{A black screen. After some time, we get a recap of last week's events, showing all the winners and losers of the first round. We switch to a shot of the brackets, and finally, we cut from that to a live wide shot of the audience as they cheer wildly as "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera playings We go to Troy and Duke, already sitting down.}
Troy Franklin: Hello everyone, and welcome to Ladies All-Star Wrestling, I'm Troy Franklin along side Duke King, here to call the action live from Evansville, as the tournament to crown the first L.A.W. World champion rolls on.
Duke King: That's right Troy, we saw upsets, we saw domination, we saw classic wrestling, we had a lot of stuff going on, and tonight, we're in for round 2
Troy Franklin: But in addition to the tournament, we have a battle royal, and those can get crazy. But we're going to kick things off with three, yes, three lovely ladies making their debut right now
Beth Harris: The following match is a triple threat debutants match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from London England she is the Black Widow Amy Drew!!!
{Freak Like Me by Haelstorm begins to blast across the speakers as Amy Drew makes their way to the ring.}
Beth Harris: Introducing next from Albuquerque New Mexico Juliet Brooks
{As "Sexy" blasts through the PA system, Juliet steps out on the stage, flashing her pearly whites, much to everyone's delight. The beautiful figure in gold surveys the audience in attendance tonight. She walks halfway down the ramp and greets her people. As she nears the ring, she is hoping to get a good reaction. She gets in the ring and paces, ready for the start of the match.}
Beth Harris: And from Belfast Ireland she is the weather girl Fiona Williams!!!!!
{“Make It Rain” by Fat Joe & Lil’ Wayne begins to play loudly all throughout the arena. As it does we are able to see Todd Williams and Fiona walking from the back. Fiona is holding an umbrella in her hand and she pops it open. As it does 100 dollar bills begin to flow from the ceiling. She uses the umbrella to keep them from hitting Todd and her. Todd smiles as he wraps his arm around Fiona’s and the two of them slowly make their way to the ring. Fiona twirls her umbrella in circles as Todd laughs at the fans booing them. She slides into the ring and hands her umbrella to Todd. She pulls down on her booty shorts a bit spanking them as she waits for the match to start.}
Troy Franklin: Well here we go triple threat debutants match. These three are all eager to be here but only one will emerge victorious
Duke King: Let’s see which one of these ladies are going to break out of their shell and bring home the win.
{The match starts off with the three girls staring at one another. The crowd begins to cheer loudly as they all meet in the center of the ring. Fiona however sends a leg in between Amy’s legs and Amy reaches in between her legs as Fiona let’s a wicked grin escape her lips.}
Troy Franklin: That was uncalled for.
Duke King: But in these matches contested under triple threat rules, there are no rules. So everything is legal.
{Fiona grins as she grabs Amy and tosses her out of the ring before clapping her hands together. However she forgot about Juliet being apart of the match and as soon as Fiona turns around she is caught by a shining wizard to the face. The kick sends Fiona straight to the mat and the Irish born wrestler begins to reach up at her face in pain .Juliet helps Fiona up to her feet and she immediately kicks her in the gut before driving her right into the confines of the mat with a ddt. Fiona is laid out as Juliet makes the cover. One….Two…. Amy quickly hops inside the ring as she breaks up the pin. Amy is standing tall now as she lays some boots into Juliet. She yanks her up to her feet by the hair and whips her towards the corner. Amy runs at her in the corner and nails her with a splash. She pulls herself over the ropes as she connects with a tarantula.}
Troy Franklin: What a great use of a submission move.
Duke King: But it’s outside of the ring. You can’t win this match by being outside.
{Fiona finally makes it to her feet and when Amy slides back into the ring Fiona nails Amy with a dropkick that sends her against Juliet. Fiona backs away before she comes sprinting out of the corner with a drop kick attempt. Amy moves, and at the last second Juliet moves as well as Fiona’s legs hit the ropes. Fiona hit’s the mat with a loud thud as Amy and Juliet both grab Fiona and send her down to the mat with a double suplex. Amy quickly lifts Juliet up as she holds her in the air for a Widows peak but she slips out of Juliet’s grip as she lands on her feet and launches a drop kick that sends Amy out of the ring. Fiona rises back up and that is when Juliet nails Fiona with a butterfly kick. Fiona goes down to the mat as Juliet hooks the leg…. One….Two….Three…..}
Troy Franklin: She did it! She did it!
Duke: Looks like we have ourselves a winner!
Beth Harris: And the winner of this match as a result of a pin fall…. Juliet Brooks!!!!!
{“Bitch” hits the sound system and a wave of fans immediately stands to their feet as Morgan Alvertez steps out from the back. She flips her hair over the shoulder, squints her eyes, and staring at the fans as if they are nowhere near her prestige. They boo her as she tilts her head down and Crystal Taylor walks out to her side. She raises Morgan’s left wrist as Morgan points to her chest after circling her waist. Crystal releases Morgan’s wrist and the pair of divas proceed down the ramp while the fans continue to boo them. As Morgan and Crystal reach the bottom of the ramp, Crystal pauses and stares from right to left as she scowls at their presences.}
Beth Harris: Introducing first – From Tampa, Florida, weighing in at 110 pounds, “The Vixen” Morgan Alvertez!
{Morgan walks to the steel stairs and slowly creeps up the three steps. She walks along the ring apron and stops in the middle before lowering down, and going underneath the second rope. After entering the ring, she raises her arms and starts to motion down to her with two fingers as Crystal walks along ringside clapping and cheering for Morgan Alvertez. While Morgan continues to bask in her own spotlight, her theme is cut off as her opponent’s music immediately starts to play. She looks up at ramp with a look of anger as she kneels down over the second rope and begins to talk “game” with Crystal.}
Tony Franklin: We’re in for a showdown here tonight folks, as Morgan looks completely ready to begin this match. I would suspect that she wants to make a quick show of this tonight.
Duke King: You ain’t kiddin’ Tony. But if I were her opponent, I’d try to make this match anything but quick, if you catch my drift.
{“Monster by Paramore” begins to blast all over the speakers. As it does so we are able to see Kate Steele-Warren emerge on the entrance ramp. She has a guitar in her hand but she doesn’t even bother to strum at it. She shows absolutely no emotion before she decides to hand her guitar to her husband Todd Warren who escorts her. She walks down to the ring locked in a trance as fans eagerly stretch out their arms to get the redhead to slap their hands. However what they get in return is nothing. No screaming, no reaction, just Kate simply walking to the ring. Todd smiles as he takes her place and tries to slap their hands but the fans pull back as they give him dirty looks.}
Beth Harris: And her opponent – also from Tampa, Florida, and also weighing in at 110 pounds, Kate Steele!
{She finally makes her way to the ring and once she gets there she quickly slides into the ring. The fans roar with Steele chants but she just bounces around for a bit not acknowledging them as her mind is focus on the match itself.}
Tony Franklin: And these two ladies are pretty evenly matched as they are almost identical in size.
Duke King: Identical in size, maybe. But I have to give the edge to Morgan in this match.
Tony Franklin: What makes you say that Duke?
Duke King: The fact that she always makes me stand at attention Tony.
Tony Franklin: I don’t think I’m going to touch that comment with a ten foot pole. Well, here we go folks, this match is just about to get underway!
{The two women circle the ring, eying each other up before finally locking up in the middle. Kate tries to push Morgan back, but Morgan is able to use her slight height advantage for leverage as she holds her ground and delivers a stiff front right kick to Kate’s midsection. Without hesitation Morgan spins to one side and drives Kate into the mat face first with a snap drop toe hold. She flaunts to the crowd for a moment before stepping on the hair on each side of Kate’s head. Kate tries to rise to her feet, but as soon as she does and realizes that she is being held by her hair she reaches back instinctively. Morgan uses the opportunity to pull up on her arms, causing her to cry out in pain.}
Tony Franklin: And a brutal maneuver there by Morgan. She has Kate quite literally between a rock and a hard place.
