July 18, 2010

We see a new face backstage, a young woman standing outside the locker room.

Vicky Warner - Hello CWA fans, Vicky Warner here and I am here outside of the locker room for Tricia Smith.

The door to the locker room opens and Tricia Smith steps out, clearly not happy when she finds the new interviewer waiting for her.

Tricia Smith - I am not into this right now.

Vicky Warner - I just wanted a word from you on the match your sister has tonight.

Tricia Smith - I would be so happy if for one night I didn't have to talk about Kathy. Excuse me.

Tricia pushes past the new interviewer and heads towards the ring. We hear "Psychosocial" by Slipknot plays as we see images of Moose, Vigilante, Slim Pickens, Jake Masterson, Max Cameron, Freak, Himself, Rated R and Kathy Smith before we head to ringside where Ricky Simms is ready to call tonight's action.

Bishop Spade vs. Tricia Smith

"She Wolf" by Shakira plays as Bishop Spade comes out onto the stage and the crowd gives her a solid pop. She stands on stage and waves to the crowd. She then makes her way down the ramp to ringside and then pulls herself onto the ring apron. She then steps through the ropes into the ring and paces there while her music fades. We then hear "Barracuda" by Fergie playing as Tricia Smith makes her way onto the stage with her head down. She doesn't look up as she makes her way down the ramp and then uses the ropes to pull herself onto the ring apron. She then steps through the ropes into the ring and the referee calls for the bell to start the match. Bishop offers to shake hands with Tricia. Tricia shakes her head and refuses to shake her hand. They then lock up. Tricia shoves Bishop into the corner buckle and then goes for a shoulder block, but Bishop side steps that and Tricia's shoulder hits the corner instead. Tricia then slides out to the floor and paces there.

Ricky Simms - Tricia is clearly not happy with her standing in this company right now. This girl has been through a lot and she's holding on by a thin thread.

Tricia pulls herself onto the apron and re-enters the ring. She then locks up with Bishop and Bishop takes a kick to the gut from Tricia who then gives Bishop a series of forearm smashes to the jaw which sends her back to the ropes. Tricia then gives Bishop and Irish whip, followed by an arm drag to the mat into a wrist lock on Bishop. The referee checks for a submission, but Bishop refuses to submit and then she gives Tricia a series of punches to the head and then gives her a hip toss to the mat. Bishop then applies a Boston Crab on Tricia and the referee is now asking Tricia if she submits.

Ricky Simms - It's back and forth action as each woman tries to make the other give.

Tricia refuses to submit when asked and she reaches out for the ropes. Tricia pulls herself towards the ropes while Bishop struggles to maintain the hold. Tricia lunges and manages to grab the bottom rope to force the break. She then pulls herself out to the floor and she starts berating herself again. She then looks towards the stage and then into the ring at Bishop. She sighs and pulls herself onto the apron before she then steps through the ropes into the ring again. Bishop catches her off guard with a roll into a school boy pin attempt. 1...2...3! Bishop Spade gets the win!

Ricky Simms - A bad run of luck continues for Tricia here tonight.

Bishop helps Tricia up and again offers to shake hands with her. Tricia just turns and drops before rolling herself out to the floor. Bishop stands inside the ring, arms raised as the winner, while not taking her eyes off of Tricia Smith. The fans try to cheer Tricia on, but she ignores them as she heads back up the ramp.

Another new interviewer was seen backstage. She is next to the entrance to the building. She fixes her hair and then smiles for the camera.

Audrey Warner - Audrey Warner here, all set for the arrival of Rated R here tonight.

Ryan Yorke opens the door and is clearly not impressed to find a woman awaiting his arrival.

Rated R - What the hell is this?

Audrey Warner - Ryan, my name is Audrey Warner and I wanted to say it's great to meet you.

Rated R - I care why?

Audrey Warner - Tonight you have a match with Kathy Smith. You have any words for her right now?

Rated R - No, of course I don't. I do my talking inside the ring. I will do what I do every time. I'll take another step towards destroying this company.

Audrey Warner - Well, they do pay your salary.

Rated R - Do I have to go over how much money I have earned in this business?

Audrey Warner - From the CWA...

Rated R - Look, it's my career, my life. I didn't listen to the vapid idiot you're replacing, so I won't be listening to you. If you try to question my motives again, you'll be watching the next show from the hospital.

Rated R moves past Audrey and we then return to the ring.

