Charm City Underground
Baltimore, Maryland
Episode #24 - Season 2

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)



(The camera pans around the streets of Baltimore and we focus on the small building that is packed with people. MW Jergs is in the ring.)
MWJ: Good evening wrestling fans and welcome to Season Two of Charm City Underground! We are ready to bring you the best in professional wrestling and as always a few surprises are always in store. Right now --



(Adam Cole and The Young Bucks are smiling and really enjoying themselves as they make their way to the ring.)
AC: Don't worry boss we'll take it from here. Well, I must say that its gotten a lot quieter around here after we sent that old dinosaur Jim Cornette back under the hole he crawled out of.
MJ/NJ: Good riddance!
AC: Absolutely and now that the trash has been taken out its time to focus on what the Elite does best and that's collect gold. We are ready to remind everyone that we are the dominant force in this company.



(Kenny Omega walks down the aisle. The Bucks are incredibly happy while Cole is a bit shocked and not quite as amused.)
KO: Hello my good friends and to you in the audience you are in for a treat because the Cleaner is here! Now the Elite is at full strength and that can only spell doom for the rest of the so called competition.

(Omega gets hugs from the Bucks and a bewildered handshake from Cole.)
AC: Kenny I had no idea that you were coming. We would have sent someone to get you from the airport.
KO: Oh don't be so modest there was a limo there to greet me and transport me straight here. I know where that came from. So gentlemen let's be off we have a lot to discuss.

Com'on Adam.

(Cole slowly steps out of the ring and joins the rest of The Elite down the aisle.)

1) The Inner City Machine Guns (Ricochet & Rich Swann) & "Villain" Marty Scurll defeated War Machine (Hanson & Raymond Rowe) & Zack Sabre Jr. when Ricochet pinned Rowe with a DOUBLE ROTATION MOONSAULT @ 11:06.
-Season Two started with an exciting six-man match. Rowe was isolated during the contest and was subjected to double and triple teams. The hot tag brought all six men into the battle. The ref had his back turned and missed Scurll jabbing Rowe with his trademark umbrella and that set up the finish.

Backstage: (Jeremy Borash is with CCU Heavyweight champion - Moose and Stokley Hathaway)
JB: Gentlemen congratulations on a successful title defense and starting season two as the Charm City champion.
SH: I have no time for pleasantries. I must say that I am not happy at all with management. This man next to me is the champion. He is the alpha. Yet he gets relegated to second class status. We should be opening the show. We should be the focus. Adam Cole is delusional if he thinks he has even the slightest chance of regaining this title. Moose will hold this title until he chooses to relinquish it. But this treatment is unbecoming of a world class star and we will not be a part of it.

2) Heidi Lovelace pinned Leva Bates with the HEIDI-CAN-RANA @ 4:15.
-MW Jergs stood in the ring to announce the dawn of the women's division in Charm City. There will the best competitors from all over the world in the coming weeks. Lovelace dominated much of the match after a strong start by Bates. She hit the finish two consecutive times for the fall. As Lovelace had her hand raised Veda Scott hit the scene and attacked Lovelace from behind and hit a DDT and left her lying in the ring and left with her hands raised.

Backstage: (Kenny Omega is with the Young Bucks and Adam Cole in a private room in the back.)
KO: It's good to see all of you here my brothers. I'm so pleased that we are all here together. I'm ready to move forward with all of you. But Adam I can't help but notice that you seem a little uptight.
AC: Um nah I'm fine.
KO: Come now, lying doesn't suit you. What is the trouble?
AC: Honestly I want to regain my Heavyweight title and I want the Bucks to regain the tag team title. But with you here what would you be after?
KO: (smiling) Please I'm only here to help us all. The Bullet Club is a global enterprise and this is your little slice of a much larger pie. You have nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.

In Ring: (Sami Callihan has a mic.)
SC:So I was able to run that fat slob Masada from this ring and with it I took from him the title that he held. So now you must refer to me not only as the "New Horror" but the "King of the Streets" as well. Right now I have an open contract so I demand that someone walk down out from the back and get in here and get an ass whipping.



3) "Knockout Artist" Chris Hero pinned "King of the Streets" Sami Callihan with DEATHBLOW @ 14:07.
-An early match of the season candidate. Both men were at 8 tokens a piece. The finish saw Hero reverse a turnbuckle whip and land a stiff Rolling Elbow to the neck for the victory.

Backstage: (Jeremy Borash is with Dalton Castle and the Boys)
JB: Well I'm here backstage with Dalton Castle and you had a bit of identity crisis last season can you assure the fans that you are one hundred percent?
DC: JB I am a man who is very comfortable with who he is. Now Joey Ryan, that sleaze merchant he found out what happens when you tangle with the party peacock and next week he and I will settle it right in the middle of that ring. I'm moving forward and just understand that this season Dalton wants it all!

4) Adam Cole (w/The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega) beat "Aerial Assassin" Will Ospreay @ 12:09 with FLORIDA KEY.
-Cole appeared a bit more at ease with the rest of the Elite at ringside and had only minor trouble with the high flying Brit.

