Live From: Walkup Skydome, Flagstaff, Arizona
Seating capacity: 11,230
Exclusive to NETFLIX
Mike Clearwater: Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen to another edition of Monday Night Metal, right here on Netflix! This week, we’re coming to you LIVE from the Walkup Skydome in Flagstaff, Arizona! And listen to this capacity crowd!
St. Remi: They are pumped, bro, and so am I! We’ve got a major card lined up here tonight! Charmaine (the God) is about to visit her Almighty wrath on WCF legend Luke Force! Or will it be the other way around? Will the rookie fall prey to the veteran?
Clearwater: Who can say, Remi? The Masuda Corporation is all over it tonight, too, starting with Allen Anderson going head to head with Johnny Blaze! The Tag Title Contenders face off against the unlikely duo of “Jazzy” John McCarty and Hardcore Champ Spartan in our first of two huge tag matches tonight!
Remi: And Masuda Jubei has promised a special exhibition featuring the newest addition to the Corporation -- I wonder who it can be?
Clearwater: You’ll have to wait and find out, Remi, just like the rest of us. We have a champion versus champion match as North American Champ Road Dawg squares off with a newly-reformed Steven Osbourne. Odin Balfore takes on the rarely-seen but reputedly dangerous Tommy Fiend! Our own Lucy Sixx will step into the ring with her biggest challenge to date, Big Bad Bodacious.
Remi: He IS Big, Mikey-bro. And Bad! Our co-main event features another tag team match as rookie sensation “Unstoppable” Noris Cranley and Dean Wolf team up against Tag Champs the Canadian Coalition, and you just have to wonder, bro -- is this some twisted mind game of Irina’s?
Clearwater: If I had to guess, Remi, I’d say probably so. But all that is secondary to the main event, which sees puts underdog Defenestration Jones directly across the ring from the Number One Contender to the World Championship, Smith Jones! And to up the stakes a little more, Masuda Jubei himself is the referee!
Remi: We can only expect shenanigans, bro. No way Jubei doesn’t use this to his advantage! In fact, I’ll bet --
Without warning, “Sgori (Burn)” by Stvore blasts through the arena, drawing immediate boos from the crowd. Dressed in somber charcoal grey with hints of crimson, a suit tailored to fit her flawless form, Irina Ivanova steps through the curtain, a microphone in hand.
Jessica Kaine: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the General Manager of Alpha Pro Wrestling... Irinaaa IVAAANOOOOVAAA!
She lets the noise and chaos swirl around her for several long moments, then raises a hand to silence the music. A few errant boos echo through the audience, but soon, those too die away.
Irina Ivanova: Thank you for your warm welcome. Adam and I are so gratified that the fans appreciate all we do to bring you the finest in wrestling week after week. And so, it fills me with pride to announce the lineup for our next Alpha Pro Wrestling pay-per-view -- Ascension!
The crowd pops for this, then settles down quickly.
Irina: Next Monday, August twenty-sixth, Ascension will take place in the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois! Every title will be defended! Lilianna Rose and Alex Scott finally get their chance at the Tag Team Champions, the Canadian Coalition -- IF the two of them can learn to work together! Steven Osbourne defends the Junior Heavyweight Title against the Shimmering Kitsune, Tsukiko! Hardcore Champion Spartan will face the man who earned his title shot at Alpha Showdown, Big Bad Bodacious! Bryan “Buzz” Worthy takes on Road Dawg for the North American Championship! And finally, after all this time, all this waiting… we get to see Smith Jones take his shot at winning the APW World Heavyweight Title from “the Master” Masuda Jubei!
Another pop from the fans punctuates each match announced, but the cheering grows to deafening volume at the mention of the Alpha Title match. The GM waits for things to settle again before she continues.
Irina: Oh, but that, as they say on late night television, is not all, comrades! Allen Anderson and Jaice Wilds will go toe-to-toe in a no-holds-barred, two out of three falls combat! But it gets better still -- ODIN BALFORE --
HUGE reaction from the fans at Odin’s name.
Irina: -- will, at last, face our own commissioner, Jason Zurra. Now, since this match involves management, and Comrade Zurra has brought this on himself, I cannot in any way sanction the match. So it will be an Unsanctioned Street Fight!
The crowd goes nuts for this announcement, cheering the bloodsport to come. Irina holds up her hand one again, gesturing for the fans to be quiet.
Irina: And last, but definitely not least, a special match for the ones not already booked. A Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Match! The winning team receives a future shot at the APW Tag Team Championships! But there’s a catch -- nobody will know their partner until they step into the ring on the night of Ascension! See you all in Chicago, one week from tonight!
With that, her music hits again, and Ivanova disappears into the back.
Clearwater: Wow! What a bombshell announcement! Fans, we have to take a quick commercial break, but we’ll be right back to begin tonight’s action!