Lucy Johnson vs. Hoshi Yakamoto

"Surfing with the Alien" by Joe Satriani plays as Hoshi Yakamoto comes out onto the stage. The crowd gives her a strong pop as she then makes her way down the ramp, waving to the fans. Hoshi then rolls herself under the bottom rope into the ring where she quickly gets to her feet. She jumps onto the second rope and poses for the fans once before she jumps back down. Her music fades and then we hear "Your Decision" by Alice In Chains plays and Lucy Johnson comes out with the Rocky Mountain Title raised above her head. She then makes her way down the ramp to ringside and then steps up onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. The referee calls for the bell as Lucy and Hoshi circle one another.

Ricky Simms - Lucy in her first match since winning her title and Hoshi is looking for an upset win here, now one half of the CWA tag team champs. The ladies certainly are dominating the action tonight, shame Doc isn't here to complain about it.

Lucy moves in for a lock up, but Hoshi gives her a knife edge chop instead and then whips her into the corner before giving Lucy a backdrop to the middle of the ring. Hoshi then stands Lucy up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a dropkick to the mat. Hoshi then stands Lucy up, whips her off the ropes and Lucy ducks a clothesline attempt before she then gives Hoshi an inverted neckbreaker to the mat. Lucy then stands Hoshi up, whips her off the ropes and then gives her a knee to the gut followed by a double underhook suplex to the mat. Lucy then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi. Lucy then stands Hoshi up, whips her off the ropes and then both women clothesline one another to the mat. The referee starts counting them both down.

Ricky Simms - It's close action here between these two early on.

On the four count, Hoshi gets to her hands and knees while Lucy then rears back and lands a kip up. Hoshi then trips Lucy back down to the mat where she then gives her a knee to the side of the head. She then sits Lucy up and places her in a sleeperhold. The sleeper doesn't last as Lucy reaches back and gives Hoshi a snap mare to the mat. Lucy then places Hoshi in a sleeper. That doesn't last as Hoshi snags the bottom rope with her foot to force the break. Hoshi and Lucy then both get to their feet and have words with one another. Lucy then gives Hoshi a knife edge chop which is answered by one of the same from Hoshi. Lucy headbutts Hoshi and Hoshi headbutts her back. They then start trading knife edge chops in the middle of the ring with neither woman giving up any ground.

Ricky Simms - The rivalry potential is going through the roof right now between these two.

Lucy ducks a clothesline and gives Hoshi an eye gouge followed by a knee to the gut and then a gutwrench suplex to the mat where she goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi. Lucy then stands Hoshi up, whips her off the ropes and backdrops her to the mat. Lucy then goes to the ropes and makes her way to the top. She poses there and goes for a splash on the downed Hoshi only to take raised knees to the chest from Hoshi. Hoshi then tries for a small package into a pin on Lucy. 1...2... kick out by Lucy Johnson. Hoshi then stands Lucy up, whips her off the ropes and misses with a dropkick as Lucy sidesteps it before giving Hoshi an elbow smash to the chest. Lucy then stands Hoshi up, whips her into the corner and then goes to the corner, kicks Hoshi in the gut and sits her on the top rope. Lucy goes up and tries to set for a superplex, but Lucy shoves her down to the mat instead. Lucy then perches herself on the top rope, and then she manages to hit the splash on Hoshi before hooking the leg for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Hoshi. Lucy then stands Hoshi up and whips her through the ropes and out to the floor.

Ricky Simms - Lucy thought she had Hoshi down there and I thought she did, too.

Lucy drops and rolls herself out to the floor with Hoshi. We then see Tricia Smith coming down the ramp to ringside. Lucy spots her as she stands Hoshi up. Hoshi gives Lucy a jawbreaker and Lucy crumples to the floor. Hoshi then takes notice of Tricia and goes over to tell her to leave. Tricia says it's a free country and refuses to leave ringside. The crowd boos as they argue, Lucy slowly getting to her feet while the referee counts from the ring. Lucy goes over between Hoshi and Tricia and then gives Tricia a superkick to the jaw which sends her down to the floor in a heap. Both Lucy and Hoshi then jump onto the ring apron only to hear the bell sound.

Ricky Simms - The referee has counted both women out here as Tricia was down here for some insane reason. Hasn't she taken enough punishment tonight?

Hoshi and Lucy enter the ring and argue with the referee, but Mark Davis just shrugs and then exits the ring. Lucy and Hoshi shake their heads and turn away from one another before they exit on opposite sides of the ring.

Shengee Shmelky looks nervous backstage as he stands next to Moose.

