<p>Card for Army of One Week 1 December 2019</p><p> </p><p>

Opening Match: <strong>Charity Sweet & Ariel Breaks </strong>vs High Society (Jaguar Queen & Maribel Mercado). <strong>You keep saying Queenie is going to get a win and this could be it. But I’ll go with Breaks and Charity</strong></p><p>

Match 2: Lora Washington vs <strong>Killer Kass</strong>. <strong>I can’t seem to pick against Kass</strong></p><p>

<strong>I like Zoe but it feels like to me that Jarvis is building big momentum for maybe a title shot </strong></p><p>

Main Event: <strong>Birds of Prey (Higa & Oonishi)</strong> vs Guerreros Azteca (Rojo & Huracán) <strong>should be a real good match</strong></p>

<b>Army of One Week 1 December 2019

The Ranch of San Antonio in front of 7,674 people</b>

<b>Pre-show match 1: Águila Azul Celeste vs Jessi Crash /w Freddie Datsun</b>

Commissioner Datsun was ringside with his daughter, providing encouragement and a distraction that nearly cost Águila Azul Celeste the win, but the Blue Eagle kicks out and mounts a comeback that ends with an Águila Press and a 3-count.

<b>Águila Azul Celeste wins by pinfall in 9:38

Match Rating: D (42)</b>

<b>Pre-show match 2: Maria Guest & Bessie Psycho vs Etsuko Arihyoshi & Lucy Trigg</b>

The match mostly focuses on the low simmering rivalry between Guest and Arihyoshi, but it is Bessie Psycho that gets the win after hitting Lucy Trigg with the Bear Fist (her trademark choke slam).

<b>Bessie Psycho wins by pinfall in 8:59

Match Rating: C- (53)</b>

 

<img src="
alt="Pamela Rojo" /> <img src="
alt="Juana Huracán" /> 

Pamela Rojo and Juana Huracán come out to open the show, to predictable booing. In response, they start off by insulting the fans. “Texas fans are just the worst. You boo us because all you can appreciate is crude and simple. Your appreciation for wrestling, lucha libre, is like your depraved appreciation for Mexican food. It was you people that decided that the refined flavors needed to be drowned in melted cheese. Turned something beautiful into _tex-mex_. You are as tasteless and disgusting as the food you prop your mouths full of.” Pamela Rojo spits out the words with disgust.

 

“But enough about you, because we have far better things to talk about. Let’s talk about us. We are the premier tag team in the world, but for too long, we’ve been side stepped, short changed, _discriminated_ against. But no more.” Rojo points down to the announce table. “Farrah Hesketh, it is time to pay respect to the Jaguar Clan! Or show your true colors and prove that you’re not the fair GM you claim to be, that you hold those bubblegum bimbos around their backs.”

 

With memory of Hannah Potter’s disappearance in fresh memory, there is a menacing aura about Rojo and Huracán, and even Grace Harper makes a token effort to stop Farrah from getting in the ring, but though she can’t entirely hide being intimidated, she gets out from behind the announce table and steps into the ring.

 

Juana Huracán looks at Hesketh as she stands there, waiting for their next move. “At least you’re brave. Disrespecting us the way you have, and yet you step in the ring with us. So maybe we will be magnanimous, and let bygones be bygones. That is, if you make a sincere apology for how you have treated the Jaguar Clan.” Huracán looks expectantly at Farrah Hesketh who looks puzzled, but eventually she speaks, slowly as if weighing each word carefully.

 

<img src="
alt="Farrah Hesketh" /> 

“I have never meant any disrespect to the Jaguar Clan or Guerreras Azteca. But I have never done you any injustice. If you haven’t had the success you hoped for, it’s on you, not me.”

 

Farrah is about to say something more, but before she can get another word out, Huracán backhands her, and Farrah collapses.

 

“That is exactly the disrespect I was talking about,” Juana snarls. “You’re in the presence of lucha libre royalty, and you don’t even recognizes it. Well, we have broken one general manager, we can break another one.”

 

<img src="
alt="Higa" /> <img src="
alt="Gemmei Oonishi" /> 

Juana grabs hold of Farrah by the hair and start dragging her to her feet, when music hits, the lights in the arena flickers, and suddenly Higa and Gemmei Oonishi are poised on two turnbuckles. Oonishi dropkicks Pamela Rojo into the opposite turnbuckle, while Higa hits Juana Huracan with a flying Higa Green Driver, planting Huracán face first in the mat.

 

While Gemmei checks up on Farrah Hesketh, Higa is worked up and goes to town alternately on Rojo and Huracán, until they retreat out of the ring.

 

Slowly getting back to her feet, Farrah Hesketh brushes herself off and grabs a microphone and turns to Huracán and Rojo who’s backed off from the ring, nursing necks and heads from the beatdown.

 

“Before you decided to attack the one that holds your fate in her hand, I was about to say you had made a strong argument in the ring for a title match. You don’t deserve to be given chances. But since the alternative would be endless accusations of favoritism, I’m gonna give you one anyway. Tonight, the main event will be Guerreros Azteca against the Birds of Prey, with the winner challenging Bubblegum Brawlers next week for the tag team championship.”

<b>Opening Match: Charity Sweet & Ariel Breaks vs High Society (Jaguar Queen & Maribel Mercado)</b>

In an open match that could have gone either way, Charity Sweet and Maribel Mercado puts on a good high flying show. In the end, Breaks hits Jaguar Queen with the Ariel Spiral and gets the 3-count.

<b>Ariel Breaks wins by pinfall in 10:51

Cut to backstage. Zoe Ammis is bossing around a seamstress about the cut of an extravagant entrance outfit when Jillian Jarvis enters the room. Their eyes meet and sparks start to fly. Like being caught between two gunmen at high noon, the seamstress dashes out of the way, making herself scarce.

 

Jarvis, not one for long conversations grabs Ammis by the throat and pushes her up against the wall. “I had the match in the bag. You cost us those titles, idiot.”

 

Zoe struggles to breath, much less to speak, and while she struggles to get out of Jarvis grip, it’s largely ineffectual against the grip Jarvis has on her.

 

<img src="
alt="Alina America" /> 

Suddenly, Jarvis is chopped down from behind and thrown into a row of lockers. The camera pans around and we see an an angry looking Alina America. Jarvis tries to fight back, but then she’s knocked over by Ammis instead.

 

“You think I’m some rookie you can push around? That I don’t know how to navigate this locker room? You’re not the only one here with allies. Did you forget about the Wrecking Crew?” She points to herself and Alina. “And you think I’m the idiot?” Jarvis just growls back and tries to fight them both, it’s a losing battle, but before they’re separated, she has gotten a good chunk of Alina’s ear, just in time for security staff to rush in and break them up.

 

As Jarvis is dragged away, seemingly eager to continue a fight she was clearly losing, Alina is clutching the side of her face in pain, feels something wet and looks at the blood on fingers with a horrified look on her face. “The crazy bitch bit me!”

<b>Alfonso Garcia:</b> Jarvis and Ammis will have to sort out that argument in the ring later tonight in the semi-main event.

 

<b>Grace Harper:</b> I will confess, sometimes Farrah do good things. It’s a match I have dreamt of seeing for the longest time. I just hope Ronin 3 and Alina America can stay out of it long enough for the two to fight it out on their own.

 

<b>Farrah Hesketh: </b>Amber Allen and Brooke Tyler should not be in the building tonight, and I have strongly advised Alina America to stay out of it if she has any ambitions of her own in the near future. I hope she takes that advice to heart.

 

<b>Alfonso: </b>Up next, Lora Washington and Killer Kass go one on one. Last week, Kass extended an invitation to Lora to join Bad Girls Inc, but I can’t be the only one thinking that’s a bad match.

 

<b>Grace: </b>Maybe she’d learn to show a little attitude. It’d be good for her.

<b>Match 2: Lora Washington vs Killer Kass /w Dharma Gregg</b>

As one would expect, the focus of the match for Lora becomes how to overcome the difference in both size and power between the two, and for a long while, it looks like it’s going to be a simple beatdown, but showing her resilience, Lora never gives up, and as Kass slows down, Lora finds her second wind and starts to take over with her mobility - that is, until Dharma Gregg trips her. As she gets up, Kass hits her with a big lariat, and follows it up with the Kill Switch, and it’s all over.

<b>Killer Kass wins by pinfall in 15:54

Match Rating: C (63)</b>

 

<img src="
alt="Foxxy LaRue" /> <img src="
alt="Farrah Hesketh" /> 

Foxxy LaRue comes out to the ring, grabs a microphone, brushes off the audience and addresses Farrah Hesketh.

 

“You know, as well as anyone that I was <i>robbed</i> of my World title last week. <i>I</i> had Chitose Ariwara beat. When Capitano got the three count it was on the back of my effort. Give me my re-match, one on one and let me show the world what a fraud the twerp is.”

 

Farrah, wise from earlier, stands up but does not leave the announce table. “Capitano is <i>hospitalized</i> after her fall last week. She’s in no condition to face you in a match before Naughty and Nice, and the main event there is pencilled in as a four way for the World title. You know that. That was decided before Capitano won the title, you know that. The question is if she’s able to defend the title then or not.”

