LAST WEEK.....
Skrabz gets Forge to his feet and sets him up in the corner of the ring.
Ray Hudson: To set Forge up for the finish, maybe.
The fans erupt, as Candi Bratton slides into the ring with her Mile High Wrestling Championship belt.
Ray Hudson: Wait a minute!!!
Just as Skrabz turns around to go get the sledgehammer, Candi Bratton comes flying at him with the belt. But Skrabz ducks, and Candi is sent with her belt right into Forge's skull!!!
Wavy Crockett: Nooooooooo!!!!!!
Candi gets to her feet looking at Forge as he falls flat to his face. She grins anyways and turns back to Skrabz, who meets her with a Mic Check.
Ray Hudson: Mic Check to the champion!!!
DING DING DING
Ray Hudson: Wait what?!
Skrabz sits on the mat looking confused, as "Next Hype" by Tempa T begins playing throughout the arena.
Wavy Crockett: What the fuck...?
Byron Brown: And the winner of this match... Skrabz!!!
Wavy Crockett: WHAT?!!!
Skrabz looks over at the referee, asking what is going on.
Ray Hudson: What the hell is going on?
The camera reveals blood from a cut dripping down Forge's forehead.
Ray Hudson: Candi Bratton busted Forge open!!
Skrabz gets to his feet, and now notices Forge is bleeding.
Wavy Crockett: So how the hell does Skrabz win?!
Skrabz doesn't seem sure if he's satisfied with the way he has won.
Ray Hudson: First Blood...
Candi gets into sitting position, and Skrabz runs at her with the Penalty Kick.
Ray Hudson: Skrabz kicks Candi's head off, for interrupting his match!!
Wavy Crockett: She helped that boy win!! Where's the respect?
Skrabz grabs the Mile High Wrestling Championship and stares at it.
Wavy Crockett: Put that down! That's not your's!!!
Skrabz raises it into the air, as we hear a mixture of cheers and boos.
Ray Hudson: Will this be the scene at the end of The Rise, in two weeks??
All of a sudden, Skrabz drops the belt and quickly rolls out of the ring, as all five members of The Shieldmaidens slide into the ring.
Wavy Crockett: Uh oh! You done fucked up!!
RJ and Widow look out at Skrabz and RJ says a few words to him, as he smirks.
Wavy Crockett: He thinks he's so cute. These people ain't to be played with, Skrabal!!
All five women surround Candi Bratton, as Forge starts getting to his feet.
Ray Hudson: This doesn't look good for the Champ...
All of a sudden the fans start cheering as Emily Falls comes running down the ramp.
Wavy Crockett: What the hell?!
Emily slides into the ring and all five members of The Shieldmaidens start stomping away at her.
Wavy Crockett: She tried, I guess.
Bandit and Widow lift Emily up.
Wavy Crockett: I guess....
RJ turns around and jumps onto the middle rope and springboards at Emily with Maiden's Mercy!!
Ray Hudson: Maiden's Mercy!!!
Forge picks Candi Bratton up and gives her some Twisted Steel!!
Wavy Crockett: Twisted Steel!!!
Skrabz now stands at the top of the stage area, smirking.
Wavy Crockett: Yeah, you safe up there, boy!
Forge begs Skrabz to come back.
Wavy Crockett: He ain't coming, Forge!
Ray Hudson: That's all we got tonight! See you next week....
Skrabz just keeps smirking and throws up both middle fingers, as Episode 7 comes to an end...

