The show opens with Paolo's face filling the projection screen. His head is taped up, and he's alone with Arson Wells for a sit-down interview, he explains that Crusher collapsed his temple and it's caused migraine headaches. He has no timetable for his return. Arson asks about Marianne and Paolo bluntly tells him that they've decided to move on from each other. When asked about Bret, he bristles but collects himself and wishes both of them well.

The Aliance vs. The Viper Squad</div>

</div>

First match off the card is a tag match contest, The Alliance comes out as happy-go-lucky babyfaces. Next out is... just Viper, who looks none-to-happy. The referee is hesitant to start the match but Viper tells him that Maise is going to show and thus we start off. This is a very awkward match, with the babyfaces confused and have no idea how to handle their two on one advantage for the first few minutes. Viper tries to slow the match down as best as she can. With frequent outside stalling tactics. She's clearly happy to get out of this with a draw. At the 5 minute warning, Chee pick up the pace and manages to get Viper trapped in the corner. The work quick tags and wear her down. Viper can't even manage any offense as we reach the 2min warning, and at 8:46 she can take no more and submits to a standard crossface from Ventura. The announcers wonder where Maise is, as Viper limps to the back. The whole thing is very strange.

Stuart Wilson vs. Demolition Drebin</div>

After the last match we head into the Berlin Death match, the object of the match is to beat your opponent until someone cannot prevent themselves from being pinned and answering a 10 count from the referee. This match starts out hot. But Drebin is overexposed here. His high-intensity gimmick works well for the early going but as the pinfalls start and the 10 counts become a reality, it all grinds to a halt. Eventually, a bored crowd sees Stuart hit the running powerslam and Drebin can't answer the 10 count. Dreadful match.

We are directed to the projector screen again to see Maise backstage with Raven and a black female with large poofy hair. Raven shows Maise a demonstration of the power that could be hers if she takes on the mantle of "The Third" showing her how to make a pen levitate. She is told by the woman Raven refers to as "The Vanguard" and told that as the three gain more affinity to the lay lines here there powers will grow. The commentary team asks what the hell is going on?

Jason Dempsey and his squeeze pop on next, to tell Cage that he's got nowhere left to run, and jerks the dog-collar around his neck. The knee is healed, no more excuses. Tonight he's getting into the phone booth and he knows Magnus isn't man enough to survive.

Jason Dempsey vs. Magnus Cage</div>

Magnus Cage is out first, and he is his usual cigarette smoking douchebag self. Dempsey is out next and he's got the Dog Collar on with the chain wrapped around his fist itching to fight. Most of the early part of this match is trying to get Cage into the dog collar in the first place. Eventually, the staff is able to circle the ring and get him locked in. The chain is just 4ft long, so when the ref steps off Dempsey jerks him in and starts wailing away.

After a few turn and flee choke spots, Cage eventually starts trying to cover up and answer back. The match can only end via submission or pinfall, Krystyna ringside is very happy as she watches her man beat the hell out of Cage for almost the entirety of the match.

That is until he inexplicably tries to go to the top rope. She gets up on the ring apron to tell him to get down and motions that its a bad idea which gives Cage the ability to stagger to his feet and fall into the ropes causing Dempsey to package check himself.

This signals the finish as a distraught Krystyna watches Cage push Dempsey over the top rope and choke him for minutes straight until he goes unconscious. Krystyna throws in the towel for Dempsey at 11:21, and Cage unhooks himself to let Dempsey's corpse hit the pads on the outside. Cage chases down Krystyna ringside and steals a kiss. Before lighting a cigarette and heading up the ramp.

The Dublin Gals vs. 2 Legit</div>

Next up is the Women's Tag Titles match, After last month's devastating double count-out 2 Legit look ready to capture gold. Aud tells the camera in her Scandinavian accent that she's been doing extra crunches to get nice and tight so the belt looks great on her. Out next, The Dublin Gals, who look a bit less overwhelmed by the moment. Horwood gets over how he spoke with the girls, and they're now in a different mindset, and they're going to take the fight to them, tonight.