 

“It’s not my problem if she’s not fit to fight is it? If she can’t give the past champion a rematch in due time, it’s time to vacate!”

 

“You can’t seriously expect her to…”

 

She’s interrupted by a familiar blast of music:

 

 

<img src="
title="Capitano" /><img src="
alt="World Champion" />

Capitano comes out, doing her best to hide a limp, but both her head, shoulder and knee are heavily bandaged up. Despite her bad shape, she’s obviously in high spirit and it transmits to the fans as well. With title belt over her shoulder, she steps into the ring.

 

“You want a rematch? You think this is the time to take me on, when I’m hurt?” Capitano laughs. “Well, if that’s what you want, I’m right here. I’m not backing down from a challenge.” Capitano says, getting into Foxxy’s face.

 

Foxxy looks a bit uncomfortable with Capitano in her personal space. She hesitates a bit before gently pushing Capitano away. “I’m sure you would like that. Being able to take the honorable loss. ‘Oh, I was injured, of course I lost to Foxxy, I’m so brave, I fight hurt, wah wah’.”

 

She turns to Farrah again. “Book your damn four way match then. But who else does your feeble mind think deserve a shot at the title? It’s me, I guess Capitano has to be in the match, but who else?”

 

“I promised Chitose a one on one match. This is a 4-way, but I think she belongs…” Capitano interjects

 

“That is true, but she also got pinned in the last World title match,” Farrah says, thinking aloud.

 

<img src="
alt="Chitose Ariwara" /> 

On cue, Chitose walks out from backstage. She stops at the top of the ramp, microphone in hand.

 

“While I appreciate the generous offer, I believe you have to earn your second chances. I was pinned fairly in that match. I got my opportunity, I can’t ask for more. I will come back and claim another shot at the title when I feel I have deserved it. For now, I need to focus my energy on becoming stronger. Good luck Capitano. It can be lonely at the top.”

 

<img src="
alt="Alina America" /> 

Chitose turns to leave the ramp, but halfway off stage she meets Alina America, side of her face bandaged up. She angrily grabs the microphone from Chitose.

 

“That’s right, leave room on stage for the elite.” She turns to Farrah. “I assume you had a spot in mind for me in that match? Foxxy is not the only one here that want’s to cut that two-faced bitch down to size.”

 

<img src="
alt="Killer Kass" /> <img src="
alt="Dharma Gregg" /> 

Before Farrah has a chance to answer, Killer Kass and Dharma Gregg come out behind her.

 

“Before you do anything rash,” Dharma says, “need I remind you of Killer Kass’ convincing victory today? She deserves to be in the Christmas Tree Battle as much as anyone.”

 

Farrah’s eyes narrow. “What I do remember from that win is your involvement in it, Dharma. I don’t know if it was *that* convincing. But let’s do this. Next week, Alina America, Killer Kass, and Lora Washington face off in a 3-way match for one of the spots in the Christmas Tree Battle. And next week, I will announce a qualifier for the final spot.”

<b>Match 3: Jillian Jarvis vs Zoe Ammis</b>

A little bit of Zoe Ammis’ swagger is gone as the two step in the ring together. Jarvis looks even more feral than usual. As they’re being presented, her patience runs out and she jumps Ammis before the bell has even rung. Brand new referee Francis Long looks uncertain what to do, but in the end calls for the match to be started. Initially, Zoe is overwhelmed by the all out aggression, but they have faced off before and Zoe knows how to handle Jillian. She rolls out of the ring to get some distance between them, but this time Jarvis is relentless and goes after her.

 

It’s not a one-sided brawl though, even if Jarvis clearly is the aggressive part. Instead, it’s like they take turns rolling into the ring to break ten counts, then go back out to continue fighting. That is until Zoe tries to throw Jarvis through the announce table but has it reversed into a DDT. In her state of rage, Jarvis grabs a tv monitor and bashes against Ammis head. Zoe does her best to defend herself, but Jarvis does not stop until Francis Long calls for the bell and throws himself between the two, trying to tear the monitor out of Jarvis hands, but gets a swing of it himself from Jarvis. Only a swarm of security staff is able to subdue Jarvis.

<b>Zoe Ammis wins by DQ in 6:57

<b>Main Event: Birds of Prey vs Guerreros Azteca /w Jaguar Queen</b>

The two teams put on a fast paced match where Birds of Prey show a bit of attitude not usually seen from the Japanese ninjas, but at one point Higa crosses the line, clearly breaking the rules ignoring Juana Huracán’s rope break, but it doesn’t serve them very well, because while the referee is busy stopping Higa, Pamela Rojo and Jaguar Queen goes to town on Gemmei.

Later in the match the pattern repeats. Oonishi and Rojo are the active wrestlers but the fighting has spilled to the outside and everybody’s been involved. Higa has managed to position Huracán her back, on the announce table. She climbs the closest turnbuckle and does a shooting star press, landing square on Huraqán, crushing the announce table under them. Both are out of it, and while they’re not the active wrestlers, referee Francis Long feel he has to check on if they’re ok. As soon as he has his back turned, Jaguar Queen and Rojo teams up on Oonishi with a chair. It doesn’t take long, and when Long turns his attention back to the ring, Rojo has Oonishi scooped up for her Running Powerbomb. Higa slides into the ring just in time to see the three count.

<b>Pamela Rojo wins by pinfall in 21:18

Match Rating: B- (76)</b>

 

 

While Guerreros Azteca celebrate in the ring, we cut to backstage, in the gym. To a strong hip hop beat, we see a sweating Killer Kass making squats with an impressive amount of weight on the barbell resting on her shoulders.

 

<img src="
alt="Killer Kass" /> <img src="
alt="Foxxy LaRue" /> 

The camera pans around to the other end of the room where Foxxy LaRue is letting loose on a sandbag, releasing her whole arsenal of kicks, elbows and forearms, and it’s like she’s working herself up, and suddenly a vision of Capitano flashes before her eyes where the sandbag used to be, and the next kick is so hard, the bolts in the ceiling holding the sandbag in place rips right out. The music stops, LaRue looks surprised at the sandbag, and there’s a feeling like whatever spell gave her the strength break the sandbag is gone.

 

<img src="
title="Freddie Datsun" />

Then she looks up, and commissioner Freddie Datsun is standing by the sound system, having turned off the music. “Impressive. Or maybe an indication we need to upgrade the gym. I’d like to talk to you...both of you. Come see me in my office, please. I have... a proposition.”

If I had done event reports for the shows leading up to Scars and Stripes, maybe it would have felt *a little* less out of left field. Not because Capitano would have seemed particularly strong, but because how clear it was that Foxxy was not taking Capitano at all seriously as a title threat. It’s dangerous to underestimate your opponent. But Capitano is <em>meant </em>to be a shock winner. </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="MrWolf101" data-cite="MrWolf101" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42699" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I'm surprised to see Chitose has fallen from main event to upper midcard, but like you said, those things are always fluid. As for Yuki, I think you've explained this before, but how the hell did she get so popular? I guess WWE should start recruiting pop stars. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> For some reason the game just does not appreciate Chitose. She puts on some of the absoulte best matches in the company (especially now that Paige Croft isn’t around anymore). Even when she was world champion with the highest pop in our home region, the game auto-pushed her to upper midcard. As for Yuki, she was pregenerated with 40 pop in every US region. My in-game explanation is just that - she had a promising pop music career brewing, found a sizeable fan base before she decided it was not for her. And now she’s followed by throngs of teenage boys and girls.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>What other storylines would you like to see focus on? The nature of QAW means promo time is limited, so a main and a secondary storyline is just about what there is time to focus on at one time, but some development for other wrestlers always happen.

I think you know what's going on in QAW better than I do. The transition from the month summaries meant we missed out on the intros for some of the newer wrestlers, so maybe some more establishment of their characters is in order if you have plans for them in the near-term. As I said previously, I'd have thought Charity would be further along by now, but performance always dictates push, so I imagine she's where she should be based on that.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> That is a good point. I’ll keep that in mind. Right now, the new wrestlers on the undercard aren’t going to get much airtime, they are promising but not likely to get involved much in storylines soon. Main eventers like Lora Washington, Yuki Moore and commissioner Freddie Datsun on the other hand are more likely to play prominent parts. </p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="font-size:12px;">Results for Army of One Week 1 December</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></strong></p><p> Opening Match: <strong>Charity Sweet & Ariel Breaks</strong> vs High Society (Jaguar Queen & Maribel Mercado)</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="MrWolf101" data-cite="MrWolf101" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42699" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>It's a new day in QAW, but that doesn't mean I can bring myself to pick Jaguar Queen to win a match.

In the QAW Universe, I bet there are people bemoaning the lack of push for certain fan favorites, and even though Ammis quite recently joined QAW again, I think she is fast joining that group. Imagine joshi fans following Fuyuko Higa’s career, and a year and a half in QAW and she still hasn’t won a singles title. Brooke Tyler, a NOTBPW women’s champion, not getting a lick of the world title. Killer Kass, same thing.

Damn. Your in-game world is getting crazy. Either Foxxy got a different destiny roll in your universe or the work you've done with her in QAW has taken her to a whole other level.