Skrabz just keeps smirking and throws up both middle fingers, as Episode 7 comes to an end...
The official opening video of Mile High Wrestling begins showing. "Colorado" by TECH N9NE starts playing for the first 27 seconds of the track, and then the hook is looped for a second time.
Yeah, uh-huh, uh-oh, no, damn
An overview of Downtown Denver is shown during the night, with a baby blue and orange color scheme.
It-it-it-it-it-it that good Colora-
The screen flickers back and forth rapidly, between cuts of Downtown Denver and the Mile High Wrestling logo, concluding with the logo turning sideways and spinning off into the screen like a ninja star.
(-Do, do, do, do)
You know it's that fire
I can't get no higher
Samantha "The Titaness" Hamilton is shown stepping over the top rope to enter the ring, followed by "Desert Rose" Anya flying in the air with a moonsault.
(Do, do, do, do)
I came to turn the night up
Now watch me as I light up
"The Party Boy" Chris Mosh is shown high fiving some fans, followed by all five members of The Shieldmaidens standing in the ring.
(-Do, do, do, do)
You know it's that fire
I can't get no higher
Forge is shown ramming his head into Deuce Holmes' face, followed by Emily Falls performing a Moonsault.
(Do, do, do, do)
I came to turn the night up
Now watch me as I light up
Skrabz is shown delivering the Mic Check to Candi Bratton, followed by Candi Bratton raising the Mile High Wrestling Championship in the air, as the video fades away, and the cameras are in the arena where fireworks are exploding. The instrumental to "Colorado" plays through the sound system, as the camera pans around the Denver crowd.
Ray Hudson: Welcome everyone to the eighth episode of Mile High Wrestling!!! And we are exactly one week from our huge night in Phoenix, Arizona!
Wavy Crockett: And we thought our homestate of Louisiana was hot, Ray. Arizona is a fucking sauna, I hear...
We see many signs in the crowd, such as "Bitches Get Stitches", "Martyr Machine", "HcW is still alive?", and "Mic Check".
Ray Hudson: But tonight, as usual, Denver is the place to be...
The familiar screams of “Big Bad Wolf” from In This Moment begins to play as the crowd gets to their feet.
Wavy Crockett: Here comes my favorite, already!!
Candi Bratton steps out from behind the curtain with the Mile High Wrestling Championship over her shoulder. She stops for a moment as she soaks in the cheers before she finally smirks and steps down the aisle towards the ring.
Ray Hudson: I don't think her match is scheduled just yet, so it should be interesting to hear why she is out here right now.
Wavy Crockett: She's out here because she can be, Ray.
Candi moves up the ringsteps and into the ring, as she walks to one side and holds up the championship as the crowd cheers for her. She’s wearing her PG rated T-shirt this week with no actual swearing on it and her logo on the back, as she moves to each side of the ring, holding the title high before moving over and grabbing the microphone from ringside.
Wavy Crockett: Shhhh.....
Candi Bratton: Well if it isn’t motherfucking Denver!
Candi places the championship back onto her shoulder as she continues.
Candi Bratton: I can say that because I’m officially a Denver resident.
More cheers from the crowd.
Candi Bratton: Not going to lie. I wasn’t intending to move to this piece of shit town, but here I am. All acclimated and shit. I’m thinking of investing locally in a business or two. Roots, right?
The fans start chanting “Candi! Candi! Candi!”
Candi Bratton: But that ain’t why I’m out here right now. There are some cocksuckers in the back who think that I’m a poor representative of this motherfucking company. Candi Bratton ain’t good enough, or pretty enough, or athletic enough to be the fucking face of Mile High Wrestling.
The crowd picks up some boos.
Candi Bratton: Well, I got something to say about that.
Candi walks right up to the camera and flips the bird and the crowd goes nuts.
Candi Bratton: All you judgemental pricks in the back can just go fuck yourself because you are looking at who represents this company. I’m the goddamned motherfucking Mile High Wrestling Champion and there hasn’t been anyone who’s been able to do anything about it. In fact...
Candi puts her finger on her chin, being all dramatic about thinking.
Candi Bratton: I beat that model-wanna-be Anya. I beat that genetic freak Hamilton. I beat that ugly toad Master who hasn’t been the same since. I beat Emily Falls. For crying out loud, now that I think about it, in singles competition there hasn’t been anyone who can beat me!
"Are you dizzy blud?"
Wavy Crockett: How dare he interrupt the champ!!!
Candi Bratton looks annoyed as Tempa T's "Next Hype" starts to play, signaling the arrival of Skrabal Stanzas.
Ray Hudson: Here comes the #1 Contender for the Mile High Wrestling Championship.
After a few seconds Skrabz walks out on to the stage area with a confident swagger and a smug smirk on his face. He paces across the entrance way taking the time to look out into the crowd on each side with his right fist raised in the air, which receives a mixed reaction. As he returns to the middle of the stage he takes a microphone from the back pocket of his loose-fitting jeans.
Wavy Crockett: This is so disrespectful...
Ray Hudson: I'm sure Skrabz is still hot about what Candi did last week...
In the ring, Candi Bratton raises her microphone to her mouth but Skrabz interrupts before she can speak.
Skrabz: Shush now, fam.
Skrabz smirks at Candi who looks him straight in the eyes and calls him a "mother fucker".
Wavy Crockett: Oh no he didn't!
Skrabz: You done said too much already and to be real witchu, ya potty mouth startin' a make man feel sick... I ain't talkin' 'bout the words ya choose ta use though, fam. I jus' mean you out here talkin' a whole load a shit.
Some cheers can be heard from the crowd.
Skrabz: See you said all them tings but not a single one matter coz at no point did you mention man like Skrabz... You can't keep over lookin' man though, nah. The Rise in Phoenix is jus' round the corner, the clock is countin' down and the alarm is about to sound time up on ya lil' title reign. So you besta wake the fuck up and snap out of your day dream coz man like Skrabz a be ya worst nightmare, on some Rambo on Elm Street type a shit.
The fans react positively as Skrabal pauses and looks arrogantly out in to the crowd.
Ray Hudson: Things are getting interesting...
Candi Bratton: Well, if you hadn’t interrupted me, I would have gotten to you, goddamn it. Besides, fucking Rob Mack is too busy knocking up the help to get me the subtitles I asked for whenever you cut a goddamed promo.
There’s some laughter from the crowd.
Wavy Crockett: Ahhahahhahahhaha!!!