Duke King: I agree, she’s definitely accustomed to being on top!
{After being warned by the ref to break the hold, Morgan places her boot on the back of Kate’s head and smashes her face first back onto the mat. Kate begins to crawl toward the ropes and Morgan is hot on her heels, stalking her like prey. As Kate begins to stand up Morgan moves in to strike again. She places Kate in a headlock and goes for a springboard bulldog, but Kate is able to break free and throw Morgan onto her back with a loud thud. Morgan slides up to her feet, holding her lower back, and is met with a springboard crossbody the moment she turns around to face her opponent. Kate charges to her feet, with Morgan not far behind her. Just as Morgan is able to establish her footing, Kate begins to unleash a series of martial arts kicks all over her body, finished off by a pele kick that sends Morgan spiraling down to her knees.}
Tony Franklin: What a series of kicks by Kate Steele! Just when we were wondering when we were going to see some offense, she explodes like a cannon.
Duke King: Let me tell you what’s offensive Tony, the fact that management thought I couldn’t handle refereeing this match.
{Kate pulls Morgan to her feet and whips her into the corner. She charges in for a yakuza kick, but Morgan is able to roll to the side at the last second. Kate gets her foot caught on the top rope for just a second, but it’s long enough for Morgan to capitalize. Morgan delivers a stiff kick right to the inner thigh of Kate’s left leg, causing her to crumble to the mat with a cry of pain. Morgan picks her back up and tosses her hair first into the corner where she proceeds to choke her with her foot. The referee warns her and begins a five count, but he doesn’t even make it to four before Morgan lets go. Morgan turns around and blows a kiss to the crowd as Kate falls face first to the mat like a limp sack of potatoes. Morgan goes for the cover.1...2...kickout!}
Duke King: Did you catch that Tony? Morgan blew me a kiss!
Tony Franklin: Keep telling yourself that Duke. That was a close fall by Morgan! I thought for a second that she had this match in the bag.
{Morgan leaps up to her feet and wastes no time on her opponent. She picks Kate up and hits her with a stiff scoop slam right next to the corner. She then climbs the turnbuckle where she attempts a top rope ladies elbow. Right before she connects, Kate throws her shoulder across her body and is able to roll out of the way, causing Morgan to eat canvas! The crowd leaps to their feet and they begin a deafening roar as Kate begins to rise. Morgan makes her way to her feet and charges at Kate with a clothesline, but Kate is able to turn it into a float over DDT! Both competitors lay on the mat, gassed and looking for the will to continue.}
Tony Franklin: And both ladies are down! This match has been amazing and have certainly taken a lot out of each competitor.
Duke King: I gotta tell you Tony, I’m quite disappointed with what I’m seeing. I thought these girls would last a lot longer than this.
{"As the girls lay on the mat, The crowd boos as Kandi Washington walks down the aisle. As the girls both get up, Morgan nails Kate with a clothesline. Morgan turns and sees Kandi and smirks, challenging her to step in to the ring. She steps back and stomps Kate again, before continuing to jaw with Kandi. Kandi only smirks as Morgan turns back and Kate hits her with a blow to the gut. Then another, then another. And then Morgan rakes the eyes of Kate to stun her. Morgan turns to Kandi and motions she's going to end the match, then charges a binded Kate, but Kate is able to drop down and lift her over her shoulder. She then positions Morgan and drops her down with the Punk Driver! [White Noise] Kate covers, hooking the leg. 1....2....3! }
Troy Franklin: And Kate Steele has pulled off a major upset!
Duke King: This is all Kandi's fault!
Troy Franklin: Morgan took her eye off the ball, and she paid for it.
{We cut back to Kandi laughing in the aisle, and Morgan fuming as Kate's hand is raised in victory. Kate slides out of the ring and begins slapping fan hands and climbs over the guardrail and into the crowd to celebrate.}
Troy Franklin: It's a night of surprises no doubt! Kate Steele is headed to the semi finals to face either Miss Michelle or Lilith Maddox!
{"Mistress of the Night" by Lucyfire replaces the silence and Lilith Maddox, accompanied by Angelique Dobson make their way to the ring with their eerie entrance. Angelique stops and motions for Lilith to enter the ring and she does so. She slowly rises as the music cuts out}
Troy Franklin: This odd couple went 1-1 last week, Lilith did advance after stealing one from Danica Jones, but Angelique was disqualified against Crystal Taylor.
Duke King: It wasn't easy last week, and it's not going to get any easier this week.
{Her music cuts out as "Queen of the Riech" begins and Miss Michelle, the confident leggy lady wrestler parts the curtain to loud cheers. She confidently strides down the aisle, before climbing up the steps and getting into the ring}
Troy Franklin: And Michelle a little more cautious this week after Violet attacked her before the match started. Not going to fall for that twice.
{The bell sounds and the two circle, each looking for an opening, before they lock up. Lilith is a little stronger and pushes Michelle back into the corner, and breaks cleanly. Michelle and Lilith again circle, and lock up, and Michelle this time uses leverage and takes Lilith to the mat with a headlock. Grinding for all she's worth, she pins Lilth's shoulders to the mat. 1...Lilith raises her shoulder. Lilith swings her legs towards Michelle's head, locking for a leg scissors, but Michelle gets her arm up to block. Michelle switches to a front face lock to keep Lilith grounded, but Lilith reverses into a hammerlock, then floats into a front face lock of her own. Michelle is able to reverse out again, and reclaim her front face lock, but Lilith gets to her feet, and spins into an arm wringer, but then begins vicious kicks to the left leg of Michelle. A series of three kicks drops Michelle to the mat, clutching her leg.}
Troy Franklin: And here's where the long legs of Michelle can hurt her in this match.
Duke King: You're seeing Lilith zero in on that leg, She's really going to town now.
{Lilith begins stomping at the back of the knee of Michelle, causing her to yell in pain with each kick. Michelle scoots on the mat to create some distance, but Lilith steps on her leg, and kicks her again. Lilith positions her leg on the ropes, and then jumps up and stomps on her knee joint. Michelle rolls around in pain as the referee admonishes Lilith about using the ropes. Lilith moves back in, but gets a headbutt to the gut, stopping her momentarily. Lilith tries to go for Michelle's leg again, but Michelle moves around to keep herself in front of Lilith, protecting her leg. Lilith simply grabs a handful of hair and slams Michelle's face into the canvas, enabling her to lock in a leg bar on the injured leg of Michelle.}
Troy Franklin: And Lilith is just relentless now.
Duke King: It's a sound strategy Troy. Lilith is dangerous when she has a gameplan.
{Michelle yells in pain and tries to keep her shoulders off the mat. She pulls at Lilith's hair, but the referee forces her to let go. Lilith then turns into a series of spinning toe holds, trying to get a submission. Michelle refuses to give up, but yells in pain with each turn. Michelle finally uses her free right leg to push Lilith off of her, and get a little bit of breathing room. She gets to the corner as Lilith moves back in, but a kick to the gut with Michelle's good leg slows her down. Michelle kicks again, and gets a little more room. She tries to stand, but Lilith is right there to kick her and drop her again.}
Troy Franklin: This isn't looking good right now for Miss Michelle.
Duke King: She's had very little offense in this match, and if she doesn't turn it around soon, Lilith may just destroy that leg.
{Lilith looks at Angelique on the outside, who nods in approval. Lilith goes to pick up Michelle after dragging her out of the corner, but Michelle surprises her with a small package! 1....2.....3!}
Troy Franklin: Holy heck! Did Michelle just win?!