And that's exactly what they do in the trademark Berlin Blitz match. The match is tornado tag rules, with a 5min time limit. Which promotes action. The Dublin Gals got the memo, and they start the match like a ball of fire. Dumping out Karen and isolating Aud at a breakneck pace, tandem moves, snap-mare, second rope elbow, top rope splash. Double Dropkick, hiptoss into springboard knee leg drop gets a 2. Top rope forearm, into the Ettique Deathlock and Aud is in a world of trouble as the two-minute warning blares. Karen slides in and takes out both girls, to free Aud from tapping.

Cassie and Karen go back and forth, with absolutely no fear from Cassie. Who seems more bothered by her makeup than anything else. Eventually, Cassie is doubled by Aud, but Blair takes out her with a double leg and 30 seconds comes out from the bell keeper. Karen goes for a desperation press, but Cassie counters into a rollup pin for a 2, and then the quick as a cat Ettiqute Deathlock. Karen is in huge trouble, but she manages to hold out for the bell. Gals retain in a draw. But all four girls are upset at the outcome.

Marriane and Bret Heartbreak are backstage, she explains that Paolo is still a wonderful man, but he is a finished product and it's time for her to mold a fresh piece of clay. Bret says he hopes this doesn't sour his relationship with Paolo, who's a great champion, and tonight he dedicates his performance to his recovery.

The Nigerian Hit Squad vs. Future X</div>

Next out is a recovered Future X ready for their Stretcher Match, they come out high energy and ready for revenge, Mo leads out the champs to a chorus of boos. The goal of the match is to tie your opponent down on a stretcher and bring them to the ramp incapacitated, there are no rules beyond that. And Future X aren't waiting around doing a double dive to the outside that takes out Mo and the Squad to a big pop, the boys take it to the Lawal brothers for most of the first half of the match, crisp tandem offense, solid technical wrestling to keep the bigger men off-balance. Eventually, however size wins out and Eric Future is countered into a power slam by Rashid, leaving Petey 2v1.

The heels brawl to the outside to create distance between them and Future while they wail on Barnes. Future tries to go for a high-risk dive but is caught out of the air and hit with a gutbuster that leaves him out of commission for a while. Barnes wins out one-on-one, but he's no match for the bigger stronger men. Eventually, Mo clears off the pads and tells them to piledrive Future onto the concrete and break his neck. And Rashid does just that, hitting a piledriver that leaves Future out. They go to tie him to the stretcher and Barnes tries to cut it off but he's eventually pacified and tied down too. Mo pushes them both up for the win at 11:53

Post Match: Mo cuts a promo on the EU calling them racists and frauds, and pulls out another EU flag, this time with Byron's face on it. The boys hold it for him so Mo can light it, but Byron runs out in street clothes to make the save. The three fleeing out and into the back. Byron cuts a promo on the flag burning and promises that this won't be tolerated any longer. He bans The Nigerian Hit Squad from EWA and orders them to turn over the tag titles immediately.

After the dust settles we're motioned to the projector to see Eva Berlin and Crusher getting ready for their match with Bret. Eva tells him that Crusher got a taste of Marianne's blood last month and he's going to complete the set here tonight, and Byron better watch, because after The All-Star Bash he's going complete the set of Marianne lovers.

Bret Heartbreak vs. Crusher Von Steinberg</div>

Out first is Crusher Von Steinberg with The Masters of Evil stable, the crowd loses it's mind next when Byron comes out again, posing his way to ringside, Eva hounds after him telling him that he better be ready for what he's about to see and he dismisses her, before hamming it up with Stanford and Horwood. Next out is Bret Heartbreak with Marianne, and Bret looks fired up here. He's out for revenge. The referee explains to them both the rules but Crusher is to busy being insane and staring creepily at Marianne. Ava catcalls after her as they both head outside.

