MONDAY NIGHT METAL S01/E10 09/16/19 *COMPLETE*

Jessica Kaine: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Coming to the ring, hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada… weighing in at one hundred and ten pounds… she is one half of Fourgasm… she is Kylie Moore

The lights in the arena go out as the letters "S.L.U.T." appear on the tron.

"'ma do just what I want on the regular
And it's really not my fault if you're scared of a
Sweet little unforgettable thing, unforgettable
Sweet little unforgettable thing, so incredible
Know that I'm not sorry, I'm just loving my body
I don't care if you scared of a sweet little unforgettable thing"

Kylie Moore dances to the beat as the fans cheer loudly! She walks down the ramp swinging her hips seductively with each step. She slides into the ring and prepares for the arrival of her opponent, Alex Scott, still rolling her hips as the music fades away.

Jessica: And her opponent, hailing from Anaheim, California… weighing in at an even two hundred pounds… it is The Answer… The Gift… The Future… THE ALL! DAY! SUPERSTAR! ALEX! SCOTT!

"Fight Like the Devil" begins, and there is a brief murmuring of fans. As the song picks up, Alex Scott parts the curtain, a look of focus and minor indifference on his face. He shows very little emotion, walking to the ring in his hooded sweatshirt, tights and boots. He hits the ring, uses the ropes the stretch, and then sits on the top turnbuckle, mentally preparing himself to wrestle.

Alex Scott points at Kylie Moore as he jumps off the turnbuckle. Moore puts her hands behind her head and swivels her hips to counter.

DING! DING! DING!

Remi: This is mismatch here. Scott will have his way with Moore.

Clearwater: I don’t think that’s appropriate language, Remi.

Remi: What? I was just encouraging my man to beat this woman.

Clearwater: REMI!

Remi: WHAT!

Alex Scott and Kylie Moore engage in what is commonly seen as the regular courtship ritual of two wrestlers testing the waters - that is the collar and elbow tie-up. Scott gets the early advantage and starts backing Moore up towards the ropes, but Moore slips out of the hold and takes Scott’s wrist around his back in a hammerlock and wrenches down. Scott drops to his knees, while struggling against the hold, reaches up with his free hand and flips Kylie Moore over his shoulder with a snap mare takeover, breaking the hammerlock hold in the process.

Remi: Yeh, BRO!

Scott shakes his arm out, and Kylie Moore is quickly to her feet. Moore uses some impressive athleticism and nails Scott with a dropkick that sends him staggering backwards but doesn’t knock him off his feet. Moore presses forward with her advantage and leaps onto Scott’s shoulders.

Clearwater: You still so sure about your Bro?

Moore attempts to take Scott to the mat with a hurricanrana, but Scott holds her weight and she flips down. He lifts her back up into the powerbomb position.

Remi: Damn Straight!

Moore starts striking on Scott’s head with her fists, but Scott just sits down and drops her back and head first into the canvas with a sitdown powerbomb that gives the appearance of perfect brutality. Scott goes for the cover.

Remi: THIS!

ONE!

Remi: IS!

TWO!

Clearwater: NOT OVER!

KICKOUT!

Moore finds her wits and gets her shoulder up just in time. Scott turns and starts arguing with the friendly referee known as Spanky O’Shaughnessy. But Spanky is clear it was only a two count. Scott picks Moore up and whips her into the far turnbuckle. Scott charges in, but Moore gets a foot up and Scott runs right into it. Moore props herself up onto the top turnbuckle and launches at Scott, connecting with a fascinating flying european uppercut. Scott is knocked on his ass by the mouth.

Clearwater: Kylie Moore is taking it to the young rookie.

Remi: She doesn’t know that he is a better version of humanity that she is.

Moore drops a leg quickly on Scott and then runs to the ropes she spring herself onto the second rope and comes off with a moonsault…

Clearwater: Knees UP!

Remi: That is why Alex Scott is just BETTER!