[Pariah]

Electrifying introduction for the Cleaner... Even though Adam Cole (bay-bay) did not seem all that happy to see him... Looking forward to some possible friction in the future between two men that obviously allow their egos to lead the way...

Hero and Callihan tore down the house... It would be great to see something bigger build up between these two fierce competitors...

Fun stuff!

Baltimore, Maryland
Episode #25 - Season 2

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)

1) "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega pinned Colt Cabana with V-TRIGGER @ 4:25.
- A dominant performance from Omega who controlled much of the offense and was too quick for the vet Cabana. After a buckle whip he hit a stiff running knee that knocked Colt cold. The three was academic.

Backstage: (Joey Ryan is stretching in the locker room when Veda Scott walks past him and seems to ignore him.)
JR: Ah, there you are. Where have you been?

Hey! Listen. I'm talking here.

VS: (Deep sigh) I guess you can't take a hint. Look you embarrassed yourself and more importantly me at "ONE NIGHT IN THE CITY" when you came up short against Moose and I just don't have time for it.
JR: What?! You know it was because of that sick freak Dalton Castle. I'm ready to take care of him once and for all and I need your help.
VS: Well, I don't need you. In fact I'm finished relying on other people. I've got a match tonight. Bye Bye.

2) Veda Scott defeated Heidi Lovelace with the MIND TRIP @ 5:17.
- Lovelace wanted revenge for the attack made by Scott last week and she jumped her at the start. Scott was able to regain the momentum and punished her opponent with high impact moves. She hit the snapmare driver and hooked the leg for the win.

Backstage: (Jeremy Borash is with Chris Hero)
JB: It was a huge debut on the Undeground last week for you Chris Hero. What are your plans here in Charm City?
CH: Well JB, wrestling fans know who I am and what I'm all about. I travel the world to face the best competition and then I ...KNOCK..THEM..OUT! Now I do love to test myself and I love the money and the fame and glory that comes with being the best but I also don't like certain people. I'm talking about you Adam Cole. We've crossed paths before and I can't say that I'm all that impressed. I heard you whining about getting "your" title back, that might be hard for you if I get to it first.

3) The Young Bucks (Nick & Matt Jackson) defeated War Machine (Raymond Rowe & Hanson) when Matt pinned Hanson with MELTZER DRIVER @ 10:45.
- A match that could have potential title match ramifications was on hand as the agility of the Bucks face doff against the raw power of Rowe and Hanson. Late in the bout all four men were in the ring and Rich Swann and Ricochet made their way to the ring. Swann jawed with Rowe and kept the official's attention while Ricochet slammed a chair into Hanson's back. This set up the Bucks nicely to gain the win and a possible title match.

Backstage: (Jeremy Borash is with Zack Sabre Jr, and Will Ospreay)
JB: Gentlemen you are both extremely talented individuals but you've had your struggles here in Charm City. I understand that you both asked for this time so what's on your minds?
ZSjr: Right. It seems that some people feel that I'm not mean or nasty enough to get what I want. While others feel that I can just be some kind of stepping stone to greater things. Cedric Alexander, you're a great wrestler but I'me an even better one. Next week you and me.
WO: Marty Scurll. Nothing was settled at "ONE NIGHT IN THE CITY" between us. Same deal. You and me in that ring next week. Oh and in case you were wondering Zack and I have realized that there is strength in numbers and from now on we will have each others backs. (Both shake hands)

4) Dalton Castle (w/ The Boys) defeated "Magnum" Joey Ryan with DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX @ 3:45.
-Castle was focused from the start while Ryan seemed a bit lost without Veda Scott. Castle used three consecutive suplexes to gain the victory.

-TRIPLE THREAT #1 CONTENDERS MATCH-
5) Cedric Alexander defeated Adam Cole & "The Villain" Marty Scurll when Alexander pinned Scurll with a SUPERKICK @ 20:03.
- Each wrestler had 10 tokens to his name! This was an excellent intense match-up between top contenders. During the match Kenny Omega came out to cheer on Cole and swing the tide in his favor with some outside interference. The finish saw Omega's help backfire as the two crashed into each other and Cole was wiped out. Alexander was then able to hit a superkick to Scurll's chin and it was lights out.

Episode #26 - Season 2

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)

"Knockout Artist" Chris Hero is in the ring. "So I figured that I'd get the show started off right tonight by calling out Adam Cole to the ring for a match - right now."

The fans were abuzz but it wasn't Cole who answered the call but rather Sami Callihan. "You think I'm finished with you? The King is no one's stepping stone." Hero shrugged and the battle was on.

1) "Knockout Artist" Chris Hero beat "King of the Streets" Sami Callihan with DEATHBLOW @10:35.
-This match was just a shade under the instant classic of their first encounter. (Each wrestler had 7 tokens) But once again it was Hero pulling out the win with is stike heavy offense. After the match he took to the mic and called out Cole again and this time he got him.