Candi Bratton: You and I will definitely tear the place down, come The Rise. But unfortunately, every other mother fucker in the back wants to get in on our business so I had to come out here and cut them all down to fucking size. What else you gotta mumble, Scabs?
Skrabal shakes his head and looks at Candi through squinted eyes from under a furrowed brow.
Skrabz: Man's vocab might not be on no Queen's English tea and crumpets vibe but he ain't mumble, fam. This ain't no Gucci Gang shit. But since ya need subtitles I'm a put it English for you, one time. The only thing you need to cut down to size is your portions coz them calories will kill you if I don’t... and as far as everyone else go... I ain't see nobody out here but me and you, blad.
Skrabal drops his microphone on the floor causing it to cut out with a burst of static. With his eyes locked on Candi, he starts walking to the ring as the crowd roars to life.
Ray Hudson: It's about to go down right here in Denver!!
Wavy Crockett: That fool bout to get whooped!
Candi drops the title on the mat, along with the microphone as she looks to be more than ready to fight Skrabz, right here and right now.
Ray Hudson: The Rise is coming early!!
The moment, however, is interrupted by the roar of a motorcycle's engine followed by the pounding drums and guitars of Metallica's "Hardwired", which causes the fans to lose their shit as the Martyr Machine himself, Forge, storms out onto the stage and down the ramp!
Wavy Crockett: NOW shit is about to get interesting!!
Skrabz looks pissed and so does Candi, as the President of the Chrome Dragons pulls himself up onto the apron and enters the ring with fury in his eyes.
Ray Hudson: Well, I thought we were about to see Skrabz and Candi Bratton throw down...
The number one contender and the champion look between each other, then at Forge, then back again... trying to decide what's about to go down.
Wavy Crockett: Maybe Forge and Candi will double team Skrabz for interrupting the champ...
Ray Hudson: I doubt that...
Forge, however, takes a microphone from his back pocket and glares at them a moment before lifting the stick.
Forge: No, don't stop on my account.
Forge gestures between the two.
Forge: Go on. Fight. Tear each other apart. Matter of fact?
Leaving the ring, Forge goes to ringside and moves along the barricade for a moment, before quite blatantly, snatching one fan's bag of popcorn and another's beer.
Wavy Crockett: Aha! Forge is on that gangsta shit...
Setting them on the apron, he grabs a chair from under the ring and rolls back in, unfolding it and taking a seat.
Forge: There. Now fucking have at it, shitheads. Show me some blood.
Wavy Crockett: This is great!!
Munching on stolen snacks and pilfered brew, Forge stays in the corner, watching and waiting while Skrabz and Candi stare at him incredulously.
Ray Hudson: You just can't trust Forge Mitchell.
Just then 'Centuries' by Fall Out Boy hits the speakers and "Pretty" Ricky Stanton, CEO of Stanton Enterprises, the network provider for Mile High shows up on the screen. He gives a slow clap.
Ray Hudson: I had a feeling...
"Pretty" Ricky Stanton: Wow...I mean...WOWWWW. As much as we all probably want to see this go down, I think it wouldn't be good for business to give away such a great match this week. And Forge! How 'bout you! I thought Candi cut your tongue out and shoved it up your ass! The Pretty Boy watched you get pummeled last week and I laughed at ya! Laughed! You look like a broke down version of Rocky Balboa.
Candi Bratton nods, inside the ring.
Candi Bratton: He’s got a point there, Forget. You were bleeding like it was your time of the month.
"Pretty" Ricky Stanton: Sitting there eating your popcorn like you're a Michael Jackson meme or something. I mean, one whipped your ass, the other cleaned your clock. The pain medication must be goooooooooddddddddd.
Stanton laughs at Forge.
"Pretty" Ricky Stanton: But I digress. Your boss will probably end this little spat. But for now, Candi, Skrabz...don't let Forge bait you into something. He wants that title 'cause he thinks he's earned it.
Stanton laughs again.
"Pretty" Ricky Stanton: Far from the truth!
Stanton gives the handgun gesture to Forge. Forge though, leans back in the chair a little, munches down another handful of popcorn, then gulps down the rest of the beer, tossing the cup out of the ring.
Forge: The Pretty Bitch has arrived. And, as per usual, he's keeping his distance. Guess you CAN teach an old bitch new tricks. Now if we could just get Candi here to quit eating her own shit we might have something to brag about.
The popcorn goes flying and Forge stands up, dusting himself off.
Forge: If I were you, Stanton, I'd leave the arena before I get backstage. Unless you don't mind losing half the gate because I've crippled you before you step in the cage with me. As for you two jackasses?
Folding up the chair, Forge keeps a firm grip on it, not taking his eyes off the champ or the challenger.
Forge: No matter which of you wins at The Rise? You still lose. Because I'll be waiting to run you down like roadkill on the highway to Hell.
"Hardwired" hits again, as Forge leaves the ring and heads up the ramp, chair still in hand... no doubt ready to hunt down Stanton backstage.
Wavy Crockett: Forge is about to fuck "Pretty" Ricky Ricky Ricky up!
Candi clears her throat, as the music fades.
Candi Bratton: If you two pussies are done preening over there, perhaps you can let us main event players get some business done here!
Candi motions between herself and Skrabz.
Ray Hudson: NOW here we go!
Robert Mack: Actually...
The camera turns to show the Owner of Mile High Wrestling standing on the stage area.
Wavy Crockett: What the hell, man?
Robert Mack: As much as we'd surely all love to see you two fight, a week before your big Championship Match.... we can just go ahead and save that for The Rise.
Some boos come from the Denver crowd, as Rob smiles, with understanding.
Robert Mack: I know, I know. But later tonight.... Mr. Skrabz has a match with the beautiful and talented "Desert Rose" Anya!
Some cheers break through the boos.
Robert Mack: And right now...? Our Mile High Wrestling Champion has a Tag Team Match...
Tag Team Match
Candi Bratton & Emily Falls
vs
The Shieldmaidens
(Robi Jean Mitchell & Ophelia Blaque)
Candi Bratton & Emily Falls
vs
The Shieldmaidens
(Robi Jean Mitchell & Ophelia Blaque)
"Friday" by Rebecca Black begins playing throughout the arena, as the fans cheer. Skrabz says something to Candi, with a smirk, then exits the ring as Candi flips him off.
Wavy Crockett: You better run, chump!
Emily Falls steps out onto the stage area with a big smile. She shakes Robert Mack's hand, then jumps up and down, looking around the Magness Arena.
Ray Hudson: We gotta take a break. We'll be right back with this big Tag Team Match...
We go to break.