Duke King: That happened so fast!
{"Queen of the Reich" plays again, and Michelle's arm is raised, but she lays on the mat in pain. Angelique quickly hops up on the apron, and enters the ring with a pipe. Lilith quickly pushes the referee down as Angelique stomps a fallen Michelle. Lilith kicks the ref in the crotch, and they quickly turn their attention to Michelle.}
Troy Franklin: What is this about?! Somebody stop this!
{Lilith then grabs a hold a Michelle's leg and holds her down. Angelique raises the pipe and as Roxi Johnson comes running down the ramp with a steel chair! Roxi slides in just in time, saving Michelle as }
Troy Franklin: Thank goodness for Roxi Johnson.
{Angelique and Lilith laugh and smile as they back up the ramp as Roxi makes room for the medical staff to enter the ring.}
Troy Franklin: Those two are disgraceful.
Duke King: I'm a little more concerned about Michelle, Her leg was really injured during the match.
{Michelle is in pain, clutching her leg. Roxi and the medical staff assist her, and help her to the back.}
{The bell sounds for the next match as "Cult of Personality" blares over the PA as "The Anti-Diva" Ambyr Foxx soon parts the curtain and begins a slow, methodical walk to the ring. Unlike most who go up the steps, Ambyr slides into the ring and stands and raises her arms to the crowd, drawing boos. She takes off her jacket and begins testing out the ropes.}
Troy Franklin: Ambyr won decisively last week against Keira Fisher, if she can have a repeat performance tonight, she'll be making Carmen Diaz look like a prophet.
Duke King: But she'll be facing Crystal Taylor, who we didn't get to see the best of last week against Angelique Dobson, but she'll be looking to make an impact tonight.
{“All About Me” hits the sound system and pink lights start flickering throughout the arena while the fans stand up in a wave of boos as Crystal Taylor playfully dashes out from the back. She struts down the ramp while placing her hands in the back of hair and smirking at the crowd who shows her a negative reaction. Crystal stops down at the bottom and leans down as she fixes her bright pink knee pads before standing up. She dashes to the ring apron and she sets her right leg upon the side as she kneels up, shaking her little butt, and tilting her head back shaking her hair loosely. She does not stand completely up as she then goes underneath the second rope and enters the ring. She dashes over to the corner turnbuckle and climbs to the second rope. She points to her chest and starts clapping while saying, “come on Crystal,” but the fans continue to boo her. Crystal steps down off the ring apron and starts twirling her neck and stretching her arms as she roams around the ring.}
Troy Franklin: And here we go.
{The two lock up and neither gives an inch. Ambyr pushes Crystal back into the ropes, and the two twist and turn into the corner, with Ambyr forcing the action. Neither breaks and the referee is forced to step in between them to force the break. Ambyr takes a few steps back, but then moves back in, forcing Crystal to duck in between the ropes, and the referee once again makes Ambyr step back. Crystal charges out of the corner, but gets swept to the mat. Crystal covers 1...kickout. Crystal goes for her own sweep, but Ambyr jumps up. Crystal then grabs Ambyr's head for snapmare. Crystal covers, but Ambyr kicks out immediately. Ambyr scrambles to her feet, and the two lock up again and Ambyr puts on a side headlock. Not wanting to stay in this for long, Crystal backs Ambyr into the ropes and shoots her off. Crystal drops down and Ambyr goes over the top. on the rebound, Ambyr just runs over Crystal with a shoulderblock. Ambyr dives into another cover 1...2..kickout. Ambyr grabs Crystal as she stands and goes for a slam, but Crystal blocks. Crystal goes for ever own slam, but Ambyr slides down her back and pushes her into the corner. Ambyr runs in, but Crystal catches her with an elbow. Crystal rolls up Ambyr from behind 1...2..kickout. Crystal stands and goes for an Irish whip, but Ambyr reverses and sends Crystal in. Crystal hits the corner hard, but Ambyr charges, Crystal moves out of the way and Ambyr collides with the corner. Crystal charges and knocks down Ambyr with a clothesline. Crystal starts strutting around the ring, not paying attention as Ambyr gets up. Crystal is too busy mugging for the camera to notice that Ambyr is back up, and then Ambyr nails her from behind. }
Troy Franklin: Crystal turned her back and she paid for it.
Duke King: You cannot make those kinds of mistakes, especially with an opponent like Ambyr Foxx.
{Ambyr now has Crystal in the corner and hammers away with forearms. She grabs Crystal by the hair and leads her to the next corner and rams her face into the turnbuckle. Spinning Crystal around, Ambyr fires off about 5 kicks to the mid-section of Crystal. Again leading her out of the corner, Ambyr throws her into the next corner, and after spinning her around, drives shoulders into the gut of Crystal. After that, Ambyr again throws Crystal into the next corner and hits some stiff forearms before hitting a snapmare, followed by a low dropkick to the back of The Bombshell.}
Troy Franklin: And this is why you can't turn your back. Ambyr is all over Crystal right now.
{Crystal rolls around before slowly getting up, and Ambyr is there to meet her with more forearm shots. Ambyr goes for the Irish whip, but Crystal reverses. One the rebound though, Ambyr catches her with crossbody! 1...2..kickout. Ambyr gets up quickly, and begins driving hard knees into the back of Crystal, causing her to yelp in pain. Ambyr yanks on Crystal's hair to force her to the mat, and then drops a leg. Ambyr covers again 1...2..kickout. Crystal rolls to her knees and grabs to a doubled over position, when Ambyr again tosses her into a corner. Pushing back on Crystal's chin, Ambyr delivers a vicious chop to the chest of Crystal. Crystal clutches her chest in pain as Ambyr shakes out her own hand. Ambyr grabs Crystal and tosses her across the ring to the other corner and follows her in with a clothesline. Crystal stumbles out and Ambyr hits the ropes and nails her with an elbow. Ambyr makes another cover 1...2..kickout. Frustrated, Ambyr covers again. 1...2..kickout. Frustrated, Ambyr questions the count as Crystal slides into the corner to regroup. She doesn't get much chance as Ambyr begins choking her with her boot. After a 4 count, Ambyr breaks. Ambyr moves back inn and grabs Crystal's legs and alley-oops her out of the corner, and covers again. 1...2..kickout!}
Troy Franklin: And again Crystal escapes.
Duke King: She'll have to do something quick.
{Ambyr pulls Crystal to her feet and delivers a neckbreaker. Ambyr stares down at Crystal and then jump flat out stomps on her head. Then again. Then Ambyr stands on Crystal's hair and pulls up on her arm, causing Crystal to scream in pain. The referee continues to admonish her about her cheating, but she ignores him. Ambyr argues with the ref about this, giving Crystal a moment to recover. Ambyr goes back to Crystal, who uses Ambyr's tights and tosses her into the corner.}
Troy Franklin: And a desperation move by Crystal right there.
{Now it's Crystal turn to get some shots in as she chops Ambyr in the chest in retaliation from earlier. Then Crystal goes to kicking and stomping Ambyr down in the corner. Ambyr slumps down and Crystal chokes her with her boot. On 4, she breaks. Ambyr stumbles up and Crystal grabs her and throws her into the rope, and on the rebound, connects with a clothesline. Ambyr stumbles up quickly and walks into a bicycle kick right to the jaw. Cover. 1...2...3no! Ambyr rolls her shoulder. Crystal then begins heading towards the top rope. She climbs and makes it up, and waits for Ambyr to get up, Ambyr does so, and Crystal flies off, flipping in mid air looking for the Crystal-go-round, but Ambyr moves. Crystal however, is athletic enough to land on her feet. Stunned from the landing, Crystal looks for Ambyr, who goes to apply the No Escape [Cross-face chicken wing] but Crystal is able to counter by raking the eyes of Ambyr. Ambyr stumbles around blinded, and walks right into a Heartbreaker [Superkick] from Crystal. Crystal falls into the cover hooking both legs 1....2....3! }
Troy Franklin: And Crystal Taylor has advanced. She's going to meet Kandi Washington, in the semi finals!