AC: You seem to really want me badly. Next week it's just you and me. Be careful what you wish for, big guy.

Backstage: (Jeremy Borash is with CCU Heavyweight champion Moose with his manager Stokley Hathaway)
JB: Tonight is your first title defense of season two as Cedric Alexander faces you tonight. He seems to have a lot to prove especially to the owner of Charm City Underground. Your thoughts about tonight's opponent?"
SH: JB, look at the man standing next to me. Six feet Five inches tall, three hundred pounds. Now Alexander has some cool flippy moves and a chip on his shoulder but that will only take you so far against Moose. We expect pain and for Cedric to be on the receiving end of it.

(With that a large figure with a mask on rushed from behind and hit Moose with a metal object knocking him to the ground. Hathaway was stunned and was hit with a clothesline. The unknown assailant picked up the CCU Heavyweight Title and walked off with it. Jeremy Borash was freaking out as he called for help from the back.)

2) Christina Von Eerie pinned Madison Eagles with 138 @ 6:15.
- The punk princess was able to stay away from the power of Eagles most of the match. A reverse whip off the ropes and she was able to use the facebuster to great effect and gain the win.

Backstage: (Jeremy Borash is with Cedric Alexander)
JB: I'm sure you've heard about the robbery that took place earlier this evening. As of right now no one knows where the title belt is, that very belt that you will be fighting for in our main event tonight.
CA: Either way I have a well deserved match-up and when I win the championship tonight I expect the owner of this second rate organization to hand the belt to me personally. What kind of security do they have in this place where some bum off the street can jack up the champion and take off with a championship title? Unbelievable.
Moose, I don't want to hear any excuses, a champion must be ready at all times and you best be ready for me.

3) Inner City Machines Guns (Ricochet & Rich Swann) beat War Machine (Raymond Rowe & Hanson) when Swann pinned Hanson with a STANDING 450 SPLASH @ 9:45.
- All four men were in the ring. Ricochet tossed medicated powder in Hanson's face while ref was distracted by Larry Dallas who was flanked by two gorgeous women. Dallas claimed he wanted a closer look at the competition and it cost War Machine the match. Dallas and his ladies left the scene as Rowe checked on his partner.

Backstage: (Jeremy Borash is with Larry Dallas and his ladies)
JB: Hey, what are you doing here? Don't you realize that you just cost War Machine a match?
LD: What? I was just a spectator. I was just checking out the competition. I can't help it if those two idiots can't protect themselves.
JB: You are here to witness the competition?
LD: Of course, The Premier Athlete Brand has arrived in Charm City JB and next week I will unveil to everyone just who are my first clients. But right now I have other matters to attend to. Onward ladies.

-Charm City Underground Tag Team Titles Match-
4) The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) beat Forever Hooligans (Rocky Romero & Alex Koslov) (c) by DISQUALIFICATION @ 13:45.
-A win for the Bucks but not a second title reign. The match went outside and Romero was caught using a chair. The ref rang for the bell to save the titles for the Hooligans.

-Charm City Heavyweight Title Match-
5) Cedric Alexander beat Moose (c) (w/Stokley Hathaway) with LUMBAR CHECK @ 11:03.
-Owner MW Jergs was out to address the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen tonight's main event will proceed as planned. We are still searching the building to find the perpetrator and he will be found." The match began and Moose used his superior power to dominate. Alexander dodged a leap into the buckle and used kicks and a superkick to put the champ on the defensive. Moose soon rallied and hit two Pounce tackles to hurt the challenger. Then suddenly the masked figure started to walk down to the ring with the belt over his shoulder and Moose stopped and stared. This gave Alexander a chance to hit a low blow and then a Kick II Kill. The Lumbar Check finished things off and Alexander was the new champion. The masked man then dropped the title into the lap of a stunned MW Jergs. He went into the ring, exchanged a fist bump with the new champion and removed his mask to reveal rookie sensation "Big Nasty" Eric Watts. Begrudgingly Jergs slowly entered the ring and handed Alexander the title.

Episode #27 - Season 2

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)



(New CCU Heavyweight champion Cedric Alexander walks out to the ring accompanied by "Big Nasty" Eric Watts)
CA: Well, for all the haters and that includes the owner of Charm City Underground I only have one question - How does it taste? How does it feel knowing that you were wrong to ever doubt my talent. I'm something special and to honest I'm too good for all of you.

(Stokley Hathaway interrupted.)
SH: Cease and desist. You Cedric Alexander have made a mockery of honest competition and you big boy well, you broke the law. How can you have the unmitigated gall to stand here and trumpet your thievery is beyond me and the rightful champion Moose. I demand justice.


(M.W. Jergs interrupted the proceedings)
MWJ: Stop, right now. Look I know that last week was full of surprises but the referee's decision is final and while I don't agree with it Cedric Alexander is the cuurent title holder. However - Moose is entitled to a re-match next week in a No-Holds barred title match. But this week I feel that Moose will need to get properly warned up and that means that he and Eric Watts will wrestle this week.

