INTRO
Last time on Empowered: Rain was again out of control, seeking revenge for the betrayal by her long-time partner Lacey. Empowered consultant and commentator Tina Moretti tried offering Rain some guidance but was rebuked. April Hunter moved herself into position for a shot at Empowered Champion Trinity DeNucci. However, at a recent PWIS show, April’s Hell On Heels cohort, Amber O’Neal, defeated Trinity in a non-title match, blurring the contender-ship picture. DeNucci successfully defended the Empowered title against Sara Del Rey. After the match, Hell On Heels thought to corner the two women but Tina Moretti interjected herself, standing with the champion and challenger. Hunter swore Tina would live to regret her actions.
(Dave Prazak and Tina Moretti are calling the action)
DAVE: “Welcome back, Tina, to another edition of Empowered. But you’re not staying exclusively in the announcer’s booth tonight are you?”
TINA: “That’s right, Dave. I’m going to be stepping back in the ring one more time. April Hunter and Hell On Heels need to be taught a lesson.”
DAVE: “Indeed. You’ll be joining Empowered Champion Trinity DeNucci and Sara Del Rey in a six-woman tag team match in our main event!”
TINA: “Can’t wait.”
MATCH #1
Rain vs. Alere Little Feather
DAVE: “I think Alere is in for a bad night. Rain is not in a good mood.”
TINA: “After last time, I’m starting to understand how Rain feels.”
Rain starts very aggressively, tossing Alere across the ring by her hair then mercilessly puts her through some devastating maneuvers. Alere reverses out of a Boston Crab and turns the tables on her opponent and gets a near fall with Alere Dust. This only served to piss off Rain even more. Little Feather then suffers many long minutes of punishment. Once Rain decides to end it, Alere refuses to be beat. Her fire having died down significantly, Rain starts looked remorseful for what she is putting her opponent through and finally is able to end it with a double knee facebreaker.
MATCH #2
MsChif vs. Leva Bates
DAVE: “MsChif is making her Empowered debut!”
TINA: “And I see Leva is wearing another interesting costume. I’m not sure who she’s supposed to be…”
DAVE: “I believe that is Jar-Jar Binks.”
TINA: “Who?”
DAVE: “A character from Star Wars. Who everyone hates.”
TINA: “Oh. Okay then.”
Despite a clumsy start, Leva really does some damage with two straight I Am Batman stomps from the top rope. MsChif seeks refuge on the floor and Leva follows. The two trade blows around ringside when, suddenly, MsChif let’s loose with a spray of green mist that painfully blinds Leva. It is clear to the ref what has happened and he disqualifies MsChif who gets back into the ring and chases him off with a banshee-like scream.
DAVE: “Green mist is illegal, Tina!”
TINA: “Clearly. As it should be. Hopefully Leva doesn’t have any permanent damage to her eyesight.”
Winner: Leva Bates
MATCH #3
Sumie Sakai vs. Laura Phoenix
Sakai’s early offense is stymied by her more powerful opponent. The bigger Phoenix uses a variety of lariats to knock Sumie off her feet then drives her into the mat with a thunderous powerslam. Sakai rebounds and uses her speed to put Phoenix off balance. Laura hammers Sakai some more but Sumie puts her submission skills on display, attempting to make Phoenix tap out to a choking Camel Clutch. Climbing to the top rope, Sakai hits the groggy Phoenix with a cross body block and gets the pin.
Winner: Sumie Sakai
Intermission: A professionally-dressed woman in a pantsuit and glasses comes out to the ring.
DAVE: “Who do we have here?”
TINA: “Oh, this is someone I am very familiar with. Fans may remember her as Molly Holly but now she goes by her real name: Nora Greenwald.”
Nora gets into the ring and requests a microphone.
NORA: “I’ve been watching Empowered and, quite frankly, I am not impressed. I see a group of women who are neither talented enough, nor beautiful enough, to make to the big time. I should know because I’ve been there. Not one of these girls has what it takes to be a true diva. That is why I am here. The women of Empowered need to be shown that they are just small fish in a much bigger pond. And what happens when you introduce a shark to that pond…?”