Duke King: Crystal proving her toughness, and nastiness here tonight with a hard fought win.
{We cut backstage to the trainer's room where the door is closed and Carmen Diaz is standing outside of it.}
Carmen Diaz: Guys, I just left this medical station where Miss Michelle, who advanced to the semi finals earlier tonight, has been being attended to, and from everything I've seen, that attack by Lilith Maddox and Angelique Dobson, has severely injured Michelle. Early speculation was that of broken leg, but maybe thankfully for Michelle, she's been diagnosed with a sprained Ankle. It's looking like, with the two week period, Michelle will be able to continue in the tournament.
{The scene cuts back to Troy and Duke at the announce booth.}
Troy Franklin: Wow, that was almost a huge blow to Miss Michelle, and we hope that she makes a speedy recovery.
Duke King: Absolutely, and now, you have to wonder if there will be any repercussions for the actions of the Ascension.
{ There's a small cheer as L.A.W. President Lucas Dupree has walked down the aisle and into the ring. He has a concerned look on his face, as he takes the mic.}
Lucas Dupree: Ladies and Gentlemen, there's been a lot going on backstage, as the events of this night unfolded.
{A Pause.}
Lucas Dupree: During the Miss Michelle vs Lilith Maddox match, there was plans for an outright heinous act that could have cost Miss Michelle a spot in this tournament.
{Boos.}
Lucas Dupree: Now, This will not go unpunished, as it crossed the line of competition. Lilith Maddox is now scheduled to compete in a fatal fourway next week in Cincinnati. But that, just isn't going to happen now.
{Cheers}
Lucas Dupree: And on top of that, Angelique Dobson, has been removed from the battle royal tonight. And both of them are going to be fined, and suspended.
{There's a commotion as Lilith and Angelique appear in the aisleway.}
Lilith Maddox: You can't do this to us. You don't own us.
Lucas Dupree: When you do what you did, the hell I can't.
Lilith Maddox: No, you can't. Because we quit.
{There's a stunned silence as Lilith and Angelique turn and walk away as Lucas chases after them.}
Troy Franklin: Did I hear that right, Duke? The Ascension has quit?
Duke King: Apparently so. And now they're leaving the building.
Troy Franklin: This night just gets crazier. Let's go to the ring for the battle royal..
{The 8 women are in the ring and the bell sounds. They all eventually pair off, Keira with Viola, Cindy with Violet, Hannibal and Emily. and Skye with Danica. They all battle, and the camera switches time and time again to see Keira nail Viola, Cindy and Violet exchange punches until Violet pokes Cindy in the eye. Hannibal lifts Emily high overhead and press slams her to the mat, and Skye stomps Danica in the corner.}
Troy Franklin: And the action is getting fast and furious. Arms and legs flying around. It's dangerous in there.
{Hannibal then walks over to Keira to help Viola. Keira and her pair off now, leaving Viola stunned against the ropes. Emily gets up and charges Viola with a cross-body and both of them fly over the top and land on the floor.}
Troy Franklin: And Emily Rose and Viola have been eliminated!
Duke King: Well, Emily's momentum took her and Viola out of the match.
{In the mean time, Violet is also out by Cindy, and Keira has come over to assist. Hannibal attacks Skye, and holds her for Danica to have some free shots. Violet escapes by poking Cindy in the eye as she was down on the mat trying to eliminate her. Keria tries to continue the elimination, but Violet hangs on for dear life. Hannibal continues to hold Skye, but Danica hits the ropes and goes for a punch, but Sky ducks and Hannibal gets popped by Danica. Danica shrugs and nails Hannibal again, but Hannibal begins choking Danica in response. Skye in the mean time, has recovered and nailed Cindy as she stumbles around into her, and then dumps Hannibal and Danica at the same time. Danica holds on, but Hannibal is eliminated!}
Troy Franklin: And Hannibal has been eliminated! But Danica held on.
{Danica hangs on and pulls herself up. She re-enters the ring as Cindy nails her with a shot. Keira is down in the corner as Skye puts the boots to her, and Violet is down, hurting from something the camera didn't catch. Violet falls out of the ring, but since she did not go over the top, she's still in the match. Skye picks up Keira and tries to eliminate her, but isn't successful. Danica in the meantime has gotten a shot on Cindy. She has Cindy over the ropes, but Cindy is hanging on, trying to stay in. Skye comes over and assists and they almost have Cindy out. Then Keira walks up and tries to dump them all!}
Troy Franklin: Keira Fisher has dumped everyone in the ring!
Duke King: But they all held on!
{Indeed, Cindy, Danica and Skye have all held on. Keira sees this and charges, but she is dumped over, but somehow, she holds on! Danica is the first to get back into the ring. Keira rolls under the ropes leaving Cindy and Skye. Danica gets up and hits both women hanging on the apron stunning them. She tries to push them off, but they still hold on. Danica then hits the ropes for more momentum, but both Skye and Cindy look at each other, and duck, leaving Danica to fall out of the ring!}
Troy Franklin: And Danica Jones is gone!
{Cindy and Skye high five, but then as Cindy tries to go back in the ring, Skye yanks her by the hair off the apron and out of the ring!}
Troy Franklin: And Skye Sparks has eliminated Cindy Warren!
Duke King: What a double cross!
{Skye re-enters the ring and for the moment, it's down to her and Keira. They begin exchanging punches with Skye getting the better. Skye rocks Keira into the corner and goes for the elimination, but Keira punches her way out of trouble. Skye wobbles around dazed, and Keira hits the ropes and clotheslines her over, but Skye hangs on. Skye then grabs a hold of Keira and Keira leans against the ropes, trying not to go over. Suddenly, Violet springs back into the ring and pushes Keira over the top and out of the ring! Keira lands on Skye, who almost falls out, but is hanging on.
Troy Franklin: And Keira Fisher is gone. Violet with the sneak attack!
{Violet turns and points to her own head as she thinks she fooled everyone. But Skye pulls herself up and rolls back inside. Violet turns and sees this. She stomps Skye repeatedly, angry that her plan didn't work. Skye gets back up, and Violet charges, but Skye dumps her over the top as well. Violet hangs on and skins the cat to get back in, but Skye catches her feet before she can re-enter. Skye tries to push Violet out, but Violet hooks her head and takes her over. Skye falls and She AND Violet tumble off the apron. They both hit the floor hard.}[/font]
Troy Franklin: Oh no! They're both out!
Duke King: Who won this thing?
{Referees check on both women as another referee comes to the announce position and views the replays of the end. The image shows exactly what happened, so the referee walks down and speaks with Beth Harris.}
Beth Harris: Ladies and Gentlemen, after instant relay review, the winner of the battle royal...VIOLET!
{The crowd boos as Violet slowly gets up, laughing as her hand is raised. Skye pleads her case to the referees as she still smarts from the match.}
Troy Franklin: Wow. You talk about a photo finish.
Duke King: Either one of these women could have won this thing, and honestly, this might not be over.
{Violet rolls back into the ring and raises her arms in victory as Skye still argues with the referees about who landed first.}
Troy Franklin: Violet has won, and will have one of the three spot to become the Marquee champion coming up soon.
Duke King: And let's not forget, we're down to four: Kate Steele, Crystal Taylor, Miss Michelle, and Kandi Washington to decide who's the first world champion!