CA: Whoa. Hold up. I'm the champion and I decide what is done with my title. So maybe I won't be here next week. I could be in any country in the world plying my trade.

MWJ: If you aren't here next week you will be stripped of the title. If you choose to take that title with you and you don't return my belt you will hear from my attorney. Bye champ.

1) Christina Von Eerie pinned Leva Bates with a KNEE STRIKE @ 6:14.
-Bates started quick and had the punk rocker in trouble early. A reversed turnbuckle whip and a quick knee strike gained the second consecutive win for Von Eerie in as many weeks.

Backstage: (The entire Elite - Adam Cole, The Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega are sitting in the locker room.)

AC: Alright gentlemen tonight is another step closer to getting my title back. Chris Hero seems set on getting me in the ring and he'll get what he wants. Now Kenny, please just stay in the back Ok. I got this.
KO: Did you get the card I sent you?
AC: What?
KO: The card I wrote by hand saying how sorry I am that things got mixed up last time. Please understand I was only trying to help.
MJ: Yeah Adam Kenny was just trying to help. We all have to stick together. All for one.
AC: (sigh) Yeah I get it. But please guys I got it. No need for help.
NJ: You winked. Oh, I got it. Totally.
AC: I didn't wink Nick.
NJ: You sure?
AC: Yes. Chris Hero is the one that's gonna get knocked out!

2) "Knockout Artist" Chris Hero defeated Adam Cole by DISQUALIFICATION when he used a steel chair @ 7:05.
- Hero attacked Cole from the bell and punished Cole with a variety of strikes. A Deathblow got a two count and Cole put his foot on the ropes. Cole rolled to the outside and hit a low blow. He then grabbed a chair and pounded away on Hero's back. The ref attempted to get between the two but Cole pushed him to the side and continued his attack causing the official to ring the bell giving the match to Hero.

Interview: (Jeremy Borash is backstage with the CCU Tag Team champions - Forever Hooligans)
JB: Gentlemen last week you held on to your titles just barely. No doubt you will have a re-match with the Young Bucks but another team will get their chance at you next week in Rich Swann and Ricochet. Care to comment?
RR: You know what the word Azucar means JB? It means sweet and me and my partner are enjoying all these teams coming after us for our belts. You have to beat us in that ring. Pinfall or submission. If you can. So it doesn't matter who we face they won't take these from us.
AK:Это верно. Мы не можем и не будем побеждены. Вечно хулиганы!
RR: Yup Yup. You heard the man.

3) Natural Selection (Brian Cage & Shaun Ricker) (w/ Larry Dallas) beat War Machine (Hanson & Raymond Rowe) by DISQUALIFICATION when Rowe used a foreign object @ 11:55.
- Larry Dallas took the mic with a lovely lady on each arm and introduced his first acquisitions as part of the PREMIER ATHLETE BRAND - Natural Selection - Shaun Ricker and Brian Cage. All four men engaged in a pier six brawl at the start until things calmed down. Dallas used distractions from his ladies to help his team gain the upper hand. Cage hit a discus lariat for a two count. Hanson reversed a whip and hit one of his own and made the tag to Rowe. War Machine appeared on a roll until Dallas grabbed Rowe's leg. He then left the ring to chase the manager but was caught by Ricker off the apron. This set off another brawl and Rowe grabbed anything he could find under the ring which caused the official to ring the bell.

Interview: (Jeremy Borash is with Zack Sabre Jr.)
JB: Zack Sabre Jr. arguably one of the best technicians in the ring today. It seems that you are having a hard time getting noticed lately. You called out new champion Cedric Alexander and he's said through several sources that you need to earn your way to getting back in the ring with him. Your thoughts?
ZSJr.: Um yeah. Champions usually don't back down from challenges so that tells me a bit about Cedric. I'm sure I'll get a chance sooner rather than later. I know that my friend Will Ospreay has challenged Marty Scurll and he got pretty much the same answer that it until he said that he wants me instead. Marty we know each other well mate and you've taken a bit of a dark turn in your career. Armbar versus Armbar. I will be ready. Will you?

4) "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega pinned Dalton Castle (w/ The Boys) with ONE-WINGED ANGEL @ 5:25.
- Omega took some early offense but soon turned things in his favor. A powerslam and a Kotaro Krusher softened up Castle for the finisher and a three count.

Ringside: Todd Grisham has a special announcement. Next week there will be a Fatal-4 Way Match to crown the new Charm City Underground Women's champion. Stay tuned.

5) Moose (w/Stokley Hathaway) fought "Big Nasty" Eric Watts (w/Cedric Alexander) to a DOUBLE-DISQUALIFICATION @ 10:15.
- An out of control situation between these two big men. They fought in and out of the ring and there was little the official could do about it. Finally the bell was sounded as each man was unable to adhere to the rules.