 

- Victoria Stone-McFly and Sean McFly has handed in their divorce papers.

 

I know it's never funny to laugh at divorce, but reading about this one made me chuckle anyway. I'm sure your Victoria is much different, but I still had to picture her throwing all of Sean's stuff onto their mansion lawn.

 

I think you made the right call splitting these two shows into separate posts. That cliffhanger at the end would have me tune in the next week if this was a real TV show.

 

Opening Match: ??? vs Maribel Mercado Shockwave top contender match

Comments: I don't think my pick of opponent is correct, but I whoever it is will probably be primed for a longer-term feud with Claire.

Match 2: Lora Washington vs Alina America vs Killer Kass Christmas Tree Battle qualifier

Comments: The angle with Datsun at the end of the last show makes me think there has to be some payoff with Kass winning here. If Kass and Foxxy are teaming up, it would make them almost unstoppable in the ladder match.

Match 3: Yuki Moore & Birds of Prey vs Ronin 3 © Shockwave Trios title match

Comments: Yuki is a pretty cool character with that backstory and I think you've got a future star there. That said, it seems like Ronin 3 will retain here. Maybe this is where Datsun's alliance comes into play?

Main Event: Bubblegum Brawlers © vs Guerreros Azteca Tag Team title match

Comments: Damn. I really don't know on this one. After last week's show, I could see Guerreros Azteca taking this, but I just can't pick against Perez. Something weird might happen here though to force a rematch.

 

Bonus Questions:

 

- How many title changes will there be? Got to go with zero, but not confident.

- Who is Maribel Mercado’s opponent in the Shockwave Top Contender match? Well, my original pick was Higa, but she's booked for a match. Chitose makes the most sense then, but I don't want to steal that pick since I wouldn't have thought of that without the help of Theheel, so let's says Amber Allen (though if it's Talia that would be AMAZING!).

Opening Match: ??? vs Maribel Mercado Shockwave top contender match

Comments: Always bet on ??? :cool: In all honestly, it's a great way to introduce a new player on the scene. You can have them win their first match and it's for a decently important thing, but it's not for a belt on their very first night in the fed. You can have them lose (or win via DQ or count-out) the next match, but with the introductory win, you establish they're a legitimate addition to the roster.

 

Match 2: Lora Washington vs Alina America vs Killer Kass Christmas Tree Battle qualifier

Comments: It's really, really hard not to pick Kass, even against a relatively new and probably fairly popular USPW cast-off. I won't be surprised if Washington wins. I would be surprised if America doesn't take the pin, though.

 

Match 3: Yuki Moore & Birds of Prey vs Ronin 3 © Shockwave Trios title match

Comments: Ronin 3 has been the defining, dominant trio in QAW. By all reasonable accounts, this should be no different. But I think there's benefits to switching things up, and the Birds of Prey are legit. The set-up would seem perfect for Yuki to eat the pin, but I think someone who isn't Jillian Jarvis in Ronin 3 will make just one tiny mistake to lose the belts. I'd stay about a mile away from the kayfabe Jarvis if that does happen.

 

Main Event: Bubblegum Brawlers © vs Guerreros Azteca Tag Team title match

Comments: They survived the towel match. It'd be a shame for them to have done that and then drop the belts here. I won't be shocked if the drop the belts, but I think there's good reasons to keep it on them.

 

Bonus Questions:

 

- How many title changes will there be?

Comments: There'll be 1 title change.

 

- Who is Maribel Mercado’s opponent in the Shockwave Top Contender match?

Comments: I'm going to with Wolf's unchosen selection and go with Talia Quinzel.

Bessie Psycho doesn’t have the best night, making a couple botches that make the flow of the match a bit awkward, but Purple Viper is determined not to let a rookie spoil the match and puts on a stellar performance, pre-show or not.

<b>Dark Match 2: Águila Azul Celeste & Lily Snyder vs Lucy Trigg & Jessi Crash /w Freddie Datsun</b></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

It’s not by any stretch of imagination a close match, even if Datsun does his best to help Jessi with the timely distraction. Águila Azul Celeste hits Lucy Trigg with the Águila Press to win the match. General consensus is unfortunately that Jessi Crash is the one out of the rookies that is showing the least in terms of improvement. It’s early yet, but it would be in line with past QAW to go all in on the one rookie that quickly start looking like a dud.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“You’re looking for a challenger? I’m right here, Claire,” Maribel says, entering the ring. She turns to the announce table. “Farrah, I think it’s time you gave me some credit for my work in this company. I won’t make threats like other members of the Jaguar Clan, but you have made this princess of lucha libre *toil*, just for a title match. It’s beneath me, and treating someone like me this way should be beneath you.”</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Farrah stands up, giving Maribel a wary look, but is about to answer when music interrupts her.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Chitose Ariwara makes her entrance, and enters the ring next to Maribel who gives her a glaring look. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Sorry to interrupt, Maribel” she says, giving a nod to Farrah to indicate who she’s actually talking to, but from then on, she addresses the fans, like she has done so many times before.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Two weeks ago, I came up short when it mattered the most. I have been knocked down before, and with the support of my fans, I’ve always gotten up again, and I will do that this time as well.”</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

She paces around the ring. “I’ve had some time to think since last week. I think I need to get back to what works. Refocus. The first time I tasted success in QAW was when I got to hold that Shockwave title,” she says, pointing to the title hanging over Claire Winters’ shoulder. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“It’s where I cut my teeth, learned what it took to be on top in QAW and stay there. I don’t know if Claire fully appreciates how hard that is.” Claire gives her a glare but does not say anything.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

She turns back to Farrah. “If it’s not too much to ask, I’d like to throw my proverbial hat in the ring as well.”</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Farrah nods. “A Shockwave title match next week sounds good. Let’s have a top contender match right now, and decide who gets to face the champion next week.”</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Maribel makes a gesture like she’s asking the gods what she’s done to deserve this. Claire shrugs, steps out of the ring and sits down next to the announce table to study her future opponent.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Opening Match: Chitose Ariwara vs Maribel Mercado Shockwave top contender match</b></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Credit to Maribel for going into a match with gusto against an opponent nobody would believe her to have a chance against. Together they put on a high flying show that gets the show off to a good start. In the end, just when Maribel think she has a chance, Chitose hits the Victory Roll, and it’s match over.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

With the match over, Chitose Ariwara offers a distraught Maribel a handshake. Maribel looks surprised at the gesture, hesitates, but with an embarrased look rejects the gesture of sportsmanship and rolls out of the ring.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The ring is cleared, and Capitano come out to the ring. She’s still bandaged up and in civilian clothes, but she’s moving more unhindered now. Having not really had an opportunity before, she takes the time to celebrate, gets the crowd worked up, until Foxxy LaRue come out to put a damper on the festivities. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Celebrate while you can, Cap. This is the peak. From here on, it’s all downhill, and steep.” Foxxy steps right up to Capitano. “In fact, why did you even choose to walk down this path? You must understand it will only lead to misery.”</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Capitano stares right back at her, or up, rather. LaRue is nearly a head taller than Capitano.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Why? Is that so hard to understand? I idolized you, Foxxy. When we formed Bad Girls Club, I was over the moon that you would team up with a rookie like me. I looked at what you did, and I soaked it up. Good, bad, you were my role model. When you left the club I felt abandoned and betrayed. But like I had done before, I looked at your life choices, and eventually I understood. You were right. We were not “rebels”, we were the bad guys. You had realized that, long before I did.” Capitano says, her voice trembling with conviction. “You lead me on to my road to redemption. To where I am today. That’s why I had to reach out to you when I felt you had lost your way. You’re better than this, Foxxy.”</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Foxxy looks quite uncomfortable at Capitano suddenly pouring her heart out instead of giving her back the usual come backs. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“You think you understand me, but you’ve never walked in my shoes. If you’re wise, you get off your high horses before I knock you off them. The fall will be hard.”</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Capitano laughs. “You know me, Foxxy. I’m not afraid of heights. I like playing with fire. But what about you? I’ve already told you, I’m ready to go. If you want your title match, I’m right here.” </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Foxxy looks at her with a calculating look. “Now?” </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Capitano shrugs. “Sure. Why not? Don’t you think these fans want to see a World title match?”</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The audience predictably agrees, loudly. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Foxxy acknowledges the reaction with a glance, hesitates for a moment before her body tenses up like a coil about to spring. The elbow toward Capitano’s head stops inches before hitting its target. She smirks, and steps back.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Not today. Rest up little champ. Come Christmas, I’ll be there to take that belt back. Today, I I’m just here to see who my competition is.” </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

With that, she steps out of the ring and down to a waiting chair by the announce table. After giving her a long look, Capitano follows suit and sits down on the other side of the announce team.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Match 2: Lora Washington vs Alina America vs Killer Kass Christmas Tree Battle qualifier</b></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