At the start, the first thing that you can tell is that Bret is a much better brawler than his father, good looking punches that land well and generally look better than the bigger man give him the early advantage, and Crush has to use his mat work to slow down his youthful opponent. Marianne leads at a comeback clap that gives him the strength to power out and shoots Crusher off for a big diving forearm. Bret is the first to try to grind a thumb into the skull of Crusher to try and generate a cut, but his nails are too immaculately trimmed and this just lets Crusher counters with a back body drop.

Crusher begins to stalk Marianne on the outside after taking control for a few minutes, and Eva and the gang manage to corner her with nowhere to go. Crusher dives to grab her but she slips under the apron and he slams into the steps and is cut open! the ref tries to check on him and Eva orders Karl to take him out which he does with a devastating bearhug. Soon Bret is outside to go after Crusher fighting through Karl and Kronos to get to Eva and Crusher. Crusher comes up with a fountain of blood from his head but with no referee to see it, Crusher is able to get the better of Bret and throw him into the ring post.

As referee Dwayne Hewitt runs down to fill in, Crusher rolls Bret into the ring and climbs in after him. Bret reverses an attempted Mind Crusher and slingshots him into the Heart Punch and the crowd goes wild. Hewitt sees Bret's face a small cut just above his eye and calls for the bell. The crowd is irate, but when Eva chases down Marianne and chicken wings her up the ramp Bret gives chase. Byron on the commentary desk is losing his mind at the travesty of this decision and asks who's licensing this Hewitt guy?

As Bret reaches Eva, Karl crashes him into the guardrail and both he and Kronos bludgeon him into a state of intense 'bolivian. Crusher arrives and locks him in the dreaded Mind Crusher, and Byron is sitting at the desk screaming for him to use The Showstopper as he taught him, but he's a little busy getting his skull caved in to hear his dad. When all hope looks lost out coves a street clothed Paolo to make the save. He shucks Kronos, and gives Karl the boot and then begins brawling with Crusher. The two are pulled back as the lockerroom empties to check on Bret. Marianne is beside herself as she holds her unconscious new man to her bosom. And order is restored. Eva collects her boys and celebrates the win at 13:02

As the order is restored, Kruge is on the projector. He tells the crowd that tonight he's going to get his ultimate Revengance vs. the Johansson Brothers, and then he's going to seek out new pastures to revengance in. But he doesn't want to hear any whining from them when they meet their final end.

Kruge The Revenger vs. Hercules Johansson vs. Bam Bam Johansson</div>

Byron decides to stay on the desk for the rest of the show. and helps get over how dominant Bam Bam and Hercules are, and how for the past 10 years they've been his greatest challengers. He really questions Kruge's decision, but he supports him tonight. Both Bam Bam and Herc come out together to the surprise of no-one. This is essentially a handicap match for the title. Kruge comes out next and storms down the ramp with emphatic steps.

The match begins with Kruge holding of the two for the start but eventually fading to the numbers game. Kruge is battered and battered, and battered, but eventually he's able to crawl to the outside and attempt to recover. Big soaring chops from Bam Bam come out as Herc stays inside and poses. After some more walk and brawl, Kruge is tossed back inside. As the match reaches the 5min mark. As Herc climbs back in as the Johanssons always do, by grabbing the top rope, Kruge stumbles to his feet, but ducks Herc and he decapitates Bam Bam who falls to the outside. Herc looks mortified as Kruge quickly rolls up Herc for the flash pinfall. Eliminating Herc, and leaving Bam Bam on the outside, out cold. Byron goes insane for the pinfall. And he leads the chearleadering to get Kruge back into this now one-on-one match. Herc checks on his brother outside before getting some extra hits in until the referees threaten to disqualify Bam Bam. And he sets off.