Scott rolls over and pushes himself up, while Moore stays down clutching at her ribs. Scott watches as she slowly starts to get to her feet.

Clearwater: Scott is taking his time here. It could cost him dearly against such a decorated veteran as Kylie Moore.

Remi: A lion sizing up his prey. That what he is. King of the Jungle...

Clearwater: Well, he's certainly on the prowl tonight!

Moore rushes in, looking to take Alex by surprise, but he's ready. Scott stops Kylie with a kick to the gut, then wraps her up in a front facelock.

Remi: Veteran or not, this is not where Kylie Moore wants to be right now! He lifts her onto his shoulders in that fisherman position, I think we know what's coming next!

Clearwater: Nobody asked, but Alex Scott has THE ANSWER!

Scott drives Moore down to the canvas with that fisherman driver variant and immediately rolls her up.

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

DING DING DING!

Jessica: And your winner -- The All-Day Superstar, ALEX SCOTT!!!

"Fight Like the Devil" hits the speakers as Alex Scott climbs the turnbuckles, posing to a big pop from the crowd. As Moore slips under the ropes, he celebrates his victory.

Remi: That's my boi! Alex Scott picks up a huge upset victory tonight in Dayton, Ohio!

Jessica Kaine: Entering first, hailing from Los Angeles, California… standing six foot five… and weighing in at two hundred and sixty five pounds… he is SPARTAN!!

“Unstoppable” by For the Fallen Dreams begins to echo over the Wright State University Nutter Center’s PA system. The arena goes black and then strobes begin flashing in a seemingly random pattern over the crowd before focusing on the entrance way. Spartan appears in his in-ring attire, as the flashing stops, with a single beam focused on him. Spartan raises his arms out beside his body and roars, before the arena flashes into darkness and then the lights quickly return to normal. Spartan runs to the ring - he leaps onto the apron in a single jump and grabs the top rope and slings himself into the ring over the top rope. He rolls the landing and explodes to a turnbuckle opposite him. He climbs and raises both fists in the air and the crowd cheers.

Spartan gives Jessica Kaine a friendly greeting hug and takes the microphone from her.

Spartan: How about them Rowdy Raiders!

The crowd roars its approval at Spartan’s mention of Wright State’s team. He smiles and continues to speak.

Spartan: So last week, I put my heart and soul in a match with crazy stipulations and I was able to best a mighty athlete in Allen Anderson. And my reward is a North American Title shot against Road Dawg at Supremacy.

Spartan walks around the ring as he talks.

Spartan: To be honest, I consider it an honour to be rewarded with such a title shot. Every man and woman that fights here in Alpha Pro Wrestling is deserving to carry those belts and now I have an opportunity to put another strap around my waist. This is an opportunity I will not waste. I will not shirk my responsibility and putting it all on the line to win the Alpha Pro Wrestling North American Title… Road Dawg, you came into Alpha Pro with a history of kicking ass and ignoring names. That attitude saw you become the inaugural Champion. You took down you first challenger in Buzz Worthy by simply doing what you do.

Spartan stops walking around the ring and leans on the ropes facing the entrance.

Spartan: By stomping mudholes and walking them dry. But let me tell you Dawg, that won’t be me at Supremacy. I will face you up, stare you down and then we will throw down and until the energy is gone from our bodies.

Spartan stands tall.

Spartan: One of us will reign Supreme.

Spartan walks over to Jessica Kaine.

Spartan: Now send out tonight’s opponents.

Spartan hands the microphone back to Jessica Kaine.

(Recap)

All four competitors started out strong, and it didn’t take long for this one to devolve into an all-out brawl. Once order was reestablished, Dread and Blaze seemed to find their previous camaraderie, and teamed up to lay waste to Osbourne and Spartan. But both men refused to stay down, and a combined effort from Oz and Spartan laid Dread out on the ringside mats, and left Blaze with his bell ringing. The Super Pious Praying Slayer took on Hell’s Soldier at ringside, much to the delight of fans, as the two men battled it out, slamming each other into posts, steps, crowd barriers, and the ring apron. Spartan and Blaze, meanwhile, took each other to their very limits inside the ropes, using the most powerful moves in their respective arsenals. The balance of power went back and forth numerous times, with each man scoring three near-falls apiece. Blaze shook off an onslaught of suplexes, and Spartan survived a Hell Ride before nailing the Spear into his signature Revolutionizer for the pin.

