his feet. Equinox grabs Kross and slams him via an exploder suplex! Equinox goes for the standing moonsault but Kross rolls out of harms way. Once Equinox is in his clutches Kross slams him to the canvas via the dragon suplex! Kross waits little time in locking Equinox in an arm bar. Equinox is quick to wiggle free and as soon as both men make it to their feet, Equinox greets Kross with a kick in the stomach before following it up with an implant DDT! Equinox makes the cover, hooking the leg,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Equinox kicks Kross, arrogantly in the shoulder as he tries to rise to his feet. Equinox steps onto the ring apron and hits a big, springboard blockbuster on Kendrick Kross.
THE DOLL: The DDT really took Kross out of it.
MINX: Knocked him out of it completely.
Equinox lifts Kendrick Kross off the canvas via a deadlift and slams him down with a german suplex! Equinox bridges his body,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
THE DOLL: Equinox is looking to make a name for himself around GWD.
MINX: Defeating Kendrick Kross could help him do that, but if he's not careful, Kross may do the same to him.
DYNAMITE: Both are about to put on a wrestling clinic tonight.
Kendrick Kross has the upper hand now and after avoiding a strike from Equinox has him locked into a grapple and slams him down via a capture suplex. Kendrick Kross makes a cover,
...1!...
...KICKOUT!...
Equinox kicks out quickly and then rolls away from Kross's clutches forcing Kross to fall into his trap. Equinox rolls Kross into a cross armbreaker and Kross flops around the ring in pain and Equinox has focus on his face. PJ Ché checks on Kross and Kross refuses to tap and at the last moments he grips onto the bottom ring cable with his feet. Equinox rolls away from Kendrick Kross, both men make it to their feet at the same time and Equinox immiedately goes for the step up enziguri, but instead flops onto the canvas, knocking the wind out of himself after Kendrick Kross ducks below him. Kross holds onto Equinox's foot and locks him into an STF!
MINX: A total role reversal here.
Equinox grabs hold of the ring rope and Kendrick Kross allows him his freedom from the STF. Once back on to his feet, Kendrick Kross backs Equinox into a corner immediately and smothers him with punches. Flying K steps back a few steps, creating some distance only to close the gap once again. Equinox ducks underneath the clothesline and executes a double knee back stabber! Kross bounces into the air and hit the canvas and arches his back after impact.
THE DOLL: That looks like it hurt. He may have broken something.
DYNAMITE: You're right, he broke his own fall.
MINX: Equinox is making another pin attempt.
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
They make it back to their feet and Kendrick Kross hits the aggressive Equinox with two quick jabs before following up with a head butt. Equinox stumbles away in a daze and Kross charges forward, gaining momentum with each step. Equinox drops out of harms way and pulls down on the ring ropes, causing Kross to topple to the outside. Equinox leaps over attempting a crossbody plancha, but Cross catches him in mid-air ahd slams him into the guard rail using a fallaway slam!Kross pulls Equinox to his feet and throws him back into the ring quickly. Kross steps onto the ring apron and attempts a floatover tornado ddt but Equinox instead reverses it into a manhattan drop! kross springs up gripping his crotch and Equinox connects with a superkick!
DYNAMITE: THE ONE PERCENT KICK!
MINX: Kendrick Kross is down. He's down. He's not moving.
Equinox climbs onto the ring apron and then steps up to the top rope and the fans are cheering him on.
THE DOLL: These fans will get you killed. This guy is an idiot, I'm telling you. Mark Storm has the right mindset.
MINX: So clearly you weren't worthy of lacing his boot.
DYNAMITE: Oh shit.
Equinox rises and Kendrick Kross jumps to his feet quickly and slaps Equinox's feet from underneath him and Equinox racks himself on the turnbuckle. Kendrick Kross steps up and slams Equinox to the canvas with a t bone suplex from the top rope! Cameras flash throughout the venue and Kross makes the cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: Here is your winner by pinfall...KENDRICK KROOSSSSS!!
Nicole Bender raises Kross' hand in victory and the fans cheer for him as he celebrates and shakes hands with Equinox. The two show excellent sportsmanship as they exit the ring.
Cameras take us to an undisclosed location in Los Angeles, it looks like a large parking lot, but all we see is the Coliseum in the background and a large chainlink fence. A security guard approaches and unlocked the door before shoving it open.
SECURITY GUARD: Have a good evening Ms. Marshall.
Melody Marshall appears, dressed in street clothes and wheeling a luggage back.
MELODY MARSHALL: Thanks you too. See you guys tomorrow.
Just as Melody steps through the opening, Sammy "The Lion" Duke and Tapioca Joe arrive with look of desperation on their faces.
TAP: Melody where are you going? We need you to stay here. The Dogs of War are running a muck of the joint.
MELODY MARSHALL: I told you guys, after the Global Heritage Championship is secured I'll be more than willing to help out. But I'm focusing on me right now, that's not my battle. Roerich will handle it, you guys are doing too much. Let it go.
Marshall continues through the gate opening and enters the LYFT that has been waiting for her. Sammy and Tap look at each other with disappointment and head back toward the arena, dissappearing into the darkness.
Backstage our cameras take us to the Dogs of War locker room where GWD American Justice Champion is seen placing the prestigious strap on the bench next to him. Tony Savage and the two Large Men are seated at a small poker table playing a game when all of a sudden there is a knock at the door. They all look up from what they are doing and stare at the door in silence for a moment.
MARK STORM: It's open.
Moments later the door opens and Broseph enters the locker room. They all look at him a little confused as to why he is in their locker room.
BROSEPH: Just the two--four bros I wanted to see.
TONY SAVAGE: What do you want Broseph?
BROSEPH: Oh nothing bro. Just wanted to let you know I over heard the Turtle Gang trying to grow in numbers. They have been talking to people backstage and Tap is trying to brainwash people into believing you guys are doing a bad deed bro. But not me bro. I think what you two-- four bros, are doing is commendable bro.
MARK STORM: Thanks for the information. Now get out.
BROSEPH: Do you bros need help with anything bro? I'm here to help is all bro.
Broseph exits the room and shuts the door behind him. Savage and company go back to playing their game and Mark Storm reaches over to grab his title and the cameras cut elsewhere.