Bam Bam is the first to get up and beat the 20 count. And Kruge is still struggling as Bam Bam resumes the beating. Kruge powers up to catch a Bam Bam chop. But he's taken just too much abuse and Bam Bam pushes him off and catches him with a goliath choke slam to capture his first reign of the Intercontinental title. And Byron is beside himself when Sanford informs him that Bam Bam is the first man in EWA history to complete the EWA Triple Crown, "WHAT, HOW HAVE I, BYRON NOT WON SUCH AWARD OF BRILLIANCE!"

As Bam Bam and Herc send Kruge packing, and celebrate, we are focused on the projector again to see Thea Davis in her gear, she cuts a promo on Raven telling her that she doesn't know what she thinks she's doing here tonight. But she's thankful to Byron for giving her the opportunity to close the show for the very first time in company history. She says she's worked hard, and she's going to show what she's learned tonight against a true legend of the sport, she looks forward to a one-on-one match, and she knows the better woman will win tonight.

Thea's babyface fire is interrupted as the stage goes completely dark. A foglight floods light ough from the back and the three-step through so they are in silhouette. A heavily modified Eurosynth cover of "The Horror" by Spacehog plays. And they begin their walk to the ring when it reaches the chorus. The fog light fades out and then strobe when they get to ringside.And when the lights come up they are standing in the ring, Raven looks completely different now, Her teased up hair makes her look much more her age, and she's wearing a pentagram necklace with a plunging v gown that looks like something Vampirella would wear. Gone are the baggy shorts, and the punkster fare. This is full Saturday night scarefest. The woman on her right wears a purple outfit with a schoolgirl plaid skirt, and knee socks. Besides her young age, she's about 3 inches taller and clearly built for action. While Maise is still wearing her Viper Squad leather/spandex gear.

Thea Davis vs. Raven Nightfall</div>

After Raven makes her entrance, the champ comes out next, for our main event. Thea comes out to her usual entrance, but she's stepped up her red gown with jewels that catch the spotlight. She stands on the outside and the camera squats down to shoot her looking up at Raven and her crew. Thea begins to strip and tells her to move away so she can enter. And Raven just shakes her head, Maise fetches the microphone for Raven and she reminds Thea that this isn't a wrestling match. This is her match. She tells her that Byron begged her to bring up the star power of the "failing women's division" and he gave her the ability to make the rules for this match.

Thea looks over at Byron on the desk that looks around and tells everyone that she's lying of course, that his SERVANT books the woman. This gets looks from both Horwood and Stanford, and Byron moves them on quickly. Thea looks up as she strips off her gown to reveal her gear. Raven orders the ref to start the match, and he does, then he says that the title changes hands on a DQ or Countout, and the referee nods. Thea looks on in disgust as he starts counting her out.

The crowd is upset at potentially getting screwed out of the match, but Thea sprints around the ring and slides in. Raven turns to the referee and informs him that the match is now no-DQ, and he nods. Thea then gets jumped by both of the girls, and she gets swarmed. Raven tells Thea to give up as the girl she calls, "The Vanguard" works over Thea as Maise laughs on. The entire first 5 minutes are Thea getting destroyed 2v1 as Raven changes the rules on the mic. Countouts to 5 seconds that Thea has to beat. DQs for strikes and title changes on DQ. when Thea begins to make a comeback.

After an exhausted Thea is continually double-teamed. Thea finally manages to leapfrog a double-leg attempt and smash Raven in the face with a forearm that gets the mic away from her. The referee is quick to get it out of the ring. And Thea gets her big comeback. Clearing the ring. But the rules are still a No-DQ. Raven tells the girls to stay outside as we hit the halfway point, and we get a 1-on-1 for a few minutes. Raven takes control early, but Thea slowly overtakes her and builds towards her elbow drop, but Maise shoves her to the floor. to a chorus of boos. As we head past 15mins the girls outside beatdown Thea and roll her inside for Raven to finish off.