Shengee Shmelky - I understand there is an update on the situation between you and Vigilante for this week.

Moose - You know, it's bad enough to get ripped off two pay per views in a row. That title was mine and Slim Pickens got it? Okay, fine, I'll deal with that. This week... it was me and Vig.

Shengee Shmelky - And that's been pushed back why?

Moose - The CWA couldn't come up with the money to pay him for his appearance tonight. Hehas a fee, that was agreed on and they don't have that money tonight.

Shengee Shmelky - Sucks.

Moose - What great insight there, Shengee. I never would have thought to say that. Look, I will be champion of the CWA and it will be a victory that is talked about for the ages.

Shengee Shmelky - Maybe you're like Rocky Balboa, when the title chase is the really fantastic part of the movie.

Moose - I'd like to think I am a better boxer than anyone in those movies. They never had their hands up for defense once. When I get my next chance, I won't spoil it. When Vigilante and I meet, it will be the main event. It will bring in the money. It will remind the wrestling world why it's great to see the Flock back, but EOS ran the world back then. EOS did whatever the hell we wanted to and no one could stop us. In two weeks, get ready to go back in time and remember why we were so damnd dominant.

Moose walks off and we return to the ring.

Rated R vs. Kathy Smith

"Gold Dust Woman" by Hole plays as Kathy Smith comes out. She looks down to the ring and sees the Garcia Twins standing inside the ring as the referees and she rolls her eyes. She tells the camera that this is a joke, but she makes her way down the ramp anyway. She has a few words with the referees and reluctantly steps up onto the ring apron before stepping through the ropes into the ring. She paces inside the ring while Martina exits the ring, leaving Selena inside to call the action. We hear "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace and Rated R comes out to loud boos from the crowd. He smirks as he stands on stage and looks around at the crowd and then down at his opponent inside the ring. Rated R then makes his way down the ramp to ringside and then slips under the bottom rope into the ring. He gets to his feet and then the referee inside the ring calls for the bell. Kathy backs herself into a corner and takes a few deep breaths.

Ricky Simms - The continuing saga between Rated R and the Skanes clan writes another chapter here tonight. I really wish someone would deal with this guy.

Kathy steps out of the corner and Rated R takes a step towards her. Kathy does a shoulder roll to get behind Ryan and then shoves him shoulder first into the corner before she then gives him an inverted DDT to the mat. She then chokes the downed Rated R. Selena Garcia tells Kathy to release the choke and Kathy just smiles at her, shaking her head. Sensing she won't let go, Rated R kicks Kathy off of him and sends her right through the ropes and out to the floor. He then rolls himself out of the ring to the floor after her. He stands her up and takes an upper cut from Kathy who then slams his forehead into the guard railing. He answers with a knee lift to the gut on Kathy and then he clotheslines her down to the floor. Rated R then stands on her chest for a few moments while Martina Garcia warns him not to do that. He tells her that she is not in the position to enforce anything right now and she actually backs off.

Ricky Simms - Did Ryan ask for referees he could tell what to do? He appears to have got them in these two.

Rated R then stands Kathy up and rams her shoulder first into the steel steps at ringside. He follows that up by rolling her into the ring. Rated R then rolls himself into the ring and gets to his feet before taunting the crowd. He puts a hand to his ear and says he can't hear them. Their boos get louder. He then turns back to Kathy and grabs her by the hair and pulls her to her feet. Kathy slaps rated R across the face, gives him a series of forearm smashes to the jaw and backs him into the corner buckle. She then gives Rated R a monkey flip to the middle of the ring and then she goes to the ropes where she performs a springboard somersault leg drop onto Rated R's throat and then she goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R and she slaps the mat in frustration.

Ricky Simms - I thought that was a slow count there. I wonder if Ryan is paying for the referees here. He has been known to pay for his brand of justice before, so that would not surprise me.

Kathy stands Rated R up, whips him into the corner buckle and then goes for a bulldog from there, but he pushes her away and then turns her around and gives her a knee to the side of the head. Rated R then picks Kathy up over his shoulder and then gives her a power slam to the mat. He stands her up, rakes her eyes along the top rope and then punches her in the throat. He tells her this is all her fault. He then looks at the camera while grabbing her by the hair. He tells Shannon this is never going to be over, never going to be enough. Rated R then gives Kathy a clothesline to the mat and then boot chokes her, using the top rope for leverage. We then see Freak, Himself coming out onto the stage with the trusty chair under his arm.

Ricky Simms - What the hell is going on here? No one is allowed to interfere here. Everyone knows that.