QUARTER FINALS ROUND
Jack Owyns -vs- Tapioca Joe
====
DYNAMITE: What a night we’ve had so far! These tournament matches have been great and we aren’t out of the first round. We’re in for a special tournament, Minx.
MINX: It’s crazy how good all these competitors are. I don’t think there is a favorite, but the last first round match is about to start.
THE DOLL: What's crazy, is how the Dogs of War have been taking people out, left and right.
A pair of bright, golden lights flash across existence as Queen's "Princes of the Universe" sounds out across the arena. At the :15 mark, the lights fall on the center of the platform, where Tapicoa Joe stands still and prepared, wearing his trademark black wrestling pants. At the :27 mark, he turns around toward the ring and raises his arms, cueing a display of brilliant, showering golden fireworks shooting wonderfully up from the side of the ramp. He stands and looks around coolly as cheers from the diehard wrestling fans who recognize who he is rain down upon him from all sides, until the :45 mark, when he begins to make his way down to the ring, slapping a couple of hands on the way down the ramp. At the 1:11 mark, Joe removes his jacket and tosses it calmly down onto the floor. He ascends the steps of the ring and enters it.
MINX: Tap won the Immortal Kingdom Crown two weeks ago at Puroresu and he’s looking to win the Global Heritage Championship here, he’d be set up perfectly if he won, Dynamite.
DYNAMITE: That’s what he’s looking forward to. Have one title and then get a shot at the World Title? He could own GWD.
We not asking mothafuckers to care about us
We just letting mothafuckas know we coming
It's real, it's a real mothafuckin' movement
Whether you like it or not
Whether you support it or not
It's a real mothafuckin' movement, man.
The lights fade, as Alpha Omega performed by Machine Gun Kelly erupts on the airwaves. A red fog begins to form in front of the entrance way, as the Villain steps out from the back, and stands centre stage. He looks down; a hoodie masking his head and face. The crowd as one, breaks into a loud boo.
LYOTO SILVA: “And making his way down to the ring from Seattle, Washington, standing in at six feet, four inches tall, and weighing in at two hundred and fifty-four pounds, the VILLAIN, Jack Owyns.”
Jack raises his head, and the hoodie falls back resting on his shoulder. He grins ear to ear, and begins his walk down the aisle that separates the entrance from the ring.
(Bitch!) I am the alpha, I am the omega
(What?) I am the alpha, I am the omega
(Ah!) I am the alpha, I am the omega
(Ay!) I am the alpha, I am the omega
He gives no attention to the fans, that scream into his ear as he walks by. Acting if they aren't even there. He pulls his hoodie off, and tosses it beside the ring as he rolls underneath the bottom rope and enters into the ring.
Jack walks to the opposite corner of where he entered the ring, and leans up against the turnbuckle. His music fades out.
DYNAMITE: This is the new guy. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do, he is definitely going to have his hands full. Tap is no joke.
MINX: I don’t see him winning it, D. Tap won’t get outsmarted by a guy who is new to this company. I mean look at what he did last week, if Tap can do that again tonight Jack will be quick work.
DING! DING! DING!
As soon as the bell rings the two competitors circle the ring, each round of the ring they get closer and closer to one another. Tap is the first to raise his arms up, looking for a tie-up, Jack follows but throws a kick towards Joes gut, Joe being the veteran he is dodges the kick then grabs Jack and puts him in a headlock and then takes him down, keeping a tight hold of the lock while Jacks back is flat on the mat. Junior ref PJ Che slides his hand under Owyns back, checking to see if his shoulders are down. Owyns makes sure his shoulder stays up as he slowly fights out of the hold. Pushes on tap and gets on to one knee, pushing Tap off of him and getting out of the headlock. The two men both get to their feet as they circle one another again. They get closer and go for another tie up. Owyns once again acts like he’s going for a kick to the gut but he stops before his leg extends. After Tap moves to the side, Owyns grabs him and sends a knee to his gut, putting him down onto one knee.
DYNAMITE: Smart move by the youngster, outsmarting Tap. Don’t see that very often.
MINX: Tap will learn from that, it won’t happen again.
THE DOLL: He's kind of senile. He might drink from the same well twice.
DYNAMITE: I’m not so sure about that. We will see.
Owyns grabs the head of Tap into a side headlock and throws him, sending Tap onto his back, Owyns keeping the lock on tight. Tap fights Owyns trying to get out of the hold, Each time he does though, Owyns locks the grip tighter. Taps face starts to turn red as PJ Che asks him if he wants to end the match, each time he quickly says no. Joe keeps fighting and rolls over now lying on his stomach. Joe pushes up with each hand, pushing himself to all fours with Jacks hold still tight around his neck. Tap gets one of his feet firmly on the ground and pushes up getting to a standing position. Immediately after getting to a standing position he drops back, sending Owyns hard into the match causing Jack to release the hold. Tap takes a deep breath before getting up. He walks over towards the now prone Owyns. Tap reaches down and picks up Jack, followed by sending a punch to the head of Jack. He follows that up with a second, and a third, backing him up towards the left side ring ropes. Tap pushes Jack up against the ropes, grabs Jacks left arm and whips him across the ring. He bounces off of the far side ring ropes, on the return Tap bends down and throws Owyns over his shoulder, causing him to slam hard onto mat. Immediately after the slam Joe jumps onto the chest of Owyns hooking his right leg..
DYNAMITE: Look at that elevation!
MINX: An awesome back body drop, looked like it hurt.
DYNAMITE: I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end. Wait, Joe is going for the win here!
...1!...
...TW…
...KICKOUT!...
DYNAMITE: He kicked out. Figured he would.
MINX: A backdrop like that won’t drop anyone. A pin will definitely help to waste Owyns energy.
Tapioca Joe eyes the ref but quickly focuses his attention back onto Jack Owyns. Joe grabs Jack by the head and starts to bring him up to his feet. Getting to one knee Jack sends two elbows to the gut of Joe, causing him to release the hold on him. Jack gets up to his feet as Joe is now facing the opposite way grabbing his gut. Jack wraps his arms around the waist of Joe. He attempts a german suplex but Joe blocks it, Jack tries it again, but once again Joe blocks it followed up by Joe sending elbows to the head of Jack. Joe turns around and grabs Owyns around the waist followed by lifting him up over his head and hitting a hard release german suplex. Owyns hits the mat hard but before Joe can think about a cover Jack rolls out of the ring and ends up on one knee outside of the ring.
MINX: Smart move there.
DYNAMITE: Definitely, saves him from anymore damage. Plus it gives him a rest for at least a couple seconds.
Looking at Jack outside on his knee he Joe smiles as the ref starts his count.
...1!...
Joe walks over towards the ropes and slides out. He grabs Jack as the refs count reaches two and slides him into the ring which Joe then follows. Sliding in he picks up Jack but is caught by a punch to the gut. Jack grabs the arm of Joe and whips him across the ring. On Joes way back he is caught and is thrown over the head of Owyns. Joe gets up and comes back towards Jack and is immediately met with a spinning back punch followed by a spinning back kick. The kick bends Joe over and he is quickly met with a DDT followed by a pin by Jack.
DYNAMITE: Hard DDT! That might be enough!
ONE!...
MINX: Don’t count on it!
TWO!...
DYNAMITE: Tap isn’t moving! He isn’t trying to kick out!
THR….KICKOUT!
DYNAMITE: He got out at the last second!
MINX: That was like 9 and 9 tenths!
Jack looks at the ref surprised and raises his fingers telling the ref that should’ve been a three. PJ stays adamant on the two though. Owyns rolls his eyes and gets to one knee him and Joe both breathing heavily. Jack gets up and pulls Joe up to a standing position. Jack whips Joe across the ring, he bounces across the ropes and rebounds and on the return is met by a spinning backfist, sending Joe to the ground grabbing his nose. Jack walks away from the downed Joe. He waits for him to slowly get up, as Joe gets to one knee Jack runs to Joe and hits his From Kingdom Fuckin Come.
DYNAMITE: That could be it! It could be an upet here!
MINX: This would definitely be the win of the night if he pulls this off!
Instead of immediately going for the pin, Jack goes over to the groggy Joe. He picks up Joe and shoves him between his leg. He tries to hook both arms, gets the left one but as he is trying to get the right one Joe slithers out. Surprised by this Jack turns around and looks at the now escaped Joe and he is met by a boot to the gut. Joe slips behind him and grabs Jack by the waist. Joe lifts Jack and hits him with a german suplex. Jack rolls over and pops up, he walks towards Jack but is met by an Olympic Slam!
DYNAMITE: Joe has taken back control of this match!
MINX: What’s he going to do though, pin or not?
THE DOLL: I'm taking a nap. I'm bored.
Joe looks around in the crowd and walks over to Jack. Instead of going for the pin he lifts Jack up. Joe shoves Jacks head between his legs and lifts him up. Joe hooks his arms and drops hitting the Gotch Driver!
After the Gotch Driver Joe lays on his back, close to a foot away from where Jack is lying: After waiting a few seconds Joe throws his arm over Jack. Going for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE….NO! His hand didn’t come down! We’re still going folks!
DYNAMITE: How’d he do that!?
MINX: Like I said. He has a lot of heart!
Joe looks at Jack not believing he was able to get his shoulder. Joe stands up, not keeping his eye on Jack, he is rolled over into a cradle pin. He grabs the tights!
ONE!
DYNAMITE: Come on! Don’t win this way!
TWO!
MINX: I think he’s going to!
Before the refs hand can come down he sees the hand on the tights and stops the count. Jack gets up and argues with the ref but to no avail. He tries to turn his focus back to Joe but he is too late. As soon as Jack turns around Joe grabs Jacks both legs and pulls him out from under him. Slamming on his back hard Jack becomes disoriented enough for Joe to pull him in the middle of the ring, he sticks his leg through one crosses the right leg over the left, flips him over and gets Jack in the sharpshooter! Jack tries to crawl his way towards the ropes but each time he does Joe pulls him back to the middle of the ring and tightens the grip. PJ asks Jack if he wants to give up and he keeps shaking his up all while Joe is yelling at him to tap. Not tapping, Joe releases his hold. He walks over to Jack, drops down, drops down and gets Jack into the Koji Clutch.
DYNAMITE: Koji Clutch he has to tap. Jack can’t get out of this!
MINX: Oh when are you going to learn. Heart trumps that. He’s going to get out!
Joe keeps tightening his grip on Jack, he raises his hand and thinks about tapping multiple times but he doesn’t he tries to stay in this match. Joe keeps tightening the grip, but Jack is able to go back and forth using that momentum to flip over and get Joe into a pin! Joe has to release the clutch! Joe looks at Jack, almost as if he has decided he’d want to kill him. Instead he gets up slowly as he has used most of his energy by now. Joe pulls Jack up and looks at him face to face. He yells at Jack to stay down but he wasted time. Jack knees Joe into the gut shoves his head between his legs but his arms betweens Joes. Jack lifts Joe up and hits The Villain Connection! Joe grabs his head but him being the veteran he rolls over onto his back. Jack, is lying on his back in the middle of the ring both of them are down and not moving.
THE DOLL: The have been putting up one hell of a fight tonight!
DYNAMITE: There is an opportunity at gold here.
Jack Owyns crawls over to Tapioca Joe and drapes an arm over his chest.
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
THE DOLL: A kick out!
MINX: I don't believe it.
DYNAMITE: This is exciting. Tap just won't quit.
Jack Owyns and Tap fight and claw to climb to their feet, each of them using the ring cables for leverage on opposite sides of the ring. Owyns approaches Tap and whips him into the corner, Tap smashes against the turnbuckles and stumbles out of the corner and towards the center of the ring. Owyns shoves him back into the corner and hits a Villainous Assault on Tap. Tap battle back and blocks one strike and retaliates with a right hand of his own. The crowd gets behind Tap as he builds his come back. The Immortal Kingdom Crown winner hits Owyns with a short arm clothesline before backing himself into the ropes and slingshotting out. Owyns dodges he clothesline and instead connects with a missle dropkick shortly after that sends Tap flying between the ring ropes and to the outside.
THE DOLL: The old timer looks to be need of a life alert.
MINX: Owyns is using a great stat--HEY WAIT!
While Jack Owyns favors his knee and keeps Ace Puerto Rico close to him, Noah Reigner leaps over the guard rail and executes a lung blower on the IKC holder knocking all wind out of him before tossing him back into the ring and ducking down by the apron.
MINX: That's not fair! Ref!! Don't count that.
DYNAMITE: It's too late.
Owyns hurries over to Tap as he slowly rises to his feet and drives him into the canvas via the MISCHIEF MAKER! Owyns hooks the leg,
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: "Your winner by pinfall.....JACK OWYNS!!
Jack Owyns has his hand raised in victory and much to his surprise, Noah Reigner is standing on the ring apron waiting to congratulate him. The two exit the ring leaving Tap to stare them down as they make their way up the aisle.
MINX: Jack Owyns will be joining Tony Savage, Kendrick Kross, Broseph, Samantha Hamilton, and Melody Marshall for day two of the Global Heritage Festival tomorrow.
THE DOLL: I'm going in for physical therapy on my ankle tomorrow, so sadly I won't be there.
MINX: Thank the lord.
DYNAMITE: That'll be a real spectacle to see for sure! Hey, hey, here comes Mr. Roerich!
Mr. Roerich strides to the ring with no music playing, just a microphone in his hands and very seriously demeanor. He steps between the ropes and takes a mic from Lyoto Silva and steps toward the center of the squared circle.
MR. ROERICH: Tonight... has been a good night of wrestling entertainment, but it's also been a complete cluster-- pardon my language, but a complete clusterfuck of an evening backstage. The Dogs of War continue to push limits and overstep their boundaries and that has got to come to an end. As of right now, the rules are changing around here. We can't have competitors throwing other competitors through glass doors and making jokes about it. We cannot have our champion, the face of our promotion running around and doing as he pleases. Mark Storm you claim to be a God, but you're still beneath me you ungrateful son of a bitch!
The fans erupt with excitement and enthusiasm for Mr. Roerich as he starts to grow in confidence.
MR. ROERICH: You've done everything but tarnish that American Justice Championship and while defending it, you have used a strategy that has not been matched and your fifty plus day reign may continue by the end of this festival and it may end, only time can tell, but one thing that is for certain, if you DO happen to defeat Chris Crippler you better be ready to fight twice as hard to keep that championship belt. As of right now, you are fined $35,000, Tony Savage is fines $40,000, and you will be taking a pay cut... AND YOU WILL defend that championship as often as I deem necessary! Hell, if you can beat Chris Crippler you can expect to defend that championship on March 9th at Global Sabotage!
And with so many changes being made right now, I am going to make it known right now, that the American Justice Championship match will be one for the history books. A Marquees of Queensbury Rules Match. Five, five minute rounds, no turnbuckle moves or use of the ring ropes, just full on, grappling, submissions, and pinfalls. There will be three judges, Ace Puerto Rico... Gail McKenna.... and Special Guest Referee Griffin Hawkins will place in a ballad at the end of each round with 10 being the highest score possible to receive. Of course, if someone submits or happens to pick up a pinfall then the judging is obviously not going to be needed, but I do expect to see a winner come out of this, no matter what. With that said, folks have a good night and we are giving out free gift bags at all exits, feel free to take one.
DYNAMITE: That is one hell of a match ladies.
THE DOLL: It most certainly is.
Mr. Roerich drops the microphone as the fans begin heading toward the exits.
MINX: What an epic first night of action in the Global Heritage Festival! Tomorrow we will see the semi-finals round.
FADE TO BLACK.