Episode #28 - Season 2

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)

1) "The Villain" Marty Scurll beat Zack Sabre Jr. with the CROSSFACE CHICKENWING @ 7:12.
-A back and forth contest that saw Scurll gain control with several high impact moves. Will Ospreay made his way to ringside to cheer on Sabre but it didn't help much. Scurll was able to reverse an attempted Cross Armbreaker into his crossface and got a tap out for the victory. After the match Ospreay tended to Sabre as the Villain took the microphone.

MS: You realize Zack that it doesn't have to be like this. You can step out of the light and you and I can take control of this place together. Please I beg you. These people don't appreciate you like I do. Certainly that wanker who claims to have your back doesn't understand just how great you are. So take my hand and let's walk out of here together.

(Sabre paused and appeared to be thinking about it but Ospreay landed a flying dropkick that sent Scurll through the ropes. The two men then left together as we go to break.)

Interview: (Jeremy Borash is with Sami Callihan)
JB: Sami Callihan, the self professed King of the Streets you had your struggles this season getting a win over Chris Hero. Are you finished with him yet or do you plan to set your attention on the Charm City Heavyweight title?
SC: Borash, I've spent many long hours up at night. Trying to figure out why I can't get past Chris Hero. He's a good wrestler but I am the toughest man pound for pound to ever step foot in the ring. I'm always looking for new challenges and that belt would look good around my shoulder. But I need to refocus and channel my energy into laying a serious beating on my next opponent and that man is Kenny Omega. Omega, you came in here with a lot of fanfare but I am one of the top dogs here and if you want to make a name for yourself here you have to go through me.
JB: Never a man to back down from a challenge, Sami Callihan wants Kenny Omega. Sooner rather than later.

-Fatal Four Way- Charm City Women's Title-
2) Madison Eagles defeated Heidi Lovelace, Veda Scott, & Christina Von Eeerie when Eagles pinned Von Eerie with a SPIDER GERMAN SUPLEX @ 8:35 to win the title.
- A fast paced match that saw multiple pin attempts. Eagles was able to break up a pin attempt by Scott after a pair of DDTs floored the punk princess. Eagles locked in a spider German suplex from the top rope fora thrilling title win.

Backstage: (Adam Cole is with The Young Bucks as Kenny Omega walks into the room)
KO: Gentlemen how are we today?
MJ & NJ: Great just great.
KO: Adam, what about you?
AC: I'm fine.
KO: Well you don't look fine. Look I think it would be a good idea if we all had a nice chat.
AC: Yeah, let's... talk.
KO: Great. We can't help notice, that is myself and Nick and Matt that you seem to be in a funk lately and we want to know why.
AC: You want to know why? Well I'll tell you. No offense Kenny but why are you here? I know that we are The Elite of the Bullet Club and that we have things going on all over the world. But I was hoping that this place was somewhere where I could do my own thing. Kind of like a solo project. My thing. But here you are and I'm kind of put off yeah.
KO: That honesty is refreshing. Look it's ok. Everyone needs time apart but I have an idea. We need to spend some quality time together and I suggest a tag team match you and me in that ring together and you'll see that we need each other.
AC: (confused) I don't think.
KO: You won't regret it my friend. So let's get out there win one for the club. (The Bucks start clapping and cheering both men on)
AC: Um. (sigh) Fine I guess. I don't see how this gets me closer to the heavyweight title. And what about Sami Callihan. He just called you out today.
KO: Callihan can wait. You are more important. Just trust me. (pulling close) Look I got your text. It's okay to ask for help some times.

The Elite. The - The Elite! (The Bucks start clapping loudly and join in. They start to lead out of the room leaving a confused Cole behind them.)

AC: What text message?

3) War Machine (Hanson & Raymond Rowe) beat "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega & Adam Cole by DISQUALIFICATION @ 5:15 when Omega used a BROOM ATTACK.
-Cole and Omega were a bit out of synch but got some solid offense in on their larger opponents. The match spilled to the outside and Omega went to his trademark broom and was a bit too aggressive with it jamming it in Hanson's throat. The official called for the bell and gave the match to War Wachine. Cole was visably annoyed at Omega who was attempting to explain as he walked behind him to the locker room.

Interview: (Jeremy Borash is with Stokley Hathaway and Moose)
JB: Moose, you no longer have the Charm City Heavyweight title but tonight you get a chance to regain that belt in a no holds barred encounter. Any thoughts?
SH: Moose doesn't need to answer that question because he will show with his actions how wronged he feels by Cedric Alexander. He will make him pay the price for that cheap stunt that he had to pull to get the gold off this mountain of a man. Tonight the belt comes back where it belongs.
(Moose glares at Stokley and grabs the mic.)
M: Cedric Alexander. You've done messed up. You poked the bear. Now you deal with the consequences.

-CCU Tag Team Title Match-
4) Forever Hooligans (Rocky Romero & Alex Koslov) (c) beat Inner City Machine Guns (Ricochet & Rich Swann) when Koslov pinned Swann with a SOVIET STRIKE @ 13:16.
-An excellent tag team match that saw plenty of near falls. Ricochet went for the 640 Splash but crashed and burned leaving an opening for the Hooligans double team moves. All four men were in the ring and Koslov landed a stiff superkick to Swann as Romero dumped Ricochet to the floor to retain the belts. The Hooligans celebrated their win until the lights went out................