Winner: Spartan

Lilianna Rose vs Tsukiko (c)

Jessica Kaine: The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL and is for the Alpha Pro Wrestling Junior Heavyweight Championship! First to the ring… from the Bronx, New York -- LILIANNA ROSE!

“Nightmare” by Halsey hits the speakers as Lilianna Rose saunters onto the stage, pausing to take in the crowd’s reaction to her appearance. With a haughty step, she makes her way down the aisle, ignoring the hands reaching out to her, pushing away phones held out for selfies, and climbs the ring steps. She slips between the ropes and climbs the turnbuckles, leaning out to taunt the fans.

Clearwater: What a whirl month it has been for Lilianna Rose. First her longtime partner and friend Kylie Moore makes a return to our beloved sport and the two of them reform Fourgasm!

Remi: Ya got that right partner, but let's not forget that those icons triumphed over a game team in Quintessential Perfection at Jubeilation!

Clearwater: Right you are, but now Lilianna is on her own once more and it's one heck of an opportunity!

Remi: Heck yeah! She has a shot at the APW Junior Heavyweight Championship!

The lights in the arena dim down as all attention became focused on the entrance; there the titantron lit up with an image of a moon brilliantly shining bright as the slow melodic beginning of Alddious' "We Are" began to play throughout the building. That would carry on till the song picked up at the 27-second mark. When it did the moon on the titantron shattered into hundreds of pieces before shifting to a flurry of clips of a woman hitting various high-risk moves and bone shattering filled the screen one after another. That would carry on until the heavenly vocals began to echo throughout the arena, and when they did the camera (and the attention of the crowd) shifted to a woman wearing a fox mask standing center stage. All the while white and silver tinted light flashed seamlessly and endlessly.

I suffered one day.
I cried one night
Crouching alone looking
like a pupa glowing

Hoping one day to
find something true
I keep on flying high
I won't let you regret

As the vocals continued, the masked woman would hop in place and shake out her hands. That is, until the first of three "We Are"s of the song hit. When they did, the woman stopped hopping and quickly grabbed onto the mask she wore in dramatic fashion. When the second "We Are" hi, the woman titled her mask covered face down. Finally, after the third "We Are", the woman abruptly tilted her head back up and slid the mask off of her face to reveal herself as The Shimmering Kitsune {Kirameku Kitsune} Tsukiko! With her identity now revealed, the crowd loudly began to cheer their support for the young Japanese woman! However, despite the ruckus, a nearby camera managed to pick Tsukiko's voice as she shouted out in excitement over the overwhelming support.

Tsukiko:
"Takakautame ni jikan!"
{Time to Fight!}

Jessica: And her opponent; From Kyoto, Japan. She is the APW Junior Heavyweight Champion...The Shimmering Kitsune, Tsuuuuuuuuukiiiiiiiiiikoooooooo!

With the ring announcer making her official introduction, Tsukiko placed the fox mask back on her head (only it was angled off to the side) and began the walk down to the ring. Along the way, she went about interacting with various members of the crowd. The gentle slapping of hands in the universal high-five. he occasional fist bump. A hug or two. All of these happened along the way as she zig-zagged from one side of the ramp to the other until she reached the ringside area. It was there that she began walking to the steps closest to her, but came to a stop before she ascended. After taking a moment to look out at the sold-out crowd, Tsukiko slid the fox mask off of her head and turned to those that were in the front row that was closest to her position. It was then that she stepped over to the barricade and handed off her mask to a young fan before darting up the steps and between the ropes into the ring.

Clearwater: I’ll be honest folks; I still can’t believe what she did at Jubeilation to Smith Jones.