When all hope seems lost out comes Viper McKenna. Who slides in and cleans house until it's just her and Maise. Viper theatrically kicks the crap out of Maise until the numbers game gets the better of her and she's dumped out. Thea counters Raven's bulldog attempt into an atomic drop and she rescues Viper, running out all of the girls. The match builds to this moment. Raven vs. Thea. Raven begs off but Thea slams a boot into her face and takes it to her until she hits a bodyslam, this time she looks over to see if anyone is going to shove her off, and sees Viper getting beaten down, but holding on just enough to keep Maise and "The Vanguard's" attention. She turns back and calls for the elbow, but when she dives Raven rolls away and she wipes up. Raven pops up and goes for the Nightfaller but it's blocked. Thea takes her head off with a diving double ax handle. She climbs to the top rope again, and this time Maise manages to pull Raven out. Viper takes out Maise and rolls in Raven. Thea hits Raven with a missile dropkick.

As Thea climbs for the third time but "The Vanguard" is there to meet her with a dropkick. Raven recovers as Thea reaches her feet. From behind she grabs Thea and hits the Nightfaller for the 1-2-3. To capture the EWA Women's title. The match was uncharacteristically sloppy but the star power was good enough to get at least a decent reaction, and the finish did get them at the end.

Grade:39

Post Match: Raven takes her title and they hit the bricks leaving both Thea and Viper laying. They celebrate on the ramp as Thea pounds the mat in frustration.

Nice to see the standings board filling up. Berlin Brawl was a heel heavy card and that seems to have thrown a few. We saw a few belts change hands as well. We're fully on the road to The All-Star Bash now, just 3 more cards to go before the biggest night in European wrestling. Can't wait. Also big thanks to Bull I believe for the new renders for Bam Bam and Herc, really like those. And I think I used smw88's Raven re-render? I'm sure he'll let me know if it is his. Either way, thanks for that megapack for artistically challenged people like myself.

Next up is Freakshow, and I've got a bunch of surprises for that card.

EWA Future Stars Academy, April 25th, 2020

Byron sits in his chair as Eva Berlin, dressed in her ridiculous multi-colored and tasseled "servant outfit" with stiff plastic cups that routinely threaten exposure with any quick motion, takes a razor to his completely lathered body. The third drained bottle of THiCC-GROW-XXX sits on his desk and she has managed to talk him out of using it in such high quantities now that he's having... performance issues but with his hair growth back to volumes never before seen across his body, this seems to be the new normal. As she drags the blade across his chest, she scoffs to herself and looks across at his latest "Eureka". A willowy tall older man who has worked on the indies in the UK for a while under the name "Papa O'Keafe" His usual character is that of an Irish, Irish man who speaks Irish, Irish and manages Irish men and women whom he has charmed with his Gaelic Irish, Irishness. He sits in his usual gear, as she had asked him to wear because, with Freakshow on the horizon, Byron had a particularly wacky character for him.

"LISTEN, I, BYRON HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU, LYMAN! YOU WILL MANAGE A NEW ACT!" Byron pauses to allow her some steadiness around his navel. Dipping the razor in a tub of water beside her. "YOU are now FATHACH THE LEPRECHAUN! A man who was rejected by the society of leprechauns because you were too big to live in their TINY HOUSES, living in the human world you have adapted! Using the gold coins of your people you have acquired the services of a MYTHICAL BEAST FROM THE MOUNTAINS OF THE HIMALAYAS to have your revenge against the little people who shunned you!" Eva's eyes roll, as Lyman O'Keane aka Papa O'Keefe stares back at the muscular roasted man covered in shaving cream trying to stay as still as possible while his "servant" removes the overgrown hair from the penis cream he had smeared on his head just hours before. If this wasn't pro wrestling, the man would run screaming from the room. But, this was adorable compared to the drug-addled debauchery he saw in his few dates working for Mark Carne.