(The fans went wild as "Broken" Matt Hardy and Brother Nero stood in the ring with their hands on Vanguard One.)
MH: Ahhhh yeeeeeesssssss. Where have the seven deities taken us Brother Nero?
BN: Where are your tag team champions? We must battle them tonight. We must procure their gold. Procure! Procure!
MH: (spotting the Hooligans who are visably confused) It appears that the wretches are right over there. The Hooligans of Eternity. Stand fast and defend yourselves.

(MW Jergs is out to put a stop to this.)
MWJ: Hold on. Hold on. This is not how things are done here in Charm City. Obviously everyone knows who you are but that doesn't mean you get automatic title shots. Gentlemen please follow me and I'm sure we can work things out so you can get what you want.
MH: We will listen to your proposal Mr. promoter but we are well aware of how slippery and nefarious your types can be.
JH: You remind me of the treacherous Meek-Mahon. We will be on our guard.

-Charm City Heavyweight Title- No Holds Barred- No DQ-
5) Cedric Alexander (c) (w/Eric Watts) defeated Moose (w/Stokley Hathaway) with a LUMBAR CHECK @ 8:25.
-A brutal fight that started with Moose rushing to attack. Alexander regained the upper hand when he turned the tables on his opponent when he suplexed him onto a ladder that he had brought into play. Later in the contest Hathaway brought out white powder from his pocket and instead threw it in Moose's eye's instead! The double cross left him open to the Lumbar Check and Alexander retaining the title. All three men know stomped away on Moose. Watts then hit a Murder Bomb on Moose through a table!

*Moose is injured for two fight cards.

Charm City Underground
Baltimore, Maryland
Episode #29 - Season 2

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)

In-Ring: (Jeremy Borash introduces Owner/Head Booker M.W. Jergs)
JB: Well Boss a lot of questions for you but the first one has to be about the sudden appearance of the Broken Hardys.
MWJ: JB, Here we are in season two and Charm City Underground continues to impress the wrestling world. So much so that we got a visit from the hottest tag team in professional wrestling in Matt and Jeff Hardy. Now I have You Tube and I know what their expedition of gold is all about. But before I just put them in the ring against the champions - Forever Hooligans I need to maintain some consistency. We don't just hand out title shots - you earn them. So in order to do just that The Broken Hardys must run the gauntlet against some of our top contenders tonight in the Main Event.
JB: No doubt that should be phenomenal. I also have to ask about the status of now former Charm City Heavyweight champion Moose who was turned on by his now former manager Stokley Hathaway. It is my understanding that Mr. Hathaway will address his actions here tonight.
MWJ: Very unfortunate but as of right now Moose is recovering from last week's attack and he is not in the building. I wish him a speedy recovery. But fans we have another fantastic show so let's get started!

1) Natural Selection (Shaun Ricker & Brian Cage) (w/Larry Dallas) beat Colt Cabana & Dalton Castle (w/The Boys) when Cage pinned Cabana with WEAPON X @ 11:06.
-Cage and Ricker showed off some impressive tag team moves with a touch of power but the team of Castle and Cabana proved resilient. Colt used some unorthodox offense with Eat Defeat and it it took Dallas to put Ricker's foot on the rope to break the count. All four men battled in the ring but Castle was wiped out by a clothesline that set Cabana to be hit with a double clothesline and then Weapon X by Cage for the pinfall.

Interview: (Jeremy Borash is with Charm City Women's Champion Madison Eagles)
JB: Congratulations are in order for you Madison Eagles as you overcame three other top contenders to become the first Charm City Women's champion.
ME: Thank you JB. I can't tell you how proud I am to hold this belt. I know that I will make this a prestigious only by defending it against the best. So that is what I intend to do.
(Veda Scott interrupts)
VS: Ugh, Borash don't you need an interpreter out here? It's all pops and buzzes here mate. Since you said that you will defend that belt I'd like to be the first challenger since I am undefeated in Charm City.
ME: It doesn't matter to me. Anywhere. Anytime. But weren't you in that match where I won this belt?
VS: A loss is by pinfall or submission and I did neither. So give me what I deserve.
ME: Ok (slaps Scott across the face and leaves)
VS: Assault! Assault! Where is Jergs?

2) Heidi Lovelace pinned Athena with a HEIDI-CAN-RANA @ 6:35.
- A very even match-up between Lovelace and the debuting "Godess of wrestling" Athena. Athen stood on the top rope but Lovelace quickly blocked her and she fell on to the buckle. This allowed Heidi to quickly hit the top rope rana with a cradle for a hard fought victory.