We are back from our break, as the lights dim. On the tron the Shieldmaiden’s motto appears “Hell is empty and the Maidens are here.” The opening of Marilyn Manson’s “This Is The New Shit” starts ramming it’s way onto the soundsystem. The Shieldmaiden’s logo pops up on the entrance screen.
“Babble babble bitch bitch
Rebel rebel party party
Sex sex sex and don't forget the violence
Blah blah blah got your lovey-dovey sad-and-lonely
Stick your stupid slogan in
Everybody sing along”
Shieldmaidens’ President, Robi Jean “RJ” Mitchell, steps out first, to her immediate right stands her VP, Alex “Bullet” Carbajal, to her left stands her Sgt-At-Arms, Ophelia “Widow” Blaque. Fellow group members, Jackie “Bandit” Layton and Fianna Donnelly, take their places on either end of their officers, the five women all staring dead at the ring.
Byron Brown: The following contest is a Tag Team Match for one fall! In the ring already, weighing in at a combined weight of 370 pounds... BOTH residing right here in Denver, Colorado..... Emily Falls and the Mile High Wrestling Champion....... Candi Bratton!!!
“Are you motherfuckers ready
For the new shit?
Stand up and admit
Tomorrow's never coming
This is the new shit
Stand up and admit”
Byron Brown: And their opponents... weighing in at a combined weight of 240 pounds..... from New Orleans, Louisiana....... they are being accompanied to the ring by their fellow Shieldmaidens... Robi Jean Mitchell and Ophelia "Widow" Blaque!!!
As the chorus rages over the speakers, RJ leads her group to the ring. They surround the ring, Bandit and Bullet going around the right while Widow and Fianna go to the left. They nod to each other as they wait for the chorus to kick in again.
As soon as the chorus starts, RJ nods and the five women all climb up into the ring and make their way to the middle, taking their places as they face the hard camera in the same order they stood on the stage. The chorus plays again and RJ raises her fist, the other four doing the same in unison, all seemingly ready to conquer the world before them.
DING DING DING
Senior Referee Michael Mack has called for the bell, and it looks like we're starting off with Ophelia and Candi.
Wavy Crockett: My favorite wrestler gets to start the match!
Ray Hudson: The Champ vs The Widow!
Candi starts flipping off Widow, as Widow looks back at RJ and laughs. RJ laughs with her, shaking her head.
Wavy Crockett: Candi bout to raise some hell.
Ophelia gets into grapple position, and the two lock up.
Ray Hudson: Starting off with some grappling.
Ophelia starts pushing Candi towards the corner. Candi spins her around right before they get to the corner, and gets her into the corner. The ref pulls Candi off of Ophelia.