Martina Garcia spots Freak from ringside and she makes her way up the ramp. Inside the ring, Rated R takes notice of Freak and he shouts out that is interference and he wins. Selena shakes her head and refuses to call for the bell even when told to by Ryan. Ryan then puts the boots to Kathy, stands her up and whips her off the ropes before giving her a backdrop to the mat and then he gives her a knee drop to the side of the head where he then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Kathy Smith. Freak refuses to leave when told by Martina Garcia. While they argue, we then see a man come out in a mask and he makes his way down the ramp to ringside.

Ricky Simms - Is this that Sporadic person? Is that Razorblade? Who is that? Razor was supposed to come out here and cut a promo tonight about what happened at Sunstroke. Could that be him under the mask after all?

The masked man stops at ringside and Rated R spots him. He heads over to have words with him, but spots someone in the crowd and calls out and points to a fan. The camera turns in the direction he is pointing and there is another man wearing the Sporadic mask. Rated R turns around and points in the opposite direction and, sure enough, there's another man wearing the Sporadic mask. The crowd cheers as Rated R gets more and more agitated. He turns to referee Selena Garcia and shouts at her to rid his ringside area of all of this rabble.

Ricky Simms - No one expected this tonight, least of all Rated R.

As the referee tries to get rid of the Sporadic masked men, a mask is slid into the ring and Kathy herself puts it on, even as she struggles to get to her feet. Rated R grabs Kathy by the hair, turns her around and is stunned to see that blank white mask staring back at him. He takes a step back and Kathy gives him a kick to the chest before a springboard bulldog to the mat. Kathy goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Rated R. The lights then start to flicker as a strobe effect takes over. Masks start to rain down from the ceiling.

Ricky Simms - Okay, someone in production is in on this. This is way over the line. What the hell is going on?

Rated R is pulled to his feet as masks fall to the mat. Rated R gives Kathy a clothesline to the mat and then looks around at the masks. On stage, Freak, Himself is simply arguing with Martina and doesn't even appear to be interested in what is happening here. Freak even appears to be arguing with the chair as well. Rated R backs into a corner and picks up one of the masks to look it over. A figure climbs onto the ring apron behind him, wearing the Sporadic mask. Rated R turns and sees this and backs off, right into an inverted DDT from Kathy Smith who then goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Kathy Smith gets the upset win over Rated R!

Ricky Simms - Okay, this is the weirdest thing I have ever seen in the CWA. I mean, seriously, this is baffling.

Kathy rolls herself out of the ring and the man on the apron who had distracted Rated R jumps down to the floor and heads over to attend to Kathy. It appears it might be Shannon Skanes himself, but he doesn't remove the mask to prove it. Instead, he places her arm over his shoulder and heads up the ramp. Freak is still arguing on the stage while Kathy and the masked man head to the back. A stunned Rated R lays on his back inside the ring and looks stunned as he realizes what has happened here tonight.

Ricky Simms - This is the first time in this battle where I have seen Rated R gets fooled. If anything, this will make him even more dangerous in this continuing battle.

Shengee Shmelky is seen approaching new interviewers Vicky and Audrey Warner. He is strutting the best he can, though he looks quite dorky.

Shengee Shmelky - Yo yo yo ladies, I never heard where you was from.

Audrey Warner - You're going to be all gangster for us? That's cute.

Vicky Warner - Max lost his position as GM and Shannon has been under a lot of pressure from investors to tighten things up, so we're here.

Shengee Shmelky - For who yo.

Audrey Warner - We are the investors.

Shengee Shmelky - I be saying what?

Vicky Warner - The CWA board consists of Shannon Skanes, Hector Braun, Tony Parizi, Kathy Smith and us.

Audrey Warner - Daddy left us a good inheritance and we thought the CWA would be a good investment, so we're going to be here making sure it goes well for us.

Shengee Shmelky - How's that?

Vicky Warner - It started tonight. We cut the matches down. Max Cameron against Frank Merritt? That needs more of a build up, so we scrapped it for tonight. Vigilante against Moose, have you heard how much Vig wants for a night's work? Gag me. Freak and the Chair against Scavenger? Look, Freak is off of it and we're delaying that until we see written proof he's okay to fight.

Audrey Warner - I think it's silly t have a chair in a match, Scavenger's old chair or not.

Shengee Shmelky - So, yo, you be da GMs or somethin'?

Vicky Warner - Just concerned investors with a say in what happens and how money is spent. Next up, PrimeTime. I already met with him tonight and he assured me we'll get our money's worth out of him.