As one would expect, the threeway quickly get chaotic with alliances being broken almost as soon as they are formed, momentum only lasts for as long as it takes for the third part to recover from the last big blow. That lasts until Alina America is knocked out of the ring by Lora Washington, who in turn is blindsided by a lariat from Killer Kass, followed up by a devastating Killswitch. Alina America has landed right in front of the announce desk, which prompts LaRue to spring into action. When Alina gets up to hurry back to break up Kass pin attempt, she finds herself firmly held in a waist lock by LaRue in what looks like a crucial interference in Killer Kass’ favor. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Kass is pinning Lora, but referee Erin Lawrence has turned her attention to the interference outside the ring. Foxxy yells at her to count, but Lawrence wants her to stop interfering. At the same time, Capitano climbs up the announce table, and start working the crowd, asking them if she should get involved or not. As the answer is a resounding yes, she moonsaults, crashing into LaRue and America, and they all land in a big pile. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Now Lawrence turns back to Lora and Kass and start counting, but Lora has had time to recover and kicks out. Lawrence tells Foxxy and Capitano to get the hell out, and escorted by security staff, the make their exit.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Killer Kass has, equally annoyed, gotten up to argue the call, and does not notice that as Foxxy and Capitano leaves the arena, a hooded figure slips into the ring with a chair in hand. The hood falls back, revealing Zoe Ammis, just as she taps Kass on the shoulder. Kass turns around, only to be hit straight in the face with the chair. Lawrence turns to eject Ammis as well, but she peacefully leaves the ring while Alina America drags Lora Washington to her feet, hits her with the Southern Light Bomb, and as Kass is out like a light, there is nobody there to stop the three-count. As soon as the match is over, Zoe returns to the ring, and together they celebrate Alina's victory, being obnoxious and completely oblivious to the booing from the crowd.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The camera cuts briefly to on of the VIP boxes overlooking the ring. It's hard to read Freddie Datsun's expression, but it's quite clear he's not happy with the outcome of the match. He turns to Jessi Crash by his side. "This is no good. Tell general manager Hesketh to see me in my office after the show. We have things to discuss."</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Match 3: Yuki Moore & Birds of Prey vs Ronin 3 © Shockwave Trios title match</b></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The match follows a certain pattern - Yuki or Gemmei gets in the ring, puts on a couple of high energy moves, then gets beaten down and isolated until Higa comes in and cleans the ring. When she even make Jillian Jarvis retreat out of the ring with a super kick, it looks like her team could pull it off, but the disappointment is visible on her face when Gemmei seems to get caught in the moment and makes a critical error of judgement, choosing to throw herself into another exchange with Amber Allen when she was really running on little more than fumes and adrenaline. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Instead, she gets stuck in enemy territory, and Ronin 3 goes for the kill. Jillian Jarvis and Amber Allen knocks Yuki Moore and Higa off the ring apron, while Brooke Tyler locks in the full nelson Brooke Breaker on Oonishi. Yuki tries to get into the ring to break up the submission hold but Amber Allen knocks her right back. Gemmei gets nowhere, stuck in the expert hold, but won’t give in, because she knows, Higa always come to the rescue. Except this time she doesn’t. Outside the ring, Higa observes the situation, and it seems like she has given up, or at least decided it’s up to Gemmei to fix her own situation. When no help comes and Gemmei eventually taps out, Higa turns and leaves Gemmei on her own. Jillian Jarvis grabs Oonishi before she can roll out of the ring and starts beating her up, but when Higa doesn’t turn around to save her friend, it’s like Jarvis loses interest, and Yuki Moore can help Gemmei get away. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Sometimes, a good match is just a good match. Juana Huracán do her best to take away Higgins’ and Perez’ mobility, Pamela Rojo tries to hit the big powerbombs while Bubblegum Brawlers show heart and resilience. A distraction from Jaguar Queen looks like it could be the straw to break the camel’s back, but instead it ignites a comeback from the champions culminating in stereo suicide dives to the outside knocking out both Rojo and Huracán. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

She has quietly elevated the Shockwave title with her title reign, it’s the least I can do.

You can have them win their first match and it's for a decently important thing, but it's not for a belt on their very first night in the fed.

She’s the only main eventer in the match based on popularity which is evenly spread out all over the country. She is clearly valuable. In-ring though, she’s pretty mediocre. Average at best.

Birds of Prey + Teresa Perez used to be a thing, but since Christy Higgins returned, they are now two tag teams rather than one trio. Until a good such group solidifies, Ronin 3 seem likely to rule the roost. Which I am totally fine with.

Opening match: Lora Washington, Maria Guest & Águila Azul Celeste vs Jaguar Clan (Jaguar Queen, Maribel Mercado & Purple Queen) - The name team should have enough to see off the random trio. I think. :p

 

Match 2: Bad Girls Club (Foxxy LaRue & Killer Kass) vs The Eclipse (Sweet & Breaks) - BGC surely have too much for the plucky youngsters?

 

Match 3: Higa vs Yuki Moore vs Zoe Ammis 3-way Qualification match for the Christmas Tree Battle - I'm not sure at all about this. It's a credit to your booking that any of the three could do it and it wouldn't seem odd to me.

 

Main Event: Chitose Ariwara vs Claire Winters © Shockwave Title Match - The White Witch will make winter last a little longer (whoever finally beats her should be dubbed the Lioness in a nod to Narnia though).

:D

 

Bonus Questions:

Which is the Match of the Night? Higa-Yuki-Amiss?

Does the Shockwave title change hands? No... though the question makes me think that maybe Winter will be DQ'd or CO'd.

<p>Datsun really is a cliffhanger factory. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Too bad about Jessi being the laggard so far among the rookies. Hopefully her segments with her 'dad' can at least boost her popularity without having to have her lose on the main show too much.</p><p> </p><p>

I wasn't too surprised by Kass not winning the spot in the Christmas Tree match, but I like how you pulled it off. Definitely opens up a lot of possibilities for the final spot.</p><p> </p><p>

Opening match: <strong>Lora Washington, Maria Guest & Águila Azul Celeste</strong> vs Jaguar Clan (Jaguar Queen, Maribel Mercado & Purple Queen)</p><p>

<em>Lora needs a win bad, really bad. Águila seems to be stringing some wins along too. Jaguar Clan probably puts up a good fight, but maybe that'll be Washington's first real feud.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Match 2: <strong>Bad Girls Club (Foxxy LaRue & Killer Kass)</strong> vs The Eclipse (Sweet & Breaks)</p><p>

<em>I like the name Eclipse, even if I don't see them winning this one. Maybe I missed it, but is this the first acknowledgement of Bad Girls Club coming back from Bad Girls Inc?</em></p><p> </p><p>

Match 3: Higa vs Yuki Moore vs <strong>Zoe Ammis</strong> 3-way Qualification match for the Christmas Tree Battle</p><p>

<em>Liking the Higa heel turn. I could see her pulling this out, but Zoe and Alina together in the Christmas Tree match stacks the odds against Capitano even more.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Main Event: <strong>Chitose Ariwara</strong> vs Claire Winters © Shockwave Title Match</p><p>

<em>If this is going to be a longer-term feud, I think Chitose needs a reason to keep chasing Claire. That reason would be Claire either cheating to win or getting herself intentionally DQ/counted out. I'll go with the latter.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Bonus Questions:</p><p> </p><p>

Which is the Match of the Night? Tag matches seem to always do well in QAW, so let's go <strong>BGC vs the Eclipse</strong>.</p><p>

Does the Shockwave title change hands? Got to say <strong>no</strong>, unless Claire is getting a monster push up the card.</p>

Held at Ranch of San Antonio</p><p> </p><p>

Opening match: <strong>Lora Washington, Maria Guest & Águila Azul </strong>Celeste vs Jaguar Clan (Jaguar Queen, Maribel Mercado & Purple Queen)</p><p>

<strong>Washington badly needs to be on the winning side</strong> </p><p> </p><p>

Match 2: <strong>Bad Girls Club</strong> (Foxxy LaRue & Killer Kass) vs The Eclipse (Sweet & Breaks) <strong>Going to be a total eclipse and the BGC or I take care of business against Sweet and Breaks</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Match 3: <strong>Higa</strong> vs Yuki Moore vs Zoe Ammis 3-way Qualification match for the Christmas Tree Battle</p><p>

<strong>Time for Higa to show what she can really do</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Main Event: <strong>Chitose Ariwara</strong> vs Claire Winters © Shockwave Title Match</p><p>

<strong>By DQ or CO though so Claire retains and frustrates Chitose and the fans</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Bonus Questions:</p><p>

Which is the Match of the Night? <strong>Main Event</strong></p><p>

<p>You know, I may not score very high on the predictions. But, I tend to predict based on the way that <em>I</em> would book something. Even though I might take a giant swing-and-a-miss, all of your bookings make sense and are dramatically satisfying, so it's kind of fun to see how differently things can go than how I'd imagine it and still be great reading.</p><p> </p><p>

Opening match:<strong> Lora Washington, Maria Guest & Águila Azul Celeste</strong> vs Jaguar Clan (Jaguar Queen, Maribel Mercado & Purple Queen)</p><p> </p><p>