Remi: She clocked him in the head with that Moon Breaker of her’s. Seemed pretty straight forward.

Clearwater: Yeah, but why? Why attack Smith Jones?

Remi: I don’t know bro. Maybe you should go ask her?

Clearwater: I think I’ll pass partner.

After having made sure that neither woman had anything on their person that might be considered a weapon, the referee called for the bell.


With The echo of the bell still hanging in the air, both women quickly make their way out of their respective corners and locked up in the middle of the ring. However, it is Tsukiko’s slight power advantage that allows her to take control by pulling a feisty Lilianna into a headlock. Being quick of wit, Lilianna quicklys forces Tsukiko backwards into the ropes before freeing herself with a hard shove as the two of them rebounded back. Unfortunately, she wasn’t ready for the shoulder tackle when Tsukiko rebounded back once more. Yet, the Fourgasm member wasn’t going to be kept down as she rolled onto her stomach to force Tsukiko to hop over her as she came back for a third rebound; then Lilianna was leapfrogging Tsukiko as she kept going; before finally catching the APW Junior Heavyweight Champion with a quick hip toss!

Clearwater: What a beautiful sequence by Lilianna to escape Tsukiko’s grasp!

Remi: You got that right, but something doesn’t feel right.

Clearwater: Huh?

Opting to not press her newfound advantage over the Champion, Lilianna allowed Tsukiko to get back to her feet; giving her the old two finger salute when she had. However, instead of rising to the bait of her disrespectful challenger, Tsukiko kept her face a mask of stone as she offered to lock up once more. With her confidence on high, Lilianna stepped in to accept the open invitation; only to eat a quick palm strike to the face!

Clearwater: Tsukiko answers back with a sudden palm strike and Lilianna is stunned!

Remi: No she isn’t, Lili charges forward with clothesline!

Clearwater: Only to be on the receiving end of a Japanese armdrag by the Champ!

Remi: This is why you don’t take Alpha Pro’s Spitfire Fox lightly!

However, Lilianna didn’t stay down for long and soon she was back up on her feet. With a quick change to her game plan, Lilianna charged forward and grabbed Tsukiko by the hair before firing off several forearm shots in rapid succession. Having learned her lesson about pressing her advantage, Lilianna quickly followed up with a snap suplex and a sudden snap DDT as Tsukiko tried to scramble back up to her feet. It was here that she went for the first cover of the match.

Clearwater: ONE!

Remi: TWO!

Clearwater: Tsukiko with a shoulder up after that offensive flurry of Lilianna’s!

Remi: That girl has a fire in her belly tonight! I love it!

Pulling Tsukiko up to her feet, Lilianna planted a few more stiff forearms shots to the Champion’s face before whipping her across the ring and into a corner. From there the young woman charged across the ring, leapt into the air, and sent the Japanese starlet flipping through the air with a monkey flip out of the corner! It was here, as Tsukiko lay prone upon the canvas, the Lilianna charged the ropes and went for a middle rope springboard moonsault (or a lionsault as some would have it)! However, Tsukiko managed to bring her knees up and Lilianna came crashing down upon them with such force that the air was forced from her lungs!

Clearwater: OOF! What a counter!

Remi: WHat did I say about counting her out?

Unable to breathe properly, Lilianna began to pull herself up with the aid of the ropes. However, Tsukiko quickly cut her challenger off with a wild tiger feint kick that sent Lilianna sprawling out onto the canvas! Still far from out of this match, Lilianna scrambled back up to her feet only to eat a spinning springboard heel kick to the face!

Clearwater: SHE GOT IT! REALITY DISTORTION!

Remi: Tsu going for the pin!

Clearwater: ONE!

Remi: TWO!

Clearwater: LILIANNA WITH A SHOULDER UP!

Remi: WE GOT OURSELVES A FIGHT!