Wavy Crockett: Well, maybe Candi got her right, cause she's doing good...

Emily has stumbled backwards, but is still standing. As Ophelia gets to her feet Emily runs at her with a spear.
Ray Hudson: Spear! Spear!
Emily tags in Candi.
Ray Hudson: Emily tags Candi back in.
Ophelia hits Candi with a spinning heel kick as she gets into the ring. She starts stomping away at Candi.
Wavy Crockett: Come on, Candi!
As Ophelia steps back, Candi gets to her feet. Ophelia Irish whips her towards the ropes. RJ holds the top rope down, as Candi goes flying out of the ring.
Ray Hudson: That was uncalled for!
RJ hops off the ring apron and starts stomping away at Candi.
Ray Hudson: Oh come on!
Wavy Crockett: Don't do my girl that, RJ!
Ray Hudson: Shieldmaiden tactics!
Emily hops down from the apron on her side, and starts making her way around.
Ray Hudson: Emily coming to save her tag partner.

The ref slides out of the ring and tries to stop Emily, while RJ throws her arms up like she's innocent.
Wavy Crockett: Get Candi back in the ring!
Ophelia slides out of the ring to bring Candi back in.

Ray Hudson: Widow distracting Candi!

Byron Brown: And the winners of this match... Robi Jean Mitchell and Ophelia "Widow" Blaque..... The Shieldmaidens!!!
All five Shieldmaidens celebrate in the ring.
Ray Hudson: These women dominate...
The cameras go backstage where Katrina Mack is sitting at her desk. The camera zooms back to show Azurine Vebbins and "Desert Rose" Anya sitting side by side, on the other end of the desk.
Katrina Mack: So my husband tells me that he has spoken with the two of you, and you are interested in coming together as a unit to face The Shieldmaidens next week at The Rise?
Both ladies look at each other, then back at Katrina, with a nod.
Katrina Mack: Sounds good to me. Because between me and you...
Katrina looks past the two superstars, at her door, then back at the Azurine and Anya.
Katrina Mack: He was originally talking about bringing that talking robot and her furry animal friend in as a surprise....
Both Anya and Azurine look confused.
Katrina Mack: I knew it'd be a better decision to give the opportunity to two superstars who've actually proven themselves to the Mile High Wrestling audience. You ladies are championship material.
"Desert Rose" Anya: Thank you, Katrina...
Azurine nods in agreement.
We fade to commercials.