<em>Lora might not have the pop in Texas that AA does, and she may not be as good a wrestler as Kass, but unless you're booking a national-level notable as a jobber as a passive-aggressive insult of USPW or trying to get someone over by leeching off Washington's USPW popularity and then kicking her to the curb, I don't think she can lose here and remain relevant.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Match 2: Bad Girls Club (Foxxy LaRue & Killer Kass) vs <strong>The Eclipse (Sweet & Breaks)</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<em>This is my far-out-there pick of the night. I'm calling a heavily-protected upset here, maybe not even a pinfall - count-out or DQ wouldn't surprise me. It would be a way to set up Eclipse as a team with a lot of potential, one that can sneak up on more established teams, and it would be easy enough for Foxxy and Kass to get their win back.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Match 3: Higa vs Yuki Moore vs <strong>Zoe Ammis</strong> 3-way Qualification match for the Christmas Tree Battle</p><p> </p><p>

<em>I think Ammis gets in so she can face Capitano, and Higa and Yuki go on to have a program of some kind that really gets going during this match.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Main Event: <strong>Chitose Ariwara</strong> vs Claire Winters © Shockwave Title Match</p><p> </p><p>

<em>Unless you've massively soured on Ariwara, there's no way that losing to Claire Winters isn't a major upset. On the other hand, Claire can lose by some underhanded method that allows her to keep her title without looking any the worse while burnishing her chicken-you-know-what heel credentials. I think at some point Claire gets a dirty win on Ariwara to help elevate her, but I think you can play this one out a little longer.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Bonus Questions:</p><p>

Which is the Match of the Night?</p><p> </p><p>

<em>The </em><em><strong>three-way</strong></em><em> will be more than just okay, it'll be Match of the Night!</em></p><p><em>

</em></p><p>

Does the Shockwave title change hands?</p><p> </p><p>

<em>Despite a predicted Winters loss, she'll lose by a means under which the title does not change hands, so </em><em><strong>no</strong></em><em>.</em></p>

<b>Lora Washington, Maria Guest & Águila Azul Celeste vs Jaguar Clan (Purple Viper, Maribel Mercado, Jaguar Queen)</b></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Purple Viper puts on a stellar perfomance in an otherwise open match between two quite evenly matched teams. She is however not as well coordinated as the two tag team partners Mercado and Jaguar Queen. Which might be why when she’s got Lora Washington in a full nelson, holding her for Jaguar Queen to attack, Lora slips out of the way and Purple Viper takes the full brunt of Jaguar Queen’s lariat. Leaving Jaguar Queen to suffer Lora’s July 4th Jam (a sitout facebuster) and a subsequent three count. Purple Viper is not happy afterwards, clearly annoyed with her team mates, but turns her anger toward Lora Washington, promising to get her revenge. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Freddie Datsun walks out to his old DAVE intro, and behind him walks Foxxy LaRue, Killer Kass and Jessi Crash, the latter carrying the old Bad Girls Club banner. A smug looking Dharma Gregg also follows suit, preening behind Killer Kass.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Datsun takes to the microphone. “You know when wrestling peaked? That’s right. It peaked when I was lighting up DAVE, that’s when. Oh, I admit, it wasn’t ALL thanks to me, but fact remains. And when was QAW at its best? Now? Oh, stop kidding. QAW was at it’s peak when the Bad Girls Club brought violence to this place, that’s when. You’re booing? Just because you don’t like what I’m saying doesn’t change the fact that I am right, and you are wrong. If QAW is ever going to be great again it’s time to turn over a new leaf and put our trust in the ones that with the support of the front office can bring this place into shape. I give you the new Bad Girls Club. 2.0, if you will.”</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Bad Girls Club (Larue & Kass) /w Dharma Gregg vs The Eclipse (Sweet & Breaks)</b></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Charity and Ariel look rightly concerned as the entirety of Bad Girls Club descends on the ring, but also determined to make a match of it. That would have been difficult enough if they just had to deal with LaRue and Killer Kass, but Dharma Gregg keeps distracting the referee, allowing Kass, LaRue and sometimes Jessi Crash as well to team up on their opponents. Toward the end of the match, LaRue has Breaks beaten and pinned, but at the count of two she breaks the pin, not satisfied with just beating the opponent. Instead, with Dharma Gregg providing the distraction Breaks is strung up against the ropes where Jessi Crash holds her in place while Foxxy tags in Killer Kass. Before Erin Lawrence has time to notice her interference Crash snaps Ariel’s head backwards, as she stumbles into the middle of the ring, LaRue rushes over to Charity Sweet and hits her with a big boot while Killer Kass takes her time to deliver a Kill Switch to Ariel. The three count is a blessing when it looks like Foxxy wanted to drag it out even further. After the match is over she gloatingly holds up Ariel’s head by the hair as if she’s prepared to continue the beatdown. She looks at Charity, daring her to step in to save her team mate. Charity hesitates for just a moment before steeling herself and steps into the ring. There’s a moment when she and Foxxy stares at each other and nobody is sure what’s going to happen, before Foxxy gives up a laugh, let’s Ariel go and rolls out of the ring. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Yuki Moore vs Higa vs Zoe Ammis /w Alina America Christmas Tree Battle Qualifier</b></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Yuki puts on a spirited performance, but any time she’s knocked out of the ring and it’s just Ammis and Higa left tension rise and there’s a feeling something big is about to go down and their one on one lockups are some of the best interactions seen in a QAW ring since before Paige Croft left the company. Zoe shows she does not need Alina America to be a formidable opponent to Higa, but Yuki is more inclined to attack Zoe than Higa, which might be why Alina decides to get up on the ring apron to interfere, but against Higa’s ring nearly supernatural ring awareness it backfires as the two teammates collide, allowing Higa to hit Zoe with a release suplex across the ring on the rebound. Ammis rolls out of the ring, but only to allow Higa to hit Yuki Moore with the Higa Green Driver for the 1-2-3.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Camera turns to backstage where Capitano is approached by a bland looking man with a microphone.

“Higa just won the final spot in the Christmas Tree Battle, joining Foxxy LaRue, Alina America and yourself.

“They’re formidable opponents. Foxxy and Alina carries a grudge and I’m sure they will be gunning for me, and Higa is an intimidating opponent. She has fallen just short before, I’m sure she’s looking to vindicate herself.” </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Capitano laughs. “Plan? With these opponents, there is no plan that will hold up to past the first exchange of punches. Foxxy have allies. She can make plans. All I can do is go out there and give it all I have and pray it’s enough to go home for Christmas with the World title around my waist.

<b>Chitose Ariwara vs Claire Winters © Shockwave Title match</b></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

After Claire Winters with a scoff rejects Chitose’s offer of a handshake and the bell rings, there’s no build, no feeling each others out as both of them go for the throat from the first second. Claire starts the match trying to take out Chitose’s legs, but the former world champion is a moving target. Soon, it’s like Claire forgets about strategy and the two start trading signature moves. Chitose’s snap suplex for Claire’s gut buster. Missile dropkick for Untouchable lariat. Chitose goes for the Victory Roll, but Claire has it scouted, traps Chitose and hits her with a back to belly piledriver. It looks over, but Chitose kicks out though she looks pretty much done for. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Claire, frustrated, decides to go top rope, but unused to top rope maneuvers, she takes too much time and when she goes for the frog splash Chitose has time to get out of the way. By now, both fighters are pretty out of it. Claire prudently rolls out of the ring from pure survival instinct. Chitose doesn’t seem to have much left in the tank, but seeing Claire on the defense give her energy, and she gets out on the ring apron, jumps on Claire’s shoulders for a Victory Roll, but again, Claire is ready, and counters into a power bomb. She doesn’t release her grip, but lifts Chitose to repeat the maneuver, but somehow instinct kicks in for Chitose, she flips around on Claire’s shoulders, Claire stumbles and Chitose hits the Victory Roll, knocking Claire flat on the ringside floor. They both end up collapsed on the floor. Referee Erin Lawrence start counting them out. Chitose is the first to start stirring, but it looks doubtful if even she is going to make it before the ten count. Just as she’s about to throw herself up on the ring apron, Claire grabs her leg and pulls her back to her knees. That’s enough for Lawrence to complete the ten count, and the match is over.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Now the Christmas present reward, that's creative, i.e. I wish I had thought of it myself. :D

 

With Claire being QAW's Roman Reigns, at least you mean for the fans to boo here.

 

As for Jessi, I think she can still be useful. It's strange the boost that happen to character stats out of nowhere sometimes. Does she have a mentor or is that Datsun?

 

- Opening Match: Killer Kass vs Lily Snyder

Poor Lily. This just screams squash to me, so maybe something else happens?

 

- Match 2: 10-woman Battle Royal

 

Águila Azul Celeste

Ariel Breaks

Gemmei Oonishi

Jaguar Queen

Jessi Crash

Jillian Jarvis

Juana Huracán

Maria Guest

Pamela Rojo

Zoe Ammis

 

Thinking that it comes down to Zoe and Jarvis, but Ariel being in this and not the trios match makes me think she has an outside shot. I really can't pick against Zoe though, and I see her getting a big push coming out of this.