The Coliseum - Los Angeles, CA.
Feb. 19, 2018
==========
We are set for day two as the fans are filling in some familiar faces some new faces, all of them excited to be here! The Doll, Dynamite Rollins, and Kelsi Minx our always professional broadcast team are at their seats behind their table with the GHF Crest logo printed on the front of it. They have their headsets on and are ready to call tonight's event.
MINX: We welcome you again to the Global Heritage Festvial, dia dos! We're only on day two of the festival and we've already heard exciting news about our Manhattan Beach Invasion event on March 9, 2018. Tapioca Joe will defend his Immortal Kingdom Crown against Jack Owyns after some words on twitter and the interference from Noah Reigner during their match yesterday.
DYNAMITE: The second round will happen tonight and we will know just who will be in the final rounds of the Global Heritage Festival!
THE DOLL: Yesterday, Mr. Roerich put his foot down.
MINX: The Dogs of War has had their foot on the throat of GWD as a whole as of late.
DYNAMITE: They've been doing what others wont and don't. That's all it is. Mark Storm and Tony Savage are only two men with a game plan. The game plan is working.
MINX: Working?! They through a defenseless Stacy Sterling through a glass door and bragged about it.
DYNAMITE: Their not getting the respect they feel they deserve. Perhaps they want better treatment.
THE DOLL: I could agree with that. I was a wrestler in that locker once upon a time.
MINX: They attacked, Sammy Duke and then savagely brutalized him after. Dogs of War are greatly respected around here. We appreciate their work ethic we don't appreciate their Holier than thou attitude.
DYNAMITE: What are you talking about Kelsi?! You've got it all twisted.
THE DOLL: She just stands with Sammy... the walking talking turtle with no shell. I guess that explains why he looks so much like a frog.
MINX: We still want that apology. I don't care what either you two has to say. The Dogs of War are highly respected and so is Mark Storm. These people want to see them wrestle, but we don't want them to beat our stars backstage. We don't want Stacy Sterling going through a glass door. Do you know how many kids were booing them for that?
The Pride by Five Finger Death Punch begins to play and Tony marches out with a purpose, not running, but not stopping for any distractions along the way.

[- GLOBAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL TOURNAMENT -]
SEMI - FINALS ROUND
Samantha Hamilton -vs- Tony Savage
====
DYNAMITE: Uh oh you pissed him off Minx. Now he's heading this way.
MINX: He's got a match you doofus.
LYOTO SILVA: The opening contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a semi-finals match in the Global Heritage Festival Tournament! Making his to the ring, represnting the Dogs of War....TONY SAVAGE!!
As the actual lyrics begin playing, the Titaness saunters down the ramp. A sense of determination and resolve can always be found in her eyes. Despite wearing a more stern and serious expression, she's not one to ignore any fans or supporters. Every now and again, she'll give a wave or slight smirk. More often than not, however, the Titaness will stick to her more serious and stoic look.
LYOTO SILVA: His opponent...SAMANTHA THE TITANESS HAMILTON!!
When she finally gets in front of the ropes, the Titaness steps between the ropes and Tony Savage waists little time and attacks Hamilton immediately. Clobbering her with forearms.
MINX: Looks like we will be starting this one early!
DING! DING! DING!
PJ Ché signals for the match begin but also prevents Savage from stepping out of the ring, allowing Hamilton enter the ring before stepping away and letting the two continue. Savage locks up with Samantha Hamilton and she slams him with a snap suplex almost immediately. Hamilton jumps up and connects with a big standing leg drop before making a cover on Tony Savage,
...1!...
...KICKOUT!...
THE DOLL: She's going to have to do better than that if she wants to keep Tony Savage down.
DYNAMITE: Savage and Hamilton are up again.
Savage hops up and the Titaness is quick to knock him down with a diving clothesline. She makes another cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...BREAK COUNT!...
Savage pulls the Titaness into a sleeper hold out of nowhere and the Titaness fights for air and freedom with Savage clenching onto her.
DYNAMITE: All he's got to do is wrap his legs around her waist and he'll have it sunk it to perfection.
The Titaness uses her strength to force both herself and Savage into a roll. The two roll underneath the bottom and fall off the edge of the ring apron like rocks rolling down a cliff and the two smack the mats on the outside hard, both losing a little bit of wind. PJ Ché does his job and begins the countout.
MINX: Samantha Hamilton is one of my picks to make it to the next round. She came so close to grabbing the Immortal Kingdom Crown.
THE DOLL: She came close but didn't quite make it and tonight she's getting her chance to face Tony Savage basically because of Tony Savage.
DYNAMITE: The Dogs of War have been on a warpath and you've got to wonder, is it a takeover and destroy type of mission? Or is it, do it for shits and giggles type of thing?
MINX: And Sammy Duke is also in the mix. He wants retribution for what happened yesterday. Tony Savage stole this opportunity here.
Samantha Hamilton and Tony Savage both slide back into the ring at the count of nine and the two continue their assualt on one another. Savage knees Hamilton the misection before backing into the ring ropes. He pops up with a bit of momentum and Samantha Hamilton slams him with a whip power slam similar to what we marks see from Randy Orton. Hamilton makes another cover, hooking leg this time around,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
MINX: Oh a near fall from Samantha Hamilton!
DYNAMITE: They both are back on their feet now. OH! The vicious right hook for Tony Savage. He nearly knocked her tooth out!
THE DOLL: Tony Savage pulls her into a grapple now guys. What's he got planned?
Tony Savage fights back and slams Samantha Hamilton via the fisherman suplex! He bridges his body at the end.
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Samantha Hamilton and Tony Savage roll onto their feet and charge at one another. They collide, both going for a clothesline at the same time, nearly knocking each other's heads off! The two lay next to one another on the canvas staring up at the ceiling.
DYNAMITE: Oh these two are really going at it today folks.
MINX: They are going to give it their all for a shot at the gold!
The two show signs of life ad roll onto all fours at around the count of five and finally making it to their feet just as PJ Ché is reaching a count of eight and a half. Tony Savage waists no time hitting Samantha Hamilton with a big spinebuster! He hooks the leg for a pin,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Hamilton throws the shoulder up and the crowd pops behind her. Tony Savage rises and shouts at the fans and they boo him heavily. He ignores it and puts his focus back on his opponent who is now standing in the corner. She shoots out of the corner and hits Savage with a spear that leaves him on the mat clutching his abdomen. Hamilton kicks him in the shoulders, the lower back, and the back of the head while he is down and ends it all by placing Tony Savage into an ankle lock! The crowd pops for her and Savage bites and claws for the ring ropes and having no luck in finding his destination. He eventually rolls through, taking some pressure off his ankle and allowing him a chance to kick Samantha in the face with his other foot. He then tries crawling away but Samantha Hamilton isn't going to give up that easily. She tries to lift Savage up into a gutbuster but Savage instead reverses it and lifts her onto his shoulders and slams her down to the mat via a death valley driver! Tony Savage rolls away with not strength or energy to crawl over to make the cover. Savage just lays there staring at her while clutching his ankle.
MINX: Tony Savage is in pain. That move took everything he had.
DYNAMITE: That ankle lock may have done more damage than we thought.
Both competitors are back to their feet once again. Hamilton gets the better of the two and backs Savage into the corner uses kicks and punches. She grabs him by the head and runs out of the corner, executing a bulldog on Tony Savage before making a cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
THE DOLL: The perfect bulldog executed by Samantha Hamilton there and still no victory. Savage is resiliant.
MINX: The Titaness is putting up a fight today!
Tony Savage throws the shoulder up much to the disapproval of Samantha Hamilton.
DYNAMITE: I could've sworn she had a three count of him that time. But then again, he's a Dog of War. He doesn't quit, he just forces us all to do what Anders?
THE DOLL: Cry Havoc.
MINX: Oh that's cute guys.
Samantha Hamilton clotheslines Savage out of the ring and Tony Savage lands on the his feet, but the pain shoots up his ankle and he falls to the floor in pain. Samantha Hamilton takes advantage of this and steps outside the ring and tosses Savage back in. She steps in after him and goes for another ankle lock but Tony Savage pull her into an inside cradle. PJ drops down to count.
...1!...
Savage grabs hold of the bottom rope.
MINX: NO. Not again! Hey!
...2!...
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
MINX: That no good--
THE DOLL: Easy there Kelsi, it's just a wrestling match.
DYNAMITE: Tony Savage pulled out the win with the bad ankle... Or so we thought. Look at him go!
LYOTO SILVA: Here is your winner and he will be advancing into the Global Heritage Championship match....TONY SAVAGE!!!
The fans boo loudly as Tony Savage hurries out of the ring and sprints up the aisle to the back.
MINX: I thought he had a bad ankle.
DYNAMITE: It's adrenaline.
Sammy "The Lion" Duke can be seen speaking with Tapioca Joe and Kendrick Kross in the catering area. Tap has a large plate in front of him and Kross has a plate with a few pieces of fruit placed in front of him while Sammy Duke is standing up and very animated.
SAMMY DUKE: I'm still waiting on Roerich to get here. What happened yesterday was complete b.s.
TAP: I agree. But, it's too late, and that's not really Roerich's call. He'll find a way to make it right.
KENDRICK KROSS: We've got to do something about these Dogs of War.
SAMMY DUKE: It's not too late, Tap! It's never too late until you stop trying. What the Puppies did last night was wrong, and it's up to us to right that wrong! A great man once said "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"...the War Puppies started this, so it's up to us.
Sammy stood between Tap and Kendrick, resting a hand on each of their shoulders.
SAMMY DUKE: The Fighting Turtle Gang! Honor Guard! It's up to us to finish this! The right way. I'm going to find Roerich, he's going to give us what we want. Retribution. By the end of this Heritage Festival, I WILL get Roerich, Storm, and all the rest of his little pups!
Sammy turns and begins to walk away. He stops for a moment, though.
SAMMY DUKE: Good luck tonight Kendrick, that Heritage Title is as good as yours. Long as we, the Fighting Turtle Gang, sticks together!
STATIC..
...fades into a man standing in front of a simple brick wall. This man was current Union Battleground star, Noah Reigner. Noah wore a smirk on his face as he arrogantly chewed the end of a toothpick. A trait that some have grown a custom to seeing him do. His hair was swept into his eyes, but he was still focused on the camera in front of him. Him knowing that everyone in the GWD was watching this now.
Noah Reigner “Boy, oh boy. Global Wrestling Division looks to be the next hot ticket in the wrestling industry. Making a lot of noise when they put on a show, causing the entire wrestling world to stop and take notice. I was out in Japan when I heard about the GWD throwing down, and I had to stop and watch - that’s the kind of reaction this place is getting. It didn’t take too many phone calls to get connected here, either. Turns out, people know who I am.”
His tone was arrogant, dripping with swagger at the end there. His smirk never fades, and his eyes never left the camera in front of him. He tongued the toothpick to the other side of his mouth before continuing.
Noah Reigner “You gotta’ treat these things like the stock market. You buy in on the ground floor, and you ride it right to the top. I bought in. I signed that contract that was offered to me, and you better believe I’m here to help ..”
He paused, chuckling.
Noah Reigner “To make sure that the GWD succeeds. And I look around at the roster and I notice names like Mark Storm, who’s a world-class athlete. He’s already staked his claim here, becoming the American Justice champion. And that’s good for him. Good to see him standing at the top of the mountain as the best in the company. I’ve seen your work, heard your name and from what I’ve heard and seen; you deserve your time. And while I stand here and sing your praises, I can promise you that I have no designs on your title.. Yet. Do your thing, Mark. Just know that this is a message.”
“A message to the entire company. From Mark Storm at the top, to Samantha Hamilton, to Sammy Duke, Tapioca Joe and even my old friend - Jack Owyns. The message is simple; I’m here. And I’m going to assume that some of you know exactly what I can do when I step into the ring, and if you don’t? Then I suggest you YouTube some stuff. The message is that I’m going to go through each and everyone of you that I have to, and at the end of it all - Noah Reigner will be one of, if not the face of the GWD.”
He brought a hand up to his mouth, removing the toothpick from between his - now - clenched teeth.
Noah Reigner “So - enjoy the night. Enjoy winning tournaments, titles, matches and celebrating because soon I’m going to be stepping into the ring, and the only enjoyment that is going to be had will be by me. When I break your fuckin’ face.”
And with that, in what some would say is homage to Scott Hall, Noah flicked the toothpick directly into the camera lens. As soon as it hit..
..STATIC
Jumping backstage we're interrupted by the loud shouts of the only Lion of pro wrestling, Sammy Duke!
SAMMY DUKE: Roerich!! This is a big event, I know you're here! Come out!
Sammy frantically runs by a stack of boxes, knocking them over as he moves past them. He stops, turns, and moves the boxes aside, shouting again.
SAMMY DUKE: Roerich!
But it was no use. Roerich was nowhere around the backstage area.
SAMMY DUKE: This is bullsh**! You let these thugs muck about in matches to make sure their friends win, and then hand them fines like they give a damn! Money doesn't matter to them, they piss away twenty grand like someone betting on the Knicks!
Out of anger, Sammy kicks a near by stack of crates, toppling them over and causing a loud crash to hit the floor! Just as Sammy looks up, a heavily panting cameraman finally arrives onto the scene to survey the wreckage left in Sammy's wake.
SAMMY DUKE: No, these thugs only understand one kind of Justice...and I'm gonna have to be the one to give it to them.
Sammy looks up, directly at the cameraman.
SAMMY DUKE: Mark Storm. Ethan Roerich. You're both going to hear me out. And I'm not taking NO for an answer! By the end of this Festival one way, or another.

[- GLOBAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL TOURNAMENT -]
SEMI - FINALS ROUND
Kendrick Kross -vs- Jack Owyns
====
MINX: Sammy Duke is on the hunt for Mr. Roerich and Mark Storm tonight.
THE DOLL: Are either of them here tonight?
DYNAMITE: I haven't seen either of them. And Storm wasn't at ringside for Savage's match up either.
MINX: It makes you wonder doesn't it?
The beginning of Snuff starts playing through the loudspeaker with the lights completely off. The lights slowly turn on as smoke begins to rise. At :20 when the lyrics start Kendrick rises from the floor with his head down. He slowly raises his head as the smoke starts to fill the arena. Kendrick slowly starts walking down towards the ring. Kendrick slowly walking, wearing a leather jacket, white tank top, black jeans and red high top sneakers stops in the middle of the ramp head down. As the announcer introduces him.
LYOTO SILVA: From Chelsea, London....weighing in at 215 pounds.....Kendrick Kross!
Kendrick slowly continues walking down the ramp until getting to the end of the ramp where he turns left, goes up the step and climbs into the ring as fire shoots out of the turnbuckles when he gets to the middle.
We not asking mothafuckers to care about us
We just letting mothafuckas know we coming
It's real, it's a real mothafuckin' movement
Whether you like it or not
Whether you support it or not
It's a real mothafuckin' movement, man.
The lights fade, as Alpha Omega performed by Machine Gun Kelly erupts on the airwaves. A red fog begins to form in front of the entrance way, as the Villain steps out from the back, and stands centre stage. He looks down; a hoodie masking his head and face. The crowd as one, breaks into a loud boo.
LYOTO SILVA: And making his way down to the ring from Seattle, Washington, standing in at six feet, four inches tall, and weighing in at two hundred and fifty-four pounds, the VILLAIN, Jack Owyns.
Jack raises his head, and the hoodie falls back resting on his shoulder. He grins ear to ear, and begins his walk down the aisle that separates the entrance from the ring.
(Bitch!) I am the alpha, I am the omega
(What?) I am the alpha, I am the omega
(Ah!) I am the alpha, I am the omega
(Ay!) I am the alpha, I am the omega
He gives no attention to the fans, that scream into his ear as he walks by. Acting if they aren't even there. He pulls his hoodie off, and tosses it beside the ring as he rolls underneath the bottom rope and enters into the ring.
MINX: Jack Owyns.. he's set to face Tap at Global Sabotage, but tonight he's getting a chance at possibly competing for the Global Heritage Championship along wth two others. Can he pull it off against Kross?
Jack walks to the opposite corner of where he entered the ring, and leans up against the turnbuckle. His music fades out.
DYNAMITE: We'll find out soon enough.
The bell rings and both men come together and engage in a standard collar to elbow tie up, with Owyns emerging the victor in this battle of strength as he pushes his opponent back into the ropes. The referee begins to count but Owyns let's up with no hesitation but Kendrick reverses and now has Owyns on the ropes, holding him there with the referee beginning a count. At the count of four Kendrick breaks cleanly, holding his hands up before looking as if he's going to strike him across the face but only gently patting him on the chest. Owyns lunges forwards and with a knee connects to the mid section of Kendrick, who doubles over. Owyns clubs him round the back repeatedly and forces him back into the corner. He then begins a series of thrusts into the mid section as Kendricks grabs onto the ropes but this doesn't concern Owyns. The referee gets to the count of five before Owyns runs towards the ropes, bouncing off of them as Kendrick staggers out of the corner, and he tries to catch him with a big boot but Kendrick catches it and drops it down. Kendrick then strikes Owyns with a backhand to the chest that connects hard and a slapping sound echoes through the arena. Owyns laughs and asks whether he can do any better.
MINX: Jack Owyns is a bit odd.
DYNAMITE: He's a master of mind games and he doesn't mind taking or inflicting a little pain.
Another backhand chop to the chest by Kendrick but Owyns once again doesn't seem all that affected. He pushes him and calls him a pussy before asking yet again whether that's all hes got. Kendrick takes a step back, looking like he might walk away from the situation but at the last second he turns to face Owyns again and hits him with the hardest backhand of them all, that sends Owyns down to the canvas and crawling back into the corner in a hurry, stunned.
THE DOLL: That one got 'em though.
DYNAMITE: Kendrick Kross is not playing games.
Kendrick then runs at the cornered Owyns who manages to dodge his strike attempt and turns him around. A series of shoot kicks connect to the chest of Kendrick who's defenseless in the corner, latching onto the top rope. Owyns then brings him out of the corner and looks for a suplex, Kendrick reverses and slips down behind him, turns him round and an uppercut that sends Owyns back stumbling into the ropes. Owyns comes off of them with a second wind and looks for a lariat, Kendrick ducks and looks for a German suplex but Owyns powers his way down before elbowing his way out of the rear waist lock position.
Kross stumbles backwards, holding onto the side of his head and Owyns then grabs him from behind and delivers a German suplex of his own, which he bridges into a pin.
... 1! ...
... 2! ...
MINX: Owyns nearly got the three. He's still got him grounded now.
Owyns keeps Kendrick on the ground with a ground and pound game that makes you wonder whether this guy belongs in the octagon, (which he probably does!) and Kendrick struggles to reach the ropes but eventually he gets there! Owyns gets off of him after the referee begins a count and he holds his hands up before getting into the face of the official and laughing, boo's beginning to build as the cocky demeanor of Jack Owyns is now on display.
Kendrick gets to his feet and is leaning against the ropes. Owyns grabs him, Irish whip - reversal by Kross, Owyns bounces off of the ropes, ducks under the lariat attempt, bounces off of the opposite ropes - looking for a knee smash to the face, Kross sidesteps, wraps his arms around his neck before driving him down to the canvas with a Dragon suplex! He bridges it into a pin attempt!
... 1! ...
... 2! ...
... NO! ...
A gasp echoes through the arena.
DYANMITE: We know who the fans want to see advance here tonight.
THE DOLL: Regardless, these two are putting up a fight.
Both men get to their feet and begin an exchange of blows, one after the other in quick succession. An elbow followed by an elbow, a forearm followed by a forearm - each strike stiffer than the last, with Kross breaking the pattern with a step up enziguri from nowhere. Owyns staggers, it isn't enough to knock him off his feet. But the roundhouse kick that connects afterwards does the trick! He falls to the canvas but then immediately begins to crawl toward the ropes, panting as he does so. Not quite at the ropes but not far from it, he begins to make a gradual return to his feet and as he does so Kross takes off to the ropes, bouncing off of them and looks for his curb stomp - Owyns pops up in the last second, SUPERMAN PUNCH!
Kross spirals around the ring for a moment, not sure where he is and not sure whether he's going to fall to the canvas or not. Owyn grins arrogantly before running to the ropes and looking for a Muay Thai Knee Strike. Kross sidesteps! Drops down to the canvas, grabs his ankle and locks him in the ankle lock! Owyns reaches for the ring ropes and grabs hold of them immediately, forcing Kross to release the ankle lock.
MINX: You've got to think, if the ring ropes were not a factor would Owyns still be fighting this battle right now?
THE DOLL: Kross was out for blood that time.
Kross allows Owyns to his feet and the two lock up in the center of the ring. Owyns is first break out of the collar and elbow tie up and land a big european uppercut. Kross stumbles away trying to regroup with his back turned to Owyns. Owyns marches forward and a attempts a bulldog but Kross plants his feet firmly and shoves Owyns forward forcing all of Owyns' momentum to launch him forward forcing him to just take a back bump. Owyns tries to rise to his feet and before he knows it...CURB STOMP! The crowd gasps and counts along with the referee as Kross makes the cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: Your winner, by pinfall....KENDRICK KROSS!!
MINX: Kross is going to the campionship match with Tony Savage!
DYNAMITE: Who will join them? Will it be, Broseph or Melody Marshall?
====
[- GLOBAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL TOURNAMENT -]
SEMI - FINALS ROUND
Broseph-vs- Melody Marshall
====
MInx: What a great night of matches for us, D.
Dynamite: Totally, this one is going to be pretty good, Minx!
Inside the arena, the lights dim and the a blue hue takes over the stage / ramp area. Smoke fills the entrance way as emerging through it to the sounds of "Spirit Of A Believer" is Melody Marshall. She is introduced the ring announcer as she slaps the hands of some lucky fans ringside before sliding into the ring. She kneels down and points a finger in the air as streamers fall atop her.
Dynamite: Melody could be a good choice to win this tournament and become the Global Heritage Champion. She’s a solid competitor
Minx: Don’t count out the man that’s coming to the ring though, Dynamite. Broseph is no pushover.
The awesome riff of Rock and Roll Part 2 by Gary Glitter begins to play and as the song picks up out walks Broseph with his best bro Henry by his side. The two men gyrate and bounce to the ring as the crowd boo relentlessly. They get to the ring Broseph mounts a corner turnbuckle making random hand gestures in a lame attempt at being cool.
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rings and both Broseph and Melody run at one another. Broseph goes for a quick clothesline onto Melody but Mel ducks the arm. After Broseph misses the clothesline Melody runs towards him and rams a forearm into the back of Brosephs head knocking him down and she immediately goes for a pin. Jr. Ref Nicole Bender drops down and counts the pin.
Dynamite: This is pretty early for a pin don’t you think?
ONE!...KICKOUT!
Minx: No, I don’t think it was D. Trying to get Broseph to expend some of his stamina.
Melody quickly pops up and picks Broseph up with her. Standing Broseph up, she hits him with two European Uppercuts, she does for a third but Broseph knees Melody in the gut doubling her over. Broseph gets Melody into a headlock and pulls her to her side grabbing her setting her up for a suplex. He attempts to lift her up but is blocked by Melody. He tries it once more, but again, she blocks it. Melody pushes Broseph away and hits a picture perfect dropkick! sending Broseph hard to the mat. Melody quickly pops up from the dropkick as the crowd pops. Melody goes over to Broseph and bends down to pick her up but he sends a poke to her eye. She immediately grabs it as Broseph hops up.
Dynamite: Oh, Come on now!
MInx: Hey he had to do something, right?
Dynamite: Yeah, but he didn’t need to poke her eye out!
Minx: Oh he didn’t D.
Broseph looks at Melody who turns around still grabbing her right eye. Broseph sends a boot to the gut of Melody and sets her up for a suplex. He lifts her up and hits the Suplex. Looking down at Melody, Broseph turns around facing away from her, jumps backwards, flips and hits a standing moonsault! Broseph grabs his stomach but falls back onto Melody, going for a pin hooking the outside leg.
Dynamite: This could be the win right here, Minx. Especially with that nice Moonsault.
ONE!
Minx: I wouldn’t count on it, but let’s go!
TW….KICKOUT!!
Dynamite: NO! He didn’t get her.
Broseph looks up at the Jr. Ref Bender, holding up three fingers saying that should’ve been three. Broseph rolls his eyes then focuses back on Melody who has gotten to one knee. He brings her up to her feet, knees her in the gut and hits her with a DDT! Deciding not to go for a pin, Broseph backs up towards the ropes and runs at Melody, getting near her he jumps and goes for a running Shooting Star Press but Melody gets her knees up sending them directly into his gut!
Dynamite: That just saved her from losing this match, MInx.
Minx: Definitely. Had Broseph hit that Melody would have been in trouble then for sure.
Broseph is on all fours grabbing his gut, while Melody has gotten to her knees. She pushes up and gets to both feet. Smiling she calmly waits, as Broseph starts to get up, Melody runs and hits a Shining Wizard! She rolls away not being able to cover him while Broseph grabs his head.
Dynamite: Melody needs to cover! She covers she’ll win!
Minx: Yeah, but she is too far away.
Melody reaches out and grabs the middle rope, slowly pulling herself up. As she gets up she leans against the ropes, Broseph has slowly gotten up as well at this point. She looks at him and runs towards him. Broseph rolls out of the ring but that doesn’t phase Melody as she dives through the ropes and misses the suicide dive hitting the barrier hard! Broseph gets to one knee, taking deep breaths at this point and gets to his feet. He grabs the limp body of Melody and throws her into the ring. He slides in after her, he goes for a pin as Ref Bender drops down to count.
ONE!
Dynamite: This has to be it, MInx.
TWO!
Minx: I’m thinking so as well, just look. She’s knocked out!
THRE….KICKOUT!!!!
Dynamite: Holy hell! That was close!
Minx: How? I don’t see how?
Broseph looks at Bender surprised. He yells at her that should have been three multiple times, surprised it wasn’t. He looks down at Melody, his face turning read and bends down to pick her up, He gets her to her feet and starts to lift Melody up.
Dynamite: He’s going for the DYELB!
Minx: If he hits this she’s definitely done!
Broseph gets her up but Melody spins off of his arms and grabs Brosephs head dropping down hitting a DDT! Both hitting the mat hard they lay on their backs not moving. Melody starts to move over towards Broseph and throws an arm over his chest as the ref drops down.
ONE!
Dynamite: This could be it after that big DDT!
TWO!
Minx: I don’t see how Broseph kicks out!
THR...KICKOUT!
Dynamite: These two really want to win this match!
Melody takes a deep breath throwing her hands over her head, sondering to herself what she has to do. Melody slowly gets up as Broseph is still laid out on the mat. She slowly picks him up, gets behind him, grabs him and runs towards the turnbuckle. Broseph hits the turnbuckle hard, Melody brings him back and rolls over, then hits a German suplex with a bridge, hitting the battleBORN!
Dynamite: This has to be it!
...ONE!...
Minx: I don’t see how it isn’t!
...TWO!...
...THREE!...
Dynamite: She did it! She won! Wait. The ref is calling it off, He got a shoulder up!
Minx: The match continues!!
Melody looks up at Ref Bender surprised at how he kicked out and throws her hands over her face once more as she falls back to the mat, looking up at the lights in disbelief for a moment before climbing back to her feet. Broseph makes it to his feet and Marshall attempts a running high knee but Broseph moves out of the way at the last second and Melody crashes into the turnbuckle. She steps out with a limp and Broseph executes the Bro-DT! He makes a cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...NO!..KICKOUT!
Bender signals that Marshall got the shoulder up at the last second and holds up two fingers in front of Broseph. Bro looks at Bender and mouths "Come on bro." before rising to his feet and continuing. He pulls Marshall to her feet and she quickly transitions into a back grapple before forcing Broseph to march forward, they hit the turnbuckle and then together they do a back roll with Marshall still holding on and performing battleBORN! She bridges her back and Bender drops down to count,
...1!...
...2!...
...3!...
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: Here is your winner by pinfall...MELODY MARSHALL!!!!
Melody Marshal celebrates her victory in the ring to the approval of the crowd.