Video package: (Stokley Hathway stands alone in a room)
SH: Ladies and gentlemen it seems that for some reason people want me to explain my actions from last week and why I left Moose. Frankly my knees hurt from carrying such an ignoramus week after week. What was Moose before I got here? I'll tell you he was a directionless man who struggled to keep his head above water. Under my guidance he became the second man to ever wear this gold belt. But then along came Cedric Alexander and I will admit that I was highly impressed with his manipulations and trickery to put Moose at a disadvantage. And because he out thought him he defeated him. So I reached out to the champion and I laid out my plan to help him stay the titleholder and a new union was born. The new dream team, myself, Cedric Alexander, and a hungry young lion in "Big Nasty". Together we will control the scene in Charm City for as long as we want.

3) "Aerial Assassin" Will Ospreay beat "The Villain" Marty Scurll with the ESSEX DESTROYER @ 9:21.
-Before the match Scurll took the mic. "William, why are we here? You can't beat me. Not because you're not talented but rather you refuse to go to a place inside yourself that will let you unlock your full potential. You and Zack keep fighting it, for some reason. For some reason you want to be the hero and what has it gotten you? You haven't won a single match yet here in CCU. So what makes you think it will happen now?" Ospreay lands a knee strike and pounds away on Scurll. He tosses him to the outside ans hits a spectacular shooting star to the outside that fired up the crowd. The match went in and out of the ring with Scurll able to stay one step ahead most of the match. Back inside Ospreay ducked a lariat and hit the flip piledriver to gain the win. After the bell Ospreay continued his assault. Zack Sabre Jr. was out to grab him off but Ospreay wasn't ready to leave the ring. Sabre tried to restrain him and with some help from CCU officials was able to do so. As Scurll came too he had a smirk on his face.


4) "King of the Streets" Sami Callihan beat "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega(w/Adam Cole) by DISQUALIFICATION when Adam Cole interfered @ 7:25.
- In an uncharacteristic move Cole accompanied Omega to the ring. Callihan attacked from the bell and never let up. After a Headlock Driver Omega was close to the ropes and Cole grabbed his leg to gain a break. Omega started to turn the tide but Cole grabbed Omega's infamous spray can and used it on his opponent in full view of the official. The ref called for the bell but Omega hit the One-Winged Angel in the ring before the two left the scene as Callihan was on his back.

Interview: (Jeremy Borash is with Matt and Jeff Hardy)
JB: The expedition for gold continues as the Hardys run the gauntlet in tonight's main event.
MH: Ahh yeees. Mr. announcer myself and the nefarious Brother Nero are out to prove that we are the greatest tag team in all of space and time and so the seven deities have guided us here to win the Urban tag team championship of the world! It doesn't matter to us if we wrestle one team or a thousand we will procure that gold.
JH: We shall render any team that stands before us as obsolete and we shall. Delete! Delete! Delete!

[mwjergs]

Charm City Underground
Baltimore, Maryland
Episode #29 - Season 2

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)

Backstage: (MW Jergs is on his cell)
MWJ: Um yeah. Thanks by the way for that. Well I have to go because I need to clean up this mess up that you helped create. Oh and how did you even get this number? I suggest you lose it!

(Jeremy Borash knocks on the door)
JB: Hey boss. The Elite are outside to see you.
MWJ: Thanks JB.
JB: If you don't mind me asking what do you have planned for tonight's tag team title match? If the Hardys win then they've said that they would take the belts back to North Carolina and melt them down.
MWJ: I know. I know. I thought the gauntlet would have stopped them last week. The fans want to see them and we cleaned up pretty well on Broken merch didn't we? But I can not allow the belts to leave. I just don't have that kind of budget. I think I have a plan though.
JB: Ok I hope so. I'll get ready. On in five.

(The Elite - Matt & Nick Jackson and Kenny Omega walk into the office.)
KO: Well good to see you sir. You have something that you wish to talk to us about?
MWJ: Yes I do. Where's Cole? Oh, that's right you boys are having some relationship problems. No concern of mine. What I would like to ask you about is..Um hold on a second. Why is there a camera back here? Jed, go out and get ready the show is about to start.

(Camerman leaves and the opening is played)

1) Dalton Castle (w/The Boys) defeated "Big Nasty" Eric Watts (w/Stokley Hathaway) with DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX @ 5:55.
- Watts was out quickly as he attacked the party peacock right away. Castle reversed the momentum and hit a low blow that he transitioned into a facebuster. Hathaway jumped on the apron but was grabbed by the legs by the Boys. Hathaway fixed his suit and was indignant at being touched at all. Castle then showed amazing strength in lifting the big man up and over into a pin-fall predicament that gave him the win.

Interview: (Jeremy Borash is with Adam Cole)
JB: Adam you are a former Charm City Heavyweight champion but it is safe to say that things haven't been going your way this season?
AC: For the first time JB you may be correct. I don't understand why I can't seem to get an opportunity to regain my title. I know that if I get that shot I won't waste it.
JB: What about the Elite? It's clear that you all are not on the same page.
AC: Yes. Yes that's true. Sometimes in a group not everyone understands the big picture. I had hoped that my time in Charm City with Matt and Nick would be akin to a solo project. I chance for me to spread my wings individually and then Kenny Omega showed up. Now I like Kenny. We've worked well in the past but I need all three of them to understand that I NEED a chance to redeem myself. I crave it. I ---

(Chris Hero lands a Deathblow Elbow to Cole's back)
CH: You think I forgot about that chair shot you conceited punk! Have fun picking up your teeth!