 

- Match 3: Etsuko Arihyoshi, Lucy Trigg & Maribel Mercado vs Bessie Psycho, Charity Sweet & Yuki Moore Santas Little Helper Trios Match

Charity should excel in an eye candy match, and my guess is Yuki, with her pop backstory, will as well. Still weird to see this in QAW, but like you said, it's the once a year deal. :)

 

- Match 4: Lora Washington vs Purple Viper

I was happy to see this feud come out of last show's match. Viper seems like a good person to put over Lora to establish her in QAW with her time in the company and past achievements, yet not really doing anything at the moment.

 

- Match 5: Bubblegum Brawlers (Higgins & Perez) vs Canadian Destroyers (Allen & Tyler) Tag Team title match

As much as it pains me to do so, I think there's a title change on this show. I don't see it with the Shockwave or World titles, so I think it happens here. It also is a good spot for Allen and Tyler, and should lead to some good matches from them.

 

- Match 6: Chitose Ariwara vs Claire Winters No Count Outs Shockwave title match

Claire gets a big win. It will probably be dirty, but heels going to heel. ;)

 

- Main Event: Capitano vs Higa vs Alina America vs Foxxy LaRue Christmas Tree Battle World title match

Ah, do you go full steam ahead on the Higa heel turn, having her use dirty tricks to win this one? The belt just came off LaRue, and Capitano can't have title demands in her contract, so I don't see the switchback there. Alina as a dark horse? I feel like I'm playing it safe, but I'll say Capitano retains.

 

Bonus Questions:

 

Who gets the most eliminations in the Battle Royal? Going to say Jillian Jarvis, as a consolation prize.

Who are the final 4 in the Battle Royal? Zoe Ammis, Jillian Jarvis, Ariel Breaks, and Jessi Crash (thanks to her dad)

How many of the three titles that are defended change hands? Let's go with one.

Card for Naughty and Nice

 

Along with the Christmas theme, winners of any match that is not a title match gets to pick a wrapped present from Santa’s Christmas tree. They may contain title opportunities, money bonuses or other special gifts.

 

- Opening Match: Killer Kass vs Lily Snyder

Really the only “give me on the card, which means excellent booking”. Now onto the match, is there really any doubt. Poor Lily, Kass is gonna kill ya

 

- Match 2: 10-woman Battle Royal

Águila Azul Celeste

Ariel Breaks

Gemmei Oonishi

Jaguar Queen

Jessi Crash

Jillian Jarvis

Juana Huracán

Maria Guest

Pamela Rojo

Zoe Ammis

 

I’d hate too see Jillian lose the momentum that I think she has built up and hasn’t received title shot. Battle Royals and Rumbles often create new stars or pushes and you will likely do that, but I’m going with who I like and not who might be getting the big push.

 

- Match 3: Etsuko Arihyoshi, Lucy Trigg & Maribel Mercado vs Bessie Psycho, Charity Sweet & Yuki Moore Santas Little Helper Trios Match

The annual (and only) eye candy match of QAW. Going to say that Charity’s eye candiness prevails

 

- Match 4: Lora Washington vs Purple Viper

Easily could go the other way but the faces need another pushing up and the Jaguar Clan or anyone associated with it seem to be stuck in the mud

 

- Match 5: Bubblegum Brawlers (Higgins & Perez) vs Canadian Destroyers (Allen & Tyler) Tag Team title match

Ronin 3b or Ronin 3 II or even just Ronin 3 straight up does not look right as name for a tag team.

 

Just not a big fan of bubblegum, so I’ll go with the heels giving Ronin 3 some much needed gold

 

- Match 6: Chitose Ariwara vs Claire Winters No Count Outs Shockwave title matchGoing with your Roman Reigns to continue to frustrate your “Ricky Steamboat”

 

- Main Event: Capitano vs Higa vs Alina America vs Foxxy LaRue Christmas Tree Battle World title match

 

I really want to go with Higa here and I might change my mind before the card comes out. But if Claire retains and the CD’s win, then I think the title stays on the baby face

 

The Christmas Tree Battle is a glorified ladder match, in case you hadn't figured it out.

 

Bonus Questions:

Who gets the most eliminations in the Battle Royal? Zoe

Who are the final 4 in the Battle Royal? Jillian, Zoe, Maria and Ariel

How many of the three titles that are defended change hands? 1

<p><b>Naughty and Nice Week 3 of December 2019</p><p>

Clover Fields in front of 12,317 people</b></p><p> </p><p>

<b>Opening Match: Lily Snyder vs Killer Kass</b></p><p>

A defiant Lily Snyder won’t back down from the much larger opponent, impressing with her own physical strength, but the illusion of a stalemate does not last long as Kass scoop slams Lily like she weighed no more than a feather. A Kill Switch later and it’s all over.</p><p>

<b>Killer Kass wins by pinfall in 5:40</p><p>

As victor of a non-title match, Killer Kass has earned a gift from Santa Claus. She approaches the Christmas tree, gives the pile of wrapped gifts a good look before selecting a modest looking rectangular package. She opens it up and pulls out a thick stack of what appears to be 100 dollar bills. She flicks through the stack with a smile growing on her face. The fearsome woman leans in and gives Santa a peck on the cheek. “Santa, you get me,” she says, waving the wad of bills in the air as she walks out.</p><p> </p><p>

All participants of the Battle Royal has trotted to the ring to the tunes of wholesome Christmas - all except Jillian Jarvis. Suddenly the Christmas music is drowned in engine noise, and on a rumbling Harley, Jillian rides into the arena at the front of a rough looking group of bikers. After getting off the bike she takes the time for a short detour past the announce table. She knocks the headset off a flustered Alfonso Garcia, gives Farrah Hesketh an evil glare, before giving Grace Harper a slow, deliberate fistbump. Only then does she turn her attention to the ring. She leaps into motion, slides into the ring, getting to her feet right in front of Zoe Ammis who to her credit does not bat an eye at the invasion of her personal space. There’s a moment when it looks like they’ll come to blows before the bell even rings, but referee Francis Long steps in and gently separates the two.</p><p>

<b>10-woman Battle Royal (Águila Azul Celeste, Breaks, Oonishi, Jaguar Queen, Crash, Jarvis, Huracán, Guest, Rojo, Ammis)</b></p><p>

The match starts cautiously as clearly nobody wants to be the first to be eliminated. Jessi Crash nearly clotheslines Gemmei Oonishi straight over the top rope, but the nimble ninja skins the cat by the narrowest of margins. Instead it is Crash herself that is sent over the top rope by an alliance of Águila Azul Celeste, Ariel Breaks and Maria Guest. Soon after, Águila Azul Celeste is caught on the top turnbuckle by Jillian Jarvis. A series of backhands later it’s almost a mercy when Águila Azul Celeste tumbles down to the floor.</p><p>

Juana Huracán and Pamela Rojo thoroughly beats up Ariel Breaks, but as Maria Guest and Gemmei Oonishi breaks it up, Jarvis throws the hapless Ariel over the top rope. </p><p>

Jaguar Queen overextends trying to eliminate Zoe Ammis, and is instead sent out the ring with a hurricanrana that almost eliminates Ammis as well, but she hangs on by a thread. Jillian Jarvis tries to eliminate Jaguar Queen, but Guerreros Azteca come for the rare rescue of the former Jaguar Clan leader, but Jarvis won’t let go, and in the end both of them end up eliminated, and before she has regained her balance, Juana Huracán is pushed over the ropes by Gemmei Oonishi.</p><p>

This gets Pamela Rojo enraged, and she goes after Gemmei without a thought to other participants left in the battle royal. While Rojo chase Oonishi around Maria Guest and Zoe Ammis is locked up in the opposite end of the ring, and while Guest is a technically sound wrestler, Ammis just plain outwrestles her. It just so happens that as Ammis gets Guest unsteadily up in a fireman’s carry, Rojo Irish whips Oonishi who dodges Rojo’s clothesline, but come face to face with Ammis, and reflexively drop kicks her right in the chest, resulting in Zoe dropping Guest over the ropes. With just three left, Oonishi gets up with urgency, but Rojo is on her, beating her down into the mat. Rojo is ready to toss her out of the ring and looks to Ammis for a bit of assistance, but Ammis has other plans and instead with a little help from Oonishi holding down the top rope, Ammis pushes Rojo over the ropes. Not wanting to give Gemmei any time to recover and seeing as Gemmei has gone over the ropes but not hit the floor, Ammis does her best to kick her out of the ring, but Gemmei not only dodges out of the way, she also manages to get Zoe tangled up in the ring ropes long enough for Gemmei to get back in the ring and on her feet. </p><p>

The next few minutes is something of a star making performance from Oonishi who after she gets her bearings back keeps even steps with perhaps the pound for pound best wrestler in QAW right now. Ammis deftly adapts to the Japanese style of Oonishi, but several times she’s caught out by the pure speed of Oonishi who seems to be in a constant state of motion from rope to rope. More than anything though, Ammis is resourceful, and the next time Gemmei come flying across the ring, Ammis pushes referee Francis Long in front of her. Gemmei puts on the brakes to avoid a collision, and that’s enough for Ammis super kick to hit home. Zoe gets Gemmei up on her shoulders, deposits her over the ropes, and when Gemmei holds on to the ropes on the outside, a roundhouse kick sends Oonishi to the floor.</p><p>