The crowd by this point is heckling Nora. She just smiles and continues.
“Oh, I see. You think the shark I’m talking about is me. No, no. My wrestling days are behind me but I represent a powerful woman who plans to teach all these amateurs here just what it’s like to be in the ring with a far superior athlete. That woman is - Jazz!!”
Jazz comes through the curtain. She is in fantastic shape and looks as intimidating as ever. She slowly makes her way to the ring, staring down any fan who gives her grief.
NORA: “Women of Empowered, you are on notice: the alpha female of professional wrestling is here. Prepare to be shown just how pathetic you all are!”
TINA: “Oh my, Dave. I’m very familiar with Jazz as well. She’s going to give the girls in this locker room a run for their money. But I have confidence that they will be up to the task.”
DAVE: “And just like that, the landscape of Empowered has drastically changed.”
MATCH #4
Daizee Haze vs. Christina Von Eerie
The two women shake hands before the bell. Von Eerie locks up with Haze and tries to muscle her to the mat. Daizee reverses and takes Christina down with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. Daizee then delivers a jarring knee smash and hooks the leg for the three count.
DAVE: “Wow! The Haze wasn’t fooling around out there. That could be an Empowered record!”
TINA: “That was something, Dave. Well, I have to leave you now to prepare for my match.”
Winner: Daizee Haze
MATCH #5
Angel Orsini vs. Simply Luscious
DAVE: “Angel and Luscious are both trying to make a push for the top of the ratings. There’s a lot riding on this one.”
Luscious out-hustles Orsini and looks for an early pin with the Luscious Landing. Angel kicks out with authority. Not giving her opponent a chance to recover, Luscious uses her finisher again, this time getting a two count but not the pin. Angel just can’t get any offense going as Luscious evades her every attempt. Despite her advantage, Luscious can’t keep her opponent's shoulders to the mat. Either out of frustration or desperation, Luscious uses Angel’s tights for leverage after a snap suplex for the cheap win. She takes pride in the victory as Angel futilely tries to point out the infraction to the referee.
DAVE: “Once again we see Simply Luscious bend the rules to get one in the win column. It’s a shame she feels she has to win that way.”
Winner: Simply Luscious
MAIN EVENT
Trinity DeNucci, Sara Del Rey & Tina Moretti vs. Hell On Heels
DAVE: “Well, this is it. Tina is joining Empowered Champion Trinity DeNucci and Sara Del Rey to stand up to April Hunter and her bullies. Mean girls, indeed.”
Bitter rivals, Trinity and April, square off first. Hunter uses her size advantage to pound on the champion but Trinity turns the tide with a flurry of dropkicks, suplexes, and bulldogs. DeNucci tries a rolling snap suplex but April blocks and gives her a crushing powerbomb then tags in Amber O’Neal. Amber and Lacey combine for the Blonde Bomb and Amber makes the cover. Tina tries making the save but Del Rey grabs a hold of her arm, preventing it. The three count is made.
DAVE: “That makes it twice now that Amber has pinned the Empowered Champion! And what the hell was Del Rey doing?!”
Tina confronts Sara about her actions then goes to check on Trinity. Before Tina can step away, Sara spins her back around and boots Tina in the face. The crowd is shocked as Del Rey then delivers an ax kick to the back of Tina’s head. Amber leans in the corner smiling as the rest of HOH hold Trinity down. Del Rey then lifts Tina up and gives her not one but two spike piledrivers. The crowd is very vocal as Amber steps forward and reaches into her top, pulls out a roll of bills and hands it to Del Rey. Sara nods then leaves the ring. Amber stands over Tina’s crumpled form and yells at her - “I told you to stay out of my business, b***h!”
April then turns to the restrained Trinity and kicks her. “I’m not done with you either!”
Hell On Heels stand side by side in the center of the ring, join hands and raise them into the air.
Winners: Hell On Heels
DAVE: “What a disgusting display! And I can’t believe what Sara Del Rey just did. She’s nothing but a damn mercenary! That’s all the time we have, fans. Thank you for watching.”