Troy Franklin: Plus, a lot more action is coming when we hit Cincinnati on March 23rd! We'll see you then..
Troy Franklin: Hello everyone, and welcome to Ladies All-Star Wrestling, I'm Troy Franklin along side Duke King, here to call the action live from Evansville, as the tournament to crown the first L.A.W. World champion rolls on.
Duke King: That's right Troy, we saw upsets, we saw domination, we saw classic wrestling, we had a lot of stuff going on, and tonight, we're in for round 2
Troy Franklin: But in addition to the tournament, we have a battle royal, and those can get crazy. But we're going to kick things off with three, yes, three lovely ladies making their debut right now
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beth Harris: The following match is a triple threat debutants match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from London England she is the Black Widow Amy Drew!!!
{Freak Like Me by Haelstorm begins to blast across the speakers as Amy Drew makes their way to the ring.}
Beth Harris: Introducing next from Albuquerque New Mexico Juliet Brooks
{As "Sexy" blasts through the PA system, Juliet steps out on the stage, flashing her pearly whites, much to everyone's delight. The beautiful figure in gold surveys the audience in attendance tonight. She walks halfway down the ramp and greets her people. As she nears the ring, she is hoping to get a good reaction. She gets in the ring and paces, ready for the start of the match.}
Beth Harris: And from Belfast Ireland she is the weather girl Fiona Williams!!!!!
{“Make It Rain” by Fat Joe & Lil’ Wayne begins to play loudly all throughout the arena. As it does we are able to see Todd Williams and Fiona walking from the back. Fiona is holding an umbrella in her hand and she pops it open. As it does 100 dollar bills begin to flow from the ceiling. She uses the umbrella to keep them from hitting Todd and her. Todd smiles as he wraps his arm around Fiona’s and the two of them slowly make their way to the ring. Fiona twirls her umbrella in circles as Todd laughs at the fans booing them. She slides into the ring and hands her umbrella to Todd. She pulls down on her booty shorts a bit spanking them as she waits for the match to start.}
Troy Franklin: Well here we go triple threat debutants match. These three are all eager to be here but only one will emerge victorious
Duke King: Let’s see which one of these ladies are going to break out of their shell and bring home the win.
{The match starts off with the three girls staring at one another. The crowd begins to cheer loudly as they all meet in the center of the ring. Fiona however sends a leg in between Amy’s legs and Amy reaches in between her legs as Fiona let’s a wicked grin escape her lips.}
Troy Franklin: That was uncalled for.
Duke King: But in these matches contested under triple threat rules, there are no rules. So everything is legal.
{Fiona grins as she grabs Amy and tosses her out of the ring before clapping her hands together. However she forgot about Juliet being apart of the match and as soon as Fiona turns around she is caught by a shining wizard to the face. The kick sends Fiona straight to the mat and the Irish born wrestler begins to reach up at her face in pain .Juliet helps Fiona up to her feet and she immediately kicks her in the gut before driving her right into the confines of the mat with a ddt. Fiona is laid out as Juliet makes the cover. One….Two…. Amy quickly hops inside the ring as she breaks up the pin. Amy is standing tall now as she lays some boots into Juliet. She yanks her up to her feet by the hair and whips her towards the corner. Amy runs at her in the corner and nails her with a splash. She pulls herself over the ropes as she connects with a tarantula.}
Troy Franklin: What a great use of a submission move.
Duke King: But it’s outside of the ring. You can’t win this match by being outside.
{Fiona finally makes it to her feet and when Amy slides back into the ring Fiona nails Amy with a dropkick that sends her against Juliet. Fiona backs away before she comes sprinting out of the corner with a drop kick attempt. Amy moves, and at the last second Juliet moves as well as Fiona’s legs hit the ropes. Fiona hit’s the mat with a loud thud as Amy and Juliet both grab Fiona and send her down to the mat with a double suplex. Amy quickly lifts Juliet up as she holds her in the air for a Widows peak but she slips out of Juliet’s grip as she lands on her feet and launches a drop kick that sends Amy out of the ring. Fiona rises back up and that is when Juliet nails Fiona with a butterfly kick. Fiona goes down to the mat as Juliet hooks the leg…. One….Two….Three…..}
Troy Franklin: She did it! She did it!
Duke: Looks like we have ourselves a winner!
Beth Harris: And the winner of this match as a result of a pin fall…. Juliet Brooks!!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{“Bitch” hits the sound system and a wave of fans immediately stands to their feet as Morgan Alvertez steps out from the back. She flips her hair over the shoulder, squints her eyes, and staring at the fans as if they are nowhere near her prestige. They boo her as she tilts her head down and Crystal Taylor walks out to her side. She raises Morgan’s left wrist as Morgan points to her chest after circling her waist. Crystal releases Morgan’s wrist and the pair of divas proceed down the ramp while the fans continue to boo them. As Morgan and Crystal reach the bottom of the ramp, Crystal pauses and stares from right to left as she scowls at their presences.}
Beth Harris: Introducing first – From Tampa, Florida, weighing in at 110 pounds, “The Vixen” Morgan Alvertez!
{Morgan walks to the steel stairs and slowly creeps up the three steps. She walks along the ring apron and stops in the middle before lowering down, and going underneath the second rope. After entering the ring, she raises her arms and starts to motion down to her with two fingers as Crystal walks along ringside clapping and cheering for Morgan Alvertez. While Morgan continues to bask in her own spotlight, her theme is cut off as her opponent’s music immediately starts to play. She looks up at ramp with a look of anger as she kneels down over the second rope and begins to talk “game” with Crystal.}
Tony Franklin: We’re in for a showdown here tonight folks, as Morgan looks completely ready to begin this match. I would suspect that she wants to make a quick show of this tonight.
Duke King: You ain’t kiddin’ Tony. But if I were her opponent, I’d try to make this match anything but quick, if you catch my drift.
{“Monster by Paramore” begins to blast all over the speakers. As it does so we are able to see Kate Steele-Warren emerge on the entrance ramp. She has a guitar in her hand but she doesn’t even bother to strum at it. She shows absolutely no emotion before she decides to hand her guitar to her husband Todd Warren who escorts her. She walks down to the ring locked in a trance as fans eagerly stretch out their arms to get the redhead to slap their hands. However what they get in return is nothing. No screaming, no reaction, just Kate simply walking to the ring. Todd smiles as he takes her place and tries to slap their hands but the fans pull back as they give him dirty looks.}
Beth Harris: And her opponent – also from Tampa, Florida, and also weighing in at 110 pounds, Kate Steele!
{She finally makes her way to the ring and once she gets there she quickly slides into the ring. The fans roar with Steele chants but she just bounces around for a bit not acknowledging them as her mind is focus on the match itself.}
Tony Franklin: And these two ladies are pretty evenly matched as they are almost identical in size.
Duke King: Identical in size, maybe. But I have to give the edge to Morgan in this match.
Tony Franklin: What makes you say that Duke?
Duke King: The fact that she always makes me stand at attention Tony.
Tony Franklin: I don’t think I’m going to touch that comment with a ten foot pole. Well, here we go folks, this match is just about to get underway!
{The two women circle the ring, eying each other up before finally locking up in the middle. Kate tries to push Morgan back, but Morgan is able to use her slight height advantage for leverage as she holds her ground and delivers a stiff front right kick to Kate’s midsection. Without hesitation Morgan spins to one side and drives Kate into the mat face first with a snap drop toe hold. She flaunts to the crowd for a moment before stepping on the hair on each side of Kate’s head. Kate tries to rise to her feet, but as soon as she does and realizes that she is being held by her hair she reaches back instinctively. Morgan uses the opportunity to pull up on her arms, causing her to cry out in pain.}
Tony Franklin: And a brutal maneuver there by Morgan. She has Kate quite literally between a rock and a hard place.