Undeterred, Tsukiko quickly pulled Lilianna back up to her feet only for the woman to slap her arms away before hopping back and connecting with a superkick from out of nowhere! However, that didn’t knock the Champion down; it only stunned her. Yet, that was more than enough to allow an adrenaline fueled Lilianna to drop Tsukiko down to a knee with a low dropkick before following up with a wicked shining wizard!

Clearwater: THORN IN THE SIDE! LILIANNA HIT IT!

Remi: ANOTHER COVER!

Clearwater: ONE!

Remi: TWO!

Clearwater: NO! TSUKIKO GETS A SHOULDER UP ONCE MORE!

Remi: WHY ARE WE YELLING SO MUCH?

Clearwater: CAUSE THIS IS AWESOME!

Lilianna is up to her feet once more and she is looking out at the crowd asking them if they want to see her beautiful shining wizard one more time. Of course, being the blood thirsting gladiatorial people fans of Alpha Pro were; they screamed for more! With expert precision, Lilianna lined up her shot one more time; only to be met with an explosive bicycle knee strike ash she charged forward!

Clearwater: Here we go folks. Thorn in the si- MOON BREAKER! FROM OUT OF NOWHERE TSUKIKO CAUGHT HER!

Remi: SHE’S GOING FOR THE PIN!

Clearwater: ONE!

Remi: TWO!

Clearwater/St. Remi: THREE!

However, before Jessica Kaine could announce the victor of the contest, Waiting for the ENd by Linkin Park hits the system as an extremely disgruntled Smith Jones charges out from backstage and down to the ring. Unfortunately for him, Tsukiko manages to roll out of the ring just as he slides in; effectively escaping his clutches.

Clearwater: It Smith Jones! What do you think he’s after partner?

Remi: Looking for some payback after what happened at Jubeilation most likely.

The camera fades out as the two eye each other from their respective locations. Smitty from the ring, empty handed and looking for a fight; Tsukiko, from the ramp with her Alpha Pro Junior Heavyweight Championship in her arms.

Clearwater: Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to Monday Night Metal here in Dayton, Ohio! If you’re just joining us, this is a rather solemn night. It seems that our World Champion -- Masuda Jubei -- suffered a fatal injury during his performance at Corey Black’s XIII event, and --

“Sgori (Burn)” by Stvore hits the speakers to a halfhearted boo from the audience. Dressed in somber black, APW General Manager Irina Ivanova steps from behind the curtain, microphone in hand, and walks gracefully to the edge of the stage.

Irina Ivanova: A moment of silence, please. Our champion has fallen.

Lowering the microphone, she folds her hands in front of her, eyes downcast, for a few seconds before raising her head to look out over the crowd.

Irina: Of course, he was performing at another event, for another company -- but I’m not saying this is, hm, Karma or anything. Only that, for all the risks we take, at least I can guarantee the safety of my athletes at my events. Nevertheless, this industry has lost a legend. And my company has lost a champion. And Mr. Smith Jones has lost his chance at revenge against his rival. It’s up to me to put these things right. So with that in mind, the APW World Heavyweight Championship is hereby officially vacant -- and vacant it will remain, until a worthy successor claims the title at this month’s Supremacy pay-per-view.

The crowd reacts with uncertainty at this news. A murmur ripples through the audience.

Irina: Now, now… patience. You see, Mr. Smith Jones deserves another bite at the apple, so to speak. But he is not the only competitor who has worked hard, week after week, to prove himself. Therefore, while Mr. Smith Jones will remain Number One Contender going into Supremacy -- he will not lack an opponent. Next week, on Monday Night Metal, we will hold a memorial match to determine who will face Smith Jones on September 30th, with the APW World Title on the line!

A more enthusiastic pop from the fans this time.

Irina: And to you, Masuda Jubei, wherever you are, rest in peace you говноед.

Without further comment, the Red Angel lowers the microphone, turns on her heel, and stalks backstage again.

Clearwater: What a stunning announcement! The World Title will be contested at Supremacy, just two weeks after the tragedy that took Masuda Jubei’s life!

Remi: The show must go on, my dude.