DAY 3
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
The Coliseum - Los Angeles, CA.
Feb. 20, 2018
==========
We are set for day three as the fans are filling in some familiar faces some new faces, all of them excited to be here! The Doll, Dynamite Rollins, and Kelsi Minx our always professional broadcast team are at their seats behind their table with the GHF Crest logo printed on the front of it. They have their headsets on and are ready to call tonight's event. The Dogs of war fan section sets up in one spot, there is also a person in a Dog costume.
MINX: Welcome to the third and final day of the Global Heritage Festival! I'm Kelsi Minx alongside The Doll Britney Anders and "Dynamite" David Rollins!
DYNAMITE: Howdy folks.
THE DOLL: Glad to be here once again. We've had three days of non stop action and we've had three days of the Dogs of War and the Fighting Turtle Gang on similar seek and destroy missions!
DYNAMITE: Today we will witness history as the first ever Global Heritage Champion will be crowned and we've got one hell of a blockbuster main event with Griffin Hawkins as the special guest referee in the GWD American Justice Championship match between Mark Storm and Chris Crippler.
MINX: This is the match I've been looking forward to all month. Mark Storm will be ultimately tested tonight as he will go five rounds with Chris Crippler.
THE DOLL: I'm excited to see Melody Marshall take on Tony Savage and Kendrick Kross. It's three of GWD's rising talents that are showcasing themselves as worthy names amongst the GWD ranks. They did very well the last two days and today we will witness one of these three join Tapioca Joe and Mark Storm in the GWD history books.
MINX: Tony Savage and Kendrick will be at each others throats, but my pick to win it all is Melody Marshall. She's got nothing to distract her where as for Savage and Kross it's a little more personal. It's more than just a championship match for them. He's pushing an agenda to humble the Dogs of War and Tony Savage is looking to get the victory anyway he can.
DYNAMITE: I think it's all good for the Global Wrestling Division.
MINX: On March 9th, the Global Wrestling Division will invade Manhattan Beach with an exclusive all outdoors event. Expect a lot of bikini's and drunk people.
DYNAMITE: It's GWD's springbreak event, Global Sabotage where all college kids get their tickets for only $5 if they are over the age of 21. Our sponsors are some of the micro brewery's down in San Diego. Mr. Roerich really hit the nail on the head this time.
THE DOLL: I'll definitely be attending that one.