Duke King: I agree, she’s definitely accustomed to being on top!
{After being warned by the ref to break the hold, Morgan places her boot on the back of Kate’s head and smashes her face first back onto the mat. Kate begins to crawl toward the ropes and Morgan is hot on her heels, stalking her like prey. As Kate begins to stand up Morgan moves in to strike again. She places Kate in a headlock and goes for a springboard bulldog, but Kate is able to break free and throw Morgan onto her back with a loud thud. Morgan slides up to her feet, holding her lower back, and is met with a springboard crossbody the moment she turns around to face her opponent. Kate charges to her feet, with Morgan not far behind her. Just as Morgan is able to establish her footing, Kate begins to unleash a series of martial arts kicks all over her body, finished off by a pele kick that sends Morgan spiraling down to her knees.}
Tony Franklin: What a series of kicks by Kate Steele! Just when we were wondering when we were going to see some offense, she explodes like a cannon.
Duke King: Let me tell you what’s offensive Tony, the fact that management thought I couldn’t handle refereeing this match.
{Kate pulls Morgan to her feet and whips her into the corner. She charges in for a yakuza kick, but Morgan is able to roll to the side at the last second. Kate gets her foot caught on the top rope for just a second, but it’s long enough for Morgan to capitalize. Morgan delivers a stiff kick right to the inner thigh of Kate’s left leg, causing her to crumble to the mat with a cry of pain. Morgan picks her back up and tosses her hair first into the corner where she proceeds to choke her with her foot. The referee warns her and begins a five count, but he doesn’t even make it to four before Morgan lets go. Morgan turns around and blows a kiss to the crowd as Kate falls face first to the mat like a limp sack of potatoes. Morgan goes for the cover.1...2...kickout!}
Duke King: Did you catch that Tony? Morgan blew me a kiss!
Tony Franklin: Keep telling yourself that Duke. That was a close fall by Morgan! I thought for a second that she had this match in the bag.
{Morgan leaps up to her feet and wastes no time on her opponent. She picks Kate up and hits her with a stiff scoop slam right next to the corner. She then climbs the turnbuckle where she attempts a top rope ladies elbow. Right before she connects, Kate throws her shoulder across her body and is able to roll out of the way, causing Morgan to eat canvas! The crowd leaps to their feet and they begin a deafening roar as Kate begins to rise. Morgan makes her way to her feet and charges at Kate with a clothesline, but Kate is able to turn it into a float over DDT! Both competitors lay on the mat, gassed and looking for the will to continue.}
Tony Franklin: And both ladies are down! This match has been amazing and have certainly taken a lot out of each competitor.
Duke King: I gotta tell you Tony, I’m quite disappointed with what I’m seeing. I thought these girls would last a lot longer than this.
{"As the girls lay on the mat, The crowd boos as Kandi Washington walks down the aisle. As the girls both get up, Morgan nails Kate with a clothesline. Morgan turns and sees Kandi and smirks, challenging her to step in to the ring. She steps back and stomps Kate again, before continuing to jaw with Kandi. Kandi only smirks as Morgan turns back and Kate hits her with a blow to the gut. Then another, then another. And then Morgan rakes the eyes of Kate to stun her. Morgan turns to Kandi and motions she's going to end the match, then charges a binded Kate, but Kate is able to drop down and lift her over her shoulder. She then positions Morgan and drops her down with the Punk Driver! [White Noise] Kate covers, hooking the leg. 1....2....3! }
Troy Franklin: And Kate Steele has pulled off a major upset!
Duke King: This is all Kandi's fault!
Troy Franklin: Morgan took her eye off the ball, and she paid for it.
{We cut back to Kandi laughing in the aisle, and Morgan fuming as Kate's hand is raised in victory. Kate slides out of the ring and begins slapping fan hands and climbs over the guardrail and into the crowd to celebrate.}
Troy Franklin: It's a night of surprises no doubt! Kate Steele is headed to the semi finals to face either Miss Michelle or Lilith Maddox!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{"Mistress of the Night" by Lucyfire replaces the silence and Lilith Maddox, accompanied by Angelique Dobson make their way to the ring with their eerie entrance. Angelique stops and motions for Lilith to enter the ring and she does so. She slowly rises as the music cuts out}
Troy Franklin: This odd couple went 1-1 last week, Lilith did advance after stealing one from Danica Jones, but Angelique was disqualified against Crystal Taylor.
Duke King: It wasn't easy last week, and it's not going to get any easier this week.
{Her music cuts out as "Queen of the Riech" begins and Miss Michelle, the confident leggy lady wrestler parts the curtain to loud cheers. She confidently strides down the aisle, before climbing up the steps and getting into the ring}
Troy Franklin: And Michelle a little more cautious this week after Violet attacked her before the match started. Not going to fall for that twice.
{The bell sounds and the two circle, each looking for an opening, before they lock up. Lilith is a little stronger and pushes Michelle back into the corner, and breaks cleanly. Michelle and Lilith again circle, and lock up, and Michelle this time uses leverage and takes Lilith to the mat with a headlock. Grinding for all she's worth, she pins Lilth's shoulders to the mat. 1...Lilith raises her shoulder. Lilith swings her legs towards Michelle's head, locking for a leg scissors, but Michelle gets her arm up to block. Michelle switches to a front face lock to keep Lilith grounded, but Lilith reverses into a hammerlock, then floats into a front face lock of her own. Michelle is able to reverse out again, and reclaim her front face lock, but Lilith gets to her feet, and spins into an arm wringer, but then begins vicious kicks to the left leg of Michelle. A series of three kicks drops Michelle to the mat, clutching her leg.}
Troy Franklin: And here's where the long legs of Michelle can hurt her in this match.
Duke King: You're seeing Lilith zero in on that leg, She's really going to town now.
{Lilith begins stomping at the back of the knee of Michelle, causing her to yell in pain with each kick. Michelle scoots on the mat to create some distance, but Lilith steps on her leg, and kicks her again. Lilith positions her leg on the ropes, and then jumps up and stomps on her knee joint. Michelle rolls around in pain as the referee admonishes Lilith about using the ropes. Lilith moves back in, but gets a headbutt to the gut, stopping her momentarily. Lilith tries to go for Michelle's leg again, but Michelle moves around to keep herself in front of Lilith, protecting her leg. Lilith simply grabs a handful of hair and slams Michelle's face into the canvas, enabling her to lock in a leg bar on the injured leg of Michelle.}
Troy Franklin: And Lilith is just relentless now.
Duke King: It's a sound strategy Troy. Lilith is dangerous when she has a gameplan.
{Michelle yells in pain and tries to keep her shoulders off the mat. She pulls at Lilith's hair, but the referee forces her to let go. Lilith then turns into a series of spinning toe holds, trying to get a submission. Michelle refuses to give up, but yells in pain with each turn. Michelle finally uses her free right leg to push Lilith off of her, and get a little bit of breathing room. She gets to the corner as Lilith moves back in, but a kick to the gut with Michelle's good leg slows her down. Michelle kicks again, and gets a little more room. She tries to stand, but Lilith is right there to kick her and drop her again.}
Troy Franklin: This isn't looking good right now for Miss Michelle.
Duke King: She's had very little offense in this match, and if she doesn't turn it around soon, Lilith may just destroy that leg.
{Lilith looks at Angelique on the outside, who nods in approval. Lilith goes to pick up Michelle after dragging her out of the corner, but Michelle surprises her with a small package! 1....2.....3!}
Troy Franklin: Holy heck! Did Michelle just win?!
Duke King: That happened so fast!
