Showtime! at Southern Sun
10.04.2123 from Southern Sun Memorial Hall Centrapolis, Centra Prime 7,420
- What We See -
We're back at the smallest venue with the most hardcore crowd on Centra! Fans bring it with signs for their favorites and most hated.
Highlights include -
Shepard was Screwed
I'm an AMAZING Fann!
and
Kill Kincade
Darkseed and Scud have more signs then anyone else, a sight that would seem unbelievable the last time we were at Southern Sun.
Note - Fights broke out outside the Hall between fans as they waited for the doors to open. This was chalked up to the die hard nature of the fans Southern Sun attract.
- Aegis -
Aegis appears on the Holo-Tron to cheers. He lets them die down before starting.
" A few announcements to make for Roll the Dice.
First, Avarice and Shepard will meet one on one in a Gutarr Stick match!
Because of his actions at the press conference, however, the Board has insisted Shepard not get physically involved with Avarice, or he will forfeit the match.
Second, we will have two matches tonight to see who will be involved in the Ladder of Success match and two on our next show.
There will be three ladders of varying size -
8' tall , 12' tall and 20' tall.
Three briefcases will hang from the ceiling with a contract in it for a title shot at the Holovision, Battlefield, and aCe title in it.
The higher you go, the riskier it is, but the greater the reward!
The wrestler to pull a briefcase is the winner and will fight for that title at Party Centra!"
Mr. Bloat vs. Aspin Northstar
Mr. Bloat defeated Aspin Northstar with an Organ Grinder at 7:40
Match Rating: 3.25
Aspin Northstar survives three separate attempts of CRUEL AND UNUSUAL, takes a forehead carving and several Homicidal Tendencies but wouldn't stay down. Mr. Bloat actually enjoyed the fight that Northstar put up and was a bit disappointed when he taps to Organ Grinder.
- Peacemaker -
In a backstage interview Peacemaker expressed his dismay at The Boards decision to only allow four determining matches for entry to the Ladder of Success.
"Open it up to all, everyone deserves a chance!"
Godsend and Nightmare vs. The Archangels
Godsend defeated Gabriel with HELL'S THRESHOLD at 8:00
Match Rating: 3.00
The members of Dominion dominated Exodus early on.
A hot tag to Gabriel looked to swing the favor until Godsend took things outside.
Exodus tries to break up HELL'S THRESHOLD but is speared by Nightmare and it's over.
After the match the ref hands Nightmare his busted Holovision title which he immediately hurls at the turnbuckle post.
- Meanwhile backstage... -
Our interviewer introduces Darkseed to the delight of the fans going wild inside the Hall.
Interviewer - Totalis, Nightmare, and the aCe itself are fuming at your actions during the FCT, do you have anything to say for yourself?
Darkseed - My bad.
Interviewer - My bad? You're racking up enemies faster than you can swing a mace! How do you plan on tackling all these challenges without a team?
As if on cue, Scud enters wearing a Darkseed vest.
Scud - Oh he doesn't need a team, he's got a teammate or better yet...a friend! Hey buddy, in honor of us making the Top 5 I got us some presents! I'm wearing mine...maybe you should wear yours!
Scud pulls out his only merch item, the Scud Muffin shirt, and presents it to Darkseed.
Darkseed looks at it in disgust.
Darkseed - Is that...baby blue? I don't wear baby blue and I don't wear your merchandise!
Darkseed takes off as Scud folds up his shirt and follows his friend.
Paganax vs. Flatliner
Paganax defeated Flatliner with a bearhug backbreaker at 12:53
Match Rating: 4.75
Flatliner was on another level.
Literally.
For every move Paganax made, Flatliner was there with a counter.
The way he jumped from the ring to the second rope to execute picture perfect dropkicks was like nothing we've ever seen from the machine.
Nearly defeating Paganax several times was only upstaged by the amount of times he kicked out from Primal Scream and PAGAN VOID, to say nothing of powering out of several Face Smotherings.
The Lava God proved why he is that, overcoming this surprising offense and shutting down the mechanical beast with a bearhug backbreaker
Nemean vs. Scud
Scud defeated Nemean with CRASH AND BURN at 2:23
This match set off a domino effect of epic proportions.
Nemean stood in the ring amazed and jealous by the crowds response for Scud.