<b>Zoe Ammis wins by over the rope elimination in 21:46</p><p>

Match Rating: B- (73)</b></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><img src="</p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/W9znUzz.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/W9znUzz.jpg"</a> alt="Zoe Ammis" /> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/6GVLPGB.jpg" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/6GVLPGB.jpg"/></a></div><p></p><p></p><p>

After having had her arm raised in victory, Ammis gets up to the podium where Santa Claus is sitting in a chair, and beneath the Christmas tree, there’s a pile of large and small packages. </p><p> </p><p>

Santa gestures to the pile, but Ammis raises her nose in the air. “You’re Santa. You should know what I want. You pick.”</p><p> </p><p>

Santa shrugs his shoulders and picks out a present and hands it to her. “Merry Christmas, Zoe.”</p><p> </p><p>

She peels off the paper and looks inside. And then all the anticipation shining through drains from her face and turns into a scowl. She pulls out a big wad of cash, the same size Killer Kass walked away with. She waves it in Santa’s face with a furious look on her face. “What is this?”</p><p> </p><p>

Santa looks quite taken aback at the reaction. “It’s… It’s a Christmas bonus. Don’t you like it?”</p><p> </p><p>

“Like it? LIKE it? It’s a damn insult is what it is! I’m Zoe Ammis, I’m the chosen one, the one hand picked to lead this company. Did you completely miss all the achievements in my CV? Do you think I’m short on money?” She takes a step back. </p><p> </p><p>

“This company sucks. Christmas sucks. And you’re the worst. You can take your money and stuff it somewhere the sun doesn’t shine.” She gives the wad of money one last look, then throws it in Santa’s face. The bills fly everywhere singling through the air like a cloud of confetti. Then she storms off.</p><p>

As Zoe leaves a bewildered Santa, the Christmas jingles make their comeback, and the competitors in the next match come dancing out in skimpy little festive Santa’s Little Helper wrestler outfits - some looking more comfortable in them than others. Lucy Trigg seem like she’d like to hide behind some of her team mates, while Yuki Moore and Etsuko Arihyoshi engage in something that could be called a booty shaking contest, before referee Francis Long to a smattering of boos interrupt them so he can start the match. </p><p>

<b>Bessie Psycho, Charity Sweet & Yuki Moore vs Etsuko Arihyoshi, Lucy Trigg & Maribel Mercado, Santa’s Little Helper match</b></p><p>

Despite the eye candy trappings, the two teams put on a fast paced if slightly overbooked fight, where Francis Long after a while seems to give up maintaining order, letting the young women sort it out themselves. That Maribel finds a giant candy cane from the decorations and brings it into the ring as a weapon he just rolls his eyes at, confiscating it only after she’s gotten a couple of good whacks in to Charity Sweet’s behind. In the end though, it’s Lucy Trigg’s modesty that costs them - Yuki Moore is trying to give her a german suplex, but Lucy is holding on to the ropes for dear life. They’re close to Yuki’s team mates though, and Bessie cocks her head a bit and locks eyes with Lucy who shakes her head no. That only makes Bessie more interested, and she reaches out and tugs a bit at Trigg’s red and white plush decorated top. Lucy yelps and reflexively covers herself, letting go of the rope, allowing Moore to send her flying. Yuki tags in Charity Sweet who goes top rope and hits Trigg with the Sugar Smack followed by the pin.</p><p>

While Etsuko and Maribel berates Trigg for costing them the match, Bessie, Charity and Yuki surrounds Santa. He congratulates them on their victory, and invites them each to pick out a present. </p><p>

Yuki Moore opens her first, revealing a briefcase. Puzzled, she looks inside, where it is explained as a right to insert herself and a teammate in a tag team title match, at any point in time before next years Naughty and Nice. “But I don’t even have a tag team partner!” Yuki exclaims, perplexed. Santa just shrugs.</p><p>

Bessie tears up a small wrapped package the size of a small jewelry box. Inside is a car key. She looks questioningly to Santa, but her attention is drawn to the executive class Mercedez Benz that rolls in.</p><p>

“Why should just executives drive nice cars? For the next six months, you are in possession of the company car. Please return it in good condition.”</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><img src="</p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/qyk7nTU.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/qyk7nTU.jpg"</a> alt="Grace Harper" /> <img src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/Ejm21gp.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/Ejm21gp.jpg"</a> alt="Farrah Hesketh" /> </div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

<b>Grace Harper: </b>Farrah… Isn’t that your car?</p><p> </p><p>

<b>Farrah Hesketh: </b>It’s not mine. It’s QAW’s.</p><p> </p><p>

<b>Grace:</b> But you gave up your car so that Bessie can have it? That’s really generous of you. Or is it true that commissioner Datsun stripped you of your privilege of a company car?</p><p> </p><p>

<b>Farrah:</b> I don’t want to talk about it. I’m getting it back in...June.</p><p> </p><p>

<b>Grace:</b> I’m not sure Bessie has a drivers license, but I suspect that won’t stop her.</p><p> </p><p>

Finally it’s just Charity Sweet left. Out of the corner of her eye, she spies Ariel Breaks watching from gorilla position. She waves her over, which Ariel does, hesitantly. “You pick something,” Charity says. “My Christmas gift to you.” Ariel looks wide eyed at Charity, but picks something out. She opens it, and shows a card with a picture of the Miss Mexico trophy on the front, superimposed on a portrait of Miss Mexico herself. </p><p> </p><p>

“What does it say?” Charity asks.</p><p> </p><p>

“The key to finishing first is to start last. However many participants the Miss Mexico Trophy battle royal has in 2020, you are the last starter.” Ariel reads.</p><p> </p><p>

Charity smiles. “Congratulations, future Miss Mexico trophy winner. That’s awesome.” </p><p> </p><p>

Ariel looks concerned. “Are you sure about this? It’s your prize, you won it. I won’t be mad if you want it back.”</p><p> </p><p>

Charity shakes her head. “I want you to have it. It makes me happy to give that gift to you. It is Christmas after all.” </p><p> </p><p>

And while Ariel gives Charity a big hug, puking noises can be heard from Grace Harper. </p><p>

<b>Lora Washington vs Purple Viper</b></p><p>

Any time they face off toe to toe, Lora takes charge of the match, but Purple Viper brings out the whole arsenal of dirty tricks, culminating in a spray of asian mist, leaving Lora defenseless to Purple Viper’s Viper Bite and a quick roll up for the 1-2-3.</p><p>

<b>Purple Viper wins by pinfall in 10:45</p><p>

Match Rating: 60</b></p><p> </p><p>

Thinking that the blinded Lora must be defenseless, Purple Viper looks to continue beating her up after the match is over, but she quickly finds out that an angry Lora is a dangerous opponent and after having roles reversed on her, Purple Viper strikes a quick retreat. So quick that she just grabs a wrapped present on her way out, holding it in the air as a trophy as she makes her exit.</p><p>

</p></div><p></p><p><b>Bubblegum Brawlers © vs Canadian Destroyers /w Jillian Jarvis for the Tag Team titles</b></p><p>

Jillian Jarvis accompanies Brooke Tyler and Amber Allen to the ring, egging them on to violence, clearly still raging from her elimination in the battle royal earlier. They hit hard, pushing Christy Higgins and Teresa Perez around from the start of the match, but as the match goes on, the spunky and well coordinated Bubblegum Brawlers make the Ronin 3 duo look foolish with quick and seemingly improvised combinations. Christy Higgins soon learn however that you don’t do that to Ronin 3 unpunished. Amber Allen interrupts Higgins running the ropes with a stiff kick to the back. Brooke Tyler follows up with a scoop slam. She makes a pin attempt, but Christy kicks out. Brooke pushes Christy to the edge of the ring where Amber Allen takes over, despite referee Francis Long’s protestations. She pulls Christy out off the ring apron for an elevated DDT. When Teresa Perez come running around the ring for the rescue, Jillian Jarvis ignores the warnings from Francis Long and knocks Teresa out cold with a Tornado Elbow Smash, and Francis Long see no alternative but to call the match. Brooke power bombs Christy on the entrance ramp, and Jillian picks her up and sends her like a lawn dart into the big Christmas tree before they lose interest and make their exit.</p><p>

</p></div><p></p><p>The video screen shows footage of a red fox making its way across a winter landscape until the intro hits its crescendo when the traditional megitsune mask gradually fades into view. The mask is slowly moved aside, revealing the solemn looking face of Chitose, before it cuts to a highlight reel of her QAW career, mostly from her World title run. Before the captivated audience has realized it, Chitose has made her entrance and is halfway down to the ring. She allows herself a few high fives on the way down, but she looks extremely focused on the task at hand. In many ways, Claire Winters entrance directly afterwards is similar, but the visual language is less romantic, looking more like a colorful MMA promo video. She raises the Shockwave title in the air as she steps into the ring. </p><p>