{"Queen of the Reich" plays again, and Michelle's arm is raised, but she lays on the mat in pain. Angelique quickly hops up on the apron, and enters the ring with a pipe. Lilith quickly pushes the referee down as Angelique stomps a fallen Michelle. Lilith kicks the ref in the crotch, and they quickly turn their attention to Michelle.}
Troy Franklin: What is this about?! Somebody stop this!
{Lilith then grabs a hold a Michelle's leg and holds her down. Angelique raises the pipe and as Roxi Johnson comes running down the ramp with a steel chair! Roxi slides in just in time, saving Michelle as }
Troy Franklin: Thank goodness for Roxi Johnson.
{Angelique and Lilith laugh and smile as they back up the ramp as Roxi makes room for the medical staff to enter the ring.}
Troy Franklin: Those two are disgraceful.
Duke King: I'm a little more concerned about Michelle, Her leg was really injured during the match.
{Michelle is in pain, clutching her leg. Roxi and the medical staff assist her, and help her to the back.}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{The bell sounds for the next match as "Cult of Personality" blares over the PA as "The Anti-Diva" Ambyr Foxx soon parts the curtain and begins a slow, methodical walk to the ring. Unlike most who go up the steps, Ambyr slides into the ring and stands and raises her arms to the crowd, drawing boos. She takes off her jacket and begins testing out the ropes.}
Troy Franklin: Ambyr won decisively last week against Keira Fisher, if she can have a repeat performance tonight, she'll be making Carmen Diaz look like a prophet.
Duke King: But she'll be facing Crystal Taylor, who we didn't get to see the best of last week against Angelique Dobson, but she'll be looking to make an impact tonight.
{“All About Me” hits the sound system and pink lights start flickering throughout the arena while the fans stand up in a wave of boos as Crystal Taylor playfully dashes out from the back. She struts down the ramp while placing her hands in the back of hair and smirking at the crowd who shows her a negative reaction. Crystal stops down at the bottom and leans down as she fixes her bright pink knee pads before standing up. She dashes to the ring apron and she sets her right leg upon the side as she kneels up, shaking her little butt, and tilting her head back shaking her hair loosely. She does not stand completely up as she then goes underneath the second rope and enters the ring. She dashes over to the corner turnbuckle and climbs to the second rope. She points to her chest and starts clapping while saying, “come on Crystal,” but the fans continue to boo her. Crystal steps down off the ring apron and starts twirling her neck and stretching her arms as she roams around the ring.}
Troy Franklin: And here we go.
{The two lock up and neither gives an inch. Ambyr pushes Crystal back into the ropes, and the two twist and turn into the corner, with Ambyr forcing the action. Neither breaks and the referee is forced to step in between them to force the break. Ambyr takes a few steps back, but then moves back in, forcing Crystal to duck in between the ropes, and the referee once again makes Ambyr step back. Crystal charges out of the corner, but gets swept to the mat. Crystal covers 1...kickout. Crystal goes for her own sweep, but Ambyr jumps up. Crystal then grabs Ambyr's head for snapmare. Crystal covers, but Ambyr kicks out immediately. Ambyr scrambles to her feet, and the two lock up again and Ambyr puts on a side headlock. Not wanting to stay in this for long, Crystal backs Ambyr into the ropes and shoots her off. Crystal drops down and Ambyr goes over the top. on the rebound, Ambyr just runs over Crystal with a shoulderblock. Ambyr dives into another cover 1...2..kickout. Ambyr grabs Crystal as she stands and goes for a slam, but Crystal blocks. Crystal goes for ever own slam, but Ambyr slides down her back and pushes her into the corner. Ambyr runs in, but Crystal catches her with an elbow. Crystal rolls up Ambyr from behind 1...2..kickout. Crystal stands and goes for an Irish whip, but Ambyr reverses and sends Crystal in. Crystal hits the corner hard, but Ambyr charges, Crystal moves out of the way and Ambyr collides with the corner. Crystal charges and knocks down Ambyr with a clothesline. Crystal starts strutting around the ring, not paying attention as Ambyr gets up. Crystal is too busy mugging for the camera to notice that Ambyr is back up, and then Ambyr nails her from behind. }
Troy Franklin: Crystal turned her back and she paid for it.
Duke King: You cannot make those kinds of mistakes, especially with an opponent like Ambyr Foxx.
{Ambyr now has Crystal in the corner and hammers away with forearms. She grabs Crystal by the hair and leads her to the next corner and rams her face into the turnbuckle. Spinning Crystal around, Ambyr fires off about 5 kicks to the mid-section of Crystal. Again leading her out of the corner, Ambyr throws her into the next corner, and after spinning her around, drives shoulders into the gut of Crystal. After that, Ambyr again throws Crystal into the next corner and hits some stiff forearms before hitting a snapmare, followed by a low dropkick to the back of The Bombshell.}
Troy Franklin: And this is why you can't turn your back. Ambyr is all over Crystal right now.
{Crystal rolls around before slowly getting up, and Ambyr is there to meet her with more forearm shots. Ambyr goes for the Irish whip, but Crystal reverses. One the rebound though, Ambyr catches her with crossbody! 1...2..kickout. Ambyr gets up quickly, and begins driving hard knees into the back of Crystal, causing her to yelp in pain. Ambyr yanks on Crystal's hair to force her to the mat, and then drops a leg. Ambyr covers again 1...2..kickout. Crystal rolls to her knees and grabs to a doubled over position, when Ambyr again tosses her into a corner. Pushing back on Crystal's chin, Ambyr delivers a vicious chop to the chest of Crystal. Crystal clutches her chest in pain as Ambyr shakes out her own hand. Ambyr grabs Crystal and tosses her across the ring to the other corner and follows her in with a clothesline. Crystal stumbles out and Ambyr hits the ropes and nails her with an elbow. Ambyr makes another cover 1...2..kickout. Frustrated, Ambyr covers again. 1...2..kickout. Frustrated, Ambyr questions the count as Crystal slides into the corner to regroup. She doesn't get much chance as Ambyr begins choking her with her boot. After a 4 count, Ambyr breaks. Ambyr moves back inn and grabs Crystal's legs and alley-oops her out of the corner, and covers again. 1...2..kickout!}
Troy Franklin: And again Crystal escapes.
Duke King: She'll have to do something quick.
{Ambyr pulls Crystal to her feet and delivers a neckbreaker. Ambyr stares down at Crystal and then jump flat out stomps on her head. Then again. Then Ambyr stands on Crystal's hair and pulls up on her arm, causing Crystal to scream in pain. The referee continues to admonish her about her cheating, but she ignores him. Ambyr argues with the ref about this, giving Crystal a moment to recover. Ambyr goes back to Crystal, who uses Ambyr's tights and tosses her into the corner.}
Troy Franklin: And a desperation move by Crystal right there.
{Now it's Crystal turn to get some shots in as she chops Ambyr in the chest in retaliation from earlier. Then Crystal goes to kicking and stomping Ambyr down in the corner. Ambyr slumps down and Crystal chokes her with her boot. On 4, she breaks. Ambyr stumbles up and Crystal grabs her and throws her into the rope, and on the rebound, connects with a clothesline. Ambyr stumbles up quickly and walks into a bicycle kick right to the jaw. Cover. 1...2...3no! Ambyr rolls her shoulder. Crystal then begins heading towards the top rope. She climbs and makes it up, and waits for Ambyr to get up, Ambyr does so, and Crystal flies off, flipping in mid air looking for the Crystal-go-round, but Ambyr moves. Crystal however, is athletic enough to land on her feet. Stunned from the landing, Crystal looks for Ambyr, who goes to apply the No Escape [Cross-face chicken wing] but Crystal is able to counter by raking the eyes of Ambyr. Ambyr stumbles around blinded, and walks right into a Heartbreaker [Superkick] from Crystal. Crystal falls into the cover hooking both legs 1....2....3! }
Troy Franklin: And Crystal Taylor has advanced. She's going to meet Kandi Washington, in the semi finals!