So much so he tries to attack with a running forearm smash before the introductions are complete!
Scud, being faster ducks and bounces off of the ropes multiple times before hitting a devastating leaping clothesline. A somersault dropkick has Nemean taking a powder but Scud springboards off the top rope and hits a shooting star DDT on Nemean to the crowds delight!
Nemean crawls back in but takes a barrage of high flying offense that ends in CRASH AND BURN. Scud doesn't throw Nemean back in the ring, instead plays to the crowd to roaring applause.
Nemean could beat the count but hears the adulation for Scud and decides to walk to the back!
AFTERMATH
As the ref counts to 20 Scud celebrates as Nemean stews from the aisle.
He expects his music but gets The Dominion's!
Godsend and Nightmare make their way out and Nemean steps aside mouthing "have at it."
They rush the ring and beatdown Scud before the lights in Southern Sun go out.
When they come back on Darkseed is in the ring!
He swings the mace at Nightmare who's too fast and manages to get out of the ring.
Godsend isn't as lucky.
Darkseed turns and backhands Godsend in the side of the head with the mace! Godsend howls in pain as Darkseed moves closer, ready to hit the final blow.
From the crowd, Totalis charges and smashes Darkseed with a title belt sending the Slayer down.
"Get me a (expletive deleted) ref!" he screams.
Darkseed vs. Totalis
Darkseed defeated Totalis with a sledghammer fist at 2:34
Match Rating: squash
The ref waits for Darkseed to get to his feet before ringing the bell.
Totalis charges but Darkseed catches him and throws him up into a backbreaker rack.
Totalis flails around before being dropped hard.
Darkseed hits two BELLY OF THE BEAST that The Tournament Master barely kicks out of.
Darkseed storms around the ring as the crowd gets louder and louder.
Totalis gets to his feet and takes a sledghammer fist getting knocked out cold. It's over!
AFTERMATH
Nightmare and Godsend (who remained at ringside) climb into the ring for round two but Scud is ready with a chair.
Officials get into the ring to make sure nothing else happens escorting Darkseed and Scud out of the ring.
Furious, Godsend attacks Totalis for the loss! It's quickly broken up but another wrinkle is added to this feud.
- The State of The New School -
Avarice and the Oakens head to the ring to loud boos. Rorus grabs the mic as the Blackheart stands in the corner, trademark smirk on his face.
Rorus - All youse scumbags get on yer feet, shut yer mouth, and pay some respect fer the new aCe champion...Nes Kincade!!!
The Centra equivalent of Hail to the Chief plays as Kincade comes out in a three piece suit, arms of the shirt and jacket cut off. The Oakens salute Nes and Kincade bows to Avarice. Avarice claps in an animated fashion and the whole thing is super hammy.
Kincade - My fellow aCeholes, The State of The New School is strong...and long! We run this show and we don't plan on letting go!
Nes continues on his tirade when The Amazing Mann appears on the Holo-Tron. A white board is behind him with all the names of The New School on them.
Silently, Mann takes a marker and crosses off Avarice. Then Donk and Rorus.
He circles Kincade's name and looks at his wrist and taps it mouthing "almost time!" before the Tron goes black.
The New School are embarrassed but Kincade continues. Minutes later the Holo-Tron interrupts again , this time following Shepard backstage as he confronts Aegis.
Shepard - Let me get this straight. I can't touch Avarice until Roll the Dice?
Aegis - Correct.
Shepard - We've known each other for years, Aegis. I officiated the renewal of your vows.
Aegis - I know, this isn't my call, it's the Board.
Shepard - So you recognize it's me, your friend, Shepard in front of you.
Aegis - Yeah, why are you acting so...ohhh.
Shepard looks at the camera and nods.
Suddenly a dozen "Shepards" storm the ring with Gutarr sticks attacking The New School!
They try to fight back at first but are severely outnumbered and retreat with speed, The State of The New School ruined!
aCe Battlefield Title
The Amazing Mann vs. Lance At-Las
The Amazing Mann defeated Lance At-Las with an UNBREAKABLE at 7:51
Match Rating: 3.50
A fantastic back and forth technical battle. Both men worked over the arm with several submissions applied. Lance tries to break free from UNBREAKABLE (1) but The Amazing Mann never lets go and gets it locked in (reroll to 4) and At-Las taps.