Back from break, and the screen is black. The sound of a blade being rubbed against a wet stone breaks through the darkness. Slowly we fade in to see a large Bowie knife blade sliding back down a wet stone. As the tip slides off the stone the blade flips over and begins another stroke down the stone. We go wider and wider until we see the body of a large man. His head is down and his long, stringy black hair covers his face, masking his identity.
The man's wide shoulders are covered in a leather vest with his ragged t-shirt barely sticking out underneath. He sits on a wooden stump, and by the background it appears he is in the middle of the woods. As if sensing that someone is near and he is being watched, his hands stop. He drops the wet stone from his left hand and his right fist grips tight around the handle of the knife.
Without looking up, or even acknowledging the presence of anyone, he begins to speak.
Man: As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. The one who guards a fig tree will eat its fruit, and whoever protects their master will be honored. As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart. Death and destruction are never satisfied, and neither are human eyes...Proverbs twenty seven, verse seventeen to twenty. Many people say this reflects on how we are influenced by the people that you associate with, but I must disagree. I never had anyone to hang around with, frankly I never had anyone. If this is the true meaning then how does one become a man when he never knows a father? How does one avoid sticking a needle in his arm when they grow up watching their mother do it on a daily basis? The reason is because a man is not made by his surroundings, a man is made from the gravel in his belly, the iron of his will, the anger in his veins, the third eye in his mind, and the sheer determination to prove himself and make something of himself that fuels your body and soul with every breath that you take. I hunt not for sport, I hunt not for survival, I hunt not for trophies...I hunt for the pure fun of seeing the blood spill. I come not to this sport for money, fame, fans, or championships...I come for reasons that most men wouldn't understand...then again I am not most men. I have come to Mile High Wrestling for death and destruction. I have come to cause chaos, to spill blood, and to leave bodies broken. I am not a man on a mission, or a man with a goal...to quote Alfred, "some men just want to sit back and watch the world burn". I am one of those men and I want to watch the world burn. The fire that will engulf the world in flames starts here in Mile High Wrestling.
The man flips his head up, tossing the hair from his face revealing he is "The Lost Child" Solomon Cain. He stands slowly and looks deep into the camera.
Solomon Cain: I didn't start the fire, it was always burning since the world's been turning. I didn't start the fire...but I will throw gasoline on it and make it spread until everything and everyone is burnt.
The video package fades out, as the cameras are now backstage where Forge is still looking for "Pretty" Ricky Stanton, holding his steel chair.
Ray Hudson: Well, welcome back to the show.
Wavy Crockett: My dude still ain't found "Pretty" Ricky?
Deuce Holmes approaches Forge, who looks like he would like to smash Deuce himself with the steel chair.
Deuce Holmes: I come in peace...
Forge snarls at Deuce.
Forge: Where the hell is Ricky hiding?!
Deuce Holmes: I honestly don't even think he's still in the building, Trent. But what I do know... is that your match is next. So you need to get on out there for that....
Forge shakes his head, staring a hole through Deuce, before throwing the steel chair down and heading towards the Gorilla position.
Wavy Crockett: Let me find out Stanton ran! Haha.
Ray Hudson: That's what it sounds like.
Forge
vs
Ripley
vs
Ripley
The cameras return to the arena, as the roar of a motorcycle engine reverberates through the sound system while two spotlights situated on the stage glare straight ahead in the otherwise-dark arena like two giant headlights. As the grinding guitars and overpowering drums of Metallica's "Hardwired" start up, a tall figure steps out onto the stage, little more than a living shadow between the bright lights. He strides out to the ramp, the lights going up at this point to show Trenton "Forge" Mitchell standing at the apex. Slamming his taped right fist into his left palm, he pops his neck to one side, then the other, before heading down to the ring, the encroaching hands of the fans all but ignored.
Byron Brown: The following match is for one fall! Introducing first... weighing in at 253 pounds..... from Plant City, Florida....... Forge!!!
Pulling himself onto the apron via the middle rope, Forge turns to look out at the masses peppered with several swooning ladies, then steps fully into the ring. Ascending the turnbuckles, the tattooed powerhouse slides off his cut and holds it high in the air, gripped tightly in his fist... a show of pride toward his club. Dropping back down, he hands it to the attendant with a stern warning to take damn good care of it.
Ray Hudson: Well, Forge will finally go one on one with Ricky Stanton in one week, inside of a Steel Cage.
Wavy Crockett: It's gonna be awesome, Ray!
Leaning back against the turnbuckles, the stoic biker awaits the start of the match in silence.
Wavy Crockett: Forge is about to take all his frustrations out on the star of Silver Lake.
The lights in the arena go out and the sound effect of thunder echoes throughout the arena, as the entrance way and ring are illuminated in a neon blue light. "Redneck Stomp" by Obituary then hits.
Ray Hudson: Interesting match here, indeed. Ripley is the star of one of The SE Network's hottest shows; Silver Lake.
Wavy Crockett: Ripley and Ricky Stanton are pimp tight, Ray.
Ripley walks out onto the stage wearing a black hoodie with the hood up, black wrestling tights, and black boots. He turns around showing off a large white skull on the back of his hoodie, he faces forward and stands on the top of the entrance way and looks around the arena as the crowd erupts in cheers, with some scattered boos.
Byron Brown: And his opponent... weighing in at 240 pounds..... from Brooksville, Florida....... Ripley!!!
Ripley then starts walking towards the ring. As he does, he lets out a large scream of “Let’s Go!”.
Wavy Crockett: You better stop....
As he makes his way down the aisle to the ring, Ripley takes time to slap the hands of a few fans. Once he reaches the ring he stops and looks at it, then quickly walks up the steel steps and enters the ring.
Ray Hudson: It's always a pleasure to see Ripley in action, here in Mile High Wrestling.
In the ring, Ripley paces around, then climbs up in one of the corners of the ring to look out at all of the fans. He points to a few fans as the crowd continues to cheer. He then hops down unzipping his hoodie and tosses it to ringside, and walks to the center of the ring as his music fades out and the lights return to normal.
DING DING DING
Referee Regina Ball has called for the bell, and both superstars step to the middle of the ring.
Wavy Crockett: Here it goes, Ray.
Ripley puts his fist out for Forge to bump, and Forge looks at him stupid.
Wavy Crockett: Get outta here!!
Both superstars lock into a collar and elbow tie-up. Both men stand their ground.
Ray Hudson: Forge definitely not here to make friends.
Ripley gains a half step in the battle so Forge releases and lands a hard overhead chop to the spot he had tied up at.
Ray Hudson: Forge gaining control of this match.
Forge Irish whips Ripley, sending him for the ride into the ropes. They clash in the center of the ring, with both men landing clotheslines. Both men still stand!
Ray Hudson: Two strong men here!
Both men hit the ropes running and both men connect with a hard shoulder block! Both men still standing!
Wavy Crockett: Oh come on!
Both men point to opposite sides of the ring and hit the ropes running.
Ray Hudson: A lot of velocity across this ring!
On the run, Forge connects with a spinebuster which gets a big pop from the crowd.
Ray Hudson: Spinebuster!
Wavy Crockett: My man!
Instead of a lateral press, Forge takes full mount position and drops a heavy barrage of lefts and rights down onto Ripley.
Wavy Crockett: Time to make a muhfucka bleed! My favorite part of the week.
Ripley protects himself as best he can under the blows.
Ray Hudson: Last week it was Forge who was bleeding.
Wavy Crockett: Let Forge hear you say that...
Ripley takes wrist control with both hands and out of that is able to pull guard and finally apply a guillotine choke from his back.
Ray Hudson: Ripley gaining control here...
Ripley cranks the hold in deep with both men dead center of the ring.
Ray Hudson: Could this be it?
Wavy Crockett: Get real...
Somehow, someway, Forge is able to free his chin of the hold and lands a lunging headbutt as he does.
Wavy Crockett: Oh snap!
Ray Hudson: God damn!!!
The back of Ripley’s head connects with the canvas and under the impact of the submission and the strike, both men are on their backs, motionless. Our referee begins his ten-count.
Ray Hudson: Both superstars down!