Duke King: Crystal proving her toughness, and nastiness here tonight with a hard fought win.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{We cut backstage to the trainer's room where the door is closed and Carmen Diaz is standing outside of it.}
Carmen Diaz: Guys, I just left this medical station where Miss Michelle, who advanced to the semi finals earlier tonight, has been being attended to, and from everything I've seen, that attack by Lilith Maddox and Angelique Dobson, has severely injured Michelle. Early speculation was that of broken leg, but maybe thankfully for Michelle, she's been diagnosed with a sprained Ankle. It's looking like, with the two week period, Michelle will be able to continue in the tournament.
{The scene cuts back to Troy and Duke at the announce booth.}
Troy Franklin: Wow, that was almost a huge blow to Miss Michelle, and we hope that she makes a speedy recovery.
Duke King: Absolutely, and now, you have to wonder if there will be any repercussions for the actions of the Ascension.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{ There's a small cheer as L.A.W. President Lucas Dupree has walked down the aisle and into the ring. He has a concerned look on his face, as he takes the mic.}
Lucas Dupree: Ladies and Gentlemen, there's been a lot going on backstage, as the events of this night unfolded.
{A Pause.}
Lucas Dupree: During the Miss Michelle vs Lilith Maddox match, there was plans for an outright heinous act that could have cost Miss Michelle a spot in this tournament.
{Boos.}
Lucas Dupree: Now, This will not go unpunished, as it crossed the line of competition. Lilith Maddox is now scheduled to compete in a fatal fourway next week in Cincinnati. But that, just isn't going to happen now.
{Cheers}
Lucas Dupree: And on top of that, Angelique Dobson, has been removed from the battle royal tonight. And both of them are going to be fined, and suspended.
{There's a commotion as Lilith and Angelique appear in the aisleway.}
Lilith Maddox: You can't do this to us. You don't own us.
Lucas Dupree: When you do what you did, the hell I can't.
Lilith Maddox: No, you can't. Because we quit.
{There's a stunned silence as Lilith and Angelique turn and walk away as Lucas chases after them.}
Troy Franklin: Did I hear that right, Duke? The Ascension has quit?
Duke King: Apparently so. And now they're leaving the building.
Troy Franklin: This night just gets crazier. Let's go to the ring for the battle royal..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{The 8 women are in the ring and the bell sounds. They all eventually pair off, Keira with Viola, Cindy with Violet, Hannibal and Emily. and Skye with Danica. They all battle, and the camera switches time and time again to see Keira nail Viola, Cindy and Violet exchange punches until Violet pokes Cindy in the eye. Hannibal lifts Emily high overhead and press slams her to the mat, and Skye stomps Danica in the corner.}
Troy Franklin: And the action is getting fast and furious. Arms and legs flying around. It's dangerous in there.
{Hannibal then walks over to Keira to help Viola. Keira and her pair off now, leaving Viola stunned against the ropes. Emily gets up and charges Viola with a cross-body and both of them fly over the top and land on the floor.}
Troy Franklin: And Emily Rose and Viola have been eliminated!
Duke King: Well, Emily's momentum took her and Viola out of the match.
{In the mean time, Violet is also out by Cindy, and Keira has come over to assist. Hannibal attacks Skye, and holds her for Danica to have some free shots. Violet escapes by poking Cindy in the eye as she was down on the mat trying to eliminate her. Keria tries to continue the elimination, but Violet hangs on for dear life. Hannibal continues to hold Skye, but Danica hits the ropes and goes for a punch, but Sky ducks and Hannibal gets popped by Danica. Danica shrugs and nails Hannibal again, but Hannibal begins choking Danica in response. Skye in the mean time, has recovered and nailed Cindy as she stumbles around into her, and then dumps Hannibal and Danica at the same time. Danica holds on, but Hannibal is eliminated!}
Troy Franklin: And Hannibal has been eliminated! But Danica held on.
{Danica hangs on and pulls herself up. She re-enters the ring as Cindy nails her with a shot. Keira is down in the corner as Skye puts the boots to her, and Violet is down, hurting from something the camera didn't catch. Violet falls out of the ring, but since she did not go over the top, she's still in the match. Skye picks up Keira and tries to eliminate her, but isn't successful. Danica in the meantime has gotten a shot on Cindy. She has Cindy over the ropes, but Cindy is hanging on, trying to stay in. Skye comes over and assists and they almost have Cindy out. Then Keira walks up and tries to dump them all!}
Troy Franklin: Keira Fisher has dumped everyone in the ring!
Duke King: But they all held on!
{Indeed, Cindy, Danica and Skye have all held on. Keira sees this and charges, but she is dumped over, but somehow, she holds on! Danica is the first to get back into the ring. Keira rolls under the ropes leaving Cindy and Skye. Danica gets up and hits both women hanging on the apron stunning them. She tries to push them off, but they still hold on. Danica then hits the ropes for more momentum, but both Skye and Cindy look at each other, and duck, leaving Danica to fall out of the ring!}
Troy Franklin: And Danica Jones is gone!
{Cindy and Skye high five, but then as Cindy tries to go back in the ring, Skye yanks her by the hair off the apron and out of the ring!}
Troy Franklin: And Skye Sparks has eliminated Cindy Warren!
Duke King: What a double cross!
{Skye re-enters the ring and for the moment, it's down to her and Keira. They begin exchanging punches with Skye getting the better. Skye rocks Keira into the corner and goes for the elimination, but Keira punches her way out of trouble. Skye wobbles around dazed, and Keira hits the ropes and clotheslines her over, but Skye hangs on. Skye then grabs a hold of Keira and Keira leans against the ropes, trying not to go over. Suddenly, Violet springs back into the ring and pushes Keira over the top and out of the ring! Keira lands on Skye, who almost falls out, but is hanging on.
Troy Franklin: And Keira Fisher is gone. Violet with the sneak attack!
{Violet turns and points to her own head as she thinks she fooled everyone. But Skye pulls herself up and rolls back inside. Violet turns and sees this. She stomps Skye repeatedly, angry that her plan didn't work. Skye gets back up, and Violet charges, but Skye dumps her over the top as well. Violet hangs on and skins the cat to get back in, but Skye catches her feet before she can re-enter. Skye tries to push Violet out, but Violet hooks her head and takes her over. Skye falls and She AND Violet tumble off the apron. They both hit the floor hard.}[/font]
Troy Franklin: Oh no! They're both out!
Duke King: Who won this thing?
{Referees check on both women as another referee comes to the announce position and views the replays of the end. The image shows exactly what happened, so the referee walks down and speaks with Beth Harris.}
Beth Harris: Ladies and Gentlemen, after instant relay review, the winner of the battle royal...VIOLET!
{The crowd boos as Violet slowly gets up, laughing as her hand is raised. Skye pleads her case to the referees as she still smarts from the match.}
Troy Franklin: Wow. You talk about a photo finish.
Duke King: Either one of these women could have won this thing, and honestly, this might not be over.
{Violet rolls back into the ring and raises her arms in victory as Skye still argues with the referees about who landed first.}
Troy Franklin: Violet has won, and will have one of the three spot to become the Marquee champion coming up soon.
Duke King: And let's not forget, we're down to four: Kate Steele, Crystal Taylor, Miss Michelle, and Kandi Washington to decide who's the first world champion!
Troy Franklin: Plus, a lot more action is coming when we hit Cincinnati on March 23rd! We'll see you then..