Tony marches out with a purpose, not running, but not stopping for any distractions along the way
LYOTO SILVA: Weighing in at 237 Pounds…..Tonyyyy Saaavageee.
DYNAMITE: If Storm stays away I think Savage will have a tough time winning this match.
MINX: That’s a big if though. We’ll see.
The beginning of Snuff starts playing through the loudspeaker with the lights completely off. The lights slowly turn on as smoke begins to rise. At :20 when the lyrics start Kendrick rises from the floor with his head down. He slowly raises his head as the smoke starts to fill the arena. Kendrick slowly starts walking down towards the ring. Kendrick slowly walking, wearing a leather jacket, white tank top, black jeans and red high top sneakers stops in the middle of the ramp head down. As the announcer introduces him. "From Chelsea, London....weighing in at 215 pounds.....Kendrick Kross!
Kendrick slowly continues walking down the ramp until getting to the end of the ramp where he turns left, goes up the step and climbs into the ring as fire shoots out of the turnbuckles when he gets to the middle.
Minx: Savage and Kross have been going at it on Twitter lately. What’s going to happen here between them tonight? I wonder if they will forget about Melody.
Dynamite: If they do that they’ll both lose. Melody isn’t someone to mess with.
Entrance Description: Inside the arena, the lights dim and the a blue hue takes over the stage / ramp area. Smoke fills the entrance way as emerging through it to the sounds of "Spirit Of A Believer" is Melody Marshall. Silver: Weighing in at 119 pounds and standing at 5’5 Melodyy Marshhhalll as she slaps the hands of some lucky fans ringside before sliding into the ring. She kneels down and points a finger in the air as streamers fall atop her.
Dynamite: She might be my favorite in this. Simply because of what has been happening between Savage and Kross.
The Doll: You could be right, Dynamite
DING! DING! DING!
The bell rings as the three competitors in the ring stand still looking at one another, waiting for the other to make the first move. Melody and Kross look at eachother and run at Savage, playing the 2 on 1 game and throw punches to his face and gut backing him into the corner. They each grab one arm and whip Savage across the ring. Following Tony hitting the opposite corner Kendrick whips Melody across the ring as she hits Tony hard with a lariat, sending him down into the mat. Melody turning around is immediately met by a dropkick by Kross!
Dynamite: Well that didn’t last long!
The Doll: No room for alliances in this match.
Kross hops up after the dropkick and sees that Savage is still down into the corner. Kross looks at Tony and runs towards the seated Tony flipping and hitting Tony with a Senton! Kross quickly hops up and goes for the pin.
ONE!
Before ref Nicole Bender can make the count of two Melody kicks Kross’ back breaking the count! Kendrick grabs his lower back and lets out a small grunt as he rolls of of Tony. Melody grabs Tony’s head and pulls him up to a standing position sending a boot to Tony’s gut. Melody gets Tony in a front face lock and goes for a suplex, Tony blocks though! Melody goes for another suplex. Another block! Tony instead lifts Melody up and slams her down with a suplex! Tony rolls over onto Melody and hooks her far leg going for a pin!
ONE!
Dynamite: Savage could have it here!
TWO!
The Doll: He better not.
Melody kicks out as Kross slides out of the ring. Kross walks over to the timers table and grabs the black chair that is sitting there and closes it. A smile comes across his face and he slides into the ring. Kross swings the chair at Tony but Tony ducks! Kendrick turns around and is hit with a dropkick to his knees taking them out from under them. Kendrick falls straight down and hits his face onto the chair!
Minx: Ooooooh. That had to hurt!
Melody has slowly gotten up, before Tony can go for the pin on Kendrick Melody grabs Tony and hits him with a reverse DDT! Melody flips over onto Tony and goes for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE...KICKOUT!
Tony got his shoulder up and rolls over onto his front so Melody can’t go for another one. Kendrick has slowly gotten to one knee shaking his head trying to get the cobwebs out. Melody comes running at him but Kendrick side steps Melody and throws her into the ring post her shoulder hitting it hard! Melody rolls out of the ring and hits the floor hard grasping at her shoulder. Meanwhile Tony has gotten to one knee. Kendrick runs at Tony and hits him with a hard kick to the chest! Sending Tony to the mat, Kendrick pulls him into the middle of the ring lifts his legs, steps through and crosses them going for a Sharpshooter! He flips him over and locks it in tight! Each time Tony tries to escape it Kendrick gets it tighter and tighter. Tony is finally able to push himself up enough and flip over sending Kendrick out of the ring! Melody has slowly crawled back into the ring, holding her shoulder. Turning around Tony sees this and runs at her. He picks her up and grabs her bad arm and twists it, causing the shoulder to wrench putting Melody in more pain than before.
Dynamite: Tony is really wrenching on that arm. She normally wouldn’t tap to something like this but she might have to!
Minx: I don’t see that happening!
Kendrick has gotten to one knee and sees Tony wrenching Melody’s arm. Kendrick slides in and runs at Tony hitting him with a spear! Tony immediately lets go of the arm and hits the mat hard. Kendrick rolls over on his back looking up taking a few deep breaths. Melody after being let go by Tony has rolled over to the ropes and is leaning on them on one knee. She takes a few deep breaths and sees the chair on the other side of the ring. She walks over to the chair and picks it up and looks at it. She turns around with the chair held high and walks towards Kendrick and Tony when boom. She is hit with a perfect dropkick from Kendrick! The chair slams into Melody hard as she drops it. Kendrick kick the chair out of the ring and instead of going for the cover walks over towards the turnbuckle and climbs up onto it looking around at the crowd.
Dynamite: Uh oh. High rent district.
Minx: This could turn out really good or really bad.
Kendrick sets up for a shooting star press but Tony who has recovered gets up and runs towards Kendrick. Tony gets up onto the ropes grabs Kendrick and superplexes him off the ropes! They both hit the mat hard, Kendrick getting most of it. Tony the opportunist, slides over onto Melody who is still down from getting hit by the chair. Bender drops down and starts to count. Before she can count though, Sammy’s music hits and he walks out onto the stage and smiles at Tony. He doesn’t proceed down the ramp though as he doesn’t want to get involved in the match. The unable to go for the pin gives Melody enough time to recover and she grabs Tony and goes for the roll-up!
Minx: She’s got him here!
ONE!
Dynamite: With Sammys help!
TWO!
Minx: How is it with Sammys help? He just walked out, it’s not like he interfered!
Before the count of three Kendrick runs over to break it up. He falls back to one knee after though, still clutching his lower back. Tony slowly gets up but is met with a DDT by Kendrick! Kendrick smiles after the DDT thinking he has it won, forgetting about Melody. Melody quickly grabs Kendrick and hits him with a Dragon Suplex! She immediately covers him,
ONE!
Dynamite: Melody is going to be the champion!
TWO!
Minx: What?! No. Kick out Kross!
Thre...KICKOUT!
Dynamite: The match goes on!
Kendrick lays on his back, looking up at the roof while Melody looks at the ref surprised at the kickout. Tony and Melody are both up, Melody focusing on the ref is met with a Spinebuster!

Kendrick looks at Tony after kicking him in the back to break up the pin and waits for him to get up. As Tony does Kendrick sends multiple forearms to the head of him until he is backed into the ropes. Kendrick whips Tony across the ring and hits him with a dropkick! Tony pops back up and he is hit with another! He pops up one more time but before he can be hit with another Tony ducks it, Kendrick hitting the mat hard with the miss. Tony picks up Kendrick with a smirk on his face and hits him with a Fishermans Suplex! He lets go instead of bridging it and proceeds to put Kendrick in a single legged boston crab. Tony pulls tighter and tighter with each pull of the hold. Kendrick slowly gets ready to tap before Melody starts to stir and Kendrick holds on just long enough for Melody to break the hold. Kendrick grabs his lower back after the hold and rolls under the ropes and out outside onto the floor kneeling trying to catch his breath while holding his back. Tony comes at Melody but Melody sends a gut to Tony, causing him to flip over her leg. He slowly gets up to one knee holding his gut and Melody hits him with a Shining Wizard!

Dynamite: Here we go!
TWO!
Minx: She’s going to win it!
THRE...Kickout!
Dynamite: Tony kicked out! How?!
Minx: He wants this win! He wins this Dogs of War control the company basically!
Kendrick slides back in after the kick out and hits Melody with a super kick as she gets up from delivering the Chaos Theory. The kick makes a smack throughout the arena as she falls down hard from it and rolls over onto her stomach. Kendrick waits for Tony to get up and smiles. Tony slowly gets up and Kendrick gets him onto his shoulders, his back laying across Kendricks shoulders. Kendrick jumps up and down a little then twists Tony around hitting him with a side powerbomb, hitting the K-Twist! Kendrick, though.

ONE!
TWO!
THR...KICKOUT!
Dynamite: How the…
The Doll: There’s no way he should have kicked out of that!
Kendrick looks up at the ref surprised. Once more, Tony showed more resilience than anyone had in this tournament. Kendricks face turned beet red as he looked up at Nicole Bender and shook his head. Melody came back into the ring and saw Kendrick picking Tony back up. Melody and Kendrick team up once more, both irish whipping Tony across the ring. On the rebound Melody hits a superkick onto Tony which makes him stumble. This is immediately followed by an Angel Wings from Kendrick. Melody and Kendrick look at eachother. Kendrick motions Melody to go for the pin, as she does he blindsides her with a superkick of his own followed by a kick to the gut and a curb stomp! And immediately pins her.
ONE!
Minx: That damn snake!
TWO!
Dynamite: Surely you didn’t think he was going to allow melody just to pin him, did you?
THRE...KICKOUT!!!!!
Marshal holds her arm up, frozen in time with Kendrick Kross slapping the mat out of frustration. Both competitors rise to their feet and at the last second, Melody Marshall ducks as Savage flies in and lands Cardiac Arrest on Kendrick Kross!

MINX: I am sure you would. You would still be in debt on an apology also.
THE DOLL: I have no clue what you are talking about.
Kendrick Kross approaches Melody Marshal and shakes her hand before leaving the ring.
MINX: A solid showing of sportsmanship from Kendrick Kross. Too bad we can't say that for Tony Savage.
Cameras take us backstage to the catering area where we find Brady Vega face down on a table with a piece of gold lying next to him. Adi Gold appears next to the fallen body and scoops the piece of gold off of the floor.
ADI GOLD: Everyboy around here seems to be getting opportunity accept for me.