In his Irish accent, he smiled and took on the role, after all, he was offered $400 a night. Most dates, he barely made enough for dinner on the indies. "HA-HA!" he bellowed. "With my mythical beast of burden, I shall take EWA by STORM, oh gracious Lord and Savior, Byron the Great!" Byron smiles broadly, but the pain of a knick on his leg brings him back to reality. "ARGH! SERVENT! MY FLESH MUST NOT KNOW A SCAR! CAREFUL WOMAN OF SERVITUDE!"

In this moment, as she held a tissue to his leg, Eva Berlin regrets all of her life choices.

Outside "Brandt's Willy" Schönefeld International Airport, Berlin Germany, April 27th, 2020

Eva Berlin waited in the rain, holding an umbrella waiting for Bret to show, they were behind schedule to meet the WLW envoys with talent they asked her specifically to take. She was hesitant, but Byron liked the idea that a foreign company thought so highly as to send over young boys to spread his legacy beyond Europe. She didn't mind, anything to get out of that uncomfortable "servant" garb he'd made for her, and burn one of her two days away from the hairy monkey she had sworn service to. Thankfully, Bret rolled up in his 4-seater, a gift from his now-estranged mother almost a decade ago.

"I hope you didn't get too wet waiting for me." Bret says obviously happy with himself for the childish double meaning. "Cut the lip. We have work to do." Eva dips into the front seat, and Bret sets off. His hair in a ponytail in a teal compression top and white denim pants. He puts on the radio to his usual favorite dance club music. She never understood why people listen to that recreationally or could tell the difference between the tracks. But the drive wasn't long enough to grow to bothersome. As they reached the landing and headed for pickup area they discovered 3 bewildered-looking young Japanese boys with a handler holding the sign "EWA-WLW"

Both Bret and Eva move over and they all seem eager to complete the transaction. All three make a point of shaking hands and mock prostrating themselves the WLW handler shakes hands after with Bret "Oh, Mr. Byron looks younger and more handsome than his pictures online." The handlers accent adding comedy to the mixup. Bret seems pleased at being mistaken for his father. "This is Bret, Byron's son." The handler takes a moment to process, he's clearly not a native English speaker. But he quickly understands the mistake "Oh, my apology Mr. Byron son. You look so very much like your father. But we must thank you for agreeing to give these young ones a chance to grow here."

Eva looks over the three men, and sees the potential to do well. All are good looking and two are already in a tag team that will help fill out the bottom of the division in the short term. And the singles, Naoji Azumi was... magnetic. A toned physique, enough size, but not enough to betray a natural vulnerableness that she could deny made him standout, even in heavy sweaters and thick clothes in a crowded room. Bret took the new talent to the car and helped them load their things into the trunk as Eva and the handler finished up.

Soon the new boys were set up in a flat overlooking the industrial area a few blocks from Byron's Academy. It was cramped, but the boys found it incredibly spacious... either that or they were just too courteous to complain. By the afternoon they were unpacked, shown where to get converters for their electronics, where the academy was, and good places to get cheap meals. Bret and Naoji seemed to hit it off on their phones. And with the I's dotted and the T's crossed, Eva decided to head back down to FSA to grab her car and head home. It felt nice to have a normal day for a change...

Behind The Curtain: Episode 206 - That's So Raven, April 29th, 2020

"Hey, Hey It's J-Ro, and it's time to start the Sho!. This is Behind The Curtain, and we'll be taking you backstage for your favorite moments of wrestling history and offering insight into the ones happening right now. Tonight, I managed to track down my former tag-team partner, Louisa Robinson aka Raven Robinson aka Raven Nightfall." Raven waves into her webcam. "Hi." J-Ro flashing a smile before continuing, "We'll be chit-chatting tonight about the now end of her time with USPW, the closure of AAA, the latest news about SWF, TCW hitting skidsville and the rumblings about more releases following a run of bad houses and ratings. But first." She picks up her advertiser list and cracks the paper so the listeners can hear it. "We'd like to thank our best sponsor, Pink Chew! Which is the only chemical formulated, FDA approved female performance drug on the market. Tested rigorously, order with our code BTCJRO and you'll get a month supply free, once you try it you'll see why it's the #1 female enhancement drug on the market. And we'd like to thank ZoNeR, the only place to catch your favorite sports live and on-demand, from soccer to RACSIN tour we've got what you need to get your sports fix, go to ZNR.com/BTC to start your 30-day free trial."