Instinctively, both men react as the ref shouts: “TWO!!”

Both men make it up to their knees.

Ray Hudson: Forge gets to his feet.
Ripley is on his feet.
Ray Hudson: And Ripley's up!
Forge slams a boot into the gut of Ripley. Forge lifts Ripley into a bodyslam position and puts him down hard with a ring-shaking powerslam!
Wavy Crockett: BOOM!!!
Forge then stacks him up for a pin attempt!
Ray Hudson: What a powerslam!!!

Kickout!
Ripley kicks out hard and is quick to his feet.
Wavy Crockett: He should be dead after that!
Ripley swings hard and connects with a European uppercut. Forge is staggered but nowhere near down.
Ray Hudson: Ripley fighting back hard!
Forge comes back with a brutal belly to belly suplex.
Ray Hudson: Belly to belly suplex!
Forge backs into the ropes as Ripley moves to his feet. Forge connects, dropping Ripley hard with a Piston Kick!
Ray Hudson: Piston Kick!!!
Forge makes a pin attempt.
Wavy Crockett: It's over!

Wavy Crockett: What the hell?!!
Ripley again attempts to move to his feet and Forge helps him up with a wristlock.
Wavy Crockett: Finish this clown!
Ray Hudson: Where do you get off calling this man a clown?
Forge sends Ripley for the ride, and as he bounces back into the center of the ring, Forge simply crushes Ripley with the Chrome Bomb!
Wavy Crockett: Chrome Bomb!!!
Forge goes for the pin.
Wavy Crockett: Now it's over!

Somehow Ripley kicks out. And somehow both men move back to their feet. Forge connects with a lunging headbutt!

Forge moves to his feet faster than Ripley expected and is able to connect with a stiff boot to the gut, which he followed with a lifting DDT!
Ray Hudson: DDT to Ripley!
With the crowd on their feet, Forge hooks the leg with a lateral press!

The rest of the capacity crowd stands to their feet as Ripley kicks out yet again!
Wavy Crockett: Bust that man open!!
The second he is completely vertical, Forge violently kicks him in the gut and hits Ripley with a sit-out powerbomb! The ring seems to bounce on it’s cornerposts as they land! Forge points down at the mat demanding that the ref count it!

...
Kickout!!
Wavy Crockett: This is getting ridiculous!!
Forge smacks the mat three times fast and hard in frustration. He moves to his feet, quickly followed by Ripley.
Ray Hudson: The star of Silver Lake is still in it!
Forge sends another lunging headbutt into Ripley.
Wavy Crockett: Done!
Forge mounts Ripley and starts repeatedly driving his forearm into Ripley's skull, holding the back of his head for leverage.
Ray Hudson: The Martyr Machine is fed up!
Ripley is now visibly bleeding.
Wavy Crockett: There we go!!!
The referee talks Forge off of Ripley, but Forge gets back on him for the pin.

Wavy Crockett: The end...
"Hardwired" by Metallica begins playing, as Forge pushes off Ripley.
DING DING DING
Byron Brown: And the winner of this match... Forge!!!
Forge stands on his feet, looking around at the Magness Arena. While there are the boos that Forge would expect, there's still many cheers in the crowd.
Wavy Crockett: I hope you're watching, "Pretty" Ricky!
The cameras go backstage where Jordan Hagan is standing by with Emily Falls.
Jordan Hagan: I am currently standing here with the one and only Emily Falls.
Emily looks as giddy as she can look, while still out of breath from earlier.
Jordan Hagan: What a match earlier tonight. Can you tell us what is up with this new alliance between you and Candi?
Emily Falls: I am so happy to be best friends with the Mile High Wrestling Champion. And we will be friends forever and ever!!
Jordan Hagan: Interesting.... And why do you think she chose you?
Emily Falls: I have no clue!
Jordan Hagan: Well, you two didn't come out victorious tonight. Do you think she'll still want to team with you?
Emily Falls: I sure hope so. But no matter what she does, I will still be friends with her.
Jordan Hagan seems lost.
Jordan Hagan: Thank you, Emily...
Jordan waits for Emily to exit, but she just stands there smiling.
Emily Falls: And you know what else, Mr. Jordan? Tonight... I'm gonna challenge Robi to a match at The Rise In Phoenix.
Jordan Hagan: Cool.
Emily just stares at Jordan smiling, until he awkwardly walks away, as we fade to commercials.