Audrey Warner - We had better. If we don't see a result we like, he won't like his match in two weeks at all.

Shengee Shmelky - Either of you two need a homeboy?

Vicky Warner - That's so cute, but ew, not going to happen Shengee.

They both pat him on the head and head off while we return to the ring.

Slim Pickens vs. Jake Masterson

"Let It Rock" by Kevin Rudolph plays as "PrimeTime" Jake Masterson makes his way onto the stage, the crowd giving him a solid ovation as he holds his Vivid-Gore Title high over his head. He starts to make his way down the ramp when he is attacked from behind by Slim Pickens who whips him across the back with the McDonalds World Title. He then picks Jake up and slams him onto the ramp before he then stands Jake up and sends him off the ramp and down to the floor. Slim then jumps down from the ramp, grabs PrimeTime by the hair and runs him head first into the guard railing. Slim then pulls Jake to ringside and then rolls him into the ring before slipping into the ring himself, allowing the referee to finally call for the bell to officially start the match.

Ricky Simms - Well, Slim is showing his usual tactics here. Bad start for Masterson.

Slim places Jake's throat over the bottom rope and chokes him with it. He releases the choke before the referee gets to a five count and then he stands PrimeTime up, whips him off the ropes and clotheslines him down to the mat. He then gives him a knee drop to the chest and then goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Masterson. Slim then stands Masterson up, whips him off the ropes and then misses a clothesline attempt as Masterson ducks it and then he unload on Slim with a series of rights and lefts. He then whips Slim into the corner buckle and then gives him a series of shoulder blocks. Masterson then gives Slim a vertical suplex to the middle of the ring. He goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Slim Pickens.

Ricky Simms - Both men with early pinfall attempts in this one. These are two of the hottest stars in the CWA, so this match will be an interesting one from a momentum point of view.

Masterson stands Slim up, whips him off the ropes and then backdrops him to the mat. He then puts the boots to Slim while some in the crowd cheer, others opting to cheer for Slim instead. Jake then stands Slim up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a monkey flip to the middle of the ring. Jake then goes to the ropes ad makes his way to the second rope. Slim gets to his feet and Jake goes for a double axe handle smash to the chest. Slim instead catches Jake with a right hook to the jaw and then gives him a belly to belly overhead suplex to the mat. Slim then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by PrimeTime.

Ricky Simms - Masterson is showing a lot tonight, same as Slim. They're both champs and Jake is being paid like one, a big investment in that guy by the CWA.

Slim stands PrimeTime up, whips him off the ropes and then both men clothesline each other to the mat. The referee starts counting both men down. On the three count, both men roll to their hands and knees. They start trading punches to the head while on the knees. Slim then gives Jake an eye poke and then gets to his feet. He then headlocks Jake and goes for a bulldog. Jake instead gives Slim an atomic drop and then gives him an inverted neckbreaker before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Slim Pickens. Jake then stands Slim up, whips him through the ropes and out to the floor. He then slides out of the ring himself.

Ricky Simms - The action has been taken out to the area directly in front of me now. The're proving why they're the champions of this company.

Jake stands Slim up and takes an eye gouge from Slim who then rams his face into the guard railing. Slim then pulls himself onto the ring apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. Jake shakes off the effects of Slim's attack and then he actually heads to the ramp. He looks back to the ring and then makes his way around to the ring announcer and takes a microphone from Jen Hawkins.

Jake Masterson - Well, I earned my pay for tonight. Since Slim doesn't understand the need for me to protect my precious face here, I feel it is in my best interest to leave this match now. I am the face of this company, the man who brings all the ladies in. Maybe if I were getting a better cut of the money around here, I would stick around. Night all.

Jake throws the microphone back to Jen as the referee calls for the bell and Masterson has officially been counted out. As Jake makes his way up the ramp, we hear "Deep" by Nine Inch Nails and Shannon Skanes comes out onto the stage. He doesn't look happy.

Shannon Skanes - Okay, I don't know what your deal is, Jake. I pay you more money than anyone else in this company right now. You don't get to just walk out of a match because you think your face might get damaged. Tell you what, next week you get to have a tag match. Next week it's you teaming with Slim Pickens there against... Rated R and... oh hell why not me? If anyone doesn't work with their partner and works to get their team disqualified, they get suspended.

Shannon heads out while Slim and Jake look upset with the announcement. We then slowly fade to the CWA logo as Assault comes to an end.