MARQUESS OF QUEENSBURY RULES LUMBERJACK MATCH
SPECIAL GUEST REF: GRIFFIN HAWKINS
Chris Crippler -vs- Mark Storm©
====
LYOTO SILVA: The following contest is the MARQUEES OF QUEENSBURY RULES MATCH FOR THE GWD AMERICAN JUSTICE CHAMPIONSHIP!!
The crowd pops.
The lights in the auditorium switch off as “Symphony of Destruction” by Megadeth begins to play over the PA system, as soon as the guitar rift kicks in, the spotlights goes around the audience and the stage lights illuminate as Chris Crippler steps out from behind the curtain.
He casually strolls down the aisle way, ignoring the fans ringside, stepping up the ring steps to the apron and walking along to the middle. He gazes out at the crowd in attendance with a look of disgust before stepping through the ropes, Chris walks over to the opposite side of the ring, adjusting his wrist tape as he presses his back against the turnbuckles. Hawkins checks him for foreign objects as his music fades away. The lumberjacks, Tony Savage, Tapioca Joe, Kendrick Kross, Sammy Duke, and the Dog's of War henchmen, stand around on opposite sides.
DYNAMITE: I do believe the lumberjacks are really here just to keep it an even playing field.
MINX: You would know, you're pro-Dog's of War.
DYNAMITE: I am just an outsider looking in. I like what they stand for, but I am not one of them.
MINX: You don't have to lie Rollins.
DING! DING! DING!
Mark Storm and Chris Crippler circle one another around the ring, getting a feel for one another. The two lock horns in the center of the ring with Crippler challenging Storm to a test of strength. They interlock fingers together and Chris Crippler quickly kicks Storm in the thigh before stepping in and connecting with a european uppercut, leaving the Champion dazed. Chris Crippler uses a swift take down to slam Mark Storm to the canvas and then locks Storm in a modified wristlock that looks pretty painful. Storm battles to freedom and lifts Chris Crippler off the canvas before dropping to one knee performing an atomic drop that leaves an opening for Mark Storm clean Crippler's clock with a strong lariat! Mark Storm makes a cover,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Chris Crippler stumbles away from Storm with his bells still ringing. Storm swings and Crippler ducks out of the way, leaving himself an opening and he delivers the ol' southpaw left jabs before connecting with a stiff right hook. He pulls Storm into his grips and slams him with a belly to belly suplex before locking him into a dragon sleeper. Mark Storm uses his momentum to flip up and over Chris Crippler's shoulder, his body weight work in his favor and the champion is able to drill the challenger with a reverse ddt. Mark Storm hops to his feet and taunts the GWD fanbase and they boo him heavily for it.
THE DOLL: I totally should've been in this match.
MINX: You should've figured out how to defeat Mark---
DYNAMITE: THIS is one hell of a match. Pure wrestling.
Mark Storm waste no time, pulling Crippler to his feet and slamming with a huge knife edge chop. The echoes for the crowd to cringe and react as he backs Chris Crippler down. Crippler retaliates with a chop of his own. Crippler places Mark Storm in a wristlock and controls him once again, slowing down his pace and really bringing punishment to Mark Storm.
MINX: A storied rivalry that has jumped from promotion to promotion between these two competitors and tonight it's all about the grandest prize of them all.
DYNAMITE: That it is Kelsi. And because it's
Chris Crippler goes for a straight jacket clutch but the champion battles out and brings Crippler down to his stomach using a drop toe hold before quickly delivering double knees to the spine of Chris Crippler. Crippler rolls over in pain and Mark Storm takes this moment to lock Chris Crippler into a double wristlock of his own before repeatedly stomping on Chris Crippler's chest.
MINX: That was brutal.
THE DOLL: I like Mark Storm's angry side he wasn't always this mean.
DYNAMITE: He is normally loved everywhere he goes and he has made a following from it. Highly respected... Oh wow!
Out of nowhere Chris Crippler catches Mark Storm slipping and locks him into the Lexington Road Shooter. The GWD fans pop and begin the TAP chants, leaving the Lumerjack's on the outside to look around awestruck. The champion claws for the ropes but can't reach them.
GWD FANS: TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP!.... TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP!... TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP!... TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! ...
DYNAMITE: Oh.. can Mark Storm make it?!
THE DOLL: The timer's winding down on the first round.
GWD FANS: ...3 ...2 ....1!
A buzzer goes off and Griffin Hawkins hurries over to force Chris Crippler to release the hold and to step into his corner. The Champ rises to his feet and does the same.
DYNAMITE: We have reached the end of round one.
MINX: This is exciting. The judge, Griffin Hawkins is making his judgements.
THE DOLL: This will be exciting to see.
=========
ROUND I:
STORM©: 9-9-10
CRIPPLER: 10-9-10
=========
MINX: Here we go.
LYOTO SILVA: The judges have scored the first round, and the winner of the round one, CHRIS CRIPPLER!!!
The lumberjack's applaud Crippler on the outside and the fans cheer as Mark Storm stands in the corner glaring a whole through Griffin Hawkins.
DYNAMITE: Well, there's the answer to your thoughts of an impartial referee in Griffin Hawkins.
MINX: My questions have in deed been answered.
DING! DING! DING!
Mark Storm steps out of the corner and meets Chris Crippler in the center of the ring. SMACK! The slap echoes and the fans gasp in unison as the tensions rise and Chris Crippler shakes off the effects of the slap. Storm pulls Crippler close to him and slams him with an exploder suplex. He then mounts Chris Crippler and delivers multiple punches. Chris Crippler reverses the mount and we find him atop the Champion looking to lock him into one of his various wristlocks but Storm has it scouted and and wiggles his way to freedom. Both men end up on their feet and Chris Crippler knees Storm in the stomach before pulling him into a grapple and executing a gutwrench powerbomb. Crippler locks Storm in a hammerlock before rolling him into his back and pinning him.
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
Storm barely kicks out in time and Griffin Hawkins rises back to his feet, stepping out of the competitor's way. Crippler allows Storm to reach a seated upright position before delivering a vicious kick to the spine and locking Mark Storm in a reverse chinlock.
MINX: Chris Crippler has the best strategy here, beat him down and continually place the champion in submissions to work the clock.
DYNAMITE: Mark Storm will come out victorious.
THE DOLL: Perhaps.
MINX: With the Dogs of War kept at bay thus far, you can only imagine what could happen. We still have three more rounds to complete, potentially.
With the clock winding down to just about three and a half minutes left in the second round, Storm is now on his feet but still in the chinlock. He delivers two elbows before lifting Chris Crippler off the canvas and slamming him via a textbook back body drop. Storm gains his freedom and rolls out of the ring to catch a breather. WHile on all fours gasping for air, Tony Savage and one other Dogs of War member huddle around him and Griffin Hawkins approaches the ring ropes and leans onto them immediately.
GRIFFIN HAWKINS: Hey! Hey! Get back in the ring!
Tony Savage helps Storm to his feet and soon after Tapioca Joe, Sammy Duke, and Kendrick Kross step over to where everyone is standing and Hawkins is forced to step out of the ring and get in the middle of it all. The two teams stand off as Mark Storm climbs to his feet and immediately dropkicks Tapioca Joe, inciting all chaos with one quick gesture. Kendrick Kross and Sammy Duke attack Tony Savage and the Dog of War Henchmen while Storm slides back into the ring where he and Chris Crippler duke it out in the ring with Griffin Hawkins mildly distracted on the outside and the clock winding down to a minute left.
Mark Storm executes a butterfly suplex and then transitions it into an uncomfortable looking armbar! Chris Crippler refuses to tap but we are unsure how much longer he can hold on. Griffin Hawkins finally makes it back into the ring with only a few seconds left and the war is breaking out all over the venue. In the crowd we see Sammy Duke leap from a fans chair and nail Tony Savage with a missle dropkick that sends him into the guard rail. Duke turns and walks into a huge dust cloud formed by an unknown white powder that the henchmen had thrown into Duke's face and Kendrick Kross.
Meanwhile back in the ring, Mark Storm pulls Crippler down to the mats using a japanese armdrag and transitioning into an armbar immediately. Chris Crippler tries hisbest to prevent Storm from locking in the hold, but Storm gets it locked in deep and Crippls can do nothing at this point. He rolls Storm up into a schoolboy out of desperation and Griffin Hawkins makes the count,
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
The champion releases the armbar while kicking out of the pin attempt and both men roll away from one another. With the two competitors in the ring catching a breather, Kendrick Kross flips one of the Dogs of War henchmen over the guard rail causing him to crash onto the mats with a loud thud. Sammy Duke comes sprinting at Kross next, with powder residue on his face. Kross gives Duke a push as Duke leaps over him and Sammy Duke lands a big air frog splash onto the Dogs of War henchmen with the assist going to Kendrick Kross. Moments later Kendrick Kross comes tumbling over the guard rail along with Tony Savage.
THE DOLL: Oh wow! All hell has broken lose!
Back in the ring Mark Storm slips out of Chris Crippler's grasps and slams Crippler with a hip toss before landing a big basement dropkick that echoes. Mark Storm makes a cover,
...1!...
...KICKOUT!...
Chris Crippler kicks out aggressively and Mark Storm is quick to attack once more, this time attempting a shining wizard but it's ducked by Crippler and Storm takes a bump on the canvas. Storm climbs back to his feet and walks into Crippler's clutches and the Crippler performs a textbook pendulum backbreaker before transitioning the champion into a dragon sleeper and locking his legs around his waist.
MINX: This doesn't look good for the champion! He's got the Crippler's Nightmare locked in!
DYNAMITE: Oh no! Noooo! No! This can't be good. God is never defeated! Kick out! Bite him! Do something.
MINX: Chris Crippler knows he's got this. It's now or never! Look at the desperation in his eyes!
Chris Crippler wrenches back and Mark Storm can't take much more. Tony Savage follows Sammy Duke into the ring, cutting him off in the middle of his retreat from one of the Dog's of War henchmen and he hits Duke with a powerful clothesline that turns Sammy Duke inside out. Tapioca Joe steps in and tackles Tony Savage and the two competitors battle in the corner of the ring leaving Griffin Hawkins distracted as Mark Storm starts to fade out until he is no longer fighting the hold. Meanwhile. Hawkins is still trying to get a grip on all the chaos.
MINX: Oh come on! We've got a new champion! Turn around Griffin! Turn around!
DYNAMITE: No.Stay where you are.
Griffin Hawkins finally separates Tap and Savage just as Chris Crippler releases Mark Storm and rises to his feet angered.
DING! DING! DING!
LYOTO SILVA: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of round two!
DYNAMITE: He looks pissed.
Chris Crippler realizes the round has ended and Mark Storm just barely made it and he takes his anger out on Sammy Duke as soon as he rises to his feet he hammers him with stiff forearms and chops, all while Sammy Duke is trying to plead and explain himself. Griffin Hawkins catches wind of all of this and stats shouting and ejecting everybody from ringside!
MINX: Griffin Hawkins has had it!
DYNAMITE: When in doubt, punish them all.
LYOTO SILVA: Ladies and gentlemen, the special guest official, Griffin Hawkins has ejected all parties from ringside, this is no longer a lumberjack match, and it is now being deemed under Marqueesbury Rules, the rules are now going from strict traditional wrestling to a Blackpool Street Fight! Which means anything goes, but by special request from Griffin Hawkins, all members of Dogs of War and the Turtle Gang are barred from ringside!
The crowd erupts at the sound of this!
MINX: So the third round is going to be a Blackpool Street Fight? But what about the winner of the second round?
While security and officials clear out everyone from ringside, Mark Storm catches his wind on the outside leaving Chris Crippler in his own corner to cool off while medical staff checks on Sammy Duke.
LYOTO SILVA: The ballads are in for the second round and the winner of the second round is....CHRIS CRIPPLER!!

DYNAMITE: Always have faith Minx. Always have faith.
Chris Crippler walks around the ring in search of Mark Storm.
MINX: Where has our champion gone?
DYNAMITE: He up and disappeared. Only a God could do that. I told you Kelsi! I told you it was real!
MINX: We are now entering the third round and Chris Crippler is up two to nothing. Did Mark Storm call it quits?
DYNAMITE: Psh whatever! Do you know who you are talking about?
DING! DING! DING!
Chris Crippler steps out of the ring and Mark Storm slides out of the ring with the GWD American Justice Championship. Chris Crippler hits the ground and Mark Storm starts to deliver the boots to him while still holding onto the championship belt.
DYNAMITE: I knew he'd come back.
THE DOLL: That was a cowardly attack.
DYNAMITE: How is it cowardly if it's totally legal? Are you having an issue with the rules?
MINX: Shut up David.
DYNAMITE: That's Dynamite to you, hellbeast.
MINX: What?
DYNAMITE: You just denied God. Mark Storm is God of GWD.
MINX: You've lost it Rollins. Completely lost it.
Mark Storm pulls Chris Crippler to his feet and walks him up the aisle, delivering punches along the way. Chris Crippler fights back and lands a kick in the midsection before throwing the champion into the guard rail. Chris Crippler silences the crowd with a finger over his mouth and waits patiently for them to follow orders before he smacks Mark Storm across the chest with a knife edge chop. Storm hobbles toward the ring in pain. He slides back into the ring at the last second and Chris Crippler follows. Before Crippler can rise to his feet Mark Storm is on him with ruthless aggression. He whips Crippler acrossed the ring to the opposite ring ropes and upon his return he slams his rival via a spinebuster. Mark Storm hooks the leg and Ace Puerto Rico slides into position.
...1!...
...2!...
...KICKOUT!...
DYNAMITE: DAMNIT! Come on ref! That was a slow two.

