[smear:#abcef5]Opening shots of Zaigon, Damon and America Jackson…
Flashing red on the blood shed during various matches…
Close up of the demented, red visage of a frenzied Damon Warrens…
Masuda in loaded onto a stretcher…
Jaime stands behind his lover, shaken to his core…
Harvey and Kayby have several exchanges during their match…
America and Chase throwing each other about the ring with ferocity…
A final shot of Zaigon Carter, America Jackson and Damon Warrens split three ways,
Each one of them marching towards the grandest prize in APW History…
There’s a final cut screen of the APW Championship and the American Title with lightning bolts…[/smear:#d0331f:0]

The Tokyo Dome comes alive with blue and silver lights strobing the entire arena. An international fan base has come out in full force for what is poised to be the last hurrah of a gran venture. Not a man, woman or child sits during the final ovation for the Mike Clearwater and Jonah St. Remington. They are gods among the people as each enters the ring with laptops and other ringside essentials—including their drinks of choice: Remi’s Powerade and Mikey’s diet soda—while playing up the fans around them.
The lights show at the Alpha-tron where large explosions kick off an impressive display of fire, sparks and other elements reminiscent of the bowels of hell. It grows to an epic crescendo before a large explosion hails out the surprisingly powerful gait of one Dani Applegate dressed to the nines. She enters the ring at Gods of wrestling carrying a clipboard whilst donning her best pair of specs.
Mike Clearwater: Welcome to Gods of Wrestling!
St. Remi: Quiet bro, Dani’s gonna say something!
She gets a mic, and after waiting for the crowd to get back to their seats, begins her address.
Dani Applegate: It seems that we’re at the final crossroads of Alpha Pro-Wrestling. Your APW, love it or hate it, is going away good friends. We realize this will not be an easy pill to swallow. I’m not taking it well either. APW has been my home for almost two years now… and I don’t know where else I’d rather be than with all of you in this grand moment.
Her words choke for a momentary lapse in the professional veil of journalism. Fans begin clapping for her, which only serves to make her eyes well up more than previously had. Dani regains composure on a minute later with what appears to be a docket in hand.
Dani Applegate: We still have a great show tonight. Titles will be decided. Heroes with triumph. And Gods shall rise… but not before we get to the matter on all of your minds: Where is Masuda Jubei?
Fans boo that out of memory.
Dani Applegate: Due to complications of his neck injury last week, Mr. Masuda remains in a Yokohama hospital. So by his personal decrees, I am to be his replacement during any time or turmoil.
Fans burst into elation. Dani welcomes the praise but also looks visibly shaken by this sacred charge.
Dani Applegate: Knowing a show of this grandeur and such magnitude, well, it required more than what I could do all myself in one night. So at this time, I want to thank all of ring crew in front and behind that curtain. All of them are the living, breathing body of this wonderful company. I will miss greeting them every day. Getting to chat about production during the show meetings. Makeup. Wardrobe. Every one of them is and will forever be in my heart.
Fans belt out a chant of “Thank you Dan-i!” with syncopated claps.
Dani Applegate: What am I saying—APW is all our homes! From day 1 we were on the map as a new promotion. One not caught in the riffraff of business… but that changed when Adam Dante sank his talons into Alpha Pro-Wrestling. Then he passed his tyrant’s rule onto Irina, then Ned, and finally, Masuda Jubei—arguably the worst of them all.
His name brings the entire audience to a growing moment of rage and grief. Although the overall sentiment across the board is incredibly positive by comparison.
Dani Applegate: Listen. The tyrants are dead or long on the run. They’re never coming back! Which means this can be our APW once again. So why don’t spend every dollar of the budget. Let’s bring the whole damn Tokyo Dome down with our voices tonight. And with that… there’s no other place I’d rather be than here, with you all, between these blue and gray ropes one. More. Time!
She raises the microphone as a Blue, silver and white streamers explode from confetti cannons.
Dani Applegate: I’ve come to realize that what makes this business as good as it can be—it’s the people that make it work. Something Masuda Jubei never allowed. Something Adam Dante suppressed because it was scared to compromise. Well I can—so I have someone to help me make tonight to make everything run as we should have all those months ago.
She turns towards the entrance ramp when “New Eden” hits with a great crescendo.
Mike Clearwater: It’s Jason Zurra! One of the original owners!
St. Remi: Oh man! Jubei’s blood must be boiling!
Zurra adores the applause as fans reach out to touch his aura. He wastes no time at the apron, meeting Dani at about an arm’s length. They shake hands. Fans shower their exit from the ring in streamers of all colors. It is glorious.
Mike Clearwater: So there you have it folks, one more for the books.
St. Remi: And no one but the heart of APW to keep it beating.
Mike Clearwater: Like us, Dani Applegate has been here since the moment we opened. I for one am excited to get this show going!
St. Remi: Same bro, but what about the GM?
Mike Clearwater: Ancient news, Jonah. Didn’t you hear? This show—one of the greatest in APW history—is Dani’s night. And unlike Masuda Jubei, she is going to do what’s best for this show and its fans!
St. Remi: Yeah, you’re right! Let’s do this one more time, Mikey-boy!
Mike Clearwater: Hell yeah!
They come onto screen long enough for those at home to see them shaking at the wrists like brothers. Read, flooding eyes show such passion for the brand both men defended from the headset. Remi holds a tighter, almost loving grip as both men suddenly embrace like brothers. They break away bewildered.
St. Remi: Huge show tonight!
Mike Clearwater: All titles are on the line!
St. Remi: No Championship is safe! No Champion is safe! This the end of an era!
Mike Clearwater: Wlecome to end… Welcome to Ragnarok!