We are back from commercials, as "Diamond Teeth Samarai" by YoungBoy Never Broke Again begins playing throughout the arena.
Ray Hudson: Welcome back, fans!
Robert Mack steps from behind the curtains with Co-General Manager Katrina Mack, followed by Co-General Manager Deuce Holmes and his fiance Lavinia. The crowd cheers.
Ray Hudson: Here comes the corporate folks of Mile High.
They all four walk down the ramp and into the ring, where Robert Mack requests a mic, and is given one from the outside by Byron Brown.
Wavy Crockett: What you think they bout to talk about, Ray?
Ray Hudson: Looks like we're about to find out.
The music fades as Robert puts the mic to his mouth.
Robert Mack: The Rise In Phoenix.
The fans cheer, loudly.
Robert Mack: Sorry Denver, but we're going to have to leave you for a week...
Some boos seep through those cheers, as Robert smirks.
Robert Mack: Nonetheless, it's going to be a night to remember. As spoken about on the Coke Mountain radio show, The Rise In Phoenix already has a different atmosphere that separates it from everything else. And that's how a Pay-Per View should be...
Robert bumps fists with Deuce Holmes.
Wavy Crockett: Hell yeah!
Robert Mack: Now it's just up to the superstars to capitalize. And I know they will!
Robert nods his head, stroking his chin.
Robert Mack: Because it's put up or shut up when Candi Bratton defends her Mile High Wrestling Championship for the very first time. And while I was being blamed for just simply "handpicking" Skrabz for the title shot.....if you haven't already, you'll see exactly why Skrabz is the number one contender, next week.
Everyone in the ring nods their heads.
Robert Mack: We will see The CEO of Stanton Enterprises stepping into the ring with arguably our deadliest wrestler; Forge. Even more exciting, they will brawl inside of the 15 foot Steel Cage!!!
The fans cheers grow loud.
Wavy Crockett: And Forge is going to murder "Pretty" Ricky!
Ray Hudson: You must have never seen Ricky Stanton in action..
Robert Mack: We will crown our very first Phoenix Champion and Tag Team Champions. It's just gonna be an amazing night.
Robert shrugs with a smirk, before turning very serious.
Ray Hudson: I can't wait...
Robert Mack: But let's talk about that good ol' HcW, shall we?
The fans boo.
Robert Mack: You see, Tyke... you can deny that you were in on the attack last week all you want, but at the end of the day.....it's all tuna fishy. You see, you go around talking about how you represent both HcW and Mile High Wrestling, but the simple truth is...... you've still yet to sign a contract to join our active roster.
The fans boo even more.
Robert Mack: But boy did you sign that contract for this Tag Team Match coming up, quicker than a virgin having sex. You represent HcW. And sure....I don't hate HcW. Hell, I don't even hate Lance Mikes. But I surely don't respect him. And when a man comes on my show and sneak attacks me, I bite back. And I did just that a couple nights ago on y'all show.
Robert looks back at Deuce and nods, as Deuce nods back.
Robert Mack: But that's not enough. And at The Rise In Phoenix, me and my boy Deuce are gonna fuck you two bitches up. And when we're done, and you get all cleaned and stitched up, I still got a contract waiting on you, Tyke.
Robert smirks into the camera.
Robert Mack: Because even though you still ride with the weakest link, I can't deny your talent. And believe me, it disappoints me everytime I think about the fact that you're just wasting your talents on that sinking ship.
Robert throws his right hand up, shaking it.
Robert Mack: And no disrespect to Biff Franklin, because quite frankly he is something special. I have nothing but respect for him. HcW was dead before he arrived. And he's been fighting hard to keep it floating. And I meant it when I told him that if he needed anything, I'd be there for him. But the truth is the truth, and we can't hide that.
Robert puts up his pointer finger.
Robert Mack: Lance Mikes is a cancer. And that's your best friend, Tyke. Not me. Not Samantha Hamilton. Lance Mikes is your best friend. And at The Rise In Phoenix....just like the company you two represent......you're gonna sink and drown...
Robert looks deep into the camera with the coldest stare.
Wavy Crockett: Damn...
Ray Hudson: Wow...
Robert Mack: See you next Wednesday, boys.
"Diamond Teeth Samarai" by YoungBoy Never Broke Again begins playing again, as Robert starts to exit the ring. Deuce stops him, and starts saying something in his ear.
Robert nods, and steps back to the middle of the ring, as his music fades away.
Robert Mack: Oh....one more thing. It won't be Robert Mack you are stepping into the ring with, next Wednesday. I'm coming just as I came to Hell a couple nights ago. I'm coming as Snakebite.
The fans cheer, as the lights go out except one dim spotlight on Robert Mack. He holds up one finger.
Robert Mack: One. Last. Time.
The lights go pitch black, as we fade to commercials.