Chris Crippler gets the shoulder up at the last second leaving everybody a little shocked. Mark Storm falls back into the ring cables and shoots out with with momentum before attempting a running senton. Chris Crippler moves out of the way and times up the perfect dragon screw. Storm's momentum and the velocity of the throw cause Storm to roll to the outside once again. Chris Crippler follows after him. Storm goes for a superkick but Crippler dodges it and Storm ends up hitting the ring post. Storm steps away limping and in a large amount of pain. Chris Crippler sees this and turns into a shake that sees blood. He hits the champion with a cut block to the back of the knee, forcing the champion to fall onto his hands and knees. The challenger guides Mark Storm to his feet, lifts him off the ground and performs a textbook shin breaker. With Mark Storm in pain on the outside, Chris Crippler locks in the LEXINGTON ROAD SHOOTER!! The crowd roars as Mark Storm shouts in pain and Ace Puerto Rico checks on him.
MINX: Oh my there is no where for him to go! Absolutely nowhere!
DYNAMITE: He's going find a way out, he usually does!
MINX: Hey wait a minute! That's a Kendo Stick!
DYNAMITE: We are under the rules of the Blackpool Street Fight. Anything goes.
Storm reaches under the ring unaware of what he has grabbed and just pulls him arm out and starts swinging. CRACK! CRACK! The kendo stick echoes with each thud and Chris Crippler is forced to release the champion and step away to create a little distance. Mark Storm hobbles to his feet, leaning on the ring apron to hold himself up before rolling back into the ring, still wielding the kendo stick. Chris Crippler steps back into the ring and steps on the kendo stick which forces Storm to release it and try to fight Crippler without any fear.
MINX: It's time to prove yourself Mark Storm! It's time to see who you really!
DYNAMITE: This can't be good.
Chris Crippler catches Storm as he tries to crawl away and lifts him from the canvas and slams him back down via the LEXINGTON PLEX! Ace Puerto Rico slides in to count,

Mark Storm kicks out and the crowd pops as Puerto Rico holds on his index and middle finger. The fans don't believe it and neither can Chris Crippler. Chris Crippler rises to his feet and is brought quickly by a drop toe hold from the Champion. As Crippler falls he smashes his throat into the middle ring cable and falls back clutching his neck. This is a sign for Mark Storm to take advantage. Storm looks at the clock and sees there is only forty-five seconds left in the third round and Storm starts to inflect as much damage as possible by delivering leg drop after leg drop after leg drop after leg drop before finally moving to repeated elbow drops.
MINX: What in the hell is this?! He could've just pinned the man!
DYNAMITE: Not necessarily Minx. What if the kick out happened to give him some points. You know judges see things differently.
MINX: This is not needed.
Mark Storm lands another round of leg drops in the final ten seconds before hitting one final standing 450 splash before the buzzer hits and Griffin Hawkins forces him back into his corner. Storm doens't listen and lands one more standing 450 onto Chris Crippler and the fans roar with boos and Griffin Hawkins shoves the Champion back, jamming a finger in his chest as he lays down the Law of Hawkins.

DYNAMITE: Things are getting intense.
LYOTO SILVA: The judges have sent in their ballad and the winner of round three is...MARK STORM!!
MINX: What?!! How?
DYNAMITE: "I guess his shots at the end worked in his favor after all."

=========
MINX: How is that possible?
DYNAMITE: Champions advantage I suppose?
Griffin Hawkins waits patently in the center of the ring with Chris Crippler and Mark Storm waiting patiently in their own corners staring fireballs through one another.
LYOTO SILVA: Ladies and gentlemen the fourth round of the Marquees of Queensbury Rules match will now be conducted under FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE RULES!!!
The fans roar at the sound of this as they know they will be in for a show.
DING! DING! DING!
Griffin Hawkins steps back and allows the two competitors to launch themselves from their corners and meet in the center of the ring. Each man exchanges punches while moving around the ring. Chris Crippler gets the better of the two and clotheslines Mark Storm over the top rope and dumps him to the outside. Hawkins slides out of the ring at the same time that Crippler does and he follows the two men around the ring side area as they fight like gladiators. Mark Storm has that kendo stick he pulled out earlier and swings it at Crippler. Crippler ducks it and instead retatliates with a textbook neck breaker on the outside before picking up the kendo stick and whipping Mark Storm like a problem child.

Crippler tries to clothesline the champion but the Champion ducks down and flips Chris Crippler over the guard rail and into the crowd. The fans circle around as Storm steps over and delivers the STORMSTRIKE!!! Storm falls to the ground in pain.
MINX: He doens't have it in him to make the cover. That stormstrike may have done more damage than good at this point.
DYNAMITE: I agree with you completely. I hope he's alright.
MINX: Chris Crippler has brought the fight to Mark Storm's front door. He's in the lead by two rounds, and right now Storm looks like he can barely finish this match.
Mark Storm notices Chris Crippler is still down on the ground and Storm hurries over to make a cover, draping one arm over Chris Crippler. Griffin Hawkins rushes over to count,

...BREAK COUNT!...
MINX: OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!

Chris Crippler twists and turns and pulls Mark Storm down once again with Mark Storm in a large amount of pain he still fights back by biting Chris Crippler's thigh where flesh is exposed. He's forced to release Mark Storm and Storm crawls away, creating a greater distance from Chris Crippler.
MINX: Is biting illegal?
DYNAMITE: I honestly, have no clue at all.
MINX: Hawkins is allowing it.

MINX: He does. And Griffin Hawkins now ordering our champion to release the hold.

The Champion rises to his feet and stomps on the lower back of Chris Crippler before guiding him to his feet and throwing him into the ring ropes via the irish whip. The Champion doubles over and Chris Crippler immediately hits the CRIPPLER DDT! Chris Crippler begins to lock the champion into the Lexington Road Shooter when all of a sudden someone in a Dog costume leaps over the guard rail holding a sign that says, "Cry Havoc!" The person in the dog suit drops the sign and steps onto the ring apron and Griffin Hawkins steps over to him and begins arguing with the fellow in the dog suit. Chris Crippler tries to lock the champion in the Lexington Road Shooter once again and this time Storm kicks his way to freedom forcing Crippler to stumble backwards and crash into Griffin Hawkins who then crashes through the ropes and knocks the person in the Dog costume off of the ring apron also.
MINX: Who is that?!
DYNAMITE: A fan from the Dogs of War section.
THE DOLL: What's he doing on the ring apron.
DYNAMITE: No, what's he doing with that chair. Griffin doens't see it----OOOOO!!
MINX: This is bull crap.
The person in the Dog suit grabs a chair and smashes it over Griffin Hawkins' head before he can realize what is going on and he knocks him out cold with the chair shot. The dog head comes off when he swings the chair revealing himself to be none other than Broseph. The fans roar with boos.
THE DOLL: BROSEPH?!
MINX: You've got to be kidding me. Was that planned?
DYNAMITE: What in the hell. Hahahaha we should've known it was one of the bro's.
Chris Crippler reaches over the ring ropes and grabs Broseph by the hair and Broseph swings the chair upward without looking and he cracks Chris Crippler over the skull and Crippler falls on his back on the canvas with Mark Storm still down on the canvas lying on his stomach unaware of what is happening. Broseph puts the dog head back on and helps Griffin Hawkins to his feet and slides him back in the ring although Hawkins is still a little bit dazed. With only a minute and thirty seconds left on the clock Broseph grabs his sign and scampers back into the crowd and joins the small but fierce Dogs of War section where they all celebrate.
MINX: Look at them, celebrating as if they've really achieved something. This is totally bullshit. Sammy Duke better get his match up!
Mark Storm shakes Griffin Hawkins until he jolts awake and walks over to a knocked out Chris Crippler with forty-five seconds left on the clock and Mark Storm proceeds to lock Chris Crippler in the Lexington Road Shooter. Chris Crippler is defenseless and motionless and Mark Storm just smiles and wrenches back on the hold with all his strength.
MINX: Oh yeah he's a real good representative of this company. What in the hell?!
DYNAMITE: The champion submitted Chris Crippler with his own move! That's the traits of a God.
MINX: Shut up Rollins.
Griffin Hawkins wakes up fully and can comprehend his surroundings with the clock at thirteen seconds and he sees a knocked out Chris Crippler and he calls for the bell before the timer runs out.
DING! DING! DING!
Mark Storm releases Chris Crippler and snatches the championship out of Griffin Hawkins hands and holds both arms up in victory with the championship dangling while shouting, "I am a God of War!" to the fans of GWD. They boo him and throw their drinks and food toward the ring as Tony Savage and the Dogs of War henchmen make their way to the ring to celebrate with the champion and Chris Crippler is still knocked out in the center of the ring.
LYOTO SILVA: Your winner.. AND STILLLL!!! GWD AMERICAN JUSTICE CHAMPION... MARK STORM!!
With the fans booing and streamers and confetti falling from the ceiling Mark Storm shouts into the camera with Tony Savage nearby we hear the crowd react with excitement and cheers as the Turtle Gang comes sprinting to the ring. The Dogs of War split from ringside and Sammy Duke grabs a microphone.
SAMMY DUKE: YO!! PUPPIES OF WAR!! HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!!
The Dogs of War stop in the center of the aisle with Mark Storm front and center.
SAMMY DUKE: Now, Mark Storm you cost me my opportunity to become Global Heritage Champion and now I am going to cost you you're American Justice championship! These people are ready to riot. I'm ready to riot. We all know you deserve a butt kicking and we all know I'm just the man to give it to you.
The Dogs of War mock Sammy Duke and laugh at him as he stands in the ring with more confidence than we've ever seen before. At that moment we hear the voice of Ethan Roerich before we actually see him.
MR. ROERICH: Hold up one gosh darn minute!! I make the rules around here!
Mr. Roerich appears at the top of the ramp and tons of security begin to appear. They leap the guard rail, they appear at all exits, and they appear on the aisle near Mr. Roerich.
MR. ROERICH: I'm sick of all this bickering back and forth. Sammy you want Mark Storm? You've got Mark Storm.
The crowd erupts and Sammy stands in the ring happy.
MR. ROERICH: In a tornado tag team match! It's going to be the Dogs of War against Sammy Duke and Kendrick Kross at Global Sabotage for the Manhattan Beach Invasion! And Broseph you didn't get away anything as you'll be facing Chris Crippler in a steel cage at Global Sabotage. Now back to you Sammy Duke, you've accused me being impartial to Dogs of War when I infact am not impartial to them I just happen to hate the fact that you believe you are in control of MY company. You made your demands on twitter and now I'm making mine. If you lose this tag team match you and you alone Sammy Duke will be forced to serve a sixty day probation as a slave to the Dogs of War! And to put an end to all this other stupidity that keeps happening, if the Dogs of War cheat to win the match will be forced to restart and if the Dogs of War are disqualified Mark Storm will be forced to vacate his championship belt.
Sammy raises the microphone to his lips but before he can speak he's cut off by Mr. Roerich.
MR. ROERICH: Shut your mouth Duke, no body asked you to speak. You've got spunk kid and I like you, but you've got to learn when to keep your mouth shut. Now go on and get ready. You're all going to be booked at Global Sabotage and that'll be your chance to get all your anger out. Now all of your, get out of my ring! I have security to help escort you.
Mr. Roerich exits to the backstage area to a mixture of cheers and boos from the fans with the Fighting Turtle Gang and the Dogs of War staring one another down and the security detail directing them in opposite directions. The cameras fade out after one last shot of Mark Storm taunting Sammy Duke and holding up the American Justice Championship.
FADE TO BLACK.