-Charm City Women's Title Match-
2) Veda Scott defeated Madison Eagles (c) with FLEX EXPRESS to win the title @ 7:03.
-Eagles was quick on the attack and had Scott in trouble. Christina Von Eerie walked to ringside to jaw with the champion. The distraction was costly as Scott was able land her finish for the three and the title. Von Eerie then rolled into the ring with a chair and hit the Graveyard Smash on top of it. Officials cleared the ring as Eagles was attended to.
*Eagles is out 3 cards

Backstage: (Jeremy Borash is with the Broken Hardys)
JB: Gentlemen you have your title match tonight with Forever Hooligans as your expedition of gold continues.
MH: Ahhh yessssss. House Hardy is on an expedition of gold and we have come here to the Charmed City to take the Urban tag team titles of the World! And when we do we will take it back to our compound with so many others as a trophy of our accomplishment.
JH: For all the wonder in believing man it’s making me weak I’ll fade away and classify the Hooligans of Eternity as obsolete!

(The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega attack the Broken Hardys from behind. Omega with a high knee to the back of Matt's head. The Bucks then deliver a Con-Chair-To to Brother Nero and then another to Broken Matt. The Hardys are down and out left semi-conscious on the floor)

3) Brian Cage (w/Larry Dallas) defeated Raymond Rowe with Discus Lariat @ 4:25.
- Both Shaun Ricker and Hanson were sent to the back before this one started. This was a hard hitting hoss battle between these two with plenty of high impact moves.Cage's unnatural agility was the difference as he surprised his opponent with a discus lariat for the three count.

Interview: (Jeremy Borash is with Zack Sabre Jr. and Will Ospreay)
JB: Gentlemen you both still continue to have your problems with Marty Scurll.
WO: Um, well one of us still does. I got a win over him.
ZSjr.: Yes, that's true but it was only your first win here.
WO: That being said. You just need to be a bit more aggressive Zack. I could show you a few things so you don't embarrass yourself next time against him.
ZSjr.: Wait a sec. Where is this coming from mate? Confidence is importance but you get too cocky and you get knocked down a peg.
WO: (smirking) I'm on the rise. Maybe Marty has a point?
(Ospreay walks away alone)

In Ring: (Charm City Tag Team champions - Forever Hooligans are introduced first and are in ring.)



(The music hits and the Young Bucks are on the ramp.)
MJ: Well since the Hardys appear to be truly broken in the back. My brother and I would like to get our re-match for the tag belts right now since the last time we were in the ring with you two, you had to get yourselves disqualified. Let's do this!)

(The Broken Hardys appear behind the Young Bucks and level them with chair-shots of their own. They limp to the ring and the match is on.)

-Charm City Tag Team Title Match-
4) The Broken Hardys (Broken Matt & Brother Nero) defeated Forever Hooligans (Alex Koslov & Rocky Romero) (c) when Brother Nero pinned Romero with a SWANTON BOMB @ 18:51 to procure the Charm City Tag Team Titles.
- The match was a wild one that was marred with attempted interference. Late in the match all four men were in the ring battling when the Young Bucks hit the ring while the ref was knocked out. The Bucks went for a Superkick party on Matt but nailed Rocky instead. They then charged the Broken one who flipped both to the floor. Brother Nero then hit a beautiful Swanton for the victory. The fans went nuts as MW Jergs hurriedly made his way to ringside and called anyone from the back that could respond "Don't let them leave!" he screamed. As The Bucks, Kenny Omega, Ricochet, Rich Swann, Shaun Ricker, Brian Cage, and Zack Sabre Jr. began to close in from ringside. Vanguard-One was then spotted over the crowd and it settled in the middle of the ring between the Hardys. They each grabbed hold and the lights went out. A few moments later and the Broken Ones had departed leaving the wrestlers confused and MW Jergs livid.

[Blehschmidt]

I don't reply here nearly as much as I need too, but man I love this fed!

Digging your take on arrogant Cedric quite a bit (especially since in real life he is one of the nicest and most humble guys I've met) and like the pairing with turned Hathaway.

Looking forward to seeing where the Sabre/Scurll/O'Spreay story goes. Could see a bunch of different possibilities, but can't quite tell which way you are heading.

Really enjoying the Cole/Omega stuff. I'm doing something similar in my fed. But your inclusion of The Bucks as kind of clueless locker room cheerleaders has been hilarious.

Speaking of The Elite, Jergs turning to them..... Woah.....

Which brings us to The Hardys! Just Awesome work!! I wanted so badly to bring them into my CWS fed, but felt I couldn't do the gimmick justice. You have just nailed it. Great work man.

Congrats on the FOTQ nomination. Well deserved.