<b>Chitose Ariwara vs Claire Winters © for the Shockwave title</b> </p><p>

Again, Claire rejects Chitose’s outstretched hand before the bell rings. The story of the match is told in a sequence of events that starts with Claire getting the drop on Chitose by the ropes, and uses the full five-count to kick her prone opponent before backing off. Nothing underhanded, but using the limits of the rulebook to it’s max. A bit later the roles are reversed, but Chitose backs off, letting Claire get back on her feet, and they move to lock up again. From there, the match shifts back and forth, neither really gaining the momentum until Claire manages to throw Chitose head first into a turn buckle. It does not look devastating, but when Chitose moves to turn around, she find that she’s stuck. She yanks, but her taped wrists have caught on to some part of the protective padding on the middle turn buckle. Claire sees this and moves in toward her defenseless opponent, but stops midstep, as if recalling the sportsmanlike gesture offered her earlier. She looks conflicted, but gestures to referee Erin Lawrence to go help Chitose out while Claire backs off to her ring corner for some water. Unfortunately for Claire, that’s the closest she gets as Chitose goes into overdrive, goes for the Victory Roll, but Claire shakes it off, but is hit instead by a super kick followed by a release suplex and a dragon suplex. Claire kicks out of the following pin attempt at two and nine tenths. The second time Chitose goes for the Victory Roll Claire is too out of it to avoid Chitose’s well known finisher. Erin Lawrence counts 1-2-3, and Chitose Ariwara is the new Shockwave champion.</p><p>

<b>Chitose Ariwara wins by pinfall in 11:11 </p><p>

Match Rating: 66</b></p><p> </p><p>

While Chitose celebrates, Claire soon recovers. As she watches Ariwara celebrate her victory, there is anguish on Claire’s face. She hits the mat with her fists in frustration, and when Chitose notices, their eyes meet for a moment. Before Chitose have time to offer Claire a handshake, Claire rolls out of the ring and makes her exit.</p><p> </p><p>

<b>Alfonso Garcia:</b> We had a rare visit from the board of directors today, meeting some of the wrestlers. Let’s take a look at some footage from earlier today..</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><img src="</p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/cpGJEHc.jpg" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/cpGJEHc.jpg"</a> title="Freddie Datsun" /> <img src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/vrW0gLX.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/vrW0gLX.jpg"</a> alt="Foxxy LaRue" /> <img src="<a href="http://i.imgur.com/SrJMR1G.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/SrJMR1G.jpg"</a> alt="Killer Kass" /> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/lY0n1ln.jpg" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/lY0n1ln.jpg"</a> title="Jessi Crash" /> </div><p></p><p></p><p>

Camera cuts to the wrestlers entrance where commissioner Freddie Datsun entertains a group of people in grey suits. Viewers with good memory may recognize some of the board members from an episode a long time ago. When a black limo drives up they organize themselves, lining up to by the limo. The doors open, and Foxxy LaRue steps out wearing sunglasses and an expensive looking outfit. She’s followed suit by Killer Kass and Jessi Crash. The three are treated like royalty, especially LaRue who deigns to shake hands with the director of the board. It’s clear that the board trusts Datsun’s judgement promoting the Bad Girls Club, and they’re taking full advantage of it. They give the board a brief moment of their time before brushing them off, heading into the depths of the arena. Before the clip ends, we start hearing the tunes of Foxxy’s intro. </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="</p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NLZRYQMLDW4?start=45" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/embed/NLZRYQMLDW4?start=45"</a> frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

When we cut back to the ring, LaRue is conveniently making her entrance. Datsun is accompanying her out on the entrance ramp, trying and failing to make the audience clap along. Instead, it’s a wall of booing meeting the five time world champion. She doesn’t have to do anything by now to ellicit this response, but the aura of entitlement she’s adopted absolutely infuriates the audience.</p><p>

<b>Main Event: Capitano © vs Higa vs Foxxy LaRue vs Alina America Christmas Tree Battle for the World title</b></p><p>

The match starts out everybody for themselves, Foxxy going straight for Capitano, while Higa and Alina locks up. Higa wins that encounter, and turn to the fight between Foxxy and Capitano, where Capitano is holding her own, but just barely. She looks to Higa hopefully for assistance, but instead Foxxy and Higa shares a look and in one coordinated move delivers a devastating one-two double kicks to the head of the world champion. Capitano goes down like a sack of potatoes. Foxxy and Higa stands over Capitano, and Foxxy cackles with glee as Higa takes her top, revealing Bad Girls Club colors underneath. Higa takes the pragmatic route, sliding out of the ring to bring out the giant Christmas decorated ladder while Foxxy keeps punching Capitano. Meanwhile Alina has recovered, manages to blindside Foxxy with a lariat to the back of the head, then follows it up with her Southern Lights Bomb, and Foxxy is out.</p><p>

Higa slides into the ring after the ladder, but is immediately drop kicked back out of the ring by America, who starts to raise the ladder in the middle of the ring. She gets all the way to the top of the ladder before Higa is back in the ring and with all her strength topples the ladder, with Alina crashing to the ground. </p><p>

Next hopeful up the ladder is Higa, but Capitano has somehow gotten to her feet and unsteadily climbs up the ladder opposite Higa and they end up in an extended exchange at the top of the ladder, trading blow for blow. All logic suggests the beaten and bruised Capitano should be on the losing end of the face off, but the circumstances nullify Higa’s technical superiority, making it largely a battle of will, resiliency and fists. In the past, Capitano might have lost that fight, but not this day. Even when Foxxy comes to and assails her from below she hangs on, until Alina America rolls into the ring, assesses the situation, and decides to even out the odds. As Alina suplexes Foxxy from the lower steps of the ladder, Capitano delivers the punch that drops Higa crashing to the mat. And before Alina America has gotten her bearings and start climbing up the ladder, Capitano has the World title belt in her hand.</p><p>

Capitano is celebrating at the top of the ladder, Foxxy and Higa coming to down below her, start berating Alina America who does not want to hear their complaining. She’s not happy either, but she’s done, rolling out of the ring. Foxxy and Higa turn their attention to Capitano, and after some menacing gesturing, the two pushes the ladder over, sending Capitano crashing to the floor where Foxxy and Higa continues the beating - or they would have, if they hadn’t been interrupted. Down the ramp come Yuki Moore running, distracting Foxxy and Higa from noticing the figure that has climbed the nearest turnbuckle. Gemmei Oonishi stands up, tears off the ninja mask that has been her trademark since she came to QAW, and does a shooting star press to the outside, knocking Higa and Foxxy to the floor. With Yuki’s help, they get Capitano to her feet, and with Capitano raising the title belt in the air, they make an orderly retreat. Before they disappear off stage, there is some meaningful pointing and gesturing between Higa and Gemmei, promising this is not the last word between the two.</p><p>

<p>Thank you all for your predictions, and for following my diary. While writing this update, the decision has grown to make this the final update. </p><p> </p><p>

There are different reasons for that, but in short, I've just not had much fun with it lately. Some of it is that the writing process has just felt a little too similar intellectually to my professional responsibilities, and it has not been providing the break from actual work that I've been seeking. Some is that the game hasn't been treating me nicely, and I've just felt creatively discouraged. So it seemed like as good a time as any to wrap up, with the last big show of the year and a new attendance record.</p><p> </p><p>

I am going to play on for a bit longer, I set myself the end goal to reach Cult level, and I figure that is about six to eight months away at current pace. So just to wrap up, let me share the few booking plans I have left.</p><p> </p><p>

</p><ul><li>Higa's inclusion in Bad Girls Club would result in a short fight to be top dog in the faction, come out on top and be Capitano's next challenger, and eventually be the one to take the World title from her. <br /></li><li>My initial plan for Gemmei and Higa was actually for Gemmei to "man up" and turn heel and join Higa and become evil ninjas instead. Then the idea came to have Higa join Bad Girls Club, and that made me change my mind. Let that be the line Gemmei would not cross. Bend her moral codex yes, betray her loyalties? No way. So once Higa became World champion, Gemmei would be her first challenger. I don't think I can build up Gemmei enough to make it a good idea for her to actually defeat Higa, but they can certainly have a good match.<br /></li><li>Purple Viper's Christmas present she didn't open? A Shockwave title challenge. She'd start feuding with Chitose, and Claire Winters would have her definite face turn moment saving Chitose from one of Purple Viper's ambushes.<br /></li><li>Bessie Psycho's car would be the McGuffin for a lower card story, with bullies (I haven't even decided who yet, but Jaguar Clan are strong candidates) first threatening to ruin it, putting Bessie in poor light with the company, and when realizing she too crazy to care, they want to win it as a prize instead, effectively turning the car into a tertiary midcard title.<br /></li><li>Because I have accidentally turned almost all my best performers heel, once Higa wins the World title, I kind of lack a strong babyface challenger after Capitano (who isn't quite up to their level in-ring), so I will be looking to turn a top heel or two face. I think that's going to be Zoe Ammis and Alina America, as odd as that might seem right now. It would solve a secondary problem as well, that there's no good babyface tag team behind Bubblegum Brawlers. I might have them win the tag team titles as heels, turn face as champions, have them drop the titles to a heel team (Foxxy and Killer Kass perhaps), leaving Ammis free to pursue the World title.<br /></li></ul><p></p><p>

And that's it. Again, thank you for sticking with my diary this far. No lie, your participation was what made me stick with it for a lot longer than I otherwise would have.</p>