She puts down the page and looks up at the monitor with Raven's face on it. "Girl, I've got to start off with what the hell you did with your hair?" Raven laughs as she leans back her pentagram necklace waivers on her sternum as she recovers. "Well, as you know sometimes in the business you've gotta reinvent yourself, and we all can't stay as youthful and ravishing in our 40s like you can, sweetpea." J-Ro flips her hoop earrings and tosses her hair around for emphasis. "But when I left USPW, I was considering retirement, but I got a call from a girl I worked with briefly and you may remember Steffi, and she told me that EWA was looking for girls and they would probably work with me on transitioning at the pace I wanted as a top girl." Raven pauses to clear her throat "And when I was investigating online, I didn't think much of it, but I spoke with the head booker over there, Eva, and she told me that someone was getting ready to hang it up and they needed another mentor-type character with name value. And so we banged out my new character "The Mistress of the Dark" under my old name Raven Nightfall. They let me pick a young girl to work with and I decided to grab the girl I had just worked with on the indies who's a phenomenal athlete, Marie Sigil aka Black Diamond to make a stable, and they popped me right in the main event to get me over."

"Straight to the main event, any backstage ruffled feathers." J-Ro probed. Raven paused to consider but scrunched her face "Not really? The card seemed to lack a Main Event anyways because they had booked their champion injured so the slot was open. And we've got some really cool things lined up for my character, and I'm excited to be starting something new. Building it up, helping both Maise and Marie get over here, working more with Thea Davis, and really creating a women's wrestling oasis in Europe has me looking forward to the future for a change, as opposed to dreading every day like I used to in USPW." She paused "No more cards for plastic surgeons slid in my bags. No more touch-ups between takes. They actually asked me to look more mature over here so that I would standout more." She pointed to the voluminous hair. "The crowd is mostly female over here, the shows are wacky, the schedule is light. I couldn't be happier."

Aud Valkerie chases Karen Bilous into the side entrance. "Karen, we should wait till we talk to Eva!" Karen merely fires back over her shoulder in undecipherable fury. She rounds the corner, pushes past the set-up crew working on the projection screen, and straight through the dressing room, and into the office. "You filthy, piece of trash! I told you I didn't want to work tag, you told me we'd get the next run, and now you've jobbed me out to Lezbo Kate and Flippy Flan, and YOU'RE MOVING US ON!" She kicks over the desk sending the financial books spilling into Byron's lap. "Do I look like someone who needs this raw sewage?" She pauses for breath briefly giving Byron and Arson time to recover. "Because I don't. I could be training for the World's Strongest Woman right now. I could have made the Olympic team, I don't need this."

Byron looks over to Arson who shrugs and looks just as bewildered. Karen reads the room and takes this as another slight. "I'm done." Aud tries to stop her, but she is shucked and hits the back of her head on the stone wall. When she rises she wobbles in an obvious concussive way to try and go after her but she takes a spill to the floor and Arson has to catch her. The boys gather round to spectate a possible fight but only get to see the fallout. Arson waves them off as Eva comes in and sees the carnage. "What happened?" Is all she gets out before Arson screams out at her. "Bilous flipped her lid about something and trashed the place." Eva dashes out into the car park in time to see her peel off. "$#^%" Is all she can say as she watches.

The 2 Legit match will be counted as a draw for the purposes of predicting. I made a very large game set up boo-boo and boy did the game bite me in the behind. It's fine though.
